Stick Talk Cajun-Hibachi

This review is my experience of Late May 2024!! Past 1:00 AM, the parking lot may appear dim, but the white interior and internal lighting provide guidance. Upon arrival, my companion and I were not acknowledged by the two employees present. However, the rowdy group of girls who entered after us received a warm greeting. After examining the menu, we observed that the prices of this establishment were steep. Despite the lackluster customer service, the distinctive Cajun hibachi meal was enjoyable. My fiancé's addition of crawfish to his hibachi prompted a twinge of jealousy on my part. While the portion size was generous, I found the $50 price tag for a hibachi bowl hard to swallow. I do intend to revisit this establishment to explore more budget-friendly options.

I want be back they use to serve food on a plate giving you your money worth. As you see on picture order 2 of these small to go containers that’s worth $12 of portion in it I paid $80. This pic makes the bowl look bigger than what it was. The manager wasn’t friendly & worker asked him could he help her bring food to a table with a large family he told her No & that was rude to me. The young lady was nice she said hi & bye and that’s it. They customer service could be better. Midtown customer service was good just parking lot is the size of the palm of my hand. My chicken was very salty & the taste has went down from previous visits. I’ll just go back to my old hibachi spot that’s reasonably with great portions.

The worst Hibachi Ive ever, had. I want to cry I need my money back ASAP. 40.00 dollars for trash . The rice was not fried rice it was white rice with maybe some soy sauce. Clumps, of white rice reained. They were dtale and hard. It was bland and had no peas or carrots . The Filet was chopped into small pieces , you could tell by the portion it was not good quality .it was stringy like braised. Beef and spicy like a pepper spice. They didnt ask temp so i thought it would come med. I worked in resturants my whole life. So I guess thats on me for not calling to confirm temp, it was rock hard. Well done plus. I added yum yum sauce they sent garlic butter. Calling tomorrow my partner wad at work so i had to order . So dissapointed veggies soggy no flavor inedible.

Kahlyn was theeee best server. The food was good and the vibes were nice. Will definitely be back just for Kahlyn. Oh she’s pretty too. ;)

First time at this place and I was very disappointed. Almost $40 for a bowl that looks like it should be $12. Bad sewer smell. My chicken was dry and I will not be back.

Ok straight to it- 1. Dry steak and extremely dry salmon. 2. Salty is an understatement 3. Customer service - stating that it is mediocre is being far too kind. We placed an order online and I called right after confirmation to make note of how I’d like my salmon and steak prepared. Please see photos! I called once home (12 minutes away) to make them aware this was unsatisfactory and was told i had to return the next day with a receipt to show the GM and it would be taken care of. Next day- Called to verify before headed back to the restaurant I was told a completely different story by the same individual who started we would have no issues as long as we had a receipt. They offered to refund half- ABSOLUTELY NOT it’s already over priced for the protein portions! I just wanted fresh food that didn’t taste like salted cardboard. They did remake the dish and it came out the exact same… dry and unsatisfactory. I was too frustrated to complain, I will just no longer be a patron. I enjoyed them when they first opened I am not sure what changed. But returning I will not nor refer. I am a small fish but hopefully they see this and change something for future guests.

The food was really good. The combination rice was the best ! Services was really decent , wasn’t allowed to turn the tv to football which was confusing cause other TVs had football on. Customer service was great ! They bought me out a drink for my birthday.

Duo Double shrimp and chicken, fried rice, vegetable. Yummy! My daughter found this place on Instagram 😻. The food was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. Everything was seasoned well. The portions are huge. The staff were sweet and hospitable to everyone that came in. Every bite I took was so tasty. The Lemonade was refreshing not too tart and not too sweet but just right. My daughter had a Duo Double chicken and Salmon. She said ,"Mom the salmon tastes like yours". I tasted the Salmon it was a little bit better than mine 😂. It was great! I enjoyed myself. I ate my food two times that night because the portion was hefty and I appreciate it. We will be back! Thank you💗

Started our Friday night here for dinner. We shared a large chicken and shrimp hibachi meal and got frozen drinks which were half off for happy hour! What we ordered *shrimp add chicken large entree *soy garlic sauce *spicy garlic butter sauce *ask for Mari (or her homegirl whose name escapes us) sorry friend! We will be back for sure!

