"My first Chinese food since moving to Fuquay-Varina NC and I like it. I come from NYC, NJ, lived in AZ and FL (FL has really stepped up their game with pizza , all Italian, and Chinese. AZ was decades ago) Nothing will ever be NYC especially authentic Chinatown if you're lucky to have a connection to a place that doesn't put different menus out for non Chinese people. It's a different experience all together. This food certainly doesn't disappoint. the fried rice is beautiful yellow with plenty of pork and flavor. Wonton soup broth is very good as are the wontons. They are huge, delicious and almost a meal themselves. The twice cooked pork is something I've never had so I really rolled the dice here. And WOW! Very good. the cabbage isn't too strong and the heat (I love the heat) isn't overbearing. The sauce is good too. You can almost "sense" the 5 spice. Not too much not too little. I'll definitely try this restaurant again. And they deliver on Door Dash!"
"Not the best when it comes to amenities, but the orange chicken was tender and crispy. A lot of Chinese take out ends up chewy, I was pleasantly surprised. Still only gave 2 tablespoons of sweet n sour for 8 rangoons though, they cut weird corners"

"The Shrimp Tayriaki and the Shrimp and Beef Tayriaki was exceptional. The flavors and taste was excellent. The carrots were sweet and soft (like I like them) and the zucchini was full of flavor. I swapped out the rice for noodles instead and the noodles were a winner! I meal portion was so much that I have leftovers for tomorrow. I will definitely be getting these dishes again!"
"good food! the prices seem high but you do receive a lot of food and one hibachi entree is enough for two adults - Chicken Teriyaki and Steak & Chicken Hibachi were both great. if you ask for the steak medium...it's still going to be well. friendly service & the place seems clean."

"Amazing quality and flavor. Korma, drunken noodles, and pad thai were incredible. The pad thai is the best I've had among approximately four other restaurants in the area. The portion sizes are large, too."
"The food has good flavor but photos on menu are very misleading and portions are SMALL... doesn't accurately represent what you get... see photos of actual food for reference. CHICKEN NAAN doesn't have any chicken .. very misleading ... EGGPLANT HOLY BASIL only has FIVE pieces of eggplant for $17. I will not be ordering again because the portion sizes are way too small for the price."

"The sushi is delicious and such a soft texture and yummy taste that made me want to eat lots of sushi. The cheese gyoza are so crunchy on the outside, but the cheese and texture are so good and delicious together that I love how well cooked they are. I love Habachi Bowl's dishes and sushi, I will never forget the good texture and quality of the food they made for the customers to try and enjoy."
"Hibachi Chicken and Shrimp Chicken was soft and not too dry, unlike other places. Both good portion of chicken and shrimp. Good price. #8 Spicy Crab Roll Wasn't too bad but regular plain sticky white rice used. Could've been better if sushi rice was used instead. Flavor-wise, it was decent and personally it was much better than many places that has same dish. Fried Tempura Shrimp (3 pcs) Fried shrimp tempura doesn't change regardless of who you get it from. But theirs was less oily/greasy. Personally loved the sauce that comes with it."
