Hibachi Benihana Teriyaki? I love wild chef. But ordered on DoorDash. $40! $36.99 for Yaninuku (japanese seasoned sirloin hibachi plate). It came with miso soup that looks bigger than the bowl they give you at the restaurant, and salad is probably about the same size as in the restaurant. Probably the only hibachi place around in Holland that I like. I can't think of any other places that does hibachi in Holland. read more

Wild Chef - Yakiniku Lunch - Japanese Near Me - Holland, Michigan

I ordered from here without reading any reviews. It's Really good fresh sushi. Fast delivery as well. It is a bit pricey but worth it!

We really liked this place for hibachi or sit down but the last 2 times we were here it wasn't as good. We did the restaurant not hibachi: My husband had the hibachi chicken which he always gets. I had the hibachi delicate shrimp which I also always get. The soup was good and the salad for once was not all wet with water in the bottom of the bowl it comes in. These 2 were good Both of our meals were not hot at all in fact barely warm. The rice was the warmest thing on the plate. My mushrooms (I get instead of carrots) were barely cooked & just barely warm. It was like they took them out of the carton tossed them in sauce & put them on my plate. My shrimp was cooked but also barely warm. My husband's followed suit. As I stated this is the second time this has happened . I mentioned it to the waitress & I got an "oh no". I said could you please make the kitchen aware? Not sure that happened. Guess we find a new place. I heard Mr. You is pretty good. read more

Website says they close at 10:30pm, we arrived right before 9:30pm & asked if it was too late to do hibatchi. The door says they close at 10, but they said that's just when they stop seating for hibatchi and assured us it wasn't too late & ushered us to our grill, they were actively looking on other grills for other families so we figured no issue with the time (we would have just done sushi if too late!). Our chef was very nice but pretty low energy- totally get it, near the end of the day, but we didn't get much of a "show". The food was pretty good! At around 10 they began serious cleaning of the establishment including dumping huge buckets of water all over the floor which was not the most pleasant experience while eating. When we walked out about 10:20 we had to walk out through large puddles of water on a pretty slippery floor. I wouldn't go back anywhere close to 9:30 again. Also, if you are having an event I'd avoid the back area - the decor was really lacking in that area, and seemed much nicer in the front areas. read more

Service is always great...food just as good but I must say our server Pam is the bomb! She is so pleasant and knowledgeable with the menu and suggesting options.. this is our go to spot for date night everytime! read more

We just had a party of 13 for habachi and it was overall a good experience. They brought out ice cream for the birthday person and we had privacy for our group. Prices for the most part fit the dishes and the portion sizes matched. We were in and out in an hour and 15 mins. The service was fast and great. I would certainly come back. read more

(I went here on 07/05/2025) Ordered Avocado Roll & Boston Roll! It came with a miso soup and green tea appetizer. Food: 8 Boston, 6 avocado, very small sizes. avocado roll= one note, nothing big to report. boston roll= funky without eel sauce dip. sushi rice= gummy, maybe overcooked? pot of tea= perfect temp, typical green tea. miso soup= VERY salty, instant miso packs. Cleanliness: Sticky floors throughout. Wild Chef doesn't seem to have a designated cooking area- food is prepared behind a musty display case. Service: The place was nearly empty despite my showing up during typical lunch rush. There are 4 employees total and only 1 speaks fluent English. Normally that doesn't matter but the problem is the waitress and cooks constantly misunderstand each other, causing tension and many food mistakes. I myself got a botched order- then quickly learned any request to fix it irritates the whole hive. The 2 cooks are in foul moods by default, loudly resentful of new orders they barely understand. The 2 front enders pace around and openly mock customers in Spanglish. I discreetly discouraged workplace gossip to the English fluent waitress on my way out- instant Caught in the Cookie Jar face. Did those 4 really think we can't hear them?? Drama aside, my bill was $16.70. Wild Chef has cheap food but the toxic atmosphere is too much for me. Curious as I am about other menu items, I won't give the place a second visit. read more

Absurd amount of cream cheese in the sushi rolls and I still have no idea what the strange sauce is that they served with the rice but it still haunts me read more

This place is gross. My first issue is them charging more than what is on their website. The manager tried to tell me that they have a different website. Secondly, I ordered stir fried udon noodles. What is this. It's literally gray, the chicken has no color looks boiled, and it barely tastes of anything. Definitely not worth $60 to eat garbage. Do not eat here. On top of that the dine in area smells of urine. read more

Wild Chef - Stir fried Yaki Udon - Japanese Near Me - Holland, Michigan

Sandy and I went there to enjoy a hibachi chef surrounded by other people but, sadly, there were only four of us at the grill. The chef was very entertaining and animated and ready with a smile. He missed three of our molds with the food offerings but that was probably largely due to us not being a good recipient for the food offered. The portions were very generous and we brought home enough for three meals with just two of us. The shrimp iwas cooked perfectly as was the beef, and the fried rice was delicious in and of its own flavors. We will definitely return to this wild chef restaurant and hope for a larger crowd at the hibachi. I always feel the more people the merrier and the greater the laughter as you exploit the chefs skills, which is why he is there to create happiness for us all! read more

