Not bad for a local hibachi restaurant. Rice was delicious, you get a good portion size as well as a good size of white sauce.

First time going spent 31, and honestly was a waste of money the yum yum sauce tasted weird like it was sitting In a dirty bin, the steak and rice was unseasoned the only thing good was the sushi. Besides that the service was good read more

They have the best hibachi in Knightdale in my opinion. The yum yum sauce is to die for as well. It's not exactly gourmet but I'm okay with that. read more

Looks are deceiving because when I open the container. I was like, OK!! I've ordered from here a few times. Average food, but today was the worst! The fried rice tasted months old, and as I kept digging through with my fork in the hibachi chicken and shrimp and something about the taste was completely off. Will not and can not give them another opportunity. Food is too expensive to be thrown away, and that's exactly what I did. Such a travesty! read more

Hibachi K Express - Hibachi chicken and shrimp with fried rice. - Japanese Near Me - Knightdale, North Carolina

This restaurant has great sushi. I couldn't eat that well at iPho and sushi, I came here and all are satisfied. Their salmon was very fresh (deep orange color), no smell, the fat and the taste melt in my mouth. Their tuna was also very naturally flavored. You would not feel, smell or taste anything chemical like. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

The yum yum sauce is on the thinker side, quality, not runny like other places and taste just like kanki. The yum yum sauce cups are big and plentiful. The chicken hibachi dish is delicious. Chicken seasoned nicely. Vegetables cooked well, rice cooked well. 10 out of 10 for me. The prices are reasonable too! Great customer service as well. read more

How do you serve hibachi without veggies? I don't understand. Definite shame to get back and realize it's just meat and rice.

So I originally ordered food on Uber and cancelled my order because it was taking forever to have a driver pick up my food. They ended up charging me for the price of the food. So I call up to hibachi K express and speak to a lady. She says the food is still here and not cold so come pick it up. I go pick it up and someone who appears to be the owner (nice watch) asked me my name and was kinda just giving me a hard time. He ends up asking me to pay an additional $16 on top of the inflated price I was charged on Uber eats ($20). After being told on the phone to just come and pick it up. Lost my business. read more

The food is decent but cost more than its worth. They took the prices up and it's just not worth it any more for carry out. I found a better spot that I can sit down and eat at for a better price. Going here lack the experience of good food: No environment. read more

Got two chicken hibachi dinners with fried rice and extra yum yum sauce. This is my sixth visit and felt that there was far more rice than in the past and far less veggies and chicken. Service is fast so I typically phone my order in from the parking lot and walk in and the food is ready within five minutes after paying. read more

I think it's time for me to call it quits with this establishment. I decided to get dinner for my kids and I after not having been here for over a year. I hadn't been because I kept forgetting it existed. My latest experience makes me wish I had forgotten it. I ordered our meals using DoorDash. I ordered two chicken rice bowls and a chicken/steak rice bowl. This was confirmed via the receipt I received from DoorDash. When the food arrived, the chicken rice bowls were correct, but my chicken/steak rice bowl included all of the vegetables. I wanted to have the food replaced and called Hibachi K. Unfortunately, the manager was unwilling to resolve the issue. I explained what I ordered. The manager stated that they did not receive the order as containing a chicken/steak rice bowl. The order was received as being the regular entree with the vegetables. The manager proceeded to say, "You'll need to talk to DoorDash. We just cook the food." I explained that I could drive over and show the receipt with what I ordered. The manager continued to say I would need to contact DoorDash. I understood where he was coming from, but didn't think this was the best way to treat customers. We went back and forth, but the manager continued to say that I need to contact DoorDash. I did contact DoorDash who couldn't understand why the restaurant received the incorrect order. Though I was refunded the money from DoorDash, I was still left without a meal to eat. I was also left frustrated that the manager does not seem to know how to treat his customers. read more

Moved to Knightdale late Feb 2020. We didn't move far, just 7 miles, from Raleigh. But just as social distancing and quarantine talk was starting we were trying to find our way around a new community, neighborhood, etc. Anyway, we had been striking out for days. When we finally found out about them, it was just barely 10 minutes from closing time and ( 8 minute drive with traffic. ) They still let me place a big order, of course I got lost on the way... so by the time I got there it was close to 10 minutes after closing time but you'd never have know it from they were treating me. Everyone was so kind and hospitable. ETA- wtf- I forgot to mention the food... At a restaurant... Seriously though- The food was ABSOLUTELY phenomenal! I got a chicken teriyaki bowl someone else got the chicken hibachi bowl and someone else got the veggie bowl. Everything was perfect. They were very accommodating to a couple of special requests and it was just an overall great experience can't wait to go back read more

