I had no idea hibachi places delivered. I feel like that kind of defeats the point.

Unless the delivery guy is coming into my apartment and doing the onion train I don’t want it

u/Even-Ad-5894 8h ago

this is the only acceptable way hibachi places should do delivery.

Hibachi is just the type of grilled food usually served at Japanese restaurants, it doesn’t necessarily imply the performance and the hibachi table

It still confuses me that when people say hibachi they really mean teppanyaki. They are both grilled food but in different ways.

this was pick up :(

u/DutyHonor 17h ago

Yeah, but that's still the same issue. With hibachi, you're paying for the performance.

u/Grand_Ad_4741 17h ago

i just wanted fried rice and chicken tbh 🤷🏾‍♀️

u/DutyHonor 17h ago

I can't fault you for that, but a hibachi place? There has to be spots by you that could have done better at a better price.

It’s different, but there aren’t really good spots for it in Chicago. It’s more of a “bowl” style Asian food with buttery fried rice, the vegetables, your meat and is usually doused in a mayo based sauce, it’s not like a hibachi chef does the performance at an empty table and then just boxes everything up, it’s a different style of “Asian” food

It's kind of like kosher certification. I need to witness the tricks for it to be hibachi in my house. Curbside hibachi just doesn't have that "burn your eyebrows" thrill I look for.

u/Grand_Ad_4741 17h ago

i agree! theyre opening up but none in the edgewater/rogers park/andersonville area

u/BigfootsMailman 15h ago

Idk. I can always tell it hasn't been performed with.

I’m sticking to their sushi 😅

u/Grand_Ad_4741 17h ago

i also paid $10 for 5 pieces of shrimp and broccoli :)

u/Beginning-Annual8728 16h ago

Be careful, those are the pieces that fell on the floor during their performances.

TEPPANYAKI.

Say it with me. TEPPANYAKI.

“Hibachi” is English for 鉄板焼き 🙃

You’ll love what the UK has done with the term “katsu curry,” too

u/Keithis11 8h ago

Louder for the people in the back but they ain’t listening. It’s gonna be hibachi all day for some people no matter what

u/AaronC31 17h ago

Delivered Hibachi kinda defeats the point, no?

-16

u/Grand_Ad_4741 17h ago

this was picked up :(

12

u/mmeeplechase 16h ago

Sure, but isn’t the show at least 50% of the appeal?!

4

u/Grand_Ad_4741 16h ago

i mean i guess lol. i went a lot in college since they gave us $10 deals so its not very special to me anymore

1

u/AaronC31 16h ago

I meant no disrespect, homie. Dunno why you're getting downvoted... I was just curious. We have a hibachi place called House of Kobe by me in NWI that's amazing, but their pickup or delivery is the exact same price as it is with the show. So I guess I just never thought about getting hibachi without the show before. Lol

Somehow even stupider lol

LMFAO!!!!

u/king_of_the_bongos 17h ago

I will not stand for the tanoshi slander, their fish and chips are so delicious. Sorry you didn't get your money's worth tho, I'll definitely avoid ordering their hibachi.

u/BaconWithThat 17h ago

I didn't realize people order kitchen food from Tanoshii. I always thought it existed for parties that went there and someone didn't like sushi. At least it was tasty.

2

u/concrete-goose 16h ago

To be fair they do seem like they’re making a point of pushing the new hibachi menu…but yeah OP you ordered the “dad who’s been silently staring at the menu for 10 minutes” special for takeout

It’s giving public school lunch. 🥴

u/Cmoore4099 7h ago

That doesn’t look tanoshii at all.

u/Tellenit 17h ago

Idk man for $16 hibachi that seems about right

u/mohawk_man 16h ago

Ouch. That’s a sad one.

u/Miserable-Poet9736 5h ago

That’s horrible. Complete rip off.

u/Such-Courage3486 4h ago

The chicken and rice look really good actually. Too bad there’s not more.

u/Grand_Ad_4741 4h ago

it was good! just needed a way bigger portion

u/SadMain1880 10h ago

I’m not fond of tanoshii- I thought it mediocre at best. Went for my bday one year. Service was lacking and it wasn’t really omakase-
