    Fire Ant Sushi Roll
    Felipe P.

    The best way to eat Japanese food without breaking the piggy bank? Come to Hibashi Express. Affordable prices. Great food. I would recommend to come eat during lunch time. They have good specials combos and thier sushi is exquisite. Thier staff are nice, friendly and hospitable. The place is clean. Thier noodles are good along with thier rice. You can choose in your lunch combo either steak, shrimp or chicken. Either one is not a bad choice. Thier sushi I can't express enough how good they are. If you're into the spicy stuff, try thier Fire Ant Sushi Roll. It has a good kick in it. So if you happen to pass by Plant City Florida and would like a recommendation of a good affordable Japanese food. Then come try Hibashi Express.

    Chicken hibachi
    Ashlea C.

    I wanted to try this place because the reviews are fantastic, but I honestly am not that big of a fan. Ordering was a breeze, their customer service is great, however the food, it's not the best! The prices are pretty good though. $7.49 for a hibachi lunch special with a drink, or you can get two sushi rolls. The food itself gives me "horribly executed mall food" vibes. I've definitely had worse, don't get me wrong, but this isn't going to be my #1 choice for hibachi in Plant City. The hibachi chicken platter was very flavorful, I loved the veggies and rice, but the chicken seemed fake or frozen, and kind of rubbery. So I assume if you get a veggie hibachi, it may be a lot better! My friend and I agreed that if we came back, we'd try the veggie platter next time. The portion size was perfect for those of us who love to eat, but for some people there may have a little bit left over. The sushi rolls were definitely not the best... Again, the shrimp in the "shrimp tempura roll" tasted previously frozen like the SeaPak kind at the grocery store. It wasn't tempura batter at all. The cucumbers had a weird taste, and the sauce that they smothered it in is like overwhelming flavors of sweet soy sauce. The Boston roll was the better of the two, it tasted mostly like lettuce, which I was totally fine with. It still wasn't authentic sushi, but it will cut a craving. I honestly wasn't expecting much out of the sushi anyways, I just was hoping that the hibachi would have been better than it was! Like I said, still not the worst I've had, but for sure not the best either.

    Wonder place to get good sushi and a fried rice veggie entree with your choice of meat or extra veggies! I love their yum yum sauce and soy sauce.

    If you are craving sushi and want it now, this is the place for you. It isn't quite a sit down restaurant (I.e. with a server) nor a fast food place. Its fairly simple and low key. It's a perfect place for lunch, for a group of people, or an easy family dinner after work where you don't want to wait for a table, and don't need/want a server. People were streaming in and out picking up pickup orders. You order your food at the front counter and then they bring it to you at your table when it's ready. We enjoyed several of the chefs choice rolls and they are very reasonably priced and appear family friendly.

    2 roll lunch special spicy tuna and spicy salmon.

    Came by on Saturday for the lunch specials of two sushi rolls ( Spicy tuna and spicy salmon) and hibachi shrimp with vegetables and rice. The sushi came with no sides and the sushi was mushy. We will not get the sushi again. The hibachi shrimp was good, vegetables were very good and the rice had eggs but no other veggies in it. I would get double vegetables next time. We also tried the Rock shrimp with spicy mayo but came with yum yum instead. The shrimp were good. Overall fair, may try specialty rolls if we come back. Restaurant was clean and staff was fairly friendly.

    Delicious hot and fresh. I was expecting your typical Chinese takeout but it is definitely a step above. Even the interior decoration is a little nicer. They have real plates if you eat in. I ordered the chicken hibachi special and shared a tempora shrimp sushi roll. It was a ton of food! I was stuffed.

    Pretty tasty. I really didn't know what to expect but the online menu and other reviews seemed promising. I ordered online at Beyond Menu and the food was good. In fact I've been back a few times since! Each time I ordered the chicken hibachi with a shrimp tempura roll. The hibachi to-go comes in a tray with little separate sections, chicken, vegetables, fried rice, and a salad on the side. The sushi is different depending on who's there. The picture I'm posting, the rice on the sushi didn't seem quite right. In my last visit it was much better. But it was always pretty tasty. Ultimately I think they are still working out some kinks as it's a relatively new business.

I also got the sushi combo and they were very nice that they let me substitute tuna to more salmon because I personally don't like tuna. Everything was so fresh. Everything was so good even the water was very refreshing and did not taste weird. The server was very sweet and kind.

The spicy Tonkatsu, fried oysters, gyosa, fried rice...heck almost anything on the menu as been amazing and the Sushi isn't stingy. You might pay a little more but you get a lot more. Full bar selection and good bartenders are just the plus. Clean bathrooms, clean restaurant, great food, great service. Highly recommend.

    Second time here and let me tell you, Sushi Masa delivers!…read more First, the ambience is very kitschy in a good way. There's Kimonos for you to try on, they showcase their ramune selection. Menu is very Japanese while connecting to its American audience. The vibe has elements of Japanese culture tied into the decor and design, but music was all American top 40 (I did hear a couple of country hits too so they appeal to all of Polk County). Service both times was absolutely excellent. The servers and runners are beyond busy, but both times servers asked multiple times (it seemed as much as possible) for extra orders etc. my drink was refilled before it was finished. Plates taken away very quickly. Well oiled machine. Good times I think vary between types/categories of food, so just be patient. You might get a roll before an appetizer for AYCE, but that's ok with me. Never complaining with sushi coming out fast and fresh. Now the food. Both times I've gone for the AYCE option. It's totally worth it if you like to get a lot of different types of things or multiple rolls. My mom is NOT a sushi person and she said she loves this place. Just to give you an idea of how good the food is. She will only eat the cooked sushi. Her favorite roll so far is the Yummy Roll. Very tasty in my book too. She got the Little Tokyo Roll, but said it was bland compared to the Yummy Roll. Guess the Yummy Roll was just too Yummy LOL! Age Tofu is definitely a more Americanized version. I like the traditional style so I was not into this one as much. Top appetizer is hands down the Takoyaki. Again, this is elderly approved as my mom loved this appetizer. She also liked the dumplings and Kani salad. The fried rice was like hibachi style, so if you like that kind of rice then you'll enjoy this one. I also enjoyed the double crunchy roll. Sashimi was great and very fresh. They bring it out on ice too, so if you are protein aware/carb conscious, you can fill up on just the sashimi. Ice cream is what we had for dessert. Green Tea is the standard matcha ice cream. Very delicious. The strawberry flavor was also very good; I could feel the little seeds/strawberry bits. Overall, this is probably the best sushi place I've tried so far in Lakeland. I would go even just to have a roll. Obviously AYCE is fun, but having the option to just à la carte is nice. I HIGHLY recommend trying this place out if you haven't, especially if you like sushi.

Drinks were refilled quickly, empty plates were cleared right away, and she regularly checked in without being intrusive.

We never felt like we were waiting long between orders, which made the entire dining experience even better. It's refreshing to find a place that delivers both quality food and outstanding service. We'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great all-you-can-eat sushi experience!
