We went to the hibachi before going to see Tecumseh. Our waitress was so cute and sweet. We had excellent service. The food was quick. It tasted delicious! My husband said he has not taken one bite that he does not love. I would highly recommend this cute little place in the middle of this small town. He will not be disappointed.! read more

I've never been here before, and while I'll say the food was good, my first impression was not. We walked in, stood at the door waiting to see if we should take a seat or go up to the counter to place our order. We were asked by the lady at the register how many we had. We said "two." She hollered back that they had a waitlist. So we went up to the counter to add our names to the waitlist. While standing at the counter, two separate groups of two walked in and took the two available tables. The same lady at the counter then said "Oh you can take an available table." What? We just lost two other tables for your imaginary wait list! She said "We just needed to clean off the tables, you can sit anywhere." We both ordered the Shrimp Bento Box which came with soup and a salad. What's strange is only one of our plates came with fried vegetables. Decent food, small town feel, just not a good impression. read more

I ordered hibachi chicken , The chicken fried rice was dry overcooked. My chicken was chewy and also dry and overcooked. I didn't get soup and they usually substitute Yum Yum but charge me two dollars for two sides of Yum Yum sauce. It was mediocre food. I've been here multiple times and always had a good experience, but this time was not worth my money. read more

Food is only second to the service. But the service is just THAT good. The ambience is just right for a casual dinner and good conversation.

Darn good, start to finish. I should have gotten hibachi, their specialty, but I was already leaning away from that since I wasn't starving and it was hot and muggy outside. I figured sushi maybe. And they have a good selection, and I ordered a roll, but also saw a daily special: crab Rangoon nachos. When they brought those out they were HUGE, and I asked to cancel the sushi roll. Luckily, they still could. I barely finished the nachos. Crispy fried wontons, with shredded krab on top, essentially krab salad with the meat, some creamy cheese, scallions, etc. They were not skimpy with the krab. It was good, chilled so refreshing on a hot day, and reasonably priced. Service was great. There's a lot on the menu I want to try. I have relatives in town so maybe we'll be back (and it was funny to look at the Yelp pictures and see some of them.) Free street parking on weekends. Cool space. Get here when you can. read more

I have family who have always spoken highly about Hometown Hibachi so we decided to finally stop here! We both chose the hibachi meals one because of the amount of food you get! We wanted to have leftovers for later lol I had the combination of chicken and salmon hibachi with fried rice! Very good choice. My wife ordered the chicken hibachi and fried rice! Both had an excellent flavor and a generous meal! The atmosphere is definitely laid back but small seating. There is a few outside tables so on a sunny day it would be nice to eat outside! Our server was very friendly and kept our drinks full without having to ask for a refill and in my opinion thats a major win! All in all of your in Chillicothe or traveling through the area stop in! read more

Amazing place! Local, great people, great food, great service, great portions, great prices, all and all amazing!!

Had ramen today level 2. WOW! I also enjoyed Shrimp tempura and a mango roll. My friend had chicken and salmon hibachi and California roll. All of the food was delicious and a lot of food. So bring a appetite or be ready to share. If not, take the rest home. Great personality and care for the customers. read more

Came to Chillicothe to do some sight seeing; I'm originally from California and my boyfriend and I came to visit his family and stopped here to try some sushi/hibachi. The food portions are big! We didn't expect to receive so much but it was a lot for how much we paid. The sushi was good, a little heavy on the sauce but overall I enjoyed it! I loved the tempura and the gyoza was pretty tasty as well. My boyfriend enjoyed the chicken hibachi too (: The interior was really clean, a bit smoky from the kitchen but aside from that, I liked the decor and ambiance. The service was awesome! Our server was really nice and attentive. I ordered the American Dream and the Chillicothe rolls, though the kitchen accidentally gave me the Hometown along with the Chillicothe roll. They gave us the extra roll for free! We'll definitely come back here again (: read more

Love this place! The vegetable hibachi with noodles is delicious. The soup is great too! Love the environment as we prefer to eat in the restaurant rather than doing pickup. read more

My wife and I always visit this restaurant when we are in Chillicothe. The hibachi here is better than any of the others that I've had in my life. It is always comprised of fresh ingredients and they have fast service. Each meal comes with a side salad, soup, and yum yum sauce. You can also let them know you would like no vegetables and then you can get both rice (a ton) and lo mein noodles; whereas it is usually one or the other. I would recommend the NY steak and chicken meal. The chicken and steak are always and seasoned cooked to perfection! read more

This was my first time to visit this restaurant. I wanted to change from my normal routine. The service was great, the food was even better, I will definitely bring my wife over there with me at some point in the near future. Eggrolls were incredible. The Ramen was the best I've ever had. read more

The serving was huge, chicken and shrimp were absolutely murdered. SO dry and chewy. The steak was overcooked, I ordered medium rare filet, but still edible. Noodles were overcooked. The sushi hometown roll was good. The menus are sticky, table was a little sticky. Service was...ok?! I mean, she brought the food to the table and said thank you at the end. We would definitely not return. read more

Great food and servings very plentiful. I had the chicken hibachi with the noodles. Very tasty. Also had the tuna roll sushi, it was good but have had much better. Over all I would definitely eat there again. read more

It's cramped. Social distancing isn't something they are taking very seriously. The portion sizes are huge on the fried rice but skimpy on the meat. The shrimp was very firm. The fried rice was dripping with soy. The spring rolls were greasy. A great price but a disappointment in quality. read more

LOVE Hometown Hibachi - everything is great. I love the gyoza and recently tried the new chicken ramen added to the menu - outstanding. Of course you can never go wrong with their hibachi! read more

Hibachi is good! Located in downtown Chillicothe and this place is darling. I have not tried the sushi yet.

