Hibachi Grill — Restaurant in Greenville

First impressions, the cashier was on a personal phone call when we tried to pay. The rest of the staff was rude. Cooks were dismissive, like you didn't exist even when you asked them a direct question.

The Hibachi grill portion was limited but tasted okay, looked clean, and offered healthy options. But unless you stand there and watch, you have no idea whose plate is whose and this causes a lot of issues.

Other buffets I've been to ring a bell when a plate is done, and if you try to take the wrong plate, the cook will stop you. Or, you place a metal number next to your plate when you drop it off, and the cook puts this number next to the finished plate when it's ready for pick up. Here, it is your problem and a complete "free for all," causing a lot of confusion.

Buffet was kept full, but the food was mediocre at best, and, to me, the flavors were off. But I'm new to the area, so maybe the flavor issue is a regional thing.

That said, they also had everyone crammed in one tiny section, despite having tons of room. We didn't like at all, as there were some people near us that were obviously sick, yet there was no place to move in the tiny area we were in.

We never got offered additional beverages, and no one checked on us the entire time we were there. But perhaps that is because there was only one server, and two tables were running her ragged. The table looked and felt dirty, and upon sitting down, we physically cleaned the table, which did not help the sticky feeling.

The lighting in the place is poor, which gives you the impression it is dirty. I don't know if it is, but the darkness makes it feel that way. However, the bathroom was clean and bright enough and had all of the amenities.

This is an aging, dark buffet, with okay food, a decent grill, and limited options in both sections. We ate and left quickly, as the table was gross, the sick people around us, and being forced to be smashed together like sardines, for no purpose, (you didn't wait on us anyway and you pay upfront, so why doesn't matter where I sit?!)

In addition, if you added a silverware and a drink dispenser, you could just get rid of the server and just have the busboy. People could fetch their own. Make the drink part of the cost of the meal (even if they get water), and then you can sit where you want. Doesn't matter how many servers you have, problem solved.

Personally, this is my first and last trip to this restaurant. If I want to be treated badly, eat mediocre food, and eat in the dark, I can find better...

Population I got there around 12:00 It was not to busy. It opened maybe and hour before we got there. So if you don't want it to be to busy go on a Monday-Thursday and on a Friday in before the evening times. Now to the food... A lot of the food was pretty good, like it tasted pretty good. But the food that was supposed to be hot was actually kind of cold. Not like super cold but not as hot as it should have been. Today I wasn't to hungry so I didn't have much.

Food I had a salad it was good. There wasn't a lot of options of what to put on it. The are 2 types of lettue, cheese, eggs, and a few types of ranch. 8 out of 10

I had grapes, the grapes were okay some of them were going bad. Like some were brown and super squishy and juciy. 6 out of 10 The last thing I had was mozzarella sticks. They were okay. They were room temperature. The bread around it was fine. The cheese wasn't melted at all. It kinda looked like a cheese stick squished together. Kinda like it was melted before and cooled down. But it tasted fine.

I don't really understand why the food wasn't hot though because it was lunch time and it has open for like only an hour. So you would think that the food would be hot because they keep say the food is always hot. 6 out of 10

Price So considering this is a buffet you don't pay for food off a menu. So I went with 2 adults and I'm a teenager. The price for us 3 was $42 and some change. So this place is pretty expensive. 4 out of 10

Staff The staff was very kind and very good at their jobs. They give you fortune cookies. She gave us all 1 and gave us all 1 more on our way out. The lady at the front desk was okay as well. 9 out of 10.

Over all experience So over all I think this place is good. I do wish the food would be better. I wish that the food that is supposed to be hot was hot . I think it would be hot closer to rush our maybe. I'm not sure. But I believe it should be hot no matter what time. But unfortunately it wasn't hot while I was there. But the staff was great the place was clean. So I will give the place a over all...

I love this place especially the make your plate of diff items which are usually fresh and give it to the guy at grill and tell him how u want it cooked. One downside to that is his English or understanding of it is not the best so be specific and just tell him with fewer words the better of how u want it cooked ( med rare, well done etc) and what sauces and spices u would also like it cooked with (garlic, butter, teriyaki, pepper etc) and those men will do rite by u so do rite by them and don't forget a tip its rite on counter! Plus the buffet has got alot of great food it's sort of Chinese American if u would say bc it has mash pot and corn on cob pizza and fries for kids. How ever, its got lomein, beef n broccoli, teriyaki chick sticks etc. But my favorite is the fresh stir fried green beans( delish), black pepper chicken and black pepper shrimp which has lil sauce at the bottom but its great with crispy chick, bell pepper and onions wit a sweet sauce. An my husband loves the black pepper shrimp ( I dont eat any seafood bc allergic, otherwise I would bc smells delish) and hibachi chicken and stir fry fresh mushrooms in a brown sauce plus have alot of fruit to choose from and all fresh and pineapple and sliced oranges are def my favs. To top it off they also have ice cream and the best bc brings back memories of school bc they serve those white Styrofoam cups with pull off lids like in school and have chocolate and vanilla and strawberry and I believe orange but don't hold me to that. So all around best buffet/grill in my opinion. And prices are not bad at all for what u are getting I thought be lil higher but I'm not complaining Ima penny pincher. And again with all that great food with good selection and prices are great, Please dont forget to tip especially the grill person bc I'm telling u he cooks it to perfection and I'm a really pickie eater especially when it comes to any...
