MEGA HIBACHI — Restaurant in North Carolina

Well..I thought I'd give this place a second try. So my friend and I are back. This time we ordered different dishes in their menu. I ordered a Tempura Roll and Steak and Shrimp Hibachi entrees...as my friend ordered a 2 pcs. of Spring Rolls and a Chicken Hibachi entrees. To let you know their Hibachi entrees are served with onions, zucchini, broccoli florets, mushrooms and Hibachi rice. My friend's Spring rolls were a little too tiny, crunchy, and less filling (which is why they looked a bit tinier than a usual Spring roll). The Tempura roll I got was actually just a Cheese Crab roll dipped in tempura and fried. Not bad...just a bit tiny though. Okay, the Hibachi entrees...I was asked by the young lady how I wanted my steak cooked, I replied with "Medium".. When I got my entree...the steak was seemed "Well done".. I didn't complain, I was hungry, it was still sort of tender, the shrimps were medium sizes. But I wished they had more seasonings. The rice was a bit hard...needs to be cooked more, and a little bit in the oily side. The vegetables...the vegetables were pretty cut too small...too small that a baby can eat the size they were cut into. My friend's entree was not much to say about than she said it had too much sauce on the chicken a tad salty. She too said that the rice was a little oily...and she barely had vegetables on her plate. I do understand that we have an inflation in this country, but if you're going to charge me $14.99 for small pieces of steak and shrimp and the rest of the entree is sub par then please take note of your customer's reviews. The atmosphere was nice, place is clean, all the staff had gloves and face masks on, the food could do better..I gave them 4 stars because I did finish my food, maybe because I was really hungry or maybe I didn't want to waste the $38+ I paid for. If you have traveled all over the world and tasted many foods of many cultures, you also have to be a bit mindful where you are when you're eating their food. Everyone has their own versions of how they prepare their food...and this is Raeford, NC not Tokyo or...

Updated 12/24, food and service is still fast. When you come in the front door pick up a menu and look through it if waiting in line. If no line just head up to the counter and order from the wide variety of options. Less then 10 minutes after ordering our entire party of 8 was eating. I don't want to give any specific recommendations as everything I've here is tasty. Traffic directions below are still valid even though they expanded the shopping center. The kids like the big fish tank and the multicolor fish that's by the exit door.

Friendly service with very reasonable pricing and an enormous selection of items and choices. Walk in, grab a menu and proceed to order.. Pay and they will be brought out to the table. The food came hot and fast and was tasty. I wish I could remember the item name (ordered by item #) but it was chicken, rice and grilled veggies. The workers follow all the COVID protocols. We will be back in the area in the future and will stop again if near lunch or dinner time. If you want good food don't be afraid to stop. One big traffic hint, US 401 flows fast and cross traffic turns are prohibited in front of this area. Just drive past if outbound from Fayetteville and do a U turn in the designated area. To continue on your trip you need to do...

Very nice. We made an intentional Sunday evening trip to try the food and were pleased. We went with veggie options in a teriyaki bowl, sushi rolls and yakisoba. All were good, and the service was both prompt and pleasant. They did slip in a little tuna on our veggie rolls, but hey, we didn’t announce we were vegan, so no harm done.

The dining area is surprisingly elegant for an “order before being seated” place. Deep dark wood and tasteful upholstery on the booths and chairs. Clean and comfortable.

The only thing keeping this from a 5-Star rating is the inconvenience in getting to the restaurant and shopping center. There is no direct connection to the divided highway which fronts the property, and no signs directing guests to the access road. Okay f trip was intentional, and we made 3 passes to get there. You might see the place, but unless you live in the apartment complex behind it, you won’t stumble across anything in...
