Reviews
The food wasn’t terrible, it also really wasn’t amazing. For example, the hibachi chicken was really good, but some of the rolls were just disappointing. The service was particularly bad when we went, slow returns to the table and orders messed up in translation. These things happen though, I have been told the service is usually better.
The atmosphere of this place is odd. Some things like light switches are super dirty, the layout of seating is kind of strange and pretty close to other diners, at least where we were seated. The kitchen is also a disaster with clutter, however I have no comment on the freshness or quality of the fish/meats as I didn’t see that. Just a lot of clutter at the entrance to the kitchen. The bathrooms are also in a word, disgusting. I feel bad even saying that and refrain from being too rude for my reviews, but there was black mold in the urinals. That’s insane.
The main takeaway would I guess be that it’s *decent* food for a good price, it was fast service and I would come back, but it definitely has its flaws and maybe should take some time to clean some things up.
We paid more than we should’ve because of the “all you can eat” and only ordered once, I don’t understand the judgement. We didn’t excessively order, or not finish 95% of our food.
We won’t be ordering anymore and I will surely not be returning and we shall be sticking to the reliable service at Bang Bang Hibachi. First time and last time visiting.
In terms of experience, the timing between when you place your order to when you get it can be quite long at times. I think this is combination of the fact the sushi is made to order, and they can get quite busy, and the fact their business model is sort of betting on people not being able to eat their fill for the price you’re paying; we expected as much going into the restaurant. We learned you can order multiple rolls, appetizers, and other dishes at once. So even though you may wait some time it will be worth it to do so. Relax and enjoy your time out! I have also found going to the restaurant at slower times certainly speeds up the wait process and you’ll get your rolls much quicker. The customer service is decent, and the staff is about as friendly and professional as you would expect.
Overall I really like this place. The $25 per person deal is really unmatched. You could easily spend $50 or $60 per person trying to get the same amount of sushi you would from another establishment and the quality would be about the same. That’s also not including other appetizers and dessert! It’s easy on the pocketbook and the quality is good.
I tried my best to give this place a chance and really trusted in god. Was completely starving at the time. Here’s how it went…
Before I start to inform you of my experience, please realize I DO EAT GROCERY STORE SUSHI (which would have been a HUGE upgrade to this place). Yes, I’ve also been to highly rated sushi restaurants too. However, sushi is truly not complicated.
SERVICE: was slow, did not get what we ordered. Had to beg waiter for a water. There was one server/bartender on a Friday night dressed in sloppy t-shirt no uniform.
FOOD: Of the items we ordered, we sent back multiple dishes and did not need replacements. Items were cold that were suppose to be hot. Kani salad was frozen with the only crunch to it being ice from the imitation crab meat thawing. Kani salad had no crunchies, cucumbers or caviar as it customarily does. The actual sushi came with a SPLAT of wasabi that looked like my cat through it up. Every single roll looked like a science project and loose as ever it was falling apart. Whatever meat the rolls were listed to have was just a sliver and basically all rice. Who knows if the rice was sushi grade. Nothing seemed fresh and everything seemed like it was sitting out.
BUILDING & DECORE- This place was covered in faux florals and the couches in the waiting area where covered with fuzzy blankets. Just so weird and completely uninviting.
I tried very hard to make the meal bearable, but it was a completely miserable experience. I should have walked out on this place immediately.
AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!
Would not feed to a child or pet.
The quality of the sushi itself though is very good. We had probably a good 10 different rolls and loved them all (except the one where the server didn’t understand us and brought some weird peanut roll with no fish).
Will definitely go back, for this price and what you get, the only problem at all is the timing.
