Don't sleep on this place. Pretty out of sight, but this is a gem. They give quite a lot of food for the price tag, and it's cooked to perfection. I love how small the protein is cut. They give heaps of fried rice as well. I got the steak and chicken and it was immaculate. I got my food to go, so I can't speak on the dining in experience, but it genuinely felt like I got hibachi steakhouse food at half the price and ate in the comfort of my own home. Everything I could have wanted.

I deliver for DoorDash among other services and found myself stopping here for orders more often than not when working in the area so I decided to give it a try. That turned into twice a week and the staff knowing my name when I walk in for my order. The chicken is delicious, I always get extra cabbage and the Crab Rangoon is a must. Yum yum sauce, yum, yum, yes please! I generally stick to the chicken but I have had the steak, also very good but I’d say it’s probably best to order if you intend on eating in the restaurant bc like all steak it gets cold quick which makes it a little tough. I’ve never dined in the restaurant so I can’t speak about the sit down dining atmosphere but I always buy enough to last several meals and it tastes just as tender and good cold as it does reheated!

Great food, you have to order first through the main counter and then dine in.

Looking for hibachi style takeout with decent ratings. This place is less than a mile from my house, which is not ideal because this place is so freaking good. The container was loaded I thought about asking for extra meat, but I didn't, I wanted to just order and see how it was.. Amazing..portion size 10/10. Freshness same.. fast service. Will be back with family and friends for sure. Chicken and Steak hibachi Crab Rangoon Egg rolls Yum yum

Great spot if you are wanting a fast fix of hibachi. I got the steak and chicken with fried rice, I didn’t want the cabbage. Comes with two sauces, ginger and “yum yum”. I added in the zucchini, onion and mushroom vegetables. The portion was perfect at the price point and overall It was well executed and done in super fast time.

This is hands-down my favorite take-out in the area, maybe even in Columbus. The portions you get are crazy for what you pay for, and it's one of those perfect "save for later" foods in case you don't have the room for the entire meal. The quintessential here is definitely the Hibachi Chicken with Yum-Yum.

The best hibachi in town! They always put a lot of chicken and small pieces, so it gets very delicious
