If there was a way to give more than 5 stars, I would. Everything about Ori Hibachi is amazing. The value of the food is incredible. You could not get food like this in a big city for twice this price. The plating is beautiful. The flavor is great. But most of all -- the people. The staff is consistently kind, professional, and just beautiful all around.

Our food was very good. Excellent flavor and good size portions. My parents had the Yaki crab. I had an Indonesian noodle dish with medium spice. Medium spice was not very spicy to me. I would compare it to a 3 on a 1-10 scale in other places, but it had a great flavor. Tawnee had Thai stir fry and it was also very good. We also had spring rolls and egg rolls. The spring rolls were okay , but liked the egg rolls better. Service was good. Our waiter was very new to waitering but still did a good job.

We loved this place. It was a pleasant surprise to find such good quality sushi on our trip. Service was extremely polite and fast. Their appetizers were fried to perfection. We also enjoyed and would recommend their smoked salmon roll. If you are traveling through the Mexico, Missouri area, and are looking for an healthier alternative to fast food. Definitely stop here. It's worth it.

Visited this place with my son. I think they might be adding candles to the tables, the power went out right after our food was delivered. At no fault to the business or the people. It was an experience and one for the books that's fersure. It made it more peaceful. And would love to visit again during a stom in hopes to enjoy the experience again.

Late review but this place deserves the credit! Absolutely some of the best food I’ve had in a while. They accommodated modifications within reason, everything was fresh. Didn’t have to leave with a box because we ate it all at the table. Sweet people, and they work super hard. Definitely impressed for a first visit, was recommended by a friend and we drove 20 minutes to get there! Food was great! Two meals (comes with soup and a side of fried rice), sushi roll and an appetizer.

Had my birthday supper here, and it's some of the best food I've had. If I could afford it I would eat here dang near every day, and probably not get sick of it! The waitstaff are always super friendly and helpful. Their shrimp were perfectly cooked, not rubbery like some other places. The rice had a great flavor. The crab rangoon was the best I've had for sure. All three of my girls beg me to go back at least once a week

I've been to a few places recently and wasn't happy and I've been here twice now and both times I would give it five stars. It was phenomenal. Loved it! Everything that was supposed to be cold was cold. I hate getting lukewarm sushi and theirs was nice. Perfect temperature. They pay attention to the detail been there twice now and planning to keep going back.
