Chicken with teriyaki sauce
Billy L.

We went here for my son's fiancé celebration of her birthday. What a fun time we had - and the food was amazing over the top! We all got the hibachi entrees and it comes with noodles, vegetables, rice, salad and soup. Plenty of food for sure!! I got the shrimp dinner and then you get to pick the type of rice (fried or steamed) and (white or brown). Finally you pick your seasoning. Hibachi, teriyaki or spicy. We all got spicy except for the individual who got the chicken and he got teriyaki and said his meal was delicious. Other people in our group got the shrimp and lobster, steak and shrimp and some just shrimp like me. It was fun and our chef was Chao and he was a blast. I can't wait to go back!

This is probably the second time we visited Hibachi House, the first was many years ago, but I enjoy this spot. We made reservations, which is recommended, the last time we ended up waiting an hour, but this time they actually did have spots pretty quickly for walk-ins. While, yes, it is just your typical hibachi place, it is still pretty solid. The staff was nice. The space is pretty small, just a narrow restaurant with what seems like a bar at the bottom on the stairs. I ordered their Toyoko rose drink, it was very floral and fruity at the same time, but pretty tasty. I did enjoy the salad. My husband felt he did not get enough dressing, but mine was fine. I like that they used field greens instead of the white average lettuce, but I enjoy both kinds of salads. They had miso soup, I would have liked more tofu, but still nice and salty in a good way. We both ordered the chicken but I also got a side of kani with spicy mayo, which was so good, and very worth it. On this visit, we got a nice large portion which lasted two meals, very worth it for me. I enjoyed their fried rice and noodles. We had the ginger sauce and the yummy sauce. I also got a strawberry drink, which was not as good as the first, but I like that they have some fun mixed drinks to try here. Overall a really good time, we laughed and had fun. I hope to visit again soon.

Such a fun and delicious birthday experience!! I have been coming to Hibachi House since they opened. I have to say that this visit was the best one yet. The service was fast and attentive. The waitresses checked in often and the hibachi chef came out quickly. The restaurant was clean and dimly lit for an evening of entertainment. Not only was the service great, but the food was incredible!! We got the hibachi and teriyakis chicken with fried rice. These entrees come with tons of food-- soup and salad, vegetables, and noodles. It is the most fun food experience we've had on a date!!

The salad dressing is really delicious

Came in for a girls night and had a good time. Starts with an appetizer and 2 sushi rolls. Ordered the chicken, steak and shrimp hibachi dinner and had a cocktail also. It was a very busy night, so the sushi rolls ended up coming after our dinner was made, so I ended up taking them home. The fried rice and noodles were just okay, but enjoyed the rest of the meal. Parking is street parking and there are meters along the street and behind the restaurant. Word of caution...the floor can be slippery when you walk in. Our friend fell in the hallway and ended up spraining her wrist and knee from the fall. Overall, not a bad hibachi experience food wise. Pretty on point with the other hibachi places around, but I will say the salad dressing was really flavorful and so was the miso soup!

A beautiful awesome day amazing people of the world. We are suddenly in the mood for some Hibachi. So yea, here we are at the Hibachi House in Rochester, MI. Lets begin shall we. First to arrive is the Miso Soup. Good flavor, nothing is a miss. Taste just like how miso soup should taste like. 7.2/10 The salad, pretty good as well. The Ginger Sesame dressing is tasty. Salad mix was nice. Tastes just like any other hibachi salad, 7.2/10 as well. Fried rice, a bit underwhelming. It's bland, a bit lacking on the Veggie and Egg department. 6.5/10 The noods were the same story as well. Needs improvement. More veg, and more flavor as well please. 6.5/10 The veggies, i enjoyed it. Did we mention I'm partial to vegetables? Texture was great, not mushy. Stands up by itself. 7.4/10 The steak comes and they're a little over done. As you can see on the video, there's no pink to be seen anywhere. Flavor is great though. 7.5/10 The shrimp and scallops were at least the strongest of the whole course. The scallops were done perfectly. So were the shrimp. If you've had over done sea food before, I believe you'd know what I'm talking about. 8/10 The restaurant is pretty nice. The hostesses were nicely accommodating. Our server was very attentive. The hibachi chef did his thing. He's great with the seafood and the vegetables. If you've every made it to this restaurant, do give it a proper go and let me know what you think Listen, hit that follow for more food and travel content. Share this review with a smash mode buddy and thank you so much for watching. I love you. Mwah!!!

