Hibachi Grill & Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Knoxville

We went here to get away from the crowds of Pigeon Forge tourism. Still had to wait about 30-45 mins at 6pm, but we figured as much. Absolutely worth the drive! We did the hibachi grill, and they gave us a show. Not the most incredible one I’ve ever experienced, but definitely was good and was what we came to see and show our daughter for the first time. Chef was jovial and fun. Made the happy face, the onion volcano, threw rice balls for you to catch in your mouth, the whole nine yards. Portions are tremendous, food was delicious, and the prices are outstanding considering all that you get. Attentive to drinks and sauce refills. 2 adults and 1 child ate for under $60 including drinks. About a 40 min drive from Pigeon Forge that takes you through a couple mountain back roads (it was 42 degrees when we drove- up from freezing temps the week before), but no icy spots that we encountered. Everyone in this town (we went to Lowes and Kroger as well, and ate with locals)...

We chose this restaurant because my daughter wanted hibachi for her birthday. We also thought avoiding the pigeon forge/Gburg/Seiverville area with our very large party was prudent. We waited an hour and 15 minutes and as a result, they were closing down when we were finally eating. They ran out of C02 so no soda. Seeet tea or water only. They did NOT complain when I got a soda from my car for the kids though!! The food was okay, very rushed and lackluster. All in all, a decent place but could use some improvements. They don’t accept reservations and even if you call ahead to let them know about a large party, it will not matter. You’re going to have to wait for the entire area population to eat before they seat you. The salad was awful and drenched in cheap ranch dressing. Soup tasted of bouillon only. Rice was undercooked...

Don't pay attention to the haters - this place is awesome! There are two sides to the restaurant sushi and hibachi. Pick the hibachi for the best experience. The service was great all the way around. A little bit of a wait, but they have to prepare a LOT of food before they come out and cook it in front of you! The show was awesome. They gave us plenty of food. Enough to take home and eat for a couple days. And it was REALLY tasty! Our kids now say this is their favorite restaurant. So we'll be back, I...
