This place has a lot going for it. First off the staff is very friendly. The cashier was very nice and the staff all waived by as we left. I am so used to disaffected youth serving me with a depressed look that it stands out. At one point an employee came by with an order and giggled when we looked at her expectantly. It was cute and funny. The menu is not too large, but they have some real nice items to choose from. I ordered a shrimp bowl for my wife. They come in two sizes and the small is a good portion. For myself I ordered a TNT roll and a Shrimp Tempura roll. I usually eat my rolls with some soy sauce, but the Miyabi sauce is real good. I found myself using it quite a bit. The menu says 8 piece roll and they short changed me on both rolls since I was a take away order. I would suggest counting before leaving. Minus that this place is pretty good. I came in on Friday night and waited about 15 minutes for them to make our order. This place is also pretty clean and has a ton of parking. read more

Very delicious hibachi style food - I enjoyed the sirloin steak with mushrooms, side of zucchini and onions, and rice. The dish came with 2 sauces - I chose their Mayo based (most popular) and spicy (similar to sriracha). Overall, a delicious and super filling meal! read more

Very expensive for tasteless food. My son ordered filet and chicken and even he said it had no taste....he said "it was alright but that's being kind". I ordered the chicken bowl and the chicken was dry and had no seasoning of any kind on it. The one positive was you can get only zucchini without onions for the veggies. First hibachi restaurant I've ever been to that had packaged white sauce. Will not go back. $50 with tip for lunch and only the zucchini had any taste. read more

Miyabi Jr. Express - Japanese Near Me - Leland, North Carolina

Over four years since moving to Leland, I have never tried this place. I ordered the Chicken Yakisoba. It was fine but too sweet for my taste. I prefer a savory dish and keep the sweets for dessert. Next time I'll have to ask for suggestions for other dishes to try. The woman at the counter was very nice. I liked that I didn't have to clean my table. read more

I would give 0 stars if i could. I went there today and i ordered spicy tuna rolls, now what could go wrong with spicy tuna rolls. I will put it this way before i describe what i got. I could buy spicy tuna rolls at Harris Teeter across the street and it was 10 times better. What i got was 8 squarish rice blobs that had a tiny center of tuna and a squeeze of Sriracha on each one to make it Spicy. What a joke, I ate 2 and could not just bare it so i took it up to the counter and told them this was the worst excuse for sushi. They promptly grabbed it and threw it away then said thank you as i walked out the door. No attempt to make it right. This is MIYABI Jr in LELAND, NC. read more

I visited Miyabi Jr. Express in Leland and ordered a Hibachi Filet mignon & Chicken with vegetables & rice. Out of 5 I would give it 4.8 For express hibachi, the dish had awesome flavor and honestly one of the BEST hibachi's that I have had in the Wilmington/Leland area. I highly recommend Miyabi as I have also tried other food such as their bowls in the past and they were on point Customer service was top notch with a very welcoming atmosphere. There is also plenty of parking since the location is in a shopping center! You definitely need to try Miyabi Jr. Express read more

Miyabi Jr. Express - Filet mignon & Filet Mignon and Teriyaki Chicken - Japanese Near Me - Leland, North Carolina

I consider this a healthy meal! Excellent filet mignon hibachi, assorted veggies & white sauce! Over the years I have asked them to add or delete various vegetables & they adjust easily & accurately. Only rated as a 4 due to the total lack of any ambiance in my opinion. Glad of attention paid to the food quality which is most important to me! I always check a restaurant or take out rating as it must be a prominently displayed certificate! Although this looks mostly like a take out place, many customers do stay & eat at more than enough tables provided. read more

I order from this place once a week. I get a large entree with extra veg and a side of rice and package it up in smaller Tupperware for my lunch over the week. This last trip they forgot my side of rice, when I went up there a few days later to correct the issue the girl at the counter told me that bc I didn't call the day I placed the order they couldn't correct the situation. I came in with the receipt on $35 order and she asked me to come back again when the manager could be reached. It took me 4 days to get back over there to address the issue so coming back that same day or even in the recent future wasn't an option. It's a side of friggin rice! I went right over to indochine and got a side of rice from them so I could finish the rest of my meal. Lost a loyal customer over a $3 mistake that could have easily been rectified. It's simple, I paid for something that I didn't receive and have the receipt to verify my purchase. Correct your mistake. read more

My mom and I went to Miyabi JR and got a gift card from someone for Miyabi Jr & when you go to use it the cashier told you there is nothing on it? Even after providing the receipt showing the balance purchased the cashier suggested that I go to the giver and ask them what they did wrong! Sounds like a scam to me ... I'll never come back read more

We did a pickup and food was ready in 20 minutes. Pretty fast service and easy to order food online. Everything is pretty expensive nowadays anyway so it didn't surprise us to be spending almost $30 on two meals. It was completely fine though because the meals were a decent sized portion and it tasted pretty good. Everything was hot and flavorful. read more

