For Michelle Wang, owner of Kasai Hibachi Sushi and Bar in Colleyville, the restaurant is more than just another entity under her name—it is a challenge. Using her passion for food and her experience in the restaurant industry, Wang—who also co-owns a Thai and Vietnamese restaurant in Forney—made it her goal to bring this location of Kasai back on its feet after she purchased it during the pandemic.
Wang acquired the Colleyville restaurant from a couple during the pandemic. She said Kasai Hibachi Sushi and Bar was not in the best shape at that time.
“[So] I had a chance to jump on it and just kind of prove to myself that I can do it. And I want to flip this place around,” Wang said.
Now the head of the restaurant, Wang said she only uses high-quality, fresh meat and fish for the dishes, such as the Colleyville Roll, made of shrimp tempura, avocado, crab salad and spicy mayo. However, Hibachi—a Japanese technique that involves grilling meats, vegetables and rice on a large, flat-top grill—remains the most popular attraction among customers, Wang said.
