New York, NY, February 10, 2025 – Quickway Japanese Hibachi, known for hibachi prepared fresh on an open grill, is entering New York Metro with signed leases for three New York City locations.

“We’re excited to bring our cooked fresh-to-order cuisine to New York,” said Bob Liang, founder and CEO of Quickway Japanese Hibachi. “The area demographics and our target audience are well-aligned. We look forward to giving New Yorkers tasty, healthy food made with fresh ingredients, homemade sauces, no trans fat, no MSG, and reduced salt.”
Quickway Japanese Hibachi opened in 2012. The fast-casual restaurant chain serves hibachi, sushi, sides, salads, bento boxes, and poke bowls, with fresh ingredients and homemade sauces. They currently have over 50 locations open in Virginia (where they’re headquartered), Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Washington D.C., and are expanding into New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.
Quickway Japanese Hibachi is seeking additional sites (900 – 2,000 SF) in well-anchored centers with strong visibility, high traffic counts, and convenient parking access.
