Koi Hibachi Express

Ordered hibachi chicken dinner with soup and salad. They pack in enough chicken, veggies, and rice for 2 people. Very delicious!

I’ve been looking for sushi like this that i didn’t have to drive far for since i moved cities. I got the yummy roll just to play it safe and it was AMAZING. the service was AMAZING, my food was still hot when i got it even though i was running a bit late. what a wonderful addition to Hot Springs. I will be eating here again!

If you love Hibatchi food to-go but miss getting the full experience with the soup and salad (and shrimp appetizer with the dinner) then go here! Finally a hibachi take-out restaurant with the delicious ginger dressing (or ranch if you’re that guy) and the clear broth with mushrooms (house soup) or miso soup (it comes with that one but I switched for the house). For just opening the food was really impressive taste-wise. It is only take-out but you can eat inside so that’s a nice option. Just a heads up, it was meant for take-out so If you are expecting a Hibatchi atmosphere or a cozy dine-in ambiance, don’t. But if you don’t mind chillin in an old booth watching cars go by and chowing down on the food while it’s hot and fresh, it’s fine. This place is new and has the possibility to grow as decor and atmosphere goes. As far as the food, I highly recommend the AVOCADO BOMB! Like the name, it was bomb and could be a meal in itself. Get some steamed rice and put those bad boys on top and voila! A nice lunch. Also, I loved the house soup. It has a ton of flavor and spice and isn’t just a plain broth that’s over peppery like you find at some places. I also really enjoyed the ginger dressing on the crunchy iceberg salad and even as a dipper with the Shumai dumplings, which are also a delicious bite-sized snack you don’t see around here. The yakisoba with steak was really good, steak was a little on the chewy side but was better than some of the trucks around here and had good flavor. The Rangoon had a really gooey filling with super crispy edges- I wish it came with a sweet n sour dipping sauce instead of packets of duck sauce but the duck sauce was actually really good on it (I’m just a dipper fan). Sushi was alright, really big bites so if you eat it in two bites the seaweed is a little hard to tear so I attempted to eat them in one bite- not the cutest look so be prepared, but the flavor was exactly what I expected except the spicy crab wasn’t really spicy (maybe they have sriracha packets?) The fried rice was really moist so that’s a plus if you are getting hibachi- only down side to that is they charge $3.95 to make the steamed rice fried when you order hibachi. That being said, the prices are a little on the high side but I’d go here over the closest food truck this side of town, especially for the awesome appetizers and the nice extras you get with the Hibatchi. Give ‘em a try, it’s decent for take out and I appreciated the options.
