Well considering his other properties are:

Shot Stop
Bomb Bar
Ale House

I would say it won't even be a competition.

it's almost like nobody else is even trying. i haven't wanted to bring it up and even feel bad doing so, but hibachi's quality has slipped over the past year or so.  :frown:

Hibachi has seemed about the same to me. :dunno: I like the new setup since they got rid of Texas Star and moved the bar to the other side.

Yeah, the last good food addition to aggieville was the aj's extension. Doughboys is crap, cozy inn is meh, tasty china house will not only be awful, its totally unnecessary. Kaws will no doubt be bad.

I know hibachi isn't as good since the new owners took over, I'm not a dumbass.  Its something I've been trying to internalize since our summer meal there.

i can't really say what i want to say without it coming out kind of mean and i don't want to so here goes...


i like hibachi. if you gave me five or six restaurants in mhk, they would be there. it just used to be better.


i don't disagree that they've done nice things to the place. it's just kind of sterile now and part of what i liked about hibachi back was that it was the opposite of that. that's about as nice as i can be. also, the quality seemed to be a little off the last few times i ate there. could've just been a bad kitchen day. i've probably eaten in aggieville twenty times in the last three months and i've gone there probably four of the times, so it's not like i hate them now or something. still good and i'll continue to go.


i also really think they should've kept hibachi as hibachi and turned t-star into a place that people would want to go to. seems like they said "hmmm, hibachi does decent. tstar doesn't. let's make it all hibachi". so long didn't double their space and make a so long back yard. they made an entirely new restaurant and called it taco lucha. it will absolutely kill. hibachi should've done that. be foreward thinking. be innovative. make it nice. make it interesting. find/create a niche. it's freaking aggieville, the niche doesn't have to be all that good or even all that innovative. taco lucha isn't some crazy idea. it's been done a million places. just not in aggieville and it's a good aggieville concept.


add that new bar that they did, but keep the hibachi bar as well. you want people drinking and you want them staying late into the night and drinking. nobody is going to do that in the new hibachi hut cavern. you want it to be exclusive. you wan't to have people wait to get a table (more exclusive/more booze ordering). don't penny pinch here and there and everywhere. takes money to make money. basically all that stuff. i think they are cutting corners in some ways w/ their current business and missed a good oppy to do something better.

Aggieville idea:  pink taco

love it. let's try and open it up by getting people to pitch in money and then donate a percentage of sales to ksuwildcats. also, sorry to all for my long hibachi post. i am to aggieville restaurants as panjandrum is to conference realignment and deep down i care about the hut a lot.  :frown:
