Hibachi chicken with broccoli and carrots
Noel P.

I ordered hibachi chicken , The chicken fried rice was dry overcooked. My chicken was chewy and also dry and overcooked. I didn't get soup and they usually substitute Yum Yum but charge me two dollars for two sides of Yum Yum sauce. It was mediocre food. I've been here multiple times and always had a good experience, but this time was not worth my money.

I have family who have always spoken highly about Hometown Hibachi so we decided to finally stop here! We both chose the hibachi meals one because of the amount of food you get! We wanted to have leftovers for later lol I had the combination of chicken and salmon hibachi with fried rice! Very good choice. My wife ordered the chicken hibachi and fried rice! Both had an excellent flavor and a generous meal! The atmosphere is definitely laid back but small seating. There is a few outside tables so on a sunny day it would be nice to eat outside! Our server was very friendly and kept our drinks full without having to ask for a refill and in my opinion thats a major win! All in all of your in Chillicothe or traveling through the area stop in!

Poke bowl with tuna

Literally our favorite restaurant. All of the food is so good and fresh. The portions are large too!

American Dream Roll

Came to Chillicothe to do some sight seeing; I'm originally from California and my boyfriend and I came to visit his family and stopped here to try some sushi/hibachi. The food portions are big! We didn't expect to receive so much but it was a lot for how much we paid. The sushi was good, a little heavy on the sauce but overall I enjoyed it! I loved the tempura and the gyoza was pretty tasty as well. My boyfriend enjoyed the chicken hibachi too (: The interior was really clean, a bit smoky from the kitchen but aside from that, I liked the decor and ambiance. The service was awesome! Our server was really nice and attentive. I ordered the American Dream and the Chillicothe rolls, though the kitchen accidentally gave me the Hometown along with the Chillicothe roll. They gave us the extra roll for free! We'll definitely come back here again (:

NY Chicken & Steak meal with Lo Mein and yum yum sauce on the side.
Nick D.

My wife and I always visit this restaurant when we are in Chillicothe. The hibachi here is better than any of the others that I've had in my life. It is always comprised of fresh ingredients and they have fast service. Each meal comes with a side salad, soup, and yum yum sauce. You can also let them know you would like no vegetables and then you can get both rice (a ton) and lo mein noodles; whereas it is usually one or the other. I would recommend the NY steak and chicken meal. The chicken and steak are always and seasoned cooked to perfection!

Chicken, rice, and vegetables

The base sauce for the chicken and rice was very good, adding the yum yum sauce made the food great! The dining area is so cute, with touches of downtown Chillicothe. Our food was enough for 3-4 people, so great for the price. When we got carry out during a pandemic, I called immediately at 4 PM to put in an order ready at 5 PM. It was ready and hot. I love the soup and salad that comes with every meal. Each meal is enough for three servings for me, so I know I am getting a good deal. The Yum Yum sauce makes me return every time, it is good on the noodles and chicken and shrimp. Hometown hibachi I know is locally run, so I will continue to support small businesses in Chillicothe.

Salad

It's cramped. Social distancing isn't something they are taking very seriously. The portion sizes are huge on the fried rice but skimpy on the meat. The shrimp was very firm. The fried rice was dripping with soy. The spring rolls were greasy. A great price but a disappointment in quality.

Food is only second to the service. But the service is just THAT good. The ambience is just right for a casual dinner and good conversation.

Amazing little gem in middle Ohio offering a quality of ramen you wouldn't expect, but absolutely…read moreworth coming and having. Better than ramen I've had in San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago or Dallas. The chili oil or sashuan oil is not as hot as I thought. Easy to eat, even if you can't tolerate much spice. Staff was super amazing. Shout out to the guy behind the bar. Rockin' beard and rockin' attitude. Easy 30-minute drive from Beaver Creek, Wright-Pat area, but so worth it.

