    I thoroughly enjoyed eating here, I got the steak, shrimp & chicken. Watching them prepare the food with the show is fire , LITERALLY! The service was prompt, everyone was kind & humorous. I like how the lights are slightly dim it really sets the mood. The portion is huge, definitely will have enough to take home. That plum wine hits

    Great cook!!

    My husband and I finally decided to try this place and it had its good and somewhat lack luster things about it. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen with pork belly while he ordered the Bento Box with Teriyaki chicken. I wasn't super impressed with the ramen since it really just kind of tasted like the noodles you can buy in the store. The meats and vegetables were great though. My husband was just raving about his dish. The service was absolutely wonderful and our waiter was very pleasant. So, overall I would definitely say we will be back. However, I will just try something different. I recommend giving them a try!

    Sriracha onion rings
    Katherine S.

    I heard good things about this place so decided to give it a try for lunch one day and it did not impress at all. The sriracha onion rings tasted like regular onion rings. I ordered the hibachi calamari lunch. The lunch was supposed to come with sauce, the waitress asked did I want the sauce and had an attitude when I said yes. The calamari was too fishy. I never once got the sauce. I was asked several times why I did not like the calamari. I literally only had one bite a day was over it. The place was not packed and it still took well over 45 minutes to get our food. The service was terrible. I never got the sauce, she said there was an incident. She shouldve told me that rather than just leaving me waiting. Definitely would not go back or recommend this place when there are several other japanese restaurants in the area with better food, service, and atmosphere

    Beef Teriyaki Bento Box
    Joshua H.

    Pleasantly surprised! We went in for lunch and it was my first time. I ordered the beef teriyaki bento box and loved it. It was full of fresh ingredients and I left full. Our service was on point as she was very attentive to our party of four. I would take my family here to dine and will be back.

    Served me low grade sirloin and tried to tell me it was filet mignon.

    Dishonest business. I ordered the hibachi filet mignon and when the chef was cooking my food I could tell it was not filet. I asked him if he was sure and he assured me it was filet. Once it was on my plate and I tasted it I was absolutely positive it was not filet... it was either low grade NY strip or sirloin. I let our waitress know and she sent the manager over.. who proceeded to tell me that they just never know what they are going to get from their supplier... which ok maybe that's true but don't charge me $36 for filet mignon if it's not. Aside from the steak, the service is extremely slow. We went in for an early dinner (5:15pm) and waited at the door for 5 minutes before being helped... another hour til the chef came.. I would recommend just going down the road to another hibachi restaurant. Their prices are high for low quality food & service. They even have little round stickers with writing on their menu showing they've increased their prices.

    We were the first people there right when they opened, so the smell of cleaning solution was still…read morein the air -- which honestly felt comforting because it was clear they had just deep cleaned everything. The floors, the tables, the seating... everything was immaculate. I even went to the bathroom thinking there has to be something slightly off somewhere (because let's be real, restaurant bathrooms usually tell the truth)... but it was spotless too. Major points for cleanliness. I also didn't realize they have hibachi tables, which we will definitely be coming back to try. The sushi itself was delicious. I ordered the OMG Roll and the Shaggy Dog Roll, and both were huge compared to what you usually get elsewhere. Super fresh and really well made. My husband ordered two rolls and basically inhaled them. Great food, extremely clean restaurant, and a pleasant surprise overall. We'll definitely be back ...especially to try the hibachi next time

    This might be the prettiest hibachi spot I've been to so far…read more And listen... they make you enter through the lake-facing door (not sure if it's intentional), but as a water lover, instant calm mode activated. Walking in felt like a whole vibe. Inside? Huge open space, tall ceilings (like 20 ft tall tall), and giant windows overlooking the lake. Super clean, modern, and just aesthetically pleasing all around. Only tiny downside - the hibachi grill side faces the parking lot, and that's what we reserved. BUT even that side was still spacious and spotless, so honestly not a deal breaker. Lake side has the open bar + regular seating, and yes - outdoor seating too. Perfect for date nights or girls' nights. Now let's talk reservations because THIS matters... Super easy, no stress. Friendly on the phone AND in person (you know that's rare sometimes ). I walked in and I was greeted immediately. They gave me the option to sit at our table or wait for the rest of our group. I went ahead and sat, and the hostess still took drink orders while we waited - love that. A few people in our party were late and we ended up short, but the staff never made it awkward or rushed us. Just patient and kind the whole time. Once we got started, our chef understood the assignment Entertaining, funny, and had us all engaged. Birthday song onion ring volcano and we went 3/3 on rice-in-the-mouth basketball (very important stat). And the best part - the food was actually fresh and delicious. 10/10 recommend and definitely adding this one to the "we'll be back" list.

