    Hibachi salmon vegetables and rice
    Angel Mari B.

    I love this place. They never disappoint. Salmon and vegetables are always made just right. The rice is on point and the portion sizes are Def well worth the price. The waitstaff are very nice and accommodating

    Great food and meal, just lacking service with a smile and ambience. Ever walk into a place and feel like you might be better off turning right around and leaving? That's how I felt when we walked in and were barely greeted by the waitress. It was 8:30 pm Friday and the restaurant doesn't close until 10, but it felt like we were entering at 9:55 pm. There were 3 other tables with a grand total of 7 people, so I'm not sure why the staff was so unwelcoming. The waitress quickly took our orders and delivered our soups, salads and (1.50 each) hot tea. I thought this used to be free of charge, but times change...Next the single sushi roll came out and the Tuna was amazing. Next the chef came out to the hibachi where we were seated alone and began to prepare our entrees. That's all he did. No flash, no jokes, no smiles, nothing. LAME!!! Usually the hibachi is fun and entertaining. Not this time. We should've just sat at a regular table since we received no pleasure from watching a bored chef prepare food as if he were in the back making the food for a take out order. Aside from not being entertained, the Hibachi Steak and Hibachi Salmon were cooked perfectly and delicious. I suppose I should be glad it wasn't the other way around since delicious food made me feel better than being entertained while eating lousy food. I used my 25% Entertainment Card discount for $11.75 off the bill, so that was good. Will I be back? Maybe. Just not after 7 pm...

    Service was great, food was really good- the atmosphere is a little lacking, but a definite improvement from before it burned down a few years ago. The great news is they're FINALLY open for dine- in since the virus devastated the country's restaurant business. i think it's still only open a couple days a week for dine in- mostly still for take out or delivery only. The food was beautiful to look at, and just as tasty. My only criticism is I wish the restaurant FELT a little more open (put boxes away, make the entrance to the eating area a little wider, put cleaning products away and off the tables, put soap in the dispenser instead of a tub next to the sink). the people who work here are really great people, very friendly- i watched them handle a tough customer tonight- i was afraid they were doing a dine and dash- wow! The Tuna tataki was also for pepper lovers- definitely cleared out my sinuses! Otherwise nothing else was too overwhelming as far as flavor goes. Enjoy the pictures!

    I know it's too soon to judge and I am staying hopeful, but this place really has shocked me. Why? Because it's down the street from my home and the sushi quality was really good....I know everyone raves about Miso in the area and it's other sister stores but the last two experiences I've had here have been impressive. Impressive enough that I might just start buying sushi here since it's down the street. Now it does look a bit divey and it is in a strip mall across all the medical centers. I have also heard several people say it's hit or miss. So far I am thinking thursday and fridays are good sushi days and maybe even the weekends? I need to test the weekend theory though. Parking is a little sparse but doable and it seems like they are family and kid friendly since during my lunch time we had little ones running rampant. They do only have 2 bathrooms so ...if there's a lot of families expect a wait. They also have an option to order online which I tested and was successful for dinner takeout. They were super quick with my to go order in less than 15 minutes. Service during lunch was very attentive since its slow. Make sure to ask about the lunch menu. As soon as you sit down, they give you this freaking lovely fresh cucumber salad. We had several rolls for lunch. I highly recommend their jungle roll with whole scallops (better than Miso's)?! I thought the volcano roll here was underwhelming. Their Pink and Orange Flamingo rolls are smaller than Miso's but it seems like there's more of them and slightly cheaper. These rolls took the prize for me. I also had the tuna and smoked salmon sashimi which tasted extremely fresh and delicious as well. Bottom line, I was impressed with the quality and freshness of fish/sushi I got. Now....for takeout I got the Chirashi dinner which is on the pricey side for 18 bucks. BUT for 15 pieces of sushi and I lucked out since i think they didn't have cucumber salad and gave me 2 pieces of egg and more seaweed along with their soup? I think it was totally worth it and again fish was fresh. I definitely will be back.

    This is the best bang for your buck of all hibachi locations. The cooks are fun and the food is delicious! It's a tradition that we go here when my brother in law's mother is in town. She is a fan and they are always so nice and they remember her. That's a good touch. This location is cozy and intimate. The place is updated and clean. They are also very considerate when you have kids with you while you order hibachi. My nephew is known by the cooks here. They always make him a little plate with rice and veggies and meat cut up in small pieces. I think this is very nice of them. Sushi is always delicious there and they have a menu board outside with their specials! They always have coupons so keep an eye out!

