🎎 Hearty Hibachi and Radiant Rolls at Maki Hibachi
“Hibachi is what we’re known for, but not our only claim to fame,” clarifies Darius, Assistant Manager at Maki Hibachi’s newest location near Downtown, “we also have fun rolls and unique options.”
This sushi and hibachi combination-style restaurant offers the steaming hot freshness of hibachi in a relaxed setting. Chefs operate in a bar area for guests to gander, though there are no stovetops littered throughout the dining area to ensure a more relaxing experience than a tourist hibachi spot.
Though the restaurant is known for their grilled food, this location also flaunts unique sushi rolls that combine different flavors. Take a sight of our bites!
🍠Urban Lollipop
This roll features several seafood bites, with a spicy tuna and micro cilantro. The roll is topped with pan-seared scallops that offer a buttery texture with a slight sweetness that brings out the saltiness of the red tobiko. The sauce provides a hint of heat, garnished with an orchid and beds of sliced cucumber.
🥒 Vegetable Roll
This plant-based roll illustrates a medley of vegetables, including asparagus, cucumber, and carrot for a refreshing crunch, balanced by the smooth texture of the avocado. The rice is rolled with sesame seeds outside of the seaweed for a light bite.
🍝 Vegetable Hibachi
This dish offers a bed of brown yakisoba noodles that’s served hot, holding a savory flavor. The medley of vegetables include broccoli, cucumber, carrot, onion, and peppers. The food is not prepared in front of you like a typical hibachi restaurant in Orlando, though guests are free to peek at the Chef’s area if they’re craving a show.
🥩 Meat Lovers
This hearty dish is a yin-yang of land meat, featuring chicken and New York strip steak beside each other. The sauce coating the chicken holds a savory taste with a hint of sweetness, while the steak has a slight chew when ordered medium rare. The meat is served on a bed of vegetables, alongside fried rice.
The restaurant illustrates a Japanese lo-fi vibe through chill instrumental music with modern beats. The restaurant operates in a full service setting with tableside service and bar seating. Through these unprecedented times, team members are masked and guests are encouraged to social distance.
If you’re a local looking to indulge in hot hibachi without a joking chef setting fires in front of you, Maki Hibachi’s newest location offers the dishes you’re looking for within an elegant ambiance!
