Joshelyn ..

How clutch is a hibachi spot with a drive-thru? VERY! I now see why the line be so long during peak lunch and dinner hours. I was skeptical about trying the food not gonna lie because hibachi has been hit or Miss since I've been living in Atlanta but I'm not disappointed. I've been to this place twice and each time delivered! Both times I've eaten here I've gotten the Hibachi Chicken, large and half sizes, with a side of the veggie egg rolls. First let's talk about the egg rolls; they didn't taste frozen or store bought, and if they were, they did an amazing job of making them delicious. They had a ginger kick to them that I loved and they were a nice size portion. The price wasn't bad either like $5 for two. The Hibachi Chicken is tasty; no mucky or overcooked rice, seasoned chicken, hefty and flavorful serving of veggies, nothing to complain about especially for the price! The half size is like $11 and the full is $14 rounded up, and you get a ton of food for the price! My mom ordered the shrimp fried rice and wasn't too impressed. It was a nice sized serving from the picture and what I saw but I can't judge the taste considering I didn't eat any but it looked good. She's picky so I can't really properly assess the fried rice lol I can't give the place 5 stars because I haven't experience the restaurant to its entirety. However, the service is always good even with the cashiers at the window when I go being young, the restaurant appears clean in the inside from what I can see sitting in my bar, and the parking lot isn't trashy. It looks sketch but it's not lol. Overall good food and experiences. I'm going back to try that Chicken Teriyaki Bowl, their Veggie Fried Rice, and their chicken wings! They have a drive-thru, you can't beat that!

Saw this place on tiktok and made the 25-30 minute drive from Sandy Springs -- I'll say it's well worth it! I can't speak to the inside of the restaurant because I used their very convenient drive-thru, but service through the speaker was efficient. Yes, I did have to pull up for about 5-8 minutes for them to bring my food but this wasn't inconvenient for me as this told me the food was made to order and fresh! Everything I got was hot and delicious. I was going to order the 1/2 hibachi chicken plate, but when I asked to add teriyaki sauce to the chicken the guy advised to just order the teriyaki chicken bowl. This came with fried rice, teriyaki chicken and hibachi-style vegetables. The portion was more than generous, I literally had 2.5 meals off of it. And yes, they do give you yum yum sauce! I also ordered the Atlanta roll which was basically a fried Philadelphia roll. The price is amazing for the quantity they give you. I will 100% be back.

I've heard about this no so hidden gem on TikTok for a couple of years and finally decided to check it out and it was some of the best hibachi I've had in years. I had the triple meat (chicken, steak & shrimp) yakisoba bowl it comes packed to the brim so the portions are on point also everything was well seasoned and wasn't relying on soy and teriyaki sauce for flavor even the prepackaged yum yum sauce is an after thought. The service was great as well everything made to order and the cashier was very nice and patient.

