Bland and insipid. Yes, I got a lot of food for the $23 I spent, but it was not particularly GOOD food. The steamed dumplings were heavy, better than frozen grocery store dumplings, and average by Gainesville standards I guess, but no comparison to Bentos off Jimmy Carter. The hibachi steak was overcooked, as were the vegitables. The fried rice, if you can even call it that, was pale, bland, only had a tiny bit of egg and nothing else in it. The yum yum sauce is bought, not house made, and despite what the packaging says it is not "the best ever", it tastes like chemicals and is bland. Regarding service: At the register there is a sign saying Extra yum yum sauce .58 cents. It also says minimum $5.00 for credit card charges. I told the guy TWICE that I wanted extra yum yum sauce. While waiting for our order to cook I checked the receipt, and sure enough, he hadnt rung up extra sauce. When I collected the order I asked if it had my extra yum yum sauce in it, ready for a fight. I was pleasantly surprised when he ran and grabbed an extra sauce and put it in the bag. Until I got home and discovered that the one he put in the bag was the ONLY one in the bag. If I had not requested my extra at check out, I would have gotten none. And despite the lackluster appeal of the prepackaged sauce, the bland overcooked food would have been inedible without it. Forgot to mention the chicken egg roll. WORST EGGROLL I HAVE EVER EATEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!! IT NASTY.

We tried Hibachi Express for the first time tonight and are VERY impressed! The facility is bare bones but it is very clean. The food came out in about 5 minutes, piping hot and looking very fresh. I ordered the hibachi steak entree with extra steak and my wife ordered the steak yakisoba bowl. Both were very delicious - the steak was cooked well, the vegetables were tasty and the rice and noodles were cooked perfectly. All for the amazing price of $18 for the two of us! We will definitely be repeat customers and may make this place our new Friday night spot.

Decent food, large portions, reasonable prices. The steak hibachi was huge, the steak good quality, but with even a container of yum yum sauce poured over it, it was a bit bland. Mixing in some soy sauce helped enhance the flavor tremendously. The chicken egg roll was VERY bland and I will not buy them from here again. Overall, I will definitely be back. I got three tasty, good sized meals (including leftovers) out of it for about $10.

The food here is amazing! & I dont say that too often about hibachi or chinese places. You definitely get MORE than you paid for! I had leftovers for days. & they also have my favorite...cream cheese wontons, without the crab! Which is very hard to find. Instead it is cooked with small diced onions & tastes great! They also have a 100 for their score. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone!

I love this place. I love that I can drive through and get a good meal. The portion is huge. I always get the hibachi steak and a chicken egg roll and it is always good. Love the yum yum sauce and the staff is friendly. I know getting hibachi through a drive thru seems sketchy, and I was unsure at first, myself, but this place is great. I have a hard time staying away.

I ate there on Friday night and was empty when I came in. The general tsos sauce was the worst Ive ever eaten. The hibachi chicken was pretty good. Customer service obviously takes a back seat to high-school drama where the one guy is surrounded by girls and is trying to be cool in front of them. Too many options in Gainesville for me to come back.

Do not go here. I drove 20 minutes to get to this place, hoping for hibachi food. I ordered chicken fried rice. Instead of giving me Japanese fried rice, they have me bland, tasteless, Chinese fried rice that is typically served for free or as a side at a Chinese restaurant. Absolutely disappointing.

Got an order of HIbachi shrimp with some fried and rice and some vegetables. The shrimp were overcooked and extremely salty, probably due to the soy sauce. No flavor other than a burnt salt taste. I eat very little salt so my opinion may be off for the general public. I will not be back.

Everyone who worked there is friendly and nice. Everything I ordered was correct. Furthermore, the food is great and the place is in excellent shape. The restaurant was clean, and the employees were proud to serve me. I recommend this place to everyone.

The food was really dry, flavorless. The steak was cut in large chunks with pink in the middle. The vegetables seemed to be very old. The food was just so not hibachi. As in for customer service it was great for me.

I love this place! The food is always delicious and cheaper than going to Kiku or a Japanese restaurant that you pay double for to watch them cook it.
