A hidden gem! I would have never known about this place had I not just happened to walk in by accident. Atmosphere was kinda blah, but that's alright! I'm a firm believer in the fact that beautiful food can come from ugly restaurants. Eat Hibachi! is no Porterhouse when it comes to ambience, but the food more than makes up for that. I ordered to-go and waited just a few minutes for my order to be prepared. I got the spicy chicken stir-fry and was absolutely delighted with what I was given! An enormous amount of food for a good price, plus the person who took my order offered me a glass of water while I waited. It's nice to have a cheap, authentic Korean place closer to home than all the way out in Atlanta or Duluth!

I think they may be closed. Years back they tasted ok but their quality deteriorated, and the last times I went there they had a funky, artificial taste to their food. Like it was a frozen product. Not a fan.

Easy to overlook hole this in the wall. For $5.49, you can get a chicken teriyaki plate with choice of white or fried rice and some veggies. Enough to keep you full until dinner. My food came out ridiculously quick. I paid, put my things down, and as I got my water, food was done! Perfect place for a quick lunch. To top it off, the staff was very nice!

Portions went down in size :(

Expensive considering what you're actually getting. A better version of choo-choos except the soups here are pretty okay. I would say the bi-bim-bap is...lacking, they don't have the sauce for it.

Ahhhh bulgogi! This place is absolutely a MUST...especially after a night of downtown debauchery (Thurs-Sat it's open until 4am---winner!). It's located off Broad, on the side of Five Guys Burger and Fries...keeeeeeeep walking down that shady strip and you'll eventually get to it. :] I don't want to hate Choo Choo's but they've got nothing on Eat Hibachi. It looks kinda run down from the outside, and not really appealing to the public actually. But I like how the kitchen is open so customers can really see what's going on behind the scene. They also let you fill your own sauces up (something I like) since I like to customize my sauces (a little bit of white, a little bit of teriyaki, a little bit of soy). I haven't tried their soups but I'm a hugeeee fan of tofu soup (TOFU HOUSE in Duluth, try it!) and I might wander back to try that sometime. They've got a deal right now where it's only $4.99 for teriyaki chicken. If you don't get that, plan on spending $6-$8 for the other dishes. I give it only a 4 out of 5 stars because I don't think it's the BEST bulgogi I've had but pretty darn good for a "fast food" type of deal.

The owner is not professional at all. Food was ok but we ordered food and he served 5 people behind us before we got our food. At one point I went up to the window to ask how long it was gonna take and the owner asked if I had a problem! Wtf?! In the end he told me that it was because the food was to go and that's why we didn't get our food promptly. Really? If you don't treat customers right they will not come back. If you truly piss off a customer you get a 1 star review on yelp

Firstly, my group and I went in during lunch so it was not busy. Walking in it was smokey, there were chairs stacked up against the wall by the entrance and we weren't greeted. Having been our first, and most likely last, time there we had no idea what to do. Eventually we found a menu on the wall behind the television. The owner, I'm guessing, took our orders impatiently. We say down and waited for our food. Remember me stating the room was smokey? Well, in the THIRTY minutes of us waiting for our food (there were four of us) the room had gotten so smokey our eyes were literally burning! When we went to grab our food I noticed a leak in the kitchen. I asked if we can leave the door open for a bit because it was really smokey in the dining room. The guy behind the counter said we could. So we opened the door and used one of the chairs that was stacked by the door to hold it open. Not a few minutes later the owner comes and slams the door shut.. Other than THAT, the food was a disappointment. Maybe my hopes were too high. The portions were way small, the food wasn't hot, nor did it have much flavor. Maybe it was a bad day for the restaurant but it was hard trying to not allow that experience ruin my day. I was disappointed!

Firstly, the food was delicious. I want to make a point of expressing this because its why I've given this restaurant 3 stars. I think I'll try some of their soups next time or the bulgogi because my stomach did not appreciate the Bibimbap. Was it tasty? Without a doubt. Did it leave me painfully sick the next day? Yes. It's equally likely that I just couldn't handle such a large amount of spicy food at once or that something in the food wasn't prepared properly. It's one or the other and I'm willing to chance it again, just maybe with a different dish. I did see a number of roaches in the restroom and I crossed my fingers that they didn't live in the kitchen as well.

Originally from Athens, Georgia I hated driving the hour west to get some "authentic" Korean soups. Until recently, though, that is what I had to do. Located on Broad street, it's the perfect locale for students wanting a relaxing but delicious lunch - especially on a cold, chilly, "winter" afternoon. There's traditional Hibachi fried rice and Japanese teryaki chicken, but the soups are what I go for. Made by the ajumma, these soups are almost exactly what I found when I went to Korea to visit. Most of it is made with seafood and pork, but there are some soups you can get that only has the seafood. My favorite is Tofu Soup, followed by Ramyun, followed by Dumpling Soup - although the dumpling soup is kind of bland in comparison. I second the other reviews when they say there is not very many vegetarian options for those who do not eat meat. As for the appetizers, the koyza was a little too crispy. The pancakes were small, but o.k. You get three to your order, but with all that soup, you really dont want much else. The portions are huge, the food is quite authentic, and the service (when you get to know them) is wonderful.

