Terrible food and too expensive. We got the hibachi shrimp bento box. The shrimp were the tiniest I have ever seen and overcooked with no flavor. It came with 1 skinny shrimp tempura and LOUSY dumplings and spring roll. The salad was a joke. For $16 worth 8 read more

Food always good but you better call 45 minutes in advance! They also don't give a ton of veggies on the kids portions so just order an extra side read more

I didn't rally make it in the door. This is a bathroom, impression review. HABACHI, drew me in form the road. I'm passing through on my way home, hours from here. I needed a restroom and some good food. Opened the door and in large print, NO PUBLIC BATHROOMS sign up. I would have gone to Kroger and come back, except... There is a table right inside he door. Employees sitting there eating and lounging awkwardly said hello with food in their mouth. Yeah. I passed. Missed chance to try this place. I'm treating the 3 stars as a neutral rating. read more

This place is a little pricey but the food tastes amazing and they always have a generous portion, however I was shocked when I went there tonight and I got back home and realized that the to-go containers are HALF the size they used to be. That is not subtle shrink-flation, that's robbery. I will not ever go back if they don't fix this. read more

The food I ordered was a 10 count honey lemon pepper wing, the wings were raw and unedible I'm not a picky person but I'm not a fan of raw food. This is unacceptable. read more

All I got was the miso soup and 2 spring rolls, so I can't judge the entrees. But the miso soup tasted like it was made with just water and not dashi stalk, very plain. The spring rolls were golden on the outside, but complete mush on the inside. I would try the entrees, but it's cheaper to go to Hibachi Buffet. read more

Purchased 2 Hibachi Beef Bento boxes and a chicken for lunch. Bill was over $40 bucks - no drinks. I specifically asked if everything was there for the take-out order - they said yes. Got home and again they did not include the salad nor spring rolls! One beef was so grisly, even the dog wouldn't eat it. I like to do business locally - but this won't be on our list anymore! read more

Got the beef bento box dinner version. The service was super fast and I was able to watch exactly what was being done and going into the box. The restaurant was clean but kind of disorganized and I really did hit it at a very busy time. Surprisingly the small dining room was not very crowded mostly delivery and take-out. My order was ready much quicker than I thought it would be and they're certainly was a lot of food in the Box. By the time I got home everything was still pretty hot and for the most part it was pretty tasty and enjoyable. The beef was really tender and flavorful but I think the next time I'll try the chicken as I think it would absorb more of the flavor of being cooked on the Hot Grill. All in all a good experience worth the price just nothing special read more

I have to say the food is okay. I have to knock then two stars due to the amount of grease and preservatives in their food. I don't recommend eating their sushi, as I saw the sushi bar seemed to be rather open. It didn't look fresh to me. If you stick with standard Chinese food, you will be okay. I was generally disappointed. The only thing really excellent about the place was the clean restrooms. read more

YELP HAS THE WRONG ADDRESS ON HERE!! Might want to look up the real address because the one on here took me to a random person's house about 7 minutes away from it. Rating is for yelp's information being wrong. read more

I ordered a dinner entree, when I got there they only gave me one yellow sauce for a 16$ dinner entree. I asked for more, and she made it so difficult to get two extra yellow sauces and made me pay extra. its Always something with these people . read more

Stopped after a game. They were very busy but we got our order fairly quickly. I had chicken bowl and it was plenty of food. Hubby had hibachi shrimp. The sauce was very sweet, not what I am used too. Flavor of food was just ok. Next time, I will drive on by. read more

I had a terrible experience here. I went at lunch, and there were just a few people, so I thought it would be quick. Turns out they were doing some giant takeout order, and I ended up waiting more than a half-hour for my food. Everybody else who was there was also sitting and looking at their watches. I wish they had let me know the wait would be that long, and they didn't apologize for the wait when they finally brought my food. Then, the food was literally dripping in butter. There was a glob of butter at the bottom of the vegetables. The rice was heavily soaked with butter. Even the bottom of the container had butter all over it when I picked it up to throw it away. I've eaten at a lot of quick Japanese restaurants, but none that used enough butter that I could taste it, much less that left a greasy taste in my mouth for hours afterward. The shrimp was cooked well, and that was about the only good thing about the meal. read more

Tonight was just pathetic. I called my order in and was told 25 minutes jyst to get there after 35 minutes and waited another 35 minutes to get my order. Then my shrimp and steak plate had 6 small hard pieces of steak raw veggies and about 6 shrimps. The noodles were even skimpy. This place needs to do better with service and food quality and portions. read more

Never coming back here. This place is so stupid about giving out orders. They do not go in order they decide to jump around on the orders. Been sitting here for 30+ mins and still no food. All we had was two kids meals and two adult meals. read more

POKE BOWLS! Glad to see something in this area offering Poke! Had decent options for the bowl considering we are almost in rural Georgia. I would've liked to see more vegetable options. I also got a veggie Hibachi because it was free with my Fantastic Savings coupon book and it was surprisingly good. 1 Star off for no WiFi and slightly rude service. read more

Our family loves this place and we frequent it often. The food is delicious and the portions are large. Good value. One meal from here usually lasts me two meals and it lasts my wife 4 meals. The steak and chicken have great flavors and the vegetables are delicious. read more

I ordered a Hibachi vegetable H7 to go. While eating the vegetables there was pieces of food that I couldn't chew and it didn't feel right in my mouth so I spit it out. It was strips of raw chicken. I stopped eating the food and took it back to Tokyo express. The woman to the container and went into the back for a few minutes came back to the front and addressed me with a rude tone. When I went to show her it wasn't the same the chicken it was changed. I was upset because I could have gotten salmonella poisoning. So I reported them to the environmental health department. DON'T EAT THERE. TAKING A RISK. read more

