Had a alright experience here in March and a good experience in December during 2020. We got the hibachi show but the cook didn't seem to be trained well or enthusiastic. The table next to us though got a cook that was really enthusiastic and did more tricks; It was a good thing the other cook was performing so close to our table because we got to basically a better show to make up for it. I had an abomination of Japanese-ish American converted foods on my plate it remember it all tasting good.In December of 2020, I just came in for a brief visit and just sat at the bar to get some sushi and it wasn't disappointing despite this literally being a hibachi place. I remember it being clean and that the bartender was super helpful and friendly as well, 10/10 would go again.

Was wanting hibachi, our last visit to Mr. Hibachi was good, so we went back. When we got there we were informed it was a 30 minute wait, but we could order from the menu. We were seated and waited more than 15 minutes and still no one came to our table. But the 2 parties of 4 that sat in the both on either side of us were taken care of immediately. 3 times we tried to flag someone down and they ignored us to take cared of the other tables. Hell they got their drinks and ordered!!! I guess we are the wrong ethical group to come to this establishment!?!? So we got up and left. My wife informed the hostess that our table is available. She looked at her said nothing, and greeted the new couple that walked in, yes they were non white also. What a wasted night!

I was there for my birthday in April. It was the greatest experience I ever had. Had so much fun. But last week I took my dad for his birthday and it was so hot the front windows really need thicker fm and darker shades....My mom did not enjoy it and the show was great but it was so hot in there. Not sure we will visit this one soon. Otherwise great tasting food and fun experience. ?

We went here for my mother’s birthday and had a great time. We were seated quickly and the waiter was attentive and friendly. The cook was funny and be put on a display that kept us entertained. The food was delicious. We enjoyed ourselves.

This was our first time here and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much to Chef Nia for the AMAZING food and experience!! We will definitely recommend and be back.

I was expecting a better turn out from Mr. Hibachi.. We seriously over paid for the bland food we received. We payed about $110 for me and my husband, we got nothing fancy out of our regular hibachi meal we would order back home and pay HALF of what we did here.. We both got regular meals and soft drinks. My kids shared a side ride. The chicken had no taste , neither did my husband's steak. I ordered chicken and shrimp and the shrimp was the only thing on my plate that had flavor.. I ordered a sushi roll and it was like a mini version of a roll. Super tiny. The rolls where a little bit bigger than the size of a MINI OREO. The cook was decent.. We didn't order noodles and he slapped noodles on all of our plates, and veggies on my husband's plate, which he didn't want, I'm unsure if he didn't understand "NO THANK YOU".. Lastly, I was offended when he asked if I planned to have a "soccer team" because my husband and I had 3 kids. And also tried to speaking to us in Spanish. I assume because we are Mexican Americans he thought we spoke Spanish. Anyways, overall we weren't happy about our visit, won't be returning and definitely wouldn't recommend.

Where to even begin! We sat down and waited, and waited! Finally an hour after we sat down at our table, they began to cook our food. The server was new and barely returned to our table for anything. Then when another guest at our table asked another server to ask our server to come back for refills, we were actually told to be patient because they’re all stressed out. I’ve never in my life ever had a server tell a customer to be patient when we simply asked for our server to refill our drinks. I’ll follow up with the rest of the review if we make it out of here! Word of advice, do not come on a Saturday afternoon, that’s mention number 1! Finally after the chef ran back to the kitchen 3 times to get ingredients that were forgotten, we’re finally eating two hours after we got here! Do yourself a favor and stay clear of this place! It’s such a shame! It used to be so good and enjoyable but this time burned us to the point that we’ll never be back! Oh and this was my birthday lunch at that! I guess if you’re gonna do it bad, you might as well do it spectacularly bad! Like I said, don’t bother with this location!

Visited this location (party of 2) on a Saturday evening around 7pm. Waited a little over an hour to be seated and an additional hour before the chef came to the table. I ordered sushi and a cocktail, and was served soup and salad so the wait did not bother me. The chef was very polite and attentive, the waiter not so much. What did bother me was the ambiance of the restaurant. It was extremely loud, and obnoxious. We actually considered leaving prior to the chef coming. Many guests at various tables throughout the restaurant were yelling and screaming. Unseated guests were standing around tables to fellowship with people they knew. It was very “ratchet” for a lack of a better term to fully describe the experience. Management needs to do something about unruly guests, as they will lose good patrons due to tasteless behavior. The food was good. The sushi gets 5 stars. I found the grilled meat to be overly salty, but that was my only complaint. Although I enjoyed the meal I would not go back due to the behavior. For the money we paid we could go to a much finer restaurant who does not allow guests to run amok in the dining area. Save that for a club or bar!!! Signed a young, black professional.

Shame on you Mr. Hibachi! I left your bartender a cash Tip and your bartender did not even provide me any service. No where to be found during my entire meal. Only one person brought me my meal and no one asked to bring me a drink or ask if everything was okay.I still tipped for my meal in cash and your bartender went ahead and filled in a tip on my receipt! This is unacceptable and fraud!!!

Chef and food was good. However it took almost an hour and a half after we were seated before a chef come to cook our food on the hibachi. Several people at our table got up and left due to the long wait. I understand that the restaurant is short staff, they should let the customers know before being seated!!!
