    Oh man...if you want a hole in a wall Hibachi with a good time and great vibes, DEFINITELY check out Mei Hibachi. We came here for my son's birthday and invited the family. We were about 17 people reservation and Mei Hibachi was able to accommodate us. The food was great, I felt like they gave bigger portions than other hibachi places. They also had a salad bar that had some fried stuff that's off the menu and actual salad that you can build. Complimentary. Which is great because why not have some extra food on the house right. The ambiance was a bit on the older side, so when I said hole in a wall, I meant how it looked. It's not done up nicely, but what they lack in ambiance they make up in service and good vibes. The owner waited our table. She was great. The place is BYOB so remember to bring your bottle. Also, if you feel like singing some kareoke, just ask the owner and she'll break out her kareoke machine. We ended up closing up with the restaurant because we had such a good time with the kareoke, the byob and the great service. Coming back soon soon.

    I would easily give this place 5 stars but there are some things off and shady about their billing system. Initially, my boyfriend bought a Groupon for this restaurant thinking it was situated somewhere within the vicinity of New York City. Well. . . there's nothing like a little trip on the bus to New Jersey. The groupon isn't exactly specific and states that it's $30 towards hibachi dinner for two. We both thought it would entail $30 each for a hibachi dinner for two people but it was just $30 off the final bill. Which they bring out of your entire meal including tip (didn't realize) and then after the fact just snip off $30 from that. So we did double tip. In some states we call that blatant theft. I guess New Jersey is able to get away with that. They don't state the tip is included anywhere on their receipt. So it's well hidden. Beware. The good: They do have a buffet of free appetizers before the hibachi dinner starts. I'm wondering if that's like an 'I'm sorry we're dicks but hey who doesn't love popcorn shrimp and sweet and sour chicken!?' Also, included zucchini fries, chicken satay, a variety of dipping sauces, and iceberg salad. The hibachi chefs were the true pros of the night. Very entertaining and very skilled. They did the whole schtick and squirt shots of sake in your mouth and throw appetizers at your face. It's a fun time. Included was miso soup, fried rice, lo mein, stir-fryed vegetables, shrimp appetizers to whatever you end up ordering for your main for hibachi. I went with steak and shrimp and he went with steak and salmon. I enjoyed the meal and had leftovers to go. It's also byob which is awesome as they have both a wine shop and a grocery store nearby in the parking lot to prep for byob. It's just a damn shame they eff up with both the pretty much pointless Groupon because you aren't saving nearly anything and the already included hidden tipping system. This restaurant would have been so much fun if it didn't leave a sour taste in my mouth when I got home and did the actual math. Yes, we left a 66% tip on what was supposed to be a $30 meal. Now, tell me how you really feel? It's a scam. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back given how long it took us to get here. Anyway, hopefully this gets rectified by the manager in the near future.

    The food is awesome and the entertainment was great. The service was very attentive. Highly recommend the place for hibachi. They have huge selection of sushi as well.

    Came in at 10pm on a Friday for sushi and ordered three rolls- Godzilla, princess roll and the spider roll. We were seated immediately. The restaraunt was practically empty. The sushi menu is extensive. One of the rolls was good (the middle one in the photo) the other two were not. Too much rice and the spicy tuna was clumped on top like a small mountain but was not good. The sushi did not taste fresh and the coating on the deep fried rolls seemed a bit stale. I was disappointed and won't be back for sushi. On the bright side, staff was very attentive, friendly and quick.

    That is my "filet" and scallops. Can't say anything bad about the veggies - the rest was not fit for an anyone to eat.

    Food was horrible. The rice was still as hard and crunchy as it would have been uncooked. Paid for filet that was definitely not filet and my portion of filet and scallops was very small. They don't care if you are not satisfied and leave all your food for trash.

    Used a Groupon and called ahead for a party of 4. Had to order one to go hibachi because I didn't order it at the table and didn't realize I had purchased the Groupon for 4. But all good, no biggie although the food tastes so much better made at the restaurant. We ended up with three chicken hibachi and one Emperor Deluxe hibachi which all came with two pieces of shrimp. All of these came with fried rice, noodles, and veggies. The food was delicious and the cook was entertaining for both adults and even my toddler. Great experience and def worth the prices!

    My family had placed an order consisting of cucumber rolls, avocado rolls, and a kani salad. All of which was ruined by the bitterness and chemical like taste of the cucumber. Now if the cucumber itself is bitter it should not be produced and served out to customers. My family is a big supporter of this place and the fact that this is our experience tonight is more than disappointing to say the least. If you guys proceed to serve bitter cucumber in the future please put a notice of that. This was not okay and I'm very dissatisfied to say the least. Do better.

    The tables are spread out and comfortable!

    This place has great options and delicious food! The service is top tier, a very fun cook and he cooked my steak to perfection. There are 4 hibachi tables so make sure to call ahead to make a reservation! I love the filet mignon and lobster combo, the noodles were nice and tasty! I'm the ambiance is your ideal hibachi place, and it's on a main road!