Pros: I ordered the chicken hibachi bento box. It was great! Large portions, fair prices, and everything was hot and fresh. No complaints about the food itself. Cons: We were told upon walking in that they don't have sushi anymore. Huh? It's a Japanese restaurant and sushi is featured on the main page of their website. So, that was odd and disappointing. Although this is located in a relatively new strip mall, the interior feels old. This is excusable for a place like Inoko Sushi Express on the eastside, which has been there forever, but it was weird that it already felt 20 years old. It's also small, which I guess is fair enough given the "Express" name. We were eating in, but the food was still served in to go containers with plasticware. Again, compared to Inoko Sushi Express, which also bears the "Express" name, kind of disappointing because Inoko makes more of an effort to still provide a good dine-in experience. Overall, we'll probably go back because the location is convenient and I loved the food, but probably just for take out. And if we want "express" sushi, we'll stick with Inoko. read more

Okay, so since the food is good I decided to give this place another chance. I waited a very long time for my food last week, so I called ahead this time. I was told that the order would take 15 -20 minutes. I gave them 20, given the history. I paid for my order. It was not yet ready and I figured it would be just a minute or two. I wait and wait. I received my food about 10 minutes later after I asked if any of the to-go orders there were mine. Thank goodness I asked, or I would still be standing there. I should not have to ask for something I paid for. In ending, I did not even receive an apology for my food being left on the counter to get cold. read more

The food was decent, but the interaction I watched between a customer and the woman who takes orders (the only one who works there according to her) was one of the worst displays of customer service ever. He had picked up an order earlier this week and when he got back to work realized the meat was way over cooked. He called and they said to come back when he could and they'd replace the meal. She said she didn't have anything written down and asked who he talked to. He couldn't remember, but it was obvious he knew what he was talking about. Instead of trying to come to a resolution she just kept saying that her and one other person were the only people who answer the phone and they didn't remember. This is an extremely busy place so I doubt they remember everything. Anyway she contributed and was essentially saying the customer (who they admitted eats there often) was lying. I decided to voice my opinion as she just kept going on at the customer and let her know that it sounded like she was calling him a liar... to which she burst out in tears and got louder... I think she needs a day off... it's not that serious!!! However, you should never insinuate that a customer you know is being less than honest. read more

This place is awful the Owner is rude. They don't want your business. The food is over priced and over cooked. Horrible

They use msg and tell people that they don't use it. Some people have allergies and that could be very dangerous! Also for anyone who tips in cash, those tips go to the owners' 8 year old daughter. And anyone who puts a tip when they pay with a credit card, the owners will just keep those for themselves. They have recently started using smaller boxes, so you get less rice and vegetables and less chicken. read more

It's really good but they don't change your if the worker makes a mistake it just happened today and it's not the first time this happened

This place is just...ok. I went there as an alternative to Jersey Mike's on Monday. Monday is a day when I usually get some kind of takeout. Not saying it was bad but it wasn't anything to write home about either. Suddenly, they decided to close on Mondays. Since they aren't really good enough to change my takeout habits, I'm throwing out the menu. Bye-bye. read more

I placed an order online and they said it would be ready in 15 minutes. When I arrived 20 minutes later, they said it would be ready in a couple of minutes so I sat down to wait. After 30 minutes of waiting, I complained and my order was sitting behind the counter the entire time I was there, they just did not realize it. P.S shitty attitudes about it too read more

The food is fresh and good. Very good sauces. They are quick. DO NOT TIP because the owners keep the tip jar.

I initially came here for sushi, I ended up getting a pokè bowl. I was hesitant at first but the lady convinced me to try it. I don't regret it at all, it was good all round. Would definitely came back for more. Service by her was outstanding. read more

Surprisingly excellent food - flavorful and satisfying. It's set in a newish shopping plaza across from Athens Tech. It really deserves a bigger crowd, and I sure hope folks find it soon. I particularly love the miso soup, with tofu cubes and greens, which really hits the spot on cold days. There's a terrific Tokyo spring roll appetizer that's crispy and succulent. All the sushi and rolls so far have been great - at one point I accidentally ordered the vegetable roll instead of the spring rolls. It arrived - essentially salad in a rice roll. But it tasted yummy and light, with a hint of mirrin, and was probably tons healthier. Best of all, the prices are pretty doable for folks on a budget who still want a quick, delicious and satisfying meal. read more

Good food. However, female supervisor/manager was reprimanding a staff member for not working fast enough. She was giving the reprimand in front of customers and it was hard to watch. I eventually told the staff member she was doing a great job. Horrible management style read more

I just moved, and was looking for a good Asian-themed restaurant. I've been here twice for lunch, and ordered their Bento box both times. Very pleasant staff. Big servings, and I even had enough left over for dinner. Well balanced meal, as well, since they serve you with a fresh salad with your meal. Even when sitting in the restaurant to eat, they will serve your food in to-go/plasticware, but this was favorable to me as I was able to wrap up my own leftovers with no hassle. Recommended. read more

Fresh, not frozen, vegetables, perfectly cooked steak and chicken, and delicious potstickers (gyoza)!

If you like hibachi, this is the best restaurant that I ever had. The chicken and the steak are juicy and fresh. Also the price is worth for the portion they served. Strongly recommend! read more

Pretty good. Definitely not as good as Inoko Express. If you live on this side of town near Winterville area this place will fill your Japanese food cravings.Great for the area read more