"Drive Thru Hibachi" - Technically, I feel that is a pretty strong review that should you bring you to this spot...but just in case you are still skeptical, I will elaborate... Situated on South Cobb Drive between Concord Road and Windy Hill sits Terry Ho's Hibachi Express, a spot that a few ago took over the old Dairy Queen/barn style building and started slinging decent quality, modestly priced and plentiful portioned hibachi staples along with the namesakes famous Yum Yum sauce. While they have an indoor counter for ordering and a couple of tables, they are currently only operating via the drive thru currently. The drive thru itself is a pretty short line, so you normally must enter and circle the building to loop back in front of the place, as that is where the menu/speaker sits. One would think hibachi would take a bit of time to prepare, but here they have it down to a science. Sadly there are no thrills of shrimps being flung or onion volcanos, but getting a stacked and filled container of a heaping portion of rice, veggies and chicken (or whatever protein you like) for under $10 is enough thrill for me! While the price is fantastic and the servings are more than adequate, the quality of the food is solid as well. I will say that on occasion, I can tell I got there at the right time, as my protein was hot and fresh, while other times my chicken has been a tad dry. Seeing that they serve this variety of food via quick service, it makes sense that they batch make the goods and scoop from a line as you order. Either way, I have had worse and I have had better, but for the price, I won't rag on it at all! Since I usually get the hibachi, this comes with fried rice and sautéed veggies. The rice is a basic "fried" rice that is just that, rice. It does not feature any veggies or eggs. The veggies are good, cooked well and feature zucchini, broccoli, carrots and onions...all the staples! While I maintain my dedication to getting hibachi each time, my family and friends often get the teriyaki bowls, which are basically the hibachi without the yum yum sauce and veggies. I have gotten the egg roll on occasion, and when I do...I ain't mad at it! Its packed full of veggies, minced protein and fried to absolute perfection. Toss a little duck sauce on it and bam! Outside of the hibachi and bowls, they have other items that I have yet to try, but sound tasty and are also well priced. These include yakisoba bowls, fried rice and wings. Overall, this place hits the spot every time. While I enjoy a good show every now and then, given the state of things, it is super nice to be able to still enjoy hibachi without all the risks of eating in...and if that wasn't enough, it is also great to pay literally half the price you are used to paying! My family and friends are always impressed that we got a drive thru hibachi spot, so when we have visitors, Hibachi Express is usually on the menu at least one of the days!

I know this review is probably pointless because a) I've seen how the owners pick and chooses who they respond - take a look - there's a trend and b) I'm not regular - so losing me as a customer won't hurt them in the lease. But here I go - I used to be regular. Stopped by for a semi-healthy (or so I told myself) lunch or dinner a couple times of week because it was on the way home from my consulting gig AND it was right across from Gizmo's favorite dog park (that somewhat hidden treasure that it took me YEARS to even discover). I thought I stopped going because I was no longer ever in the area. I forgot that I kinda stopped going because they were inconsistent. So ... I ventured in because I met a client on S Cobb drive for a last minute Easter promo. Hadn't stopped in at least 5 years. Called in my order from the parking lot because there were 4 cars in line and I know they tend to be slow. I asked for land lovers (steak medium well and chicken) with steamed white rice. I asked if they could do 'no broccoli' - otherwise it would be fine. They cashier was super friendly. Assured me that it was fine to omit broccoli and even repeated my order back to me. I pull in behind the four cars and wait my turn. As I sit there, I can see the employee - taking care of phone orders, window orders and even wandering outside to take orders to cars they asked to pull up. I've recently had 'a blessing' and I sincerely appreciate good customer service - and I witness the cashier giving everyone pleasant, friendly, patient customer service - so I tip the cashier $20. He even tries to give it back to me in confusion because I paid with my card. I told him, No that's for you. I'm not boasting on my tip - only mentioning it because I want owners to realize that if I was trying to get free food - I would not have tipped $20 on a $14 dollar meal. It's getting dark - and I'm blind as a bat at night - so MY BAD - I drive off without checking my food. I get home and I'm excited to tuck into my food. I open my tray to discover this (see pics) . smaller portions aside ... 'No broccoli' somehow transmitted to all broccoli. Listen folks - I LOVE broccoli, but I have diverticulosis - and broccoli, corn, peanuts - anything tough or fibrous or hard to digest TRIGGERS diverticulitis - so I can't eat it. And as much as I love meat - I don't really care for rice. So without veggies - I would've been stuck eating a small pile of steak and chicken. I'm a carnivore - but for me to eat a plate with nothing but meat - it's gotta be grilled or smoked. But I digress. I called the restaurant. Told them what happened. They told me to bring it back for replacement. I explained that I couldn't come back that same night. And they were closed the next day. They told me to hold on to the food - and bring it back for a replacement. I was beyond annoyed. I get it - people pretend they have complaints to get fake food. I offered to take a pic of food - not because I planned to eat it - but because I knew that I wasn't up for driving ALL the way over there with this food within the next few days. Person said just return with food. I tried to just eat the meat - but couldn't. I wind up waiting for a pork tenderloin to thaw and eating 4 hours later. Cut to 9 days later. Yep. I stuck it in the downstairs fridge that we rarely use - and I finally had a break in my day (two jobs, people) - and I drove back over there with this sad bag of food. Explained to same cashier (the one I tipped $20 previously). Bag included everything - food, Yum Yum sauce, spring roll. After much discussion - manager comes over and asks if they can re-make meal instead of refund. I told him that I never asked for a refund - I literally asked for a re-make. A few minutes later, cashier comes back and said, 'You want no vegetables right?' ARGH. I calmly explained, 'No - just no broccoli.' Now I'm worried - if I didn't want vegetables, I could have just eaten the rice and meat in previous meal. Now I'm worried. After about 7 minutes, they come to the window with the bag. Tell me it's ok for me to check it. Same tightly knotted bag that I have to rip open to check. No fork. Spring roll I told them I didn't want. But otherwise it looks ok. I leave. When I get home - I try the food. Here's why I gave the 1 star - a) if you mess up my order, and I come back - I understand times are rough for everyone - but I think team should at least offer to recompense in some way - complimentary beverage or dessert. I would have declined - but it's the thought that counts b) the portions have gotten smaller c) my steak was fine but chicken was tough and overcooked Again - I understand that my little review won't hurt these folks - but for anyone reading - BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE YOU PULL OFF.

