This place is my go to. Hands down the best food truck I've been too. I found them once when they were on Pacific blvd and since then it seems like they moved to the barn at hickory station. No worries Kento, I would follow you anywhere. It's around $13.50 for a combo plate (I get chicken and steak) and I think that is absolutely reasonable. The other food trucks in the area charge maybe slightly less but you get cold, mediocre food. I would gladly pay for a plate of fresh made food that feels like it comes right off a hibachi grill. Service is usually pretty quick, but understand that they are cooking you food and not microwaving it, that takes some time. Overall I adore this place and anytime I don't feel like cooking I try to convince my husband to get me something from here. 10/10 will always be a go to for take out. read more

Delicious food, served quickly and very hot and flavorful. One of the many food trucks at the Hickory Barn location. One of the best choices of really good food. Inexpensive and big portions. read more

My boyfriend and I just found this place and we loved it so much we came back for more, I think prices are reasonable considering I work for a small business I understand prices and what they have to be to run something like this! 10/10 love it will be back again for sure read more

I love the hibachi here! It's honestly the best one I have tried! They also have a tofu dish so it's great for vegetarians. The price is great for the amount of food you get!! It's fun to eat there for a night out but it so quick and easy to take home read more

Tasted like cheap fast food Japanese, the kind you find in a low-end mall that's on its way out. Whatever sauce they used tasted awful and was way too salty and sweet. The grilled vegetables were cooked well, but were overpeppered. read more

Omg, this place was delicious! I loved the vegetarian option to have tofu with the veggies. The sauce and way the food was grilled was so good and flavorful. The price and amount of food was on point and the sauce on the side was amazing! The customer service was very good, all the workers were pleasant and happy- they seemed like they were having fun. I highly recommend! read more

Kentochi Hibachi - Tofu with veggies plate - Japanese Near Me - Albany, Oregon

The hibachi chicken is probably the best I've ever had. Not a big fan of the yumyum sauce, but whatev. Would have been 5 stars, but minus one for never answering their phone. I'd order it for take out for 4 once or twice a week if they'd answer it. read more

It was really good food. Not a lot of spice or intense flavor, which was disappointing.

We were a Harvest Host guest at Bennett Vineyards and Kento Hibachi In Wheels was on location. We had our dinner already planned, but this sounded great! We bought the Shrimp Hibachi and a side of potstickers. Absolutely fantastic! Great job! Thank you for such a great quality meal!!!! Service was also great! They laughed with us and we're attentive. read more

Super awesome, healthy, fresh food, but way over priced! Can't give it 5 stars because they're overpriced.

This place is so good! Love the hibachi chicken, steak and shrimp. It's all sooo good!! Great cmr service. No complaints here!

I love the freshness of this food! The meats are cooked to perfection! Your dish can be tailored to the spice level of your liking. There are different flavors, and heat levels. Be sure to ask! The service is part of these class A goods. EVERY employee is willing to explain the food in detail, to make sure that you get what you want. I cannot say enough nice words about the staff. They carry Big Red soda! Commonly loved in the South US, it is a rare find in the PNW! This place is full of clean flavors, and delightful portion sizes for the price! read more

So good! Better quality than a sit down Japanese place. We were super impressed and can't wait to go back!

Yay for paid reviews? Because all those 5 stars, they surely could not have eaten here. At 13.50, food is not cheap. Plus, fried rice? At a"Japanese" food truck? Hard pass :| I'll stick with the Japanese steakhouse downtown. read more

I used to enjoy this place but they're never open during their posted business hours anymore. They've been closed the past three times I've gone. read more

Some of the best hibachi period! Forget that it's on wheels! My go to is the K1 steak and chicken, so good. And don't forget to add on the gyoza. read more

See all

Not the first reviewer of this place, but the reviewer from Corvallis it appears. Kento has been open a month as of today. I used to live in Japan for 5 years so my Japanese food standards are on the high side. Ordered gyoza and it was very, very good. This food truck has an advantage that the ones on 5th don't. A covered table & chairs in the bay created by the old car wash.... it was nice to sit out of the sun and enjoy my food. There were a couple of out-of-town Japanese students there at the same time and they seemed to enjoy the food also. The staff was not Japanese, but Indonesian. That's not a negative comment but a slight disappointment for me because I like to practice my Japanese whenever possible. read more

