Best hibachi spot in lumberton hands down! I always get the Samari special and they usually are pretty busy most days a plate is almost $20 but you get a pretty good amount of food on it.

This place is a gem! For many years Lumberton has been a coffee and food stop on the drive between DC and Myrtle Beach. Most of of the food is ok, fast food and so-so chain restaurants. Kami's hibachi scallops was the real thing! Delicious fresh scallops and tasty vegetables with rice. Also very friendly and helpful service. Very happy to discover this place!
