2001
Greenville, NC
Our first location opened next to Barnes & Noble in Greenville. Two college students with a vision to bring fresh, affordable Japanese food to their community.
Our Story
It Started
With a Dream
We started Hibachi Bistro back in 2001 in a little spot next to the Barnes & Noble in Greenville, North Carolina. The "fast-casual" restaurant concept with fresh food was relatively new, and if we wanted a good Japanese steakhouse meal, we had to spend more time and money than we had.
College students don't have a big budget! We decided to solve both of those problems and give the restaurant business a try.
Always Fresh
We wanted to bring more fresh and fast healthy food options to our neighborhood. Most restaurants use frozen-to-fryer ingredients. You'll never find those at Hibachi Bistro. We make everything fresh, onsite.
2003
Wilmington Bound
A vacation to Wilmington, NC convinced us that this was the place to settle down and start a family, so we brought Hibachi Bistro with us!
A Family Business
We've been a family business ever since, and have enjoyed serving you hot, fresh, delicious, and fast meals!
