Urban Hibachi is a surprisingly great restaurant, given its location and simple exterior. The appearance inside is nice, nothing special, but appealing and clean. The food is great though, and the service is excellent.
I got a steak teriyaki bento box at dinner for about $12. The bento box comes with 4 pieces of a California roll, ginger salad, miso soup, steamed white rice, an egg roll, and 4 small dumplings. It is an excellent amount of food, especially for the price. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Both servers working that evening were having a good time singing and dancing to some cheesy 90s techno/party music.
The atmosphere was nice, and laid back. The place wasn’t crowded either. On a Saturday night around 6-7pm, there were only a few tables taken. Both the atmosphere and price were a welcome change from similar restaurants in the area, like Seito Sushi, which I feel you’re paying more for a “high class” restaurant than anything else.
- Price: $10 – $15
I’ve had similar successes with Urban Hibachi during lunch, with the exception that they’re inevitably packed. I’ve always been able too find a table with friend around noon, but there’s rarely more than three tables open then.
I agree with you that the food is good, well priced, and comes with good service — which means the wait staff is constantly in motion.
