Nakato Japanese Steakhouse

My favorite will always be Myobi's in the Myrtle Beach area, but this Nakato is close. Years ago there was... more

hah! they shunned you for bringing your ""!""3YR OLD""!"" good.. i would have too.. its suppose to be the best sushi place in town.. what'd ya think was gonna happen.. a parting red sea? people go to sushi, to enjoy their food.. and the possibility of kids around completely and utterly ruins that. maybe next time you won't do something as foolhearty as taking your child to a high class resturaunt, and save us the trouble of kicking you out for having low class, and bringing a possibly noisy guest to an otherwise peaceful establishment. I myself plan on going here to eat.. not entertain my child. If you wanted sushi you should have hired a sitter and shown up patiently. Sorry for busting your bubble, but there is not excuse for you. more

I recently had dinner here and loved it. The Hibachi and sushi areas both had a nice ambiance and the food was fantastic. This restaurant quickly became a favorite. more

On a mini vacation in state my wife and I decided to go eat at the Nakato Japanese Steakhouse located near the University of North Carolina Charlotte campus. Upon arrival there were quite a few people waiting to be seated, but it was to be expected on a Saturday night. We sat on one of their comfy couches and purchased a couple of drinks from the bar while we waited. and waited. and waited. The hostess told us it would be about an hour and that was fine as we got there around 6:00 so we knew we would be waiting. Pros: no idea Cons: Customer Service more

Finest quality either sushi or the grill. Best restaurant in university area more

Nakato in University area by far has the best japanese food I have had. The prices are a bit steep but for the money you get ALOT of food. I love how they cook the food in front of you. We usually only go for special occasions but every time we have a great time. more

I have been to Nakato's where I used to live MANY times and loved it and was soooo excited to find out that there is one not too far from where I live now! I got to go there for my birthday and had yummy sushi and the hibachi grill. I was so pleased with everything. The wait wasn't long at all, the staff was friendly and quick as well as efficient. The chef was friendly, trained well and entertaining. Everything tasted so good and I had an excellent time. The only thing was I believe they went up on their cost for the 'birthday song and cake' where they bring out a small cake for you, take your photo with friends and family and sing to you in japanese. The staff didn't seem too thrilled to sing to someone at another table and didn't act like they knew how to sing the song very well so we decided to pass on paying so much for it for me since it didn't seem too special, may have just been an off night though. more

My family enjoyed our time at Nakatos. The food was very good and inexpensive. There was a large quantity of food and leftovers to take home. the kids enjoyed the chefs. more
