Clunky sushi roll that is not well executed. Cheap, though, so you get what you pay for.

Soggy spring rolls and powered miso soup. Look at all that oil on the napkin on the spring rolls.
Teriyaki Chicken & Steak. Notice the heavy sauce, and the splotchy rice coloring.
Hibachi Chicken & Steak. Those pale nuggets at the top right are chicken. Bland bland bland.

The food is OK, but the ambiance in the store is a bit depressing. Their hibachi dishes are very decent and freshly prepared. But, they serve it in a styrofoam container for dine in customers and on cafeteria trays. The seats look like they're from a Hardee's that closed years ago.I want to support them. So I will return to try them again!

My recent hibachi experience was underwhelming. The rice was undercooked and the vegetables lacked flavor. While it seems like a straightforward dish, it's surprising how often it misses the mark. I'll likely skip this restaurant next time.

Not really sure why this place gets such bad reviews. It is very good for what it is. I have eaten here about 6 times in the last few months. Staff has always been friendly and helpful and the facility is clean. Food is inexpensive and the portions are generous. We usually get one steak or chicken dinner and one vegetable dinner. Broccoli is fresh while other vegetables are prepared ahead of time. Sauces are available on the side and are interesting without being overpowering. Beef and chicken are both excellent and appear to be freshly-prepared. Great choice for an inexpensive and reasonably healthy meal.

This was probably the worst Japanese restaurant I ever ate at. My chicken was fried in an oil that made it taste like fish. Actually the rice tasted like fish also!The cook looked like she could have used a new pair of clothes. She had on dingy shorts and a top with rips in it. And wore crocs on her feet!!That really isn't a star but couldn't post if not

I should have listened to the reviews but I was really craving Japanese and it was the only thing I could find close. I thought "the reviews are usually just a few bad experiences" well if so I'm one of them too. Steak was like beef jerky and the shrimp sushi was literally only the shrimp tails in the middle!!! Disgusting! If you are reading this don't be like me and waste $15 on inedible junk.

I'd give this place zero stars I could.Bad enough the "food" is lacking in flavor/. The whole place smells like pee. The owner was very rude and acted differently towards black customers, and not in a good way. I ate their food and was sick for 24 hours after. If you like having your digestive system emptying out from both ends, you want to eat at New Japan.

First, the food isn't really "Japanese Hibachi" style, rather a poor attempt at Chinese Food with Teriyaki added. Food not good, portions not a value for the money, not particularly clean, or fast service. Not sure how this place stays in business.

I love the hibachi chicken with broccoli and white sauce. For the price, it's a generous portion that makes two meals easily. Always delicious. Service is super fast.

Couldn't decide what to have for lunch and decided to pop in and order to go since it was close. Ordered the special and it was delicious! The proportion of rice, meat & veggies was great. Their Yum Yum (or as I call it dipping sauce) tastes amazing. The special also comes with a drink, I don't drink sodas so I attempted to get sweet tea; however it was out, so I just left without a beverage.
