I just want to say upfront...these people at Japan Express are my hero's. I was winding down from along day and night of working 2 jobs and I was hungry. So I called Japan Express within 10 minutes of them closing to place a to go order. I'd just like to say, that as a person who works in the restaurant industry, I absolutely hate when people show up right before you are supposed to close and want to dine in...it is absolutely inconsiderate. I don't mind you ordering takeout, but jeeze, be mindful of the people working there, they have lives too. Anyways, I ordered the hibachi chicken and shrimp with fried rice and white sauce. It was still piping hot when I got home. The flavors were delicious. The 2nd time I went to get take out, I made sure to do it well before these folks were closed. Got the hibachi steak and chicken this time, of course with the fried and white sauce.... Btw, the inside of Japan Express isn't fancy, but they've got 2 big screen tv's for you to watch while you eat, so that's nice, and it's super clean. Am definitely a loyal, new customer of this establishment! Will be ordering again soon I'm sure!

- You Get What You Pay For - Shrimp Tempura appetizer, and Miso. Shrimp disappointing taste, texture. Stale cooking oil. Emergency potty calls all night. Miso. Salty warm water w/3 tiny square cabbage scrap floaters. Attempted but 2 spoonfuls.

I wanted to try Japan Express to see if it's a quality take out hibachi place. Fried rice was very dry, I didn't know how long the shrimp had been "pre cooked" for and the chicken was dried out. The white sauce tasted watered down and there was nothing tasty about this meal. It was "express" because nothing was freshly made. When I placed my order, they scooped out the ingredients from a warmer and placed it in a to go box. Sadly, I will not be returning to this hibachi place in the future.

The food was okay. I just think I was expecting it to be more like Chinese takeout.

Always really good, fast and the people who work are always very kind. It's a smaller space but never packed so a great place to dine in if you're feeling like it or makes good takeout.

Not so good. Very few vegetables and the ginger sauce was bland and in these weird packets. Sad but should've listened to the other reviews

Food is fair but price is a bit high. This is a fast food restaurant. Almost $40 for my wife and I.
