Tried the cold soup noodle, which is a summer season special. Very chewy and elastic noodles, and the broth is refreshing. Also ordered a bulgogi beef and spicy pork - generous portion size, great flavor, and quality meat. On top of everything, the food is very reasonably priced, despite everything nowadays gets more expensive. The store is conveniently located in downtown Mint Hill. Plenty of seats, cozy, and a great family vibe. The staff were super friendly, quick, and helpful. Definitely will come back again for other dishes - so glad to find a good Korean spot in Mint Hill!

We hadn't been here in about a year and decided to bring our cousins from out of town, which made…read morethe experience even more disappointing. We honestly wished we had chosen somewhere else. The food quality here was not like how it was years ago. The biggest issue was the food quality and value. The galbi was $30 per plate and had barely any meat, mostly bones and mixed in with a lot of cabbage. The pieces of meat were extremely small, about the size of a penny, which made it feel completely overpriced. The photo on the menu showed much meatier portions, so what we received felt misleading. We have had galbi at other places with much better portions for less. The japchae was also difficult to eat. The noodles were excessively long, around 2 feet, making it hard to grab and portion onto plates. Typically, japchae noodles are cut to a manageable length. The banchan portions were very small, only enough for about two people. When we asked for more, we were told it would be an additional charge, which was disappointing. Service also impacted our experience. The waitress hovered over our table and repeatedly asked to take plates away while we were STILL eating, which made the meal feel rushed and uncomfortable. We were a party of 4 adults and 2 young kids, ages 4 and 2, and the kids barely ate anything, yet we were still automatically charged a 20% gratuity. That did not feel appropriate given the situation. I am all for supporting small businesses, but when you are charging premium prices for very small portions and the quality does not match, that is where you lose my business. Overall, the portions, pricing, and service did not match expectations. Our $183 bill would've been better off at an AYCE Korean bbq.

The food was delicious, staff was down to earth and ordering was very easy and convenient! Our friend had told us about Hasaki Grill a few times before and I wish we had tried it sooner! I'm not usually a fan of the chicken at most hibachi spots because it's usually super overcooked/flavorless but Hasaki did a wonderful job with it! My husband got the jumbo shrimp and really liked his food too. The portion size was amazing without costing an arm and leg, and we still had leftovers for later in the evening. I will definitely be going back here to try more of their menu and to see how the dine in experience is! Perfect quick and delicious hibachi spot!

My date and I found the food to be mediocre at best. We ordered the hibachi chicken and hibachi…read moreshrimp & steak plates, and unfortunately, everything tasted pretty bland--there just wasn't much flavor in the meats or the rice. To make things worse, the initial plates came out cold (both mine and my date's) which was very disappointing. My remade plate did come out hot, but by then the experience was already affected. I also didn't like that it's $5 extra for more rice, even if you're just trying to substitute it for the veggies. That felt unnecessary. The fried calamari tasted like it came straight out of a frozen box, and instead of squid rings, it was more like straight pieces of squid, which wasn't what I expected. To top it off, I found what looked like a white hair in my food and had to get my plate remade. The server was very nice and handled it well, which I appreciated, but the overall food quality just didn't make up for it. As someone who eats hibachi often, I'd say this spot needs to add more flavor and seasoning to really stand out. I'd probably pass on this hibachi spot.

They have a set menu option OR a build your own, and opted for a build your own! Staff was diligent in taking my ingredients AND preparation was FAST! All sushi burriots come with mixed greens automatically, and I ordered a sushi rice base, with salmon for my protein, with ponzu sauce (underwhelming, unsure if they remembered it), and embellished with: cucumber, edamame beans, grilled pineapple (+$.50 - not enough to be worth an up charge), and avocado (+$.75 - not enough to be worth an up charge). For the "finish it up" I opted for sesame seeds and tempura chips which I feel like should be relabeled as tenpura crisps.. but still a good added crunch! My burrito, after tax and tip, was like $21. Next time I wont be adding pineapple and avocado as I feel the cost to add did not reflect the quantity added to my burrito, but content with the decent amount of salmon pieces! Overall pretty comparable to other places, and will find myself coming back! Classic "food hall" set up, and is located in the corner by The Bar with ample seating inside and outside!

He gave good recommendations and, when there was a mistake with my order, immediately apologized and fixed it without hesitation. Very polite and professional. Now the Wonton Soup was hidden star of the meal and for less than $3!!! I ordered it without scallions, and the broth was very flavorful. The wontons tasted homemade. The wrapper wasn't my favorite, but the filling was meaty and delicious enough that I finished every bite. The sushi I tried was the Steak Tataki with soybean wrapper. The flavor was as you'd expect with teriyaki sauce, but don't expect rare steak. The sushi rice was seasoned really well, though! Glazed Shrimp Similar to walnut shrimp with a thick, sweet sauce. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, although the tempura batter wasn't as crunchy as I'd hoped, understandable once it's tossed in the sauce. I squeezed some of the orange garnish over a bite, and the acidity actually balanced the sweetness really well. The broccoli seemed mostly decorative since it didn't have much seasoning beyond the sauce. Overall, it was a good experience with great service, a nice atmosphere, and the winner dish being the wonton soup!

Our table of four rolled up right before closing (15 min late to our reservation) and we were able to be seated with a gentle reminder that the kitchen would be closing soon (totally understandable). We were taken care of swiftly and didn't feel rushed at all (we tried to be considerate. We were one of two or three tables at this point of the night). I've had takeout from here before and liked it (one of the Thai dishes). My veggie sushi roll when I dined was perfect. Service was perfect. The only thing I wished for was a few more vegan options on the menu as I expect a little more variety at an Asian fusion restaurant. Cute front patio set up too, when al fresco dining is on the brain.
