Satoshi Japanese Kitchen Brings 100% True Hibachi to Bonham — With a Local Twist

The owners of Hashi Hashi, the popular Hibachi food truck that first made waves in Broken Bow, Oklahoma back in 2017, have expanded — and the buzz in Bonham is real. After countless customers urged them to open a local location, they finally made it happen.
One of the owners, a Collin County resident who regularly passed through Bonham, kept a lookout for the right opportunity. When a building finally became available, the timing aligned. Together with their business partners— and with the original truck still operating — they launched their first brick-and-mortar restaurant: Satoshi Japanese Kitchen last week.

I had the chance to get a behind-the-scenes preview before opening day, and let me tell you: this place is bringing 100% true hibachi and sushi-grade freshness to Bonham. No shortcuts, no compromises.
From tender filet mignon and juicy chicken teriyaki to grilled shrimp and salmon, every hibachi entrée is cooked to order, and the flavors are bold. Generous portions are paired with your choice of fried rice, noodles, or steamed rice — plus a vibrant mix of veggies. Nothing sits under a heat lamp. A dedicated hibachi chef prepares each meal as the order comes in — and it shows.

Satoshi leans into a fast-casual, efficiency-first approach. Even dine-in orders are served in to-go containers — a smart move for those wanting restaurant-quality food on a tight schedule. You can dine in, call ahead for takeout, and soon, they’ll offer both DoorDash delivery and a drive-thru option coming soon.
Behind the sushi counter is a skilled chef crafting fresh, flavorful rolls with true sushi-grade fish — and it makes all the difference. High-quality salmon and tuna should never taste "fishy" — just clean, buttery, and rich. Satoshi delivers exactly that.
Customizing your roll? No problem. Add what you want, skip what you don’t — they’ll make it just right.
This isn’t just a generic expansion — it’s personal. Two signature rolls, the Bonham Roll and the Fannin Roll, are named for the community. Bonham is home base for the team, and while a Frisco location is on the horizon, this first stop clearly means something — and you can feel that in every bite.

With fresh ingredients, bold flavor, and a deep tie to the local community, Satoshi Japanese Kitchen isn’t just a new place to eat — it’s a standout addition to the Fannin County food scene.
What I Ordered — and Loved
Steak & Shrimp Hibachi with Fried Rice and Vegetables
Every element was on point. The steak was cooked medium rare — juicy and seasoned with that signature hibachi flavor. The shrimp were plump, tender, and naturally sweet. The fried rice was rich and satisfying, and the vegetables had just the right char without losing their crispness. The portion? Generous. The combination of textures and flavors? Spot on.
Satoshi Roll
Spicy tuna, avocado, and cream cheese, topped with seared salmon and spicy mayo. The salmon was buttery and melt-in-your-mouth soft, with tempura flakes providing a perfect crunch. Rich, layered, and indulgent — it’s clear why this roll is a house favorite.
Bonham Roll
Spicy tuna, avocado, and snow crab, wrapped in soy paper and lightly deep-fried. The result: a golden, crispy exterior with a warm, soft center. The soy paper adds a touch of sweetness, while the spicy tuna and snow crab create a perfect contrast in every bite.
Fannin Roll
Crab meat, shrimp, cream cheese, and avocado — deep-fried and topped with spicy mayo and eel sauce. Warm, crunchy, rich, and oh-so-satisfying. Each bite blends creamy textures with sweet heat and crisp edges — the ultimate fried roll.
Satoshi Japanese Kitchen is more than just great food — it’s a family-owned, small business that chose to plant roots right here in Bonham. When you support places like this, you’re not just getting a meal — you’re helping a dream grow in your own backyard. So go give them a try, show some local love, and don’t forget to tell them Tonja sent you.
