I use to love this place but today the food wasn't good. It tastes different in a bad way and the chicken is so dry. The yum yum sauce didn't help. The veggies didn't taste fresh. I'm going to wasabi from here on it. read more

The food is not bad but they close crazy earlier than their posted hours. Just kinda unprofessional. But if you are there a solid hour before supposed closing, you should be good. But the service is somewhat unpleasant. read more

The food was very fresh, cooked to perfection and quite delicious. The price of $14 for a plate of chicken hibachi and 2 egg rolls was exquisite. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Cockroaches! The food was actually really good and the prices were really good and then we saw several cockroaches at our table

We left this place hours ago and my innards are still trembling. We decided to try it because the elderly couple leaving Chef Lee's next door looked so miserable. It's pretty dirty inside (sticky surfaces, general grubbiness) and the guy taking orders couldn't tell me if the tempura chicken was white meat or not. He said he thought so. Guess what? He was wrong, so wrong. When our styrofoam-clad meals arrived, we popped them open to see a sea of what looked like twice-fried gristle. So much hard breading, so little time! I'll give them credit for it being plentiful! My mother and I each took a bite, looked at each other, and clamped the takeout boxes shut. We hate to throw food away but we're making bets on whether the neighborhood possum will turn up his snout at this. I'll give them one star because they weren't stingy. But I would tell anyone entering their doors to turn back. read more

Hibachi Express - Tempura chicken - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

This used to be one of my favorite places but it has gone down over the years. I'm not sure if this is the typical size for a teryaki bowl (I'm used to getting hibachi chicken which was in a bigger bowl and never came with vegetables like the menu says but I digress). The cream cheese wontons are DISGUSTING. 3 stars because the food is still decent enough for a good rating. read more

Hibachi Express - Teriyaki Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

I really like this restaurant, I've had the chicken bowl and fried rice, the steak and fried rice, the hibachi and rice and love it all. Great service, friendly, ambiance ok but can be better. But who am I . Thank you keep up the good work!!! read more

I do not recommend this place. The restaurant was dirty, the tables were not wiped off and the food was terrible.

This place was so bad. I'm am by no means a picky eater and even I couldn't finish the food after one bite. It was so bad that I just left it on the counter and walked out because of the disgust. They use dry chicken, cheap rice, and bad tasting sauce. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

i get my food and the teriyaki chicken is dry like desert the rice was good but hour later it made my stomach hurt bad and made my family sick come here with cautious read more

I arrive and there's a long line at the drive-thru: Good. Well, probably. Get inside and there's apparently some attitude from the "chef" toward the counter staff: Bad. An unhappy chef/cook can never be anything but Bad. Place order and pay, receive my change and a small container of Terry Ho's Original Yum-Tum Sauce: Wait, what? I've never been served grocery store sauce at a Japanese restaurant. Until now. Not good. Go to get sweet tea and the dispenser empty: Not good, but the unsweetened was decent, so not bad. Sit at a sticky table: Bad. And the food arrives. I wouldn't really call that steak. But the rice was decent. The first broccoli I tried had a funky taste so I skipped out on the vegetables. At least my hunger was semi-quenched. And now the prequel: Yelp reviewers had this place as a 2.0 whilst Google reviewers had it at a solid 4.3. It was an exploratory visit from the get-go, and Yelp winds hands down. This is a solid 2.0 visit to a 2.0 restaurant. Spend $12 extra and go down the street. Trust me. read more

Counter help doesn't want to be here. They are not ready for dine in service. Thank goodness food was tasty. read more

See all

I try to eat here on Sundays when I come into town. It's a pretty hearty lunch if you get the full orders. I've never had a problem with service. Cons: - 25 cents for extra sauce (you're not zaxbys dude) - The tables seem to always have a bit of stick to them. They seem clean, and I've seen staff wipe them down appropriately, but for whatever reason, they're kinda sticky. read more

Hibachi Express - These people have been here. - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

So for the price, portion size and quality I say it's worth it. My food was very fresh. My only complaint is the chicken being a little dry. It needs to be in a sauce. The cream cheese wontons are awesome! Wish there was more veg but that's just me. read more

This place use to be really good. I'm not sure what happened my most recent visit will be my last. The last three visits were bad however this time the chicken was so dry my dog couldn't even eat it. I decided to drive back to the establishment because they absolutely do not answer their phone. They remade my order and got it wrong! I luckily checked while I was still there. I never received an apology or anything. The manager fussed at the cook for getting it wrong. I got home just to realize the chicken was still very dry. read more

Went last night worst meal ever!!! Took 2 bites of my steak and it tasted off. So I ripped one apart completely raw inside. I've been sick all day. Never again. read more

Was once a regular customer, but no longer. I received the wrong order at the drive thru. When I called back I was told that I only had 2 days to come back for my order. I'm not interested in eating there twice a week. Called the owner and he told me that I HAD to tell him when I would come in the future because he had to be there because his employees apparently use misleading packed meals to give free food to their friends. He gave a lot of excuses for making the situation more inconvenient for me. See ya Hibachi. You're not the only game in town. read more

The name says it all; Asian fast food. Therefore, if you come here looking for good quality authentic food then you've come to the wrong place... I mean, it's Hispanic people cooking Chinese/Japanese food. BUT the food is still good for getting good sized portions for a decent price. This is your go-to if your craving cheap Chinese/Japanese food and feeling to lazy to walk the buffets or get out of your car in general. I usually get the chicken or steak hibachi with that delicious yum yum sauce smothered all over it. Can't go wrong with those. read more

