I give it 3 stars because i do like it, their sushi is good. But i CANT STAND the screaming waitress. She communicates with the kitchen all the way from dining room sometimes. So damn loud and annoying. Hard to enjoy your meal with this women screaming across room. Other employees just roll their eyes. She needs a new job at an amusement park. read more

I haven't been to a hibachi place in years, mainly because I felt the ones I went to were just okay, until my lady wanted to bring me here. And honestly, this was the best hibachi experience I've ever had. The service was great, the food was very well cooked and filling, and our hibachi cook was pretty entertaining. We went on a Sunday afternoon to meet with a friend of my lady who's a big fan of the place. The place itself isn't huge, but has two main sections, one is for general dining with a bar area as well, and the other is the hibachi area. Their menu has lots of different options to choose from, including stir frys and specialty dishes and sushi. Of course, we were all about the hibachi. You can choose a single protein or get a combo for a little more. I opted for the steak and shrimp, my lady got the chicken and scallops, and her friend got the chicken and steak. Our hibachi master was excellent and definitely knew his stuff. He cooked all of our food perfectly and really put on a good show. If you're adventurous and a little daring (and legal drinking age), ask your hibachi master for a shot of saki... But be prepared to catch it in your mouth. I never thought I'd say this about any hibachi place, but this is now my favorite, and the price is very nice too. You absolutely will NOT leave here still hungry. I know I didn't! read more

My friend at work raves about this place. She dines in at least twice a month. Since they were open for lunch, me and my friends from work wanted to try it. I looked at the pricing for both lunch and dinner and they are much cheaper than most Hibachi restaurants. My friend also tells me they give you a good amount of food, especially the rice. The inside is very small but clean and open. There is a sushi bar and if you don't want Hibachi, there are tables for you to order from the menu. I opted for the Hibachi lunch combo. Fried rice with extra egg. Proteins- Scallops and Shrimp. You get a side salad (ginger dressing) and soup. You get veggies but I just wanted mushrooms. I wanted to pair a glass of sake with it. When our cook came out. He was so energetic and very friendly. Jay was entertaining and got our table yelling. Lots of flames so sit back and enjoy! If you volunteer, he will offer to squirt sake in your mouth. Which my friends picked me since I recently had a birthday. It was so much fun! He also threw fried egg and I had to catch it with my mouth. I caught the sake but not the egg. The food was amazing! He kept piling the rice and also gave me some steak and chicken! Everything was perfect. Only $26.00 dollars for all of that?! Definitely left a generous tip. What an awesome experience and I can't wait to take my Mr. here because I know he will enjoy it too! Highly recommend this restaurant, especially for hibachi and the price! read more

Went here for the first time for a Valentine's Day lunch with my husband. Service was pretty good, but we were disappointed with the food in general. The special dragon roll had a very sweet sauce over top (almost like teriyaki) and then we felt the shrimp and scallop combo was small, especially the amount of fried rice we got. read more

I would give this location a 9/10. The food was amazing but the vibes were off, very quiet restaurant despite being busy....maybe that was because everyone was enjoying their delicious food! I got the hibachi lunch (chicken fried rice with miso soup and the ginger salad). I will be coming back! read more

Hibachi Master - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I ordered a sushi roll that was not at all as described and when I asked for something different they told me they would still have to charge me for the food they made that wasn't described correctly. I talked to the manager and he only offered half off. I had to pay half the money for them to throw the gross food away. Will never return again. Horrible customer service all the way around. read more

We used to be regulars for hibachi. Especially lunch, it was a good deal. A couple of months ago, we went in for lunch. They seated us at the hibachi and never came back. After 40 minutes, I went up to the counter to ask what the delay was. The woman working there had a total meltdown and started screaming at me, then went into the other room and started screaming at my wife who was still seated. She told us to leave, but just then someone else came out and took over. We will never go back. read more

Hibachi Master - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Great experience! Our Chef was Aldi & he was amazing! So fun & he could sing too! Made the experience amazing. Food was delicious!!

Hibachi Master was a good time. The chicken fried rice was good, the shrimp dumplings were awesome, and the miso soup was hot, yet savory. They gave you so much food. I came here starving and came home with a portion of my food in a box. Not disappointed. 5 stars, would come again. read more

Absolutely fantastic experience. I don't know why this place has 3.5 stars, the hibachi is fantastic, the chefs are super fun, the quality and quantity is stellar. Went for the lunch hibachi on a Saturday, not crowded at all. They give you SO MUCH FOOD. Overall I think this place is 10/10 and underrated. I'll be back! read more

Great food and staff. Parties are always fun! If it's a weekend make sure to call ahead.

