5 Best Japanese Restaurants near Garner

“I can’t believe some of these reviews because I have gone three times and the food has been so so good. We have dined in at a table and we also have dined in at the grill. We have had many of the options. Shrimp, filet, ribeye, crab watons and more. All have been exceptional! Our chef the night we sat at the grill was fantastic as well. Our waitress at our last meal was phenomenal. I do want to say my only draw back is that we called at 8:00 asking for a reservation for 8:30 (the website said to call) and the girl who answered was sassy saying they wouldn’t sit us unless we were there by a certain time and they wouldn’t do a reservation.“

“great people and great food it will make you happy, ijs“

“Picked up dinner from here tonight, and the sushi was hot and fresh. The shrimp roll was very tasty, and was portioned into generous sizes. The broccoli in the vegetable hibachi was a little dry, but the rice with the zucchini and onions blended very well together.“

“We really enjoyed our take-out from Sakura 8. The prices are fair, meat is cooked well, and the rice is a typical hibachi style soy sauce fried rice. The food overall isn’t very seasoned. When it comes to hibachi, the seasoning is supposed to be mild because the flavor comes from ginger and yum yum sauce
that you can get at the self serve counter by the fountain. I think it’s great you can basically get as much as you want. And the both sauces taste just like they should. We also had crab rangoons which were imo the best in the area, and salmon sushi rolls which were typical “cheap takeout” sushi quality but they tasted great with well cooked rice. I was a little bit sketched out by the reviews but I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. The people that work here were nice and respectful.“

“Greatest Of All Time chinese joint. I’m down to fight if you wanna disagree. 1) All the meat I’ve tried here is lean and flavorful, consistently high quality. That’s hard to find. 2) Stellar value on their meals. Hibachi lunch combo is like $12 after taxes AND you get a side of the best egg drop soup on the Eastern Seaboard. Also, they’ve had a BOGO free Makimono sushi roll deal for several years now, and it’s always been tasty. 3) Service is immaculate. The nice lady usually working the counter knew my name by my third time coming in, she’ll hand me my order without me having to say word. If someone says the service was bad here, I can guarentee they were being bad customers. 4) SELF SERVE SAUCES, UTENSILS, AND FORTUNE COOKIES. Hibachi 88 is the ONLY asian food place I’ve ever visited that offers this. I like a lot of soy and duck sauce, and I love fortune cookies. It’s the little things like that, that keep me as a return customer.“
