"Tried for the first time for a late dinner. They have limited menu, but it has the most popular Hibachi dishes you would expect. The lady running the front of the house was very welcoming even though we came in an hour before closing. It's table service, not a cook in front of you place. Everything we had from the lobster rangoons to the hibachi meals seemed very fresh and came out hot. We enjoyed our meal and will be back."

"If you like Japanese food, you won't be disappointed. It's a quiet little spot in the middle of town to enjoy some authentic Japanese cuisine. There's a sign out front that says "Under new management." I can't speak on how it was before, but I can tell you this place is a little hidden gem now. The food is melt in your mouth delicious, and the waiter is very professional and attentive. A+"

"Must-Try Spot Alert! We stopped by Yummy Japan Hibachi Kitchen and let me tell you, it was fantastic! The portions are generous and absolutely worth every penny. We dined in and immediately felt so welcomed, the vibe is warm, cozy, and they make you feel right at home. Our server was amazing, he was so attentive and was bringing things out before we even had to ask! Hands down service was top-tier. And the food? Delicious! Everything came out hot and fast, and every bite hit the spot. We’re from Lexington but we genuinely enjoyed the entire experience and are already planning our next visit. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out!"
