    Hibachi Chicken and Hibachi Ribeye
    Iris C.

    Today was our first time trying Mr. Kirin and it was delicious! We were greeted soon as we entered, which was very nice. The restaurant has plenty of seating inside and out. We were very pleased with our food and as you can see from the pictures below, they give you more than enough. Oh! They also offer seafood boils. We will be visiting again.

    Always my favorite local spot for a quick bite to eat and variety of appetizers. Hits the spot every time.

    Shrimp Boil

    Mr Kirin is one of my favorite spots to get a shrimp boil. They have fast service, and the food is always hot. The staff is always friendly. They have a large variety of options, serving both seafood and hibachi. Everyone I've taken has enjoyed the food and continue to go back. If you haven't friend them you should.

    What I remember most about my visit here was the 5 star service. It's extremely quick and the staff are all extremely friendly and accommodating. The seafood boil is great, and the hibachi is delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is casual and relaxed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a bit of a hidden gem, but a gem nonetheless.

    Tonight was my first visit to Mr. Kirin. I made an online pickup order, and it was ready in about 10 minutes. Even though I picked it up, I did take a moment to look around. The inside is small, but they have a lot of outdoor seating and a lovely patio. Along with Japanese, they also offer cajun-style seafood. Their pricing is very reasonable. This evening, I went with Japanese options, but I will be sure to try their seafood sometime soon. I got crab ragoons, onion soup, and the hibachi chicken, which comes with your choice of rice and either an egg roll or soup, I chose the egg roll. All of this was under $20, and so so good! The soup was hot and savory, and the crab ragoons were super creamy and delicious! The hibachi chicken was a large portion, and I mixed in a little white sauce. It was so yummy, but it could have used a little more vegetables and chicken as it was mostly rice. The egg roll was small but packed with flavor and perfectly crispy. I will most definitely back to this little gem!

    Front entry way of the Restaurant, they have 2 ways to enter.

    Decided to try Mr.Kirin for the first time and it was good and moderately priced. They had a ton of door dash orders going out while we waited for our food. The vegetable tempura was very nice and not greasy. Our entrees were good but I really wished the spring rolls were made in house, these were the standard frozen ones. Next time i want to try a bubble tea.

    Even after so many months this place is solid. Totally consistent. Portion sizes still amazing. Not a negative thing to say. This is my go-to for hibachi.

    Mr. Kirin is another restaurant on our new office location bucket list. My coworkers and I frequent here quite a lot. They have a large menu that features Cajun seafood (more expensive), pasta with chicken or shrimp and you can pick your sauce, Japanese hibachi, and a few Chinese dishes. They also offer a large bubble tea menu. Like I said, a wide array of choices. You order at the counter and then get your drink cup and pick a table. They bring your food out to you in takeout boxes, which is actually quite convenient because of the large portion sizes. The woman who works the counter is very busy but nice if you can have more than a few seconds with her. She always answers questions well and is quick to bring extra sauces if needed. They do a heavy takeout business so poor thing is always swamped but she handles it well. I can't speak for the Cajun seafood but plan to get it to take home to my family one day. It's just too much for a work lunch. The hibachi menu is extensive and features more than your average chicken, shrimp, and steak. They have scallops, tilapia, and salmon. So good! And the prices for the hibachi is very reasonable. The ambiance is generic but I don't care with the food being so delicious and quick! I would give Mr. Kirin a solid 4.5 but had to round up for the sake of the stars.

    Hibachi Chicken and Ribeye
    Marva J.

    I give them a solid 31/2 rating as I did not eat in to have a total experience . The delivery was great . A solid value and the hibachi entrees of shrimp and chicken and ribeye were tasty. I liked the convenience of delivery and it came well packaged, hot and overall good flavor. It was not too salty as many hibachi places are . The vegetables was mostly onion with a few carrots and squash. The egg rolls were really good, not too greasy. I would definitely order again and may be tempted to try some of their seafood dishes that are designed to be like steamer pots with seafood , corn and potatoes . The food was fresh and given the size , leftovers heated up well.

    Egg Roll / Onion Soup
    Kelly S.

    Good new spot in town to check out. It's an interesting concept with the Cajun seafood/hibachi combination. I personally don't eat seafood so was only there to get hibachi. They just opened up about a week ago and I think the prices for what you get are great. My teriyaki chicken came with white or fried rice, veggies and your choice of an egg roll or soup for $6.75. They had many covid protocols in place including the normal mask, signs, sanitizer. One I hadn't seen at a restaurant yet was a self standing thermometer/temperature reader when you walk in.

    I currently live in a land-locked Midwest state so it's been a minute since I've had boiled cajun/garlic butter shrimp & crawfish. Being in the area for business, I thought I might as well take advantage of it. Mr Kirin did not disappoint in scratching my itch. Solid flavor & cooked just right (overcooked shellfish gets mushy). I ordered the "hot" spice level, but if I go back I'll get "extra hot". It did have a kick, but I kind of wanted it to feel like I'd made a significant error in judgement so it would've been a real accomplishment in powering through & finishing it all. Anyway, recommended!

