after a grueling school semester, my friends and i decided to go to hiro for celebration. However, when we were seated, we were never introduced to a waiter. This lasted for 30 minutes, so we decided to leave. All we wanted was to celebrate but the service was so god awful that we lost our appetite. read more

Food is good but the service is hit or miss...otherwise I would have given 4 stars. Love the patio.

My 2 daughters and I went to Hiro 88 last night (12-27-2019). We were anticipating a good meal but were greatly disappointed. Slow service on the drinks and it was not very busy. The bartender spent most of his time wiping off the bar where nobody was sitting. One of my daughters got the wrong item and they then brought out the Kung Pao she ordered. It was tasteless and the chicken looked pale. So she sent it back and just got lettuce wraps which were just OK. I got the Sesame Chicken and was pretty bland as well. My other daughter got a tofu dish and wasn't thrilled with taste either. The only sauce on the table was soy sauce. We had Brussels sprouts as an appetizer and that was best thing all night. My daughter is a bartender and said the wine was a "weak pour". Meaning that there should have been more wine in the glass. We won't be going back to this restaurant. read more

After reading the poor reviews I was a bit nervous about eating here. The speed of service was great and the food was awesome. I will definitely return. read more

Hey this is Jim Potsworth. Oh boy, where do I start. Me and my two boys Chuck and Reagan went in the other day to get some rolls and we wait over an hour for the most mediocre, white trash, lousy, half assed, disgrace of a plate of sushi. This was the most truly horrendously and blatantly offensive "meal" i have ever laid eyes on. I paid the bill (definitely not leaving a tip), took the plate right to the bathroom, flushed it down the toilet, grabbed Chuck and Reagan and headed straight for the door. 100% will never eat there ever again. read more

I'll give it a 3 star due to the sushi there it is a must have but when I ordered a 28 dollar steak it tasted awful. It had some decent service due to the fact that they were nice but some felt lazy not giving us the right utensils. read more

Called to make a reservation and the lady was very rude. When we arrived they said we didn't have a reservation and we had to leave to make was for people who did. Employees were very rude. Usually enjoy food but customer service was unnecessarily rude. read more

They go above and beyond to service you at Hiro 88. The sushi is fresh and delicious. Then of course there is the entrees, I may suggest Yin's chicken. The staff is top notch and the environment is not lacking any ambience! read more

Been a frequent spot since they arrived in the south! Never disappoints every time. I usually go with sushi which is always fresh and spot on. This time our group of 5 had a variety of things. The Peanut Butter Chicken was perfect. Peanut butter wasn't overwhelming but you tasted it enough to know it was there. Seasons Chicken was fried to perfection and the sesame was oh so succulent! The shrimp Tempura was great for a couple of minutes when it's hot but like most fried foods it gets cold. It's quite a bit of fried food so if a plate of fried food doesn't sound good I wouldn't suggest it. All in all will continue to visit Hiro since it's so close and always consistent with the food! read more

Hiro 88 is a nice location for lunch or dinner when you don't want to have to go downtown. I've tried it a few times and the sushi is usually really good however there was an hour wait for sushi I guess so we were told to maybe try something off the Chinese menu instead . It was all right didn't really taste very flavorful but the shrimp was decent. I could make something way better and is far as noodles and more authentic flavors..The appetizers were delicious and they have an excellent wine list however I would've really liked to of had sushi! Seems like it must be a staffing issue because I really didn't see any tables near me eating anything that looked remotely like any items off the sushi menu . We had actually tried another sushi place before stopping in and couldn't get sushi there either must've just been a weird weekend! Will be back again to try and get some sushi but will probably not order off the Chinese menu again. read more

Hiro 88 - Dumplings - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

What a disappointment all the way around. Order sushi over the phone got take out. Don't. It was the worst sushi's I have ever had. I would have been better off going to Sams club way better sushi. Called and spoke to the owner REFUSED to do ANYTHING. Told me because of the pandemic they were cutting back on food. Poor excuse for a business. Why is that my issue. Close your doors then, your sushi is terrible. And if this is the way you treat guest from another state I could only imagine the way they treat the people there read more

Great service and luxury dining area! The sushi was great and plated very well! Will go back again!! read more

Hiro 88 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Terrific food and environment. Great for daTe night or dinner wIth friends! Not so much for kids.

