Hibachi Japanese Express — Restaurant in Lutz

Edit. Prices have gone up and service has gone down, very long wait times now. I'll probably still come here occasionally, but not regularly anymore. And for some reason they have sweet tea on tap and sweet tea brewed. The only diet I don't drink is Diet Coke and they ran out of coke zero, leaving me with a drink i really can't use. They really didn't seem to care.

I really didn't expect much coming here, figured it would be another taste the same Chinese clone that you find all over everywhere.

I was wrong, so wrong...

I ordered chicken with fried rice, came with some yum yum sauce and a 20oz drink for $6.95 (lunch)

they actually have Coke Zero!

It was one of the best Asian meals I've ever had. It was fantastic in taste and freshness. Included an assortment of veggies as well: carrots, broccoli, zucchini and possibly more.

The portions are average, enough to fill up most people,...

1/5 stars - Disappointing Experience at Hibachi Japanese Express

I recently visited Hibachi Japanese Express with my wife, and the experience was a disaster. We placed our orders separately, with mine being non-spicy and his being spicy. When I pointed out the mistake, she argued that I hadn't specified it was for two people, despite my wife place order first and then me placing mine after hers.

To fix the issue, they took my food and supposedly remade it. However, it appeared that they simply cleaned the same sushi and put it on a separate plate. I noticed orange sauce spots everywhere, which was concerning. My wife has multiple food allergies, this lack of attention to detail is alarming and could have led to a serious reaction.

The service was also poor, with the register lady being argumentative rather than apologetic. Overall, I would not recommend Hibachi Japanese Express due to their carelessness with food preparation...

We just had dinner from here tonight, and met Ken, the Sushi Chef. Ken explains that this store and the one in Wesley Chapel are family owned and operated! I've added two more photos.

A wonderful addition to the Southeastern Lutz eateries! The Hibachi Japanese Express is a few months old now, and is an excellent place to eat. They serve a wide variety of fresh, tasty menu items cooked as you order in woks, not ladled out of hours-old bins. They specialize in Sushi Rolls (35 different types) and have a bar with a Sushi Chef!

I took photos of the menus to save time explaining. Viki and the other hosts are very accommodating, the place is squeaky clean and the food is delicious. If you are traveling it will be a great, quick stop that you and your family will enjoy. They are about 30 seconds away from...
