Order was wrong and all they did was apologize. We received Shrimp Teriyaki instead of Hibachi and received Veggie Teriyaki instead of Chicken Hibachi. They informed me Hibachi Shrimp comes with broccoli instead of mushrooms. The sauce was more like Teriyaki not Hibachi! Spring Rolls were hard and tough. Disappointed.

I think the wait staff has good intentions, but if the place is busy, you will sit there for 90 minutes waiting for the most simple order to be fulfilled by the kitchen, assuming you even get everything you ordered. I would be encouraged if I planned to open a restaurant in Gaffney that offered a slightly more upscale experience and made a menu with more than Chinese, Mexican and meat-and-three. The demand is there, maybe too much demand.

We were planning to spend our Anniversary weekend in Hickory, so like always, I searched on Yelp…read morefor the best restaurants & reading the reviews on Umi, had my attention! I called & l/m 5 days ahead & the owner clearly states what times are available each day that week since they only have 5 tables. The owner called me back within an hour & confirmed our reservation. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner & she immediately wished us a Happy Anniversary & had 2 roses in a vase for us to keep. Very romantic & quiet setting. The Bibb salad with the soy & Yuzu dressing was delicious & so fresh! We had the smoked salmon roll, steamed lobster roll & tuna tataki and all were delicious! This husband & wife team restaurant is a hidden gem (it's tucked in a plaza behind a gas station, so at night, it may be easy to miss!). If you're a sushi lover & will be in Hickory, call in advance & make your reservation! We are already looking forward to our next visit in the spring when our daughter's lacrosse team plays LR!

We had a birthday reservation for 8 people at 7:30pm, but did not get seated at least 15-20 minutes…read morelater. Granted, the restaurant was busy, however we expected our table to be ready around 7:30. This was our first time here, so we did not know how they ran the establishment. We got the all you can eat menu, but no one explained how anything worked/addressed our table until 10-15 minutes later. Everyone gets their own AYCE paper menu, however be sure to coordinate with your party on how many menu items are being ordered. We had to pay an extra fee for taking home our leftovers, but I do think the server could have confirmed with our table first before putting in all of our paper orders and letting us have an abundance of food. I believe there is a better system for AYCE than this. Service was a 0/10. In regard to the food, sushi was mid at best. The raw salmon was mushy, hibachi steak was mushy, and overall just mushy. For the price that we paid, we expected more premium food than this. Honestly, the only good and memorable food were surprisingly the french fries and yellow tail jalapeño appetizer Food was 1/10, presentation was 5/10. There is 100% better sushi than this within 30 minutes away. You're better off buying from the grocery store. I DONT recommend getting the mackerel either. For a Japanese cuisine restaurant, we could tell this was not authentic. We were there from 7:30 up until closing, in which they deliberately were trying to rush us out by turning off the lights and not even giving my brother a birthday celebration. They just hurriedly handed him a plain bowl of vanilla ice cream and explained how they "usually put a chocolate drizzle and whipped cream on it." I had to start singing happy birthday myself for the whole restaurant to join along. Then the server unashamedly came back to sing with us as if she was there the whole time... All in all, I DO NOT recommend coming here for AYCE sushi and I don't think you guys know what a bad day really is. I don't even want to look at sushi ever again.

Totally disgusted. We ordered a Hibachi Chicken with mushrooms & broccoli and spring rolls. We were…read morehungry so we pulled over in a parking lot to eat. As I took a few bites, I realized there was something in my food. Initially, I thought it was a weird looking piece of rice. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a maggot!! When we took it back, the lady at the window was argumentative & upset with us for bringing it back. She only refunded a portion of the order. Never going back!

Big shrimp was good, broccoli came near a grill for a nanosecond maybe, chicken had to be pre-cooked because it was hard as nails and I really did not have a clue that you could mess up rice that bad. Funny thing is I went for the rice, what in the devil was I thinking? This used to be one of my most favorite restaurants in Shelby and I would sit for 40 minutes in that line. Please don't waste your time. I am so disappointed in myself for making this choice. It looks like the reviews tend to agree with me.
