Very good service and delicious food.
my lunch was warm rather than the normal hot. A little too much salt in my chicken with mushrooms
Hibachi section is a little small, but the food is absolutely delicious! I so recommend this restaurant.
Great food and service
The food is very good as well as the chef, and atmosphere
Friendly, attentive service. Good food
The chef/entertainment wasn’t really into it. Very blah and robotic. Like he didn’t want to even be there.
Everything was amazing from beginning to end.
Food was very good and prepared as asked.

Good food and service!
My husband and I had a date night today, and it was our first time eating at the Hibachi restaurant. We were extremely amazed and please with the food. We really enjoyed the chef cooking our food right in front of our eyes, it was awesome!!! I totally recommend this restaurant to everyone!! Thank you!
The food is always consistent and good. The chips and salsa are some of the best we have ever had. They have a salsa bar, so you can flavor it up even more. A+
the chef was very pleasant and entertaining,we had a blast.

Service was great an chef was very entertaining.
The food was delicious and portions very good. the service was excellent!
lovely music. We ate in sushi section upstairs. food delicious, excellent waiter, lovely decor. quiet ambiance which is what we like. May not be good for seniors as there is a full flight of stairs to sushi section. only hibachi is at street level.
Good food. OK ambiance. Don't approve the automatic 20% tip, which the waiter didn't mention.
great service and food as always...
Fun little restaurant...don't expect the large Hibachi grills in Brooklyn and Long Island, but the size of the restaurant will allow you to interact with the staff easier than a larger restaurant. The Hibachi had an hour wait, so we ate at the Sushi bar and ordered the Hibachi entrée from there. All the food was done well and the service was great. Definitely a local restaurant. I'd also recommend as a stop before or after visiting the Jamaica Wildlife Refuge in Broad Channel or a day at Rockaway Beach.
Service was poor. They need to hire an extra server during weekends.
Great food and service

Good Mexican "diner". Close to home.
Great service, great food and we always enjoy the experience at El Pobre.
It was just OK.
The taco salad had too much moisture in the bottom. This could be prevented with the use of a salad spiner.
Have never had a bad experience at El Pobre. Great Mexican food!
Server was excellent!! Food was too. We will be back.

The food and service here were very enjoyable.We were extremely happy with our meals and will definitely go back. The place is clean but not fancy, so don't expect linen tablecloths, just a great eat.
