One of our favorite go-to places foe goo, quality food fast. Most of the time we like to dine-in and eat fresh. It's a nice surprise to get a complimentary cup of soup or salad and even though they are not a full service restaurant, they bring the food/appetizers out to you and check on you periodically. We've been going here for 4 years now and definitely will continue to. Keep up the good work guys!

We've been waiting for Ashi Express to open... Passing the construction every day. Let me tell y'all, it was worth the wait!!! I had the Teriyaki chicken w/ broccoli. It's delicious, very economical and the people that work there are amazing! I had to make myself stop eating, it was that good! Maryville needed Ashi Express, I'll be a dedicated patron, thank you!!

The staff was friendly and helpful! The food was delicious and they give you plenty. My wife and I could have split a plate and it would have been more than enough. We will be back even though it is about 80 miles from our house. We had calamari (which was hot and tender) along with teriyaki shrimp. All of it was delicious

Stopped yesterday while in Maryville and having a craving for hibachi and felt the prices were very reasonable considering other restaurants we’ve visited recently. We were there mid afternoon and it wasn’t very busy at all. We had our food about five minutes after ordering it and everything was fresh and hot. I loved that we got a choir of the vegetable that came with our plates. We all really enjoyed our meals and will return!

FIVE STAR ALL AROUND! The food is FRESH, and the taste is amazing!! Worth every penny, they don’t charge much but give you big portions! Their veggies are perfectly cooked. The carrot specifically has an amazing taste, I imagine they saute it in a buttery sauce before adding it to this dish.

Great place, clean and friendly service. Order like fast food but they bring it to your table. They even come back to check on you and refill your drink. The Hibachi steak with mushrooms was very good. The carrots were sweet and the rice was perfect add the shrimp sauce to your rice for a treat. Fast and freshly cooked. We will go back here. Edit: I've gotten takeout many times here and they are always fresh and people are friendly.

Large portions, steaming hot when served, very fast service, and beautiful on the plate. We love that you can substitute vegetables in the mean, too! Great for leftovers and a pre-movie meal. Atmosphere conducive to an intimate conversation.