TRASH!!! Do not waste your money here pls Horrible parking! We parked in an unmarked spot along with another car and once inside we got told to move even though there was no marking saying no parking here which the manager said there was..... We ordered drinks and the server only brought one. We asked 20 min later what's wrong with the other?...he said he forgot. They only checked on us twice. Food came out super late, about 30-35 min late so we were late to our movie after. The manager was going around asking every table how was their food but would skip ours LOL or he was just standing there on his phone as if he were making important calls even though we called him over he looked straight at me and ignored us. Food was bland, I added 2 packets of salt and still tasted mid. We did get to take our drinks to go though, the fruit loops was good. When we get the check, I see they added their own 20% SERVICE FEE LMAooooooo, for what??? Never again returning!!!!!

From start to finish wasn't a pleasant experience. We had read mixed reviews online but the food sounded good so we wanted to give it a try. We went for a belated birthday dinner, small group (3 people) just to catch up and have good food. When we walked in no one greeted us, told us to sit or anything. Once we were finally helped they asked for our food and every question we had seemed like a chore to answer for them. No suggestions, no conversation, very bland. When we finally sat down (helped ourselves after we ordered at the cash register) no one brought silverware or water or asked us if we needed anything. Turns out they assumed we ordered to go and just brought it out in bags. We ate there, food was subpar and honestly overall a bad experience. Maybe it'd be decent UberEats food if the price wasn't outrageous for the quality.

Food was pretty good; the service was okay was not greeted when we came in, so we were a little confused. Dope little ambiance & vibes though

Second time going by today . Place had just opened so wasn't many folks present, parking lot onsite open (parking is small and shared with the car wash and stick talk hookah patio) By the time I sat down after ordering people coming in quickly. Last visit I had the salmon this time decided to go with the ribeye noodles and veggies with the yum yum sauce was delightful overall. For my palate meal was a bit salty but tolerable. Yes it can be a little greasy for some but just watch your food intake for the rest of the day or exercise it off later lol.... I'd likely request to cut back on my seasoning/salt next time I order. I'll definitely be back though.

This is my second time trying the Richmond location. On my first visit I wasn't informed that there was a lunch (smaller) option until I saw the sign after I had my meal. I just took the rest home for leftovers. My second visit was after lunch hours so I couldn't get it then either. Both times the service was good & fast. They keep the place nice and clean and there is a hookah lounge attached, in addition to the carwash. For me, Im not fond of the taste and how greasy it is. The sauce doesn't cover enough of the large portion, but it's not my favorite either. Their lemonades can be too tart or syrupy, not a good refreshing balance.

My sister invited me to lunch to try Stick Talk Cajun Hibachi; she's a repeat customer. If you are expecting a typical hibachi grill experience (food prepared hibachi style at your table) note, this is not that type of eatery. The establishment and bathrooms were clean, there are enough tables inside to seat about 20-25 customers and there's an outside area which is like a converted garage (space for around 25-30). We sat outside because the inside was very cold. However, on a Saturday afternoon they had a decent number of customers, we did have to wait a bit to order but the food came out fairly quickly (10-15 minutes max). I ordered the Double Up Combo with Shrimp & Salmon (extra $3) noodles and veggies and Spicy Cajun Garlic sauce. For the price of $33 for the combo it was a good portion size, I was able to bring home leftovers. They also serve desserts, soda, and alcoholic beverages such as frozen drinks. As for the flavor, it wasn't as Cajun as I was hoping for, but it was a good meal. My only drawback is when I think of hibachi I would expect my veggies to look as if they were seared/grilled, however, they were perfectly cooked. I live in The Woodlands and this location was 50 minutes away, so I wouldn't say I would frequent this location but if I'm in that area I wouldn't mind stopping in to try other items. Lastly, it is connected with a carwash detail so you can have lunch and get your vehicle cleaned.

