Reviews for Van Java Hibachi in Marion, OH
Chicken, shrimp and steak. All overcooked and dry. I was the only customer there for lunch, the waitress watched me asking me... repeatedly if I was finished and almost never refilled my cup. I had to get one myself. Read more
Absolutely would not recommend. The best part of the experience was leaving. I immediately got sick after leaving and my fiancé... felt very nauseous and queasy for the next couple hours. We could not bear to finish our food and definitely did not want totake it with us. Will not be back. Read more
First time eating here. The tables were sticky and dirty and the booths were very tight. The vegetable hibachi tasted like... charcoal and the crab rangoon tasted like they had been cooked in old oil. The two waitresses were teenagers and kept goingoutside and taking selfies when they were inside. I had to stop one of them to ask for a refill of my drink. The prices werealso pretty high for the quality of the food, $60 dollars for three entries and two small appetizers. I will not be going back. Read more
This place used to be The Shovel Lounge ... The decor and layout is pretty much unchanged. Same tables, booths, bar, and stage.... They are not yet serving any alcohol, and of course the menu is totally different. We went with the family to celebrate Mom's68th birthday. Was a little disappointed in the decor and atmosphere, but the food was great! We all enjoyed our meals and wewill return again. Don't be scared off by the looks inside Read more

Super excited to get a Ramen place here in Marion. After adding a little soy sauce to the Ramen, it was pretty good. And I'm... sure it only get better with time. Waitress was super friendly and we will definitely be back. Read more
Food was sub par, very salty. Staff and Waitress was friendly. When you walk in it still smells like cigarette smoke from the... shovel. Old fake brick paneling on the walls. Went to use the restroom and these are just some pics on what it looked like.Still using old plates from previous owners. Menu could be updated.Sides are itemized so it is my fresh m, for example you haveto pay an additional dollar for carrots, mushrooms , bean sprouts etc. You only get fried cabbage with your meal if not.

Read some of the low reviews and IMO they are off the mark. Food was great, service outstanding, beverages cold and prices... reasonable. Decor is an interesting mix of some Asian and Marion Shovel items. If you equate the word hibachi with a chefdoing crazy food and fire tricks in front of you, this is not that type of place but you should still go check it out.???? Read more
