    Absolutely delicious hibachi! Highly recommend place! The staff and service were nice, we made reservations beforehand. One thing I didn't like about is you need to share with others if your party size is small. We ordered basically everything filet mignon, scallops, sirloin steak, lobster tails, shrimps and sashimi combo on the side. Really liked the ambiance for celebrations and the performance was great! :) I would 100% visit again!

    Honestly I can't complain the food was super great but tell me how they didn't acknowledge our presence and also they decided to tell us the kitchen is closed and hour and 40 mins before closing time as we are eating asking us to leave AND ALSO they followed me and asked me for a 15% tip and that the 10% tip wasn't enough for just two " we didn't do the hibachi"

    Vanilla ice cream

    PROS: the food was amazing and priced well with a strong variety on the menu. The staff is nice, they take reservations, loads of parking, and the best atmosphere of any hibachi restaurant CONS: believe it or not the only con I ran into was the dessert. They only have ice cream and they only give you one scoop OVERALL: 100% would come back here and I highly recommend you to come here too

    The table in front of us got a chef within 20 minutes after we waited for an hour and a half. Do not come here

    Absolutely awful service. We sat here with a 2 year old child and a toddler for an hour and a half with a hot grill and no service. The manager and waitstaff treated our party terribly. Do not come to this establishment, specifically if you are a person of color

    Our empty grill after we've been sitting here for an hour and 15 minutes

    A new "worst restaurant ever" for us. Rude service, non-fresh fish and overall bad experience. Stay away

    From the moment we arrived, the experience was nothing short of uplifting. The service was…read moreattentive and genuinely kind, the food was beautifully presented, and every bite was full of care and quality. The environment itself felt welcoming and thoughtfully arranged, creating a space that was both comfortable and inviting. What truly stood out was the interaction among the staff--the blend of languages, warmth, and mutual respect created a family-oriented atmosphere that felt authentic and heartfelt. My friend and I came in after a very rough day at work, carrying more weight than we realized. We left lighter, having forgotten the stress and trauma of the day, replaced by joy, laughter, and the feeling of being part of a community. This place nourishes more than just your stomach--it feeds the heart. We're deeply grateful and will absolutely be returning.

    The three of us, two adults and a youngster, came for lunch today. We were greeted and seated…read moreimmediately and offered water and teas. The place looks welcoming and well maintained with a pleasant ambiance. The menu is quite extensive and offers the lunch specials that we were looking forward to. Well portioned offerings that are served with soup ,rice and salad. An excellent deal. We started with steamed edamame and an appetizer of tempura shrimp and vegetables. Good choices. The mains were a sushi lunch box with eel sushi, lunch box with teriyaki tofu and a plate of three spicy rolls. Each of us enjoyed what we were eating. The soups were flavorful, the salads were fresh and well dressed. Note to self - need to come here more often.

    As many of you know I am cultured. I'm seasoned. In age and in ethnicity. Lightly seasoned? Sure…read more But seasoning nonetheless? Depends who you ask. Oh Desdemona, how unlucky you were. Oh Yelp, how lucky I am. How lucky I always am. How lucky I was to stumble upon Hawaii Japanese Cuisine on the ever industrious Warburton Ave. Saturday Farmers Market. Meredith's Bakery. Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Bread. If you know you know. Anyways. Out in Waikiki I learned to appreciate Poke. I once appreciated Pokemon. What's Politoed up to these days. Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly depending on your grasp of history, Poke is actually a Hawaiian dish. Japanese inspired, of course, but that's why the name of this spot is quite unique (although not catchy). Catch of the day. Rack of the day. So how'd I get here? You ask? ASK ME. Fine! I'll answer. Calm down, needy much? I'm an active guy. I participate in activities. Typically solo, I'm riding solo I'm riding solo solooooo. Man, just imagine walking down the city streets with a Walkman in blasting Les Miz. The dream. Anyways. I just got back from the island life and I was craving some fresh fish, at a sizable size with some balance of fruit, veggies, sauce and quantity for a beautiful price. And I just so happened to be running myself into the ground at the track in Irvington. Or was it that low-lying track in Hastings. The bees. The bumblebees. Maybe the hornets. It was Irvington. The bulldogs. Grrrrrr. I just ran myself into the ground. Sprints for about an hour. Bad hammy. Few months later tore the calf while calfmaxxing. Probably related. First muscle injury in a spinning dixie, gotta have muscles to injure them? Not really but that's what I'll tell myself. So I rip the farmers market. Then I rip the soosh spot, ordered online. Walked in, handsomely. Very friendly and respectful and nice staff and have been everytime I've gone since. The weight of the food in hand was ridonk so I was optimistic. I also got a few desserts down the road. Some hardbody that was completely eyeing down my grass-fed grass-finished hog at the track was somehow now across the street drinking a protein smoothie. My aura stinks of grandeur, but I avoid it. I'm taken lady. Did she follow me? Gross. What a joke. Really put things into perspective. I'm a fat slob, a professional self sabotager. But I work hard for this fat and that's what makes me a special boy. Hawaii Japanese Cuisine has the best poke in the area. They never let you down. I never let you down. Benvolio. As your voice of reason, I reason you to give it a go. A humble hero in Hastings.

    The fact that I've been dying for a make your own bowl close to me and am just finding this spot is…read moreinsane! Really need to do better with advertising this spot. I've driven by many times and never even knew they existed! I opted for the build your own bowl and what an experience. There are soooo many options for fixins and for the bowl itself. You can get 2 proteins or 3. For my bowl this time I got the 2 proteins with half brown rice half green salad with kani of course. For fixins I added cucumbers, edamame, masago, radishes, seaweed salad, sesame seeds, crispy onions, scallions, ginger and for 1$ extra avocado. I added classic shoyu which is basically just soy sauce. I wish they gave a better description for their sauces. My partner ordered the 2 protein bowl with brown rice, grilled chicken, shrimp, sweet corn and added eel sauce. Everything was so delicious and fresh. Vegetables had a nice crunch which lets me know just how fresh. Was a little disappointed in the amount of kani I got but was delicious nonetheless. Note the kani is shredded very thinly. For 16$ this bowl is a perfect little lunch.
