Hibachi of Springfield

I used to come to the Springfield Hibachi when I used to live in DelCo. I would come here every 3 – 4 weeks with my fiancé and we would typically have the same nice waitress Brittney who was very attentive and always took great care of us. Since moving to ChesCo, this location was no longer close, nor convenient. After not coming here for nearly a year, we happened to be nearby one day and decided to stop in for lunch on Saturday. We walked in and as soon the door closed, I smelled something really weird that smelled like urine. I ignored it because we were both very hungry and I figured we’d be downstairs having sushi so maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. When we went downstairs, the stench became unbearable. It literally smelled like urine and raw sewage. We asked if Brittney was around, and found out she no longer worked there. Not that this is the only waitress that could serve us, but… I was literally starting to feel nauseous from the awful stench. I have a strong cast iron stomach and can generally eat anything, but this was downright nasty and unappetizing to say the least. We walked out immediately because I would have vomited if I had to stay and eat there. Needless to say, we will never return. This place has gone downhill real fast. Never again.

Didn’t dine here in a while, as the food here was never great. But I and my husband both are fan of the «hibachian dexterity», so the love of the art brought us in tonight.
This place perhaps is running on loss, as the hibachi artists aren’t as skilled as they were before and did not even gave us a «show». They just cooked the meat (which was terribly over fried) with below average teriyaki sauce.
I am keeping the 2^nd star for the sake of older, happier times…

This place is ghetto beyond compare! The waitress had a very nasty attitude, assumed we couldn’t read and brought us the wrong order. Will never go here again!

Wasnt aweful, wasnt good either. Entertaining for kids. Everything is cooked with Soy sauce! Yuk! No other taste, lots of salt. Slow wait service for refills, dont explain anything if your visiting for the first time. Quality meats is medeocre, salad is gross and if you are allergic to seafood they dont care. The «cooks» use same utensiles for all meats, chicken and seafood. If you are a foodie, save your money.

First, I must say, people are correct in that there is a putrid smell coming from the carpets. I have been going here for many years. Every time, I have left disappointed.
Tonight, I went with a group of nine and seven of us chose to do the all you can eat sushi. We were given 2 cards to record our orders on and after 30 – 45 minutes 2 small trays emerged with no more than 6 rolls on each; far less than we had indicated for the order. That’s less than 2 per person. What’s worse is that the roles we were served were nowhere near what was ordered. Most had cream cheese in them (no one ordered anything with cream cheese) and one was just avocado rolled in rice (no one ordered this). We split this mess up among us and asked for another card to put in for more. This time they were a little better with getting us our order in about 20 minutes. Once again, nothing on the plate matched what was ordered. I thought that perhaps they were getting out order mixed up with others, however, by the time this second order went in there was no one else in the restaurant. The sushi chefs, the waiters, and the owners clearly do not care for what quality they serve and we will take this $ 350 of business elsewhere next time.

The place is so smelly, the sushi are bad quality. I went there because it was close to my hotel but I can say that it is one the wore sushis I ever had. I make better sushis at home…

What kind of hibachi place doesn’t provide you with soup with your salad. They didn’t even have yum yum sauce. Never coming back!

Last night we had the all you can eat sushi and the food was pretty good, no complaints there. Our waiter was nice, but he was the only waiter for the entire dining room and the place was packed. While he did as much as he could… he needed more help. So get him some help and I’ll add some more stars.

This place is seriously fantastic. The service is great and it’s the perfect lunch or dinner place. They cook everything to how you want it and it’s nice to be able to sit with other people if you’re not with your family or friends who fill up the table. I could eat here everyday. the place is also quite beautiful; they have a fish tank and the dim lighting in the front is a nice touch. Highly recommend this place.

This chef who cooked at the table was very good. But the restaurant itself needed to be vacuumed and cleaned. The chef’s coat was dirty. The overall restaurant experience reaked of sadness and neglect.

This is a good yummy place. The sushi is usually a hit but the past few times I went it was a miss. It just wasn’t fresh enough. But other than that their food is so good and I usually don’t mind sitting at a table with people I don’t know. It’s actually quite fun.

I love this place for kids and families. When my kids were younger this was the place to go for a treat. Catching the shrimp, watching the fire and smoke come out of the onion volcano, even the silly jokes, it was all awesome. The chefs have to be good chefs and good performers. I never had a bad meal here. Absolutely never. I never had a bad experience here as well. But as your kids grow up and move out, the place loses its luster. Not because of anything other than the fact that kids make this place. Their reactions are priceless. For my wife and I we go, we are satisfied, we always do the early bird, it’s the most economical way to go, but if you want to be Dad of the year or Mom of the decade, or Uncle of the century, take some young ones to this place, do the grill, and enjoy a fresh, well prepared meal and the experiences that good showmanship will provide. Enjoy.