The service is so speedy, and the workers are so kind! The food is so amazing, and fairly priced for sushi. The general ambiance of the restaurant is just cozy and amazing! read more

Ford wise: Descent spot, wasn't terrible but didn't blow my mind either. Service: Terrible. Bad communication between management and staff. Even had a slight argument in front of customers. read more

Been there twice with family members because they like this restaurant. Not my favorite place. I find the good to be bland. The restaurant was not very clean. They service was good though. read more

My guess is that the Chinese food and hibachi would have been a better choice than the sushi. I was not impressed with the spicy tuna roll that looked and tasted like spam, so I complained and ordered the salmon roll which was better, but not all that good. It was a Monday so perhaps that was part of the issue. Was charged for the mostly uneaten spicy tuna roll. I'll never return. read more

Great experience for lunch on a Thursday! My wife and I met some family members for lunch here today! The hibachi grill is awesome! We both had chicken hibachi lunch special which came with chicken, fried rice, candied carrots, a salad and onion soup. I opted to just get the salad. The salad came with a sweet ginger dressing. The dressing is good but I should of got it on the side. They put a lot of dressing on top of the lettuce. The lettuce is just iceberg. I wish it was romaine or spinach was mixed in. My wife enjoyed the soup. We both loved the chicken hibachi. The fried rice was prepared for us and another family member with no eggs. The fried rice was delicious! We absolutely loved the carrots. The chicken was flavorful, moist and delicious! A very fun experience for lunch! I highly recommend coming here for lunch! We wish we would of asked to include some broccoli or mixed veggies as well into our chicken hibachi. read more

Wild Chef - Chicken hibachi lunch special - Japanese Near Me - Holland, Michigan

Customer needs to listen to what customer orders on the phone. They like to jump into conclusions.

Oh man. I love hibachi. This was NOT a good place. Like run far away. I had to leave after waiting 45 mins for just the chef, okay fine. Got a call I needed to leave. So we did ours to go... on the way home I opened it up. Over cooked steak.. tasted like burnt charcoal. The chicken was smothered in gravy and the salmon... was dry as can be. I spent $60 to be incredibly disappointed. I can't turn back and return but I wish I could. This food cannot be salvaged... the rice wasn't even cooked all the way. No seasoning will fix this. Please if you're on vacation.. go far away from this place! read more

Benihana style place with a sushi bar. The ambiance is a little down market from a Benihana, but it's also much cheaper, so seemed like a good value for the money, and make sure to use the $20 yelp offer. The food was decent, and the hibachi show was good. The service was good as well. They have a fun vibe, and all the adults at the table got free sake shots which helped the place be pretty lively. read more

Wild Chef - Filet, chicken and jumbo shrimp with fried rice and veggies - Japanese Near Me - Holland, Michigan

To call this place a dump would be a compliment. The day I visited for lunch, the aging front door was broken and off its hinges. The parking lot was dirty , in need of pothole repair and strewn with garbage. The interior was dated, did not feel clean and then it got worse - the food arrived. The hibachi chicken pieces were tough and coated with a tasteless pasty sauce. The only hibachi this chicken saw was when the waitress delivered my meal by walking past a grill! The fried rice accompanying the inedible chicken pieces was bland and flavorless and gummy in consistency. Stewed sweet slices of carrot were included and between the baby food texture of these carrots and the artificially sweetened sauce, I had flashbacks of eating chow at a geriatric prison facility for the toothless. Unless Benihana takes over this place and refurbishes it, I...will...never...go...to...this...place...again. read more

Very good food! Awesome folks working there. It was a snow storm and they accommodated us and the food was amazing.

Had lunch here about 3 hours ago and I've had a stomach ache since. I don't think the sushi was fresh. I was disappointed that my sushi/sashimi lunch didn't include tuna. Maybe the hibachi is better. The only reason they didn't get 1 star is because the service was fast and polite. read more

Wild Chef - Sashimi and sushi lunch...includes miso soup and salad. - Japanese Near Me - Holland, Michigan

I travel for work here and there and when find myself in Holland, Michigan I gravitate to Wild Chef. The main reason why I like this place is their sushi is actually very enjoyable, good taste, good presentation, good prices, and on Wednesdays they do half off sushi rolls =) I have not however done the hibachi yet, but maybe one of these days. The service has always been friendly and timely. The reason I didn't give this place 4 stars is the ambience is a little outdated and a little dark, and there's like a thousand polaroid pictures on the wall that in my opinion make the place look a little tacky, but alas I respect the opinion of the owner that decided it was a good idea, which is why it's not a big deal and I eat there frequently. I would recommend upgrading the lighting and the overall look of the restaurant a bit, but the food itself is tasty and I would recommend anybody to stop by for sushi =) read more

