Delicious and quick. I love this spot. 4 stars because the crab rangoon is very light on the filling. Its more pastry than anything else. Taste was good just a little disappointing that it barely had stuffing in it. Still the best around. Just an honest review. read more

I have a long and deep love for hibachi. My favorite restaurant unfortunately closed (the uncle of my friend who owned the restaurant passed away, and they couldn't make it with out him). It was cool because I got to eat with the chefs on their breaks when they made the employee lunches. Anyways, I digress. I've tried many places, and they never came close to my friends restaurant (Shi Chi). One major is I have found is that none of them served Sakura sauce (egg yolk sauce). They all have that yummy yummy, which is good, and let's not forget the ginger sauce. This place has the best sauces and options for everyone. But that sakura sauce, is just wow! The restaurant was very clean, with a large fish tank with some absolutely beautiful creatures within. The staff is absolutely amazing, helpful, kind, true interactions. The best vegetables, sauces ( I even like their yummy yummy, I normally don't. And their ginger sauce is to die for. Either way, if you are craving some "Japanese" food, this is the place. I drive 45 min to go there. It's worth it, you must try it..... so get going, and check out the dessert counter, because, yea..... read more

Hibachi Express - Sushi roll with the infamous sakura sauce (egg yolk sauce). - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

First time here...and honestly, was disappointed. The fast/casual restaurant is located at Georgesville and Holt Rd. connected to a Subway sandwich shop. The parking was nice, you can pull right up to the door basically. This is nice for people that may have difficulty walking, etc. The server taking my order was pleasant and patient. I ordered why I normally would order at a Japanese steak house, House of Japan or Gengi Go, Steak hibachi. I had high hopes when she asked how I wanted my steak done. I ordered medium well. I probably should have ordered medium. The rice and steak were so well done that they were dry with no flavor. The mushrooms, cabbage and zucchini were the star, but unfortunately you get very little veggies. They each cost $1 to add. I did like the yum yum and ginger sauces. They were absolutely necessary due to the rice so dry and possibly old and the steak being so well done also. I very likely won't return with locally owned hibachi places close by that are consistently good. Unfortunately, not a fan. read more

Hibachi Express - Super Dry rice and steak overcooked - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Food: I ordered steak hibachi and we had a whole talk about the way the steak can be cooked and it was over cooked and a pretty small portion was also offered vegetables with the hibachi then was charged for every single type of vegetable they included and the rice wasn't even completely mixed Service: the female cashier was getting smart and was rushing us to hand the money over Overall I wouldn't come here again read more

Hibachi Express - a tray of food - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

For everyone else who is complaining, it's a quick get and go hibachi place. It's cheaper than anywhere you'd go to sit down, and you get to customize your order which also adjusts the price. If you're going to get upset about portion sizes, go pay the extra $15 to drink and tip somewhere else because I'm sure you don't tip here. It's an amazing place with wonderful staff, and if you don't like it then your expectations are incredibly pretentious and you need to recognize what you're ordering. read more

Great service food looks great! Taste great is great everyone's awesome here ! And it's super clean in the building

I don't know if it's more the food or more the wonderful Lady behind the counter! She is the "heart" of the business. Very casual Hibachi diamond in the rough. Grove City seems to have them on every corner and this one by far is my absolute favorite! I only frequented those places a couple times a year for mostly special occasions. Today I showed up in an OSU hoodie and basketball shorts and ate outside on one of the picnic type tables with my 2 tweens in tow. We ordered Chicken Fried Rice with Teriyaki sauce, Steak Fried Rice with a side of Chicken, double Egg Yolk Sauce, and crab Rangoon. Portions are enough for a couple meals. The Crab Rangoon wasn't too sweet, which I enjoyed. For the quality and quantity, the prices are very reasonable. The establishment isn't very big at all. I noticed a slew of takeout patrons while we ate; many were regulars noticeably. The only people who were sitting were waiting in line for their food. It takes 5-7 minutes to prepare your food when eating in because everything is made fresh to order. As a matter of fact, just writing this review has me warming up my leftovers! read more