Call & order 20 to 30 minutes ahead & you can drive in & out really fast. I keep forgetting to ask if they have a spicier version of that pink sauce that always comes in my meal. read more

Not terrible but expected more based on previous reviews. Steak and shrimp combo - fried rice was decent but I felt that steak and shrimp lacked flavor. Gyoza sauce was sweet and definitely not traditional Japanese gyoza dipping sauce (should be soy sauce, touch of vinegar and spicy sesame oil/rayu). Service was quick and friendly. All in all the flavor just wasn't there. Needed something more. Oh and the pink sauce it came with didn't add much. Wish I could have liked it more. read more

This is my goto every time I goto the Barn. Whether you get the chicken, steak, or shrimp, I'm never disappointed.

Fresh Food, Fast and Friendly service, and Delicious! Loved this place! We've been to Japanese Steak houses to eat but these can be very expensive so we usually don't go often. I found this place on Yelp when I was searching for hibachi so I thought I'd give it a try. I was not disappointed. I ordered the shrimp and steak combo. It came with fried rice, sauce and veggies. It was so delicious! The sauce went perfect with it. The only thing I regret is eating so much. I just couldn't stop myself. lol I will definitely be coming back! read more

Ate here 3 times when they first opened and they were nice enough to make fried rice without onions. Last time I went they simply refused to do so... and no other orders were waiting. Lazy lazy lazy read more

Great choice for something different in the area. I had the chicken and steak combo and I ate and enjoyed every bit of it. The location is a food truck (trailer) but they do have a covered area (old carwash) to sit and eat. The flavors were on point, I'm just on the fence about the price. It rides the line between worth it for the amount you get (which isn't bad). I understand the style of food & convenience ect but it's juuussst riding the line of too expensive. Definitely worth trying however. Call ahead if you're looking for pick-up. read more

This is the best place in Oregon if your in the mood for Benihana don't even waste your time this place is 10 times better the steak and chicken is so good if you like spice tell em to give you a level 4 or 5 the yum yum sauce is so good i can drink it read more

Worth the price for some top notch steak. The sauce is also incredible. That's all I have to say but yelp won't let me post a review unless it has at least 3 sentences. read more

After passing by this place at least 30 times, I finally decided to stop by. I ordered the spicy sukiyaki steak for $10.50 and the gyoza for $3. The gyoza was better than most that I've had, but also smaller. The menu picture didn't quite match expectations, and I felt that each gyoza wasn't quite worth $0.60 each. That said, this is where I would go for gyoza cravings if you're nearby. On to the main course. There was a substantial amount of fried rice, made with perfect amounts of sauces and egg. Unfortunately, there was nothing else in the rice. Not a big deal, just unexpected. The vegetables had decent texture, but the taste was lacking - admittedly, there was a sauce cup that I didn't notice until after I finished, but so many things could have been done to make the vegetables more enjoyable on their own. The steak was delightful and some of the best I've had outside of Korean BBQ, but I was expecting more for the price point. The staff was polite, patient, and receptive. The owner is clearly receptive to feedback, as evidenced by other reviews. Overall, I'm happy I dropped by to satisfy my curiosity; the food was delicious and the staff was welcoming, but the portions were smaller than I was expecting. Places like La Rockita, American Dream Pizza (or MoC, depending on your pizza preferences), and Al Jebal provide 2x to 3x the amount of food per dollar with similar quality and speed. Tacovino, Sada, Tianfu Noodle, and most other sit-down places provide better food at the same price point. This is definitely the best place to quickly satisfy a Japanese grilled meat craving, but it doesn't seem to do anything else better than other options in Corvallis. read more

