12 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rural Hall

“My husband and I have eaten at this restaurant many times. The food is always great and they even cater to my specific cooking necessities. Yohani and all the wait staff have always been absolutely wonderful and make you feel at home every visit. If you are looking for authentic Japanese food we definitely recommend this place.“

“My wife and I love it. everything we ordered was so good.“

“The food was so fresh and good! Fast service and friendly also. We will definitely be making the hour drive back for this place!“

“My husband, daughter, and I visited on 11/1, and everything was great! I had the Sushi Sashimi Fusion, our daughter got the Special Ramen, and my husband had the Ribeye Steak Bento. We also ordered Takoyaki to start — I hadn’t had it in almost 20 years, and it was very good! Everything was so delicious I couldn’t stop doing a little happy food dance. Our waiter was super kind, and when he found out it was our daughter’s birthday, he brought out fried cheesecake for us to share — such a sweet surprise! If I had one complain it would be the amount of options made it difficult to choose what I wanted(which is entirely my fault, not theirs). Maybe a suggestion would be to add a Chirashi Bowl option to the menu. The flavors brought me right back to my exchange trip to Japan as a teen. Highly recommend this place — it’s not super fancy, but the food is so good!“

“Kimono’s is my favorite Japanese place around. My go-to is spicy teriyaki steak with udon noodles and zucchini. It really doesn’t get much better.

The staff is always a treat as well, they are always very welcoming!

If you’re in the area and like Japanese food. I recommend giving Kimono’s a shot.“

“I have probably ordered from this place maybe 30 times over the course of three years and it is hands down my favorite place in Winston Salem by far for food that is cheap, consistent quality, and just delicious. Not many places I have ever given a 5 stars but I have never one in all my time at Wake Forest ever had a bad experience at Tokyo house“

“Phenomenal service. Delicious food.

The only drawback here is that, at the time of writing this, they have no policy or staff training about how to handle a difficult customer. There was a drunk patron... I mean this guy was wasted. He was loud and clueless and was wandering from table to table attempting to strike up conversations with strangers as if he were in a bar. The only problem is that Mizu is not a bar. It's a rather nice Japenese Restaurant. Staff were tiptoeing around this guy and trying to avoid him. Which put a number of sober customers in very uncomfortable situations. This is a shame. I'm sure that Mizu is a perfectly wonderful experience on evenings when they're not serving the town drunk. They need policies and training to handle this kind of thing.“

“Excipient sushi!! One of the best places I’ve been! Very friendly. And fast“

“can't beat this awesome food“

“This place deserves praise. The new owner, Lan, is making a lot of excellent changes and improvements! A small, cozy Japanese restaurant — warm lighting, no pretentious attitude, and the moment you walk in, the staff acts like you’re a long-lost cousin finally coming home. The environment is family friendly in the most genuine way: not the fake “throw a coloring sheet at the kids” version, but a sincere attentiveness where everyone is treated with dignity and warmth. The food? Exquisite. Rich broths, delicate flavors, fresh ingredients that taste like someone’s grandmother actually cared. Every plate arrives with meticulous presentation, but never at the expense of taste. You taste real craft. You taste real pride. Try the appetizers! They're delicious! And the service is unmatched. Attentive without hovering. Cheerful without forced smiles. The servers there remember faces, remember preferences, and remember that hospitality is a noble vocation, not merely a paycheck. In a world full of chain mediocrity, this little Japanese spot is a reminder that excellence still exists… hidden in a cozy corner, quietly thriving, and making people’s evenings meaningfully better. U.S. Hibachi is King's best kept secret. Enjoy!“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! My wife , our three girls, and I love eating here. Everyone is always so friendly, and every dish we’ve tried has been amazing. The food is fresh, flavorful, and never greasy like many other local places. We’ve tried several dishes, and each one has been consistently delicious. Highly recommend!“
