We loved Tony, he was amazing!!
I was truly looking forward to this experience after hearing family members rave about it in NJ. Sorry to say that it was not what was described to me or that I had seen in other videos and reviews. First in booking I was told to choose a chef out of 3 that was sent to me, we did not get that chef and what seems to have been an amateur who came from Raleigh NC to Virginia. He was over a half hour late bcz of traffic and that he didn’t realize the over 4 hr drive time I take it. He spoke very little english, did not know how to do any special entertainment on the grill or with the fire not even with the onion volcano that I’ve seen all hibachi chefs do along with making shapes or hearts with the rice on the grill. He had my grandson play with cooking the food on the grill. The only thing he wanted to do was use the Sake water gun in which my husband eventually took from him and put in the house until he left bcz we kept telling him No, not to use it as he already soaked my daughter’s father in law shirt twice in which this was also his birthday, he had a terrible aim all in their eyes, he was shooting sake all in my husband’s face all in his glasses, no where near any of their mouths that he told them to open and we had to keep telling him No bcz that’s all he seemed to want to do until my husband took it from him. It was 11 of us and the wait time it took for us to get our food one item at a time while each waited for their certain menu item while already being hungry was also a disappointment, he really could have used some help. I’ve heard a family member tell me how much food we would have leftover to make sure we had containers bcz they give so much food was also not my experience and I paid for extra when submitting our orders. I’ve had Hibachi many times and sorry to say this was not as good or seasoned as I’ve ever had before. I had to tell him to put more soy sauce in it to where we all just made mini cups to use by our plates. It was Father’s Day and I feel like we were sent an amateur due to over bookings although we booked well enough in Advance where the calendar and times were of many, to choose one of the other chefs that had availability and open spots on the calendar when I booked it. He was not even on the list when I booked, our chef I was told was in the DMV listing (DC, MD and VA) not NC. I seriously can’t say if I would use this business again bcz I was not really happy about anything for the money, if at least the food would have been good I could have overlooked the entertainment and chef only able to speak a little english, but this wasn’t my experience. I really didn’t feel like he deserved the full gratuity that we had to give.
Jay was on time and on target. He was a great chef and delivered on the food and entertainment! Everybody had a great time - 18 guests!
Our chef, Bing, was great! He made the experience a wonderful birthday celebration for my wife. The food was terrific too. A fun and entertaining experience.
awesome Hibachi has the right name. the entire experience was nothing short of awesome. ari our coordinate and Tim our chef were the best. will definitely make another booking with them.
The entertainment was lacking. We expected the chef to interact with the audience. They started late because they did not have enough propane and had to go to the store to get more. The food was good, which gave this experience three stars.
We were very disappointed with our experience. Our chef never introduced himself, didn’t speak any English, and seemed disengaged throughout the meal. Because of the language barrier, there was almost no interaction with our group, which is a big part of what we were looking forward to. Even the usual hibachi-style elements, like the onion “choo‑choo train,” didn’t work. The food was also inconsistent. The meat was overcooked and dry, though the vegetables and rice were good. The “salad” was just iceberg lettuce with dressing, which felt underwhelming. After seeing videos of other chefs who were fun and interactive, this was a letdown. I will likely try a different service next time.
kind and friendly! Made sure everyone felt included and well fed! Lots of sake!
The food was great, our chef was so fun and everyone had a fantastic time!!! highly recommend for a birthday party or just a fun time!
We had a great experience for my 9 year olds birthday party!
Amazing experience with Awesome Hibachi! Chef Awesome handled our party of 44 like a boss! Food was delicious and everyone had a great time! Highly recommend!
Awesome hibachi has the correct name. The whole experience was nothing less than awesome. Ari our coordinator and Tim our chef were the best. Will definitely have another booking with them.
I just had a birthday celebration for my husband and we had about 30 people including kids. I was told that I was getting two chefs because of the size of my party, but what I ended up getting was one chef and a helper. What ended up happening was that many of us were done eating while others were waiting to still eat. Plus I do feel that the chef could have been more entertaining.
Paul brought the vibes!! He matched the energy and served us the best backyard hibachi!!! Lots of laughs and saki!!!
paul was so awesome! so much fun and a great family event
