Choice Hibachi Buffet, American buffet restaurant on Wards Road, Lynchburg, United States.
Choice Hibachi Buffet is an all-you-can-eat restaurant in Lynchburg, Virginia, serving a wide range of American and Asian dishes from long serving counters. The dining room also has hibachi stations where cooks prepare food on hot iron griddles in full view of guests.
The restaurant opened on Wards Road near River Ridge Mall, targeting families and groups looking for a casual dining option in the area. It has since become a familiar name in Lynchburg's local dining scene.
The restaurant combines traditional American comfort food with international cuisine, offering pizza alongside sushi and St Louis style ribs.
Guests can serve themselves from the buffet or order a dish cooked to order at a hibachi station, so it is worth deciding in advance how you want to eat. Arriving a little early, especially on weekends, gives you the best choice at the buffet counters.
The word hibachi originally refers to a Japanese heating vessel, but in the United States it has come to describe the style of cooking on a flat iron griddle in front of guests, which is technically closer to teppanyaki. This mix-up in naming is something visitors from Japan often find surprising when they first encounter an American hibachi restaurant.