Delicious and reasonably priced for the portion sizes. I've only ever gotten takeout from Hometown but would enjoy actually dining in one of these days. The service has always been great too. read more

The base sauce for the chicken and rice was very good, adding the yum yum sauce made the food great! The dining area is so cute, with touches of downtown Chillicothe. Our food was enough for 3-4 people, so great for the price. When we got carry out during a pandemic, I called immediately at 4 PM to put in an order ready at 5 PM. It was ready and hot. I love the soup and salad that comes with every meal. Each meal is enough for three servings for me, so I know I am getting a good deal. The Yum Yum sauce makes me return every time, it is good on the noodles and chicken and shrimp. Hometown hibachi I know is locally run, so I will continue to support small businesses in Chillicothe. read more

Good food. Huge portions order one meal for 2. Nice sushi selection also. Really enjoyed and very reasonable

A lot of tasty food for a great price- a green salad, miso soup, and big plate of fried rice, veggies and your protein of choice. I had all vegetable and they were not overcooked :) the teriyaki base on the veggies is delightful, soy sauce in the fried rice tasty, and they give you a big thing of yum yum sauce. Very generous with the portions! Wait staff were friendly and the interaction was a breeze. I'd eat here again for sure. read more

Hometown Hibachi - Vegetable hibachi in the front. Massive plate!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Chillicothe, Ohio

From food truck to brick and mortar, this restaurant appears to continue to grow in popularity and its long wait times. Thankfully the food is worth the wait (35 minutes from the time we placed the order). Also the fried rice portion size is huge so for the price you're getting a meal and a half. I was also pleased with the protein portion size. Like the majority of hibachi meals, it comes with a salad of iceberg lettuce and clear soup. It really hit the spot on a cool evening! And if I could I guarantee you won't go away hungry. read more

Quick update: Things have definitely improved -- service was super friendly tonight, tables were wiped and clean even being busy, food came out quicker, soup was hot, salad was fresh and crisp, and even the hibachi tasted flavorful and wasn't super oily! I'm glad to see things are smoothing out being a recently opened restaurant! read more

This is a great addition to Chillicothe's downtown restaurant scene. The menu is simple and what they do, they do well. My wife and I typically share a hibachi entree, which along with an extra soup and salad, is plenty. The gyoza appetizer is excellent and the spring rolls are typical but also very good. My grandson, naturally, loves the Japanese "marble soda" (a marble built into the bottle) The owner and primary chef is a proud Balinese gentleman and his wife runs the front of the restaurant. I think it's great that someone from the other side of the world has settled in our little town. Chillicothe has welcomed this restaurant with open arms for good reason. A must try! read more

Absolutely delicious food, amazing value, and friendly service! Everything is fresh, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and piled on your plate. No skimping on portions here! The salad and soup are simple, but that's how they're supposed to be. They're the perfect little pre meal warmup. Menu selection is great! A good variety of entrees, appetizers, unique beverages, and desserts...even kids meals. I see that another reviewer commented on the decor, while I feel that it is sort of a mixed vibe, so what? It's a cute and comfortable setup and is very clean-after all, it's all about the delicious food! Highly recommend! Definitely worth walking a couple blocks if you can't find a parking space. Great addition to downtown! read more

I was visiting Chillicothe, Ohio and went to Hometown Hibachi for dinner because they had good reviews. The restaurant is located in downtown Chillicothe. There were few people there when my husband & I arrived. We ordered an appetizer of Tempura vegetables. I ordered the chicken Hibachi & my husband ordered the combo plate of steak & shrimp Hibachi. The meals came with clear soup, a salad, fried rice, steamed vegetables & the meats. Everything single thing we are was absolutely DELICIOUS! The prices were very reasonable & the service was excellent. I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant! I NEVER write Yelp reviews but this restaurant was so absolutely AMAZING that I was compelled to write one for this place! By the time we left the restaurant, the place was almost full of patrons. read more

Amazing food! I've had their chicken hibachi, Philadelphia roll, and the Tempura roll. The soup that is included with the hibachi is delicious. Service is always quick. I traveled 45 minutes to eat here and I'd gladly do it again! read more

I reeeeeeallly wanted to love this place. I've had the food twice and both times I've been disappointed. My husband had shrimp tempura with veg tempura. He said his shrim was tasty enough, but very greasy. The veggies were so laden with oil that he didn't eat them. I had shrimp fried rice and a side of scallops (just 4 scallops in the side portion...the quantity should be noted on the menu) they were cooked well, but terribly over seasoned with a very salty soy based concoction (and I like salty things) The side salad was just sad and wilted and frankly, I didn't touch it. I tasted the salad dressing and wished I hadn't. It was cloyingly sweet. The shrimp in my fried side was terribly mealy and overcooked. There was also almost no presence of egg in the dish, despite my request for extra egg. The clear soup was a sad, unseasoned afterthought. I know people love this place. I'm rooting for them to improve the quality of the food and train their staff to be polite. The restaurant itself is super cute...with an awesome mural on the brick wall. read more

First Time Me Having Hometown Hibachi.. It was really good! I wish the rice was cooked a little bit longer and my steak was well done instead of medium but good flavor. The chicken and steak combo came with a lot of rice and noodles with salad and soup as well. Great for dinner.. for lunch if you have to work you do want a bed afterwards read more
