I love their tempura sushi rolls! The Who Dat is my favorite, with crab meat and cream cheese. The Hibachi chicken and steak with veggies are pretty tasty. Food is great but PLEASE CLEAN THE RESTROOM...DISGUSTING!!! read more

Good fast hibachi place. Sushi is decent. I like the crawfish cream cheese roll fried. Kids like the miso. However it has been slow lately for lunch. Even when there is not a lot of folks there. Get the chicken or steak hibachi lunch. Sub the noodles for rice. Also kids like it that it has free WiFi. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Lil Pug recommended and we were on the way home driving right past so she and I stopped by, both had the shrimp hibachi. The yum yum sauce alone was worth the trip, over heard another customer raving about it before we got ours, he was right, best in town maybe the world. Enough food for Lil Pug to have a second snack/meal at home later. Gentleman behind the counter (Aben maybe? Fella with the ponytail on top and shaved sides) may have been the nicest person I have encountered this week. Over the top friendly and helpful. Shame some jackass came in while we were eating and was very rude and racist in his interaction with him, who kept cool and smiling. (FYI not all racist are Caucasian as this man proved) Food was GREAT from the salad (simple but the dressing, mmmmm) to the hibachi shrimp and fresh cooked Vegs. Sweet tea was VERY sweet but a simple taste before filling my cup alerted me to mix half and half, problem solved. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick, tasty alternative to the local fast food assortment in the area. Will be back and bring Mrs with us next visit. read more

Japanese Express - Shrimp Hibachi, and fresh vegs. Even better than it looks. - Japanese Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

We tried it when hungry for Asian menu! It was great! Excellent cooked sushi! Lo Mein was super! We have been there 3 times in less than 2 weeks. Staff are great and it was very clean! read more

Gave me and my friends all a stomach ache, got the hibachi steak dinner. Steak was rubbery and rice was flavorless. The vegetable really didn't have much taste either. Really everything tasted the same. Not really worth it! read more

The food is always delicious! And the service is great. Best hibachi and sushi for the price in the area!

I love this location. When I visited tonight, the cashier was so friendly! For $7 I got a to go box FULL of fried rice with shrimp. Definitely enough for two people to get really full. Atmosphere is pretty average, but the food and service are phenomenal read more

Favorite take out place in mobile. Food is consistently delicious and it's made in a timely manner. Servers and cashier are very pleasant and I've tried many things off of the menu and never had a bad experience. The showstopper roll is my favorite. read more

Delicious food !!! I tried it for the 1st time last year and was completely blown away by the great service and food!!! Sushi made how you want crab Rangoon off the chart!!! read more

I've been going here since they opened in 2012 and I've never had a bad meal. It's always made to order, and always fresh. The sushi is CHEAP compared to other places yet it's better than a lot of places with expensive sushi. You just can't beat it here. It's awesome! read more

Since this place is so close to where I live, I was excited to try this place since the reviews were great! I ordered the Hibachi chicken with a side of mushroom soup and pretty much everything was completely bland. I'm by no means an authentic junkie, but I do expect my hibachi to actually taste like... hibachi. I've never ever had breaded chicken in a hibachi meal (if this is the norm, that should be advertised) and everything underneath the chicken was greasy as a result. Every single piece of food both looked AND tasted as though they had been waved in front of a bottle of hibachi sauce. The vegetables were severely undercooked and flavorless as though they had simply steamed them in a pot or microwaved them. The clear mushroom soup again tasted as if they had simply boiled a few slices of mushroom in a cup of water, no punch of umami or saltiness to be found in it. The most egregious of these things is that I requested the house sauce or the "Yum-yum" sauce as it's often referred to down here. I've had many different variations of this sauce... but never have I had someone mix mayonnaise and ketchup and try to pass it off as something else. This place felt like a real waste of money. It felt like an inexperienced American's idea of what hibachi food tastes like without ever actually eating good hibachi. read more

Love this place. We eat here every other week or more. The chicken hibachi is excellent. I like that the chicken is a little crispy. They usually give me so much food that I can easily share with my 11 year old daughter. And it is affordable enough that I can justify ordering sushi in addition to that and having plenty of leftovers. But it isn't just about the quantity. This is yummy! And the yum yum sauce I always order extra of because it's so good. Also, not too crazy about the giant carrots so we just ask for extra steamed veggies instead. If you need food fast, call ahead. Go here instead of hibachi 1 if you want great taste and a great deal. read more

This place has awesome meals! I usually get the steak and shrimp hibachi. Great price, great portion. We always call ahead and pick up. Consistent & delish. read more

I've been coming here for years and eat here at least twice a month; however recently there has been a change of staff and it just hasn't been as good. My last visit was particularly bad. The girl working the register wasn't friendly and almost looked annoyed every time someone walked in, then upon sitting down we realized the air was on 79 and it was insanely hot. Still, the food was good and it is super affordable. Hibachi items: 9/10 "Teriyaki Messi" items: 10/10 Sushi: 7/10 (super cheap) read more

Excellent food. If you are not an onion lover please let them know because they go heavy with them. Other than that Bon appétit