I was excited for my second visit, timing my lunch on a western drive from Ohio to Indiana. Happy…read moreto have a reprieve from dodging the semis on I70. I wasn't as surprised this time by the location in a neighborhood, something that gives it a very welcome feel and suggests with the addition of a covered outdoor porch with picnic tables that this is a good neighborhood hang. I was late for lunch, almost two but there were some folks still finishing up. Good vibe, good music and casual atmosphere. I opted for the Takoyaki app which was tasty and not so burning hot that it scorched the roof of your mouth. Also the right amount of mayonnaise as opposed to often an excess. The Ramen Flight was fun in principle but I wouldn't do it again. I unwisely and perhaps naively assumed there would be mini versions of the full serving of Tonkotsu broth with Mayo, Thai curry and Szechuan with scallions. But it really is just the broth and ramen. Expected the Szechuan to have some heat and peppery lip buzz but did not. The Thai curry was super salty. Just missed some option of veggies and protein. Finally I would suggest not sitting near the front near the stairs to the kitchen. The spot has competing music soundtracks with two different play lists battling between your two ears.

This place definitely used to be a Golden Corral because, well I never forget a place that gave me severe bubble guts. Slightly renovated to resemble a Chinese buffet, I'm actually pleased by the selections. They do have a little Dim Sum...dumplings, sesame balls, sticky rice with chicken. The usual suspects are there... General Tso, Chicken with broccoli, chicken on a stick, French fries, chicken wings, Lo mein, fried rice. Nothing really stood out but it was better than most buffets I've been to flavor wise. Limited sushi selection but they do have a larger dessert area. My personal takeaways were the sesame balls, the sticky rice with chicken and the fried rice. The Hot n Sour soup was pretty good also. There's also a hibachi but I didn't try it. So $16.11 it was nothing sensational but it was good for a buffet. Walking back to the car bloated and ready for a nap, but at least not driving to the ER like with Golden Corral lol.

I admit, I was hearing/seeing a lot of hype about this place, so while in the area, I decided to…read moregive it a try. While a step or three above the "standard" Asian buffets, I didn't find it to be "life changing" experience I was hoping for. Are there some different, not commonly found at other buffets options? Yes, along with plenty of the standards to keep just about everyone happy and full. Clean, well-stocked Asian buffet "standards" along with some surprises, and definitely something for just about everyone... A "tad" higher priced than some other buffets, but you definitely won't leave hungry. Check it out if you're in the area...

The location had plenty of seating and was clean with nice bathrooms. The food was great. Everything was the right temperature and very fresh. The fried tempura green beans were amazing. Lots of Thai, Chinese and even Korean dishes. Fairly large portions and well priced.

Went there for lunch, friend recommended…read more I went there once before, it said open at 11am, and...is not So this is the second time, giving them a second chance. First of all, if you never been here before, you just going to keep on driving, even tho is located in a plaza , big parking lot, but if you look at all businesses in the plaza, all are signs "open", welcoming, here? Is all super dark, windows are all cover, more like a sign saying "go away" we closed When I walked in, I just stood there, no one greeted me, no host by the front. One of the server saw me and told me to take a seat anywhere. I'm only there for lunch, so I look at the lunch menu. Now here is the thing. I believe every restaurant should only serve one type of food, meaning if you want to serve Chinese food, Chinese food only, if you want to serve Steak, Steak and Lobster only, don't do Thai and so Italian or Vietnamese and Gyro, this place is Chinese and...Thai, and they got a Mexican serving me, okay, is like so what are you? Friend of mine told me they also serve Vietnamese coffee, I asked, he said only Thai coffee, okay, no big deal. Ordered a drink, asked for a a straw, nope, don't have it, asked me if I want a to go cup, a restaurant don't have straw? Thats your only one job, order everything you need for the "restaurant". To me, that's a very poor management, because when you owing a business, you do not and never wait until everything is out to reorder, when ever your products are running low, not out, you reorder Poor experience