When my normal hibachi place -- Hibachi 88 -- was closed for Sunday and an intense hibachi chicken craving hit, I ended up getting Hibachi K Express. I will not be doing that again. There were a couple issues, but the biggest thing is that my styrofoam box for my to go order was only half full, the servings of vegetables and chicken were very small, and chicken was over cooked. Further, I had to cover my food in yum yum sauce to eat it. As much as I love yum yum sauce, it's meant to enhance a meal -- not make it edible. When I spend more than a few dollars on food, I hope for it to be good and I expect for it to be edible. read more

Ordered on Uber eats, first order was canceled because the restaurant wouldn't fulfill the "special request" but I didn't have one. Figured it may have been a mistake and reordered, the delivery driver then called me and said the restaurant would not fulfill the order because there was a $6 difference on a $50 order and refused to do anything about it and asked me to cancel the order myself. read more

The first time, I came here for dinner , the place is kind of 'take out' restaurant. It is good food and price. The staff is friendly. I recommand this place for quick dine and quiet place. read more

Hibachi K Express - Hibachi salmon adding shrimp. It is so yummy! - Japanese Near Me - Knightdale, North Carolina

Sushi roll was bad...brown salmon! The delivery driver left the order at the door and never rang the bell.

The food was made and delivered in a timely manner. The vegetable spring rolls are VERY GOOD!! We ordered steak n shrimp and steak n chicken hibachi with fried rice. The food was good! Only thing was there wasn't much meat, poultry or shrimp. Mainly vegetables and rice. If they added enough meat to validate the price then it would have been 5 stars. Ok and they forgot my extra yum yum sauce read more

I stop by here from time to time mainly because it's the closest sushi restaurant to home. The look of the restaurant might give off meh vibe (i.e. sticky floor), but the sushi here is pretty decent. It's fairly affordable for pretty good sushi. I had good interactions with the people at Hibachi K. The only thing that I can't love this place is how unclean it feels to dine it here. Both floor and the tables are all sticky. Every single time I visited here, I've never had non-sticky floor nor tables. That makes me wonder if things are really clean here. Nevertheless, I will give 3 stars because I do enjoy their sushi! read more

I order takeout from this restaurant all the time and my order is always 100% accurate and the hibachi is the best. They also have the best white sauce I've ever had. Not 'watered down' like other places. I order through delivery services so I can't say much about actually visiting this place, but I definitely plan on it soon read more

Terrible service and the greasiest spring rolls I've ever seen. Small amount of shrimp and the chicken was terribly dry. Did not put the sauces in the bad I ordered. Will never go here again. Manager was also rude. Said I needed to bring the food back by a certain time for a replacement. Here's your picture of your bad food read more

Hibachi K Express - Greasy spring rolls - Japanese Near Me - Knightdale, North Carolina

There are a few stores every town has, big or small: Wal-mart, McDonald's, and fast Asian food restaurant called "Hibachi Express." Seriously. Pull up Google Map and see how many "Hibachi Express" are in your town? So if you have been to similar Hibachi place, you should know the deal: small store, set course lunch specials, your choice of chicken or beef or shrimp, plus the ultimate decision: do I want the white sauce, or the ginger sauce? All that, and authentic Asian guy behind the plexiglass with paper hat and funny apron making a racket and cooking up a storm. Tell me that I did not just describe your Hibachi place too. One cool thing about this here however, is the fact they keep the soup self-serve, inside a thermo tea dispenser. Sure it's nothing spectacular, just your standard clear beef broth, but still the fact to be able to getting your own soup, with thinly sliced mushrooms and green scallions on the side, is pretty neat. Besides that deal, this is a decent simple and quick "grab your takeout and go back to work" kind of place, but of course they have seats inside should you spare five to ten minutes away from your work or errands. P.S. I think that Grand Opening sign has been hanging for a while, so I don't know when the specials will ends, but if you are getting your hibachi on in the next few days, try to get the Manager's Hibachi Special, complete with drink and soup: veggie $6, Chicken $7, Beef $7, Shrimp $8. read more

Not even ONE yum yum (white) sauce comes with hibachi so be prepared to order "extra." Meat/Protein is minimal. I order the "3" hibachi because I wanted a lot of protein and was willing to pay extra for it. I had less protein than my daughter's single hibachi that cost less. I had 2 broccoli & 2 each of other vegetables & a ton of 27 cent onions. Flavor was overall okay, 2 stars. read more

Worst hibachi in town , ordered here on accident figured I'd give it a try anyways but was highly disappointed. I recommend hibachi express on Ake forest if your down for the extra drive if not kiko Japan is across the street and 10X better read more

Best hibachi in the area for the price. They also have a very good sushi deal (buy a roll get one free). Not a very long wait. Biggest problem is the staff aren't friendly. I have gone plenty of times and they're always rude or seem put-out to take an order. It's annoying but I still get the food. If bad customer service doesn't bother you then it's a great spot. read more

