About Hibachi K and Sushi
Hibachi K and Sushi is a Japanese hibachi kitchen at 7320 Buffaloe Rd, Suite 112, Raleigh, NC 27616. Every bowl is cooked to order with broccoli, carrots, onion and zucchini, never held in a steam tray. There is sushi, bento and house-made drinks, seven days a week.
What we set out to do
Most hibachi in the Triangle is either a dinner-theater steakhouse or a mall food-court counter, and both are a night out. We wanted the third thing: a neighborhood kitchen where the vegetables are the point, the bowl comes off a real grill fast, and it is light enough to eat on a Tuesday.
That is why the menu reads the way it does. Every bowl arrives with broccoli, carrots, onion and zucchini, cooked when the ticket prints rather than held, and tofu is a standard protein rather than an afterthought. You build the bowl yourself: a protein, then bulgogi, soy garlic, teriyaki or orange, then the base. There is sushi, plus a drink list built around yuzu, dragonfruit, passionfruit and strawberry basil instead of a soda gun.
The room
Hibachi K and Sushi is a small dining room in the shopping center on Buffaloe Road, between Forestville and Wakefield. There is free parking directly out front and no dress code. Most people eat in, and some take a bowl to go.
We are open Monday–Sunday, 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM, and we hold a 4.6-star rating across 121 Google reviews.
The people behind the counter
Hibachi K and Sushi is independently owned and operated. We are a small team cooking every ticket to order, not a franchise running someone else’s playbook. If you want to know who is on the grill, come in and ask; you will usually be talking to the person who made your bowl.

Sourcing
Vegetables are prepped in house daily. Sauces are made here from scratch, which is why we can bottle them. We have sushi, and rolls run on availability. If something is off for the day, the menu says so.
How we run the kitchen
Cooked to order, not held
Nothing sits in a steam tray. Every bowl is cooked when the ticket comes in. Protein, broccoli, carrots, onion and zucchini are grilled and sauced together, then finish over your base.
The vegetables are standard
Broccoli, carrots, onion and zucchini go into every bowl, not as a side you pay extra for. They are grilled and sauced with your protein, so they arrive cooked to order rather than out of a warming tray. White rice is the base, or make it fried rice or noodles. Tofu is a standard protein alongside chicken, steak and shrimp.
Sauces made in house
Soy garlic, orange, bulgogi and teriyaki are all made here. People started asking to take them home, so now you can buy a 16 oz bottle.