We are Hiro 88 regulars, at both locations, and it has become our goto place for sushi in Lincoln. Tonight, at the southeast location, it was especially good. Our sushi boat was loaded with assorted nigiri and rolls. We also threw in a entree of Mongolian beef for good measure. Party of five, including three teenagers, plowed through it all. So good. Fresh and great flavor. So delicious. The place is really for all tastes--sushi connoisseurs and fans of Asian fusion--and serve each incredibly well. Ok, one thing, a little in the pricey side, even for the size of party. But, hey, if it follows the addage, "you get what you pay for" you won't mind the splurge if it tastes this great. I guess some may drop a star if they feel a little sticker shock at the end of it all. But hanging firm with 5 big ones. Quality and service makes it so worth it. Oh yeah, the service. Outstanding. Our food server, Jeroeim, enjoys his work and is great at it. Happy to lay a good tip on top of the final tally. It won't be very long before we are back. read more

Server took about 25 mins to do ANYTHING. Drinks took 35 mins to get to the table. He brought out the wrong rolls for one of the girls we were with and then took another 30 mins to get the correct rolls AFTER hitting her in the head with the plate leaving a bump on her head. Service was terrible with our server Dylan Goodrich. Food was aight tho. read more

I love their food, the atmosphere, the location. I have been here many many many times - the service is sooo slow and poor. Two occasions of more than an hour to get food in a row from when we ordered. Not acceptable at all. Fifteen minutes before we saw a server after being seated. Where is the management. read more

We waited for an an hour to find out they just put our order in. Asked if we still wanted our food...not comped I will never be back. I never leave reviews but they didn't care about their mistake read more

Really marginal. Great waitress. Food was actually tasty. Drinks from bar almost undrinkable. Cab wine served refridgerated cold. Extremely loud music. They refused to turn it down. Will not return. read more

The service was in slow which I can handle since I know staffing is an issue these days. It would have been nice to be acknowledged occasionally while we waited, and waited, and waited. read more

Mostly service related, sushi was good, but Kung Pao Shrimp left a lot to be desired. Waiter would go 10-15 minutes between stops at our table. He discouraged questions about the menu, & abruptly left us while we were ordering b/c he was frustrated answering questions. He refused to make substitutions within the menu, & he missed one of our sushi rolls that we marked on our menu. His response to missing the roll: "Uh, what do you want me to do. Are you okay without the roll, or do you want me to put in the order, because it will be like 20 minutes." We asked him if he could get our order (of 1 roll that he missed) up to the front of the line, & he said no. Do not have to go back here read more

Im very disappointed in the lack of service that was showed to me and my son. We are African-American and we sat for twenty minutes waiting to get served after a table busser offered us water. At first I thought there was another server but this one particular lady whose name ill keep out walked pass us several times as she attended to other white patrons who had come in after us. When I finally said something to her she acted as if she thought we've already been helped when she was the only server. Its hard not to be upset about racial injustices when the reason I moved to Lincoln was because of the diversity, but never in a million years did I think I would experience right here in lincoln. read more

to be honest, to the man in the back that is tossing and turning the wok to make my sesame chicken this gas, needs to get his ass ate! this is fire and he needs to get pleased tbh. read more

Came in at 330 pm on Sunday and it was really slow so I figured it would be quick. We ordered only 4 rolls and it took over an hour to receive our food. When we did, half were rolled horribly and not staying together, and the other were missing components that were listed on the menu. Over priced, poor quality, poor service, would not recommend this location. Haymarket is much better. read more

While not as good in terms of service as the original location in the haymarket, I like that it's close to the house. Needs more parking.

Excellent atmosphere, service, and food. Love coming here, and I personally want to say thank you to Matthew the waiter who has provided great service more than twice. read more

Food was good, but atmosphere was extremely noisy and I couldn't here across the table any of our conversation without yelling. Both times we have dined there have been the same read more

I was seated at a table next to my family members due to being unable to all sit together in accordance with COVID protocols (which I totally understand). The manager came over to our table and said "since you have the intention of talking to one another" they would not be able to allow this. She threatened that she would just close our tab and give us our check if we remained at the tables that THEY sat us at. Her tone & attitude were unprofessional and unfriendly. I will not be back, and will not recommend this restaurant in the future. read more

This restaurant was very good my favorite was hiro 88. The service was good to we waited not that long so the restaurant was good I liked it. Gonna come back read more

Diner in twice and ordered carry-out twice. Staff is attentive, polite, restaurant clean. To-go order ready in time stated, even when busy, nicely labeled and packaged. Excellent bento box lunch special. So nice to have good sushi on the south side of town! read more

Do Not waste your time ordering to go. Used the app to place an order and was given a 30 minute wait time, showed up after 45 minutes and was told a few more minutes, an hour later, told a few more minutes. 35 minutes after that my food is still not ready. It has been 2 hours and 10 minutes since I ordered and an hour and 10 minutes that I have been waiting here. The manager is unapologetic and the host staff incompetent at quoting wait times. Worst experience ever. read more