I ordered the stick talk combo with noodles online - it was $45. The food was delicious and the sauces were tasty. Great quality food, I loved it. The only thing is that I paid $45 for shrimp, ribeye, and chicken, and the plate only came with like 4 shrimp. I kind of thought that sucked. My friend ordered the same thing and she got 3 shrimp and barely any vegetables. Food was 9/10 but the portions weren't consistent.

Very excited to go experience only to be so disappointed. Ordered food and 30 plus minutes later food arrives for others except me. Waitress says seafood boil is done . So I reorder another plate . By then everyone has finished eating , waitress says there's a big party so there's more delay , she then brings food and it's the wrong thing. Two hours waiting and left with no food for myself . They still charged a 20 % service fee , even though 2 people didn't get to eat. Waitress did offer to wait for another meal . By then I was just over the whole ordeal. No dinner for me or my partner. Horrible experience, over priced and no apology from manager ,solution or discount.

Upon arriving we thought it was just a car wash and we read the directions "order inside". We walk in, that's where we find a few people waiting for their food. The restaurant is pretty decent, nice size. I wouldn't call it cozy, it's more quaint- eat and leave (lol) they do have some good vibes music playing so that's pretty cool. My husband and I came at the end of the night, so it was like a "to go" order so to speak. Before ordering, the gentleman at the front was consumed in whatever he was doing he didn't speak for a few minutes, which was a bit rude but we brushed it off when he started talking to us about our order. We ordered the shrimp entree it came with a yum yum sauce of your choosing, I think it's like 7 kinds which in my opinion was tasty and salty AF as well, hence the 3 stars for me. Hubby's viewpoint is a bit different, he enjoyed it as well maybe more than I did but also mentioned the salt level was a bit much. What would bring me back? The late hours of course and to try the salmon entree next time. :)

Came into Stick Talk Cajun Hibachi with my date, all hyped up after catching a drool-worthy video on Insta. I was ready for some mind-blowing flavors that would have us talking about this meal for days. The place had a decent crowd, and the beats in the background were setting a pretty chill vibe. But let's talk about the food. It was alright, but it didn't knock my socks off like I thought it would. My date? She wasn't feeling it either. Didn't even finish her plate. And the service... well, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. The cashier wasn't exactly rude, but she was chomping on some ice and decided to spit it out right by her register - yeah, not cool, especially since my date saw the whole thing. So, yeah, the experience was a bit of a letdown. Was expecting those flavors to pop, but it was more of a fizzle. Maybe we caught them on an off day?

Decided to grab some hibachi today and support another BO resturant. Took us a little minute to find it, but we finally did inside the Drip car wash. Free parking. When we walked in it was a cute hookah lounge. My expectations may be a little too high because I just wanted the workers to be welcoming, smiling, or just looking like they wanted to be at work...but maybe it was a bad day. The bowls were pretty good and came out smoking hot which is a plus. The lemonade was pretty good as well. However they were a little pricey. If we ever decide to return hopefully the service will be a little better cause that makes or breaks my experiences.

Ordered the combination plate to go and it did not disappoint! The spicy yum yum sauce was really good. I wouldn't say it was "spicy", it tasted like regular yum yum sauce to me. The summer sauce was okay- I most likely would not get it again, it tasted more like Tabasco than habanero as advertised. However, not bad. The service was great! The guy taking my order was very friendly and informative of the menu and helped make suggestions. The building is a nice, clean space- it seems to be new which is always a plus. If you're into hookah they have a seating area/extra tables separate from where you order

Absolutely work the drive to this restaurant. The ambiance was amazing, loved the welcoming decor. The food didn't take long to make and smelled delicious. The food was great, wish there were more vegetables than rice. Will definitely return and have my car detailed

Saturday @2pm Parking is not plentiful but for the time that I made it there, it was adequate. Terry took our order and was absolutely PHENOMENAL. He made great recommendations and explained the menu thoroughly. I ordered the stick talk combination, salmon, wings, fries, noodles, and the seafood egg rolls, with strawberry lemonade and a watermelon lemonade. Portion sizings are HUGE! This was all shared between 3 adults and 1 child. Their rice was the highlight of everything. They offer sauces that compliment it but it's delicious on its own. The combination is the way to go if you're hungry or looking to eat for the next 2 days from one meal. I love crispy wings and that's how they are served. Everything was fresh from the kitchen, so it was all hot on arrival. They don't have plates. Everything is packaged in plastic takeaway containers. The seafood egg rolls were a hit with little man. He ate those without struggle. He was not a fan of the salmon. The noodles were also savory. They went well with the salmon when paired together. One warning is the watermelon lemonade is strong with flavoring. We watered down. I will be back!

