    This place is definitely a hidden gem! I wasn't expecting much based on the appearance of the store. I visited this place on a Saturday evening. They were really busy but the staffs were able to handle the phone orders and walk-in orders in a jiffy. I order the special family dinner - D1 which comes with 2 pops, 4 spring rolls, teriyaki chicken, steak and shrimp and miso soup for $24.99. My order arrived pretty quick and the portion size was more than enough for two people. For the price and portion size, I think it's definitely worth it. It reminds me of a upscale food court vibe. I will be coming back and trying other food items on the menu! I can't wait. Note: there are no seatings inside so make sure you find another spot to enjoy your food. Also, they only take cash or debit.

    Chicken skewers, beef skewers, spring rolls and what should have been a vegetables consisting of zucchini, carrots, and onions .

    We ordered the lunch special for $7.99 which includes selected entree, drink, and vegatables (zucchini, onions and carrots) I was disappointed by the meal this time. 99% onions. Who eats this many onions? No one! The owners were either bring cheap or trying to get rid of onions. Either way I won't likely return. We ordered the chicken teriyaki and chicken and beef skewer combo. Meat flavour is good but when factoring in portion size and the onions, I'll pass.

    Hibachi beef short ribs

    4/5 stars. This is the place to go to if you're looking for decently priced, decently portioned Chinese fast food. Honestly didn't know what to expect given the name. I really thought a teppanyaki place but it's more like a fast food Chinese place. While the menu may seem limited in selection the dishes we ordered were pretty good. I got the short rib with rice (no veggies) and Steak/shrimp rice combo. The hibachi short ribs ($13.50) are amazing. It was so tender and flavourful. And there's a decent portion that you get for the price you pay. It also came with like a sweet beef kinda sauce? That was nice and tasty. The rice seemed to be a soy sauce fried rice. Nicely well done and not too oily. The steak and shrimp combo ($13.30) was lacking a bit of flavour, but it came with a aioli type sauce and hot sauce. Same rice and the vegetables were aplenty. Carrot, broccoli, onion and mushroom, all slightly sautéed in butter. The lady was extremely pleasant and the customer service was good. I look forward to coming back here again.

    Great food! Yummy sauce! First time there and friendly service. Great portion size for price. Will definitely be returning!

    Yes!! If you are in the area, this is the place to go for some amazing food! It looks small and the plaza looks really non engaging but I always say, never judge a gem by where it's buried! ;) The staff here are the friendliest people ever. Happy people making happy food! The price is amazing and the portions are fantastic! They make it all to order so your food is always fresh off the flat grill and they have a variety of sauces too like the yum yum sauce! My top recommending is the short ribs. You should see how much comes with an order!! Delicious to the last bite :) the rice is a Japanese style rice that tastes and feels very unique. Simple yet very flavorful. I really appreciate that everything is not full of sodium so you can actually taste the food for how it should taste. Give it a try! Sit in or grab some take out! Absolutely worth it. This is our go to spot for the weekends

    Shrimp and squid combo
    Amy W.

    I wanted to check out Hibachi Grill since yesterday. The second I walked in, the owners were so warm, friendly and welcoming. We asked them to recommend which dish is good, they recommended short ribs and squid. So I ordered the squid and shrimp combo. Food: Extremely good portion. They made there own yum yum sauce and it was just as yum yum as it sounds! The squid, they gave us like a full squid to go with my shrimp. The flavour were good and ingredients was fresh. It is definitely comparable to teppanyaki at restaurants. Seating 3-4 tables, it is more for take out. But you can sit there. Overall, a very good first experience. You can tell that the owner put his hearts to it. Definitely worth a try if you are out in the area.

    Spicy Chicken
    Rakash S.

