Been here a few times and just had one of their poke bowls made by koko who by the way is always kind and courteous! Fresh and worth every penny! Live close by and they take pride in what they make. Very generous with their portions too! My fav is their steak and shrimp. Check it out as I highly recommend this place! J read more

Hibachi2Go - Poke bowl! - Japanese Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Staff was very nice and welcoming, the hibachis was good. We got the steak and shrimp one, and the chicken a shrimp one, a little salty for me but my wife and dad finished most of it. It was a little bit expensive for the amount of food on each plate My kids got the chicken kaarage, and gyoza, pretty standard. the yellowtail and avocado roll, the rice on the sushi was a little bit mushy. The hibachi came in to go containers instead of plates, which was a little odd, since we eating there. Bathrooms nice and clean, store organized, Good for a quick bite. Dragon egg approved read more

Palm Desert seems to be a little skimpy with really good food options but we came across Hibachi2Go. Thought it might be a nice option considering most options are chains or fast food. We ordered too late so takeout was the only option. We tried the ribeye and salmon combo as well as the chicken and shrimp hibachi combo. We also ordered a Dynamite roll, California and a Shrimp Tempura roll. The hibachi items were okay. We were hungry and it seemed to fit the bill. The salmon was a bit salty and the ribeye was a little dry. The shrimp was fine but the chicken was a little bland. You get a white spicy sauce with it, unsure if you drizzle or dip. It didn't add much more flavor, just a little kick. The rolls were standard. The Dynamite sounded so appealing with the soy rice paper, but overall it was average. The white spicy sauce was drizzled over it plus the Dynamite is already a spicy roll to begin with, so be forewarned. For the chef to have lived in Japan and have extensive experience in Japanese restaurants, the expectation was a bit higher. Our whole order was $82 but they do add a surcharge which is the cost to pay with your credit card. Side note: It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine when businesses charge you this fee bc to me it's their cost of doing business. Businesses never used to do this, but seemed to have pivoted to this after covid. They should just build it into the cost of the food. Anyway, overall this place was a good change of pace for the offerings in Palm Desert, but unsure if I would return here. read more

Hibachi2Go - Chicken & Rib Eye Steak bowl with fried rice!!! - Japanese Near Me - Palm Desert, California

I was dropping off my UPS packages at the pharmacy, and I noticed this little restaurant. I'm new to the area and was hoping to find a few really good casual restaurants nearby. I ordered the shrimp and chicken hibachi which came with five shrimp, several pieces of chicken breast slices, fried rice, sautéed julienned vegetables and a little container of a spicy mayo sauce. The vegetables had an odd taste, which I couldn't pinpoint, the shrimp was good but the chicken was bland. Luckily the sauce gave it some taste. I was really hoping for a little better. I'm hoping the owners read some of the critiques so they can make a few enhancements that customers would love to see so we can patronize their restaurant frequently. The restaurant was clean and smelled fresh. read more

My husband and I enjoyed our lunch sushi rolls here at Hibachi2Go and getting lots of cool relief from the heat! Service was efficient and straightforward. So that really helped with ordering our food. We had the Eel Rolls and Rainbow Rolls. Instead of the usual white rice we decided on the purple rice. Since we came in the middle of a hot day in Palm Springs, we noticed the nice ambience of the restaurant. read more

My wife and I stopped here for lunch on an incredibly hot day. The restaurant and its friendly, delightful owner that we ordered from were a blast of cool air. My wife and I ordered the Rainbow Roll (with salmon, tuna and avocado) and the eel roll. We ordered both rolls with purple rice, which I haven't seen before at a sushi restaurant. As we waited for our order the owner suggested we get a canned drink or a bottle of water on the house as it was so hot outside. We were very grateful for that! Both sushi dishes were delicious. The Rainbow Roll's salmon and tuna were fresh and the avocado freshly cut. The eel on the Eel roll was thick and flavorful. I liked the purple rice. The portion sizes were generous and my wife and I left feeling full. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant and relaxed --- and cool! And importantly, the prices were very reasonable. read more