    Well, some things were great and some were not! I started off with a glass of water - which ch was served with a bug in the glass. I usually love hibachi and I know the meal is not all served at once but things were way out of order. The last item was the shrimp appetizer. We had several appetizers. The soup & salad were good. The spicy tuna roll needed spicy Mayo sauce. The guoyza & vegetable tempura were both good but the beef negamaki was not very good. The main dishes were good but everything was covered with too much soy sauce. Me and another woman at the table asked for more water. The waitress came over with a pitcher and filled our glasses. We both took one sip and almost gagged! It was pure salt water! We could not understand when she apologized she said she took someone else's pitcher by mistake. That made no sense! Who was being served a pitcher of salt water! Our server did not throw the veggies in our mouths. That was disappointing. I was not happy with our bill. First of all they added the tip and chose whatever amount they wanted (and we already tipped the chef with cash). They also charges us the tip on the tax! That is not proper. Also - I had a gift card for $25 but they took it off at the very end - after I was charged extra tax and tip. They should have totaled my meal, then take off my gift card, then figure what tip should be and add in tax on the food. I have very mixed feelings about my experience.

    We drove to New York from Toronto, came to Mei Hibachi Steak House. We ordered 4 sets Hibachi dinner. One lobster, one scallop, one chicken and one steak hibachi dinner. With the dinner came free side dishes/ appetizer such as fried chicken, fried zucchini, salad etc. also came with soup. We bought a groupon for $39cad for $60 worth and only can be used for Hibachi dinners. The lobster and scallop was good, rice and noodles flavorful , steak wasn't as great. The chef was great, although I saw the others seem to do better tricks. He was still good. We tipped him $10. Only to know in the bill they already applied 20% tips to the bill after . I felt this should be communicated to us first, unless this is the norm in NY? Because we were at other restaurants and they didn't automatically apply 20% tips. If I knew I would have pay another amount to the chef as that's a lot of tips for the dinner. At least this wasn't as bad as the other review who paid 66% tips.... Luckily we looked at our bill before paying.

    Not terrible food but cleanliness is suspect. The waitress was efficient but not terribly friendly. All the staff seems crabby. I ordered a Thai plate and my husband ordered a bento box. Both were rather delicious but there is some odd undertone there. The bathroom was also dark so hard to tell if it was actually clean. There are few lights on, it seems many lights are broken or need new lightbulbs. It's not cheap so I never understand how a place next to a major store would not do well. It was empty other than a family doing the habachi meal. The food was good but, something is very off.

    Its just not right... what's with all the ONIONS..  Eeek!!!

    Ok I don't usually give such low scores but i tried this place for 1st time. Pad See Yu.... omg. Awful. Tons of onions... why??? I've eaten alot Pad See Ew.... its my no. 1 when i get Thai... but I've never had mushy noodles, with tons of slices onions and, what i believe, was broccoli Raabe???? Awful. $12 badly spent.... i should've listened to my gut instinct. I dunno if their other food is good.... there were customers there and they looked content.... but i won't take any more chances. Ugh....

    While there isn't exactly an Argentine neighborhood in New Jersey, many great restaurants are…read morelocated in the northern part of the state. Argentine cuisine is a blend of influences from the Italian and Spanish immigrants with its chief national product, beef. They say the reason Argentine steak is so good is that its cattle graze on the country's plentiful pampas grass, rather than being grain-fed as American cattle are. The result is leaner, more flavorful, and more nutritious beef. One such establishment is on Moonachie Road in Moonachie, where my partners, our friends and I decided on Saturday dinner. Reservations were easily made via OpenTable. Upon entering this cozy, modern interior of Tango Steak as first-timers, we were greeted by the host and got a table right away. We were here 3 years ago when it was El Tango Argentina Grill. The vibe has completely changed. It's now darker and louder, not family-friendly. Music was at a decent volume and does seem to increase as it gets later, giving it a lounge type. As an appetizer, we started with Beef and Chicken Empanadas as well as Calamares (Calamari). For our main meal, we decided on the Extrana (Skirt Steak) with Mashed Potatoes & Chimichurri Sauce and Tango Burger accompanied with Fries. Food was good, not awesome. Our appetizers were tasty and well seasoned. The Skirt Steaks tasted fantastic with the Chimichurri Sauce. The Mashed Potatoes had a nice texture. However, some of us asked that their Tango Burgers be made medium but came out well done. The Fries were salty and very dry. Our service was horrendous, but our server was Nathaly who was accommodating and apologetic. Some of us had gotten their appetizer faster than others. The duration between our appetizers and the main meal was an hour. The food was not cheap given the portions received and the 20% gratuity added automatically to the bill. With insult to injury, their valet attendant charged $5. Definitely not what we expected, which is why we sadly can't recommend this place.

All three were fabulous, especially the calamari. Maybe one of the best I ever had. Super fresh. The sauce was for dipping the calamari. It was very good. For my main entrée, I ordered the paella Venetian. As a kicker, I included lobster. You certainly get a ton of food, more than you would probably finish. The paella included clams, paella of course, and tomato. The lobster was very disappointing. I would recommend not ordering it snd pay that extra price for something that's not very large, but more importantly, not at all good tasting. The group overall enjoyed their meals.
