In Dunn, when diners get a hankering for international cuisine, they head for the Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet on West Broad Street. The restaurant offers Japanese, Chinese, American and Mexican dishes.

“Hibachi is a Japanese word that means ‘grilled,’” says Michael Hee, man­ager of the Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet. “Our hibachi bar is very popular because we have steak, chicken and pork, and when you select your food, the chef cooks it just for you. It’s our secret weapon.”

In addition to the hibachi grill, the restaurant has a full salad bar, a sushi bar and two bars devoted to Chinese dishes such as General Tso’s chicken and sesame chicken.

“We have many Hispanic customers, so we also provide tortillas and spicier dishes,” Hee says. “Our hibachi chef can even cook your food special to make it taste like a Mexican dish.”

Speaking of Mexican food, one of the best places to get it is Las Brisas, also in Dunn. Opened five years ago by Mexican owner George Nunez, Las Brisas spe­cializes in fajitas, carne asada and spicy shrimp à la diablo.

“We’re an independent Mexican res­taurant with real Mexican food prepared fresh daily,” Nunez says. “The restaurant industry is mostly fast food anymore, and Mexican restaurants are leaning that way, too, because it’s more profitable. But I still chop onions with my own hands and prepare salsa daily. We prepare food in the moment.”