When I first saw this place, I thought "Japanese Korean? What the heck?" I had never seen a place like it before and mostly avoided it the first year I lived in Athens. Just a couple of days ago, one my friends ordered takeout there and it smelled amazing! That's when I realized I needed to try it. First of all, the food is really good. I enjoyed the spicy chicken and my girlfriend liked the curry and rice. I have tried both dishes and they have excellent flavor. Despite what the other reviews say, there are vegetarian OPTIONS for most of their plates. It says so on the menu. The portions are a good size and usually manage to fill me up. Another plus is the price. Most meals are under $7, so it is a great choice if you're on a budget. Also, they do deliver, but for orders of $11 or more. They are open till 4AM on Thursday through Saturday, so it's a great choice for night owls. The restaurant's atmosphere is casual. It is a relatively small place, but in an excellent location. It is right in downtown Athens. Another thing you might need to know is that the boss/manager/owner can be rude. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but it is hit or miss with him. I have never had a problem with him, but a couple people I know of have said that. Aside from that, I would recommend this place to anyone who would like some good Japanese/Korean food. I'm not sure how authentic it is, but all the food I have tried has good flavor. For the price, you can't beat the flavor and portions.

Quite possibly the most underrated restaurant in Athens. Or the most misinterpreted... For most people, it is just another fast food hibachi restaurant, but the best thing that comes out of this establishment is it's Korean food. If you are a big fan of Korean food, this is the ONLY place in Athens that has it. And they do a great job of doing that! (btw, I know that Choo Choo has Korean dishes, but to me it doesn't bring Korean food justice....) Bim-Bim-Bap is my favorite there as well as the Tofu Soup. Actually, to keep this short and simple, if you have a favorite Korean dish, then you will like this place. Price is more than reasonable considering that you don't have to drive to Atlanta to get it. And the late hours is definitely a big plus for the hungry drunk! One of my favorite restaurants in Athens. Instead of eating the same ol' hibachi you can get at like 6 other places in town, try the Korean menu. It might blow your mind.

Had lunch there the other day. It seems to be under new management/ownership. I was the only patron at the height of the lunch hour. The chicken stir fry was good, but upon finishing my drink, I discovered a big black glob in the center of an ice cube. Bug, mold? Don't know and don't care. Not returning.

Food was good, the bibumbi is good, but doesn't come out in a hot bowl. was kinda surprised. The Udon soup tasted kinda funny but not too bad. I would come again, but may order some other things. The staff is very friendly and looks like a husband and wife type restaurant.

A great choice to get your Korean fix if you don't want to go to Lawrenceville. I consistently get the bi bim bop (the sauce is phenomenal) and my wife typically chooses one of the soups. I think they've got a great business model here as they have the teriyaki and fried rice for the less adventurous eaters, and the more traditional Korean fare that is pretty darn authentic. I certainly love to support local businesses that aren't afraid to serve authentic food that isn't toned down for "American tastes."

Yummy bulgogi! Friendly service! Will go back again... : ) Teriyaki chicken is just OK (fairly bland), but the spicy chicken is delish.

I believe in signs, and today I saw one. It was located next to Bombay Cafe on Broad Street and it read Eat Hibachi. Although neither the friend I was with at the moment nor I had ever heard of this restaurant before, on seeing its sign, our decision was made. We had been walking around for fifteen minutes, debating between our favorites, but suddenly it wasn't hard to pass up the usual gyro wrap or pad thai for some fresh steaming hibachi right off the grill. Upon walking into Eat Hibachi, the first thing I noticed was the aroma of hot Japanese style food wafting around the room. There is a window in front of the kitchen through which you can see exactly what the cooks are cooking and how they practice their art. A big nicely-designed menu located right above the kitchen made it quick to choose an entree. Everything looked equally good--a big plus for those of us with indecision as our middle names. With under $5.00 for an entree, it was easy to make a decision. My chicken teriyaki mixed with steamed rice was a delight to the palate. My friend who ordered another kind of chicken with fried rice agreed with me. Our meal was so delicious that we did not say a word for the first ten minutes of eating, but concentrated on the delicacy in front of us. The outside area of Eat Hibachi is also a great place to sit. The restaurant is located in a favorable zone, right on the busiest street of Athens--the best street for people-watching. In the duration of our meal, I saw a good friend passing by, an old beloved supervisor, and a previous inspiring teacher of mine. As well as, of course, lots of interesting pedestrians going about their days. And by the end of our meal, we were so satisfied with our experience, that it was hard to leave and go to class. Our stomachs were full and our eyes even fuller. If you like Choochoo's on the east side of Athens, you'll love Eat Hibachi. Its name might be demanding, its existence new, but everything else--location, taste, and price--is absolutely worth it.

This place was a staple for food for my wife and myself because we lived in an apartment above it. We use to get the soups. We haven't eaten at this place in awhile until today. I can say since I've branched out and started eating at other Korean restaurants in Atlanta that I think this place is mediocre at best. The prices are comparable to the Korean restaurants in Atlanta, but the quality is lacking. They give more food such as appetizers and more seafood in the seafood tofu soup. The kim chee is above average. I gave this place 3 stars because it doesn't have any competition in Athens for Korean food, but if I had a choice I would rather eat at the Korean restaurants in Atlanta.