Wild Chef - Imperial spread :) - Japanese Near Me - Holland, Michigan

Great Lil hibachii joint. And not that little actually it goes back for a ways and has six or more hibachi stations plus plenty of seating for non hibachi. The chefs were entertaining and very talented the filet we got was cooked to perfection and there were plenty of portions to take home. The drinks were kind of watery and the overall ambiance is sports bar meets Chinese takeout. read more

My friend & I frequent this establishment as many times as we can in a year!! Hibachi is always delicious & staff kind & friendly

The sushi is awful. Why title something "spicy tuna" if it's just regular, old ass tuna minced? The only descent thing this place has is the hibachi. Everything else is garbage. How can you mess up on simple rolls.. Also what was up with the crab ragoons? It was literally 4 pieces of tempura fried batter with a shit ton of cream cheese stuffed inside and heavily doused in spicy Mayo. Come on. Do you want people to come back? Obviously not. read more

One of the only, if not only, place in Holland for hibachi. It's been around for years and there's a bit of a decline regarding the place itself and its staff when it comes to service. Food still remains to taste good, so I'm happy with that, along with the prices. 2 stars knocked off because the hostess could care less about her job - she had a poor attitude, was throwing menus onto the table, and failed to say thank you as we walked out because she was busy on her phone with one foot resting up casually on her chair. So unprofessional! Please work on management to train staff and update the facilities and this place could improve. read more

Good food with a wide variety of options available! Lunch specials are a great value and much more affordable than their dinner prices. We love the yakiniku - amazing flavor! Their white sauce for rice and clear onion soup are favorites as well. read more

Wild Chef - Small place but good - Japanese Near Me - Holland, Michigan

I had no trouble getting into the restaurant on a Saturday evening. First impression is that it is generally clean but it is a small place. Service is somewhat friendly, but very slow. (While I did get seated right away, I didn't get a refill on a drink until the end of the meal). The chef we had was not really into it, and only added some 'theater' and display to the first few minutes of his cooking (the prep stage) but once the meat hit the table he just cooked and didn't interact. Finally the amount of food you get is very small compared other hibachi places in West Michigan. Osaka and Kobe in Grand Rapids give you 50% more meat than this place does - for about the same price, and the food at those two places is well seasoned and tasty. The food at Wild Chef doesn't stand out taste-wise in any way - it's what I'd expect from a food cart at a convention, not a sit down restaurant. read more

Their food is always amazing! Staff is usually very friendly, but today was one of those days. My aunt politely asked the Hibachi chef if they could exclude carrots. He responded with "you should have told the server". Which we completely understood, but it was the tone that he said it in. Never had this happen, I guess he just wasn't having it ‍ read more

I absolutely love this spot. I just moved here and I found this hidden jem. They have a special sauce to put on rice that is to die for! And their service is incredible! I would recommend their Great Lakes Sushi roll and shrimp fried rice!! read more

Half off sushi is now Sunday Food is not bad Could use a little love in decorating Could be a 4 if they wanted read more

Incredibly bland food!!! Make sure you get sauce or it will be like mush in your mouth

This is my favorite place to eat in town! Especially with their 1/2 off sushi rolls on Wednesdays and Saturdays this place is always worth it for me. The sushi is good and doesn't fall apart in your chopsticks. The sushi selection is good too, especially if you love raw fish like me, because a lot of rolls include a lot of different types of fish in it, which isnt always the case at sushi restauranta. I also love love love the fried rice here. Drizzle some of the white hibachi sauce on it and it's amazing. PRO TIP if you like their hibachi and don't really care about the show (esp if you go there as often as I do) just sit in the dine in area and order it off the menu. You get such a fuller plate! read more

Wild Chef - Japanese Near Me - Holland, Michigan

As a local, I hadn't been to Wild Chef for years. We used to take our kids there, the food was good, and the entertainment great. Sadly, this is a thing of the past. The service was slow, REALLY slow. The two $24 dollar dinners arrived COLD. The taste was very mediocre. At $75 for one drink, one appetizer, and two dinners, quite simply I will give the most honest review possible by NEVER returning to WC, one of the many restaurants in my own home town. read more

This place reminds me of hibachi place back home (southern Indiana). The hibachi show was very lack luster and I think the chef was ready to go home. We came for food though and the food definitely delivered. They have some great food we all enjoyed. Now our waiter, Yuri, was the best waiter we've had. He had the kids laughing as well as adults. Yuri definitely made up for the bad show. If you go, request Yuri as your waiter. read more

Service was great and so was the food. We got a few drinks, sushi, and hibachi dinners. We got fried sushi which was really good and One steak and scallops and one chicken and steak hibatchi. They also let you do extra rice instead of soup and salad here which I loved. And give you some noodles too! So good and heated up great for lunch too! read more

The Hibachi is amazing and delicious! Our kids loved it too!! Definitely something for everyone, and very entertaining. Their sushi is great also-must try! The sake is tasty as well--hot or cold. read more
