6 Most Yummy Hibachi Restaurants in Augusta, GA

Hibachi Augusta GA

Hibachi translates as “fire bowl” in English and refers to a method of cooking in Japanese cuisine in which vegetables and meat are cooked over a high-heat metal plate. The word “hibachi” is used interchangeably with both a type of grill and the dish itself in the United States.

Thankfully for Augustans, the selections for hibachi-style dining continue to grow as the years pass. Here are the top six hibachi restaurants in Augusta, Georgia worth visiting again (and again).

Best Hibachi in Augusta, GA

1. Kinki Sushi (Washington Road, Augusta)

Kinki Sushi is perhaps the best Hibachi spot in the Augusta-area, given its low prices, generous portion sizes, and consistently great hibachi over the years.

At the corner of Washington and Pleasant Home Rd., Kinki Sushi is somewhat off the beaten path and the name implies they mainly serve sushi. But overlook it at your own expense. I have always gone to Kinki Sushi for the hibachi and teriyaki bowls, as I usually have enough left over for my next meal. The quality of ingredients, straightforward menu, and low prices have kept me as a repeat customer for 8+ years.

Additionally, if you do want to have the sushi, there are 50+ sushi roll options here. But if you are interested in more sushi options in the area, I encourage you to checkout this article I wrote on the best sushi offerings in the Augusta area.

Pro Tip: Call ahead, as Kinki Sushi‘s hours have not always matched what is listed on the website. Also, make sure to get extra yum-yum and teriyaki sauces.

2. Miyabi Jr. Japanese Express (Washington Road, Evans)

The bowls are consistently delicious and straightforward, with all the traditional options of chicken, steak, shrimp, and fish. Over the years, the meals almost always come out in under 5 minutes, making it among the speediest in the area.

While the original restaurant was started in Charleston, SC, Miyabi Jr. Japanese Express has expanded to include 11 locations in the Southeast US. The Augusta store is located next to the Evans’ Kroger on Washington Road. At under $9 for a chicken bowl, and under $11 for the entree, this is also one of the cheapest options in town.

3. Koi Japanese Hibachi & Sushi (Washington Road, Martinez)

With a larger, highly-decorative dining area, Koi Japanese Hibachi & Sushi offers a more formal restaurant experience. In addition to chicken, for their hibachi entrees they offer lobster tail, ribeye, filet mignon, scallops, salmon, and red snapper. At dinner, the prices will run anywhere from $20.95 – $39.95 for these hibachi entrees.

But if you simply want to grab the hibachi deals, they do offer lunch and early bird specials which range from $12 – $16 for the hibachi options.

4. Miyako Sushi & Hibachi Steakhouse of Augusta (Washington Rd., Augusta)

Sharing a name with Japan’s Miyako Island, Miyako Sushi & Hibachi Steakhouse of Augusta has a great selection of both hibachi and sushi. It is an excellent choice for either a dine-in experience, or for grabbing lunch before or after grocery shopping, given its close proximity to Kroger on Washington Rd. They offer both lunch and early bird specials, which you may want to consider as cost-saving options.
