Excellent food And Service! The chicken was high-quality as well as the fresh mushrooms and broccoli. Perfect meal for right after you get off of a flight! read more

Pretty good stuff. The teriyaki combos were good. We didn't care for the steak egg rolls. The restaurant was clean with plenty of seating. The ladies behind the counter were very helpful and friendly. read more

Good option in an area with absolutely not a lot of options. I called in and the food was ready in 10 minutes. To go safe rice, veggies and hibachi chicken. The food was ok and definitely I'll try something different next time read more

The small portion steak and shrimp seemed tasty, but the veggies and rice were cafeteria quality at best. Sweet mayo sauce was as good as it sounds, blech. The steak egg roll thing is bland ground beef and has no real Asian food equivalent. The menu is unimaginative, bland and over-priced to the point of being insulting. I am not angry, just disappointed. Hope this serves as a wake-up call to owners. read more

This place stinks.... AC not working. $14 for bad food. Fried rice was just sticky brown rice. Vegetables was just shredded cabbage. Chicken might have been 3-4oz. No char or sear. How sad. Food was "prepared" in around 30 seconds. Save your money and buy cheap Chinese takeout for half the cost. read more

The food was just OK. The noodles and veggies were overcooked and prepared with a lot of soy. It took ten minutes to place my order, but five minutes to get my food. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Hibachi Express & Grill - Veggie tofu and rice noodles and Miso soup. - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The food was absolutely terrible! Around $45 for two hibachi meals and crab rangoon that we left on the table. Tiny bit of meat, lots of filler cabbage and canned carrots. The "fried rice" was also plain and flavorless. We left and went a few doors down to the JM sandwich shop. The hotels next to this place must be the only thing keeping them going bc I'm sure the locals know to avoid. It's been a long time since I have had a meal this bad. You have been warned. read more

The vegetables were good, carrots were sweet, and the cabbage was hot, temperature wise. The beef was tepid and flavorless, as was the shrimp.. the fried rice was in no way fried rice, it was just brown colored rice with no flavor whatsoever. We did get a packet of soy sauce from the counter and dribbled some of that on our food to make it more palatable. This place has potential but boy does it have a long way to go.. The food here is overpriced, $17,05 for one plate, not as good as in any Asian restaurant in any mall anywhere in America, We will not come again.. read more

Hibachi Express & Grill - Shrimp hibachi - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I am not a hibachi person, I dont like rice and most vegetables. So my options were zero to none at this place. But I went and tried the steak/onion/cheese egg rolls. This is the second day in row i have been here. It's worth the trip for sure just for the rolls. . 3 for like 750. Dang dang good read more

Recently, I've been on the hunt for Hibachi places since Charlotte seems to not have that many places to go at the moment. Hibachi Express & Grill is located off of Tyvola, tucked away in a business park shared by FedEx and a couple of other businesses. Proximity to the airport, surrounding hotels, and the business parks around it...this is a definite food oasis - most likely formed due to the Hornets Arena drama that used to be on Tyvola and then imploded away. The good thing is that the new City Park development is bringing housing and businesses back to the area. As far as hibachi goes, their offerings here are generous and filling.... and super fast. There are a ton of booths here to sit down and enjoy the bountiful meal. I also noticed a lot of door dash folks and people taking out so this is a popular spot. Staff are helpful and the line moves fairly fast (order at the counter and the staff will bring it to your table). I don't remember getting a number, but I think they have some sort of system in place. The hibachi is pretty heavy on the vegetables, which is rare (but a good thing IMO). Of course the "shrimp" sauce is here. I'm a dipper when it comes to the hibachi sauce, but I know people that just douse their plates in it. Overall, I'm glad there's another hibachi place in the city where they are lacking. Would I drive out here just for this particular hibachi, remains to be seen. read more

So bad I've never wanted to leave a negative review on a business or restaurant but I just cannot. The food was disgusting, and it looked like there was a 12 year old in the back cooking it for us like what. Service was generally fast for it being frozen food and there was a bunch of open random boxes scattered throughout the restaurant do not recommend read more

