My new favorite restaurant. High quality meals ! Affordable prices. I try something new each visit....never disappointed.

Overall, a wonderful and consistent experience. The price point is reasonable, the place is very clean and seems to be managed well. We have tried everything- no complaints.. Worth it.. read more

Food always top notch. I always order mixed veggies and and the shrimp, shrimp steak fried rice dishes are delicious! They are generous with the portions...there is often enough for left overs. For service they have a walk up counter/order area in center back area where you order and pay. The seating is comfortable with lots of room. This is a nice, clean, Asian, modern style restaurant with booths and tables but take out is also popular. The veggies are perfectly grilled and lightly seasoned. The shrimp is truly the best in the area-perfectly grilled...Yum. The rare steak was tender and actually "rare"!!! Also comes with their own yum yum sauce. read more

excellent experience. super impressively bright & clean. very attentive counter service. i got steak hibachi and they actually asked how i wanted the steak cooked. nicely packaged for my carryout. def returning. read more

Taste like the old Arigato in Countryside,The best food around the area for the price

This is the best Japanese street food I have had in my life, and I have lived for decades in California and Hawaii. The chicken teriyaki is fantastic. I love the fried rice. It's Japanese style, which is lighter. read more

This was unbelievably the grossest food I think I've ever had. Not even edible. We spent $35 on 2 steak hibachi entrees to be put in the garbage. I don't know if the steak is fake meat or dog meat or something else but been the cheapest quality steak isn't this bad. Covering it in yum yum sauce wasn't even enough. The yum yum sauce was ok but not like you get at hibachi restaurants. Fried rice tastes nothing like fried rice and even the rice was inedible. Oddly the vegetables were the only thing that tasted good. The ginger dressing was good but the salad was very sad, a chunk of iceberg lettuce and a tomato wedge. I'm still in disbelief how disgusting this was. Wow just wow Visually it looked great. Price was ok. Food was awful read more

Meh. We wanted to explore something new, so we made the trip to this strip mall location. They've done a pretty good job transforming whatever was in this store before. The black ceiling had small spots of white showing through, so the rehab didn't include that, I'm guessing. You order at a walk-up window, where an overworked woman hurriedly packs meals. She was not overly pleasant. My family was not impressed with our lunches. The litmus test is always; would you return to this place? Including me, I got 3 "no" votes. So, this will be the last supper at this establishment. Oh, and by the way, It's Tarpon Springs. read more

Hibachi Express Tarpon Spring - Sushi bar and walk up counter. - Japanese Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

As far as Japanese food goes...this is disappointingly bland. I have eaten here once; The staff and location are okay, but the food is just flavorless and disappointing. It's not the worst thing I've eaten but it's...pretty bad. read more

Every time I come here my food is always fresh and hot and everyone that works here is very nice and pleasant I actually left my wallet and the lady that's always there ran out and brought it to me thank God because I would have never seen it if someone else would have gotten a hold of it the place is always nice and clean as well never had any problems read more

Fantastic food and service!! We love this place! Highly recommend the sushi.... All of it is delicious and hand crafted! read more

me and my boyfriend came here and ordered two meals ending up to be $38 total. his card was charged $48?! he went up to the lady and she kept talking over and over him and we couldn't even understand her because she was talking so fast, like frantically. she said she couldn't do anything and now it's the next day and we called the place, she picked up again and said she remembered us. she still was talking over us and we couldn't even get a peep out until we told her to stop after 2-3 times. this is completely unprofessional and literally stealing money. we offered a refund and she said we can't even have it yet until she gets it situated. NEVER coming here again. and their fried rice isn't even fried, it's just unseasoned white rice with little tiny egg particles. and their noodles are like plain ramen noodles. read more

Ate there last week! Headed there tonight. Wonderful as always, their chicken hibachi is the best, friend of ours got the chicken teriyaki and that was quite delicious too. It's always clean. The people are always friendly and if I ate sushi, I might even try that it actually looks delicious. Can't wait to go there every time we get back to TS. read more

