  • ★★★★½ Hibachi Steak & Shrimp Onion Soup Visited Jan 20, 2020

    Good Food, Great Prices - Sushi & Hibachi

    I was passing thru Big Spring and happened to see this place on Google Maps. I decided to give it a try since it was right on the way thru town.

    When I entered the restaurant, the insides were nice, it looked modern with TV's and digital menu screens. I placed my order at the counter, asking for a Hibachi combo that just had Steak and Shrimp, no chicken, and was rang up promptly. I expected there might be an issue since I didn't see that on the menu, but it wasn't. I added an onion soup to the order which was only $1.50. Many items on the menu, as far as egg rolls and soups were affordably priced at $1 or $1.50.

    After just a few minutes the food was brought out to the table. Everything was hot, portions were large, and all the vegetables had good flavor. There was a small utensil area that had several kinds of sauce, including a cayenne sauce, bowls of ginger sauce at the register, and I asked for a container of Teriyaki which they promptly ladled from the kitchen and brought up front to me.

    Criticisms, I wont say anything was bad, but a few thing could have been improved on. My Hibachi steak was a bit dry, it was smaller pieces. The shrimp were good, but there were only 4 of them on my plate. I noticed in the advertisement the combo appeared to have at least 8 and I had a combo with no chicken, yet still only 4 shrimp. The service at the register was good, but one employee was totally silent, and the chopsticks I got were splintering, so I opted to use a fork and spoon which I rarely do at an Asian restaurant. But for the price I wasn't going to complain about a few shrimp or chopsticks.

    Overall, the experience was a good one. I saw other tables with sushi that looked excellent. My food was fresh, hot and tasted great. Prices were fair, service was good, location was good. I only mention the minor things because it would potentially bring this place up close to a 5 star. The quality of food for the price is really what this place brings.

    I would definitely stop here again when passing thru. I was happily surprised by the wide selection and quality.
