Hashi Japanese Kitchen - Allen — Restaurant in Allen

Came here based on the hundreds of 5 star reviews and almost immediately felt like I had been duped. Regular restaurant pricing, for low quality, self-order food. You can order from a kiosk, the counter, or from your table using a QR code.

Every order requires a payment, meaning you can't submit an order for appetizers, the decide on your sushi or hibachi later unless you don't mind several transactions. They of course want full scale tips despite it being self-order, self serve (on the plates, drinks, chopsticks etc)

For appetizers, we ordered the spicy damage, served luke warm with a smattering a seasoning. We also ordered the vegetable tempura with a note/request for no mushrooms. That plate came out with 4 large mushrooms, onions, and zucchini. I asked the lady at the counter if they had any alternatives to mushrooms which they don't.

Ordered 3 rolls, the Ebi, the Phoenix, and the California roll tempura style. The rolls were basically one degree better than store bought rolls. The tempura roll was soft, not crunchy at all, tasted like a mushy batter roll.

We also tried ordering a side of fried rice with chicken, not possible on the app, or the kiosk, and when trying to do this at the counter, they couldn't do it. I just settled on just a fried rice. Bad choice, it was essentially white rice with a slight brown color to it. No flavor, no egg, no vegetables, and very bland.

Won't be back, hoping to save others the overpriced...

First time finding this hidden gem. I’m not sure how I have lived in Allen for almost 20 years and never been here. I ordered the hibachi chicken with fried rice. Chef’s 💋. The chicken was perfectly cooked. The bowl was filled with veggies which were also perfectly cooked. My family had different rolls- California w/ crunchy, spicy California, and a cowboy roll. All fabulous. Edamame was steamed to perfection. The chicken goya’s were also delicious.

We finished off the night with strawberry mochi, fried oreos (my kids favorite), and my personal favorite: taiyaki ice cream! Portions were perfect for dessert too.

Another thing I loved was the option to order at the kiosk or scan the QR code at the table and place your order. Every person can scan that QR code and it all goes on the same ticket if you’re sitting at the same table.

But don’t worry, the service was amazing even with the ordering being digital. The atmosphere was cozy and easy to order more if you needed to.

There is an option to add a tip. It’s not required, but I think you should because the staff is delightful.

I took zero photos because we were too busy enjoying...

Incredible! If you’re looking for hibachi style food in a fast casual setting you will love Hashi Japanese Kitchen!

The food was spectacular, protein is plentiful along with healthy vegetables and large portions (we needed a to-go box)! The flavor was delicious in each of our dishes and their homemade sauces are really tasty!

We met the Owner, Yang who is awesome and he explained the restaurant concept, described some of the fresh food ingredients, and explained the innovative app and technology used in the restaurant.

We sat down at our table, scanned a QR code, selected the items each of us wanted to order, (the app synced our orders into one ticket), once I paid for the order and the transaction was complete… our server immediately brought out water and silverware. Our dishes were cooked quickly and came out hot and ready to enjoy.

We ordered and enjoyed the crab rangoons, steak hibachi, and shrimp hibachi.

The restaurant is clean, modern with bright colors and fun decor. Service was friendly and helpful.