When I want hibachi quick fast in a hurry, this is my go to spot! The Hibachi is always hot and the sushi always fresh. They provide service with a smile and keep a clean establishment! read more

Just opened in the far right corner of a shopping center anchored by Walmart on US 19 and Tarpon Avenue, Tarpon Springs. Very soft opening. Their sign caught my attention. I was hesitant to try. I thought this was just another mediocre fast food take out however as I was looking in the window there was a lot of seating. I noticed a suchi bar to the right freshly made and a order line. What impressed me while I glanced at their posted menu was the variety of Japanese offerings including Miso soup, noodles, hibachi offerings including beef, chicken, and shrimp. As I'm reading, first time hungry customers kept streaming in so I took the plunge. The menu is impressive. I ordered Habachi shrimp, vegetables and rice with Miso soup and a beverage. It came to $10! The alternative was to visit one of the fine local Japanese steakhouses nearby however I didn't want to invest $25 or more just for myself. As one orders, you're given a number which you attaché to a holder on your table and your order is delivered to you although they don't have servers perse. My soup came out first. It had a great dark color and rich taste with bits of tofu. My big surprise was the hearty plate I ordered. I never expected so much food. At least a dozen good sized properly cooked shrimp with lots of grilled vegetables: zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, onions atop a generous portion of rice. Japanese soy sauce is on each table and chop sticks are available. Utensils are plastic. Authentic Japanese bubble tea and soft drinks are lined up at the order counter to help promote their appearance and make it easy to order. The restaurant is well organized in front and the Hibachi kitchen is visible in the back. I had enough food left for another meal which I brought home. I will definitely return. Good job and Congrats. You're doing all the right things. Sometimes good things come in small settings. This is true here! read more

For the money, it's a great lunch. $10 we go in and out fast. Just what guys on the clock need.

Doesn't look like much when you walk by because it's next to a smoke shop and Walmart but holes in the wall are my favorite hidden gems! My wife loved her Philadelphia rolls and we both real enjoyed the clear soup. The steak was flavorful and the rice was cooked perfect. There salad was so good had a delicious ginger taste. I would DEFINITELY recommend. It's nice inside the restaurant as well and staff were kind. Don't forget to order yum yum sauce read more

I also ordered pan fried shrimp dumplings - not what you'd expect, I WIll order the same food again! I will venture outside my comfort zone. I really recomend them. Next time pics will be added read more

WARNING...THIS PLACE WAS SO HORRIBLE THAT IVE NEVER IN MY 34 YEARS OF LIFE POSTED A FOOD REVIEW...NOT ONCE. UNTIL NOW. I made the mistake of thinking this place was associated with (my favorite) Hibachi Express in LARGO. I couldn't have been more wrong...I spent $38 on a meal that was awful. I ordered the hibachi chicken...meat was bland and tough...The lady behind the cash register acted very bothered that I asked questions about the menu. When i saw her packing up my order, I realized the rice didn't look like fried rice at all and I asked her if it was fried rice, twice, because it did not look like fried rice at all, which she aggressively told me "yes, double fried rice." It was not the normal Japanese fried rice that my family is used to...it was literally white rice with the tiniest, old tasting, egg particles...no seasoning, no veg...just horrible. The yum yum sauce couldn't even fix it because it was so watered down and also bland...which sucks because that's usually one of my favorite parts about the hibachi express of LARGO. This was more like yuck yuck sauce. My husband's catsu and rice was also bland. Chicken was breaded somewhat decent, I suppose. But no flavor...just good texture. My daughter's (kid's) fried chicken meal was literally fried chicken sticks out of a bag, which, in all fairness, the mean lady showed me as I was ordering...probably because they take longer to deep fry...and she, obviously, didnt want to waste the kitchen's time. Not my fault, maybe use fresh chicken for chicken strips? My daughter still wanted them. These frozen chicken "sticks" came with a side of bland, unsalted fries...the whole thing was a mess and after a long 14 hour night shift at the hospital, I just wanted to go home and eat something yummy...instead I just wasted my hard earned money and ended up going to my next 12 hour night shift (yesterday night, same day) hungry. What a horrible experience...worst hibachi I've ever had. Hands down. read more

