Japanese Restaurants near Knightdale

“The OG of Chinese hole in the wall restaurants. Not a place where you’ll find orange-sauced chicken nuggets but an obvious neighborhood favorite judging from the continual to-go traffic. We enjoyed generous portions of chicken fried rice and shrimp fried rice. One star withheld for greasy egg rolls. The egg drop soup lacked flavor (to me) but the egg was very tender. The atmosphere was lacking but the prices make up for it; $16 each for our meals plus counter tip.“

“Way overpriced for what you get“

“Kiko Japan Express always delivers quality food. Their portion sizes are more than enough, the flavors are absolutely amazing on every meal, and they're consistent on every visit. My wife and I frequent this location and we love it more than Chinese food locations in the greater Raleigh area. Pro tip: Try to order your food out of the takeout containers because when dining in, the plates can barely hold all of the food. Also, you have to try the Chicken Hibachi. I don't think you'll be disappointed.“

“I absolutely love going to Hibachi K Express! 😍 The hibachi chicken and rice with zucchini and carrots is always cooked to perfection. 🍚🐔 The yum yum white sauce is the perfect finishing touch—it really brings everything together! 🤤 I’ve been coming here for a while, and it never disappoints. Definitely one of my go-to spots! 🙌 If you haven’t been, you’re missing out! 👍“

“Amazing! Loved everything about it! Super great atmosphere! The owner was amazing and super friendly! Food was delish 🤗“

“Sushi Nirvana at Its Finest!!

If you're craving sushi that actually hits the spot—not just fills the void—this place is your jackpot. All-you-can-eat doesn’t even begin to describe the experience. It’s more like all-you-can-dream-of.

Whether you're a sushi snob or just here for the teriyaki and gyoza, this spot delivers. Come hungry, leave euphoric. And yes, you’ll probably dream about that spicy mayo drizzle.“

“My husband almost moved to Raleigh when we were engaged because of Sake House. Both our families & his job being in Virginia tipped the scale in that direction, but not by much. The sushi is excellent“

“good food. sat outside, nice atmosphere“

“The restaurant is a low-key hidden gem with a small dining area but a big team working the kitchen, sushi station, and register. The staff are quiet but provide kind and fast service, which is fine because the food speaks for itself. It’s easily better than other places around and cost ~30% less, with a simple menu that offers enough variety without causing option overload. The sushi and steak hibachi my girlfriend and I ordered tasted fresh and was so good she finished it quickly despite having no appetite. I normally only bother to leave negative reviews if ever, but it’s nice to see a small business still holding higher standards and food service than more “established” restaurants who charge more. If you’re looking for a little spot to dine or to just have as your go-to take out spot, this is the place. It might not look like much, but order something and find out what a steal each plate is.“

“Love it the people was nice food was great“
