Like an upscale version of a food court with each having its own building but they all share a courtyard. We've been to a couple of the restaurants here, but this one was my least favorite. We both ordered the crispy rice tuna burrito. It was huge! And it was very crispy but there just wasn't any flavor. We ended up having to ask for eel sauce for something to give it some flavor. Now the service was wonderful. There were only two people and they handled it pretty well. I also didn't like the hot sake we ordered. It tasted like a mix of wine and hot vinegar. Having said all that we are going to go back and try the poke bowls because those did look amazing!

* gluten free…read more -ordered (uber eats), 3 different tuna sushi rolls, all were fresh & excellent -the level of customer service was above and beyond & greatly appreciated: Being gluten-free, I needed to make sure that my order would be safe for me to eat. Without being able to note that on my uber eats order, I called the restaurant and was given a very thoughtful response (where she actually checked if it could be done instead of just telling me no). Then when I called back to confirm after my online order, I was greeted by another employee, who was also very nice and confirmed with me that they knew that the order was gluten-free. A couple minutes later I received a phone call from the restaurant verifying if I could have the spicy tuna roll because they weren't sure if I could have the ingredients that were mixed into the tuna. (Thankfully I could and it was my favorite!) A craving was satisfied! Thank you! PS - BETTER than sushi masa

My family and I came to Hibachi Express the other day. I ordered the Hibachi chicken I asked for…read moresome teriyaki sauce and yum yum sauce on side. It was very flavorful and a big portion. You have to order at the counter and they deliver to your table. The servers were friendly and asked if we needed anything. It was a clean dining room with big comfortable booths. The drinks were okay. It was self serve fountain drinks. We shared the pork gyoza which was real good. My Mom and brother had the edamame they liked it as well. Overall this is a good place to go for a quick Japanese meal for there our take out.

When you walk in, you're greeted with a complimentary Eddie Special, which is a tempura shrimp with…read moresauce on top..along with miso soup on the house, which was a nice touch. We started with crab wontons and Philly cheesesteak egg rolls to share, both solid appetizers but they had no distinctive wow factors. If you dipped them in the sauce they came with it gives it more flavor but on their own they lack seasoning. For my entrée, I ordered the crunchy roll. While the flavor was okay, the presentation felt a bit off and messy compared to what I'm used to from sushi spots that really focus on visual appeal. It just didn't wow me the way I expected. Surprisingly, the Eddie Special ended up being my favorite bite of the night. I also tried my dad's Ginza sushi and enjoyed his choice more than my own. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the pricing is reasonable. Overall, it's a great spot for a quick bite, even if some dishes shine more than others.

Overall for a quick lunch it was fine but I wouldn't come back.

I couldn't recommend this place more! If you're doubting, don't. If you think you'll spend too much…read moremoney, you will. But only because the food is so good and you'll want more. This is one of my favorite local spots as a Florida baby. Hand rolls are really big and you'll be full from 2-3 depending on how glutinous you are. Their smashed cucumbers and crudo are FIRE. Make sure you go during happy hour so you can feel better about spending more money there. They also have a very unique drink menu. Including non-alcoholic. I like the Lychee delight. They also are good with allergens and have lots of options for gluten free. For best portion size I'd recommend the hand rolls and starters, the skewer are a little small but very flavorful so still worth the try. I know they have live music too but not sure when, I believe they update on instagram. Anyways...get in your car and get there early so you can find parking.

SERVICE: I was seated quickly, given gracious service and attention and had a smooth experience. The food comes out quickly and the servers move quickly to keep everything harmonious. THE FOOD: although a smaller portion than anticipated, i enjoyed the plating and the appetizers. The soup was classic and the salad was fantastic! The dressing is perfect and the vegetables crunchy! The fried rice and noodles were a bit underwhelming, more oil than I'm used to and the vegetables were overcooked. The salmon was tender and melts in the mouth. Skin on. I was very amazed to see vegetables occasionally cut into shapes. Overall, I'm impressed by details such as the fish bowl bar, soup, salad, shapes in vegetables, location, and service. I would like to see the taste improve on the entree. I understand the portions and price are fair due to location.

Also threw in a House Salad, Harumaki, and finished with red bean ice cream. Overdid it 1000 percent and zero regrets. Everything was fresh and well prepared, service was on point from start to finish, and the value is hard to beat. 5/5, will absolutely be back.

Then we saw this waiter flirting with the young girl next to our table and after few flirts he finally look at us and introduced himself as our waiter Wesley .... During the whole time we were there this guy will appear once in a blue moon , so we wanted to make sure to order lots of items at once , otherwise will be in the twilight zone waiting for more food to order . Other than that the place has great lots of items to choose from and all food was great and super fresh . But definitely the service needs a big improvement

Our experience at this hibachi spot was mixed and a good representation of the "get what you pay…read morefor" mantra. Good portions, very good prices, but mediocre food. The steak in the steak hibachi was kind of raw (and we didn't order it that way) and lacked flavor. My 7 year old carnivore daughter didn't go for it after a few pieces and she loves steak. There was way too much bland fried rice and the veggies were also pretty tasteless. The Katsu chicken was probably the best but even that was only just fine and not very distinguishable from any other fried chicken I've had. Sushi was over-saturated in some type of soy based sauce (spider roll). Seaweed salad was too sweet but it was edible. Gyoza soup was fine but a bit salty. Fried Oreo desert was actually probably the best thing we tried here. Service, prices, and portions were all fine. Taste and quality were not. I needed to chug water after this. I probably would only come back if I didn't have better options.
