Located
just steps from the Hermosa Beach Pier, Hibachi
Restaurant has some of the best teriyaki dishes
in the beach cities in a cozy and relaxed setting.
Hibachi has a sparse menu but it makes up for it
with the food's quality. Hibachi makes its teriyaki
sauce and salad dressing fresh daily, and it shows
with a sweet and delicious flavor.
Teriyaki is served at Hibachi with pork, hamburger,
fish, shrimp and steak. But I decided on one of
my favorites, Chicken Teriyaki.
I started the meal with a sui mai appetizer, steamed
pork dumplings served with two different dipping
sauces. The mild flavor of the dumplings blended
well with sinus-clearing hot mustard sauce or the
more mild cocktail sauce. For an appetizer, there
were also the choices of steamed artichokes, beef
kabob or marinated pork teriyaki strips.
The marinated chicken teriyaki was boneless and
skinless. On the same plate it came with all-you-can-eat
rice and a salad covered with bean sprouts, red
onions and carrots. Both the teriyaki sauce and
the salad were served on the side.
Because of its quality, I drowned my chicken and
rice in the teriyaki sauce. It tasted great on the
chicken, which according to Hibachi's menu is the
restaurant's most popular dish. I can see why.
The salad had a tangy dressing that is tomato, basil
and vinaigrette-based. The restaurant staff would
not give any more details on the excellent dressing
with its unique and pleasing taste.
Besides the great food, the prices at Hibachi are
very reasonable.
Entrees range from a $7.50 cheeseburger to a $12.95
teriyaki sirloin steak. They also serve several
different salads like the teriyaki chicken salad
and the Hibachi meat salad. Shrimp and beef kabobs
and ribs are also offered.
