Bang Bang Hibachi Express Old Hickory — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant since I love hibachi. However, I was quite disappointed in the food. I ordered two hibachi chicken plates and the chicken was a combination of very dry chunky pieces and shredded pieces floating in sauce underneath those. I struggled with identifying if it was all breast meat or a combo of breast and thigh meat. Either way, it was so dry I just gave up eating it. I didn't even try to eat the chicken in the sauce because it didn't look appetizing at all. It tasted old too. I suspect the chicken had been sitting in a pan and when the order came in they threw it on the grill then in some sauce. No bueno. The veggies were actually good, but were comprised mostly of large pieces of onion, with a couple of carrots and brocoli thrown in. The rice is basic, but tasted much better with the yum yum sauce. I don't think I'm willing to give this spot another chance. I'll just make my own...

Nah, this one ain’t it y’all 🥲. I’m highly disappointed after shedding $40 for our dinner. Very low quality in both food and service. The front counter chick is unfriendly and definitely doesn’t want to be there; the hibachi chicken I received gave me over cooked crockpot vibes. Along with the meal we ordered a few sauces to which is an additional cost btw. Idk if it’s just my buds, but there was a very artificial taste from the Teriyaki sauce. It seemed to be dumped on everything. Ordered a side of noodles with the entree, and when I popped the top open to my surprise it was phuckin spaghetti lol. Oh, and more of that disgusting sauce. I won’t be back, but maybe your experience will be better than ours....

My husband and I have eaten takeout from here twice and have had great experiences both times. The prices are reasonable, staff has been friendly both times, and they were very willing and respectful working around my food allergies. I’ve gotten chicken and steak hibachi, and my husband has gotten sushi. Yummy, with good portions. The restaurant isn’t much of a dine-in place, as there are just a few tables, but it is now on our list for quick takeout that won’t break the bank! They also don’t ask for tips when running your credit card, unlike most restaurants these days, which is really kind...
