Iron Chef, Pickerington OH

Great staff, The food was delicious, best of all was the show our chef put on for us. Our kids really enjoyed it as well as us. Nice and clean place no wait and very enjoyable for a family.

Enjoyed the hibachi for the experience.

Quick things to note:

- This location does NOT have vents as compared to other hibachi locations having a vent per station.
- options also include vegetarian + lobster + filet mignon hibachi along with the other expected options: steak, shrimp, scallops & chicken.
- you're always able to ask for a combo of the above and for extras (e.g. Rice, veggies, etc.), but they already come with a small basic salad and soup.
- if you don't like the hibachi options, there's sushi choices.
- food, a tad bit salty + oily (if you've never tried hibachi before - that's a typical hibachi experience)
- finally, try the yum-yum sauce.

Chef's are funny and everything taste great. Little bit smokey but if you go hungry you can eat through it. Plum wine helps to.

You cant go wrong with hibache. Food was excellent. The cooks were not as entertaining as other hibache grills I have visited. Overall, it is a good place to eat.

If you are looking for authentic this is not it, I recently ate at the house of japan in located in Dublin they nailed it the first time around. Since I was unable to get to them a second time, Iron Chef was the go to. I was very disappointed in the food it is beyond commercial, celery and carrots have no business in Hibachi or Japanese food in my opinion. I was shocked and horrified now the salad was amazing and rivaled House of Japans. The egg yolk sauce tasted like over buttery mayo and not at all like there was any egg in it, when you have to season food yourself, that's bad we keep Mrs. Braggs liquid amino’s and that helped, worse food I have had.

I really enjoyed the experience! The chef was funny and interactive with all the guest. Food was delicious and got a lot for what I paid for. The only complaint is a couple other guest were rude and I sat right next to them and heard the disrespectful things they were saying. Next time I'll just invite enough people to fill a table. Felt so bad for the waiter and the chef. Still 5 stars.

I miss genji. Yum yum is a bit sweet for my taste. Place feels very dark and dingy. Chef was entertaining but not the greatest cook. Didnt let things render down as long as he should have which made the vegetables and bean sprouts extremly oily. Overall flavor is good. But he also cooked the shrimp damn near on top of the raw chicken. Just think some basic cooking skills and safety need to be addressed.

Food was tasteless, rice over cooked and smushy, my medium steak was well, no flavor, bad customer service, when they are getting ready to close they rush you about 10 minutes after you eat. I was still actively eating my food when waiter asked could he box my plate. Food not pleasant I've been there about 6xs this will be my last.

My son's favorite restaurant. I LOVE the food but please upgrade the vent fans. Every time I leave here I smell like fire lol

Food and service were great. I really appreciated the way they made my gluten free meal separately in the kitchen. The downfall here is that they seem to be lacking enough ventilation to make it enjoyable. Our eyes were burning by the end from the smoke and steam.

No wonder it’s so famous in the town. I loved the food. Staff is very welcoming. Clean place. Wonderful hibachi experience. Place for big group as well. Mushroom soup with onion dressing on salad comes first. Shrimp hibachi was so delicious. I felt that the quality and quantity both were good. This place is closed for few hours in the noon so check the timings online before you go. Mostly crowded place obviously with good food. Was a very good dining experience for us. Thankyou

The food is pretty good, the chefs are great, friendly showman, but the facility isn't super clean. The bathroom was very dirty.

W resturant. Front desk lady had on an aot shirt. Food cooker had a fire sense of humor. Can't go wrong with anything here

Horrible! We order take out, got home and our meals were so saturated in pepper we could not eat them at all, so gross! It was as though the pepper shaker lid fell off and they just dumped it in our food! $60 down the drain! Highly disappointed!

Everything was great.however there was an excessive amount of dust all over the ceiling when you first come in. It made me question how clean the entire facility was, but everything else was very clean and I had a really good experience! (once I got past the dirt on the ceiling lol)

Food was delicious and service was great. The place needs a little tlc. Torn chairs, wallpaper peeling a little, small things that take away from the atmosphere.

Nice meal, seafood lovers.prepared perfectly, getting a drink refill another story in fact arrived in a to go cup. Charged extra for fried rice doesn't seam right when your at Japanese Teppanyaki/Hibachi. Cost of living these days.

Went here for grandson bday. It was good. I have had way better. But it was ok they were friendly the food so so I got chicken and steak lots of chicken few?

Super disappointed as this is my 2nd time at this restaurant and neither time did the Chefs interact with the customer. Hibachi grills have been one of our favorite family dinner spots because of the entertainment from the Chef’s.

The food was also over cooked and unpleasant. I wanted my steak rare and the chef didn’t ask me until it was already half way cooked. The chicken was dry and overdone as well.

I would not recommend this restaurant and can say we will not be going back.

4 of us came to this location. We had a short wait to be seated, no problem. Their tables hold 8 total. We were sat with a party of 2. The receptionist said she will close the table and we all thanked her as we didn’t want to sit too closely to others. COVID. We had menus at the table already and the price of hibachi was a reasonable 15.00. A few minutes later, the receptionist came back and took the menu we had already had and replaced it with a much more expensive menu. Hibachi was now 25.00. Either way, we were happy to pay a good price for good food. The manager, Mai Ling, came to our table and we were asked to all scoot down so she could seat 2 more people. I explained the receptionist closed the table as all of us agreed not to sit too close to strangers during COVID. She very rudely and loudly said “oh, is that the situation? My chefs have been so busy all day”. Her response was uncalled for and embarrassing. The food was great, the service from the server was also. The restaurant was a bit dingy and cluttered, but the food was very good. If the manager had not been so rude, i would leave a much better review. Not a good way to treat customers.