Great fresh food! Stumbled in here just wanting something healthier for lunch & what a great surprise! Super clean inside, easy menu & seriously fresh hibachi (they have some rolls too). The cook is in full view & it's just like the sit-down hibachi grill but FAST! Great healthy alternative to fast food. My shrimp + chicken + veg + fried rice meal was enough for 2 meals at $15 apx total. I'll be back! A lot!! read more

Miyabi Jr. Express - Hibachi grill, cooking in full view. Just like sit down hibachi but FAST! - Japanese Near Me - Leland, North Carolina

We LOVE Miyabi! It's so easy to order online and then go in and pickup. I always order the hibachi shrimp and teriyaki chicken, my boyfriend always gets the hibachi steak and hibachi chicken (he doesn't know how many of the mushrooms I sneak because they're so good!), and we get a side of the white sauce and a side of broccoli. It is always delicious and filling and hits the right spot perfectly!! Highly recommend! read more

I moved my work area and in turn needed to locate a couple new places for dinner meals. I stopped in Miyabi Jr Express for my 1st visit. I enjoy Asian food and usually it's more than 1 meal worth. I was right. Not only did I fill my belly at the restaurant I took 2 to-go boxes back to the hotel for another full meal. I ordered the Hibachi Shrimp with Fried Rice, onions and zucchini along with an order (2) of Spring Rolls and yes, I had to try the sushi so I ordered the Crab roll. All was very, very good!! The crew were polite, respectful and attentive to all their customers that I witnessed. Definitely worth a visit if you like Asian food and not a long wait. read more

Great chicken teriyaki. They give so much meat!!! I love it so much. they also have great customer service. this plate was $13. WHAT A GOOD DEAL!!!!! some places skimp on the meat; not here. it's worth the price. I'm thinking about going there right now bc it's THAT good. read more

I get back to my home after driving 20 minutes to go pick up my hibachi chicken entree. I open it to find a chicken teriyaki. no big deal this has only happened one other time out of 50 times ordering hibachi chicken here. the first time I just drove back and swapped it out. this time however I did not have time to drive back and I do not like teriyaki chicken which is why I have never ordered it. I called and told them what happened and the manager warren said the only thing they could do would be to swap it out and I had to drive all the way back there. I had mentioned I could not drive back there tonight and she said as long as I bring the plate in they will swap it out at a later date. I laughed thinking she was joking. When I realized she wasn't I felt completely disrespected, as if she was treating me like i wasted a hour on my Friday night yo get a free $12 meal. Mind you i tip on take out every time i order from this fast food establishment. Terrible experience Warren... I will be driving into Wilmington for my hibachi from now on. ps. I have ordered over 50 hibachi chicken entrees from this one restaurant, never once ordered a teriyaki chicken in my life and never called them for a single refund only to be told "they think I said teriyaki chicken." I am a very simple person but this one really hit me. read more

i love this place. i'm always in and out, the staff is very kind and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice and welcoming. the food is really good too read more

Really good hibachi that is made really quickly! Sushi is good! Decent prices! Go try it!

Very fast and efficient service. Food is always tasty. One of the things I appreciate most is the plastic ware. Each piece is individually wrapped keeping it clean. Very thoughtful on the part of the owner. read more

I got really bad food poisoning after eat the chicken and rice i couldn't sleep with how much throwing up

I dined here a few weeks ago and would say I'm glad we now have this as an option in Leland. I ordered hibachi steak with the usual rice and veggies. The girl taking my order forgot to ask me how I'd like my steak cooked and I had to go remind her that I'd prefer it rare. That seemed to throw a wrench in their process and she seemed to have a hard time figuring out exactly which order was mine because they were VERY busy. It was no big deal ultimately. The steak was a little overcooked for my liking but it did have good flavor. The veggies were very crisp still which is great! However, I felt the rice lacked a little bit of flavor. Not bad by any means, just not the best. The restaurant was very clean and the line moved along smoothly considering they were very busy! read more

