Niobe Japanese Steakhouse - menu - Japanese Near Me - Graham, North Carolina

I came here to see live hibachi but they no longer offer it unfortunately. The scallops were a little overcooked but still tasty. Prices are fair. I loved the soup. Staff was very nice. It wasn't packed so it didn't take long for food to be served. They may consider adding items like boba to the menu. read more

First time here and had a great time. Service was great we had a lady serving us and she was very attentive and nice with the kids. Gave us plenty of time to order and didn't feel rushed. The restaurant was clean and there was a lot of seating, not too bright and not too dark. We ordered quite a few things but I didn't get a chance to take pictures of everything. They also give you a bottle of white sauce they leave at the table, and that white sauce is pretty good. Probably one of the better ones we've had, it's not overly thin or sweet. We ordered two children's shrimp hibachi plates that came with 5 pieces of shrimp, fried rice and plain noodles. No veggies come with the children's plates. It was $9 per plate. Both kids were extremely happy. We also ordered a steak and shrimp dinner combo, it was around $18. Comes with steak, some shrimp, broccoli, onions, zucchini & mushroom. I think presented on the plate it was a smaller amount or maybe just the way it's presented but we did get a pretty full plate of leftovers in a to go box. Steak and shrimp were seasoned nicely and the steak was cooked perfectly. We shared this plate because we also got sushi and other things. Husband got a seaweed salad which he said was some of the best he has had. It was pretty soy based but was good. He also got soup which he said was pretty basic and was fine. We also ordered a Side salad with ranch, got some lettuce with some carrot pieces. Your basic salad. Can't complain. Sushi we ordered was the Country Roll, Niobe Special and Sakura Blossom. Each roll is priced around $9-$14. They were all covered in spicy mayo and eel sauce but can't complain. We like that stuff. The Sakura Blossom roll is probably my favorite. It has raw tuna on the top, avocado and salmon in the inside. I think cream cheese as well. It was good. The Niobe special was pretty good as well, was hoping for a bit more spice but it was more mild than "hot" for anyone that doesn't like too spicy stuff. My son really loved his Country Roll this is a good roll for beginners it has crab and cream cheese and it's fried so it's like a sushi bake but in a roll. Would definitely recommend coming back, it's priced decently and you get a lot of food. Can't talk about service like others but we had a good time. Would rate 10-10 overall! read more

This wish they would chance back to the old way of ordering your food and you could sit where you'd like. The waitstaff they have here is a disaster. read more

As a lover of hibachi, i'm always on the quest to find new places to enjoy. I feel like the Triad area has no shortage of options, but it's always good to find a new and good place to add to the portfolio. I got on the great Yelp and found Niobe so we decided to get it for dinner. We called in our order, but there are plenty of booths to sit at if you would like to dine in for lunch or dinner. I got the hibachi steak and chicken. Simply delicious. The yum yum sauce is a must have. The portions are huge, which is obviously awesome. It also comes with a soup as well. Prices are very good so you'll get bang for your buck on top of good quality. The portfolio has expanded to add Niobe to it. I went back two days after our first visit. Was impressed and will continue to come back. read more

Niobe Japanese Steakhouse - Hibachi Steak and Chicken - Japanese Near Me - Graham, North Carolina

We took my sister in law to this Japanese restaurant in Graham. The ambiance was casual and comfortable. The service line was very friendly and fast. The hibachi meals were very good especially the shrimp. My sister in law was disappointed with the wasabi for her sushi because it was too salty and not wasabi enough! My zucchini was good but the broccoli not so much. What really makes the hibachi meals standout is the sauces especially the white sauce. A good hibachi-sushi restaurant in Graham. read more

We entered the establishment and ordered our food at the counter. We sat down with our soup and salads in styrofoam containers and plastic disposable silverware. The soup was essentially a broth with some fried onions on top that were dissolved into like a mushy like consistency the salad was just lettuce with a little bit of carrot. I did have to pick out several pieces of orange tinted lettuce. The dressing was a Thai peanut style that was rather thick in consistency and not very fluid. Once we finished that our main entrées of chicken hibachi came out on real plates not styrofoam. The rice on the hibachi plate was bland, but the chicken was cooked perfect the veggies a little over cooked but still tasted great. The white sauce, elevated the rice and made it taste better. You also have the option of a ginger sauce, and a Sriracha sauce, plus soy sauce on the table. I recommend mixing some Sriracha into the white sauce for a more milder spice flavor. Overall, I would rate the food good and we had a very enjoyable meal. The main meal portions were hearty and filling. read more

Service is so bad. They are so rude. I paid to add broccoli to a kid's order online and when I got there, they told me they don't do that. Fix the online menu ordering system if it isn't something you do, especially when it says absolutely no changes or refunds like three times before you order. read more

I was invited here to lunch by a friend. It was my first visit and experience with this restaurant. The prices are a bit higher than other restaurants with the same lunch menu but the taste and portions was well worth it! Customer service was good & friendly maybe because my friend has a good relationship with the staff. Restaurant was very clean, beautiful decor and great atmosphere! Great lunch or dinner spot Wednesday-Sunday. read more

Always good food and friendly service. Call ahead for takeout. There is often a bit of a wait, as they get very busy at times.

