I came here for dinner on a Sunday night because I had won a gift certificate for $25 back in December and figured I should probably use this before I completely forget about it.
The restaurant is easily recognizable by its large sign out front, but I suppose the location isn't the greatest. Anyway, we were greeted right away and seated to a pretty much empty restaurant. Now, I'm not sure if this is normal for them, but at 7:30pm on a Sunday night, I expected there to be more than 2 people.
My boyfriend and I both ordered a hibachi dinner (I got the Teriyaki Salmon, he got the Teriyaki Steak). All hibachi meals come with soup, salad, shrimp appetizer, vegetables & white rice. For $2.95 more, you can upgrade your white rice to fried rice or lo mein. We both opted for the upgrade and got one of each so we could try both.
Our chef was very friendly and entertaining and I expected nothing less since that's the whole idea of going to eat hibachi! He didn't perform a long list of tricks and he wasn't the most pristine hibachi chef I've ever seen, but it was still fun to watch him nonetheless. We got our food and started to eat. The fried rice and lo mein were good. The teriyaki steak wasn't my favorite (tried some of my boyfriend's dish), but still okay. The teriyaki salmon was exactly what I expected, so that was good. I liked the mix of vegetables and everything was cooked well.
Overall, I was happy with the food and the restaurant. I don't know if I'd make plans to go back anytime soon, but if someone wanted to try it out, I'd be game!
Went back in March and again this weekend and the food remains delicious.
Celebrated a birthday and received a free dessert.
We had the spicy tuna roll with our hibachi dinners and the tuna roll was excellent along with hibachi dinner.
Hibachi chef was entertaining, wait staff was ok.
This is our go to place for hibachi
This is a pretty decent hibachi place. I've been here a few times and have had some good meals. On one occasion, the food was abnormally over-seasoned and one in our party was served nearly raw steak. Other than that, it is pretty consistent. I usually go with the chicken teriyaki- it comes with salad, shrimp, veggies, and I get the fried rice.
This place isn't bad, but for some reason, I've never given more than 3 stars to a hibachi restaurant. Offerings were decent and standard. Steak was OK, shrimp was cooked well. Salmon wasn't too dry. All in all not a bad experience. Service was good and chefs were entertaining. Still, though I'm not wowed. Maybe I just think hibachi is way overpriced but hey, that's just me.
The food was typical to a hibachi place. Our chef was pretty fun though. Try the salmon and the fried ice cream 🙂
This is my usual hibachi spot. It is delicious, the price is a little on the pricier side, but the food delivers on the price. You can't go wrong with hibachi here.
Best hibachi ever.
Lots of things come to mind when you hear "hibachi". Usually the number one thing is: the show. The song and dance of every hibachi chef to entertain, delight, and provide an enjoyable experience. This place has an ok show, but the stand-out highlight is THE FOOD!
We came here as a result of our primary plan falling through. We decided to go to Mian Noodle House. It's a nice place down the block with some ok food, but amazing sliders. For whatever reason, they were closed. Maybe they're closed on Wednesdays or maybe they're on vacation or maybe there was an emergency, but they were closed. We walked down the block a bit to see what else we could have, and hibachi won the vote.
We walk in and are greeted warmly. I got the impression that they were happy we came in a way that suggested that they don't get much business. That's likely not accurate considering the place filled up rather well, especially considering it was hump day. Conclusion here: they were genuinely happy we came.
Sitting down you get the typical hibachi menu with the typical drinks and typical appetizers, typical desserts. We each get combo dinners.
The show happens and the chef is good. It's not the best show I've ever seen at a place like this, but honestly that whole dynamic makes me uncomfortable. What happens if you're the chef and you're just not in the mood, you had a bad night's sleep, you're cranky, your significant other broke up with you, or something else. It can feel forced and the whole time I'm thinking, "just do you bud; I don't need you to dance for me." This guy didn't seem like he was unhappy, so I was glad on that point.
The food–amazing; def best hibachi meal I've ever had. The rice was delicious. Sometimes the rice is tough or overly salty. This rice was the bomb. My steak was delicious. My shrimp were seasoned perfectly. Everyone was in agreement. Best hibachi meal ever. I couldn't get enough. When I cleaned my plate, I cleaned my gf's too. She was full halfway through.
We left full and content. I don't want to go to another hibachi ever again. Like my good friend Arnold I'll be back!
There's no point in coming here for anything other than teppanyaki/hibachi. That said, our experience exceeded my low expectations.
My early memories of teppanyaki were treasured but undramatic. Food Network specials taught me later that it's supposed to be an inherently goofy affair with more emphasis on theatrics than food. Tokyo Steak & Sushi is a perfect example – Classy? No!! The chefs are shameless! I was terrified, actually, because I don't need my chef setting an onion tower on fire and then spritzing it with a plastic figurine "peeing" water while giggling and screeching, "Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?!" (Yes, this happened.) At another table, a chef was gleefully squirting sake from a squeeze bottle into one of the patrons' mouths (the guy was really, really enjoying it…), and throwing food at children's faces, and missing.
Our chef was way calmer than the others. I guess they are aware of their audience and will tone down when necessary. Thank god.
Eight tables with flattop grills in the main room seat ~8 people each and filled up early on a Saturday night – lots of families. (Tables for the weirdos who choose to eat sushi instead are in a separate room.) Everything was clean despite the "Chinese buffet" feel of the decor. The food was not bad: not interesting in itself, but everything generally tasted fresh and healthy. We tried the hibachi steak, salmon, scallops, and whitefish. Each entree comes with soup and salad. Everything cooked up pretty fast and the scallop and steak portions were more generous than expected. I'd recommend the salmon and the steak out of those four as benefitting most from the grill treatment.
As you'd expect, this place would be awesome for an appropriately aged child. One toddler in the room started sobbing hysterically when the flattop burst into flames, but 4-10 year olds in the room were super entertained and the chefs really seemed to enjoy interacting with them. It's also great if you are a chatty person – obviously the experience lends itself better to diners who like to be chummy with the chefs.
Being neither a social butterfly nor a small child, I can think of lots of restaurants I'd rather go to at this price point. But consider that they need several chefs available to cook/entertain at the same time… it makes sense. Waitresses were attentive about clearing away plates and refilling water. It's STILL a restaurant in the crap end of Queens, but at least the food feels clean, and they embrace the campiness.
