    Chicken and Bento Chicken & Beef
    Jameelah D.

    They have open seating as well as to go which is usually quick by the way. The quickest hibachi spot I've been to. I usually get a bento box and it's so yummy. The service is great really nice people. The color scheme is red and black. They also have money trees which is my favorite touch.

    Hibachi chicken and rice
    Janae T.

    I was craving hibachi this day so I said why not I stopped by hibachi express and I'm pretty sure I got the hibachi chicken and rice with vegetables. Which was pretty good. I didn't order yum yum or anything but I'm sure it came with the food. The place was pretty spacious and had a few tables for dining. The place was pretty good just your basic hibachi. Nothing that stood out that much

    Hibachi Broccoli and noodles with vegetables.
    Yvette E.

    The interior is clean, and the booths are spacious and comfortable. However, this is clearly more of a takeout spot, it's not ideal for large groups unless you're okay with splitting up into separate booths. The menu offers a good variety for both vegetarians and meat lovers, which is a plus. Unfortunately, the food itself lacked seasoning and flavor. I ordered the broccoli hibachi with noodles, and what I received was steamed broccoli with a few green onions and barely any sesame seeds. The broccoli was bland, and because it was simply steamed, the teriyaki sauce didn't adhere to it at all. The noodles were the best part, but even those seemed to be boiled and lightly tossed in sauce, no grill marks, no char, just a soft texture with minimal flavor. The photo speaks for itself. I also tried the boneless hot honey and buffalo wings. They tasted like frozen wings with store-bought sauce poured over them. Unfortunately, they went straight in the trash, no photos of those. The California rolls were the only highlight, though they felt overpriced for what you get: imitation crab, avocado, and cucumber. To top it off, the service was underwhelming. The woman at the register didn't take the time to explain the menu or the different options and made me feel like I was a bother for asking questions. Overall, I wouldn't drive 30 minutes again to eat here. It gave off mall food court vibes, but without the bold flavors you'd expect--even the basics lacked seasoning.

    2 beef & chicken teriyaki combos
    Courtney H.

    We stopped in here on a whim and couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. For the price, we got SO much food. We bought 2 teriyaki combos and it was enough for myself, my husband, my 3 year old, and we took some home for leftovers. The staff were very friendly and nice, though they definitely didn't speak much English, which generally wasn't a problem but I wasn't able to get answers about what sauces they used when I was asking about an allergy. We had a short wait and the tables (and whole restaurant) were very clean. The food was really delicious and my husband, who is not adventurous with food repeatedly thanked me for pulling me out of his comfort zone and having him try a new place because we loved it so much!

    First time eating here. This place just recently opened. This restaurant the Former location of firehouse subs, in the Springdale shopping center containing McDonald's, Jared Jewelers, Hobby Lobby. Rather nice looking place and there's one special round seating area for a larger party. Person at register may be busy keying in orders which came in via phone or app, so you may need to wait a couple minutes before you can get their attention to place your order. Don't be startled by the payment system. It's set to high volume so you'll easily hear when it's time to remove your debit/credit card. I didn't learn about it until I asked about it on my way out, but they have a Rewards Loyalty card they can hand you that's eligible for your next visit to earn points over time to get money off future visits. Either bring this card with you and let them know about it or provide them the Order No. from the card at time of purchase. Printed receipt is nice fontsize and you're given it because it has your order # printed on it. There's a sign showing the orders being prepared vs those that are ready. Once your order is ready they'll either verbally yell out your order number, or may even use their PA system to announce your order number. I came in just before the big dinner rush, which included maybe four or five delivery pick ups (They support Uber Eats, GRUBHUB, and DOORDASH). Menu is pretty easy to read, and pick between a Teriyaki meal or a Bento Box with accompanying sides and sauces. You can optionally grab one of their take out menus. Nitpicky but the word "Avocado" was misspelled as "Avacado". My order was a Bento Box containing Salmon and Shrimp with Noodles, Veggies, California Roll, Spring Rolls x2, Dumplings x2. I took a break from my usual soda to get a cup of water. You'll get a small cup for water that can be refilled at the Soda Station for free. Soda station has Coke products. The salmon and shrimp was tasty, and that along with the noodles was tasty and hot. The veggies were tasty but significantly cooled off to near room temperature. Spring rolls were OK but nothing special. Dumplings (aka pot stickers) were OK. California Roll sushi was all right, and comes with pickled ginger and wasabi. I got Yummy sauce (basically a watery version of Yum Yum Sauce). Other sauces you can get (in packets) include Soy Sauce, Duck Sauce, Mustard, and Hot Sauce. On the way out, one of the staff climbed a ladder out front at night, to fix the one end of the banner that was coming down. I offered to hold the ladder for him. I felt bad he didn't have an assist, someone to watch his back, if you will. He declined, and I couldn't help but feel nervous for him. He was even starting to use the top rung, and as someone who is certified in OSHA 10 Workplace Safety, it made me cringe. Overall, a decent visit. My first time there, as mentioned. I found it on the pricier side though it seems like so many restaurants are wanting to charge $9-15 these days. If I revisit I'll try and use the Loyalty Rewards card. Finally as a heads up they don't have company guest WiFi. There's the jewelry place WiFi that I couldn't log in. There's McDonald's WiFi you can't log into unless you're a McDonald's employee. So expect to use cellular service and get no WiFi while dining there.

