Hibachi Japanese Steakhouse — Restaurant in Rancho Mirage

Took my mother her 5 yrs ago pre-covid and tried it out again recently. Now giving them the covid benefit of the doubt my review follows.

Price was high but what I think is normal for the dinner show experience and the chef was nice. BUT, I recomend that if you are choosing between New York steak and Filet minion, go with the latter. TRUST ME! not only the softer meat the main perk is the latter option gives you more meat. In my experience me and my other guest had just bunch of chewy fat on the steak that was diced up with the meat that we didn't eat.( I mean to each their own I wish I would have known tbh).

Umm the chef was a little dull in terms of entertainment but agian I don't hold that against him or anyone in particular. We where sharing the table and idk if covid effects how much they can do or if the table was not interactive enough it just felt dull especially when you go having a certain expectation. Felt like all the food could have used a blessing of salt. Fried rice was insanely buttery since other group insisted on the fried rice being drowned in butter( should have spoke up it was not ideal)

Oh and half the menu is sushi and there was no sushi guy. That was supper weird tbh.

All around nice experience but do wish to try against in the future possibly when things starts to go back to some...

My kids told me how wonderful this place was soooo for my biryhday we went. Started out nice seated quickly got drink orders fast and took order. The little ones were so excited seeing all the action at the other tables they couldnt wait, unfortunately when our chef arrived he was very dull asked if there was a birthday at the table we told him yes he said OK He attempted to place oil on the grill and light it on fire and it wouldn't light on fire and he just laughed then he made it a Volcano out of an onion cooked our food and said thank you and walked away no performance with utensils or nothing the kids were extremely disappointed, They were waiting for him to throw shrimp play music with his utensils and do lots of fire pic tricks toss eggs in their hats he did nothing he just cooked . my 9 year old who has been multiple times said he never wants to return he wants to go to the other place I wasn't terribly disappointed about not being sang Happy Birthday like every other table had but my children were very disappointed we will not be returning we will have to hit koby's and...

I recently visited Hibachi Japanese Steakhouse with my family, and while the staff was very friendly and accommodating, our experience was disappointing due to several significant issues.

I ordered steak and chicken, explicitly mentioning that I am allergic to seafood. The staff assured me that my food would be prepared separately in the kitchen to avoid cross-contamination. However, when my plate arrived, it had shrimp and steak instead of chicken. At first, I didn’t notice because the shrimp resembled chicken, but once I realized, I was extremely concerned about my allergy.

They corrected the mistake, but when my order came back, I was served only four small pieces of chicken. On top of that, the food was cold. For a restaurant where I spent over $300, this was unacceptable. I’ve been to many hibachi-style restaurants and have never had such a poor experience.

Overall, despite the kind staff, the errors, lack of attention to detail, and cold food left me very dissatisfied. I expected much better, especially given the price. Unfortunately, I won’t...