Customer service is lacking. I have been going to this place since they opened. If the female owner is not running the register... service is going to SUCK. I always eat in. Anyway .. I go today and someone different is behind the counter. She proceeds to take my Oder and then barks at me"eat in or go"? I told her I was eating in and she barked "you no order here.. you go there" and motioned towards an open table as she proceeds to pick up the phone and begin taking another order. Mind you, I have ALWAYS ordered at the counter for the years that I have come here. I digress. I went to sit down to wait to be served... ordering ahead of the rest of my party as I had somewhere to be. After 10 minutes, no one had acknowledged me... so I got up and left. I called my party and we are going somewhere else. There were at least 6 of us... $20 per person + drinks + appetizers... they lost at least $150-200 by being rude. In a day with so many options, I will not pay to be disrespected by a business. You need me more than I need you. The owners have always been kind, but then again, your employees reflect on your business. I will look for other options for hibachi in the future. I won't allow this to become the norm when I am paying you for service. read more

Best hibachi I've ever had. Easy to order, friendly people. Loved by the locals. TVs, tables, and booths; everything you could want at a restaurant. Simple and straight to the point. read more

Niobe Japanese Steakhouse - Hibachi Shrimp, Chicken, and Steak; Side of Noodles; Salad with Ginger Dressing - Japanese Near Me - Graham, North Carolina

I am not sure what 3 stars means to a lot of readers. It does NOT mean the food was marginal. Nor does it mean I would not go there again.. I would. I went there for lunch, and most "lunch" places don't rate a 4 or 5, they would be cost prohibitive. This is a solid lunch stop. The Pros: Service is fast and friendly. Lots of seating. Clean. Easy access off the road in a stip mall with lots of parking, even during the heavy lunch hour. When we arrived there was a long line in the order window. I was worried, but the line moved fast. Better, the food arrived toon after. Lunch came with a salad, and I really liked the house dressing. Food was good - not great - but absolutely "good". Cons: Dinner ware. Someone previously complained by the disposable tableware. It was not a big deal to me. Again, lunch... don't need fine china for lunch. So I only mention this as a con because someone before had complained. It was fine by me. That and I wish the salad came with more dressing. Couple have used a bit more, but I wasn't there for the salad. Verdict: For lunch, I'll do it again. Its all about expectations. And this met my "lunch" expectations. Had I been taking my wife out for dinner, probably would fall a little short - maybe. But she's about the food. So maybe. But it is a good solid lunch place that can accommodate larger parties. Its a strong three stars.... looking for something other than burgers.... this is a good choice. read more

Styrofoam plates. For dine in & the total bill was around $40. Pretty expensive dinner to be served in this manner. This place has gone extremely down hill the past few years. read more

Niobe Japanese Steakhouse - Styrofoam plates, bowls, & much, much more! - Japanese Near Me - Graham, North Carolina

Order two dishes yesterday for $30.00. Ordered in store and waited 37 minutes while the call in orders were given very quickly. Asked management how long and was told not much longer. over and over. Mgr eventually stated "I dont know what you are talking about". Was not ever bothered with how long I waited. Food was ok and cold when I got it. Never again. This is my first online review , this is the only time I have complained online. read more

2nd time in two weeks that we showed up and this "sushi bar", as advertised in the window, doesn't have sushi. read more

Walked in to a line and waited ten minutes. Once we paid ($40) for two people not even combination meals along with drinks, we waited over 40 minutes for our food to come out and wasn't even warm. Used to be the best place in town and would love coming here... now not so much. So if your really hungry and your wanting hot food you be better off going somewhere else. read more

Great place to go for a colon cleansing. My son and I ate there yesterday. Still having stomach issues

I always enjoying coming here but anytime I do a to go order right add 10 minutes to the time they give me because for whatever reason they never have the food ready read more

I love the food. We get their takeout often. The amount is great, there is always leftovers.

Love it! I am from Raleigh & LOVE kanki. It's Raleigh's hibachi steakhouse & it's very very good so any place that claimed to do hibachi was always such a let down to me when I tried it because it could just never stand up to kanki Then I decided to try this place regardless of the bad reviews & was so surprised! The steak is real steak.. Not that nasty stuff they would serve in other places.. The vegetables are great & so is the fried rice! Also their soup is wonderful as well! I love it & have brought a few friends in who love it as well! One friend got teriyaki chicken & white rice though & hated it.. I didn't try it so I can't say if it was bad or not, but i would maybe just stick to the hibachi! It's really good! & about the complaints about the interior.. I mean...you're getting 10 dollar hibachi, it is drab & plain but to me, that's to be expected at an express hibachi place! I wouldn't let it deter you from going! It's great! read more

Horrible!! We all got food poisoning after eating here. The chicken was dry. The sushi was horrible and looked like a child made it. The hibachi came with butter noodles.... they didn't offer fried rice for the entree. All in all the worst place I have ever eaten out read more

