"Older restaurant with limited parking. Restaurant is clean and in good order, as are the restrooms. Wide selection of entrees at reasonable prices. Wait staff was attentive and polite. This is one of those hidden gems of small family Mexican restaurants that put the high priced chains to shame. Very highly recommend."

"Check?your?order? I did a mobile order once, picked it up, drive home, literally every burger was wrong and I have a food allergy so I had to drive back to exchange it. They weren't polite and I can tell they thought I was in the wrong. Another time I did a drive thru order and I was charged for a double and received a single, it wasn't worth driving back. Burgers are ok I guess, just not the quality of ingredients I would usually expect from. Wendy's (wilted lettuce, mushy tomatoes)."

"When viewing the website, this place seems like it would be great. The website was useful, looks good and you can order online. I actually found this spot on UberEats and when I glanced at the menu, it reminded me of Fast Furious Japanese Grill (which I love). As I was placing my order I noticed a bunch of Chinese dishes as well and it made me a little uneasy as I was expecting Japanese only from the name. Expanded menus sometimes means a bunch of mediocre items instead of a few great dishes. However, based on the name, I felt I ordered correctly. In any case, I was impressed with the prices, there are a ton of great deals on the menu. I ordered the large hibachi with chicken and steak, also coming with white rice and veggies for $12.95. I saw they had nigiri as well and found the low prices a little suspicious, so I decided to just try one- the salmon for $3.50. The hibachi was one of the more expensive ones as it was a large size and a combo, so it 's a really good deal. The portion was huge, the container of rice was really heavy, overall the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you are getting. Unfortunately, this was not the quality or flavor I have experienced at Fast Furious, this was extremely mediocre. That 's okay if that 's what you are expecting, I did not have any prior experience with this chain and gave them too much credit off the bat. That 's not their fault and if I went in person, instead of ordering delivery, I might have been blown away with great customer service. However, I can only review the food and value. The hibachi container is poorly made and was leaking all over the inside of the bag, a huge pain to deal with while at work. The steak and chicken were both tough and lacked any real flavor, despite being covered in sauce. I only had 8 pieces of steak and a million pieces of chicken. The veggies were seriously undercooked, except for the zucchini, that wasn 't too bad. The rice actually tasted old, which is baffling as this was only an hour after they opened. The sushi was completely awful and it was hot! Despite having several containers between the hibachi and the sushi, this most likely was caused by the poorly insulated containers being in the same bag. However, this wasn 't lukewarm, it was HOT to the point where it was leaving residue from slowly liquifying in the container, I am very doubtful it was kept at the correct temperature prior to being packaged. The cut looked terrible, and the taste and shriveled texture was way off, so I spit it out because I didn 't want to get sick. Was I apprehensive ordering sushi for $3.50? Yes! So I take responsibility for that, but not only is sushi on the menu, so is poke. With this quality of fish, that 's really concerning. I did not enjoy my meal and feel this was the definition of 'Meh, I 've had better. ' Since the menu is so large, you may have better luck, but manage your expectations accordingly. You can get a lot of food for cheap, but if you plan to venture here, go in person so you can choose what to order after looking at it, and avoid any container fiascos."
