Hi there! I’m new to Hampton Roads and the one thing I’ve not been able to find yet (for food at least) is a cheap takeout hibachi place. I’m not looking for sit down they grill in front of you (I’ve found those but I’m not paying $20 to get takeout). I’m not looking for ramen or other Japanese (there are a few of those near me but they’re not what I’m looking for). And I’m not looking for Chinese or generic “Asian” (I’m weird and don’t like Chinese fried rice, the Japanese hibachi rice is different but most generic places are closer to Chinese). I want the hibachi that’s just rice and chicken that comes in a styrofoam container that costs like $10 for the chicken plate. Any recommendations? I’m open to Norfolk or Newport News/Hampton since I work over there and would like to pick it up on my way home (so Virginia Beach would be too far). Google has not been super helpful, everywhere that looks like what I want has bad reviews so thought I would ask here. Thanks!

Hibachi Express is so damn good. They're in York county/Tabb area.
I'm going to necro this thread just to highlight how good this place is. We moved from Hampton to Norfolk and still make the trip to York County just for this hibachi because nothing on this side of the water compares.
I found this thread because we literally made a special trip across the tunnel today just for this, and I'd really like a more convenient option. I have the same problem OP does, whenever I ask someone about Hibachi places they always point you to some Japanese steakhouse, when what I'm really looking for is like street food type hibachi.
