    Proof that I made a purchase before walking out disgusted
    Thad H.

    Walked in today and placed my order with the young lady while her mom, the cashier/employee, was in the both. After getting rung up I saw the mom touching/ rubbing her feet in the both bare handed and proceeds to walk into the kitchen, pull a bowl out of the fridge and stir a bowl of whitish sauce. Instantly mortified by the poor food handling practices and hygiene. Will NEVER return. Eat at your own risk.

    a plate of food on a table

    If you are looking for a fast food type of food, this would be it. Restaurant prices and served on styrofoam. My first time in here was yesterday. Girl at register barely paid attention to me as I orders, so she did not put some of my things on my tab. The man that came in after me had ordered via phone and same girl gave his order to someone else. Love the rice I got but the other was iffy. One of the rolls I got looked old. Like it had been made and left in fridge. It was all over the container and the avocado on it was browning. As I waited for my food they had finished the food for the people in the two booths and sat it down on counter for 20 minutes as they talked and answered the phone. Love the egg drop soup but I've always had no problem with that whenever I've traveled. The ambiance is that it looks clean. The people are not friendly and check your food if you are taking it home. Not really anything impressive about it for $50

    all this moisture in my plate and my chicken was still dry as hell.

    I don't think they deserve 2 stars. Foods always been pretty consistent and I've never felt disrespected there.

    Warmish entree. Fried rice had no seasoning. Very few vegetables. Shrimp was fine but the sauce was a bit congealed.

    If you don't want super sweet teriyaki sauce on literally everything, don't go here. Get scallops?…read more Have a squirt of teriyaki sauce. Just veggies, big ole wad of teriyaki sauce. Who puts teriyaki sauce on scallops and veggies. Order Hibachi chicken, bam, teriyaki chicken. Never have I been to a Hibachi place, and I have been to a ton, and seen so much teriyaki sauce used on literally everything. Again, who douses the veggies in teriyaki sauce. I've never had such bad food at a hibachi restaurant. I mean the cook could have asked if we wanted teriyaki sauce. Nothing we ordered was teriyaki. Service, young waiter, took our drink order, brought them out and the soup and salad. Had I not asked about dressings I would have got ginger, which I'm not a fan of. When all was done and the waiter asked us how everything was. We told him that everything was covered in teriyaki and we didn't order any teriyaki. Anyways, basically two full plates taken home, mainly because we paid for them, but never again. Seriously, who covers the veggies (zucchini, onions, mushrooms) in 100% teriyaki sauce. Overall everything was just teriyaki flavored and no where close to the other hibachi restaurants we go to.

    Food was ok. Service was fine. Our server was young and definitely trying to make a living. She was…read moreattentive, and obviously pretty new to this role. She's learning and I can appreciate that. The place appeared to be clean and newly renovated. The exhaust fans and the grills were noticeably cleaner than what we are accustomed to. We were definitely grateful for that. The seating arrangements were closer than we are used to in DC/MD/VA. There were literally five people in our party (four adults and a toddler). There were also two other couples seated with us around one grill. We spent over $200.00 and the chef stole shrimp from us. (See video) Very disheartening that your employees have to steal food. We ordered the Samurai dinner, an additional order of scallops, two Mai Tai, children shrimp, chicken and fried rice, salmon and shrimp, vegetable sushi, steak hibachi, and whatever else is on the receipt. I usually make it my business to graciously tip the chef and graciously tip the server. I did not tip the chef anything because he took his own tip today. Not sure how they generally tip in Goldsboro NC but the waitress/server was super shocked by receiving a 25% gratuity. I've never had two strong Mai Tai for $9.00 each. That's absolutely unheard of in our neck of the woods. I expect for Wafu to contact me and make this right.