When you first come in, you have to order at the counter and then you take a seat and they can bring the food to you. I did not really enjoy doing that but it's the way they run their business. We ordered the gyoza as appetizer and for entrées we have the dynamite roll, the rainbow roll, and a ribeye steak and chicken plate. They did not have any fountain drinks only bottled drinks. There was another group sitting down waiting to get their food when we were ordering. The people I was with felt that the food took quite a while to come out. The gyoza are dipping sauce had little to no flavor and some of them were a little overcooked. Both of the sushi rolls were great and mine was actually spicy which they normally aren't so it caught me a little off guard, but it was great and very tasty. The steak and chicken plate was overly salted and it had too much sauce. Overall, the ambience was kind of offputting and not really welcoming in a sense so I don't think we would be back because there was nothing really special about the service or the food. read more

Excellent food! Just moved to the desert and was craving hibachi but wanted to stay home to watch the basketball games. Food was fresh and rice, steak, shrimp, scallops, vegetables and Yakisoba all were amazing! Will be a new frequent spot for date night at home for us! read more

Hibachi2Go - Steak and shrimp combination with fried rice - Japanese Near Me - Palm Desert, California

I was in the mood for a light lunch and wanted something (relatively) healthy from the asian genre. After looking on yelp I came across this 4.4 star place on Yelp so I had to go and judge the food for myself. Yellowtail Nigiri: 5 stars! Delicious rice; perfectly cooked. Quality of yellowtail is simply 5 star. Delicious, velvety feel in the mouth and a good-sized portion for the price. I would order this again. Rainbow Roll: 4 stars. Yummy rainbow roll. Again, delicious sushi rice; perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. The quality of all the fish was great, and the portion was more filling than I expected. Presentation is simple, yet beautiful (see photo). Not 5 star, but very good sushi. I would like to see a better quality wasabi paste. Sushi is a challenge here in the Coachella Valley, but the folks here at Hibachi are doing well, although I will have to ask that they omit the mayonnaise sauce atop the rainbow roll the next time I come here. Service: 5 star Order at the counter before you sit down. If you have questions, the staff is happy to answer them for you and give their opinion on what they like / recommend. Restroom Gender neutral restroom is clean and handicap accessible. I'm happy to see more and more sushi places pop up in the Coachella Valley and I look forward to coming back to Hibachi2Go. I will have to try their hibachi next time as it seems like this is what everyone was ordering. read more

Hibachi2Go - Rainbow roll: 4 stars, Yellowtail Nigiri: 5 stars! - Japanese Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Sat in the dining room, waiting to order while the guy played on his phone. after 10 minutes, I asked him for a menu and he said I have to order at the counter. When I asked him why they were asking me for a 2025 or 30% tip. He told me at least I'm not ordering from a robot. I'm tired of people asking for a tip just because they can . canceled my order and left. read more

Hibachi2Go - Japanese Near Me - Palm Desert, California

This place really surprised us. Tucked away in a strip mall, and serving quality dishes (with HUGE portions and brilliant plating.) We had the chicken and shrimp hibachi combo. This dish is easily big enough to split. And the poke bowl was one of the best ones I've ever had. Don't tell anyone, but the sashimi was so big; I had to tear it into smaller portions because the pieces were HUGE. The chef here knows what she is doing. It's worth a visit. read more

Black rice? Very limited sushi selection, edamame with siracha chile omg was awful. won't be back.

