About A1 Japanese Steak House

A1 Japanese Steak House is a restaurant located at 3300 Lehigh St, Allentown, PA 18103, USA. While categorized under Chinese Restaurants, customer reviews indicate it is a Japanese steak house offering both hibachi and regular dining options. They can be contacted at (610) 709-0998 or +1 610-709-0998.

One customer who has visited multiple times and usually sticks to the hibachi side recently tried the regular dining area with their wife and had a positive experience. They shared the Scorpion drink, which they found "fantastic," with a particularly enjoyable "dramatic fire in the center." For their meals, the wife ordered the hibachi steak and shrimp, while the reviewer had the Fantastic Roll and Shrimp Yaki Udon. They described everything as "incredibly flavorful" and expressed eagerness to return to try the hibachi grill again based on this positive experience in the regular dining area.

However, another customer had a significantly negative experience. Upon being seated at the hibachi tables, they found them to be dirty (pictures were reportedly attached to their review). Despite initial reservations, they stayed for their children. Their steak, ordered well done, was still "very pink inside." The rice was only partially mixed with the teriyaki sauce. They found their cook to be unfriendly and felt they did not deserve a tip. Additionally, their bill included drinks they did not order, which was later corrected. This customer stated they do not see themselves returning due to major concerns about the restaurant's cleanliness and strongly advised against visiting.

Based on these reviews, A1 Japanese Steak House in Allentown, PA, offers a mixed experience. Some customers have found the food in the regular dining area to be incredibly flavorful and the Scorpion drink to be a highlight. However, there are serious concerns raised about the cleanliness of the hibachi area and inconsistencies in food preparation and service by at least one customer. Potential local users should weigh these contrasting experiences when considering dining at this establishment.

The environment includes both a regular dining area and hibachi tables. Services include table service in both areas, with hibachi cooking as a feature at those tables. A notable feature mentioned is the Scorpion drink with a fire display. However, cleanliness of the hibachi tables is a significant concern raised by one reviewer. No specific promotional information is available in the provided text.

I've visited A1 Japanese Steakhouse a few times over the years and typically stick to the hibachi side, but tonight, my wife and I decided to try the regular dining area. We started by sharing the Scorpion drink, which was fantastic—my wife especially loved the dramatic fire in the center. For dinner, she ordered the hibachi steak and shrimp while I opted for the aptly named Fantastic Roll and Shrimp Yaki Udon. Everything was incredibly flavorful, and the experience left me eager to return to try the hibachi grill again.

Unfortunately, I ate here. As soon as we got into the restaurant and they sat us down, I was ready to leave. I decided to stay & give it a shot for the kids. The pics attached will show how dirty the hibachi tables were prior to us sitting down to eat. I asked for my steak well done & it was still very pink inside. The rice was only half way done with the teriyaki sauce. Our cook didn’t seem very friendly and stood around afterwards for a tip, when he clearly did not deserve it from my group. The bill comes and they added drinks we did not order, they did go back to correct it. Honestly, I don’t see myself returning. My major concern is the cleanliness of this restaurant. I am glad I didn’t find anything crawling around. Do not recommend !

This is such an amazing Japanese steak house. Their bento boxes are absolutely fantastic and their udon noodles are to die for. This has become one of my favorites places to come for dinner. Their staff is always very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

The food was great and our cook was great. I’m giving 4 stars because they took along time to even come over and take our drink orders. We had to flag someone down to get refills and they seriously rushed us out after the cook was done. I maybe took 6 bites before the cleaning people were there trying to clean up and set up for the next group. I understand that it’s a Saturday and they were busy but no one should have to rush to eat when paying. It took longer for them to even come service us then they gave us to eat.

The restaurant has been remodeled with new ownership. They offer sushi and other Japanese cuisine and hibachi. Food and service is good and seating is comfortable and they have a nice bar and drink options. Prices are about the same as with other similar restaurants depending on what is ordered. Hibachi tables seem to be busy and popular. Tables and booths are available in the dining area.
