Hibachi 101 — Restaurant in Raleigh

The good: Food was freshly prepared in 10 minutes Ginger sauce and white sauce tasted good. Their sanitation score is a 97%

The bad: The Chicken and Shrimp Soba is falsely advertised in the photo on the menu, and when it is presented by the person taking your order. The young lady who helped me was nice. However, she informed me that the picture I inquired about on the menu was their ‘Chicken and Shrimp Soba’. I trusted her knowledge even though the noodles in the picture definitely appeared to be Singapore rice noodles. Nonetheless, I said I would try something new so I paid $9.95 plus tax for this meal which was supposed to include white meat chicken, shrimp, cabbage, lettuce, and carrots. It took 10 minutes for the food to come out which isn’t bad at all. The bad arrived when I opened my container to see ramen noodles. Not authentic ramen noodles, but they looked identical to the ramen noodles you buy from the Maruchan or Top Ramen Brand. So we went from Singapore rice noodles, to falsely advertised YAKISOBA, to two packages of ramen noodles covered with about 8 small chunks of chicken, 8 pieces of shrimp, ONE extremely skinny stalk of celery that was 2-3 inches long, two minuscule pieces of cabbage, and 6 little pieces of shredded carrots..... I am appalled that I was charged $10 for a meal that holds a $4 value. My first time experience definitely does not encourage me...

Really disappointed. Like, did you literally give me the leftovers from the night? I paid 11.50 for Chicken Hibachi. This is not Chicken, and this is not Hibachi. Nor is it 101. The owner literally gave me two tiny ice cream scoops of rice and half a fill of vegetables. Could have at least filled my container up for 11.50. The sauce in the side container tastes like watered down Thousand Island dressing. I bet the owner my money back that it is. I'm half Asian so I at least know what basic Asian should taste like, and this didn't even make the cut. Next time I will literally cook at home and do a better job. If I had read the review about the fly in the food prior to ordering here, I would have said a hard no. A hard no will be my next response to this business, which is so sad because the people working there seem so hospitable. If you're going to run a business, please offer something of value. Otherwise don't bother. Please do not open an Asian restaurant if you cannot actually cook quality Asian cuisine... Asians deserve better. Americans deserve better. Asian Americans deserve better. Asian. Cuisine. Lovers. Deserve. Better. I'm heading back to Giant China across the walkway! At least they give you an actual sauce packet. The only reason this sounds funny, is because this place is a...

Will not return to this restaurant, after going there for years. I order the same thing every time I go, which is the steak hibachi. I am not sure what changed over the course of a couple of years, but they have consistently whittled away at the steak to the point where it’s a step above being ground beef.

When I order steak, I’m expecting chunks of meat— That is how they used to serve. Now, even when ordering extra meat, they scam you out of it by chopping the meat so fine that you’d be better off putting it in a taco shell rather than trying to eat it. It’s pointless to get sauce with it because the pieces of meat just get lost in the sauce cups.

When I asked The main lady that works the cash register to please have my steak in chunks, because they chop it too small, she laughed.when I received my meal, guess what? The steak was still chopped finely like ground beef.

They have lost a faithful customer, over there practices of trying to save money by skimping...
