The waitress told me they don't have any and thet Are hot, too! So hot. The manager, who Speaks no English (the girls say he points and grunts-how lovely!!) turned off the lights while we were still eating at 1:50! Avoid this place like the plague.

I got steak that I requested be cooked medium but was well done. My wife got steak and shrimp. The shrimp was good but steak was also well done and there was more mushrooms and onions than steak. The rice was ok. I don't think we'll be back.

The restaurant wasn't packed, but it was a pretty decent crowd. It took about 20 minutes for my order. Food was pretty good no complaints. The second time - I decided to eat in. Ordered the exact same thing with the exception, I ordered the country roll! Same thing, it took about 20 minutes for my main course to come out. Sushi was GREAT (Tasheena, the waitress, suggested it)!!!!!! My order: Chicken Hibachi no zucchini - came with grilled onions, soup or salad, noodles, and white sauce. The difference for the most part was the amount of food. You definitely get more if you eat in versus if you just do a take out order. Either way, I'm definitely going back. ...I forgot to get a picture of my MAIN ENTREE while eating at the restaurant (face palm).

The food was just OK, but given the portion size and service, it would be a great bargain for anyone looking for a meal to fill you up. They use American rice and it's slightly undercooked. The meat comes with a sweet sauce, possibly a teriyaki standard and it's on the salty side. They did give me a side of ginger sauce. This is located in the food corner downtown. There's ample parking space but for anyone with a disability, you do have a little ways to walk and two doors to get through. The hibachi plate comes with meat, veggies, rice, and noodles. It appears they use regular spaghetti noodles instead of Asian noodles. Both the noodles and rice were crunchy.

I then asked my boyfriend what he recommended and he said, Hibachi House. I looked on Yelp at this place and the ratings are no bueno, but my boyfriend insisted I try it for myself and I not base it reviews. I was extremely hesitant, but took his word for it. I order the dinner combo plate which came with rice if choice and 1 entree and egg roll. I ordered sweet and sour chicken with bbq pork fried rice. The staff was friendly and even help with suggestions. The restaurant itself is super clean, but when I went it was only 2 people dining in and 1 person picking up Togo. I get my food and the portion are okay, I don't think it was worth $12 for what I received. I get back to go eat it and the first thing I notice is there is absolutely no bbq pork in my fried rice. The other thing I noticed is my chicken definitely wasn't sweet and sour chicken. My boyfriend tried to make excuses and was like just try the food.. ugh! I try the chicken first and yep! It wasn't sweet and sour, but orange chicken. I will say, the chicken was tender juicy and very flavorful. Now to the fried rice... it was a complete disappointment. The rice for 1 was undercooked there were no bbq pork in it, it was just cooked in soy sauce with an unnecessary about of chopped onions on it, it was disgusting. I hate to give it 2 stars, but I should have went with my gut and went somewhere else. This place isn't it. Save your money and good elsewhere.

It's also worth mentioning the person who took my order has to ask someone else if anything was in the fried rice when I asked. This wasn't the typical hibachi I am used to and was much closer to regular Chinese food than hibachi as far as how it was prepared and its taste. I may go back to try a Chinese dish but certainly would not recommend the hibachi. This is ironic considering the name. The customer service wasn't out of this world, but no one was mean, rude or disrespectful.

You get a pencil and a sheet with all of the options on it. Pick whatever you want, turn it in, and in a flash they have it ready for you. I honestly have no idea how they can plate something so good and presentable in the amount of time they do it in. Commendable! And the quality of the ingredients, especially the sushi, is top notch. I got the salmon poke burrito, and this thing came out loaded and large. They definitely do not skimp on the fish or the fixings. Compared to similar poke burrito options at other Greensboro locations, this is the biggest by far. And for $12 (1 protein) it's an amazing deal for what you get in both quality and quantity. They also have a variety of options for bowls, boba, milk teas, smoothies and other drinks. This will definitely be a spot we come to often when downtown and in the mood for something light, healthy and super tasty. And many times, we eat a large meal prior to a Tanger show and feel weighed down and tired. This could be a great pre-show pit stop if you don't want to deal with food coma while watching a show right after.
