The newest location of a fast casual hibachi restaurant chain has officially opened in Burke.
Quickway Japanese Hibachi began serving customers earlier this month at 5749-B Burke Center Parkway, taking over the former GameStop storefront in the Burke Centre Shopping Center.
The Burke restaurant offers the full menu of Quickway items, including the hibachi chicken — the eatery’s signature dish.
Quickway’s main focus is on build-your-own hibachi bowls, where diners can choose between five different proteins to go with mixed vegetables, rice or noodles.
Also offered are bento boxes with a choice of protein, a California roll, chicken dumplings and spring rolls; six different poke bowls; and a wide variety of different sushi options.
As FFXnow reported in January, the project required more than $100,000 in renovations in order to convert the 1,000-square-foot space into a restaurant: the installation of kitchen equipment, tables and chairs and more, according to permits.
The restaurant, which is the brand’s seventh in Fairfax County, is part of Quickway’s plan to open an additional 15 stores in the D.C. area this year. The chain also opened at Idylwood Plaza this summer.
“Quickway has multiple stores in Fairfax County, and we are excited to open even more,” founder Bob Liang told FFXnow earlier this year. “It’s been an honor to be part of this community.”
Founded in Maryland in 2012, Quickway now has 61 locations in total, with seven stores still to come by the end of 2025, including one in Richmond, according to KLNB, which represented the chain in its lease negotiations with Burke Centre.
With plans to also expand in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts, Quickway has proven to be an “anomaly” among fast-casual restaurants, KLNB Principal Beth Sargent said in a press release.
“While other restaurant concepts have seen a softening of sales, Quickway is experiencing an uptick in same store sales and has had tremendous success with recent store openings in suburban markets,” Sargent said. “Customers have loved the new store design and appreciate the value and quality of food compared to the price point.”