I went here last night to get me and my boyfriend some dinner. We ordered what we usually get at any hibachi place and then he got a sushi roll as well. A little while after eating, my boyfriend woke up and was throwing up this happened 3-4 more times and we were thinking it was the sushi, and then i also started throwing up so i'm thinking it was probably the chicken. I have been to this place lots of times in the past but I will no longer be going back. read more

I've eaten here before and food was good. Came in at 8:45 and told they were closed even though sign says open till 9 and open sign was lit up. Too bad. I liked their sushi. They were not even friendly or apologetic about it. read more

Hibachi K Express - Sign says open, door says open till 9 pm. Evidently that means 8:45. - Japanese Near Me - Knightdale, North Carolina

Had lunch here on Sunday and the experience was not good. First they had no ice for drinks, (broken ice maker)but they didn't bother to say anything before you ordered nor did they bother to walk next door to the Lowe's food and pick up a bag of ice to satisfy their customers. Then they ran out of steak as soon as they opened. We sat down to eat as we had errands in town. There were several tables that were not cleaned. One has to assume from the night before because we were among the first customers of the day. Employees were complaining the whole time instead of taking some action to improve the situation. *Call your manager tell them the issues *walk next door to buy ice and steak, *wash your tables, clean your floors *don't burden your customers with your bad attitude. No way will I ever go back. Food was ok but was thinking the whole time "Is the kitchen as dirty as the tables & floor?" and couldn't enjoy the meal. read more

Sorry Knightdale, but your restaurant options fall somewhere between "Rock" and "Hard Place". That being said, I think this is the better hibachi option in the area. If you have to choose one, I'd chose this one. But.. if you can drive to another part of the county... I'd go there instead. read more

This place is a joke. I called my order in and they told me 15-20 minutes. So I arrive about 20 minutes later and they ask my name and tell me that I didn't ever place an order. I read back the phone number I called and they said well we don't actually know it. They told me it would be another 10 minutes so I waited and my order came up wrong but I was at the point where it was fine because I was just starved. I took it and when I got home my rice was hard and gross and the veggies were bland and hardly cooked. Definitely go to kikos across 64 instead. read more

I got dinner here on 5/12/22 and it made us very sick throwing up a few hours after eating! Only me and my daughter ate here and we were the only ones sick. Today I went in and spoke with the manager and he completely blew me off was very rude saying he can't just refund people their money! Why would I waste my time for $23 I paid them to make me sick NEVER WILL I GO HERE AGAIN!!!! read more

First time eating here and will be the last. Ordered hibachi steak and shrimp to go. When I got home and opened it up. It was barely halfway filled and was over done. The sushi that we ordered looked and tasted good. Extremely disappointed about the hibachi though and won't be coming back. read more

Quality and service has gone way down, I used to love their sushi but they keep changing their menu and cutting the sushi options down to basic rolls. read more

They don't offer bogo sushi anymore so with that alone I'm disappointed. The other food choices are lack luster ..

I've called so many times and they never answer. All On different days! I love their food but the service is not what it used to be. read more

I love this place, the price is right and the quality of food is there. The chefs formerly worked at Kanki Restaurant in Raleigh. They are presently expanding their Knightdale location the adjacent parcel that was formerly a FedEx packing center. It will be part of their new sushi bar. This place is on fire, seriously good and price is spot-on. They use fresh ingredients and the sauces are great tatsing. Try them, you won't regret it! read more

Excellent food and service. I get lunch from there occasionally and have never had anything but good food. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner read more

This is most likely the last time I will ever stop here. Not the warm a friendly place i used to know, you see I went there to meet my son and wife her because has started to enjoy sushi after 25 years of not wishing to try it. Anyway I placed and order for 4 rolls 2 @$11.95 & 2@ $9.50 with the BOGO FREE offer ,this would have come to 11.95 for one and 9.50 for the second,simple math right? Instead the man behind the counter wished to charge me 11.95 for both orders. At this time i referred the young man of the pricing of his menu items and i was told it doesn't matter what the menu said or reflected, they were going to charge me the higher price of the two orders!!! I informed the person that I was no getting one roll of a higher price and one roll of a lower price, if this was the case i could understand his reason sense this was not the case the only thing that comes to mind was that I am a afro American Male and this maybe an opportunity for him to cheat me out of money, considering I asked for a breakdown of charges. NEEDLESS TO SAY I TOLD THEM I DO NOT NEED THEIR FOOD IF THE IS HOW YOU TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS!!! read more

Highly suggest to not go here at all especially if it's for sushi. I ordered a shrimp tempura roll and there weren't even any shrimp in the actual sushi. i ordered it for take out so it was too late to say anything but just a heads up, do not go here especially for sushi. read more

This is a nice little place. Kind of a fast sushi fix. Me and my daughter love the get away. Don't have the big sushi restaurant feel. Little more intimate. Fast and bogo is always a plus. You get free soup by the soda maxhine. Seems like the do a lot more take out. But for a nice sit down without out the frills. And just some great food this place is tops in my book read more
