Yummy cucumber avocado rolls for the non-​meat eaters of the world! Great prices as well! I’ve never sat in the restaurant to eat, which is the only reason this place does not have 5 stars.

Terrible about sums it up. I will NEVER visit the Mayfield location again. The place looks dirty and dark. The waitress moved so slow and there weren’t even many customers. The cook mixed my filet mignon with another customers strip steak and the portions he passed out were no where near equal. The icing on the cake was the 18% gratuity we were charged as a party of 2!!! The waitress wanted to argue and was insistent that my daughter and I were with the 2 other patrons because we ended knowing one another. Food may have been ok but it was overshadowed by the horrible service.

Enjoyed a nice meal on Sunday at 2:30 P.M. with the family. My mom and son were so excited about going to Hibachi for the 1st time and seeing the cool show put on by the chef.
It was very amusing and entertaining.
The pineapple chicken is truly delicious as is the ribeye steak. We also really enjoyed the veggies and noodles. The portions are very generous and the food is very high quality.
We had a groupon, but overall the cost was a bit high, but it was a splurge. The staff was attentive to our needs and the chef was a delight. I’d go back again and try some other delicious foods there. Overall it was a very enjoyable meal.

I really tried to like hibachi but sad to say this might be my last time going. The workers were helpful as possible but the food was just not that good this time. When we first arrived the floor was very sticky felt like I was stuck on a glue trap. We then proceeded to order our food once the food got to our table it was just okay. My noodles were very over cooked and soft. The noodles were also very salty. The food was indeed hot and fresh just over cooked. I’ve been here numerous of times and every time was just okay. For the price your better off eating at wasabi or Benihana. Also they charge a 18% gratuity which is very expensive for this place. Sad to say I will not be back here there are better options out ther for the price. Once again the workers are not bad and very happy just the food quality was not the best.

If I had to review this place solely based on the Hibachi experience I’d probably have given it at least three stars.
The Hibachi grill was pretty standard. The food was OK, not great, and the chef did a nice job with the grill entertainment.
Aside from that, this place is awful.
The first thing I noticed was how empty it was at 6:30 p.m. on a Thursday. That should have been my first clue. Then, I couldn’t help but notice how dirty the place was overall. My feet were sticking to the floor as I walked to our table and once I sat down my shoes were almost glued to the floor.
Our server was pretty bad… and that’s being kind.
My 13-​year old son ordered a California roll for dinner. My 10, soon to be 11-​year old daughter ordered the Pokemon (chicken/​shrimp Hibachi). My wife had the pineapple chicken hibachi and I had a chicken stir fry hibachi.
Again, the Hibachi was fine. The egg rolls we ordered could have been frozen and microwaved and the soup was pretty gross.
I had planned to be very stingy on my tip due to our server’s lack of attention to our table. With no other tables – I’m not exaggerating, we were the only group in the hibachi side of the restaurant – our server should have checked on us, at least to refill our drinks.
I was shocked when I received the bill to see 18-​percent gratuity already added, which pushed our dinner total for four (two adults and two kids) to $ 91.50.
Seriously? 18-​percent gratuity? No wonder our server seemed careless. He was. He already was getting 18-​percent, why work harder?
Our purpose for visiting the Hibachi was to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. It was her choice. She wanted the sparkler cake dessert. Unfortunately, this Hibachi didn’t have it. They did have a cheesecake my kids were excited about, but apparently the restaurant was out. They settled for sherbert, which might have been in the freezer since the day the place opened. At least they ate the whipped cream.
We won’t be back and I don’t recommend this place to anyone else.

This place is sad looking. I would only come here to do hibachi in a group setting. It’s not very crowded so you will feel the restaurant is yours. So dreary looking and always empty. Had the sushi, not bad.

I’m only giving one star because the miso soup was good. To start it off, the place was empty when my boyfriend and I arrived. That should have been the first indicator that our experience was going to be disappointing.
The dressing on the salad was literally mayonnaise. The yum yum sauce tasted pretty mayo-​y too, but the boyfriend didn’t seem to mind it too much. The hibachi was nice and efficient, we were the only people there though. After a few bites of my meal I notice a hair so naturally I pulled it out. I’m normally not one to complain if I’m unsatisfied but I draw the line at hair. When I told our server she offered a new plate of rice, which I refused and then she took my plate away. When she returned she told us she took $ 2 off the bill for the rice… and then she said ‘none of us have long hair, that’s not our hair’. Keep in mind before I said anything about it I made sure it wasn’t my hair… I have RED, CURLY hair. The hair I found was brown and about 5 inches long. Oh yes, every employee we encountered besides the man who grilled our food had long hair. The guy who prebussed our soup/​salad dishes had his hair in a ponytail. Don’t try to make the guest look at fault, especially in this situation. I understand hair falls out, but I don’t want it in my overpriced food. Won’t be returning.

