About Nakato Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar

Nakato Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar offers a delightful dining experience with reasonably priced, tasty food. The chef and server provide excellent service, catering to dietary restrictions and making the meal enjoyable for both adults and children. The restaurant is suitable for a date night or a casual gathering, featuring a lively hibachi grill and a more relaxed sushi bar. Visitors particularly enjoy the hibachi grill cooking show, which excites kids and adds fun to the meal. The hibachi chicken is highly recommended and often praised for its delicious taste, while the sushi is also a big hit. Many guests have enjoyed the entertainment provided by the chefs, who are funny and skilled at their craft. The restaurant has plenty of parking, making it easy to visit.

I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant because the food is so bland and the portions are so small. The management is very rude too. Would not come back prices way too high for what you get. I would rather go to hinode.

***
One problem I have is the last four visits our cooks have been putting teriyaki on all the chicken as they are cooking it.
I ordered chicken with shrimp but I did not order teriyaki. I did not want teriyaki and due to dietary restrictions I'm not supposed to have teriyaki but I was not even asked if I wanted teriyaki. I think guests should be given the option or even at least asked if we want teriyaki sauce put on our chicken while it is being cooked.

They serve the BEST Japanese cuisine in the Ozarks 🍤🥢😋!
