Bay Hibachi Express

A hidden gem on Vallejo's waterfront. Great, attentive service from the moment we walked in until we left. Nice waterfront view and delicious food. While the place is small, there is plenty of outdoor seating available. The chicken potstickers and salmon hibachi plates were very flavorful. The lemon drops were good as well. I would definitely come back to try other options.

First/last time at this place. Looked promising from the outside. Ordered food and drinks at the bar. Outdoor seating on the dock is pleasant-ish. When the boats and ferry go by the thing really gets moving. Ordered a chicken (grilled?) hibachi bento box w plain rice. And an order of fish and chips a beer and a Mai tai. Drinks fine. After 15 min or so outside the server comes to say they're out of fish and chips. Substituted a "steak" bento box as it's the same price $20 vs $19.99. I'm going to assume that this place is still in business for the bar and the view of the lovely San Pablo bay. $60 for two meager bentos and a beer and cocktail. Nah. Judging by the bentos I'm going assume the fish and chips are either the best thing (sold out) or about as appetizing as the sad bento.

We stumbled upon this hidden gem, had a few drinks and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset on the water overseeing the beautiful San Pablo Bay!

We were in the area and found this hidden gem. It's a little restaurant on the water. As soon as we walked in we were acknowledged. The tables sit right on the glass and you're seeing the water. There is a back section you walk on a little bridge and there's an outdoor seating area. The waiter took our order. The prices were okay. We got our food fast. It was extremely relaxing eating on the water. The food was good it was okay. The view has been by best by far. Overall good experience.

Updating this Review: If you haven't read the original review. I ordered a steak plate and was very unhappy with the food. The steak and the shrimp both lacked seasoning and cooking technique. FLAVORLESS AND NOT SEARED. The fried rice is not only the cheapest quality of rice it's also not seasoned and was not fried well. Mind you authentic Japanese restaurants will use high quality rice like calrose or sushi rice in general. Places like Benihana charge a decent price because they are using good quality ingredients and the chefs are trained to execute these dishes. To call this plate Hibachi is a stretch. Moving on to customer service.Customer service is trash. This is the kind of place that will treat certain customers one way and certain ones another. I complained on my dish and Romeo the owner apologized for the dish and said he would remake it. Out of all that I waited on top of being there over an hour for food mind you I had my kid with me and he was very hungry. Romeo forgot that I was waiting for my order and then told me I'm not getting it remade and he acted very offended and different from when I initially made the complaint. I know he forgot. Final thoughtsThis place is a joke. Took 6 days to reply to one of their worst reviews. When they finally reply they try and gaslight me and saying it was a miscommunication? Saying that Romeo said he wasn't going to remake it because what I said obviously isn't true? Tell me this what restaurant tells this to a customer not happy with their food? What real respectable restaurant doesn't remake food that that their customer did not like the plate? It took a while to write this response as I was really annoyed about this but let me make this very clear. it's because there was NO MISCOMMUNICATION. How dare you try and lie a narrative of miscommunication. I spoke very clearly to Romeo and understood him very well in him remaking the plate. It's plain and simple, you guys messed on the food and instead of owning up you try and gaslight me. Just remember what restaurant does not remake the food after the customer complained and clearly communicated that they want the food since I've been waiting there with my young kid. It's one thing to have trash food but to lie on your customer here on yelp?? Pathetic. You guys can lie all day but facts are facts. No restaurant I've ever stepped foot in has said, "you don't like the food? Well we won't remake it for you"Also one more thing about your response to "ThAtS wHy We SeRvE oUr FoOd wItH SaUcE cAuSe We Do LiGhT SeAsOnIng"Everyone knows.. real good food. I mean reeeaal good food does not need sauce. I don't need the sauce in Benihana or the other spots. Another way of deflecting my very harsh but real critique of your food. Your food without sauce is like eating boiled shrimp boiled steak and cheap quality fried rice. Anyone can throw a sugary sauce on anything! I would rather fish a tire out that waterfront and eat that, than to be subject to that type of food and customer service. Like I said I'm doing you guys a favor by pointing these things out. By the way I write reviews does it look like I miscommunicate???

Tried this place because of the location at the Vallejo Waterfront and it is literally on top of the water. Food was ok but not worth for the price. Maybe I am expecting more but as I've read other 1 star reviews and I agree to them.

Fast service and food is fresh delicious noodles when you eat it as soon as serve.. Ambiance need some staging

I absolutely love this spot. It's super close to my house so it's always my go to for hibachi when I'm at home. The vibes are super chill and the service is always great. There's a great view of Mare Island too and outside seating that's great during the warm weather!!

Flavorful dishes! I got some noodle dish. Idk if it was because I hadn't eaten all day and I was just super hungry or what, but it seemed like small portions. Excellent service though. The lady was so nice. Great, strong inexpensive drinks. Can't wait to come back! This might become my go-to local spot. I love the water views yet laidback vibe. Very me.

My man & I made an impromptu stop here on a Super Bowl Sunday. The moment we walked in was such a warm friendly greeting. I ordered the steak noodles & he got the shrimp fried rice. The steak garlic noodles were the best I've had! We sat for sometime & really just enjoyed our experience. I'm from Sac & would come down just to eat there again. Can't wait for the weather to get warmer .