Loved the food! I got chicken hibachi, and my boyfriend got steak hibachi. Everything was wonderful. Their fried rice is seriously so delicious, and their sauces are top notch. A hibachi dinner comes with grilled vegetables, plenty of fried rice, and your protein of choice. The employees working in the truck were beyond kind. They were full of smiles and quick to answer my questions. We felt very welcomed. We will return, and I highly recommend this food truck to anyone. PS if you are worried about how the food will hold up if you live out of town, worry not; we brought our food back to Albany and it was in excellent condition. No issues whatsoever. read more

Good tasting food and excellent service, after ordering they brought the food to my car. It's nice to have a food truck option for hibachi in Corvallis. A little pricey but the quality of the steak was good. read more

Kentochi Hibachi - Steak and shrimp combo - Japanese Near Me - Albany, Oregon

I got the hibachi chicken with grilled vegetables and fried rice. It was ok. The flavors were kind of bland. The chicken and vegetables didn't have that much of a grilled flavor or grilled colors on them. The sauce was in with the chicken but served on a 3 compartment clam shell box so you have to mix the sauced chicken with the rice and vegetables yourself. I would season more and mix the chicken in with the vegetables and rice on the grill and serve it all mixed and seasoned. Maybe the grill wasn't set hot enough to get a good sear on the meat and vegetables. With the door and windows of the food car open I can see that the smoke from the grill doesn't always directly go up through the hood, maybe the air curtain needs to be rechecked. The portion sizes was fair and good for the money. Healthy ingredients, not greasy. read more

One of the best food spots in Corvallis (probably). I got the veggie plate and it came with more than enough rice, veggies, and tofu! the veggies were grilled along with the tofu, and the rice was stir fried. it also came with their yum yum sauce which was pink and creamy. I am still trying to figure out what it is but it was really good spread all across my meal. I would 100% go back again/recommend it to a friend. read more

Kentochi Hibachi - Japanese Near Me - Albany, Oregon

Hibachi chicken and steak every bit as good as Benihana's! I love the flavorful morsels of chicken and tender vegetables.

$13.50 is quite a lot, but it is DEFINITELY worth it. Although it is just a hibachi food truck, it's better than any hibachi place I've ever been to. Their sauces are made of magic -- seriously!! Really good quality meat and vegetables! :) Will come here for lunch whenever I can for sure! read more

I've ordered Kento and had it delivered by Munchys twice now. The first time I shared the steak and shrimp plate and an order of the chicken gyoza with my mom. We were both very impressed. Simple food but so fresh and obviously high quality ingredients. Their Yum sauce tates like it's sweet chili sauce mixed with mayo? The gyoza were VERY delicious and the sauce they come with was awesome. The second time I ordered the veggie plate, i didn't realize it comes with tofu. I'd never had tofu I particularly enjoyed. Until now! It was so good! You've gotta try this truck! read more

It's an Indonesian restaurant and the people there is very kind n friendly. What makes it better is the food is dope af.

Food is amazing and staff is super friendly. I got steak and shrimp- so tender and juicy. I can't wait to go back to this place

Perfect food and great service! The yum yum sauce is a must! I usually order the veggies & rice, which comes with tofu and it is absolutely amazing. You don't even need to add any soy sauce. read more

Quick service. Not sure if we got our food at the end of the day but our rice was kind of gummy and chicken was over cooked. The taste was good. Portion size was more than adequate. Gyoza seemed to be from a bag. Overall it was a good, average, food truck meal. I would eat there again, but it's not a must visit again. read more

First time customer today. Fresh off the grill lean steak and chicken cooked to your order. Paired with veggies and rice. A good tasty meal! Customer accessible sauces and condiments to add would be nice (think soy sauce, Sriracha, salsa-type,salt,etc). Good sized portions of both meats and sides. Prices are toward the high edge of reasonable. Also, they have a covered outdoor seating area, which would be good for hot or rainy days. Not today though, as temperatures are in the 30's. I will be back. read more

Amazing! Love the food! I always get the Steak and veggies, it fits with my meal plan. Really wish they weren't off oh Hwy 34 currently.

We have been to Kento twice in 5 days and it was amazing both times! They also were very accommodating when I had a special request. Highly recommend it! read more
