The few Japanese restaurants in Merced generally have menus limited to fish that can retain its flavor after being transported to the Central Valley. This is true in the case of Hibachi Grill, a buffet located on Olive Avenue consisting of Japanese, Chinese, and some American fare.
The restaurant is fairly large and comfortable, with efficient and friendly service. The music playing is soft classical piano; fans of Pachelbel's Canon and Bird Song will find the soundtrack excellent.
