Yakiko Hibachi Grill - Charlotte

Unfortunately, the rice was undercooked and had a texture that suggested it had been steamed, lightly fried, and doused in soy sauce. I really cannot enjoy undercooked rice, and it's quite tricky to re-steam it. I ended up having to microwave it to cook it further. As you can see in the picture, I like to prepare my food before eating, so I chopped up the meat and veggies, which were roughly cut but that's okay. The sweet carrots tasted more like regular canned carrots with some sugar added to them, but the other vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly. I prefer hibachi without sauce to fully appreciate the flavors, but because of some shortcomings with this dish, I ended up pouring the sauce over most of it. The sauce itself was delicious—a garlicky, creamy goodness that really enhances the meal. I did reach out to the restaurant and was told that it was a fresh batch of fried rice, and they even offered to provide me with more uncooked rice. The special sauce kind of saved the experience for me. So, I’m not ready to write them off just yet.

Absolutely fantastic! I called ahead to place a pickup order, which was incredibly convenient. The woman on the phone advised me to arrive in 20 minutes, and when I got there, the aroma was heavenly. The girl at the counter was really friendly, and I was in and out in under a minute with my food. There's even a pickup window outside, so you don't have to go inside at all. I ordered the hibachi filet mignon with all the vegetables, and everything tasted amazing. The veggies were fresh, the filet was tender, and the rice was perfect. I wish I had ordered more! I will definitely return to try other dishes.

I placed an order online and the receipt clearly shows that I requested chicken, broccoli, onions, zucchini, and fried rice. Instead, I received shrimp with white rice, which wasn't what I ordered. When I arrived at the restaurant, I waited for five minutes while the staff member, who was wearing AirPods, glanced at me twice without acknowledging my presence. It wasn't until I had to say "EXCUSE ME" that anyone finally responded. This experience was truly disappointing and unacceptable.

Order chicken shrimp combo with white rice/noodles broccoli!! Very good! The fulfilled the order rather quickly after ordering it online! Came highly recommended from my boss! On her treat it was very good!

The Food is good but the portion sizes are REALLY SMALL. Pictured is a combination plate . Steak and shrimp with noodles and this is how much food I was given. Got the price it?s just not worth it. This is my 3rd and last time giving them a chance. Each time same problem.