    A couple of friends brought us here, and it ended up being the best Cajun/Creole meal I have ever…read morehad. I started with a Cajun Martini made with jalapeño-infused vodka, and it was exactly what I hoped it would be. It did not taste artificially jalapeño-flavored; it had a real kick and just the right amount of heat. We started with the Crawfish Rangoon Dip, and honestly, I could have made a meal out of it. I have had Rangoon dips before, but this one was especially smooth and full of flavor. If I had been at home, I probably would have been tempted to run my finger around the bowl to get every last bit. For my entrée, I had the Shrimp Étouffée. Others at the table ordered the Duck Jambalaya, Shrimp and Grits, and Gumbo Yaya. My dish seemed to get better with every bite. The Creole stew was rich and deeply flavorful without being over the top. I was especially glad our waitress suggested adding a side of garlic bread to mop up the sauce. Even the garlic bread stood out, toasted on the grill with a slightly smoky flavor. It felt like real attention had been paid to every detail. We all tried each other's dishes, and I would happily go back and order any one of them. The banana pudding at the end of the meal was just as good. It had a strong banana flavor and was not overly sweet. Our servers were friendly and attentive, and the meal moved at a relaxed pace. We never felt rushed. My only complaint was the noise level. The restaurant has a tiled ceiling, and it got loud enough that at times, it was difficult to hear people on the other side of the table. Even with that, I would go back to Blue Denim!

The crawfish rangoon dip was delightfully cheesy with large pieces of crawfish, the chili sauce was sweet and had a tiny bit of heat, and I loved the crisp and light wonton chips. The shrimp and grits were almost as delicious as I remembered from my visit years ago. There is a moderate amount of cajun spices, so if you don't like somewhat spicy food, you may want to ask to see if they can adjust this, but I loved it as is. My husband had the King Catfish plate and really enjoyed it, though we both agreed the Shrimp and Grits was superior. My only complaint with Blue Denim is the noise level. It is a small space with a charming interior, but given its tight quarters, it can get quite loud even if the restaurant is only half full. I'm not sure how they would go about fixing this, but if the weather is nice (as it was in this latest visit) I will opt to eat at one of their outdoor tables.

Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. We've had incredible experiences at another Full Moon location. Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. We ordered grilled oysters, a pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined), and a half-pound of king crab legs, items we're very familiar with and order often. The grilled oysters didn't seem grilled at all. They looked strange, had very little butter, and were almost completely flavorless. The shrimp was another letdown. It was under-seasoned, wasn't peeled or deveined as ordered, and was gritty. We also never received the corn that was supposed to come with the boil. We could have mentioned it, but by that point we were already so disappointed that we didn't bother. The king crab legs were clearly not fresh. The shells were so old and pliable that they bent instead of cracking properly, and the inner membrane stuck to the meat. We didn't eat it. They made another order which was the same. Our waitress said they don't receive orders for the KC often so they may have been old. Ummmmm! The service didn't help the experience. The staff seemed standoffish from the beginning. Our food was dropped off without any explanation or follow-up, and we had to ask for everything we needed instead of anyone checking on us proactively. However our waitress was happy to help us remove the crab from our bill and she was pleasant. We know this isn't representative of every Full Moon Oyster Bar because we've had fantastic meals at another location. That's what makes this experience even more disappointing. We were celebrating a special occasion and left wishing we had chosen somewhere else.

    Magnolia Blue was one of my favorite High Point eateries. Whether I went for weekend brunch or New…read moreYear's Eve dinner, I never had a bad meal there. It closed in early February for what were supposed to be renovations, only to reopen months later with a new name and a new concept, trading slightly upscale Southern for more upscale Italian. In some regards, this makes sense - it fills a void created by the closure of Lulu and Blu - but in other ways, it's a massive gamble. My wife and I went for our anniversary dinner, and while it was an overall pleasant experience, it also made us miss Magnolia. The higher price point is the chief culprit. Otto and Blue offers pastas in the $20s and entrees starting in the $30s, bread and olive oil not included. While we were celebrating an occasion that merited such a splurge, it's hard to imagine the restaurant remaining competitive at those prices once the sheen of newness wears off. Look past that, however, and Otto and Blue shines in both ambiance and service. It's classy without being stuffy, and the dark turquoise tones suit it well. Allison, a Magnolia Blue mainstay, was personable and attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Otto and Blue's menu offers apps, salads, pastas, and entrees. It's predominantly Italian albeit with a few options for the steak-and-potatoes crowd. The dishes range from recognizably classic (rigatoni Bolognese) to conspicuously elevated (halibut piccatta). After mulling over several offerings, we went with the bread service, tagliatelle, and duck cacciatore. The food ranged from fairly good to outstanding. While $9 for bread is a tough pill to swallow, they executed it as well as they possibly could have: a hot, fresh ciabatta with tasty herb butter, olive relish, and a quality olive oil-balsamic combo as accompaniments. The cacciatore boasted a pair of duck legs confit, and while I'm usually no fan of dark meat poultry, these were prepared well with crispy skin and plenty of meat. For a typically hearty dish, the sauce seemed light (and a bit subdued), but that could be a consequence of serving atop polenta (more absorbent) rather than pasta. Speaking of pastas and sauces, the tagliatelle hit a nice balance of creamy and zesty without swimming in its white wine lemon sauce. Surprisingly, the highlight of the meal ended up being the dessert that Otto and Blue kindly offered as an anniversary gift. A scoop of vanilla bean gelato came adorned with a Biscoff cookie, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of salt. If salt and especially olive oil on ice cream seem vaguely blasphemous, don't knock it until you try it. Each bite was thoroughly delicious. It's a given that good food doesn't come cheap, but even so, Otto and Blue has no margin for error to justify what it charges. On food alone, it was close but not quite there. However, the overall experience made it worthwhile, and I have no regrets about dining here.
