    orange chicken
    Jasmine N.

    I'm amazed. Great price, decent sushi, even better hibachi. i'm from a big city visiting and I wish this place this place was in my hometown. Friendly people too. Philly rolls are made with fresh salmon (not smoked) which is what I love!! Great quality fish. Loved the orange chicken hibachi too - saved it for a second meal too.

    Sesame chicken with sweet carrots
    Spooky S.

    Normally I love this place their food is usually always piping hot and the carrots are so good. But today it's not good at all. The carrots are not even sweet they taste like carrots out of a can. The chicken is very dry. Most of the food underneath was cold. And the orange sauce is like colored water. Are used to love this place but doubt I'll be back now this is just not good.

    Always went with the orange chicken or the sesame chicken it's only like $5 great for the price tried the steak and chicken Hibachi it was great their sushi rolls are good for the price you can't beat it

    "Teriyaki steak and broccoli"

    I ordered teriyaki steak and broccoli with no carrots and zucchini and onion. They gave me prices of no flavor steak and mushrooms, no teriyaki sauce, no broccoli, no zucchini and onions, with extra rice. The last time I ordered here they gave me carrots instead of rice with no sauce or broccoli.

    Steak & Scallops other veggies!

    Great job Yelpers! This little joint has a drive thru!! Awesome little express for great hibachi food. I had the steak & scallops and the scallops were really delicious. Great little char on them and the steak was tender it almost melted in my mouth. Oh and by the way there was plenty of food served up WITH an egg roll. Nice plus Sakura, nice. Hope this helps others looking for a great Hibachi fix! All I can say is enjoy!

    Was a little worried at first because the way it looked, but the food is very good. You get an enormous amount for a good price!

    Chicken and Steak was bland and cold. Sushi tasted horrible. I thought it would be a good change for lunch and was very disappointed.

    We came here to celebrate a special family dinner, and unfortunately, the experience was incredibly…read moredisappointing. Everyone at our table received their food in a timely manner--except me. I ordered the hamachi kama and was told it would take about 20 minutes to bake, which I was completely fine with. However, after waiting... and waiting... and watching my entire family finish their meals, we were then told my order had been messed up because the restaurant got backed up and busy and would take another 10-15 minutes. At that point, nearly everyone was done eating, so I asked for my meal to be boxed to-go. We spoke with a manager, Chris, who apologized and told us the meal would be comped--which felt like an appropriate resolution given the situation. But after sitting there for almost TWO HOURS total, my husband and son went to follow up, only to be told that my order had been completely canceled. The reasoning? That they "weren't going to comp something and let you walk out with free food." That response was honestly shocking. I never asked for anything extra--just the meal I ordered, even if it had to be to-go at that point. Instead, I left without eating at all. The lack of communication, the excessive wait, and the way the situation was handled at the end completely ruined what was supposed to be a celebratory night. Really disappointing experience. We didn't even want to order the desserts we planned on ordering because at that point, they didn't deserve another dollar. The environment would've been enjoyable if we weren't focused on food missing and the lack of customer service.

So, we were still craving asian cuisine, and Richard suggested we go to Moto. When we walked in we were greeted by the host and led to our table. Our nice waitress took our drink orders and then we looked at the menu for an appetizer. We decided on the Firecracker Shrimp and the Pork Dumplings. The firecracker shrimp and pork dumplings were packed with flavor and had a pleasant kick of heat. Then we ordered our entrees. I ordered Yakiniku and Richard got the Emperor combo. Our food arrived and looked absolutely delicious. we started to dig in. About 20 minutes later Richard's stomach made a rumble. He promptly rose from his chair and made a beeline to the restroom. He was in the restroom for around for 20 minutes. When he came back he said he was ready to go and said he wasn't in the mood for dessert. So, we paid, left a nice tip for our outstanding service and went back home. Richard's stomach hurt for the rest of the night. We really liked the staff and service and Moto's but the food just didn't sit right with Richard's stomach.

I called & l/m 5 days ahead & the owner clearly states what times are available each day that week since they only have 5 tables. The owner called me back within an hour & confirmed our reservation. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner & she immediately wished us a Happy Anniversary & had 2 roses in a vase for us to keep. Very romantic & quiet setting. The Bibb salad with the soy & Yuzu dressing was delicious & so fresh! We had the smoked salmon roll, steamed lobster roll & tuna tataki and all were delicious! This husband & wife team restaurant is a hidden gem (it's tucked in a plaza behind a gas station, so at night, it may be easy to miss!). If you're a sushi lover & will be in Hickory, call in advance & make your reservation! We are already looking forward to our next visit in the spring when our daughter's lacrosse team plays LR!
