The restaurant is small but has a variety of seating options. I was seated at a booth and soon placed my order. I opted to try their hot sake. It was tasty and came in a really cute carafe. I ordered the sashimi sampler and a spicy tuna roll. Everything was very delicious. The sampler came with either a soup or a salad. I did NOT like the salad. It was just lettuce and I didn't finish it. Otherwise, the meal was on point and the prices were fair. Service was fantastic. I will say they didn't provide a dish for soy sauce and that was odd so I ended up just trying to put it on my plate which wasn't ideal. But other than that and the salad, this was a great sushi experience. It also appears as though they have a drive thru and that's pretty cool!

The inside looks a bit outdated, but it was not that big of a deal to me as everything was running properly. I thought that the chefs were very cool to watch. I got the Hibachi Chicken. It was a really filling meal! This place does not skimp out on portions. I enjoyed how tender the zucchini and chicken were cooked and the shrimp sauce made it taste a lot better (who does not love shrimp sauce?!). I thought that everything was seasoned well, but a bit too well? My meal was a bit salty for my liking, but that is just a personal preference. As my first hibachi experience, I would probably give this place a 3.5/5 stars if I could. It is not overly fancy and works for a place like Hickory.

No draft beers from what I saw, only bottled beer which is fine. We all got Sapporo which was nice, 22oz tall boys. For food we all got hibachi which was delicious - I was surprised how flavorful and delicious it was. I personally got the steak and chicken and loved it. Like all hibachi you get soup, salad, shrimp, and the hibachi meal you ordered with fried rice. We all left full and happy. The staff was super friendly and we were sat quickly, our orders were taken quickly and the food and drinks came out quick. Only thing that could have been improved was the hibachi tricks! Spinning knives and the egg in the hat are a classic - but no onion volcano !? no sake water gun!? Gotta step up the production value here lol, overall a great spot though.

Instead of trying to help, she responded with, "What do you expect me to do about this?" which was both dismissive and unprofessional. I then asked to speak with a manager. After waiting 30 minutes with no response, I had to ask another server for assistance. I waited an additional 30 minutes, and still no manager came to the table. At that point, I had to go inside myself just to get someone's attention. When the manager finally came out, she offered no real apology and simply said that I wasn't the only customer in the restaurant, which is why it took so long. That response showed a complete lack of concern for customer service. Overall, this was an extremely frustrating experience with poor service from both staff and management. I will not be returning.

Tokyo Diner is your typical small town Japanese restaurant that offers sushi, fried rice, and…read morenoodles. A lot of the rolls were definitely unique to the area... more Americanized rolls than I had seen in other Japanese restaurants I have been to in large cities. It was not too packed when we went, so the noise level was fairly normal. There was ample seating inside as well as outside and the service was very friendly! I got the Hibachi Chicken and split the Crunchy Roll. The Crunchy Roll is essentially a shrimp tempura roll with cream cheese and some crunchy flakes on time. Unfortunately, I am not a big fan of cream cheese in my sushi, so this threw me off a bit, although it was still good and I wonder if you can just ask them to not add cream cheese. I will say the shrimp tempura tasted different compared to other shrimp tempura rolls that I have had... but not bad. The Hibachi Chicken was a large entree for a fairly affordable price! I liked the meal and I think the shrimp sauce definitely enhanced it (as usual), but the sauce did taste kind of ranch-y? The carrots were a bit too sweet for me, but the fried rice paired well with the chicken. Overall, I would think this is an okay place for basic Japanese food. I do not think it is going to blow your mind, but if you want to satisfy some simple cravings, this place will do the job. I would not mind coming back for a quick bite in the future. I think I would rate it 3.5/5 stars if I could.

A simple request while ordering at the front brought attitude followed by smart comments and aggressive communication from a teenage hostess. Then a visit from a manager while waiting by the bar brought a refusal to make a side dish id already paid for and then she sent a receipt to me with a server for an extra charge for a small ice tea she had awarded me with for the trouble. This is not a recommendable establishment of any standards. This is from a perspective of "i haven't even seen the food yet. " Avoid the Wild Wok, its not the menu that's Wild or unexpected, it's the management that's intrusive, undesirably and intentionally rude and just irritating.
