The Hibachi Hut

Ordered this food to go, I ordered the gumbo and jambalaya. The gumbo was pretty good I enjoyed it. The jambalaya though was bland, I was disappointed, the blackened chicken that came with it was good, however the rice tasted bland. Don’t think it was worth 14.00 bucks. I’ll probably try something else next time. The corn bread was delicious as well.

If you find yourself waiting in line longer than 10 minutes at The Chef on a Sunday morning, you’re doing it wrong.
$ 2 Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas
Very unique menu, I’ll leave a photo.
The group enjoyed their breakfast burritos the best. The French toast was very unique but very sweet. The savory pancakes were very good. The beignets were more like sopapillas but still very delicious! Will definitely be back!

The name is a little misleading, so don’t come here expecting Japanese this is a Cajun style restaurant.
With a menu like you won’t find anywhere near here. The shrimp po boy was pretty good. The food saves this place.
Don’t come here for a quick lunch. Service was okay, but kitchen is pretty slow and we beat the lunch rush. Not a fan of the round booths.

I’m from Louisiana so it’s a bit difficult to impress me. So here goes. Nice atmosphere. The waitress (Sam) was very attentive. She suggested two dishes (shrimp and grits, and chicken fried chicken) and that was what my husband and I ordered. The shrimp was swimming in butter not really my thing but they were seasoned well. The grits were stiff but very cheesy. The corn bread was yummy and so was the crawfish dip. The CFC was fried to crispy perfection and the potatoes and green beans were cooked well also. As a foodie I can appreciate the effort. But, it didn’t disappoint to the point that I won’t return. Thanks for the experience.

Five stars for the bread pudding alone! Out of this world! You should consider just having bread pudding for lunch or dinner!

This place is certainly one to come back to, after all, how many New Orleans style restaurants are there? Everything looked and smelled delicious. The jambalaya was excellent, served with cornbread (I would have loved this as a meal in itself) and a side salad. We had the wings as an appetizer, which had nice flavor, but nothing too over the top. I didn’t try any but the sandwiches looked good too so I might have to delve into one of those next time. It was pretty crowded on a Saturday night but we got right in. The service was pretty good, my only complaint is that our waitress took the wings before we had finished them :(

The food is okay but I witnessed some pretty unprofessional behavior on the part of the management towards the wait staff. Not sure I’ll go back.

Walked all around downtown Manhattan on a busy weekend for a restaurant choice. Just had a feeling and ended up here (maybe because it was one of the few with no waiting.) I tried the shrimp poboy. Score! No it wasn’t New Orleans, but it was delicious juicy shrimp on a good roll with good spicy remoulade sauce. Hubby had the spicy Cajun pasta. Score. It was creamy and spicy. The service was friendly. We were out-​of-​towners there for a game as fans for the opposing team. The other customers were friendly and welcoming.

This place is pretty good. Sat at the bar on a Wednesday night and got great service. The cajun pasta was good and the jambalaya was also delicious. They had a 5 dollar special lemonade-​alcohol drink special and that was also very good. Would definitely go back!

This place was amazing! We came in at 1:00 in the afternoon on Saturday June 6^th with a big group and were treated like royalty. We are in town for a wedding and have never been in Manhattan. The food was excellent and the service was even better! We highly recommend it! I am sorry we didn’t get the managers name but THANK YOU for a great experience.
We had a variety of foods. BBQ Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. Burgers, chicken fried chicken and steak, chicken sandwiches, Cajun food, kids had corn dogs and tots, there were salads, and great beer.

We went on a Friday night so they were a little busy. Our server seemed scatterbrained but was very nice and apologetic. We got a special appetizer of fried mushrooms served with remoulade and Fire ranch. The mushrooms took long and when they came, some were lukewarm. We didn’t complain though. I ordered the Chicken Orleans (penne with diced chicken and andouille sausage pieces, with peppers in a spicy cream sauce), with a house salad. The food came out quick, before we were done with our salads, so we let our entrees sit a little. My food was good but also lukewarm (maybe because I had to let it sit or it wasn’t hot enough in the first place), but it had good flavor. My boyfriend ordered a side of hush puppies and I tried one. It was pretty good. They had live music that night and while the band was setting up, the power in the restaurant went out. That was fun. It came back on after about 5 minutes. We were almost done with our entrees and the server realized we didn’t get any cornbread. We got it and it was nice and hot but the edges were a little over done. We got 2 pieces of Dutch Apple Pie to go and ate them the next day. They were good.

