Worth the price…. The combinations and single meat dishes include – Salad, soup, rice, noodles and ice cream + the protein you order.

Went with a group of friends for our birthdays, and had the privilege of having their amazing hibachi cook, Kevin! He made our experience above and beyond. We have had many other hibachi dinners, but Rokbonki and Kevin‘s wonderful personality made this experience outstanding. Of course, the food was delicious, too. And the rest of the staff was very personable.

I’ve been going to this place since I was a little kid. It has the best hibachi style food I’ve ever tasted. I highly recommend the ribeye steak. My wife loves the shrimp. The portions are really large and you definitely feel like you are for what you paid for. I highly recommend going here for a birthday or special occasion. Definitely worth bringing the kids to it well as it’s quite entertaining.

❤ Highly recommend! Yes, I’ll admit you might be taken back by the prices, but its worth EVERY cent! Not only do you get the traditional soup & salad, you also get shrimp and noodles, veggies and your main course with rice and mushrooms, or fungi as my group was saying (lol). Then you get 9ce cream too! I was beyond full and excited I have left overs for lunch the following day! My to go was so full, along with my stomach. They have some fun speciality cocktails too which others at the table couldn’t resist a second, I suck to Kiren- a tradition at hibachi for me. Now, our chef! Kevin–what a hoot, he totally made the meal 200x times better, we were nothing but laughs and jokes the entire time he was making dinner! I have never seen the onion volcano the way he displayed it. He lit the from corner of the grill and moved to the volcano, what a show!!! Absolutely have to say THIS place knows what their doing! Highly recommend to anyone in the area, we were just traveling for work. More than worth the 15 minute drive, and beyond worth every penny!

Asked for shrimp sauce and was berated by the chef for 5 minutes about how that’s only a Japanese thing? I thought this was a Japanese steakhouse. “Is this your first time here? Are you from out of town?” And then he told me to use ginger sauce three times even after I said no I don’t like ginger. Lol. All the chef had to say was no sorry we don’t have it. The server dropped our drinks off one time and didn’t check up on us the rest of the meal when it would’ve been nice to get a refill. He gave us the wrong check and when I told him he rudely said “no i didn’t” Well there was a kids meal on our ticket and we didn’t have a kid with us. The vegetables were undercooked and the rice was really sweet. For $50 a plate I expected better food and service.

Had dinner here with my wife and 3 little kids last night. We had a wonderful experience and most importantly they were very kid friendly! I had the filet which was cooked perfectly and super tender! The soup and salad were good as well as the veggies. I loved that they had the hibachi noodles (super underrated) and shrimp appetizer. My 3 little kids split the adult steak with fried rice and there was plenty of food! My wife really enjoyed her chicken entree. We will definitely be coming back the next time we are in the mood for hibachi! Great job Rokbonki team!

This is a good teppanyaki style Japanese steakhouse. Very similar to others in the area, however I feel like it is much cleaner. Our chef and server were nice but did not really seem into it. The food was good and the filet was very tender. You get a lot of food for your order.

It looks outdated and has no Japanese feeling to it. Food is bland and the chef that we got did no performance at all!!!!! No jokes no flare nothing just cooked and left. I was a bit shocked. Whatever. It’s ok i tried it…. now I know!!
