Hibachi Express — Restaurant in Roanoke

Looking for a quick and reliable bite near the 460 intersection? This local gem may look like your typical Chinese takeout tucked into a modest strip—half storage, half kitchen—but don’t let appearances fool you. The staff runs a tight, uniformed ship and consistently delivers fresh, high-quality meals with friendly, scripted service and accurate wait times.

Whether you're grabbing takeout on the go or dining in, this spot hits the mark. The sushi is surprisingly solid for a quick stop, and it’s become one of my go-to recommendations for MVP clients moving through the area.

No delivery—but for dine-in or takeout? Absolutely worth the visit.

Very disappointed. I called and asked about if sauces were included. I was told they were. We ordered two apps and two entrees. No sauces. The scallops are pre breaded frozen Mrs. Paul's type. Was expecting seared pan fried. Not that deep fried junk. The spring rolls were the size of my index finger. Both our steak and shrimp and filet and shrimp were overcooked/charred. There were no veggies nor flavor in the fried rice. Just brown rice. The miso soup uggh may just have been me but not what I was expecting. Had chunks of tofu- blech!! We tried it. Won't...