I spent $20 on a hibachi seafood dinner. The food was tasteless and very disappointing. If you are looking for good hibachi go somewhere else! read more

Gave me food poisoning :) maybe just an off day the food was good I guess however it made me so sick

Food had no real flavor and meats had strange textures. Got the steak & shrimp and chicken & steak. Was excited for hibachi and this fell way short. Crab Rangoon was just ok. read more

One star because o can't do less. The food taste old. The meat taste like it has been in the freezer for several days. The rice is old and vegetables are not fresh. Do yourself and your health a favor and go somewhere else. They also charge 0.50 for water, just a cup of water. read more

I ordered the Hibachi Beef. Food has no taste and not really fresh. I was insulted tasting the egg roll sauce realizing it was mostly just a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise... really?! I was expecting more but it was disappointing. Sometimes DoorDash falls short and this was one of those times. read more

Don't waste your time. They will get your order wrong, cut you off and be rude to you. The location is desolate at best, noodles are awful and beef nothing to write home about. They have a plexiglass up so they can't hear your order. I would never walk into this location again. read more

Consistently good. I've ate here often. This place is always clean, the servers are always nice, they never mess up my order and the food is always good. Is it Brazilian steak house good.. no but your not paying $80.00 a plate either. Most places are hit or miss / only a few items are good on the menu. Not here everything I've ate here has been good and the portion is enough for 2. They also give you a card they stamp , after 10 times your meal is free. It comes with a side of sweet tender carrots and cabbage both tasty. You choose rice , fried rice or noodles. The fried rice is my favorite. I would Definitely recommend this place. It's good food for a decent price. read more

Shitty attitude and didn't want to have my business with 6 clients when called in order 15 min before closing. Their loss!

I did not expect this to become my fav new spot! Great fast service, food is AMAZING! Fresh and hot! Will be back for sure! read more

Hibachi Express & Grill - a close up of a take out container of food - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Well the husband wanted it and it was a mistake. Trash never again. My seafood was dead before they cooked it. Rice was nasty. Frozen egg rolls was ok. Dumplings burnt ass hell. Thanks. Wasted 30 dollars. read more

Staying in a nearby hotel, I walked over on a warm evening. The first thing I noticed after entering the restaurant was that the A/C was not functioning; it was around 90 degrees inside the restaurant, and employees were clearly sweating. The oppressive muggy interior wasn't helped by the fact that the look and smell was dirty, grimy, oily, sticky, and unkempt. I should have taken that as a sign not to order, but I had already come into the restaurant and was the only person there, so it would have been awkward for me just to turn around and leave. So I ordered a shrimp hibachi combo. While waiting I looked through the condiments to find that they are the cheap, artificial kinds full of preservatives such as sodium benzoate. Even the hot sauce had corn syrup and sodium benzoate listed on the ingredients. No thanks. (That makes me concerned about what's in the food itself.) I took the food to go, not wanting to sit in the restaurant's heat. The shrimp was ok, fried rice was mediocre, vegetables were meager except way too much cabbage and some oddly very sweet carrots. I like fresh and hibachi carrots, but it's as if these had been marinating in high fructose corn syrup; it was so disgusting that I could not eat them and ended up throwing them away so that they did not make me sick. I will give 2 stars because at least the man who cooked the food did so lightening quick (took maybe 2 minutes) and was very friendly, handing me the bag with a smile. I wish the quality of the entire restaurant matched his good nature. Now I watch the clock, hoping and praying that was I just ate from that dirty restaurant doesn't make me ill. read more

I don't know what all the complaints are for. We have been ordering regularly from here for 7 years. My entire family of 6 enjoys the food with never even one complaint. The lady who takes our order knows us and is always courteous. We have complicated orders and they have never once messed anything up. Great food great prices great service. You want a gourmet meal go pay for it and stop hurting this place with bad reviews about what is clearly labeled as "express". read more