Ordered a $20 plate of the chicken katsu. Breading was awful. Was falling off barely touching it, flavorless, chicken was flavorless, dry. Sauces lack in flavor too. The yum sauce was weird compared to other hibachi places. I thought the teriyaki was weird too. I was offered a 30% discount for the 3 bites I took, evidently they deserve reward for cooking a bad dish. The ginger dressing for the salad was good. So if you want a good tasting ginger dressing go here but for anything else I can't recommend this over any other hibachi place. read more

It's decent value. Feels a little bit like a poor man's Benihana. The hibachi meals are good (less butter in the rice than Benihana... no! Lol) and the sushi rolls are fine, but I don't get terribly excited. Also, if there are more than a handful of diners, they can be slower than you might find at Benihana or Fuji Steakhouse (Eastgate). Still, for convenience more than anything, we probably go to Hibachi Master as much as Fuji Steakhouse. It's just so close to the house. read more

As we all know, the law requires good Asian restaurants to be in strip malls. This one fits the bill. I can't speak for the rest of the menu, but my goodness is their chicken hibachi delicious. They put a slight char and grill flavor on the zucchini and chicken that elevates it far beyond normal hibachi. The veggies are all perfectly tender still. I don't know that their sauces are anything special, but the execution is so perfect that it doesn't matter. I drive 25 minutes to get here now because no other restaurant produces hibachi like this in the area. Highly recommended. read more

Food is great and the service is always friendly. We are always content when we dine at Hibachi Master. The only feedback I would give is that they tend to overload themselves on reservations and the wait always seems to be quite a bit longer than promised - but that's something that can easily be corrected. read more

Love this place! Best veggie sushi in town. Only downside is you can't eat in since Covid. Drive thru only.

Terrible service! horrible service! the owner is a rude nasty person. I ordered noodles that came with onions that wasn't listed on the menu. I am allergic to onions. When I noticed that it was covered in onions. I asked the server if I could order something else. The owner came out from the back and told me that I would have to pay for another meal. I told him that I didn't understand why I would have to pay for another meal if I didn't eat the first one. I told him he could check the cameras. But it was clear that I didn't eat that plate of food. He started yelling and stating that, " you want free food". Mind you no one said anything about getting free food. I just wanted to re-order a replacement that I could eat that would send me to the hospital. He said he could discount the $16.00 plate for half off. I told him no, that I didn't not feel comfortable paying for food I didn't eat. And that I was NOT GOING TO ORDER ADDITIONAL PLATE AND PAY FOR THAT IN ON TOP of that. He ended up calling the police. And the police told him that this wouldn't go anywhere in court. And the judge would very upset to even review the case. I ended up just paying for the plate. And the officers that came apologize to me even know they didn't do anything wrong. And stated that you should never have to pay for food that you didn't even eat. And that they multiple calls to this restaurant for VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. All I have to say that this is horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible service and the owner of this restaurant shouldn't even own a restaurant with this type of attitude. They only care about the money your "experience or health does not matter". I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE! EAT HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK! read more

Honestly have never had a bad experience the past two times I've come here. Definitely come on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday night to get half off sushi rolls. Everything we've had here has been delicious and fresh, hot saki very tasty as well. Staff could be slightly more friendly but overall it's solid food! read more

The food is good, the hibachi chefs are fun and sweet. The service, not so much. However, this is only from one server. She is a shorter Asian woman with a thick accent, and she is the meanest and most miserable server we have ever had. We have spent over 400 dollars at Hibachi Master in the last couple of months. We sit at the hibachi and drink quite a bit, we love to have a good time here. We always tip the hibachi cook cash and we always tip over 20% to our servers. Our checks get racked up and as former servers ourselves, we treat waitstaff very kindly. There is no reason for this woman to be so atrociously rude. When we went a few days ago we had our friends from out of town with us. We were excited to show them our favorite spot to eat out and have a good time. Our friends are vegan, and they decided not to eat anything from the hibachi because they didn't want to irritate the cook by requesting no eggs, butter, etc. When they told the server they wouldn't be eating from the hibachi and were ordering sushi and appetizers instead, she paused, rolled her eyes and said "So, you're not going to eat from the hibachi?" and our friends said no. She then sighed dramatically and muttered something in her native language. (Likely talking about us) I had also ordered a shot of Captain and she brought me Captain on the rocks. I was very polite and told her I had just wanted a straight shot. She, again, rolled her eyes and stormed off. Inside the glass was clearly the same Captain with the ice strained out. It was extremely watered down, and chilled now. I wanted a straight shot. The fact that she probably spitefully strained out the ice and felt like she was getting me back for our friends lack of ordering from the hibachi is infuriating. Aside from this, she never returned. We didn't get another drink, any refills, nobody pre-bussed our tabletops. Prior to this last experience, the time before we had this same server and my fiancé and his friend were ordering sake bombs. This clearly infuriated her because she gave them attitude again, and she also, never returned that time either. This woman is just awfully mean and really shouldn't be working on the floor. We have decided that we will never go back based on that server alone. This is a shame because we love to support small business and we spend a ton of money there when we do go. This isn't a threat to try to get something from Hibachi Master, this is just honest criticism. We are now on a search for a new hibachi and sushi spot. read more

Love the amazing food and i recommend the food and the customer service the best drink in my opinion is the strawberry marble drinks read more

Hibachi Master - a kitchen island in a restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Fresh food, friendly Hibachi employees. Never disappointed. To go orders are always accurate and food quality is top notch.

