    Hibachi chicken with mushrooms, soy sauce on top because it was all one color before.
    Elijah G.

    I really wanted to give this more stars because the service was decent and the food was ready very quickly. Unfortunately, the food was not good. The chicken tasted like it was rapidly thawed and it was very dry. The rice had a few peas and I found a kernel of corn but other than that it was just white rice. The restaurant itself is dingy so I don't think I would want to eat inside. I did really appreciate the amount of shrimp sauce they gave me. It did not taste like traditional yum yum sauce but was in a large cup which made up for the lack of flavor. All together it's the only hibachi spot in the area so it will do.

    Kids meal teriyaki chicken!

    Food was good. Improvement would be to offer fried cabbage instead of rice for those who prefer less starch. Overall good is worth it.

It is a very small shop that also has ice cream counter. It is not separate so when they are serving ice cream, there could be a wait to order. You order, pay, and they bring your order outside to you. There is a big covered patio with lots of seating. We ordered 2 chicken clubs and one buffalo chicken wrap. Each come with sides. We had potato salad, macaroni salad and potato wedges. Food is reasonably priced and came out very hot. Very good food. Decent sized sandwiches at a good price. We definitely did wait a bit for the order, but people place online orders and come in for these as well, so you don't know how many orders are ahead of you. Busy is very good, not a complaint here. These ladies do look like they could use more help. Maybe someone just to serve ice cream, so they don't have to stop what they are doing with food orders. They have very good food and good prices. Nice stop enjoying downtown Belmont on a sunny, warm Sunday. 4 stars.

The woman taking my order was friendly and helpful as they have a huge selection. There was tons of seating available. Everyone was getting food to go due to the weather. There is a discount if you use cash with a purchase. I knew I would be in so actually ordered two things. A customer said their chicken was the best so got chicken breasts with fries and fried pickles. Also got chicken and dumplings with cabbage and corn. None of the food was a disappointment. It was all great. I had the friend chicken, fries and pickles first. Eat it like it was going out of style. The chicken and dumplings were really good with the sides. I have found a new local spot to order from. Staff was nice, food great, and overall a nice place to go grab food. I will note that although I didn't try their tea, it was highly requested while I was there and one person ordered a gallon of it. Will check out when I go back.

After scanning the menu, I decided on the OG Burger to keep it simple. I did take note that all items are sold separately if you want fries and drinks. The menu doesn't have a massive selection, which can be easier for me at times. Since I ordered the side of fries, I also grabbed the sauce bundle for a fry party! The sauces were ok, but I don't think I'd purchase them again. The burger patties had good flavor and paired nicely with the fresh onions on the burger. The cheese was melted and layered between the patties bringing it all together. To me, the fries weren't as fresh as I would have preferred, but overall did enjoy the burger from here. Seating can be difficult depending on when you visit but we were able to find a table to enjoy our meals together with no issue.