    I've been here many times, but finally decided to leave a review. The staff here is so friendly and the ambiance is relaxing. You have your choice of hibachi or sushi. The hibachi chefs really put on a good show and their skill is amazing. The sushi menu is extensive and they have lots of raw and cooked rolls to choose from. As soon as you are seated, they bring out a cucumber salad. It's so refreshing with a mild & sweet vinegar dressing. This visit I had the volcano, smoked salmon with cream cheese, and the shrimp tempura with eel & avocado rolls. All three were delicious. The quality of the fish is great and the sushi chef rolls them well. I've never had one fall apart on me here. It's not byob, but they have a good drink list. This is one of my favorite sushi places in the area.

    way back in the day....

    I have been going to this place since 1999, it has excellent food. They have great sushi and hibachi and they really put on a show when you order and sit down at the hibachi table. The thing i like the best is when the chef takes the onion, cuts it up, flips it over and builds kinda liek a volcano, puts whatever, wine in it and lights it on fire. They also play around, like with the small water bottle what's shaped like a football player, that "pees" water on the grill to clean it. They regularly advertise in the Clipper Magazine and in the Patriot-News for 15% off entire check, so its definately worth it. The people are very nice and courteous. One of their waitresses has been working there for like almost a decade. We use the all you can eat sushi special, so it really is worth it. "The royal club" which is only 23.95 per person but its all you can eat, with the exception of lobster and a few smaller items such as edamame and spider roll. and you just get at least 5 TNT rolls and its worth it. Ricky, Pink Flamingo, Orange Flamingo, Wang's you name it, black dragon, their rolls are fresh and tasty! The sushi man himself is very polite, and always talks to my mother-in-law (also chinese) very respectfully. They usually start you off with a small cucumber & crab dish, a hot towel and if you order hibachi or from the menu you get onion or miso soup. They also have a selection of wine and alcohol, before that they had BYOB. I have only had stuff once there. You can order domestic, imports or japanese beer. If you look at my photo uploads they had a free all you can eat invitation event on christmas one year, it was for all the royal club members, it turned out to be really decent, all the parking spots were full, and there was literally no room left, we waited in the corner for awhile till a table opened up and finally got to sit down. cant go wrong with free sushi! regarding the layout / landscaping = this used to be a 7-11 conevience store back in the day, it closed down and was vacant for a number of years, it has been the Tokyo Diner for at least 10 years, since 1998 or longer. The other relatives of this guy have since opened up their own branches in York, Mechanicsburg, Hershey and Selinsgrove. It is right behind Lowe's & the BP gas station in Union Deposit, and right now it actually looks good compared to before. The reason it's like that now is because they added booths, and moved the enterance down a door, it actually is 2 addresses, one building. the Ancient China Tea Bistro is also owned by them, it was to be branded as another business, and they had a grand opening, but I think not that many people understood / knew it was there, so it eventually closed (it was basically the same building, same kitchen, same workers.) but it really was nicely laid out and done up, with new fixtures & equipment and a huge tv, and shelves. Also: they have toys and stuffed animals all over there, they werent always like that, its since 2005. but I remember at that party they gave everyone for free. I dont know if they're for sale or decoration.

    The food was great for the price we paid! However we could hear multiple employees loudly clearing their throats and what appeared to be throwing up in the bathroom and then going back to the kitchen. Pro tip: don't sit on the half of the restaurant near the toilet, also I had to walk to the bar to get a refill after having two empty glasses sit at the edge of the table for a few minutes and we are the only customers

    It's an okay place. It's not spectacular but it isn't horrible. The service is a little slow. You pay for what you get at this place.

    This review is going to be play-by-play as I don't know what to think based on all of the recent…read moreterrible reviews for this place. So far, it took about 15 minutes to order drinks and dinner. (I was told about the fried rice up charge and only steamed rice is included with the entrees). There is one full hibachi (11 people) next to us and ours is us (2) and another couple. Two other tables have already finished and are leaving. Soup is here quickly and it's excellent with those caramelized onions on the bottom. Salad is out before we finish the bowls of soup. No chopsticks on the table, we'll eat the salad (needs more dressing, but good) with the fork which was wrapped inside the napkin. Now, we are enjoying watching the chef prepare our meals. He is very entertaining and friendly. My meal, Mr. Hoc's Treat, was a chicken and New York strip combo. Excellent and the accompanying veggies and fried rice totally on point. Upon conclusion of the meal I can say 4 stars maybe 5 with quicker service. The traditional Japanese decor is nice but a little dated. We both took to-go boxes with lots of leftover food. Two meals each basically. Very happy with this dining experience and we will be back, maybe for lunch one time.

    The food was decent. The seafood lovers is a great choice. The ambience and landscape is awesome…read more Busy however the food service was poor, about 2 hours to receive full plates of food. Food taste 8/10 / service 9/10 / food wait 3/10