I wish I had good things to say about this restaurant I took my girlfriend to. We repeatedly asked for refills on our beverages, and the waitress ignored us. I offered the solution to bring a pitcher of diet coke to the table, and she didn’t even get it. The few times she did refill our drinks, the soda was flat. The food was strictly average. I had ordered the same thing at another location before (geisha platter), and it was just average. When I asked for more sauce, the tepinaki guy said no. When the bill came, I didn’t tip the waitress, and on the way out, she gave us the biggest lip service you’d ever see. Definitely not coming to this one again. I encourage you not to come either

This is my favorite Hibachi ever. I have yet to find one better, including the one in Epcot that is supposed to be amazing. This Hibachi is usually pretty busy on a weekend but you are usually seated fast, just may have to wait a few minutes for the rest of your table to fill up. For the hibachi entrees, you pick your meat and that includes salad, rice, & vegetables. The salad they give you has the most amazing dressing on it. Then, the hibachi chef guy comes out to cook. They usually give you quite a show with things like the flaming volcano, jokes, and having you catch the shrimp in your mouth. The fried rice is amazing. I usually get the chicken teryaki for the meat and it is great. All of the food here is literally mouth watering. I have also gotten sushi on other occasions which is very good, but just the hibachi meal alone is enough to leave you stuffed. It really isn’t too expensive either. The chicken entrée is $ 17 which isn’t very much when you consider all that is included. This is great restaurant and I always look forward to coming here.

Hibachi of Springfield is the typical hibachi joint. Service was good, food was good, but atmosphere dated and needs a MAJOR revamp. This is definitely not the Benihana of Las Vegas I am used to. Had to wave down (and also get up) to grab a waitress for a new drink order. Also, not so kid friendly, although our daughter had a grand time watching the flames fly during the onion volcano moment.
We had a blast with our group and enjoyed the experience, although the rest of our table seemed quite anti-​social. Folks, if you dine hibachi, prepare to converse with and meet some new people.

Oh my goodness this place is absolutely disgusting from the door literally. We never got a chance to experience the food because of the filth and grime in the entrance way and a stench that instantly turned my nose up… My finance’ and I left… hungry and disappointed! Not to mention one of the hostesses try to seat us wearing scrubs…

Holy. Sh! t. This place is an absolute dump.
My husband and I came here for my birthday is dinner because I wanted sushi and cocktails. Upon walking in we quickly discovered that this place was freaking FILTHY. There was garbage all over the floor… straw wrappers, bits of paper, dirt. My husband legit said «don’t they vacuum here??»
The restaurant was nearly empty at 7 on a Saturday and it still took several minutes for someone to greet us. When we told her we were there for sushi she just pointed us downstairs.
When we got downstairs there was no one there to greet us, so we just sat down. We waited for quite a while and no one said a damn thing to us. After a minute my husband and I decided that this place was way way wayyyyyy too grimey to eat a whole meal at. If they can’t clean their tables and vacuum their floors, I don’t want them serving me raw fish.
I can not believe that this place is a real Hibachi. It needs to be burned to the ground. Yuck!!!

They’re getting deducted a star from my previous review based on their all you can eat sushi offerings.
I am still a fan of their restaurant and will come back. But for $ 24.95, I shouldn’t have to send the waitress back because the sushi chef forgot two of my rolls, on a Sunday night when it’s not even that busy to boot. They also got one roll completely wrong, a fact that we simply decided to accept and eat anyway because they were confused enough as it was.
Plus, I’ve now eaten at enough sushi restaurants in the area to know that the quality here is maybe a notch below other places I’ve found since my last review here. Or at least it was two nights ago. I found the taste of their spicy rolls lacking compared to others I’ve had.
I love Hibachi. Because I love them, I will critique them when I think they’re lacking. Step up the game, Hibachi! Just because you’re popular in our area gives you no reason to slack.

I’ve been coming to Hibachi’s for as long as I can remember whether to celebrate a birthday, a special occasion, a date, or just for fun. The early bird special/​monday special is always the best time to go and get the most bang for your buck.
The cooks there are always extremely professional, entertaining, and occasionally funny with the pranks they pull. I can honestly say that I’ve never once had a bad meal or experience eating here. The food is so good that I don’t even mind eating next to the occasional strangers when my party isn’t big enough to fill the table. I applaud Hibachis service, food, and atmosphere. I love that what you see is what you get and you watch them prepare your food and there is no issue with what goes on behind closed doors. The kitchen is brought to me and that is worth every penny. I hope they are open for decades to come because I will continue going there from now til the end of time.

Just OK — we’ve had better and worse teppanyaki meals in the past. My husband and I were squeezed in at 5:45 (the last seating for the «early bird» prices with 8 other local-​yokels including a well behaved 5 year old.
The room was already steamin’ hot from the other teppanyaki table that had 3 kids — one of whom (maybe age 2) screamed every time a fire was lit. That sucked — because that was almost our entire meal.
Meanwhile the act is pretty typical with the onion volcano (if and when we come back our 8 year old will love it) a big pile of so-​so fried rice and OVERCOOKED steaks and shrimp. The shrimp were nearly rubbery and my «rare (I always ask for rare at a teppanyaki and it always comes out over done) steak cubes were medium to medium well.
Oh well.
It was an experience. Oh and the guy ext tome ordered a sushi meal with pale tuna and blah looking fish. No way I’ll get sushi here.
Not thrilling — but it’s an option in the land of suburban chain restaurants.
And kiddos LOVE the show.
