8 Best Japanese Restaurants near Troutman

“I stopped in for lunch after always passing by the place but never having time to come in and eat. It's a really small family-owned place, and they were decently busy, but managed exceptionally well for how few people they had working the front.Everything is super affordable, and the portions are really generous. I got the Onion Soup as a appetizer, and it comes with cilantro in it. I've never seen any Japanese place add cilantro to Onion soup before, but it was the best I've ever had.I got the Kyjo Shrimp with Noodles entrée, and it was really large for only being about $13. I feel like it's more than you would get at other places for a comparable amount of money.I didn't get a chance to try any sushi as I was really full after what I had, but I'll definitely be back by again when I'm in the area.“

“Good to have a slightly healthier choice locally. Food is better during the week than on the weekend. The rice quinoa base is usually mushy on the weekend but perfect during weekdays. Sunday, the chicken in my bowl had no sticky coating which I really like. It seemed just rinsed in some bland marinade. Service with a smile and timely.“

“Our food was great. The sushi was delicious, I recommend the dragon egg appetizer. The steak and scallops were cooked perfectly. Not a huge fan of their shrimp sauce, but that's more of a personal preference of taste. Our server was very nice.“

“I'm going to give it to you straight--as always. This joint hasn't been open long but the demand is high! And there is a reason for that. It's called Teriyaki Madness--the thing people love but it's rarely brought up in conversation (Teriyaki, not madness). How often do you hear someone say, "Hey! Don't you love Teriyaki Chicken?" Does this happen at church? On a phone call? On the train? With the Uber driver? The answer is no. But we all love Teriyaki! At least 97.3% of us. I have only ordered the Chicken Teriyaki with Noodles (a little extra on pricing). The Chicken Teriyaki was great! The noodles were good but only because they somehow vibed with the Chicken. To put this in perspective, the Chicken Teriyaki was like MJ and the noodles were like Pippen. I'll try the Steak with Rice next time. Tbh, the prices are a little high, but I did order the noodles on the junior size to sample so not the best value, and the noodles cost extra. In other words, you don't want Chicken with Pippen. You want Chicken or Steak with Rice. Disclaimer: No offense to Scottie Pippen. He played a huge role in their championships. Overall, Teriyaki Madness is called Teriyaki Madness for a reason. If the noodles were great, it would be called Noodle Factory or Noodletasia or Wadoodle My Noodle. It's a when-in-Rome kind of thing. Never been to Rome but you know what I mean. If not, you can Google it. And the staff is great. They are not rude at all. A few of them might be shy but just be kind and they will open up. The staff is actually great. Recommended!“

“The time we were there. They were busy. We order sushi, and the chef knows it'll take him a while, so they give us free appetizers to compensate for the wait. Also had the miso ramen. The miso ramen tastes pretty good, but I like mine very spicy. When the sushi arrived, it was worth the wait. It tastes great, and we all enjoyed it. The staff was friendly, and the service was great.“

“I was craving hibachi and decided to eat here. I ordered hibachi chicken with no veggies. Even though carrots was still added to my tray, I still enjoyed the food. I wish I had more rice (that was the reason for no veggies) but overall the food was straight. I was turned off at the extra dollar for white sauce and the fact they didn’t have ginger, but I feel it is not necessary for an extra cup of white sauce because they give you more than enough with the meal. Unless you want to drench your hibachi with sauce, one should suffice.“

“I visited this restaurant last night and was very pleased with the cleanliness the inviting the waiter was point on the food was absolutely amazing. I could not find anything to complain about. I would highly recommend if you're in Statesville to visit this place. Brandon you were absolutely the best.“

“My husband and I loved this place when we lived in Mooresville! We moved to IL in 2012. In 2020 we came back to vacation in the area and this was the first place we stopped. The hibachi chicken and vegetables tasted exactly like we remembered! We are now, (4 years later) planning another vacation through the area and Shiki is our #1 thing on the itinerary. The portions are great, food is delicious! It has not changed in 20+ years we've been eating there ?“