I came to the Hibachi House for dinner with my family. I was visiting from New York. This is the second time we have come here for dinner, we love it so much. This place is very busy but I was impressed by how efficient they are. We ordered drinks, appetizers, and dinners. All the food came out in a timely manner and everything was absolutely delicious. We were 5 people and the bill came out to be about $250 with tip. We ordered a lot of stuff including alcoholic drinks. I thought the price was reasonable. We will definitely come here again!

Lots of fried rice, but soooo much oil.

My daughter needed dinner before an evening dance class. I suggested Shogun since we were close by, only to discover the Livernois location was closed! But now that she had hibachi on the brain she refused all other options. I had to follow through. We went to Hibachi House which is a sister restaurant to Sumo, which we much enjoy. Indeed the decor inside is similar. We were seated and waited patiently for our turn with the hibachi chef. She ordered the kids shrimp with miso soup. I had the adult steak and scallops. The dinner performance was typical of a normal hibachi restaurant. Onion volcano, knife twirling, and flames. This chef tossed egg versus shrimp for people to try and catch with their mouth. It wasn't quite the same. The meal and service was fine, but it was so heavy on oil that it overwhelmed other flavors, and the downtown Rochester price point was crazy high. It was basically the same kind of mid-level Shogun quality at a much higher rate. I give it 3.6 that rounds to a generous 4.

Solid 3.5 stars. They didn't have a spot for us when we showed up, so we went to the bar downstairs. The bartender poured a strong drink, but I thought it was a little tacky that they served my husband his pop in a plastic cup. When we're dropping over $60 on drinks I expect glass. Food was good, but not the most amazing hibachi we've had. Also our chef didn't do as many tricks as the other chef was doing, so we were a little underwhelmed w what we consider the show portion of the dinner.

They forgot my rice but it was still delicious (steak and shrimp)

I went here for the first time, celebrating a coworker's birthday. I'm glad I made a reservation, but I wish I knew to ask for any table BUT the one closest to the front door. It was quite chilly each time the door was opened. Bathroom was clean and the water was warm, which was helpful in warming me up. Soup and salad were meh. Not terrible but nothing special. Not much "Wow" factor for chef performance. The least exciting I've ever experienced. My meal was delicious, despite not being given rice until I was almost done. Everyone in my party requested fried rice, while I asked for white rice so I was surprised to have been forgotten about since I figured it was easier. I guess not. I did appreciate how often my water was refilled! And staff were all pleasant. Since I had never been here before I asked if they did anything for birthdays. The employee said she would send a slice of deep fried cheesecake to my coworker. That was kind, and appreciated (even though I was willing to pay), until not even a minute later an employee comes with another slice, with a candle in it, and sang to someone else at our table (not in our party). It was only slightly awkward that my coworker didn't get the same treatment. It was fine, but there are many other options.

Early dinner. We were added at the end of a family of 5. Ordered lobster roll, lobster delight roll, spicy scallops added Kani crab with a up charge for the fried rice, a hot spicy chicken with an up charge for the fried rice. The lobster roll was okay, not special. The lobster delight roll was yummy. The miso was decent. The house salad was so-so. The fried rice was small, used to getting a bowl of it. The fried rice tastes decent. Not worth the $3 up charge for the little bit you get. The noodles aren't for me at all. The chicken was dry and way over cooked, not good. I wanted to spit out the one piece I tried even. The kani crab is the fake crab stick in butter and fried on the hibachi grill, wasn't what I was hoping for at all. Definitely not worth the $2 at all. The scallops were cooked nicely, just gritty is all. $92.75 for dinner tonight. The scallops and lobster delight was the better part of our entire meal.

After the chef makes his volcano, he has to ask his friend to put the fire out... sure to be a crowd favorite among kids big and small

We had an outstanding experience here for dinner with a group of 7. The food and drinks were excellent, and out chef was entertaining. I highly recommend reservations and planning ahead. Parking is on Rochester or behind the restaurant on an adjacent street. It was crowded, so a reservation is critical. Each Teppanyaki "table" seats up to 10 people comfortably, there were 9 of us at our table with plenty of room. The chef was personable and catered his show to the kids, and they loved it. Portions were massive, the noodles and the scallops were memorable. I really enjoyed my drink (house specialty old fashioned), as did the rest of the group. Overall, our experience was very good. Lots of fun, great for groups and families. I will definitely eat here again

