Poor service most every time at Hiro 88 either Lincoln location. Food is good which is why we go, but service is not friendly, slow, and very lacking even with ample staff and only a few customers.

Very last minute decision to come here for dinner for our Anniversary date night because this was the only place that was open fairly late.We got here around 9:35 and were extremely happy that they still so does even though they closed at 10.Major MAJOR shout out to our server first of all! What a gem!So friendly and always checking and honest if we needed anything - and it was out of genuine concern and not just to make us leave.In fact, we ended up staying beyond 10:00 p.m. and he was still super nice the entire time. Really friendly and bubbly and nice to talk to as well.As for the food.. I got the beef and broccoli and really loved it! It was steaming hot! Definitely freshly made. Good chunks of meat and really good amount of broccoli as well. I love the ratios on this year. There was quite an amount of sauce though which I was not expecting but overall it was a really good dish. May or may not have burned my tongue, but it was all worth it!My fiance got the Thai chicken curry from the entree section. He also had a good amount of vegetables in there and the chicken was really well cooked. Quite some big pieces of chicken too. Another fresh dish with a lot going on but very good things going on.We got the side salad for both orders. It was a simple greens plus dressing kind of a salad, but that dressing was out of this world! I asked the server and he said it was an in-house carrot ginger dressing. I'm now on the lookout for a good one to purchase!To end the meal we asked for the scallion pancake. Server was surprised this was our ending, but he went with it. Put it in just before the kitchen closed. The pancake was nice and flaky and really fresh and warm and crispy. Quite an amount of oil on there so I had to take some out with paper towels by pressing it but I would totally order it again. It comes with a spicy sauce which is a must!

They apparently don't have air conditioning. It had to be 80 degrees in the restaurant. Everything else was great

I know it was hot outside, but it was very uncomfortable inside too, Also the music was at a level it was hard to carry on a conversation,

We had a great experience! Wonderful food, great service on a busy Saturday night! Only complaint was the temperature was hot outside and inside wasn’t very cool.

Reserve Happy SundayI came here all time on Sundays as a college student with my friends. With Sunday being reserved happy hour all day, my friends and I are able to experience the wonderful food at affordable prices. This is the first place I try Sushi and fall in love with it. The staff was friendly and the service was great. I have always had a good time here and enjoy coming back when possible, preferably on a Sunday.

Great food and atmosphere!! Will be back soon cannot wait!!