Pros: The food has improved since my first visit. Cons: their Instagram page states they have a lunch special. I drove across town to take advantage of it, only to be told upon my arrival, they no longer offer it. I wish I would have known this information before making the drive. I did not plan to write this review but after discovering my above comment was deleted from their Instagram page while the lunch special post still remained, I felt it was only right to bring the issue to Yelp! I believe this is an example of a deceptive business practice and it must be addressed!

I really love the menu. Everything is so easy to order. It comes out very fast. The chef also is very good about greeting people. I really did appreciate the wait staff. They will explain the menu to you and they're very friendly.

This is one of my favorite grab and go Hibachi restaurants. Food is seasoned well and the yum yum sauce Is a nice touch. There is an option to dine in. They also sell prepackaged desserts and drinks (alcohol and non alcohol).

I and my wife had dinner here on a Friday night at about 10 pm and got a table with no problem. The restaurant is nice on the inside, the music isn't loud, and the food is legit. Our waitress's name was Sasha, I believe, but she was very attentive! The food had flavor, and the sauce came on the side. My only drawback was the plastic fork. I fully understand why they make sense from a business sense, but from a consumer sense, it's hard to eat the garlic pasta noodles. The drinks were cool, nothing, nothing out of the ordinary. I had 2 Margaritas, and my wife had two lemon drops. Needless to say, WE definitely WILL BE back and grab a seat at the bar!

Our flight landed late and the food options were limited. We found Stick Talk on TikTok and decided to give it a try. We ordered the mango and strawberry lemonade frozen drink and soo soo good. My Fiancé added a shot to his but it was still good without it. Definitely a sneaky drink. We ordered hookah also and headed out to the patio until our buzzer rung to pick up our food. Jade made our Watermelon Mint hookah and it was bomb. She was also really nice and made sure we were satisfied. The ambiance is cool. Even though the patio is outside there are many fans to keep you cool. For food we ordered the double up combo with shrimp and filet mignon. We chose rice and added noodles. Overall the food was good. It was very seasoned. I loved the shrimp and rice the most. I took away one star because the steak was tough. I have never had filet mignon that tough but it was seasoned well. I would definitely return.

A couple of times a year my family and I come from Dallas to Houston to go on a food tour. We saw a bomb video from their IG and decided to add it to our list. Never again. Like many of the reviews state (that I should've read before I came) the food is over priced for the type of quality we received. We don't mind paying for GOOD food, but this missed the mark. We got a little of everything on the menu. It was lukewarm, inconsistent rice textures, small amounts of protein, and just underwhelming. The place was clean and the cashier was friendly enough. That's why they get two stars. However, this is def not a place you should travel out of your way for. If you need a car wash and you live 5 minutes away, go for it. Just get something basic though, so you're not too disappointed.

Something new! I dropped in for lunch. It's tucked away next to a car wash. It is so good. Lots of choices and options for your dish. It's really good. Put it on your list to try!

The rice was super lackluster and bland. It lacked soy sauce or salt or something! It just tasted like rice and oil. And there was so much oil at the bottom of the bowl. It coated my lips, the bag and everything else. Even the shrimp were bland. The wait took forever, and it was expensive. I can do a better job at home, so I'll just do that.

Great food great service great vibe. The fusion is on point. Went two days in a row and it was awesome food and service each time

Was super excited about hibachi Cajun fuze however not worth it. 2 orders of combination shrimp and chicken fried rice was $103.00. They charge a $17.00 fee for I don't know what. We called to order over phone for pick up and they would not take over the phone ,so we drove there ordered for pick up and they charged $17.00 service fee. Beni Hana or any other Hibachi restaurant offers better service and more flavor. Portion sizes were decent but not very flavorful, food has no taste,sauces were not good either

The food tasted so fresh and I love the sauces! I definitely got the hibachi vibe even though I ordered pick - up.

