8 Best Japanese Restaurants in Cary

“Cozy little place with great food!! Their garlic ramen was amazing!!“

“I almost wanted to give it a 1 star to scare people away. This place may be my new favorite in the triangle. Super authentic and super cool atmosphere. Everything was excellent from food to drinks. Super small so expect a wait and small kitchen so it takes a while. Worth the wait!“

“Ramen and sushi were both outstanding! Prompt, friendly service. Highly recommend!“

“Pleasantly surprised at how good my lunch was today! At first I thought the menu lacked variety but the quality and taste really made up for it! I ordered the hibachi steak lunch and a side of miso soup and it was made Fresh! The veggies were so crunchy and the steak was cooked just right. The miso soup came boiling hot and everything just tasted not too greasy. The portion size was large enough for me to have leftovers for the next day. For $14 you can’t beat it. Highly recommend to check them out! By the way the decor is adorable! Super instagram worthy and it’s a husband and wife shop too!“

“This has been my favorite restaurant for years! Everything is delicious (I could eat ten of those salads with ginger dressing) and this is the only place I’ve ever been to that serves zaru! I highly recommend and I bring everyone I know here!“

“I’ve already been to Hibachi 88 twice in the past two weeks, and I can honestly say it’s quickly becoming a favorite! The steak hibachi and chicken skewers are amazing. Tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The portions are generous, and for only about $17 you get a LOT of food, which is such a great value. Both times I left full and impressed. Definitely recommend if you’re craving hibachi without breaking the bank!“

“Always on point. Restaurant is always clean, food is always fresh and I have never had a problem with anything that I’ve ordered. This has been my go to hibachi spot. Thank you for being consistent in your food quality and your service you are AMAZING!!“

“Some of the best sushi I've had since being in Japan. Even the rice was outstanding, as it should be. The service was also excellent. Our waitress was knowledgable and very helpful in designing a progression to get a good selection and variety. One of our party had a shellfish allergy and she was able to get a selection put together that accommodated that allergy but did not sacrifice the overall experience.“
