This is a great place for takeout. We visit at least once or twice a month. The sushi is fresh. The hibachi meals are great and the portions are huge. The girls that serve you are so nice and always on top of everything. read more

Service was friendly. Food was hot and the portion was enough for two people. Again, not the best Chinese food we've had but can satisfy your craving. read more

DANGGG- that was my first reaction when handed the to-go box. They pack it full of food and it's heavy, meaning you're getting a great deal. I can't imagine the dinner portion. The chicken was delicious and tender and the rice was bomb. Busy at 12:30 PM for the lunch rush, the food still came out quick. Initially I was a bit leery with the restaurant being in a gas station, but it was clean and welcoming! Limited seating inside, but some outside! read more

Hibachi Express - Hibachi chicken lunch - Japanese Near Me - Morehead, Kentucky

I believe #IYKYK was penned specifically for Hibachi Express. "Gas station Hibachi?" You might ask. The answer is a resounding "YES!!" There's no better service, no better management, no better quick service Hibachi anywhere! This is a grab and go or drive through shop, with limited table seating, but so, so worth it! Get yours today!! read more

I was so happy to have my "gas station hibachi" as I call it when I visited this past weekend. The food was so good and fresh and we were able to have a lot of Yum Yum Sauce on the side. The food was able to stay hot and fresh while we ran a couple of orders out to Cave Run nearby for lunch for the rest of the family. Would recommend calling it in because by the time we got there it was ready for us. The lo mein was delicious and definitely a favorite. read more

Great go-to for take away food. There is a small dine in option that I hope one day becomes more cafe style but for now we are enjoying just having the option for good Hibachi food in our town! Service is friendly and fast to get hot food not something that's been sitting under a heat lamp. read more

This place is amazing, fast friendly people with excellent food, some say its pricey but for the amount of delicious food you get, its an absolute bargain & always taste great! read more

Food is great! Ask them to make it spicy and the chicken hibachi is awesome! Can't beat the price for the amount of food they give you.

The hibachi is good, fast, and reasonably priced. The sushi isn't as good as a more traditional Japanese restaurant and the clear soup is flavorless. Service is good and fast. read more

The food was very tasty, fresh & hot. The service was great! Very friendly! Don't let the location fool you. It's a small business next to a gas station. There are a couple table benches to eat at..but to go & drive through we're busy the entire time we we're here. read more

Great food! Ordered Steak, Chicken & Shrimp with Spring Rolls & Salad with Soup. Only thing I would change is the soup. We need to be able to order Onion Soup. Like, in WV. Otherwise, always friendly & very quick pick up orders. read more

Awesome service always! They are always fast and polite. I love me some hibachi. Well oiled machine. I'm Always greeted with a smile! read more

Great local family owned business. These people give back to the community and make fabulous food! Our fave.

Sure, it's in a gas station but don't let that fool you!!! This is one of my favorite restaurants in town! Try the steak hibachi! And say hi to Miss Rocky! read more

The best hibachi you could get a literal staple when coming to Morehead, the workers are really sweet too, fast service!

We stopped on our way to Louisville because of the reviews. Pulling in, I was a smidge concerned because it shares a building with a gas station.. it was surprisingly delicious! The crab Rangoons were seriously good. They are the larger triangle-shaped kind with good flavor. We will likely make this a pit stop on our way to Louisville in the future. read more

In a gas station? Don't let that put you off! Their food has amazing flavor, with huge portions and very reasonable prices. The staff are super friendly. We were in Morehead for work and stopped here because my co-workers knew about it. I have a feeling I'm going to be craving their food enough to drive from Lexington just to have some again. FYI: limited indoor counter seating, a couple of outside tables. Busy drive-through, and they seemed to be moving things along very quickly. read more

This is my favorite place to get great authentic food! They are always fast and the food is always delicious!

Food was quick and easy to get with the drive through window. The portions you get are GINORMOUS so you definitely get you're money worth

Was in the area for a day and looking for something other than a burger or a dine-in meal. Like many others have stated, I would have rolled in by after fueling up my car at the Valero gas station that is attached to Hibachi Express....except for those reviews. Used the online link to order Hibachi Filet Mignon and Shrimp. Go big or go home for just $14.95. The drive thru was busy for pickup- a good sign, I think- and I did not have to wait more than a minute for my turn. The to-go serving had enough protein, veggies and fried rice to feed 2 people and it was prepared perfectly. The filet was shockingly tender and the shrimp a larger size than expected. It also came with a spring roll which I didn't try. I would definitely eat here again!! read more

Stopped here when I was in Morehead for work. Lunch break. Incredible hibachi. Equivalent if not better than what you'll get at a Japanese steak house where they charge 3x the price of here. Keep doing the Lord's work Hibachi Express. Much love. read more

One of the Spanish speaking employees who works in the kitchen called me "A BASTARD" at the drive - through window.

Always have a great meal here, wether it's sushi, fried rice, or egg rolls, this place always hits the spot! Don't forget to get some of their delicious yum-yum sauce!! read more

Best sushi and hibachi restaurant around! Love this place and the eye for details with their service there. The employees here are great and will definitely remember you the next time you visit them! read more

I love the General tsol chicken and the pot stickers. It's probably the best gas station hibatchi in eastern ky!

Very good food. Sushi is great and it's fast! Best Asian food in Morehead! Reasonably priced as well!

