Koumi Express

i feel like im here all the time, i love this place, who knew something so simlpe can be soo goood, my favorite place in monroe!!!

Great good! Very fast and consistent!

I eat here all the time. The food is consistently fresh and great tasting.
The service is great too. If you like terriyaki chicken, you will want to try it at this restaurant. Prices are reasonable and the drive through service is fast.

I love this place food and service are always good. No MSG unlike most similar places. Best deal for hibachi food $

Food was tasty, which kept the stars on the review. Water tasted funny and a hand full of flies buzzing around. These two factors removed this from having 5 stars.
Hibachi chicken and spring rolls were on point. You will not be dissatisfied with the food taste for the price.
Plenty of seating and pleasant atmosphere.

Always a good place for Japanese. The sweet tea is great, the food is always consistently good. The sushi is great as well. We always get our food to go, so don’t know about the service inside, but they are quick and efficient.
A great place and good portions.

I enjoy eating here. The food is constant and the service is fast and friendly! Pricing isn’t too bad. They give you a lot to eat.

You cant get anything better! this is the go to place for Japanese food, always a meal to have on Fridays nights to relax from the work week. great food and friendly staff. You have to go and grab a plate of the hibachi chicken and shrimp with the brown ginger sauce, you will die and go to heaven after tasting such glorious food!

Koumi is easily one of my favorite restaurants to eat at. Their service is excellent, sanitation is always above a 95%, and the food is consistantly on point every time. Koumi has great quality food and you’ll get your money’s worth.

Great prices and delicious food!!! And I also got a card where your 7^th meal is free!!!
Also it’s right on hwy 74 and close to a stop light so you’re not stuck in traffic for a while.
Great place def would recommend to stop by

If you’re looking for Japanese food that has been adapted to the American palate, this is the place to go! The people are very friendly, and service is excellent. I placed my order, thinking it would take at least ten minutes, but it was out in five! On the other hand, if you’re looking for authenticity, you might need to leave the Carolinas or find a really good hole-​in-​the-​wall.
I give it three stars: It’s good for what it is.

Been coming here for ten years. Great food with fast and friendly service. Haven’t had anything I didn’t like. The grilled salmon is my favorite!

Cheap!
Delicious!
Fast!
I order here alot of lunch runs from work. I grab the hibachi chicken — It is amazing! That shrimp sauce is the best thing ever!

This was the first Japanese place in Monroe of this style (quick hibachi). We have been going here since High School, and it is consistently good.
This past time we came here after a winery day, hangry (so hungry you’re angry). We all desperately needed food, and I suggested it trying to think of something that would really hit the spot, and be quick and cheap. I got the hibachi shrimp. For $ 8 it can’t be beat. You don’t get a soup or salad, but you get plenty of rice, mushrooms, and shrimp (I opted out of the carrots).
The service is quick, and the people are nice. If you get the chance, give Koumi a try.

Hey if you guys like a Japanese quickie… this is your place located right here in monroe. Yep there is many other places all over charlotte but in monroe its just a great place.

Best fast food Japanese I’ve EVER had. Good food. Clean restaurant. Great servers. Best shrimp sauce and homemade ginger dressing!
And if you are in a hurry they serve their awesome food at a drive through too! Two thumbs up!

This is a hidden gem, I’m glad I decided to stop in. I travel between Charlotte and Wilmington on a regular basis and I’ve made a habit of grabbing dinner here. I wish they had a location in Charlotte!
The food is delicious, fast, and cheap! I tried the drive thru the other night and ordered «fast entrée #1,» grilled veggies with fried rice and steamed carrots… all for under five dollars. :]

If you’re looking for quick, tasty Japanese dishes in Monroe, this is the place. I’ve been here numerous times. It’s located in the same shopping center as the Regal Union Square 8 movie theater. Their teriyaki chicken hits the spot (under $ 6). Good amount of chicken, veggies & rice. They add on the side these steamed carrots that kick a$$. I really love the shrimp sauce too. I’m sure it’s just some combination of ketchup & mayo and maybe a few other ingredients but it is tasty and it goes really well with the dishes.
They have on the menu some express dishes which can be put together in just a few minutes. I’ve used the drive thru to order those before. Works great. Everything else, I’d go inside to get. The staff is friendly too!
