Food was great, portions are huge! José was our chef and he was amazing — very funny and great with the kids. We will definitely visit again!

WOW… House of Japan near Polaris Mall in Columbus, Ohio was absolutely packed for Mother’s Day, but they still had us seated in about 30 minutes which was impressive with how busy they were. The hibachi experience was phenomenal. Watching the chef cook everything fresh right in front of us made it a fun experience instead of just dinner. I ordered the filet mignon cooked medium and it came out perfect. Great food, great atmosphere, generous portions, and the staff kept things moving smoothly even with the crowd. If you’re in the Columbus area and want a fun dinner spot, House of Japan at Polaris is definitely worth checking out.

They were under construction which was upsetting because I loved the old atmosphere server was kind habachi chef seemed stressed out food was extremely overcooked and we had to leave so unfortunate this place was my favorite a couple years ago :(

Nice place near Polaris. Very open seating, they packed as many grills in as small space as they could so it feels a bit cramped. Service was a bit lacking, waiter got my drink rkder wrong after checking back three times. Busboy took away my requested bowl for rice and had a bit of a fiasco to get another. Food and chef were on point at least. Generous portions. Very entertaining chef. Food was cook just right and seasoning was great too!

I have been dining at this Japanese restaurant for the past ten years, and it has remained one of my favorite places for both sushi and Hibachi. Over the years, I have watched it maintain a consistent level of quality in its food, and the chefs—especially those at the Hibachi tables—continue to impress with their skill, presentation, and friendly energy. Whether you are watching a chef expertly cook steak and shrimp right in front of you or enjoying beautifully crafted sushi rolls, the craftsmanship is evident in every dish. The sushi here is always fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Classic rolls are executed perfectly, and their specialty rolls consistently offer a great balance of texture and taste. The Hibachi experience is equally memorable. The chefs combine showmanship with precision, and the portions are generous. The flavors are rich without being overpowering, and the vegetables, rice, and proteins are cooked to an ideal tenderness. What truly stands out after a decade of visits is the restaurant’s commitment to maintaining its standards. The staff is generally attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere is warm, family-friendly, and lively—especially around t