This restaurant has a nice selection of creole and seafood items on the menu. I was a bit surprised to find it in Kansas. My fiancé ordered the jambalaya and gumbo. He thought they were good. We really enjoyed the nacho appetizer.

I like to be honest about my reviews. I just came into town and was hungry. I use Unilocal to find places to eat.
I was starving which means almost anything taste great.
This place has a great atmosphere. I love the décor. The staff were nice and friendly.
I ordered their dinner special which was chicken, collard greens and jambalaya. I also ordered the artichoke dip.
Let’s start with the dip. It came out looking burnt. It didn’t taste burnt though. I really did not like it at all.
The fried chicken was fair at best. The collard greens were quite horrible.
The only thing I really liked at all was the jambalaya. I’ve had better but at least I liked it.
I am sorry for the bad review. I would not come here again.

First time visit in the new location. Really great with the reupholstered furniture from the old location. Clean and open design.
Very noisy atmosphere. Could use some sound deadening.
Staff was very attentive.
Shrimp gumbo not to good. Not like the old days. Over cooked pork and not much shrimp.
They ran out of cornbread and we ended up with it in a to go box. They gave us a free dessert due to the delay. The cornbread and the whiskey bread pudding were excellent.
Food quality and taste was generally good. Not great.
Had to rate a three for overall experience. Not sure if I would return.

Great little local Cajun joint, authentic to Manhattan, KS. Formerly in Aggieville, now more grown up and relocated to historic downtown area on Poyntz Avenue. Many of the same delicious Cajun entrees as at former location, but now better than ever! Must haves include BBQ Bacon-​wrapped grilled Shrimp, gourmet blackened burgers, red beans & rice, jambalaya, along with pasta dishes, seafood & vegetarian options.
My Hubby’s favorite: Chicken Orleans (savory pasta dish), served w/​tossed salad, and he had a Boulevard Wheat Beer as his beverage choice.
I had the Friday nite Special: Blackened Catfish filet w/​grilled lemon half, Dirty Rice, sautéed seasoned green beans, cumin-​lime coleslaw, and the very Best cornbread I’ve ever had w/​real butter! My drink of choice at «The Hut»: The NOLA Mule… consisted of Woody Creek Vodka, Ginger Beer, and a Lime served in a chilled copper mug — Love Love Love!!! I would go there for that drink alone!
Dessert is great also, but always too full after the meal, which is more than one person can typically eat!
If in Manhattan, you gotta try it!

The food is super tasty and fresh. The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is really chill.

I was visiting Manhattan when I came across this culinary gem which was all together cozy, romantic, hipster, and friendly.
The service was highly attentive and I felt as if I was being attended by all of the serving staff instead of just one person.
The pork belly appetizer was an orgasmic experience, and although the cashew fish was simply good (not extraordinary) I really think the rest of my experience made all the difference.
They have specials every day and are strategically located so that you can even take a nice little walk after your meal.
Don’t be shy and give it a try :-)

Great new location. loved the interior design. Service was great and had a good time. My birdie bomb was pretty good, but the bun got soggy fast.
Minus one star for soggy bun and no more grilled cheese on the menu. :’(
I would definitely go back! So glad it reopened.

New location is great. Food is totally up to pay with what I expect! Try the chicken Orleans (pasta) and be sure to sub a cup of gumbo for the side salad. The cornbread here is the best I’ve had!

Excited to be back in Manhattan and able to try out the new Hibachi Hut downtown.
The atmosphere is a big improvement. Loved that they used items from the old location, including newly recovered booths. Definitely a better cohesive feel compared to the Aggieville location.
While we were waiting on our food and eating appetizers, three employees were wiping down silverware at a nearby booth and clanking them into a big pan. Very noisy and a bit annoying to 1) see them do their table prep work and 2) to deal with the noise. Even though a couple of different tables would look over every time there was a another «clank», they didn’t seem to pick up that it was bothering the paying customers.
The food… just OK. The server wasn’t familiar with the ingredients and had to go back and get answers to our questions. We didn’t finish our food because it was just so-​so. The special soup, and amber beer and cheese, was luke warm and chunky. I don’t think the chunky part was a good thing. I love beer cheese soup… like from Granite City and the 94^th Aero. This was nothing close to that.
For the prices, I expected more quantity and more quality. Probably won’t be back nor would recommend to anyone… unless you want the nostalgia of going back to a re-​designed Manhattan tradition.
Finally: No Coke products. :(