This place is so unprofessional, my order was wrong they gave me double steak and I wanted steak and chicken the woman there said when my order was placed it was ordered wrong and I said okay can you please remake my order she then goes on and says the prices are different from the steak and it would be an up charge for it I said your going to charge me for extra because my order was wrong she was very rude and wanted to make a scene about it when all I wanted was my order to be remade she then goes to grab the chicken and slides it on the counter. read more

I spotted this place while I was out shopping and decided to get some food to take home. The prices are beyond reasonable! I was able to get an entire meal at their lunch special price (EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE WEEKEND!!!) of $7.75 which included a huge portion of rice, veggies, choice of hibachi main (I think it was a choice of shrimp, steak, chicken, or extra veggies -I picked steak) and a drink. I love that they offer a lunch special on the weekend as well as weekdays. I added on a California roll since I could see they were rolling them fresh to order. Very happy with the quality of the food for the price. My food was hot, fresh, and I will be back. read more

Hibachi Express Tarpon Spring - Take out - Lunch Special with Fried Rice, veggies, and steak. So good!! - Japanese Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

Saw the sign out front and we decided to give it a try. It's nice to see variety in this area aside from fast food spots. Everything was great however the only thing I wasn't too impressed by was the spring rolls and shrimp dumplings. A bit too mushy inside for my liking. Aside from that everything was delicious. My family and I really enjoyed it and will be coming back. read more

Certainly a worthwhile dining experience. Seafood is tasty and well prepared. Chicken is on the dry side. The sauce is thick and flavorful.

Great quality for a fair price - orders are always consistent and I like being able to see the chefs prepare the food

We enjoyed the lunch special at Hibachi Express yesterday. We ordered the teriyaki chicken and the porton size was generous. The special includes a spring roll and a drink at $7.75. It was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating it. We also ordered the tempura rock shrimp. You must try them! They come with the Yum Yum sauce - they certainly live up to this name. We dined in and the restaurant is brand new and spotless. read more

Me and my girlfriend both got a chicken hibachi meal the chicken was touch like laffy taffy we both felt sick to our stomachs after eating it like it was left over chicken I threw up and she feels terrible never going back read more

I went on 3/31/22 to eat at this restaurant. I have been to this restaurant once in the past and did not think much of it. I figure I give it a shot again. I had the Hibachi Chicken . I waited for the food which I do not mind thinking it will be nice and hot and fresh. Instead the chicken was not even lukewarm, the vegetables were somewhat warm ,the rice was the hottest out of the dish. The chicken was tough and felt like it was cooked yesterday. The price was like 11 something dollars for dinner, and I felt I was robbed due to the poor quality of the meal . I am watching how busy the orders to go and thinking people can not be that stupid to continue to support poor quality meals not worth there price they charge . I thought when its Hibachi Grill that my food would be cooked fresh on grill. Due to the coldness of the chicken I found this restaurant to be misleading and even crooked to even charge for yesterdays left over chicken ,11 bucks . Well never again will they get my money for food that's not even worth eating . I just can not understand people that keep going there? Unless my meal is the only one that they screwed up , or not give a flying freak about? Shame on your food Hibachi Express. read more

This place is not super fancy, however my boyfriend and I had a fantastic date night here! Had some steamed gyoza, and sushi (wished for a few more fun options but still good!), and finished with some chicken and seafood hibachi. It was pretty affordable as well and that yumm yumm sauce was exactly that! Well be back for another casual night and when we're feeling some good hibachi. read more
