    Extra steak

    This place is more expensive than buckeye hibachi and you get less food. $16 for a steak and rice bowl so I paid $7 more for extra steak and they gave me half an extra serving and it welllll done when I ordered medium rare.. attached a photo. Just drive 5 more minutes to a different place.

    Solid Price, Good Flavor, Good Entrée Portions. They truly mean appetizer when they say it, you only 3 wings with the appetizer so order accordingly. That aside the wings were both sizable and flavorful. For my main course I had the hibachi steak, add egg yolk, and it did not disappoint. Mr. Hibachi is one of my go-to spots in the city,

    Over $9 for this side of steak? Won't be eating here again

    Over $9 for this side of steak? Won't be eating here again. Way better hibachi places around...

    We have just recently started working back in our offices one day a week and I am not mad that this little place is just a block or so away! Will definitely be making this one of my usual lunch spots! I love veggie dishes (and no I am not a vegetarian just love veggies!) so I decided to get the vegetable hibachi. The portion was huge, hot, and fresh! I didn't even have to ask and they included 2 yum yum sauces, napkins and plasticware. The gal at the front was very friendly and as nice as can be. My dish was served hot and the flavor was perfect especially after adding some of the yum yum sauce. Next time I will be going for salmon or steak and will add more pics and updates to this review!

    My first trip to Mr. Hibachi was last night with my best friend, and while we had high expectations from the start, we were truly impressed and they lived up to all the hype. At Mr. Hibachi, you select your protein and it comes with fried rice and cabbage. You can add other vegetables for about $1 each. I had steak and salmon, my friend had steak and shrimp, and at the suggestion of the woman at the counter, we ordered crab rangoon. Steak is served to temperature at this restaurant and we both ordered medium rare. My friend had Coke and I had Pepsi, because my palate is superior. Few restaurants offer both, but being a shrewd negotiator, Mr. Hibachi was able to strike a deal with the two beverage giants. The crab rangoon exceeded most I've had in Columbus, with lots of crab meat and only enough cream cheese to serve as a binder. The chef nailed the medium-rare steak for both orders, the shrimp was juicy but with a nice sear on the outside, and the salmon was cooked to the point of crisp on the skin but not so well done as to dry out the meat. Between the two of us, we ordered zucchini, mushrooms, onions and broccoli, all were nicely done. The yum yum and ginger sauces were fairly standard. You do have to specify if you want ginger sauce as the default is double yum yum. During the meal, I ordered a second Pepsi and spied a bright red lobster tail in the window, part of another order. Given the quality of the rest of the food, I would be surprised if the chef didn't nail the lobster, too. The only drawback was that Mr. Hibachi himself was not present during our meal, but we understand he is very busy. Such a powerful man surely is able to visit only occasionally, although it is clear that his influence extends to all aspects of the restaurant, from the excellent quality of the food, to the clean-looking decor, to (as mentioned) the offering of competing beverages under the same roof. Frankly, if Mr. Hibachi were present, I may have been too shy to communicate my gratitude properly, although I have heard that despite his power and influence, he is a kind and gentle man. We finished our meal and, having a taste for a nice sake, walked about four blocks to a second location, where we shared a bottle of warm Junmai, a perfect follow-up to an outstanding meal.

    Ordered via the app which was easier and efficient. Had the Steak and Shrimp and it was OK. Tasted more like a fast food restaurant and not a hibachi restaurant. Was out of the drink I ordered but was offered a substitute.

    First time trying this place. Ordered steak and chicken hibachi with cabbage and bean sprouts. It was delicious! Will definitely order again!

    We've gone several times and have always had good service and good food. We went tonight (Sunday)…read morearound 6pm and it was PACKED. Which is a good sign these days. Pretty loud and hard to hear, but that vibe is OK for a boil place to me. Only waited about 15 minutes. Two adults, two elementary kids. I like Lees of all the boil places because they have good options for non seafood people too. Both kids found wings, chicken fettuccini, etc. Started with the hushpuppies, about 12 smallish sized but a perfect starter for 4 people. Came with ketchup, I wish they would do a remoulade option. My wife and I split the duo (snow crab, shrimp) and I decided to add a LB of blue crab. Medium homemade juice sauce (always....it's sooo damn good). Snow crab was really good this time, snappy not bendy like some places. knuckles sweet and not overly briny. Perfectly cooked and came apart and out easily. Shrimp were just a tad overcooked but not much. Potatoes were perfect. We sub +1 tater for the egg. Corn is never good at these places. :) gotta do those fresh not frozen to get it right. The blue crab had good flavor. However, crazy overcooked which made getting meat out damn near impossible. Stringy instead of in chunks and stuck totally to the shell. I mostly gave up. My biggest complaint is they have ZERO typical utensils. No crackers/pickers/hammers/etc. I managed to cut myself trying to get into a snow crab large claw, and the lack of pickers made the blue crab impossible to eat. I'm bringing my own next time....serious. Finished with the fried oreos which were a perfect finish to the meal. 6 oreos for $6 was a great price.

    Service was excellent! Server was on top of the drinks making sure everything was checked on…read more Ambiance is cute, it probably time for an update but cute for a seafood place. Food was good, my only complaint was the amount of sauce, they held back on the sauce I could've boughten the extra sauce but wasn't looking for it to be drenched, but looking for alittle more love in the boil, especially since it was a lot of food and I had to take some home and reheat it. Other than that a great place, nice people good food!

They have decorated the lounge area nicely for the holidays to give a warm feeling. My issue is with whoever was managing the kitchen that day. The event had chicken tenders and fries which were served for the kids, but they had run out. There was no sign that this option is for kids only, so unsurprisingly adults had taken these food items as well. Some of the kids do not eat anything else, so a few moms had asked if these items were going to be refilled. One of the staff members was really nice and said he would check, which then brought the chef out himself to say there were actually no more to be served, but he would fry a few for us. That was very kind of him, so we waited near the table for him. Ten minutes later we are approached by a man saying "sorry, no more food will be coming out." It had no context, so we said yes, we are aware, but a chef said he would bring a few out for us, to which he replied "listen, this was a freebie itself, there was only tenders for a 20 kid count... the buffet has already been discounted...it's in the contract... etc." I was like taken aback... 1) I'm not the host of the event, so I have no idea why a contract is being brought up to me who is just a guest attending, it was super unprofessional and unnecessary, 2) I did not demand any more food to be brought out, it was offered to us, and 3) I did not need this condescending attitude from this man, all he had to say is "I know the chef said he would make a few, but we are not able to offer more tenders." That right there would have been perfectly fine and that is no problem, because if you can't, you can't. He definitely put a negative vibe over something so simplistic just by the way of his attitude during a beautiful event. Shame!

We did have to wait a bit to be seated but were thankfully at a nice table in the corner so our large party could be comfortable and private. I do recall the table or a chair being rickety and a waiter immediately assisting to make sure it would stop shifting which was amazing. We ordered a ton of tapas to share (6-7) to share amongst 6 people - all the dishes I tried were fantastic. My favorite was surprisingly the patatas - they were nice and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and were very flavorful. I also enjoy meat quite a bit so the braised short rib and steak were great too. Highly recommend also getting the pan - the sauce was addicting!
