    Hibachi Chicken
    Onvara A.

    We stopped by Japanese Express to grab a quick lunch while we were on the road. The best part of our meal is that we got exactly what we paid for - nothing super special or fancy, but everything was super cheap and came in massive portions. We even made 3 meals out of it! We got the Teriyaki Chicken and Hibachi Chicken entrees. Both came with a side of rice and sweet carrots. We also shared a side of vegetables because we thought this might not be enough food, but we were wrong - it was a feast! Overall, don't come here expecting some high-end Japanese, but if you're looking for some cheap, filling hibachi, this is a good spot for you.

    Ended up stumbling upon Japanese Express on my way from Ridgecrest Conference Center in Black Mountain. What I expected to be a quick stop for gas and fast food led me to this place. This place is accurately named! We were able to place our hibachi and sushi order and get our food pretty quickly in order to get back on the road. I was a bit skeptical to order sushi for myself because I am really particular about my sushi and didn't want to be disappointed. My friend ordered a crab roll and I tried a piece and it was pretty good. I've had bad sushi and I've had excellent sushi, and this faired in between. My hibachi steak and shrimp was also pretty good. It came with fresh broccoli, mushrooms, and sweet carrots and shrimp sauce. I ate all of it! This was a good find!

    The food is really good and the service has always been nice. The prices are not bad and they are fairly quick at preparing your food.

    Good food for fast food Japanese. Like most Japanese and Chinese restaurants they need a lesson in cleaning.

    KOBE - Japanese House of Steak and Seafood is as the name suggests... a Japanese steakhouse that…read moreserves grilled meats and vegetables along with other items such as sushi, but I believe most people go for the hibachi experience. The inside looks a bit outdated, but it was not that big of a deal to me as everything was running properly. I thought that the chefs were very cool to watch. I got the Hibachi Chicken. It was a really filling meal! This place does not skimp out on portions. I enjoyed how tender the zucchini and chicken were cooked and the shrimp sauce made it taste a lot better (who does not love shrimp sauce?!). I thought that everything was seasoned well, but a bit too well? My meal was a bit salty for my liking, but that is just a personal preference. As my first hibachi experience, I would probably give this place a 3.5/5 stars if I could. It is not overly fancy and works for a place like Hickory.

    Came here on a weekday with a gang of coworkers. It was nice to see the place pretty packed for a…read moreweekday, most tables were full. No draft beers from what I saw, only bottled beer which is fine. We all got Sapporo which was nice, 22oz tall boys. For food we all got hibachi which was delicious - I was surprised how flavorful and delicious it was. I personally got the steak and chicken and loved it. Like all hibachi you get soup, salad, shrimp, and the hibachi meal you ordered with fried rice. We all left full and happy. The staff was super friendly and we were sat quickly, our orders were taken quickly and the food and drinks came out quick. Only thing that could have been improved was the hibachi tricks! Spinning knives and the egg in the hat are a classic - but no onion volcano !? no sake water gun!? Gotta step up the production value here lol, overall a great spot though.