I've been to this place a few times and it's always pretty good. My only thing is the fact that they charge $1 for extra shrimp sauce. It only comes with one little cup for a big plate. But that aside, the chicken was flavorful and the hibachi came with mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, cabbage, and carrots. The wontons were really good too and had plenty of crab inside. This is my go to spot for hibachi! read more

Hibachi Express & Grill - H4. Chicken and Shrimp Hibachi Combo and Crab Rangoon - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Hibachi Express was just okay and nothing memorable. I ordered a hibachi chicken combo with noodles. The chicken wasn't anything special. The noodles were super hot (temperature) but didn't have a flavor that stuck out, just tasted like soy noodles. The carrots were soft and sweet which was an interesting side and I couldn't eat the cabbage because it had a bad taste after trying a few bites. I also ordered the steak rolls since it was the advertised promotion at the checkout and it was not worth $5 extra for 3 rolls of a little steak wrapped in wonton paper. I only went here since I am visiting the area and deciding to try them because it was in walking distance to my hotel. read more

Not a great place to eat. The food lacks flavor. I got the chicken and shrimp combo. The shrimp and chicken were good. Carrots were over cooked and too sweet, rice was sticky, and cabbage was bland. Egg roll was basic. Surprisingly they have a long line at lunch time. The prices are good. They are clean and you get your food soon. There is plenty of seating and parking. The staff are friendly. They are in a strip mall with other places you can try. Keep your options open. Good luck! read more

I have to give a review because this place does not, from my experience, deserve such terrible reviews for what it is. (Are you looking for authentic, expertly prepared Japanese cuisine? Don't expect it here!) The parking was easy at dinner time, staff was friendly enough, the service was quick and accurate. The price for shrimp and steak hibachi with double fried rice, no veggie, 1 generous portion of shrimp sauce, and a drink was $11, which I thought was fair. I have a big appetite and the portion size certainly filled me up. It was a lot of food for a fair price. The food was good. It was not amazingly fresh like a "real" hibachi restaurant, but I was satisfied with the quality of the steak, and the shrimp was surprisingly DELICIOUS. Rice was good. Shrimp sauce good. But, I do not like a lot of flavor in my food, so I enjoyed the relative blandness. It's probably not good for someone with more adventurous tastes! The cook/cashier allowed my substitution no problem/no charge because he said he wants to make the customer happy. The ambiance of the restaurant is appropriate for the food, maybe even nicer than I expected. Nice enough to look at while you eat but it's definitely casual enough to wear whatever. They had a decent amount of seating, tables and booths, but it would maybe be hard to find a table at a busy lunch time. Silverware was plastic, napkins cheap, little packets of extra soy sauce available. I wouldn't probably take a guest here for a lunch date, but it's good enough for takeout for me when I have that craving and don't want to spend $35 and two hours waiting for it. I just think people who gave this 1 star have absurd expectations for a hibachi express place! There is one TV, password-protected wifi, and restrooms as well. Major Cons: When I went to fill my soda (Pepsi fountain drinks if you're curious, free refills), the Pepsi was out and running completely clear carbonation. He fixed it in under 5 minutes, but I can imagine it would've taken longer at a busier hour (7:00 pm and there were two of us in line.) They also asked me three times whether it was here or to go, and still got it wrong. read more

Hibachi Express & Grill - Booths line the side of the restaurant back to the restrooms. - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Fast, friendly service, easy to order and following strict covid guidelines. Large portions! I had the hibachi chicken, but felt it was lacking flavor. Will try again read more

So I have ate here for years... like 4 years multiple times per week and it use to be amazing. I bought a new car and have been budgeting my money and not ate there in about 9 months and decided to treat myself and the food was horrible now. Super bland flavor and something was burnt tasting. There were new faces of cooks and a new cashier that I have never seen. Sad to say I'll have to find a new lunch spot when I decide to splurge on good food. read more

Food was decent; just you're normal Asian fast food. Pretty clean on the inside. My biggest issue is the guy taking orders had his earbuds in and talking on the phone. Even when I was standing in front of him ready to order, he just stood there, looking at me, and STILL talking on the phone. read more