My favorite sushi restaurant in Mobile or south Alabama in general. We always do carry out, so I can't speak to the inside eating. They are super quick with making the food, and we usually order a lot. The sushi tastes, smells, and looks fresher than any other restaurant around. The price point cannot be beat. Most rolls are $2.50 per roll, and that's just amazing for the quality. I always get spicy mayo on my rolls, and they are one of the few places who consistently get the flavor right. If you're spending money on sushi, this is the place to go. read more

Actually really good food, for a hole in the wall place. Very nice staff too. had the chicken hibachi, big portions and the sauce was really good. The price was even better. Will definitely be coming back here. read more

The kid at the register was cheery and very helpful! We were talked into the "Oh Crab Roll" and another special that wasn't even posted. Both were fresh and tasty! Our kids shared a teriyaki chicken messy??? Or something like that! Everything had good flavor and wasn't too pricey. read more

This place is terrible... I LOVE sushi, so if I leave sushi on my plate there is a problem. The rolls were room temperature...AVOID!

Love this place! I'm here a little to much. I place my orders late because of work but I always call ahead because I hate being one of those last minute customers I started calling around 9:00pm they close till 9:30. They probably recognize my face I'm there pretty often around the same time with the same simple order. I call and call half an hour before their closed I've called at later times than this and no one picks up so I finally give up and drive up there to just be told they were closed when they still had about 10 mins trust I worked in food and I hate being that person but when someone was literally blowing up your phone there is no excuse to tell someone you are closed! It will be a long time before I return and spend my money here. read more

It is awesome!! It's better than Rock and Roll. The sushi is amazing!!! I will definitely be coming back! It is an awesome environment. The people here are amazing. I will recommend it to anyone!! read more

If you want take out but not the usual take out... this is the place! Food was good and pretty quick.

Excellent takeout! We have eaten her quite a few times and have never been disappointed. They have excellent prices and is our go to takeout sushi place!! read more

I don't think it's to hard to get an order correct but apparently it is. We eat here all the time and they never once have gotten my order correct. I only order a hibachi dinner with no teriyaki on top and yet every single time, they have to redo it! read more

Food was very delicious, good prices and great portion sizes! Our first time at this location and we will be back! I had the steak teriyaki and tempura asparagus, along with the shrimp sauce...yum! read more

Every single roll they make is great. Very clean very fast. Always nice service when i go. I eat there maybe once or twice a week. Never a bad order. read more

Very good variety and tasty options at decent prices. Not unique compared to similar chains, but as long as the food is good, who really cares? Recently I noticed its health department score went up several points so I'm happy to recommend Japanese Express without hesitation. read more

I have dined in, as well as utilized the take-out service. The Chicken Hibachi is ok. When taking out, the chicken is a bit dry. Dining in, it's much better. I will say that the hibachi meals have less grease and are a lot lighter than that of a traditional hibachi restaurant. The "Opposite of War Eagle" Roll (Im an Auburn fan) aka Roll Tide Roll, is FANTASTIC. I've had that 4 times, and it has been consistently good. The last time I had the roll, it was a bit smaller, so I suppose it depends on who is making the food-just like anywhere else. The seaweed salad is decent. Cuke salad-decent, as well. I LOVE the Tempura Banana. Even when taken to go, it holds up considerably well. Average cost is around $22for 2 people for dinner. read more

Tried it for the first time tonight and the food was decent but nothing special. Very average food. Lady at the register wasn't friendly at all. Asked her a simple question and she was rude with her answer. If your wanting actual yum yum/white sauce this is not the place to go. Below average restaurant with non friendly staff. Will not be going back here read more

Seriously so good, I can get the lunch portion and have leftovers. My boyfriend and I went to the one on airport the other day. He got chicken and I got veggie and they were both phenomenal, such a good deal. read more

For fast take out, excellent choice! Delicious food and prices. I do recommend they ventilate the place a bit better because it's kinda stuffy, so we usually call ahead and pick up. Other than that, definitely will return for more take out. When you don't have the time for a sit down hibachi dining experience, Japanese Express it is. read more

I went in expecting a fairly quick and appetizing meal. It was neither. To be fair, they do prepare food for takeout but I was one of two people inside the restaurant and waited 20 minutes for my order. The chicken in the stir fry was very dark brown and hard due to being overcooked. Fast and quick Japanese food in this area of Mobile is a great idea. I hope they get it figured out. read more

Love this place! Great sushi at great prices! Crab Rangoon is incredible! Spring rolls are fresh. Special rolls are very tasty and service is great! No matter what bad review you read... try it for yourself! You wont be disappointed. read more

Excellent price, and good hibachi. Service is quick and you can call ahead for pick-up orders.

Went here for the first time because of the good Yelp reviews. I was seriously misled. The tables were dirty, the wait was long after we ordered, the food was mediocre and overpriced, and the atmosphere was terrible. The sushi was lukewarm and didn't taste very good. I even got stabbed in the mouth by an eel pin bone from the Shake Rattle Roll. The egg rolls and dumplings tasted like they came from the freezer aisle of a grocery store. All the patrons looked like high schoolers (not that I have a problem with that, but the obnoxious group of guys at the table next to mine were loud and foul-mouthed). I could have gotten a better tasting all-you-can-eat meal from Hibachi 1 on Cottage Hill @ Hillcrest for the same price, and I could have gotten much better food plus delivery from Panda Haven on Grelot for even cheaper. Don't waste your time here unless you really love crappy, overly-Americanized "Japanese" food. read more
