Nc Japan Express

First and last time ordering from here.

As soon as I walked in, I was hit with a disgusting sewer/bathroom smell, the kind that makes you want to walk right back out. You expect the aroma of food in a restaurant, not the stench of poor plumbing.

Then there’s the heavy door, a struggle to open on the way in and on the way out. That’s a serious safety hazard. If there were an emergency, a child or elderly person wouldn’t stand a chance getting out quickly.

Now the food, I paid over $16 per plate, and both were basically piles of soba noodles with barely any chicken or steak. What little meat was there looked sad. Definitely not worth the price.

And then the worst part, a black hair in my food. Halfway through eating at home, there it was, plain as day. The same color and length as the cashier, who was working with her hair down and no hair net. That’s just unacceptable.

And to top it all off? A tip jar by the register. For what? Sewer smell, overpriced noodles, and hair in my food? No thanks.

If this is how they treat first-time customers, I can’t imagine how bad it gets from here. I won’t be back.

Place was clean and the workers were nice. Food was not good. No flavor to the hibachi the steak had gristle and fat, crab ragoon was not good but the fried dumplings were ok.

This was the worst food I had for hibachi. I spent $25 for food that tasted so gross and I cant even eat it. I would not recommend going to this place as you would be very disappointed that you can’t even eat the food that you paid for. The guy at the front to take the orders is nice, but it’s a disappointment going to this place.

It would seem impossible to ruin fried rice and soba noodles, but it’s not. This was by far the worst food we’ve eaten since moving to Raleigh four years ago. We basically threw it all in the trash. Unless you are desperate for a meal, there are likely far better options.

The food was very tasty.
The service was great 👍

The guy who took my order was nice. The place looked very clean, but the food wasn't good. I got the shrimp & scallops w/rice. The scallops were very small and rubbery, and I had to spit them out. The onions were under cooked, and I didn't eat them. The spring rolls were good. It was a big dissappointment, for $20. I won't be going back.

I’m a regular here and have never been disappointed!!! The young man at the front taking orders is always friendly. Great food for a quick bite/dinner and relatively cheap for the amount of food you get. Always quick (I recommend calling and order ahead) and the food is always fresh and hot. This is my favorite quick-bite place in Raleigh
