Maki of Japan is located in the Grapevine Malls food court, serving good hibachi style meals in a fast, cheap, and convenient manner to the public.

After a long day of shopping till we dropped, we had the urge to fulfill our growling bellies with food and ended up at Maki of Japan for hibachi. The line was fairly long but went fast due to the amounts of chefs on the grill whipping up the orders. We went ahead and ordered the beef teriyaki with mixed veggies over a bed of steamed jasmine rice. Within minutes of placing our order, the chef was on it working his magic. The food was packed and loaded in a Styrofoam container and presented to us after we paid our bill. The food in the container definitely was enough for more than one person and looked great! The beef was sliced thin and tender and paired well with the rice but was also very sweet.

I've been a regular at Maki of Japan in Grapevine Mills for a while now, but it's honestly getting harder to justify coming back. The employees are always rude and disrespectful customer service seems like an afterthought here.

To make matters worse, they always stop serving their most popular dishes (like my favorite bourbon chicken) more than an hour before closing. If you're going to post closing hours, at least offer your full menu until then. Cutting off the best items early just tells your regulars that their business doesn't matter.

I’ve given this place multiple chances, but the pattern never changes. This kind of experience makes it really easy to take my...