This is a horrible place to order from since new ownership. Customer service is horrible prices went up and food is not as good. We wanted to give them a try and continue going. They've made mistakes on our orders a few times when we call them on it, they said too bad. It's not their problem. read more

Delicious! I was craving sushi and fried rice (to pick up) and this didn't disappoint! My only edit would be that there were too many onions in the fried rice but other than that it was great! read more

it was the first time I've ever tried it and I've lived here for 20 years I walked in after 8:04 o'clock and I guess they don't close until 830 they told me they were not interested in serving me as I was interested in buying some steak and some chicken with rice after I got done working out at the gym I will never go in there again and I do not recommend it they are lazy with terrible service. what is worse is all the employees I guess maybe they own the place we're just sitting at the back table none of them wanted to even get up and go to the counter and also I saw some rotten fruit fish in the glass counter upfront I cannot recommend this place for any reason whatsoever it's terrible stay away. what I don't understand is why do they even show up to work if they don't want to help people they're just sitting in the back doing nothing they didn't even wanna come to the counter I don't even understand why they're in business that's all I have to say about it it smelled bad in there too have a nice day read more

I'm only giving this 3 stars because they changed the rice to some weird colored rice. Otherwise I'd give 5 stars. The purple rice is so unappetizing. I paid $46 for takeout sushi and I didn't want to eat it because the color is just awful. On top of that they couldn't really tell me what was in it so I felt weird eating it. read more

:( I wanted to love this place but it was not what we expected, portions were small and we ended up getting sick to our stomachs. It smelled and tasted like the rice had been sitting there a while and against my best judgement we still ate it and now we are all sick. I would avoid. The cashier was also rude and acted like we were bothering her when we were picking up our food. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would!! The last time I came here I arrived 5 minutes after the time they open for dinner. The door was locked and no one was inside. So I sat and waited patiently in the car for another 10 minutes. Still no one came. I left and ran errands in the same strip mall and finally saw a man coming to open the door 40 minutes later. He claimed that someone in his family had gotten into a car accident. Ok, fair enough. Apparently they have NO employees and are just a "mom & pop" shop, so there isn't anyone they can call to step in if they're sick or running late. But I love supporting small businesses so I have no problem with this. The problem was with the food. I ordered a stir fry with meat. The chicken was hard and the meat was 90% fat. I ended up having to throw most of it out. Never went back, but I was just talking to a friend last week who said she loved this place, so I was coming into town and decided to give it one more try. I didn't know if they were open for lunch, or what time they closed, so I checked their website and it says that they're open for lunch until 2:30. I had also called in and asked what time they were open to and was told 2:30 for lunch. It also says this printed on their front doors under hours. I arrived with my husband at 2:10 and went right up to the counter to order. I knew exactly what we wanted and planned to gobble it down because I had to be at another nearby appointment by 2:45. When I started to order they said they were already closed for dining in. I was like WHAT?? I drove in from far away and did check your website and did call and everything said 2:30, and it's still 20 minutes before 2:30. I was very RUDELY told by the young lady who works the order counter that "we are allowed to pick & choose our own rules and we chose to close at 2:00 for dining in. We need to go home!" I mean, there was NO apology, no empathy, no appreciation for the fact that I was a paying customer there to buy food and support their small business. They could not have been more rude. The older couple who was in the back came out and also rudely told me that they need to get home!! When I politely asked why they closed at 2:00 if they told me over the phone they closed at 2:30, and their website says the same thing, their reply was "well we didn't know if you wanted to dine in or order to go when we told you our hours!" And I said, "but you didn't ask me, and if you do not take dine-in customers after 2:00 then shouldn't you post that on your website, or at least let people know when they call in to specifically ask about your hours?" Her reply was "everybody knows!!" Wow!!! I didn't know and I'm somebody. What an arrogant, rude, unappreciative business this is!!! I wouldn't go back here if they paid me to. The food was awful last time, and with this kind of attitude I doubt they'll stay in business much longer, which is exactly what they deserve! With the economy slow, and businesses closing down left & right you would think they'd learn how to treat people better. Especially since I kept saying that they were absolutely entitled to close at whatever time they wanted to, but it shouldn't be a time that is earlier and different than what they have posted on their website, and different than they tell people when they call in to ask about their hours. All they have to do is post on their website that dining-in closes at 2:00 and ordering to-go closes at 2:30. That would be very simple, right? When I asked that very logical, simple question they told me that not only did they have the right to choose what time they close, but they also had the right to choose who they served and who they didn't, and at that point they said they were refusing me service!!! Keep in mind that I never insulted them, never yelled at them, and was just asking very logical questions that apparently they did not want to have to answer because they knew they were in the wrong. But instead of admitting that, and offering a sincere apology, which would've been more than enough for me, they decided to act extremely rudely, as if it was me who had done something wrong by coming in to give them money and order food at 2:10. There are so many other restaurants to go to who show sincere gratitude and appreciation for their customers, I advise everyone to go to those places instead!! read more

