Japan Express: Reviews & Ratings
I don't know Durham that well so I was looking for a place to have lunch before a visit to the hospital. The shopping center was close by and had this restaurant and a couple of others including Jersey Mike's. I chose this place over Jersey Mike's because I wanted something a little different than a sandwich. Their hibachi lunch specials included a drink for less than $10 I believe, for chicken and beef options. Of course my selection was shrimp so it was a little bit more and it did not include the drink, but that was OK. I love the fact that you serve yourself on the sauces, and that they didn't take very long to cook the food. I also like the fact that I could swap out the onions for extra broccoli at no additional cost. The people were very nice and I had an encounter that I didn't expect so it made the food that much better. This place may be my go to the next time I visit the area.
Always great tasting! Quick and high quality! When you're looking for hibachi, but don't want to spend 2+hrs at a restaurant, this is your place to go.
This place is truly the best! Definitely going to be my new favorite hibachi place ! Super fast too! The sushi is very good and the steak and shrimp hibachi is a must try ! Make sure to get the white sauce with it!
