I think some things should be clarified that a previous reviewer overlooked. When I moved back from Clemson, SC (RURAL) to southwest charlotte I was floored that there was no hibachi express kind of places in the area. One night amidst a pouring rainstorm a bolt of lightning illuminated the "NOW OPEN Pika Express" sign and I was so excited I almost ran off the road trying to get there. This place has the EXACT same menu and prices as every other hibachi restaurant in the southeast.
If you want sushi......this is not the place. If you want egg rolls and General Tso's Chicken....this is not the place. BUT if you want Hibachi....THIS IS THE PLACE! First you need to know that Hibachi is sauteed meat, (Chicken, Steak, Shrimp) vegetables, (mushrooms or broccoli, and glazed carrots) and fried or steamed rice. There are two versions of each dish: Hibachi and Teriyaki. It is a very simple menu and the food is prepared VERY quickly (about 5 minutes) and is incredible. All this is served with a side of shrimp sauce (does not have shrimp in it...it's just the name) which is great for pouring over your rice. It's actually much healthier than most of the food you would get at a Chinese restaurant because it's not deep fried or slathered with sugary sauces. Pika Express does a great job for what it is. The food is the take-out version of what you get at a Japanese steakhouse where they cook it in front of you for 3 times the price. Needless to say, I go there 2 to 3 times a week and the food has always been fantastic. If you want sushi and egg rolls...go somewhere else. If you want GREAT inexpensive hibachi you will be thrilled.
