31 Best Japanese Restaurants near Garner

“I always have a good time and they make me feel like family!! The food and drinks are delicious also“

“Really great food, I always get the hibachi chicken, shrimp, and steak, and make it spicy. My dad has gotten their sushi, but didn't care for it. If you order ahead, you do have to pay at the store, but as a former hibachi worker, I understand why.“

“Fried oysters are expensive but worth it. I returned after eating the first order and got 2 orders to take home with me. 5 for $8.95
Make sure to open the container so they don’t sweat and get soggy. I’ll drive an hour and half one way to get them again!“

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

“Not bad Hibachi food. My complaint is the amount of meat in each serving. I ordered chicken and steak on my last visit. There wasn't a whole lot of chicken and steak compared to other similar Hibachi restaurants I frequent in the area.“

“The habachi chicken is always on point best I have ever eaten and the portions are huge dinner size 2 can eat off of and have leftovers. Staff is always nice. Oh and the sweet tea is definitely southern style.

Vegetarian options: You can order your vegetables however you want“

“Casual spot located inside Transfer Food Hall. While it's a low key and Casual spot, their food is excellent. While drinks aren't shown in my photos, they also have fun and delicious cocktails. You can counter order or get service depending the time.“

“Went with my mom for the first time all the good was good and the menu tells u clearly if something's raw or spicy but not what's all In the roll. They had K-pop playing as well it was nice and clean. At the end it was $60 for the both of us for almost 2 hours.“

Seamus was our server. He was great with the kids, wouldn't let Dad clean the mess after, and was so helpful in ordering around a gluten sensitivity. The food was fantastic. Try the lychee martini.“

“Yummy!!! That’s where I’ll start! I’m original from SC and I’ve been trying to find a restaurant here in NC that’s similar to my favorite hibachi place in my hometown. I had the teriyaki chicken and it was everything I expected! Although it’s not exactly the same, it’s close enough and made my tummy smile. I’ll be a returning customer for sure!

(I’m a white sauce lover and felt I didn’t need it for this meal so that’s a plus plus!)“

“Hibachi Bowl is always tasty. I always get the Hibachi Chicken with the complimentary sweet tea. The accompanying fried rice is always great too. The service was quick as usual, and the seating area was clean and tidy.
I always enjoy a lunch at Hibachi Bowl!

Parking: Located in a shopping plaza, there's plenty of free parking in the lot.“

“First off, Courtney who took care of us was wonderful the whole time

We had the Gyoza Dumplings which were great.

We also shared the hamachi tale sushi and double fried wings which were some of the best wings we’ve ever had (recommend the Spicy gogo flavor) and finished it all off with Ube Cheesecake which was absolutely delicious.

Can’t recommend this place enough ☺️“

“Fast service. Lovely surroundings, beautiful carved tables and great good.“

“Everything I have had here is delicious Hibachi and Hunan dishes are outstanding. Large portions for the money. This is our goto spot. They close at 8:30 PM so you better go early. I think they have stayed carry out only since the pandemic.“

“This location is not too far from my house but it was my first time visiting the restaurant to pickup brunch. Firstly, when I entered the restaurant, I noticed they had a 97.5 health sanitation rating which was a plus. Again, I was there for takeout and so I ordered the Hibachi Chicken. It was absolutely delicious! The meal along with the white sauce and ginger sauce provided. And the portion size was on point. It was really a perfect meal. And an excellent bargain for my buck! I'm looking forward to my next visit to Hibachi 88.

Parking: There are several parking spaces near and around the restaurant.“

“Love it the people was nice food was great“

“Awesome customer service. Dining in at the bar or to go orders. Always come to this location for the past 12 years they are the best.“

“Great tasting food, really nice and comfortable setting, and great service. We got there right after 2PM, so the dinner options were pricier — especially considering we were just in a booth and not having everything prepared in front of us.

In terms of atmosphere, I prefer this casual and relaxed setting — it’s not Kanki and it’s not pretending to be.

Overall, it’s a pretty great Hibachi restaurant. I’d consider it a nice step up from an “express” type Hibachi place. We will be back for lunch in the future! ????

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and pescatarian options

Parking: Plenty of room to park.

Kid-friendliness: There were kids here when we ate. They enjoyed the show.

Wheelchair accessibility: There was room and accommodations for wheelchairs“

“The tonkotsu ramen is delicious! I’ve had it a few times now and it’s always been great! My only slightly negative comment is about the bowls, they are a little flimsy. We took our ramen to go and it had leaked through the bottom only a couple of minutes into the drive home. Thankfully it wasn’t a bad leak, but we had a very short drive and had to immediately put it in a different container when we got home.“

“I just want to start off and say that the costumer service is a 10/10!! the employee’s are always so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is always very comfortable and clean!!!! The food is very addicting, I find my myself returning a few times a week! My veggies are always very fresh and delicious. overall I enjoy eating and ordering from here!“

“Got the yummy chicken lunch special and the gyoza. This was one of the better lunches I have had at Hillsborough. Very surprising to see menu prices below $10 in 2024.

The register employee was very chill and professional.

The place was clean and well maintained.“

“Shared cashew chicken with white rice. Also had wonton soup and spring roll - all delicious! Recommend!“

“Great Lunch option! I get the lunch boxes for my employees and they all like how meaty and filling it is.“

“Love it the people was nice food was great“

“This is an authentic Hibachi/Teppanyaki restaurant (they grille in front of you) with a kind and diverse staff, mainly from Asian descent. It is well designed and quiet. While it is sort of expensive the experience is worth every penny. The staff will take time to make your experience extra nominal. They also take time for your children too! Good 10/10“

“Very good food and friendly relaxing awesome etc“

“The food was good and flavorful. I got the chicken hibachi, and my husband got the steak hibachi. We also got an order of fried dumplings. The chicken was good, and so was the steak. They gave you a good amount of vegetables and rice. The dumplings were nice and crispy and not soggy. We also tried their finger sauce, which was really good. Overall, we would go back.“
