Phan's Japanese Express - Japanese restaurant in Boone - 1856 North Carolina Hwy 105 Bypass, USA

Just came back from hiking, looking for food, so we give it a try. It's so good. Mrs. Phan is very friendly and warm. I ordered yakiniku broccoli and soup.

I was really excited to try this place out since it was always closed when I’d drive past. The owner was incredibly sweet and kind. She was clearly very proud of her food, her spring rolls in particular, so I ordered two spring rolls. I also got the chicken and steak hibachi and a drink. I spent around $25 in total, not cheap at all, especially when you consider the portions are very small. The hibachi is $17 and you’re not getting enough to even make that price worth it. I was willing to put the price aside and was just looking forward to the food. The rolls were amazing and her homemade sauce was incredible. But the chicken in my hibachi was RAW. I had eaten some before I noticed. I got food poisoning from this place. This $25 food was soooo not worth it and raw chicken really put me over the top.

Amazing food! Looking forward to going back.

amazing food! be aware though, the sizes are smaller than some of the cheaper asian places, but it’s well worth it!! the owner is amazing and everyone i’ve ever met at the truck was pleasant! love this place! also- super accommodating with my food allergies

I was traveling through town for work. I saw some rave reviews on this little food truck. I went there to get my dinner and I am so glad I did. It is not where you would expect to see a food truck but I have to say it exceeded my expectations. First of all the sweet lady working in the truck was one of the sweetest people I have ever seen. She was so pleasant. The food was absolutely delicious and she made sure I had everything I needed since I was staying in a hotel. Please support this lady. What a sweetheart!

Best hibachi in all of boone!!!! The owner is the warmest lady I’ve ever met and the food is wonderful. I’m not usually a fan of steak in my hibachi but Phan’s is too good to resist! The portions are also pretty big especially with the combinations, i always have leftovers for the next day :)

I hate to write this review because the food was good and the owner is so nice. But the portions are sooooooo small. The trays aren’t deep. I noticed it the second I picked up the tray (it felt really light). Asian food is usually a really good value but I feel like I got ripped off. And when they don’t have the overhead of a normal retail establishment it’s just kinda inexcusable to cheat people. We’re mostly talking about rice here. Probably the cheapest food ingredient.

Lovely place with delicious food and a wonderfully friendly owner. My hibachi was fantastic. My only suggestion would be to up the portion sizes as they are a little bit small :) but as for everything else, don't change a thing!
