The quality and portion size have improved recently. Their white sauce is to die for. I always pay for an extra one.

I wasted money on this place.Completely inedible steak. Overcooked and flavorless. They forgot the red sauce with the ragoons which ended up being pure grease.Wouldn't recommend this place if you enjoy good

Delicious food and comfy place to eat, even with 2 small children. I had a hard time choosing what to order as everything on the menu sounded so good. My husband and daughter got the Yaki Soba noodles with steak and that looked and tasted so good. I got the Salmon and cream cheese sushi rolls with a side of fried rice which was also very good. Generous portions, comfy dining area, clean tables and floors, and nicely decorated.

Very quick and delicious food. I go there regularly.

The rice is not good. The noodles are really not good. Overall, it's not great food for the price and not good compared to other Hibachi places I've eaten. Don't bother trying to call ahead. I've tried 3 times to call but no one answered. So, I just went inside to order and waited longer. I've been a few times since it's close to my house, but I give up. The quality is not there.

This is amazing food! I don’t usually take time to write reviews, but I had to for this place. The food was all fresh and cooked just right (chicken, steak, and shrimp were not overcooked, but tender, juicy, and excellent flavor). The honey chicken was exceptional. It did not have the thick batter coating I would have expected, but was thin and crispy. It was VERY delicious!It did not take long to receive our food, the prices were excellent, and we got a lot of food. The staff was also friendly and everything was clean. We could not have had a better experience and I will absolutely recommend this place as my favorite Japanese cuisine! :)

I have driven by Nakato Express dozens of times. Our business is just down the street and I am over on this side of town quite frequently.My daughter and I finally have them a try on a Wed at lunch. The online menu that was available did not appeal to me. I knew they had to have something different for lunch. We decided to stop by and see. Sure enough, they had a special that was available every day until 3.I had the sirachia chicken and my daughter had the sesame chicken. Both came with rice and an egg roll and a drink. It was a good deal.The food was delivered hot and fresh. It was quite good !!! I would definitely go back. Give them a try, you will be glad you did !

Fast, great prices and very good food, add extra veggies is the best option. Try it it's really a good fast deal.

Best hibachi in the area - new chef has made it even better. Quality and taste is 100% on par with going to Kabuki or Kanki.
