Hibachi Japanese Express Is Open…&âYummy!
If you havenât yet checked out the new Hibachi Japanese Express, located in the smaller outparcel building (next to China Wok) of the same Wesley Chapel Village Market that also is home to Vallartaâs &âthe new Famous Tate store, you should go…for lunch or dinner…today! Hibachi Express features the same fresh sushi (Iâeven special ordered a grilled red snapper and cucumber roll that was just too good), choice NYâstrip (photo, right) and fresh large shrimp and scallop hibachi dishes, complete with ginger salad, mushroom soup, grilled hibachi veggies and fried rice, all at prices much less than most âteppanyaki (hibachi) tableâ restaurants because the hibachi grill is located in the open kitchen just behind Hibachi Expressâ much faster lunch counter, so youâre paying for the quality food and not the show. And, with the current special of a still-sizable lunch-sized portion of hibachi steak, chicken or shrimp, with rice &âveggies, for just $6.25, you canât beat the value! For more info about Hibachi Japanese Express (5315 Village Market Dr.), call 991-9582 or stop in &âtell Chen, the owner, that the New Tampa Neighborhood News sent you! â GN
