Tonbo Hibachi Grille

"My wife and I had 7pm reservations last night (02/13/2024) for the hibachi experience. We arrived just prior to our reservation time, and were told that there is only one chef working and that it would be a bit of a wait. It was recommended that we sit at the bar while we wait, and so we did. While we were greeted almost immediately once we sat at the bar, I ordered a diet soda and my wife ordered a water (later on she ordered a cabernet). It took a considerable amount of time for us to receive our drinks. There were also ZERO napkins at the bar. After a half hour wait, we were then escorted to the hibachi table. Every hibachi that I have ever gone to including Tonbo, we were given soup, salad, rice, noodles, vegetables, and proteins of our choosing. Never before was I asked to choose between soup or salad, I choose salad, and I asked if I wanted Ranch or Italian dressing (in a Japanese style restaurant?), once I received my salad, I noticed the lettuce was mostly brown (no expediter?), asked to choose between rice and noodles (which never happened before), and while the chef was really good and entertaining my noodles tasted off, maybe a bit old and a bit crunchy. We were never offered spicy mayo, just yum yum sauce. I also felt we were rushed out after our dinner. Definitely not worth the $75 I paid for dinner. The inside felt run down and dingy. We will not be back, as of now, I'd rather drive to Spring Hill or Tampa to get hibachi."

"Fantastic experience that could not have been better! Maui, our chef, made this a fun putting with family who was visiting from NC. The food was great and don’t pass up on the noodles! Yum!"

"Okay so I overall I'll give 4 stars, the employees were friendly and the food has always been good, however there was a mishap that I'd hope to see avoided in the future. I ordered a sashimi dinner to go, got some sauces with it, as someone usually would all the sauces were in a bag and the dinner in a large container, however the sauce containers you have ATM are complete garbage, the lids don't lock down nearly enough to hold liquids, and so out of the 6 containers I had. All the ones that could leak did, because they were all in a bag together stacked 2 high some easily fell over and immediately began leaking. I called and spoke with someone so that you could be made aware of the containers issues, surprisingly I was told you have actually gotten a few complaints about them recently. I'm surprised because I'd hope you'd take measures (seeing as you are aware) to avoid this till you get a better shipment in, such as putting the sauces in another large plastic container or bagging 2 at a time non-stacked. Please talk with everyone there it's such a simple thing that can cause so many issues, think, what if that had leaked all over someones car seats, maybe ruined some clothes? I didn't drop or carry the bag erratically otherwise I'd know this was my fault. If the manager wants to reach out I have video showing the lids and their faulty behavior. This isn't fair to you guys and it's not fair to the customer."

"Dishes left next to us from previous customers the entire time. Only us and one other table. Food was excellent. Top notch sushi chef. Hands down delicious rolls. Customers having a discussion about topics in a very belittling way to others way of life made it even more uncomfortable. I won't be back. Sorry guys."

"Definitely one of the best places for sushi in the New Port Richey area! From their uniquely crafted rolls, to fresh hibachi and fantastic service, this is a great place for a date night or family dinner. The Crab Rangoons are amazing! Parking is easy and the food comes out really fast. It's extremely reasonably priced and the quality is worth it."