Hibachi Express & Grill - Look closely.....:guy has BOTH earbuds in while taking an order! - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Teriyaki chicken did not look appealing at all. It just looks like they cooked the chicken and threw the sauce across it I would not recommend read more

I ordered Teriyaki Salmon and Teriyaki Chicken. 1st, the lady behind the door didn't put my order in to the cooks at the time that I ordered. Had to wait extra time. No problem, mistakes happen. 2nd, the chicken was rubbery. 3rd, and the kicker... The "salmon" was not salmon but some other fish that tasted too fishy. I KNOW it was not salmon, yet I was charged salmon price. When I called them about it, the guy tried to pretend he didn't know what I was talking about. Why not just say, "We don't have salmon, but we have some... and the price will be ..." Have integrity. Because he didn't own up to their deception and apologize, I will not be back. read more

I'm very picky when it comes to hibachi but this place is very very delicious! The staff is very friendly and the environment is welcoming. Must try! Don't judge based of the negative reviews on here. read more

I'm not gonna lie, it's kinda hard to mess up fried rice. I didn't think it was possible. But as the popular saying goes, "if it's impossible, leave it to Hibachi Express to prove you wrong." Greasy, flavorless, and simply disgusting. I am not impressed. And not to mention, they literally put the entire head of cabbage on my portion. Never will be returning. Ps: bring a flashlight because the power may suddenly go out. read more

Decided to grab a quick take out dinner here since I was staying at the hotel behind it. The food was average. Had the beef hibachi and a side of egg rolls. The hibachi was bland, but cooked ok. Crab Rangoon's were flavorless with very little filling. It is about what I expected. Next time I would opt for the Mexican place next door or the sub shop. The woman who took my phone order and then gave me my food on arrival was miserable and acted as if I was bothering her. Not the best experience. read more

I don't think I've ever been that disappointed in food before. The noodles were so over cooked they were mushy. And the steak tasted cheap and had no flavor. The best part was the shrimp sauce that I had to cover my food in to make it taste half good. read more

Worst hibachi ever!!! Don't waste your money here and go to Nana!! I ordered the hibachi salmon and when I took a bite, it tasted like freezer burnt. Yuck! I got the veggies as my sides and the carrot looked like it came straight out of a can and the cabbages and broccoli stir fry was geasy and salty. I ate two bites and was so disgusted that I left my plate as is and walked out. read more

I forgot something very important today. Checking on Yelp before going in here. Since I had not had Asian food for a while, the word "Hibachi" caught my eyes and I went right in. I ordered Hibachi Salmon, and watched the cook cooking my salmon (which did not look like salmon at all by the way) on the iron plate, and I was regretting that I ordered it. They were very thin slices of whitish color fish pieces and did not have any orange or pink color even before it was cooked. Although I was brave enough to try it but it came back right out of my mouth. Yikes! If I were Gordon Ramsey, I would say, "Are you trying to kill me????" I'm sure. I really should have read Yelp reviews first. I usually do that, but today, I only had 10 minutes for this quick bite, and omitted my usual routine. Look, Yelp is getting more and more useful and strong. I am glad I'm one of them to help guide people to better restaurants and shops. But thanks to this non edible salmon lunch, I can eat full dinner tonight without worrying about gaining weight. Thanks. read more

It's unfortunate that this area doesn't have a yummy Japanese takeout for the huge business crowd during lunch hours. Hibachi Express will most likely last because sometimes you have that craving and you rather just stomach the dry chicken, steak, or seafood because you can drown it in white/shrimp sauce right? I rather not have to load up my meal with containers of sauce but there is no where else to go on a 30minute break. I'm giving 2 stars because they are quick and efficient in their services, the food is just not something you salivate over. I wish they served the sweet carrots, but instead you will get a heaping portion of bland cabbage and mixed veggies. There are other options on the menu if you aren't craving Hibachi , I'm just not willing to try another menu option and be disappointed. read more
