    Steak was overcooked but overall delicious...
    ERECA M.

    The food was really good except my steak was extremely overcooked! i ordered rare and received well done! Soooo disappointed. Shrimp and veggies were delicious...

    Steak and Chicken

    I rely on koji to save me when I'm hungry and don't want to cook. I've only ever used the drive thru, which is always speedy. My favorite dish is the chicken and steak combo, even though the steak is usually a bit over cooked. The carrots are like dessert because they're so soft and sweet. I do wish there were more mushrooms and broccoli, but adding them is an extra $3.50. For veggies! No thanks. Overall, their food is great for fast hibachi. If you're an MTSU student, be sure to show your ID for a 10% discount.

    Aha, a new quick-service asian restaurant opened up on my side of town in the old Church's Chicken building. There were two tiers of plates, single-item (shrimp, chicken, beef etc) and combo items (shrimp/beef, scallop/beef etc). Both plates also come with flavorful rice and a vegetable (tonite it was sweet carrots). Prices ranged from just over $5 to $10 for the single meat dishes and $8-$14 for the double meat dishes. Kim, our cashier, was super nice and chatted with us as we finished our meal. Everyone seemed very friendly and I will be back to try some other combinations. The portions were generous and I felt like it was worth the increased price over typical fast food because of the serving size and the higher quality of the food.

    My goodness I'm glad I stopped here!! I have never in my life tasted a sweet carrot so good! What a treat!! On top of that, the rice, broccoli, and shrimp were perfectly cooked. The steak was seasoned incredibly well. The yum yum sauce was good, but didn't have too much flavor. The scallops were a bit bland. A+ for the steak, shrimp, mushrooms, and broccoli, and B- for the scallop meal. I'll definitely visit here again!! Good prices, big portions, great hibachi taste!

    Shrimp sauce. So good!

    At first I was kind of weary of this place, it's basically fast hibachi, but never judge a book by its cover is a true statement. I came on a Saturday night at 630, bad timing on my part because it was so busy, even the drive thru had 7 cars waiting. Waited at 15 minutes but it was worth the wait. I got the chicken and shrimp with mushrooms, broccoli, and the sweet carrots, side fried rice, and extra sauce and that came up to be about $16. Very cheap for the load of food they give you! The side order of rice was piled high, literally leaving no extra space in that to-go box. I shared the food with my mom and even had left overs for lunch for her and I. And the main course was piled high too. Everything was great, but I wish the rice had a little more flavor, I guess that's where the shrimp sauce comes in. Definitely coming back!

    So good!

    I was craving Asian food for lunch so I was reading the reviews on yelp and decided to give this place a try. You can either drive thru or go inside and order and eat there. The concept at this place is fairly new to me, I'm from CA and have never really seen a place like this. I'm use to places like Benihana's were you sit down and they cook everything for you. This place is a faster version of it. They have a good selection of plates and pictures for you to see if you can't really decide. I'm a visual person, so I was happy to see the pictures on the menu above the cashier. Their menu is very simple, so it made it a lot easier to choose. - Hibachi steak and chicken served with rice and mixed vegetables - the steak and chicken was cooked perfectly and the flavor was absolutely great. They had a side of ginger lemon type of sauce and it added a really good flavor to the dish. I used that sauce to dip my vegetables in. The onions, zucchini, mushrooms and broccoli was cooked perfectly. I'm usually not a fan of carrots, but they added these carrots on the side that was something that I have never tasted before. The carrots were so sweet and tender and I could have eaten that as my dessert. Overall I like this concept, it's quick service and good food. It looks like family owned so their hospitality is impeccable. Thanks Koji, I'm a big fan! I will come back to visit again when I'm in town.

    Teriyaki chicken! 10/10 so good

    This is definitely my favorite sushi place! It's consistent! Never a miss! Honestly just so good! I…read moreoften forget to take pictures of all the sushi we order because it's just so good! Don't sleep on that Snow Crab Salad! Literally life-changing good! I could eat eat right now! The service is always good. They low key start to avoid you after you eat a certain amount. I don't mind, I wave them down. They come over real nice. Then almost relieved when you ask for the bill. I love it! I love the lack of bright lights throughout the restaurant. It's chill and makes it feel more private. I honestly cannot wait to go back. I wish I was there right now! Oh yeah! Before I forget! That Green Tea Ice Cream is very odd. Beyond odd. It's straight up weird. But oh my goodness, it's so addictive. I think I had 3 or 4 bowls. I regret not getting more. It's weird. Trust me. But with each taste, it gets more and more addictive. I want it now...

    1 star. I've been…read morecoming here about every two weeks and have visited well over a dozen times. Today was my last. Anyone who has eaten here enough knows the game: the more pieces you order, the smaller each piece mysteriously becomes. Fine--it's their restaurant. What wasn't fine was having a man who appeared to be the owner/manager come to our table and tell us, "We can't serve you more fish." When I pointed out there is no limit listed anywhere on the menu, his response was: "If we can't make any dollars from you, we don't need you to come." Imagine running an all-you-can-eat restaurant and openly telling paying customers they're no longer welcome because they're eating too much. If your business model depends on shrinking the sushi and cutting people off when they actually use the all-you-can-eat menu, maybe don't call it all-you-can-eat. And if you can't handle customers eating what they paid for, then maybe you're not cut out to run an all-you-can-eat restaurant in the first place. Don't worry--I got the message. I won't be back.