Land Lover
Dee R.

This place is great! You get great food, great taste, without the wait or having to sit in the hibachi restaurant! I got the land lover (chicken and steak) they give you a great portion. Veggies were fresh. And they're not stingy with the condiments! My plate was so much covered me for almost two days! I didnt get the sushi, I wish i did. That was my first experience with a drive thru hibachi but it's definitely authentic!

Shrimp Fried Rice
Earl S.

My Fiancee' shared this place with me and noted that it had some good options. I like that they offer a drive-thru and are local. They were very patient with me given it was my first time and their menu is kind of overwhelming when you drive up. I ordered a half portion of the Hibachi Chicken and an order of the Shrimp Fried Rice. The wait was less than 15 minutes and they have ample spots where you can park and wait for them to bring it out. The prices are quite reasonable for the amount of food you get. The Hibachi Chicken meal was delicious, and everything was hot. The shrimp fried rice had an interesting flavor, and it was actually not my favorite. They give one container of yum yum sauce per entree you order. They are comparable to Hibachi Stop on Delk Road but I do think I like both about the same.

Hibachi House Special Fried Rice
Katherine B.

Honestly I don't think I'll ever be going back here, as soon as I opened my food I saw there was a hair in eat. I hadn't been here in a while but after that I will definitely not be going back. Unfortunately I was at home already so I didn't want to make the drive back but you guys should REALLY CHECK YOUR FOOD before you leave just to save you the drive.

Not to mention, all of our dishes were plated beautifully and came out quickly. The miso soup and salad were yummy, as well. When you walk in, the environment is very cozy with lots of pictures from loyal and regular customers. Will definitely be returning as it's some of the best sushi I've had in Georgia.

