Hibachi & Company Shines

While it’s not exactly an original concept, Hibachi & Company is a welcome addition to the Fuquay-Varina fast-casual culinary landscape. The restaurant features hibachi- and teriyaki-style entrées served with vegetables, sweet carrots, Japanese fried rice and a white sauce on the side.

Whether you choose vegetarian or filet mignon, chicken or shrimp, you’ll get a tasty, abundant portion that’s cooked to order and sure to arrive at your table fast. It's also served on real plates and with metal utensils instead of Styrofoam and plastic.

If you’re looking for a great lunch deal, $5 specials are offered Monday through Friday.  Want hibachi steak? It’s available Tuesdays and Thursdays. Teriyaki shrimp? Friday is your lucky day. Five bucks for shrimp? Impressive!

A “double the meat” option works well for super hungry customers or those who wish to share an entrée. Side items include seaweed or house salad, soba noodles and more. An added bonus: Pepsi products are on tap.

Other fast-casual restaurants could learn a lot from newcomer Hibachi & Company. Provide patrons quality food at a fair price, and you’re sure to cook up a recipe for success. Be advised: Hibachi & Company is closed on Sunday.
