"Coming to Mei Hibachi is so fun and relaxing. I came here with my friend and we had the best time ever! The service was immaculate and food was just as spectacular. Mei hibachi is kids friendly and even has trainer chopsticks as well as baby chairs. Staffs are very friendly and makes Mei Hibachi such a comforting place to stay at whether you’re on the go or just chilling with friends and family. I had the steak hibachi and my friend had the pad thai where she gave me some of hers and both were so good. The hibachi was so tender and flavorful and the pad thai was cooked to perfection. Be sure to come visit, it’s a cozy & friend environment to hang in!"