old mother here for dinner on Sunday evening while visiting the area. She loves Japanese food. She ordered the hibachi chicken. When the food arrived she started eating it and stated that her chicken was rubbery, like it was undercooked. My food seemed to be okay. When the gentleman came to our table I mentioned the issue with my mother's food. He stated that there was nothing that he could do, and that orders can only be canceled before they come off of the grill. What a way ti treat the elderly of the world! read more

Just had supper here with my fiance, and it was wonderful! We had the hibachi dinner for two, scallops, lobster, shrimp, filet mignon and veggies. Also came with soup, salad and rice. It was delicious! Or service was perfect, will absolutely be returning. Price was perfect for the quality and amount. I'm not a sushi fan, but their display and selection looked amazing. Also ordered a seven and seven, was made just right. My fiance and I were very pleased with every aspect of our early dinner. Very nice inside,comfy and welcoming dining room. I'm going to plan to return at the end of the month for fiance's birthday and have the hibachi table experience, our server highly recommended it, and we are def looking forward to it. Was a perfect lunch/dinner. read more

I came here with my daughter she loves the hibachi grill restaurants and they refused to serve us because she would be ordering a child's meal. We left the restaurant with her crying and in tears. Not a family/ child friendly restaurant. read more

Friendly staff, great sushi and great hibachi. Reasonable pricing. Great location off 125 beechmont Ave.

My son wanted sushi for his birthday dinner and we tried this place on a recommendation. I wasn't thrilled about it when I saw the "Luciferian" symbol on the outside of the building (c'mon guys, really? It's a restaurant, not a death metal show). Anyway, the service was a disappointment, we had a party of five. They do not wait for everyone's food to be served at the same time, they kept bringing out our dishes at separate times, making us feel awkward to eat while others did not have food. They did this with appetizers and also with our dinner. My husband ordered hibachi steak medium rare, it came out looking grey throughout. He could not eat it. The waitress did discount the meal, but I thought it should have been comped seeing how he did not eat it. The rest of us had a good meal, but no one was impressed. There was nothing memorable about the meal, I can not say I will go again. read more

We just placed and picked up an order for chicken teriyaki and steak teriyaki. I forgot to take a photo but it would have been the picture of perfection. It's just what this pregnant woman needed. Our cats are trying to fight us to get a bite of this heaven. So glad we ate from here tonight! read more

Good food for the price during regular times, but make plans to wait on any holiday even if ordering online or going in to dine. They will tell you "20-30" mins but it will sometimes be two or more hours so be prepared to wait. read more

Great experience here, maybe one of my favorite hibachis! If you are going for Hibachi we hands down recommend "sexy Sam." We came for a birthday with a group, we laughed, we sang, we ate. It was like dinner meets karaoke, plus a side comedy show. The food was delicious as well! read more

Hibachi Master - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I really wanted to love this place because The Samuri/Benihana's downtown was my favorite - but I didn't. Carryout-- The salad had lots of water in the bottom like they didn't drain it before putting in the box and the dressing was bland. Actually the entire meal of hibachi chicken, soup & sushi rolls were bland. No flavor, no spice and the chicken and steak was dry, like they had cooked it long before I ordered. The sauces didn't help with the flavor either. An expensive blah dinner. read more

This is a very fun place to eat. The hibachi is entertaining and the food is good. Service is always very quick.

Horrible place. Stopped by for hibachi after work, just by myself. Typically very easy to add 1 person on to a hibachi table. Just had to wait for some more people to arrive. Totally understandable - I'm patient. I arrived at 5:50pm. Not a single person walked through the doors, so I left at 6:20pm. One of the employees even sent her child over to play with me...what!? So many questions. I followed the context clues and left. Normally places like this are full by 6:30pm. Clearly something is wrong with this place. Avoid! read more

We ordered the pork and chicken katsu. On the menu it states you get salad, soup, rice and vegetables. Our meats came served on lettuce. The same lettuce that is the salad. Also we ordered sushi that our server forgot to ever bring out to us. Everything that we did eat was very mediocre tasting. The chicken katsu was like a crappy chicken nugget and the pork katsu was like a bad pork tenderloin... on lettuce. Management was dumbfounded when we brought up the photo on the menu had actual vegetables and they told us that is the wrong photo. On top of all of this they were VERY slow we were there for an hour. I do not recommend wasting money or time here. read more

Really delicious! The rock shrimp was delicious. Lost a star, because our server was rushing us and clearly didn't want to be at work. I get it. But I would have ordered more stuff read more

This is my go to carry out now. Quality is always excellent, fresh, hot and hibachi grilled flavor puts it above all others. I get the tofu vegetables. So good and the spring and egg rolls are amazing! I've never been disappointed by a meal from here. Kudos! read more

I got the Jake Maki Roll, my wife got the Volcano Roll. My roll was delicious, however my wife's roll was not fried. I don't think I've ever had a Volcano Roll that wasn't fried, or with cream cheese, it was strange. Their half price menu was limited, which was a bummer, about 1/4 of their rolls. Appetizer was good. We got the Shrimp Shumai, it was pretty good. I would come here again, I guess. There's a lot better options though if I'm willing to drive an extra 15 minutes. read more