Food was just okay I've had a lot better from quick order hibachi places else where. It's nothing to brag on or write home about and is certainly not worth the attitude from the employees who apparently don't know the difference between chicken and shrimp which should be a very frightening thought for readers. I ordered 3 entrees 2 shrimp and 1 chicken and steak. Seems simple if that's all you do is make a few of the same menu items day in and day out. Well not for this staff especially who I'm assuming was a manager. I received the 2 shrimp entrees didn't realize the third was missing until I got back to the hotel across the street. I called and was placed on hold for 3 and a half minutes finally when I was pulling in the parking lot a female came on the phone. I explained what happened and that I was pulling in at the moment. Now most places would accept their mistake but Not here oh No! She acted like I was trying to fleece her for a 150$ wagyu steak dinner accompanied by a 300$ bottle of champagne. The woman proceeded to argue with me about what I had been given acting like it was MY mistake! After explaining the order and what o received with her arguing and disputing my claim completely the entire time I was now in the restaurant where she continued to argue and dispute what I had received. I did indeed challenge her to walk across the street to the hotel and if she could find 1 morsel of chicken in the containers that I had been given 10 minutes earlier I would give her a million dollars. She continued to argue and dispute what was given to me by her staff that messed up the order to begin with. This went on as I kept saying I don't want anything from you except what o paid for (multiple times o said this) finally seeing I was not going to let this go she acted like I was the one in the wrong and finally agreed to fulfilling the missing order after I did tell her if she did not know the difference between chicken and shrimp she did not need to be working in the food industry. She said she would fulfill the order (again, as if I was the one in the wrong on all counts and was trying to take her first born from her) the cook prepared it and she had a teenage employee pack it up and give it to me. NEVER did she apologize I'm any way or offer any kind of customer service (actually the complete opposite!!!) the only thing she added to the situation was to insult and insinuate that I was trying to take something I was not entitled to when all I wanted was what I ordered and what I paid for and tipped the employees for. The rest of the staff took their cue from this one employee as they starred and whispered about me the entire time I had to wait for the missing order to be fulfilled. SO UNPROFESSIONAL and IMMATURE even for fast food employees and very very wrong to do to a paying customer when the ENTIRE ISSUE WAS THEIR MISTAKE!!!!!!! Even if this food had been better than decent I would never visit here again or ever suggest it to anyone when there is plenty of good places near by to eat. read more

The best hibachi in the area! Perfect for a quick take out dinner and the portions are always great.

The best hibachi in Leland. Fast, fresh, affordable, and packed with flavor. Sauce bar was a nice touch. Dine-in or takeout! Plus clean bathrooms. Will be a frequent customer for sure. read more

Good food and they are willing to leave off the rice, if requested. Meat and veggies are well cooked. Great for a quick meal. Usually get take out. read more

I just moved to town and found this little place right around the corner from my apartment. I love how easy it is to get to. Lots of parking. The inside was nice and social distance was being enforced. Lots of great menu items. I went with hibachi steak and shrimp. It could have used a tad more seasoning but it was pretty good and the steak was cooked perfectly. I can't stand chewy steak at Hibachi place. I will definitely come again and try some other items. read more

It was fine. Got a little sushi that was very skimpy on the fish and heavy on the rice....but it is inexpensive so ya get what ya pay for.

We Have dined here 6 times. Both the food and service are great. On Saturday and Sunday the special in shrimp and teriyaki chicken for $7.99 regular price is $10.50 read more

Miyabi Jr. Express - a menu for a restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Leland, North Carolina

One of my quick go-to places for lunch. It's Miyabi's fast food style. This place is clean too. Walk up to the counter, order from menu above or on counter, the cashier gives you your drink there along with a pager. The card machine they have has a delay so wait until they tell you to swipe. Sign on screen with your finger. Sauces are to the left of counter. After your done leave your mess on table and they clean it for you. Tip jars are at the counter. On a side note, if you want a drink refill you have to find someone to refill behind the counter. It would be nice if they had self serve, because the counter gets busy and you could be standing there for a minute waiting for someone to help you. The chairs are loud and there's no avoiding the scraping, hair standing, noise all over the dining area. read more

The chicken did not taste done and the rice was cold. The service was awful. No type of people skills read more

So glad I came here on my way home from traveling. I got the hibachi steak and chicken. Comes with brown rice and lightly Saturday veggies. Food is really tasty. The chicken and steak were perfectly cooked. They also offer a few sauces you can add on your own to flavor your meal. I really liked this option. Delicious food and friendly staff. Clean restaurant, clean bathrooms, very bright and nice decor. read more

The box isn't even full I am extremely disappointed in the fact of how much money I paid for this not to be full. This isn't $15 worth of food. I've had better where the box was exploding. read more

It is good but I have eaten it twice this week and been very sick. They have quick service and I only eat seafood so I get the shrimp. It is actually $3 more than a place down the road and is less food. Their staff is very efficient for the takeout during covid. It is good, and they do not charge you for extra sauces. read more

It must've been an off day but this food was flavorless, steak was gristle, and the portions were mostly rice /: Very disappointed after craving some hibachi and getting lackluster food for a hefty price. read more

This place is over the top. Went in one day about 3 pm as Papis next door was closed. Figured this was just your typical Japanese Express hibachi on a box. It is not. Much better than your typical sit down hibachi restaurant. I had the filet and shrimp. Came with perfectly executed fried rice, stir fry zucchini and onions, rare , nice cut filet, and tender not rubbery shrimp. I was very pleasantly surprised and pleased. Definitely would recommend ! read more
