TJ Hibachi and Sushi — Restaurant in Middleburg Heights

When I went in I ordered the hibachi with noodles and rice. Surprisingly they put both in one portion which was really nice. The owner seems like a hipster guy and was really nice. I recommend using their spicy teriyaki because it is actually good and although it’s not really spicy it does leave a tingle in your mouth as you eat. The portions are huge and I would say it’s decently priced. If you’re looking for quick hibachi this would be it. The only thing I will say is I wish there were more vegetables in my hibachi. When you eat hibachi the rice noodles and vegetables and protein is what it’s all about especially when they use that spicy teriyaki even a picky eater would eat the broccoli because it’s so good. Also lastly the faces on the workers and TJ the owner seemed to be neutral. lol I couldn’t tell if they were mad, sad, or irritated, or happy. I would recommend smiling more just so people can tell or assume that you’re in a good mood. Our meal did not take long to make and it was very flavorful. The yum yum sauce looks like nacho cheese but it tasted good. Maybe in the future get a higher quality yum yum sauce. But besides everything listed, everyone was nice and no one was mean but the atmosphere was difficult to tell at times and I would have liked more vegetables in my hibachi.

My husband and I will definitely be coming back and everyone reading this please keep in mind of the false food poisoning claims. Since living here every newer restaurant review on google has had an early claim of food poisoning by someone trying to either just get free stuff or is claiming it was from the last place they ate. It can take up to 24-48 hours for food poisoning to affect you depending on the contaminated food and what type of bacteria it is. With the amount of food people eat in a day it would be difficult to trace where it came from and what caused it. I am not saying the claims are wrong but what I am saying is in this area when new food restaurants open up people seem to always claim food poisoning and then you never hear or see anyone...

MUST READ!! My wife and her friend ordered lunch to go last month. Got home, received wrong food. She called and the owner told here there was nothing they would do for her!! Everyone deserves a 2cnd chance right? Lol Today i stopped and ordered lunch to go..WRONG FOOD AGAIN.. This time I drove back to let them know. The guy RUDELY told me that he knew that i ordered that particular food and wouldn't make it right!! I was in disbelief. I asked the American kid who works there for this kids name. He looked at me and said "Lee" and smirked. I seriously thought i was on a hidden camera show. Then an older couple walks in. The American kid proceeds to tell them to sit wherever they like because he knows how difficult women can be and didn't wanna deal with it!! The poor couple sat down in disbelief!! But wait! lol Then a group of about 8 people walk in. Place is almost empty with plenty of seating. The guy rudely tells them he wont serve a large party without a reservation and makes them leave! Lol I can't make this stuff up. They were pissed! In all my years I've never seen such disrespectful, horrible service in my life! Then the best part!! READY FOLKS?? As I'm leaving I SAW A COCKROACH on the floor!! Stay far away from this place folks. It will be out of...

The service definitely left more to be desired. I also disliked how their “spicy mayo” was just spicy miracle whip. I was not prepared for the sweet taste and for me, it was really off putting. Sweet spicy mayo aside, the service was the major missed mark during this visit. I felt like I was annoying them by ordering. Both the woman and the man that were working were unfriendly to me and seemed bothered that I was there. I only ordered two rolls and it wasn’t during a rush. There was only one customer in the dining area and a few delivery drivers that came and went. I was very confused but proceeded to wait patiently. I appreciated the fun music and the decor while I was waiting. I don’t think I will be back. My experience wasn’t the worst in the world, but between the mediocre sushi with sweet spicy mayo and the cold interactions with their employees, there is no reason for...
