Oishi Hibachi Steakhouse - Champaign (IL)

5 /5 Justin Wilson: Top notch Japanese restaurant. The staff is always friendly and fun. The food is on par with what you would expect. They have a good variety of sushi rolls. The fried rice they cook at the table is one of my favorites.

4 /5 Karen Bretz: Plentiful food, two of us got the hibachi meal which we “customized “ since I do not eat shrimp - it comes with 2 - and I wanted noodles and not rice (an up charge of $2.95) and m friend had no mushrooms as he is allergic. The amount of veg was vastly different, shame since it’s one of the best parts as far as I am concerned and mine were not very plentiful. The food was not very hot either, probably better to get the “grill in front of you” option if you want it hot. The service was sketchy. The soup and salad came fast, the food not long after. Asked for chopsticks which we waited quite a while for, and we never saw another staff member until we stopped a waiter passing by and asked for a take out box and the check.

5 /5 Halen Rudolph: A wonderful meal with lots of options to choose from. Our waiter was nothing short of amazing and checked in with us throughout our meal to make sure we enjoyed everything. We left very happy and more importantly, FULL of great food.

2 /5 Lachesis: For dishes that are so simple (just heating food over the grill), it takes way too long to be served. Maybe because we look young and they want to prioritize families? It took us 30 minutes to receive food. Despite us sitting and ordering first, before other tables. Servers standing around and just watching their own Hibachi performances. We only received our food after staring at the staff. One chef squatting in the kitchen playing on his phone. Though theres a reason why most dont eat at hibachi places. Usually a cash-grab for a mediocre meal Soup that comes with the combo -- mushrooms are paper thin (not even kidding...) in salty water. House salad is somehow also watery. Veggies are tiny or burnt. Even steak bits come out over cooked. The sad mayo-sauce used for sushi is served with your platter. It sort of helps out, but its also mysteriously watery. I suppose their budget is tight.
