Hibachi Japanese Steakhouse 6901 Rockside Road, Independence, OH 44131

"Went here to celebrate our daughter's 16th birthday and had a great time. Our chef's were so funny and entertaining and we were all laughing and having a good time. I wish I could remember his name, but he looks like Rob Schneider hehe"

"No idea why this place does not have a 5 star rating yet. We eat here often. Never had a bad meal or experience. Drinks are strong and delicious. Food is always cooked to perfection. Service is outstanding!!!! The other well-known habachi chain restaurants CANNOT compete with what this restaurant offers. You've gotta try it! Ask for Chef Chris, if he's there, he's the best! So engaging, so funny. Its dinner and a show... Be sure to tip well, they deserve it!!!❤️"

"We’ve been coming here for years, it was our first restaurant we visited the day they opened after the Covid lockdowns, unfortunately the place has gone downhill to the point that nobody there cares anymore. We used to sit at the bar almost every week and there were great bartenders, that have all left. The bar area never opened back up after Covid. Our weekly visit turned to a few times a year. It’s piled with stuff everywhere, the menus are filthy, your shoes stick to the floor, yet we continued to go back for the good sushi. Service was awful, we would sit at the sushi bar and the chef was awesome but the servers wouldn’t show up to take our order. We would literally be eating our sushi before the server even showed up, we ordered drinks that never came, it was so sad. Then one day, no sushi chef! I’d call every few months to see if they got a new chef and today I called and was happy to hear they did. We showed up to a huge mess, couldn’t sit at the sushi bar now either, it was also covered with stuff. We were seated at a table near the sushi bar with disgustingly dirty and barely legible menus. Funny part is when the manager took us to the table, he set down the crumpled dirty sushi menu and there were already two menus on the table and the seats were pulled out and he made a gesture and said something under his breath like “oh there’s already menus here…” as if he realized he must have sat people there and they left. We waited and waited, no server came, we went to the manager (or owner?, same Asian guy who’s always been there every time we go, we were regulars for years and he never once came to us and asked us how things were or just to introduce e himself, nothing, never.) after a 10 minute wait and told him we will never return. So sad, it was our favorite place."

"A great place to visit with friends! We all got the combo dinner. Onion soup and salad were so good! All our dinners were great. Exactly what you want in a hibachi restaurant. Portions were huge. Prices are fair. And the servers and cooks are so kind and fun! Happy we stopped in. I recommend the bourbon chicken. It was my favourite."

"We had 5:30 reservations. We wanted to sit in the main dining room and order off the regular menu and NOT have the hibachi meals cooked right in front of us. We had tickets to an event after dinner. The hostess said it would be a while before they could get to us in that dining room and we would get served faster if we ate at the hibachi table. So she took us to a hibachi table. We arrived and were seated before the people at the next table but then they put other people at our table. The next table was served first. We got our drinks , soup and salad after a little while but the chef did not come to our table to even start cooking until 6:40, so we had been there 1 hour and 10 minutes already. We left at 7:22 and were late to our event Downtown. When we first arrived, a chef in the other room was incredibly loud in his entertaining, so we could not even hear each other to talk. It seemed like the people at his table were enjoying him though. The food was good and our chef was nice and entertaining though. The floor going in between the 2 rooms was very slippery and everyone in our party noticed it. We will not return due to the incredibly loud atmosphere, the slippery floor and the really long wait for food."