Hibachi Express - Steak, shrimp, scallops - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

First and only time I've ever ate here. Last time, too. Steak overcooked. Veggie side tiny and skimpy serving size. Not worth money. I had to throw the rest of my rice away cuz it was dry and gross. Not a fan!!! read more

I'm surprised this place is still open. Me and everyone I know who's came here has gotten extreme food poisoning

This restaurant is very yummy!!! Every time I come here, the cashier lady is very welcoming and sweet! They give you more than enough food!, they always give you a sneak peek of your food before leaving, and pricing is good! I add a lot of black pepper, but the portion is more than other restaurants read more

Hibachi Express - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Tried this place through DoorDash and it was pretty good! The portion size was huge, so definitely something you could split. I tried this steak and chicken hibachi with fried rice and zucchini and the fried rice and steak were very good! The chicken was really dry and tasted kind of old and the zucchini wasn't cooked much, maybe boiled for a little, but no seasoning or flavor added like at an actual hibachi restaurant. Definitely worth a try for the portion sizes and price. read more

Good for take out hibachi lots of food for the price clean and everyone is friendly They do charge for each item individually as an add on read more

I have been craving a quick hibachi. This place was great. The portions were amazing. You won't leave hungry. Will definitely come back for more! read more

I think they are out of business nobody answers the phone and when I drove by it was all dark inside no cars in the lot.

My chicken was a little overcooked but the steak and vegetables were excellent. Overall, the food was good. The lady who took my order was friendly and beautiful. This place is worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Very delicious. There is a reason it stays consistently busy. Fair prices. I uploaded a photo of the menu because the one on Yelp is outdated. read more

Hibachi Express - menus on the wall - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I love this place! The owners are so nice, and their food is great! Food: 5/5 They give you massive portions of food here! It's mainly hibachi, like you would get at a Japanese steakhouse, but they do offer some delicious appetizers! Their yum yum sauce and ginger salad dressing is so good!!! I can't hype enough about the quality of food they have! Please try their crab Rangoon! Service: 5/5 The owners are wonderful and remember their customers. They love to spark conversation and are funny! They're excited about their business, and they answer any questions you have. Environment: 3/5 The environment is pretty ordinary, nothing too special. They do have a few tables and chairs, but most of their customers order to-go style! For the nature of their business, the dining room is efficient. Location: 3/5 It's located in Galloway, shared next to a subway! They do have their own parking lot, which I always appreciate! Nothing too special about the location! But they are close, so it's convenient for me! Prices: 4/5 Their prices are very fair for the portions they give you. I usually get the chicken hibachi, and I leave paying about 10-11$, $15 if I get the crab Rangoon! I'm telling you, you will not be disappointed with the portion! Overall:5/5 One of my favorite places to get take out from! I'll always recommend it! read more

This place had good reviews and it's definitely cheaper than most hibachi places, so we just had to give it a try! We called in our order and was told it'll be ready in 10 mins, which is super quick! We ordered chicken with side of scallops, steak and shrimp, and steak+chicken+shrimp hibachis. All the meat were cooked very well. The fried rice didn't have any mushroom and/or egg but it was still tasty. The egg yolk is so so. The food wasn't hot, probably because we called it in and had to pick it up. Overall, if you're looking for hibachi, but don't want to smell like it or you just want something quick, this is it! read more

Hibachi Express - a bowl of mushrooms and zucchini - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This place is great and cheap. The woman who takes your order DOES try to make sure the order is right. If you want extra this and that, it costs more, so be aware. I am one of those people who orders extra and substitutions and they always get it right, always cook it fresh and always deliver it with a smile. The yum yum and ginger portions are small, but it's mayonnaise, butter and ketchup, folks. Even if this was 30 dollars, that's still 20 dollars cheaper than the joint next door. The food is better and it's NOT a chain. Support local. read more

friendly staff, the women who works here will always put a smile on your face, they are very personal here i love when a restaurant remembers who you are. very welcoming. food is very good :) great location off the freeway if your traveling & need a good solid hot meal & nice chit chat. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. The food is exceptional! The chiefs do a great job of not only cooking but entertaining guest! The food is a little pricey but not really much more than you'd paid at any steakhouse. Always friendly service, great food and entertainment! read more