Long story short: waited 40 minutes for sushi so lackluster that I felt it was a crime against the…read morefish who died to be in the rolls. Genuinely curious about the generous cuts of fish I saw in others' experiences as all our rolls were small (think the size of a big toe for reference...) I normally choose to not write a review if I have a poor first-time experience at a family restaurant and opt to visit again, but this visit was so disastrous that I cannot stomach the thought of round two. Service: First dish (ton-katsu) came out after ~30 minutes after ordering. Rolls came out 45 minutes after order. The restaurant was not packed. We were notified ONCE by our server while she hastily dropped off the ton-katsu saying "your sushi is late but you know all of it is." Food: - Ton-katsu (3/5): The sides (potatoes, miso, and salad) were fine. The meat was intriguing. It was impossible to eat without it falling apart as there were evidently two different mystery cuts of meat (one dark, one white) packed together. The texture of the dark meat resembled that of stale hamburger patty and the white meat was probably pork tenderloin? Regardless, it was fried nicely, but was incredibly dry and overall meh (especially for the price). -Georgia Roll (1.5/5): I love wasabi and spice in general, but this was not it. The wasabi mayo had way too much wasabi and it was inconsistently distributed throughout the roll. Almost inedible. The roll itself was not packed tightly and started falling apart before I started even eating it. -Dynamatic Roll (2/5): Overall, it was fine as there were no glaring errors that pushed it to the inedible front. The amount of eel inside was negligible and there were pieces that didn't even have any towards one end. Roll was also packed poorly and fell apart before we touched it. -Fried Scallop Roll (1/5): Wayyy too much eel sauce inside the roll. All I could taste was overly sweet teriyaki. 2 of the 8 of the pieces didn't even have a single scallop-- only tempura bits! Despite being fried, the scallops were cold inside, which was an odd experience. All I could taste was eel sauce and raw onion. Did we finish the food? Yes, because I don't want to waste food. However, I could not on good conscience recommend it to even my non-existent enemies.

I shared the Karaage and Korean fried chicken with my friends and didn't find either to be something I would reorder, however I will say that my friends all spoke highly of the Korean fried chicken. For my main, I had the Wagyu Maki and it didn't live up to the expectations or price at all. We finished off with the mochi which was very tasty. I'll caveat this all with adding my friends who had the ramen and fried rice enjoyed their meals a lot more than mine. This could be a result of just ordering better items or just having a one-off bad experience myself. Overall, I think if you're avoiding seafood then Yakitori Jinbei might not be the best place to try in my personal experience.

5/5 Yakitori Janbeli…read moreI was in town for a business trip and decided to give Yakitori Janbeli a try after seeing all the glowing online reviews and the Food Network hype. I stopped by on a Tuesday evening around 8 PM, placed a call-in order, and it was ready in about 20 minutes--super convenient! I went with the fried rice and the Korean-style fried chicken. The place has a nice moderate-sized space with pleasant outdoor seating, and the staff was really friendly when I picked up my order. Once I got back and dug in, it was clear they use super fresh ingredients, and everything tasted like it was made to order. The fried rice had nice, layered flavors, and the chicken had a clean, crisp bite with a tasty sauce drizzled on top. Honestly, I couldn't quite see what all the major hype was about, but it was still a solid, good-quality meal with great presentation. That said, given the other more affordable options in the area with better portions, I probably wouldn't go back on my next visit. Would recommend if you're looking for fresh, quality ingredients in a convenient spot!

The broth was incredibly flavorful and rich. My only complaint was the noodles... I definitely prefer the thinner rice noodles that come with pho. We also ordered the green papaya salad. It was fresh, delicious, and had a nice kick to it, so if you're not a fan of spicy food, be warned! The summer rolls were also very good. The only downside was the peanut sauce. It had a stronger hoisin flavor than I prefer. I personally like peanut sauce that's creamier and has more of a peanut butter base. I also tried the Thai steamed dumplings. They were okay, but nothing particularly memorable. They came out stuck together and were topped with crunchy garlic bits. Unfortunately, they weren't my favorite dish of the meal. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality and portion sizes. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed, even though he was the only one working and was clearly busy. From what I understand, this is a semi-family-owned restaurant (correct me if I'm wrong), and you can really tell that everything is made with care and attention. The restaurant also has two beautiful saltwater aquariums that are relaxing to watch while you enjoy your meal, which adds to the overall atmosphere. One thing to keep in mind is the restaurant's hours. They don't always match what's listed online. They have a takeout-only period from 5:00-6:00 p.m., so it's worth checking before you go. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. I'll be sure to update my review after our next visit!
