A popular Columbia hibachi restaurant that previously closed returns in new spot
A restaurant offering a host of Asian flavors has returned to the Midlands dining scene.
Mikino’s, which offers hibachi dishes, pho and more, opened its doors on June 20 at 662 St. Andrews Road in Columbia. That’s just west of Interstate 26, across the street from the US Foods Chef’s Store. The Mikino’s is located in a building that formerly was home to a Maurice’s BBQ.
Mikino’s used to be located a few miles away at 6169 St. Andrews Road, but closed that location about two years ago. The new location at 662 St. Andrews has been teased for months, with flags out front announcing that it was coming soon. There are now flags and signs in front of the business trumpeting that it is open.
The June 20 opening of the new Mikino’s spot was met with great fanfare, with posts on the popular Columbia Foodies Facebook page showing customers heading to the restaurant the moment it opened its doors.
The restaurant offers takeout service and online orders can be made at mikinos.net. It also has a small dining room with several tables. Hours posted on the door indicate Mikino’s is open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and for dinner from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
The Mikinos menu including a host of hibachi plates, including teriyaki chicken, teriyaki steak and teriyaki shrimp, among others. They also have Vietnamese dishes, such as chicken pho and beef pho, as well as Thai offerings including pad thai, red curry, pepper steak and more.
