Reviews for House of Japan in Dublin, OH

Spider and a web chilling in the doorway!???? Grill nasty, and server was lazy, boring, had bandages on his fingers, just yuck!... But he had a good time flinging rice from station to station. ???? The stainless steel container the ginger sauce was in wasD.I.S.G.U.S.T.I.N.G!!!! It looked as if they only refilled it, and NEVER washed it.. And when he gave the yum yum sauce, his???? was almost in it! And my egg yolk sauce looked DISTURBING.. I think it was breathing.( See picture) Let's not discuss thebathroom! Never tf again!!

Birthday dinner for a family member. A party of nine. Menu with lots of variety including both cooked selections as well as... Sushi options. Seated timely and orders taken within 5 minutes. Daniel, our chef, was entertaining while he cooked table-top. The chef made the experience fun and memorable. Food was prepared brilliantly, cooked to our specifications, and delicious!Portions are generous. We added the birthday pineapple and photo to complete the memorable experience. The environment was cleanand well controlled. Friday evening event (5:30pm) and the host/hostess was very attentive to ensure our party was seatedtimely. We have also dined for lunch which has lunch special prices. Also, very good and generous portions. Again, seatedtimely with good service. Highly recommended! Located off 270 near Tuttle Mall. NOTE: As the table-top cooking does involveflames at times, dine-in is not recommended for people with oxygen support. Order take-out instead to receive the sameexcellent meal options. Read more

It's been a few years but they still deliver great food in a great setting. My teenage daughter turned into a playful 8 year old... all over again as the grill master tossed small shrimp at her to catch only with her mouth. Entertainment for all seated at thegrill. Read more

Had to wait for 45 minutes to be seated. They were very busy. The chef was very entertaining. Food was good. Just wished they... cut the meat and veggies smaller. Easily could have been cut in half and that would have been the perfect bite. Also ensures youget meat with more bites. I got the new York strip steak well done. It was tender and juicy! Read more

This place is pretty good, and I would give it a 4.5 if I could, but it’s not a 5. The salad dressing on the dinner salad was... more salty than flavorful… and the fried rice was a little too buttery for my tastes. The Chicken Yakisoba was very good butcould have been a bit more savory. And the Spicy crab salad could have had a bit more crab, but was otherwise not bad. Read more

Absolutely terrible!!! Reservations was made, but they were not ready for us. 14 people, family celebration. We were seated at... two separate tables. At table #1 the cook arrived. He was very good, funny, and entertaining. Everyone said the food wasadequate. Now the other table #2...here we sat watching table #1...we finally was served drinks and was watching table#1 eat. Finally the cook arrived at our table. He was not entertaining at all. We received our meals, the rice was dark dark brown. Themeals was so saturated with soy sauce you couldn't taste anything but the sauce. All of us just picked at our food. The food wasput in "to go boxes". Thought maybe we could salvage some of it..instead we threw it out. Hundreds of dollars wasted!!! Onerelative said he comes to this restaurant several times a year and not once was he served such awful food. We all should haverefused to pay but no one wanted to cause a scene. Not one of us is ever going back to this restaurant. A terribledisappointment. Read more

If you’re in the area, this place is a MUST! The restaurant was packed but we were seated pretty quickly. The host was very... friendly and kept a smile on his face with all the guests he interacted with. Our server was phenomenal! It was our first timeand she took the time to explain to the kids what options they could choose with their fried rice. The chef was amazing! Hejoked with the kids and made everyone at the table feel relaxed. The food was phenomenal! Cooked to everyone’s specifications.Can’t wait to go again. Read more

Convenient place to walk to for dinner when staying at area hotels. Several surrounding the establishment. Menus are all out of... date though and have prices crossed off. They tell you that when they hand you the menu, but don't inform you what the pricesare. From what I could gather the two times I visited this past week for lunch and dinner, they are roughly $3-$4 more thanwhat's on the menu. Filet dinner portion hibachi ran over $40 with tip and upcharge for fried rice (costs $2 extra). Portions incomparison to other hibachi restaurants, also less. When I visited for lunch, I was told they do not carry clear/mushroom soup,even though it was blatantly on the dinner menu and I had enjoyed it two evenings prior. She said they only serve miso soup.With lunch you also only get salad or soup, not both. The taste and quality of food seemed decent. The ginger dressing was notlike others I've had. The filet was cooked perfectly and the fried rice didn't even dry out as leftovers. Yum yum sauce wasprovided at dinner, but we had to ask for it at lunch. There wasn't much overall flair for what I'd typically see at my localhibachi spot though. No sake squirted across the grill, no chef knife action, and no rice thrown to see if you catch it, butnevertheless they did do the onion fire volcano. The chefs were all very personable and accommodating. If they'd fix their menuswith correct pricing, and create more of an overall hibachi flair as I would typically expect, I'd increase my rating.
