Food is pretty good also for the price and portion it can't be beat. It's cheaper than some other Japanese express locations in Charlotte. I wish it was closer because I would visit more often when I am craving Japanese express. read more

Hey Everyone, I hate to rush to the point but I just had to mention how horrible my experience was. I ordered the hibachi steak w/ broccoli and to my dismay it seemed like they confused my order with just broccoli and maybe (or less than) 1 ounce of steak. I called to ask if they could correct the order if I brought I back but It was almost impossible to get an answer. Annie who answered the phone told me 4 ounces was the standard and I suggested sending in a picture and she said she would refund me for my meal only to call me back 10-15 minutes later asking for the food to be brought back. Which would've been fine if we hadn't talked for 10 minutes about how she was going to refund me my money. In short, do not come here or even give it a second glance they do not care about what is right and are looking for an easy dollar. read more

Nothing to write home about, but the food was good and fast. It's in the plaza with Planet Fitness. Nice after workout meal.

3.5 I rounded up. We just moved here and I was so excited to see a Hibachi place in the area! After reading the reviews, I had high expectations. The crab rangoons were over cooked, crunchy and dry. The pink sauce that comes with them was gelatin, like it was actual jello. I thought maybe it had been refrigerated and would thin out as it sat, but it didn't. That was interesting. The steamed pork dumplings were really good. We ordered chicken/shrimp, teryaki chicken, and hibachi chicken. I guess I was expecting the usual onions and zuchinni to accompany the proteins but when you order, you can only choose from broccoli or mushrooms. There is an additional charge for onions/zuchinni. The portion size was a little small for the money. This spot is close to our house, the service was fast and friendly, and our order was correct which is a win in my book. We will probably be back but I can't tell you its the best hibachi I've ever had. Try it and see for yourself! read more

Have been going here since I was a little girl. The food has always been delicious. Prices barely went up during covid. Cheap hibachi and great quality for the price! Moved away for a few years but am now moving back to the area. I was praying that the place was still a hit and oh yes it was! Just as I remembered it, wonderful! We will definitely be stopping by here all of the time for a quick dinner! I have the hibachi steak with mushrooms and my boyfriend had the hibachi steak with broccoli. I recommend the steak as the chicken is a little bland at times. Also the owners are very kind. read more

Fresh and delicious food. They offer low carb options! The chicken and steak were tender and tasted great! Will definitely be going back!

We have been eating here for years. This is the best hibachi in Charlotte! And the shrimp sauce is on point! The owner is the kindest lady and it's a joy to see her each visit! read more

This place is amazing. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. I was picking up food for my kids who I forgot had a half day two weeks ago. I needed something fast. They brought the food to my car when they realized I had an injured shoulder and made the food in record time. The food was delicious and quick. My kids loved the carrots they are like a dessert. This place is also very accommodating for dietary restrictions as well. read more

We were looking for hibachi and this place was recommended by a coworker. Hands down best risk I took in 2022. Food was delicious and ready in the time quoted. It was so good we came back two nights in a row. I tried the hibachi chicken and my wife dad the big shrimp. It was ridiculously delicious and the give you a big side of white sauce which is phenomenal. We are huge fans and will definitely be back!!! read more

I've lived in this area for about 7 years and I can't believe I never came here before. I was look up reviews on yelp for asian food and wanted something different than my go to and I saw this place. Their menu had a good variety of food and the prices were decent. My husband called and the girl that answered was really friendly and helpful. Since it was our first time ordering, we had a few questions. Takeout only took about 15 minutes. I got the hibachi chicken and shrimp. Good portion. The shrimp wasn't overcooked and the chicken was good. The rice was also nice and fluffy. My husband got the chicken hibachi and he was pretty impressed as well. We opted out of the shrimp sauce and got the hot sauce and ginger sauce instead. The hot sauce had a good kick to it and very flavorful and my husband liked the ginger sauce. I'll definitely use this place in rotation! read more

I must admit that expectations were high after reading all the reviews about the quality and value, but unfortunately it just didn't do it for me at all. Yes, the service was very personable and friendly, and yes the food came out fast, but that's where the positives end for me sorry to say. I found the food to be pricey for what you get, as my chicken and scallops in a standard to go container with some broccoli, sweet carrots and rice came to about $20, which does not scream value at all, but quite the opposite, as it was pricey for the amount of food received, which was the standard portion found in any Chinese based restaurant. I also found the food to quite bland with no flavor outside of being way too salty, and I mean way too salty. I get that the name is Tokyo one express but in my view, this feels like a Chinese restaurant using a Japanese name, as nothing about the establishment says Tokyo to me, outside of the sign in the building. Like I said, I really wanted to like this place, but it did absolutely nothing for me at all, but again the employees were friendly, so at least there's that. read more

Nice mom and pop feel. They give really nice portions that taste great! Friendly quick service too.

I hadn't been here in a few years but had a taste for hibachi. The food is consistently good! Same nice owners and store is clean!

I find myself always searching for a great hibachi spot. Tokyo One Express pretty much checks all the boxes for me. Fast, convenient, and tasty. I've been here several times and their hibachi chicken is definitely my go-to. You also get your choice of broccoli or mushrooms to accompany the fried rice and carrots. I know some places just have one option. The staff are super nice and are professional. The small dining room has a TV that usually has some sort of news channel on, but I watch a quick show on my phone while eating. Self server soda machine here, but I usually get a cup of water. There is usually a board of specials to choose from, I need to try a couple one time. The shopping center this place is located in is called Camfield Corners... there used to be a Bi-Lo grocery store that anchored the entire strip, but I'm not sure what will go in there next. There are a couple of other businesses there... an Indian restaurant, nail place, pizza, and haircut place but the lot is never super busy. I suspect it will be even less busy now that the grocery store is gone. read more

We've been here several times. The food is very high quality, the ladies that run it are AMAZING! Everything is SO FRESH and made from scratch. The soups are delicious! Dumplings, amazing, hibachi chicken EXCELLENT!!! read more

Absolutely delicious. Fast service. Stopped in while I happened to be in Charlotte and did not regret it.