Really good sushi and it really exceeded our expectations. The sushi was well priced and very fresh. We got the shrimp tempura, dragon (our favorite), eel, California, and some sashimi/sushi (came from the combo). All was very good. The restaurant was very cute and the staff was friendly. I would highly recommend! read more

Hibachi2Go - Shrimp tempura, dragon, eel, California, sashimi and sushi... very good and fresh!! - Japanese Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Fast service, you order your food at the front counter. Sushi' is very delicious, and fresh. Can't beat the price! Nowadays fish are very expensive, this place is a local family owned, and I LOVE supporting local businesses. They have plenty of sushi menu options, as well as different type of hibachi, and lots of appetizers (edamame, gyoza, shrimp tempura, etc). I also got a cold glass of Sapporo. :) read more

Food was great, especially for the price! Nice casual restaurant and service was friendly.

Salmon hibachi was great. Rib eye yakisoba was too salty. Average portion size. Fast cooking time - 10 mins

The food is really solid. However, if they're busy it may take close to an hour to get your food. My advice is to call ahead, and take your time getting there. read more

The food presentation is genuinely beautiful and kudos for the effort. The visual presentation exceeded what I expected. The sushi roll in the attached picture was pretty good. The rest of the food was somewhat average. I would say it's a good match of cost to the food taste and quality. read more

Great lunch spot and the hibachi is very good here. I typically get the chicken. We typically order at the counter, eat there and have not had to wait long for our meals. The spicy sauce that is served on the side is delicious! If you want extra, they do charge for it. Every time we've been for lunch, I always look at their other options and end up getting what I know. I'm sure the other menu items are tasty too! read more

I ordered for takeout and the girl that took my order clearly was over her shift. If you follow me, you know service weighs heavy on my reviews and this place easily loses 2 stars just based on bad service.. and you're on the phone to take a Togo order.. no need to be so grumps. Anyway, the fish and presentation is the only great thing about this place. The rice was waaaay undercooked.. so much so that we picked off the fish and threw out all the rice bc no one wants hard rice sushi.. I am hoping this is just a fluke because this place clearly is highly rated.. so sad that ours was so bad. The fish, however was fresh and was a good cut. The rolls were heavy on the rice.. but I guess you pay for what you get. This place is fairly cheap for sushi.. so I should have known better. I literally cannot remember the last time I gave a place 2 stars.. but it was deserved. I guess I would recommend and see if your service and food is better than ours.. but we definitely will not be back. Shame. read more

I thought this place would be very busy considering how well they plate the sushi on the pictures! so we went during dinner hours, it was nice and empty, although it did feel very stuffy inside could use a fan or two. So food review. This place does not disappoint!! Everything we got was so flavorful! And everything was beautifully plated and for the price it wasn't bad either considering how much we got. Definitely would be coming back to this restaurant read more

Nothing tasted good. We were very disappointed. Will not be ordering again. It's unfortunate because I would like to support new businesses.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while, I finally got a chance to. I ordered the chicken and shrimp hibachi combo and let me say that for the price it's not worth it. Good thing I didn't tip. The chicken was bland, the shrimp was flavorful, and the fried rice was just ok. Will I be back? Maybe to try their sushi but not for their hibachi. read more