Great food but our order was lost in translation. I went up after 30 minutes of waiting to see where the order was and their reply was "just a few more minutes". Another 25 went by and they informed me that our food was given to another table. We were one of 3 tables in there at the time. read more

This is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in the area. They always give you good size portions. The food is always fresh and hot. They use an angel hair noodle that has a really, really good flavor. They're white sauce is second to none! I always have a good experience when I come. They have both hibachi style and dine in in the same building. read more

I would say skip it if you have the option. Food is nothing special and it seems the service has gotten worse by the day. The parking is a real tragedy as well. They used to have a family dinner special that was one of the most popular take out items in Graham. They no longer have the take out family special. The overall quality is NOT worth the price. I would say find another option. read more

Yesterday was my first time trying Japanese food. I am glad we choose Niobe. The atmosphere here was nice. The food was good and the portions were plenty. The service was good. The prices were fantastic. We choose to sit at the Hibachi grill area and have our food cooked in front of us. Our cook made the whole day. He was funny and very nice. It was a very pleasurable experience. Good food, good service, awesome cook, great prices and enough food to have take home and not cook on a Sunday night.......I do plan on visiting there more often :) Thanks to the staff at Niobe! My family and I had a great day after Church! read more

The appetizer and the soup was good. The main course was nothing great that you would want to go back again. We ordered 3 dishes and they all tasted almost the same. Probably because they used the same ingredients n sauces. The filet mignon was just cooked dry without much of any spices. read more

I tried Niobe shortly after they originally opened and had a fairly negative experience. A few years later, I went back for a second and third visit and my experience changed pretty drastically. The food is good, if a tad heavy on the soy. It's still tasty and you get a pretty good-sized serving - not too much, but certainly enough for a big guy like me (even if I am on a diet). I'm a little hesitant on the sauces (served already cupped-up off the same place you get your plasticware and sodas), but any restaurant that has a carafe full of siracha is going to get my very pleased attention. If it were just the food, I'd give this restaurant 3 to 3 1/2 stars and let it be (the prices and ambiance are average for your average Hibachi bar), but the staff are some super people, and I've got to give them credit for having such a positive effect on the customers. They're friendly, professional, and very helpful. read more

It's okay food, not my fav hibachi place. Used to be when I was in high school but I think the recipe has changed like different noodles or something, food is off. But Customer service is always great! read more

Recently went under a renovation and removed their hibachi/teppanyaki tables. Which basically was the best part of niobe. No reason left to go back now. read more

So this wasn't my first time having food there and it usually really good but today the person on the phone was absolutely rude....I order a shrimp roll and shrimp hibachi and never received my shrimp roll so call up there and told them it wasn't in the bag and basically got called a liar and that I must have dropped it the car.....my coworker was the one who picked up the food and was given one bag not two....horrible customer service.....I have worked in restaurants for many years and I have never treated anybody like the way they treated me today... read more

I absolutely love this place. always fresh sushi. always good food. the reason for 4/5 stars is due to the service. it isn't TERRIBLE but it could be a little more personable. though, it does not deter me from attending this establishment. i will come back again and again. read more

Have been hearing alot of hype about this place. Decided to try it out. A friend told me about the family take out plate for 20 bucks. I decided to order the steak chicken and shrimp which was 29.00 plus tax. Reallllly disappointed. There were 15 pieces of shrimp, a half of a plate of rice, a little corner of noodles, and very few vegetables. The steak and chicken portions were ok. I really expected more for the 30.00 price.As far as taste it was good. And it took about 30 minutes to be ready. read more

Niobe Japanese Steakhouse - Granted we had already started eating but with this big take out tray I would have thought would have gotten more than rice. - Japanese Near Me - Graham, North Carolina

This is the worst experience for a take out order I have ever seen. I am home sick, called in a to go order. I sent boyfriend to pick up food with my phone number attached. He called while there and I could hear 3 or 4 employees in the background talking and he was so confused about our order. He came home with our food and someone else's. After I told him several times the order. He couldbt even hear me over the employees going back and forth. We didnt have the right sauces and i returned the wrong order I get back home and still was missing salad as and not refunded for a side order that we returned. I will never eat there again. read more

Noticed that they no longer offer soup and salad for the dinner menu. It's one or the other. Also meal came with rice and noodles. Not now just one or the other. The prices have increased and portions are less. Now you have to clean your own table. I would understand if their prices stayed down. Hope this is just a temporary thing for them. read more

After waiting a few months because of the sanitation grade of a B and the beyond terrible service we have received in the past we gave it another chance. Well they do now have an A grade but nothing has changed with the service. We were seated and watched other customers be seated after us and waited on. The workers just kept walking past us and didn't even acknowledge we were there. This is a 3pm on a Sunday afternoon and not even half the restaurant was full. After 15 minutes we left and will not be giving this establishment another chance. I work hard for my money and do expect decent service when I come into a restaurant that is over priced to begin with. Zero stars is what they deserve. read more