First time in amd the amlunt of space is amazing. Very friendly staff. Very packed friday night but didnt have to wait as we sat at the bar. Food took a little longer then normal but well worth the wait. 4 out of 5 stars great sushi will be back for sure. read more

The food was okay, but nothing special. Therefore, it was overpriced. The service was some of the worst I've seen from a restaurant that fancy; the waitress was rude and one of their servers cut right in front of us on our way out the door without apologizing. Will not be going there again. read more

Been here twice so far, and have very much enjoyed the food - the service not so much. The hostesses never seem to know what they are doing. In a nearly empty restaurant it takes them forever to seat people while the line stacks up. First time they were putting everyone in one small room where the tables are way too close. My lunch companion and I could hear everything our neighbors said, and we didn't feel we could talk at all without being eavesdropped on. And the rest of the restaurant was completely empty! Plus, the belongings of the folks on both sides of us spilled over into our seats, and there was barely room to go in and out from the tables. And please don't try to seat older people at those high tops! Not a good idea in general, really bad when they are so tightly spaced! Again, food was great, but I prefer the downtown restaurant for comfort. read more

Good food but went to bar for takeout and waited for over an hour while people who came in at the same time as us or after us ate and left before we got our food. read more

Husband left home at 5:10 to get food he ordered online. Just got home at 8:25pm for our Mother's Day dinner. He called at 1:45pm to put in the order and was told to call back later because they weren't taking orders for dinner yet. He called back from 3:45-4:05 and it went straight to voicemail. So, he ordered online. It said it would be ready at 5:30. He arrived by 5:20 and checked in. And waited. And waited some more. Outside in the cold. In shorts. He finally went inside again at about 8 to cancel the order. Was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. He brought it home (we live less than a mile away) and the hot stuff is not hot-lukewarm at best. He's too nice to say anything, but this is the absolute worst service we've had at a restaurant. Ever. I realize in these times, things are not perfect, but 3 hours???? read more

If you want to wait 45+ minutes for a pick-up order that was to be done in 25 minutes this is the place to go. Now to make it even better... while you are waiting around you watch a customer go out with an order and drive away and then come back giving an order back to a staff member, but before the customer gave it back took some items from the bag. Staff took the bag in the back then brought the bag up to the front and tried to give it me. Asking the staff if this was the bag a customer just brought back? The were honest and said that there was a mix-up. Now under normal conditions this is a health safety violation but they didn't think it was an issue. I had already paid and demanded to cancel the order with refund. This was another issue. Finally a manager came up and did the refund and didn't acknowledge me. There was no apology for either the wait or giving a contaminated order. I would not give them a star.... but you have to post a review. read more

It's hard to understand why this Hiro 88 location is so much worse than the others. It's embarrassing to have brought a guest after talking in glowing terms about the chain... and then experienced such poor service and lower quality food. Dining here was not a pleasant experience. Specifically our cocktails were weak, the tuna nigiri was beyond fishy (old, should not have been served), and one roll didn't match its description. The waiter became super bitchy when we protested the weak cocktails, and then later completely non-verbal. They did not have one of the nigiri, but still tried to charge us for it. The online menu is overdeveloped to the point it was impossible to know beforehand that the non-sushi entrees are not Japanese. Very disappointed and won't try this location again. read more

horrible service. waited an hour and a half for our sushi, the server actually ended up losing one of our parties debit cards, I asked to speak to a manager four different times and my server never brought them out. incredibly disappointed because usually they have good food, but I will not be returning my business anytime soon. read more

Bland, never fresh, low grade. Avoid unless your stubborn Nebraska friends are dragging you there.

The sushi is fantastic... our server was great!!! Management needs customer service training... BADLY!! I showed up for a reservation for my party of ten, for a baby shower. The reservation was at 4pm and they would not sit me until half the party was there. The restaurant was empty. I was asked three times if I had been helped, when I told of the situation, they said that was their policy. I told them that I get the policy if it were at 6pm, but not at a time when there were few customers. When the reservation was made, we requested the party room. We were not sat in the party room. We spent well over $300, before gratuity. One of us brought cupcakes for dessert. We were told we would be charged $12 for bringing a dessert. After the guest of honor finished opening her gifts and we had paid our tab, one of the three floor managers informed us that we had been holding the table for over three hours, their lobby was full and we were more than welcome to continue our celebration in the bar area. We grabbed our things and left. Several things here. When making the reservation, we specifically asked for the party room and let them know one of us was bringing dessert. On the call, the receptionist assured us everything would be fine. They also informed us that they may need to put over flow in the party room area. We were fine with that. There was no mention of a dessert fee, no mention of a time limit and no mention of their policy on needing half of the party there to be seated. It was very apparent they do not like to cater to events. There is a disconnect between reception & management. Once again, great food but bad for large groups read more