    The food was good but we did not receive the sushi roll (Cherry Blossom) with the delivery by Door Dash. Not a Door Dash issue.

Today, though, one of the bowls we received which was supposed to have chunks of 1x tuna and 2x salmon, something we always get, had one spoonful of what looked and smelled like one part canned cat food mixed with four parts of store brand mayonnaise that had sat in the sun for two days. It was rancid and a health hazard; it had clearly gone bad. No one there seemed to care it smelled like garbage that had sat on the curb for two days and would put someone in the hospital if they tried to eat it. We walked the bowl directly to our outdoor garbage can because the smell in the house was making everyone sick. You could smell how bad it was from two stories, through a closed door. There is no way any restaurant would be ok with serving this. This wasn't just an unfortunate flavor; we could have sued them if we'd been stupid enough to eat it. So, I guess just ask if they plan on giving you literal garbage and then shrugging if you complain about possibly getting food poisoning before ordering because they do not care after you pay and have the item in your possession. I'll be contacting the Cincinnati Health Department when they open. This place is going to hurt someone who tastes the food without knowing better. I don't leave reviews unless a restaurant is amazing or they are dangerously bad.

Me, my sister, and the rest of my sister's bachelorette party ate a fantastic and relatively inexpensive-ish dinner here on a rainy Friday night in May, 2026. We made reservations beforehand which was smart, because it was busy and it would be unkind to surprise a busy restaurant with a party of 8 hungry bachelorette ladies! I had skimmed the menu beforehand and knew what I wanted to order and helped others in the party choose a meal from a cuisine many of them were unfamiliar with. But first, can we talk about how beautiful the mural is right outside the restaurant? I've attached a photo and I'm still obsessed with looking at it! Also, I gotta mention how kind the service was and how fast our waters and drinks arrived as well as our meals. Even though its all ordered via a QR code which normally lessens interactions with staff, we still had staff checking in on us and even making us laugh and smile! So I got a pina colada ($14), one of my favorite cocktails, and many of the other ladies also got tropical drinks as well. Some of them ordered tropical cocktails they were unfamiliar with yet still enjoyed them. For my main, I got the huli huli chicken thigh dinner ($15) with the aloha slaw and rice as my sides. I love a slaw that is vinegar based and this was crisp and refreshing! The chicken thigh was tender and well seasoned. My sister also ordered two desserts for the table - poi mochi with the most incredible chocolate frosting dipping sauce ($6) and fried donuts ($4). The poi mochi was a hit in particular. We paid beforehand so left after finishing our meals, happy and full! I'd absolutely recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting downtown Cincinnati. I'd be happy to come back and try their spam musubi and some more cocktails! Yum!

The Masubi was bomb which I already knew would be. They forgot to add my Hawaiian pineapple drink so I was a little butt hurt about that and they didn't add any utensils which I asked for with my Uber Eats order so they lost a star for that.