    Have come to Hibachi Grill on a number of occasions, never disappointed. Consistent quality of food, great service. Great lunch special if you are able to catch it during the time slot. Regardless the regular menu consists of a variety of items. Good selection of protein is available from your typical beef, pork, chicken to seafood. My order is usually the Spicy Chicken. Well flavored meat with adequate portion size to complement the bed of soft rice and grilled veggies. On top of that the sauce ..... The sauce ...... YumYum sauce, I don't know what it is but its appropriately named. Hot sauce, good kick. Teriyaki sauce never hurts to drizzle on. Add to your heart's content. I normally don't care about service at fast food locations but in the case, the owner and the family must be highlighted. Great people, down to earth. Always ready to serve great food. Would recommend and obviously going again. 5/5

    This has become one of my go-to places. The food is always so fresh, portions are large, and the family that owns the place is always so welcoming and helpful. Their KBBQ, steak, shrimp, chicken and squid is just so good!!! I usually get it with the rice, and top it off with that yum yum sauce. Not sure what that sauce consists of but it's so addicting! This seems to be one of Pickering's hidden gems. From food to customer service, it's no wonder this place is a hit! I usually call in and place my order, and the food is ready in 15-20 mins that way I can just grab it to go. The restaurant itself isn't the biggest, and can can sometimes get warm, especially in the summer. Food tastes great even after a drive home.

    Hibachi Grill is a little shop further east in Pickering. It is a family owned business and let me tell you, there food is amazing! I would definitely say it is worth the travel to get some delicious grilled food. There is something about how they grill their food and the sauces they have to add extra flavour. If you are there, ask for the YUM YUM sauce. I have no idea what ingredients make up this sauce, but it is outstanding. I had the spicy chicken and shrimp and my bf had the chicken and steak. Both with fried rice and vegetables and spring rolls. I would definitely choose either one of these combos again. It was so cute seeing a little girl, whom I'm assuming is the daughter of the owner, serve us. She was very polite and informative of what my options are in the menu. I would highly recommend this little restaurant for food on the go and dine in. Definitely my go to place when in Pickering!

    Lunch special beef with onion
    Connie L.

    I love this place for casual lunch. They have lunch special (even on the weekends) that's cheap and comes with lots of food. Service is amazing and the diner is little and clean. I'll come back again soon. P.s the white sauce is amazing. Try it on meat or rice.

    Steak. Chicken. Shrimp = Delicious

Albeit a lot of meat for what it's worth, but when you're a vegetarian that ain't really a selling point. Picking it all out was a nightmare. We found the portions and price very generous, we were even given a free serving of meat for the size of the order, everything was fresh but most of the dishes we got were in a crazy amount of sauce where you wouldn't really expect any sauce or a very little like the Thai basil stir fried veggies and tofu, it was drenched in a big puddle of sauce.

    Tip: This restaurant is on Skip the Dishes…read more Yesterday, I was in Pickering. I wanted to grab some takeout for dinner before heading home. Skip the Dishes had a discount code. If I spent $30 on an order, I'd get 50% off. Sweet! I found Dragon Gem. I looked at the menu. Whenever I see ho fun on the menu, I have to get it. My order consisted of these items: - Beef ho fun - Large wonton soup I got an estimated time of ten minutes for my order to be ready. I thought that it was a mistake. It made sense when I got to the restaurant. I needed ten minutes to drive over here. It's in a plaza that I have frequented before. It has a Rexall that I shopped at in the past. I had no problem finding a parking spot near this restaurant. I backed into an available spot and walked in. I have never seen so many folks in a kitchen! I'd guess that there were eight folks making food and packing up orders. Wow! I got the nicest woman. I rattled off the last four numbers of my Skip the Dishes order. She found it and my name on the order. Yay! She handed me my food in a paper bag with a plastic bag around it. I thanked her and left. Everything was packed well. No leakage. My food and soup were still hot when I got home with it. I looked forward to chowing down. I started with the wonton soup. The broth was perfect. It was clear and had a touch of salt that I liked. There were many wontons that had flavourful pork filling. Each wonton was softer than expected, but it was nice not to exert much effort chewing it. It had sliced barbeque pork in it. So good! I got crunchy sticks. I've never been a fan of them, so I didn't put them in my soup. I loved the beef ho fun. It was perfect. It had lots of tender beef slices. The rice noodles (ho fun) were so good. They were stir-fried and tasted amazing. My dish had sliced onions and bean sprouts in every bite. The portion size was generous. Excellent food! I'd return for more when I'm in the area. (54)

There are several consecutive one-star reviews. The most recent review, although favourable, was from two years ago! With several competing restaurants in the area, I can't give them another chance.

The chilli chicken with gravy was very good and chicken was tender and gravy had the right amount of seasoning. The spicy pepper chicken dry was a bit disappointing. Some of the pieces of chicken were overcooked and hard to chew. Overall, the food is decent and maybe I will stay away from dry dishes and stick to the saucy ones.
