22 Best Japanese Restaurants near Kernersville

“This is my #1 spot to get food from if I'm not cooking at home and have the time to pick it up. Their teriyaki chicken with white sauce is second to none anywhere I've eaten hibachi style food. I've also had some of their other options which I believe include red snapper and that was just as enjoyable as the chicken, I just prefer the texture of the chicken.

Their rice is made separate from the bulk of the vegetables so if you have picky eaters it won't be a problem. The rice is very mild in flavor which makes it a great base to deliver the rest of the food which taste amazing.

The plates I get are served with zucchini, onions, and the meat option. The meat and veges are always drowning in a very good tasting but thin teriyaki sauce which mixes very well with their white sauce.

I typically order to go so I can eat it in the comfort of my own home, but they have plenty of space to dine in and have yet to have a bad experience after years of going here, only wish I could go more often than I do.

Review from 2018: One of my favorite locally owned places in Kernersville, often make the trip down Union Cross just to get a plate from here. The family that runs it is super friendly.“

“This is one of my favorite places to get Japanese food. Also very affordable

Vegetarian options: You could get grilled veggies with fried or steamed rice. They also offer spring rolls stuffed with cabbage.

Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere, child friendly“

“My family loves this place“

“Poke Dream is a small place but very clean. We love to sit outside at the very clean picnic table and enjoy our lunch. Mike is very nice but quiet and very professional. When we get there early he is cleaning the picnic table and wiping the door and windows. He has been very kind and works really hard to make changes to my order and doesn't seem to mind. We ate our lunch there and were taking a ramen bowl back to a coworker. Mike waited until we were almost finished to make the takeout bowl so it would be nice and hot when we got ready to leave. We didn't ask him to do that. He also brings our lunch outside to us. He didn't have to do those things but he seems to go the extra mile. The Seafood Bowl is my favorite but I ask for jalapenos and purple cabbage in place of edamame. It is so good with Salmon, shrimp and tuna. I get mine on mixed greens and love this so much. The ramen is also fantastic and has the best broth I have ever eaten. We are so fortunate to have such a fresh and delicious option so close by. I am excited to try many more options. I hope everyone supports such a wonderful business.“

“We love Shogun. We’ve been coming for over 20 years and always get sushi and hibachi. It’s our favorite and we feel like we’re family here. 💕“

“Let me start by saying that I loved Khia of Japan when they were on High Point Rd. I recently found out that they were Oak Ridge now. So, I decided to place an order for pickup and man I'm so glad I did. I missed this Japanese food so much. I hate that they were completely empty when I arrived. I don't know if people don't know about it or what, but the food is good. I will definitely go back again. I will probably go today to be honest. It sucks that people don't know about this place.“

“Our first time going there, and we surely had enjoyed their foods there. We ordered “Ja Jang Myeon”, “Bibimbap”, “Korean dumplings”, and some appetizers and a bowl of soup. Everything was so delicious and our 10-year old loved them too!

The owners are so nice and friendly, and we felt the restaurant was so comfy.

Hope to go back there soon and try new dishes. Thank you.“

“Calm, quiet, peaceful. I have been coming to US Sushi for years now, and never once have I had a bad experience. The sushi is fresh, delicious, and beautifully crafted by the very talented chefs. The service is always prompt, and friendly. They take good care of their customers and give us all a great experience for our hard earned money. I am excited to eat here, and I am satisfied when I leave.“

“I stumbled upon this gem by making a pit stop while traveling and I'm SO hlad I did!! Hands down the BEST hibachi chicken and veggies I've had in awhile. Honestly, may be the best EVER!! 5/5 A++ ABSOLUTELY would dine again. If your in the area and haven't tried it your missing out big time“

“The absolute best sushi place ever! it's fun, friendly and I love Mimi!!!!! I travel an hour just to eat here!“

“Fire & Sticks is absolutely the best Japanese in the area! Large portions, cooked to perfection every time with friendly & attentive chefs, servers & management. Even the white & ginger sauces are phenomenal. We have learned to make reservations at least several days in advance to ensure we get in.“

“Great integrity and energy to their work—I’m a HUGE fan!“

“The food is delicious and the service is excellent. Ieft my purse and my waiter ran out and gave it to me.“

“First time eating here and it is hands down the best hibachi steak and chicken, the rice was perfectly cooked and the grilled veggies (which I gave to my son haha) were also great. Also came with a salad and perfect white sauce! I highly recommend giving this place a try! Prices are very reasonable and service was awesome!! 10 out of 10 I like this even more than Toyko Japanese!“

“Baby the food is marvelous.Com“

“We love the food there but the water tastes like mold and mildew. This is the second review I have left and the first one has not showed up.“

“I was out shopping and stopped in for the first time today. As soon as I entered, the food aromas made it clear I was having lunch there. The woman who took my order knew the menu, well, and was a great help. I decided on orange shrimp with fried rice and onion soup. Wow! The dish was outstanding!!
Now my problem is not ordering the same meal for the rest of my life, because I would love to explore other options.
They also have sushi and an enticing assortment of chicken wings. The prices are reasonable AND they have lunch specials from 11-3. You can also dine in. The food, service, and ambiance are exceptional. Do yourself a favor and stop in. It's deelicious!“

“My husband and I have been coming here even before the new owners. Everything is fresh and taste the same every single time we get it. No matter what menu item we get. We have tried Thai all over North Carolina and all their room there are others we like this one is our best and favorite.“