I really like this place. It’s my restaurant of choice when traveling to this area. I can always try something different and you can order hibachi from the bar which is awesome. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I really go in for both the people and the food. Will continue to frequent this place as long as I’m in town! The Japanese nachos are my favorite appetizer (I live dip and it reminds me of crab/​tuna dip in a chip) the salmon sashimi is always delicious and the filet mignon hibachi was delicious.

I was not expecting good things based on the other Unilocal reviews of Hibachi, but I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere at Hibachi is very nice and they were easily able to accommodate our larger group of 20 people. The service was very good and they made sure we were taken care of. I cannot comment on the hibachi as I opted for sushi, but the sushi was fresh and delicious. The seaweed salad was also very cold and good.
My dining mates enjoyed the hibachi and the chef made it entertaining. The portions were very large and everyone left full and happy. I have no complaints about my experience at Hibachi!

This was my first time trying this restaurant. I had been craving hibachi style cooking for a while. I had been planning on visiting for a while so I checked out the menu online before going. I have a picky eater so I needed to know what I was in for. I saw a possible meal for my little one online but not on the printed menu. When I inquired about it the waitress had no idea what I was talking about even after I showed her on my phone. She said that it wasn’t their website even though it had their address as well as their other location. At any rate we were seated by the hostess and while we waited for more people to be seated I noticed that the place wasn’t exactly the cleanest. There was still crumbs of food on the grill and on the sides of the grill. The floor was also sticky and my glass of pepsi didn’t look clean. Another Unilocal reviewer stated that the salad dressing was mayo. I laughed when I saw it because it looked like a glob of spiced mayo. It actually wasn’t too bad. I ordered the combo hibachi dinner with strip steak and teriyaki chicken and fried rice instead of steamed. The entire meal was way too salty. I’m not sure where things went wrong. The chef kept saying ooh this is Japanese ketchup as he poured lots of some sauce on the food. I don’t know if it was soy sauce or not. There was plenty of food but it just didn’t do it for me. It wasn’t worth what I paid and the fried rice was pitiful. Save your money and don’t bother paying the extra $ 2. I won’t be going back. Once was enough. I’ll stick with the chain restaurants. By the way just a side note another Unilocaler mentioned the dirty fish tank that greets you. Well its still filthy. My kid liked it because it looked like Dori in Finding Nemo and followed his finger as he went from one side to another.

This place is very average in all respects. Plusses– the do not skimp on the proteins and vegetables.
Negatives — salad dressing is mayo, no garlic, pepper, and bland fried rice. Only 2 eggs for 8 orders of fried rice. The show was pretty borring.

I have it three stars bc the service was kind of crappy and the food was not hot. I really don’t know if I’ll come back to this place.
The waitress was ok in the beginning but as the meal progressed she got lazy. I sat in the sushi bar area bc I was alone which wasn’t a problem.
I ordered the New York strip and scallops which was a combo. The salad and soup came out and the lettuce was discolored and the onions were tough.
My entrée arrived pretty fast but she never brought any sauce that would normally be offered when you sit at the large cooking/​hibachi table (Idk the real name). Instead she stood there talking to a guy who ordered take out about phone cases. About 15 minutes later she finally remembered I existed and asked if everything was ok? I told her I never received sauce and asked for a box and sauce.
She did, finally, bring me both sauces and her lack of service was reflected in the gratuity. «Good service prompts good reward.»

Decided to take the kids to their first hibachi experience. This place was the closest, plus they had a Groupon deal… easy decision. I made reservations for 8pm Friday night. Never been here before, kids were excited. When we first walked in, we were greeted by a dirty, pathetic looking fish tank with only a fish or two in it. My daughter agreed and let out a long, drawn out «uh, yeaaaahhhh». Not a very impressive first impression to be greeted with. There weren’t many people dining in, so we were seated immediately… which I would’ve expected anyway as we had reservations. We were seated at a table in which already had a couple seated. They asked our server how much longer until the cook comes. The couple told us that they had already finished their soup and salad and had been there a while and were thinking of leaving. But just as they said that, our chef came. I thought the food was pretty good, aside from my steak being a bit over cooked — I asked for medium and it was little on the well done side. The shrimps, scallops, and chicken were all well prepared. I thought the chef could’ve been a tad more entertaining, but the kids enjoyed the show and their food. Our server was really nice and attentive. Overall, a decent experience… but I’d advise to do something about that aquarium.