We saw this on fox 26 news this morning, 8/14/24 and was exited about trying it. We drove to the Richmond location only to find out it was closed. The website showed it was open. We called the phone number and it too said it was open. Disappointed that we waisted gas and time. Please update your website so others won't waste time and gas. Thank you.

Worth Trying. Food very good. Only thing was my cashier had a lil a-ti-tude. Maybe she was tired but the first person your patrons see should have a better attitude than the cook. Nice hookah lounge/patio.

While the prices might be on the higher side, especially for dinner, they reflect the unique ambiance and the culinary skill (hibachi) in the dishes. Ideal for those who appreciate a lively atmosphere, the grill serves up a variety of meats cooked to perfection and served over rice - a hit with the younger crowd. For a more budget-friendly option, consider visiting during lunch hours. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, as it can exceed 30 minutes, but it's a testament to the grill's popularity in the Houston food scene. Mediocre at best.

After you get over the price shock, you'll get a really tasty bowl, but not worth the price. A chicken bowl is $25, it has a few veggies, rice (steamed or fried) and maybe 10 or 12 cubes of tasty chicken. Did I mention the bowl is $25. We also ordered the ribeye beef bowl, $30....it is tasty but again a lot of rice, not much on the veggies, and maybe 12 pieces of cut up beef. the Yum Yum sauce is great!! Good food but way overpriced. Too many other spots in Houston with good food like this half the price. As for parking, the Richmond location shares their space with a car wash, great idea actually! Parking can be an issue when the car wash is open.

First-time I visited this place of business. Very odd because I didn't notice any signs that's stated the. Ame of the business until I was at the counter looking at the menu.. There is a hook bar attached to the same building or maybe it's the same building. There was a lot of confusion going on. I also noticed a sign about coffee. Again, I don't know if its a hooka bar coffe shop, or food place.. Seating: Nice cozy lobby area. Loved the fireplace. Restrooms: Yes they have them, didn't go inside the restrooms. Wash area: Nice area right outside the restroom to wash your hands. Price: Decent pricing. Some items a little pricy but overall ok. Quantity: They give you a good amount of food. Of you are not a Harty Ester you can e joy it twice or share with someone. Quality Food is nice and fresh. The salmon was very good and didn't taste fishy. The veggies were perfectly cooked and not overdone which keeps in the nutrients. Parking: In a parking lot. Look like a detail shop in the same lot.

My boyfriend actually ordered this for dinner for me thru door dash. I was super excited for the hibachi bowl. I had the chicken plate which was okay. It was just a bit skimpy on the chicken pieces and didn't match the price in my opinion. The food also didn't have as much flavor. I'm not sure if it was because of delivery or if that's how the food usually is served. However, the sauces packed with the meal paired well to provide some flavor.

It's definitely not worth it! It's really salty with small portions. My wife and I ordered 2 small entrees with a 4 oz frozen drink for over $100.00. No vibe. We have had better hibachi for $15.00 @ the all you can eat sushi spot in Pearland. I think the owner was laughing at "US" as we walked out the door. I would miss this one H-Town!

I loved this place. The hibachi was perfectly seasoned and the service was great. Look at the portion size too, yummy...

Was looking forward to trying this place out, but fell way below the mark. Upon walking in we noticed 5-6 workers behind the bar talking amongst themselves. When finally addressed, not greeted, one worker pointed to a table we could sit at. After 5 minutes a worker dropped off menus. After another 5 minutes another worker dropped off waters to the table. After more time passed we decided to leave after not being attended to. Also we asked the table next to us about the food and they told us that they were still waiting for food because the kitchen was backed up. From my perspective the employees rather talk and hangout with on another vs engage with the patrons at their establishment. We never got a chance to order a drink, appetizer, and of course food. Never were we ever talked through our 15 plus minutes there, literally zero customer service skills.

The price of the combo is justifiable considering the amount of food you get. It's enough for two full meals. I didn't get the opportunity to try the lemonade maybe next time. The food is seasoned well a little too much salt but over all a good taste. I have ordered in person and online both times my experience was hassle free and quick.