Hibachi Express - a close up of a tray of food - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Listen- i know it looks like a bad waffle house on the outside. And it use to be a chinese take out place that smelled like vomit. But now? New owners and god are they hard working. This food taste just as good as the place across the street and they have better customer service. Steak was amazing, vegetables and rice were amazing. The cook and the lady at the register were both very hospitable and polite and even humorous. It took me years to finally walk into this place because I was judging a book by its cover. I feel so stupid. 10/10 if you didn't like it here your opinion was wrong sorry :) read more

If I could have given less than 1 star I would have. I ordered the crab ragoons and hibatchi chicken dinner. The crab ragoons were all breading and not much filling inside at all, and they did not look like the picture on the website. The Habatchi Chicken was very dry and tasteless just like the fried rice. The fried rice was a joke as it did not have any seasoning or vegetables in it it was just dark rice. In addition to the food being a big disappointment, they never put my 2 sauces in my bag and they need to update their menu on line as the prices are wrong. Very disappointed as I was really hungry for some good habatchi chicken. read more

I've been to other Hibachi Expresses and similar places and none of them come close to how good the egg yolk sauce is at this one. The steak is also always perfectly cooked to order. The soup and salad are pricey for what you get. read more

I seriously love this place! The food is great but the best part is the hospitality. Today was only my second time here. The first time was great so I wanted to try again to see if they were consistent l, and they are! The lady that works the front has such a great caring personality, kind of Mom-ish. She gave me free soup while I waited on my carry out and she didn't want me to leave without finishing my delicious soup. She even tried to get my to eat my carry out food there because she insisted it's much better hot lol. The express part in the name is real too, you get very close to actual full service Japanese Steakhouse quality in less than 10 minutes and only about $15 as opposed to over $30. There are several other businesses with this same exact concept but not the same quality and hospitality. It's hard to find a place that has great food, great value, and great happy people with family like hospitality but this place has it. Im shocked this place doesn't have a bunch more great reviews. Definitely under rated. Check it out. read more

Hibachi Express - a tray of food - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

$9 for steak. Very little meat. I would get rid of the cabbage and fried rice for more meat. For the price I would rather go Bento to go

Food is good however they're closed on Tuesday's even though online it says it's open.

It was super alright. The yum yum sauce was nasty, there was too much thousand island dressing in it or something. The chicken and the shrimp were equally alright. I wouldn't go back. Compared to the one on McNaughten Rd this one sucks read more

I like this place, but my wife doesn't. Friendly staff and never had any bad food. Yum yum roll is good and I like the hibachi. Nice little patio for summer. Not super expensive hibachi and better than spending 100$ to go see it cut up. We will definitely eat there since we live so close even though a few improvements would help. For some reason my wife says they use some sort of spice in their food she doesn't care for. Can't pick it out. read more

Good luck. I've ordered here 3 times. The first my scallops were under cooked. The second I wanted a little bit of everything so I ordered scallops (asked for a longer cook this time), side of steak and side of veggies. They treated each side as a whole meal and I walked out $30 poorer and rice for three dishes. Enough to feed a small army. They do show you the food before you leave and when I said it wasn't what I ordered I was instructed to specify next time that each was for one dish and to specify they were sides. Tried to order again today. Asked specifically to have sides of items-one meal, as directed. Whoever is answering the phone has awful customer service. She just kept reading my order back to me. I said thank you, sorry, not trying to be a pain but it was way too much food last time and I just wanted to be sure we were on the same page. Rinse and repeat. Order read, "thank you just wanted to confirm" like three times. She just kept saying she already read my order back to me. Her next response "but is the food good?" Eventually just ended up cancelling and going to House of Japan. Who has way better food and customer service anyway. read more

Food is tasty and the people are nice but I've gotten sick both times I've eaten there.