The teppanyaki show was fun, engaging, and very well done, and everything we tried tasted fresh and flavorful. The sushi was also surprisingly good. I ordered the Firecracker Roll and the King Maki, and both were excellent. For appetizers, we tried the Crab Puffs and the Hayashi Style Fried Calamari, which were great starters and full of flavor. The complimentary soup that comes with the meal was pretty good as well and a nice way to start the dining experience. The hibachi itself was also very good, and the menu offers a wide variety of meats to choose from depending on what you're in the mood for. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because of the service. Our server made us feel a bit rushed during the visit, which took away slightly from the overall experience. Aside from that, the food and the teppanyaki performance were excellent, and I would definitely come back.

The undone noodles had to be premade because they were so gummy . I never had Habachi without noodles being cooked on the grill . Every state is different but yeah they were gross.. no exaggeration. They melt before you chew My veggie Habachi was good 6/10.. I wouldn't go back though . Just not my favorite I had had in Houston . The group collectively said it was okay . The waiter was all over the place and I'm sure she was struggle because we had a big party. However a native who eats here all the time said this wasn't the best they had when they come here so the food was mid . Encourage anyone to try . We all taste different !!

Both the chicken and steak were seasoned perfectly. I surprised myself and thought the chicken was beyond well. They have a family takeout meal that we will be back to try soon. The restaurant itself was very clean. People came in our entire visit to pickup their orders. They stayed busy, it appeared most locals already knew to place their orders before coming in. Happy to have stumbled across this gem.

    "That Garlic Butter Sauce? OMG!" 02-04-26…read more This place came highly recommended by one of my students who works there. He bragged about the food and said it was so delicious and that I needed to try it. I'm glad I listened, because he was absolutely right. The food is amazing! And just to be clear, this isn't your typical hibachi spot where the chef puts on a whole show and flips food in the air. Joeone Hibachi Go is smaller, with a medium-sized dining room. You walk up to the counter, place your order, and the chef cooks everything in the back. I also appreciated that you can actually see the chefs through the square kitchen window; it's a nice touch and makes the place feel more open. Customer service was great. Sonia helped me and she was welcoming, friendly, and polite. The dining area was very clean and well-kept, so I chose to dine in. The ambiance was relaxing with dim lighting, and it was pleasantly quiet: no music and no TVs blaring. The only sounds were customers coming in and ordering, the chef's spatula clanging on the hibachi grill, and Sonia taking phone orders. Simple, calm, and comfortable. I ordered the Hibachi Shrimp Bowl, which comes with fried rice, vegetables, and one sauce of your choice. I went with the garlic butter sauce and ordered a yum yum sauce on the side just to taste test it. Y'all... both sauces were amazing, but the garlic butter sauce was my favorite. OMG. The garlic flavor was bold, buttery, and just right. The yum yum sauce had that tangy-sweet vibe, and it was a hit drizzled over the shrimp, veggies, and rice. Honestly, the bowl itself was already full of robust flavor and could stand alone without any sauce, but the sauces took it to another level enhancing the piquancy. Food Rating: Hibachi Shrimp Bowl -- 5/5 I paid $13.64 for the bowl. The portions look a little small at first, but the shrimp were a nice size and I did end up full. Overall, Joeone Hibachi Go is a unique spot serving delicious hibachi bowls and sauces so good they'll make you want to slap yo mama. I love the concept of fast-serving hibachi in a bowl; it's clever, convenient, and definitely enticing. If you enjoy mouthwatering Japanese-style hibachi flavors, I highly recommend giving them a try. You won't be disappointed!