I got the combo meal. The service was top notch. The lady that took my order knew her stuff and definitely made some great suggestions. I got the combo option with ribeye and shrimp. It was great. I was surprised to see that it was enough for me and my partner to share and still have some leftover. The best thing about it was it reheated so well. The ambiance was cool. Small, but cool. I didn't know why people were so crazy about this place. I felt like.... Tried one hibachi place, tried them all. I was wrong. I loved everything about this food. I did get the egg rolls and they were just ok. They were over cooked and hard to eat. However, the service and food was so good I still give it a 10 out of 10.

I cannot say this enough. This place is soooo good. I've ordered from them two times in three days. Forget hibachi at benihanas. The rice is bland there. THIS rice though, is so flavorful. Top it off with either chicken or the rib eye, and you're golden. Don't even share with anyone. They only give u small portions of their sauce if you pay an extra $1 via UberEATS BUT it's so good u don't even need the sauce! The yum yum and spicy garlic are the best but then again, I haven't tried the others. I've hyped this place up to min 4 ppl and I got them drooling and pissed off at me cause they are jealous. I think they are a bit pricey but idgaf. They r legit.

One pro is they are open late . I went there on a Sunday night after Sunday funday . It took about 50 minutes for my food. I'm not sure why because others that I order with already had there food . The food looks amazing but was underwhelming for me and a tad over seasoned . I asked if the steak came well done automatically and the cashier was new and double checked and she said it comes medium unless requested otherwise . I did want mine medium and I received that. Not sure I'll be returning but if it's late and you're in the area , give them a try .

The food is salty, not so flavorful. The shrimp is the type of farmed shrimp that is more clear than opaque no matter how long you cook it and doesn't taste like shrimp at all lol. I'm pescetarian and I could not eat that shrimp. The food looked great, didn't taste great. The sauces didn't do anything for the food. The best part of the meal is the grilled veggies. I won't completely write stick off, try it for yourself. It's a place I would go to for late night eats and probably just get the crawfish, veggies, and rice. And sometimes with food trucks, the taste is not consistent.

Hot garbage. Never coming back. Paid over $40 for mediocre food. McDonald's would have been an upgrade.

Hibachi in a car wash is the combination none of us knew we needed. The food was fresh and distracted me from the 2 hour wash and detail services I was having done. Very huge portion sizes of veggies and stir fried rice to compliment the Cajun salmon. I wish the sauce containers were bigger otherwise they should give away the itty bitty ones for free.

Great Food & Customer Service!!! I got the Double Up Combo Ribeye/Shrimp, Wings, Tempura Shrimp, & Seafood Eggrolls....‼‼‼‼

Food is A1 and your portion is big for the price. You can literally eat on it for two days.Everything was delicious and seasoned to perfection including the veggies . Will be returning asap ! & don't forget to add a spicy yum yum sauce better than the spicy garlic

Tried this place out a few weeks ago and it was amazing. If you like hibachi style chicken with cajun flavoring this is it.

One of my favorite places to eat but since it can take a minute to look I try to order it online each time it will Never work and when you call the flat out won't take an order over the phone and then the same lady at the front will hang up on you. Just doesn't have the nicest attitude when you come in. Which sucks because I love the place and the food but someone would should address the customer service and attitude you receive.

Had stick talk today in Richmond. Like most people are saying - very clean and service was good. However I ordered what I was seeing all over Instagram and what people are talking about. SUPER bland. Not really any flavor at all. Was extremely disappointed.

Finally made it over to stick talk after having it bookmarked for a while. Their food truck is open 3p until while their brick and mortar opens at 12. It's inside Drip coffee. The menu is large which I love the variety! I decided to go with the chicken and lobster sauce of choice...yum yum sauce. The food was fresh, large portions, and seasoned just right (I hate overly seasoned food) the staff was nice and helped of you had any questions. I also tried their strawberry lemonade(made in house). It was delicious. All in all stick talk is worth the price.

Great amount of food. Came out quickly just make sure they give you a good portion of your meat