Ordered steak fried rice through doordash and it came hot fresh and full of food! Definitely will order from here more often. Comes with a generous portion of shrimp sauce. It's not expensive either. read more

I had Steak and Tokyo noodles and my husband had Chicken & Tokyo noodles. Both were very salty. His had more veggies than mine. Clerk was very pleasant. As promised, food was served quickly. My steak was well prepared. read more

Been there several times. Food is always very good and service is great. One of the very few places that have a 100 grade. Alot of places around South Charlotte I have seen lately are low 90s, which is a no for me. read more

Pretty solid hibachi place! We stopped by for a quick bite after work, and I was not disappointed. I got the low carb chicken, which was very filling! The chicken was a little on the dry side, but still pretty good. I had been dying to find a casual hibachi place in the area and this hit the spot! read more

Great food and nice staff. Cannot beat the value here for the price. The food tastes delicious and the staff makes mine gluten free with zero fuss! We love this restaurant! read more

I've had hibachi take out from here several times and its not bad but I've had better! Lunch chicken hibachi entree is probably in the $7 range. I'm not really big on the carrot side that you get either, just not a huge fan of carrots I guess. As long as Tokyo Japanese is in business down the road I will not be going to Tokyo One for their lunch hibachi take out. Tokyo's chicken hibachi lunch special comes with soup, salad, awesome chicken hibachi, and two big scoops of rice for $4.95 which is unbeatable. It's good quality food to boot! read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past, but I was practically dying of hunger so I popped in. The definition of hole-in-the-wall. I got a regular hibachi chicken and wow... there are no words. A classic dish done right. Crispy broccoli, tender juicy chicken and great rice (make sure you ask for ginger sauce). There's about a million options from the menu to the specials board, so it can get a bit overwhelming but you really can't go wrong. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely be returning. read more

Visiting from out of town, we were looking for a quick dinner to pick up and go. The service was amazing and fast, as soon as I walked in I felt welcome and the order was exactly right.

The chicken hibachi and steak hibachi were delicious, we will stop here again next time we are in town. read more

What stands out of this place is the customer service. The food is fresh and tasty. I recommend the fish, any combo, miso soup and ask for the owner's hot green tea... strong and delicious. It is on an excellent and convenient location, easy to find and park. read more

This is the best hole in the wall hibachi you will get. The food is amazing. The service is amazing i would give it 10 stars if i could. I've been coming here since i was in high school and the owner remembers me every time even if it's been a year. I love this place. Just as good as hibachi steak houses!! read more

Absolutely the worst hibachi I've ever tasted. The steak was overcooked and the food was very bland. Called to request an item and the customer service was terrible. If there was a way to give you zero stars I would absolutely do so. read more

Went here the day after Thanksgiving in Charlotte after turkey overload and lots of Black Friday shopping. My sister in law and I were ravenous and wanting take out to go relax and kick our feet up. We ordered steak and veggies. Shrimp and seaweed salad. As well as a side of fried dumplings. All of the food was delicious, drizzled with white sauce made it even better. About thirty dollars ended up feeding four of us, with leftovers still. Great deal, friendly service, and very convenient location to the Ballantyne area. Kabutos or Nakatos quality without the show or price. Give it a try! read more

Cute small spot for Habatchi take out. I called it in and by the time I got there it was ready. Staff was nice, friendly, and fast. Food was good, no complaints! read more

This use to be my go to place when I lived near but after getting take out today, I won't be running back. It wasn't bad, I've just had better recently. It's okay, decent price and the service is good. The food comes out quick as well read more

I've been to several hibachi express places thru the years, and they are usually fair but always with something just a bit off: dirty locale, poor service, chewy meat, overcooked veggies. Not so with Tokyo One Express. The food is tasty and inexpensive with a nice variety of options and friendly service. Camden Corners is nothing fancy--it feels like the no-frills strip mall that it is, no table coverings, no alcohol. And I'd rather them stir fry their carrots than serve them soft and sweet (as many express hibachi places do). But it's good food at a good price served with a smile. We'll be back. read more

This is a great spot for some good takeout. The portions are great, enough for 2 meals. Very pleasant people working there, they have never messed up on a special request. We always get the hibachi plates. read more

Went back to this little hole in the wall nestled in a strip mall. My first visit was not the best as the staff forgot 2 of our orders and put the food in the to go bag upside down so that they leaked. But even then, the food was good. This time, no mistakes. Got a big order for my large family. I watched them triple check everything and bag it all up. The food - a huge order - was ready incredibly quickly even though I ordered there. Friendly as ever and even gave me a complimentary drink for waiting. The food was just as expected - very good. This is not a fancy restaurant with high-grade meals. But that is not what I wanted or expected. It was exactly what we wanted and couldn't have been better. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting some quick, easy Americanized Japanese steakhouse food for a reasonable price - especially in the Ballantyne area. read more

Excellent! The hibachi chicken and rice is the BEST and it's not greasy either. Anne always has a smile on her face and knows what I order every time I walk through the door. If I could eat here every week I would! GOOD AND GOOD FOR YOU FOOD! ***5 1/2 STARS OUT OF 5** read more
