“I took my Japanese MIL here for lunch today and we were very impressed. The sashima was so freah and the fried noodles were very good, the noodles were a bit sweet, but not bad at all. Our server was Fendi and he was amazing.
Will definitely be back.“

“The tuna poke bowl was fresh and so flavorful! I loved the minimalist design of the restaurant and traditional interior. You order at the counter and can enjoy a Japanese soda while you wait. Also their chef has a great attention to detail which is evident even when serving their delicious food.“

“The best place to eat! While on the weekend they may be busy and it takes a few minutes to be seated most of the time we have no wait! The staff is so friendly. Kim is the best CHEF IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, and Miko along with Joko give the best dining service!!! The bartenders are also fantastic for those 21+! We come here multiple times a week and always will. Definitely worth the wait and the drive. From top of the line food to the bestest friends, this is best place to eat!!!!“

“Great food. Great price.“

“Absolutely delicious!!! Very fresh. Great options. Fast service. Friendly, caring staff. I highly recommend this place. The mamba roll was wonderful- YUM!!!!

Kid-friendliness: Limited seating. It’s a small rectangle shaped place with not much for kids to get into. Service is really fast. You can get in and out in 30 minutes!

Wheelchair accessibility: Totally wheelchair accessible.“

“Ramen, boba, Mortal Kombat - what more could you want. My favorite ramen in all of Chatt & I have tried them all! My go-to is the Tonkatsu with a Thai tea 😋 Sooo good & they give you so much so come hungry.“

“My wife and I searched Google maps for Local Chinese food in East Brainerd. The hibachi express came up in the results and we decided to go. It is located in a small plaza at the corner of E. Brainerd Rd. and gunbarrel Road. We both ordered hibachi chicken and shrimp plates and they were a little over $15 apiece. Our total meal which is the two plates came out to $30 and change.

The chicken and the shrimp were excellent, and the vegetables were very good as well. The portions were big. My only complaint is that I did not like the brown rice you see in the picture. That was the fried rice we requested. It tasted very much of curry and had a dark, brownish flavor to it. I would highly recommend getting another style of rice other than their “fried “on the menu. As i left the rice untouched, the pieces of chicken and shrimp and vegetables were plenty enough to make me full.

I also tried the ginger sauce in which I dipped a few pieces in to see if I would like it. I did not care for it. I did not try the white sauce.

If you are local to the restaurant or in the area, they are good eats and aside from not liking the rice. I felt like they were just as good value as other small hibachi houses around the city.

Parking: Is located in a small wall and you may have to be careful with turns and backing in and out.“

“Good food. Generous portions. Reasonable price. Great call ahead and pick up ready in 15 to 20 minutes👍🏻“

“Wonderful service and food“

“Delicious food and good service at a surprisingly affordable price. $40 for my wife and I to have habachi chicken each and 3 roll sushi combo for lunch. They were also accommodating to my wife's request for just broccoli for her vegis.“

“place is amazing.... some of the best sushi in town“

“I love their food. I tried them a month ago and now this place has became my go to for hibachi...only thing I wish they had more zucchini and mushrooms and the carrots are soooo good I just can get enough. I had to ask for extra veggies because they're so good“

“This is not a fast food restaurant but they are super quick. They cook the food fresh after you order but we didn't have to wait long. You order at the counter but they bring the food to your table. The food was good and was hot. The only issue we had was that my wife asked for no mushrooms but had to pick them out of her entire meal. The building is much older and could use a bit of extra care. There are pumpers of white sauce on the counter so if you are dining in you can add what you need, or not if you don't like it. Plenty of parking and easy access from Hixson Pike“

“This place was super accommodating with our big double stroller and 2 kids! We dined for lunch on a week day and our waiter made sure everything was just right for us. Good service goes along ways when you’re out with kids and this place was on point!“

“Food is fresh and excellent I could not finish my meal I had to take it home. They give you a lot of food“

“Our favorite place to get sushi / hibachi! We went tonight for our daughter’s 4th birthday because she chose that for dinner! She’s calls it the “kitty cat place” because of the cat that delivers our food! They had it sing happy birthday! She got a light up crown and a treat! Thank yall so much for treating your customers like family!“