Dropped in during the dinner rush, and it was very busy. The three people running the place seemed a little overwhelmed. Here's the thing with Hibachi: it's meant to be cooked in small portions (think Benihana), and not as large heaps of meat or vegetables on a grill. This place did more of the latter when I was there, and as a result my some of my chicken was overdone, not all of it was properly seared, and my veggies were generally overcooked. Given what I presume to be a lack of options in Morehead, Hibachi Express fills a need (and a belly: the portions are large!), but I've had better. read more

Terrific food and outstanding value! Wouldn't think to get food here, based on appearance (connected to a gas station), but it is well worth the visit. Nice people at drive thru and tasty, inexpensive meal. read more

The food is absolutely delicious. The best Yum-yum sauce you will ever eat. I normally get the chicken meal. Never been disappointed.

I am located in Lexington, and every time I take a trip to Morehead to see old collage friends, I ALWAYS stop here. It is some of the best hibachi I have ever tried and I have always loved how kind the workers are (especially when giving out more sauce)!!! 10/10 recommend! read more

If you are ever in Morehead,KY this place is Amazing for gas station hibachi! You will not be disappointed I promise!

I have been going here since it opened their food has always been great the service is great one specific lady always knows me and gives me exactly what she knows I ask for and I love going here read more

What a little treasure we found tucked beside a gas station! My family loves Japanese hibachi and are used to paying big $$$ in our hometown to get it. We found this on yelp while searching for a place to eat in Morehead on our way home from camping. The ingredients were fresh, cooked right behind the counter and were very tasty! You also cannot beat the price! My husband ordered steak and chicken, I ordered steak and shrimp and our daughter also ordered steak. All the meals came with rice, vegetables and sauces. We even ordered the dumplings and the total for everything with drinks was $32.75! If you're craving Asian food, this place will not disappoint. read more

I remember my college days. Many meals taste great after a certain proper "pre-meal activity." I believe most of these 5 star reviews might reflect this. The Lo Mein was simply some pasty spaghetti noodles and the Sesame Chicken wasn't much better. I guess the proper "appetizer" was needed to rate this meal higher..."higher!" read more

I usually like giving mean reviews of places I'm not too fond of but I am doing an about face on this one. Hibachi Express is an ideal restaurant for those who like cheap fast Japanese food. My daughter's have developed a bizarre epicurean palette that consists of much "hibachi" type restaurants. This would be OK if it weren't so high. Here in eastern KY you are often out far more than $100 just to feed your ravenous family. SCREW THAT! My nurse wife told me of this little place that delivered to her place of work that was much cheaper than most Japanese places. The seating inside is very limiting. Much like a papa Johns. Yea you could eat here if you don't mind plastic cutlery, Styrofoam to-go boxes and cramped quarters. Not a good place to take a first-time date but ideal to take a family that barely tolerates you. I had my usually, chicken and steak. It was good. Not overly glutinous in the serving portions. The steak was slightly over cooked for a "medium". That's what I get for ordering extra medium. My wife and mom-n-law (mama) seemed to enjoy their meals (steak and shrimp). I will order the filet mignon and chicken next time because it was only $1 more than what I got. I'm not sure how my daughter's felt about their meals. The older one loves and requests the jap food all the time. I think she just likes wasting money and fancier eating establishments. My younger daughter probably hated it because she is more punk than her sister and hates everything. We also got the "clear soup." It was cheap and we hoped it would be similar to that "clear 'soupish' stuff they serve us at our favorite Hibachi establishment. That was the original Huntington establishment. I don't like being mandated that I must tip 15%. I'm not impressed by Asian guys twirling spatulas and throwing food in my mouth. One time I had one throw me a shrimp and it landed square on my eyeball. I'm not tipping 15% for the privilege of losing an eye from a grilled morsel. Back on point. The clear soup appeared to be the same as the other. It deserves a better name. Their spring rolls weren't as good as mama's but they weren't bad either. The kicker: I treated my family to a rather satiating Japanese meal for approximately $50 less than what I'm usually on the hook for. I will be back. read more

They have a hard time following specific directions I told them I'm allergic to broccoli and to put mushrooms in my order . They did the opposite and course don't answer phone when called to correct situation Foods great but service sucks read more

For what some people call "gas station hibachi" couldn't be farther from the truth. The food is decently priced, and always comes in great portion sizes. For being in a small college town I would say it is one of the most popular take out places in Morehead. read more

The location may deceive you as it is attached to a gas station. I've eaten here on numerous occasions and have yet to be disappointed with anything from the sushi to the hibachi. This is exactly what it states hibachi express so order and within 20 minutes your meal will be ready. If you're looking for the sit down and family dining experience there's a Japanese steakhouse not too far. read more

Let's face it, you've found yourself in Morehead which is not exactly the culinary hotspot of America. However, you're hungry and you want something cheap, fast, and Asian. Well, this would be my go to place. It's not a standalone restaurant, in fact it's actually attached to a Valero gas station. However what you will find is your typical hibachi fare at reasonable prices. Is it the best food you've ever had? No. But understanding where you are and the portions that you receive, this is a solid place in Morehead. I've been here multiple times and my recommendations would be the dumpling appetizer and the hibachi chicken dinner entrée. Oh, don't forget to get extra yum yum sauce while you're here. read more

When I first came to Morehead as a freshman in college, I didn't think eating food from a gas station restaurant was a good idea...But it was probably one of the best decisions from college. Crab rangoon and chicken hibachi are great. I would highly recommend Hibachi Express to anyone who loves Asian-American food. read more