I'm not one to broadcast anything, if I had a bad experience, I just don't go back. With that said, I will not be going back to Hibachi Express. My daughter stopped to get us something Monday evening on the way home. About 2 a.m., I started getting sick (throwing up and so forth). It lasted until about 8:30 the next evening (food poisoning). read more

My expectations for drive-thru hibachi weren't very high, but my first experience was slightly even less than that. I got the hibachi chicken meal--my chicken was hard and had no hibachi glaze like usual recipes have. It came with a cup of yum yum sauce which was the saving grace. I poured it all over the entire plate. Maybe they assume everyone does that so they don't bother seasoning. I guess I can understand that, however if it was seasoned properly I wouldn't have used nearly as much. The chicken itself was hard, stale morsels. Probably old and reheated. Rice was ok, veggies consisted mostly of big pieces of undercooked cabbage. Would I get this again? Maybe out of desperation. Perhaps I just went on an off day. My husband got the hibachi steak. His review was simple and spot on. "If I had to describe the flavor of this food with a color, it would be gray." Nice idea, poor execution. With a decent cook, a few seasonings and glazes--this place would be great. read more

Food is awesome I love the yum yum sauce,one of my favorites. The customer service is horrible. They could care less about the customers.

Nothing that blew my mind. Basic quick drive through hibachi. Ordered hibachi chicken and it wasn't bad but nothing to hoot and holler about. Service was quick and staff was friendly. No kids menu though it would be nice to be able to grab something for the kids along with my hibachi order. They were out of Pepsi which was off putting. If I'm in a rush I'll probably swing through. read more

Just bought food from Hibachi Express, 6160 Bradley Park Drive in Columbus Georgia. We went through the drive-thru. I must say the "food" is soOo NOT good!! The food looked as if it was just dumped together. It was not pleasing to the eye at all. The food is very greasy. The veggies are over cooked and limp. The rice was also greasy and tasted burned. The spring rolls were not good either, they had an oily taste to them. That place gives Asian food a bad name. We ended up tossing the meal! And not to be funny, but I now have an actual stomach ache! Needless to say we will NOT be eating there again! I was trying NOT to give any stars but "zero" stars is not an option. Why would I even want to give a star to an establishment than gave me a belly ache!? read more

The girl in the sparkly hat needs to be FIRED! How do you tell someone who requested 2 teriyaki sauces that you can give them one but they will have to come in and get the second one. This makes NO SENSE! So every other time that I have been there when this particular individual is working, she's just rude and ugly. Anyone else there, gladly meets my requests. I eat her frequently but tonight did it for me. No complaints about the food. Just one particular drive thru attendant! read more

Didn't have very high expectations but this place was so good. reminds me of a panda express but with hibachi and better. it's good.

I enjoy coming into this restaurant but there is one thing that needs to be fixed. Coming in and eating 3 consecutive times, I have noticed that the tables are sticky. This concerns me. I think the tables are being wiped with the same rag (one to remove debris and the same one put in sanitizer). If you enjoy your tables being wiped with sanitizer stored above the trash, then have at it. read more

Staff could use some training on customer service and store cleaning but other than that not too bad. I definitely recommend the drive through verses dinning in. Oh and order extra sauce with your food so you do not have to pay twice, yes they charge for the "yum yum" sauce. Lol read more

Portions are huge quality is horrible. I mean your average run-of-the-mill Chinese joint makes better food than this place. The fried rice is incredibly bland with no vegetables. If it were not for the yum yum sauce I could have not choked this junk down. If you want hibachi go to shogun or fuji. Walk next door to Chef Lees for the best chinese in Columbus. read more

First time trying this place the steak is bland & the yum yum sauce is the only thing saving this rice

I dont know what the hell I just consumed..... it looked like it could have crawled away but I attempted to eat it anyway. I could see my reflection in the grease that coated just about everything on my plate including the "veggies" that were a soggy pile of sauced cabbage and onions, delicious. Ive been to hibachi expresses before and theyre great but this one has some MAJOR work to do.... Gordon ramsay would roast the shit out of this establishment read more

Everything is always fresh, hot and served at relatively fast pace. I ordered the half order of Hibachi Shrimp. Once again, I'm a satisfied customer. read more

Professional, friendly staff and food very flavorful! I ordered the Hibachi Surf & Turk...it was delicious.

Probably the worst food I've ever eaten. Not 2 seconds after walking in I got bad vibes. This place and no ac and smelt like a sweaty shoe. It seemed like grease was the main ingredient in our food. Not to mention they didn't have vegetable more just extremely over cooked cabbage as a "vegetable". Do your self a favor and skip out on this hibachi express! read more

It's not the best place in the world, but it's very good for what it is. Hibachi is cooked fresh to order, and while it isn't perfect traditional hibachi, it's fresh & flavorful, inexpensive, and quick. Inside of the place is incredibly clean as well and the staff is friendly. read more

Food was too expensive seeing as most of it was cabbage. Drinks were all watered down. Would not recommend to my worst enemies.

I recently went here for the first time. I loved everything about it. Absolutely delicious and far too much stuff to even sample it all in one meal. Sorry I live so far away. Someone else paid, so what's not to like. read more

i went there not knowing what to order i saw a white male behind the counter that has'nt shaved in about 3 months. I don't know about you all. But i dont wont no body like that that to give me my food. Look to me the boss would send him home to shave. i wont be back! read more

I had the worst experience here ever. The chicken was so dry and hard. I also had a piece of wire from a brillo pad in my food. I called Terry Ho the owner and told him about my experience and he basically didn't care. He also told me that wire ends up in customers food once or twice a year and it will not harm me if I was to swallow it. Please don't go here to eat you will be dissapointed. read more