We've been wanting to try Hibachi House for a while but there was always a long wait. Today we planned ahead and made reservations! Solid 3.5 stars. We were seated near the back and the waitress took our drink orders straight away. I got a glass of Malbec and my wife Riesling. Both were nice. She ordered her standard steak and chicken and I went for filet and scallops. The chef was mildly entertaining, but I think he realized that all parties were engaged in conversation, so he just dove in and started cooking. Both of our steaks were cooked perfectly, as were my scallops. My wife's chicken was a little dry. The rice, noodles and veggies were all good but we both thought the rice could have used a little more soy sauce. It was a typical hibachi so it was loud, but we were able to carry on a conversation without issue. Overall, we liked it and will go back.

Miso Soup!
Khushi j.

So, the food was amazing with the price and everything it was really worth it. But what was not ethical and impressive was how the waiters come in and then have you wait for even order for yourself. Also we waited for rice forever for the steamed rice and at the end we had to ask them where is it and then they brought. It was an okay experience:-(

If you're looking for a traditional dimly lit chop house that might make you feel you're in a national park somewhere, not easily found, then this is the place for you. Chop House Platter Nothing to write home about here. Calamari uninspiring and the shrimp isn't fresh French onion soup crock Roasted onion stock, Sherry, wine, house baked croutons, melted cheese. Portion is more than a cup - well prepared and salty. Sharing this might be better for portion control. Lobster & Shrimp Mac and Cheese Fantastic flavors here make it devilishly good. You might have to fight for the lobster bits. Keeps very well. Bourbon infused dry aged 14oz Ribeye Okay this is where the volume goes up - listen here... I first thought the plate had way too much oil drenching the steak but then I realized that's part of the local bourbon-infused magic that makes this steak "the best in the house" per our server. And when that first bite hit my palate, several thoughts crossed my mind: 1) mouth watering savoriness 2) medium rare supple texture 3) aged barrel vanilla and chocolate 4) subtle smoke Hands down, one of the best steaks I have ever consumed. The uniqueness of the wood flavors and aromas combined with the natural rib eye fattiness forces you to take a step back and think about what's in your mouth. I would make a special trip to come back for just this steak. Some of the other menu items are not anywhere as impressive. Although I didn't taste, the consensus at my table was that the summer berry salad was over dressed and too tart. Wine list average, at best. The bourbon steak is so good that by itself, it elevates this review about 1.5 stars. That's all....

They will only make the cheapest entree you buy be free even if it is not the entree that was ordered by the cardholder who is celebrating their birthday. Not the end of the world but it would be nice to have that communicated upfront before you order.

I told her we were waiting for the read for a long time and that we havent seen the waiter since he took our order. He never came when the food came. Just as we said that he walked over and said oh Im getting the bread. They said the bread was taking a while. As he said that, the manager brought the table next to us some bread. Then the waitress brought some for her new table. We waited again. She ended up giving us her bread and then got new bred. He finally came with the bill and said oh did you want dessert? We obviously didn't as we didn't even see him the whole time. He took forever to bring us the change. This is the second time that the service has not been great. The food is great and tastes great. The restaurant is nice and clean and I like the atmosphere. I just feel like paying $72 for this service wasn't great.

I am in the food industry so I know how things work from serving, bar tending, and the kitchen. There are somethings that are beyond one person control. BUT, the constant control lives with the server. First came the drink order. Easy enough, Vodka martini, no vermouth, said it twice, just a glass of vodka. I came with double vermouth, ok easily fixed. Told the waitress, she fixed. Next was food order, Prime Rib medium well. It came to the table rare. No problem, as soon as she placed it down I said it was the wrong temp. Here is where it falls on the waitress....she went to the pass and told the cook that I ordered medium and "he is sending it back" (I was in line of sight of the pass and heard everything). So my Prime Rib came back microwaved, completely dead. "Here ya go" turned on her heals and walked away. So as consumer you start to doubt yourself, did I order it wrong, was it my fault? So she brought the check and I asked her to take the plate and she said "what's wrong, I thought you wanted it medium well, can I get you something else?". Nope! The I remembered...they write everything down. So when she brought the check, I asked to see the order that she wrote, she thumbed though the tickets and stopped. Oh I thought you said medium, I must have not heard medium well. Then she asked for my name and the person I was with, which was weird. Any way, long story, I would rather go to Georges Coney Island, who I worked for at Winchester Mall, than to go back to the Golden Eagle.