I stopped going to Hibachi years ago. I just can’t stand the look of that poor fish tank when I walk in. Please clean it! It’s been years now that it has been that filthy!
Today I decided that I needed sushi so I braved going back. Servers are usually awful so I went for take out. I ordered a dragon roll. I was disapointed that the roll looked sloppy and not very appatizing. I was charged .50 for sauce on the side. No one was in the restaurant and it was lunch time. I really feel bad our city has a place that is not cared for and you can tell it’s not doing well because of lack of customers. These people need to get there stuff together. When I used to come in the owner would sit at the bar and drink while the restaurant was out of supplies. I will drive the extra miles to get to Wasabi instead.

There was a giant piece of butter in my fried rice and it just tasted too buttery/​salty in general. Worst part is… About 2 seconds after we both finished eating my boyfriend and I immediately needed to both use the bathroom. Oh my god it was horrible. My boyfriend also noted there was only one stall in the men’s room so he had to wait and it was almost too late. You don’t even want to know. Well, maybe you do. It was like… A soft serve chocolate ice cream just pouring out of our bum holes… Seriously… Wet, liquid shit, everywhere. Yuck. Haha. This is gross, but, true. Avoid this place if you can. Worst hibachi I’ve ever had in my life.

I called in and order before leaving work so that I could just grab it and go. It was just barely okay, and it filled my tummy. That is pretty much what I was looking for seeing as how this isn’t really a sushi place. In fact, I guess I really don’t recommend the sushi at all. It was pretty bad. Their hibachi is much better.
On hibachi’s website they advertise that Wednesday and Sunday are ‘buy-​one-​get-​one-​half-​off sushi days’ yet when I asked the hostess why I was overcharged she told me the deal only applies to dine-​in customers. Hibachi fails to mention that on their website or on their menu.
This place is dirty.
If you can find a different hibachi style-​restaurant that is just slightly further then I would go there. Definitely if you want sushi do not eat here.

This place is the ultimate worst.
I am disgusted about our dinner and service and management from last nights dinner.
First I am allergic to shrimp and the cook decides to fling hot shrimp off the grill into my husbands mouth with no warning.
It did bounce off me.
Upon lighting the grill, the cook struck a match and a piece hit my chin.
The ultimate is there were 3 parties at our table. Us and 2 black parties. All parties of 3. The black had 18% gratuities added on their checks as we did not.
Totally disgusted and I am thinking of contacting the City.
I do not want to be in a city that is part of this culture.

The one star goes to the food, which wasn’t bad.
Awful service; I mean it! The worst service I’ve ever received, ever!
It started with the hostess not knowing what to do with all the people who were piled up in the door. We had a reservation. Then the manager or owner came and told her something so she started sorting people to their tables; but it was still a total mess.
We asked to sit for dinner, not hibachi.
Drinks came probably good 15 – 20 min after we ordered them (we just had a beer and water).
Then we ordered some sushi and some hot food. The sushi came relatively fast but when we asked about the hot food the same manager/​owner almost got mad and said: I’m so busy here I didn’t have time to go to the kitchen to get it yet. WTF!!!
We never did get our miso soups, which I guess were getting cold in the kitchen, even though we asked for them a couple of times.
Then came the check and there was a mistake on it, of course. I waited for her to come back and pick it up — she never did. I finally went to the bar where she was standing, cleaning glasses and chatting with some customer at the bar. When I said: I’d like to pay now, please? She was like: oh ok… like she was doing me a favor.
I didn’t leave any tip; and it takes a lot for me to not leave any tip, cause I used to be a waitress and know how important those are.
Obviously, we will never be back.

My wife and I were in the neighborhood and decided to stop here on a whim.
Upon entering the restaurant there was nothing special and two hostesses who weren’t too knowledgeable about the menu. My wife and I decided to opt for just sushi and pass on hibachi this time. We had the usual maki rolls, California, Spicy Tuna, and Philadelphia rolls. We also tried the Ruby and Dragon rolls which were house specialty rolls which came recommended by the waitress. We also each got a side of fried rice.
The food arrived in a timely manner and is what you would expect from standard maki rolls. The specialty rolls were very good. my wife and I really enjoyed the dragon roll. The ruby roll had a bit too much fish roe for our liking but was still decent. the fried rice, for some reason, was some of the best fried rice I’ve had in quite some time.
All in all we had a very good meal at prices that were on par with comparable restaurants in the area. My wife and I will most likely return for another sushi dinner on Sunday, because they offer half price that day. I would certainly recommend the sushi for anyone interested in trying a new place.
