21 Best Japanese Restaurants near Wake Forest

“Best sushi ever! Great service! Cozy atmosphere!“

“Great Ramen. Best in the area“

“I recently received an order via Door Dash and it was delicious! This was my first time ordering from them.
My hibachi steak with fried rice and spring roll arrived piping hot. I also requested extra Japanese hot sauce, which was fire! This dish will easily feed 2 people!
Only issue for me was there was no soy sauce option and just a plastic fork was included, no knife or napkins. Knife would have come in handy for the larger pieces of steak and vegetables.
Overall, I will definitely be eating/ordering from here again.“

“Went this evening for the first time and it did not disappoint. I am very picky about my hibachi and it was by far the best I have had in this area.“

“We have ordered from here at least a dozen times but finally visited last night. The service was immaculate, the food on point, and at no time did we feel rushed. As a party of eight, it felt nice to be able to sit down and eat with friends and family and not feel like we should rush. A sincere thank you to the staff for the meal and hospitality!“

“Was solid and Abby was a beautiful and attentive waitress.“

“Ventured out from our normal sushi mainstay to try something new, based on something we saw on Instagram. It turned out to be a fantastic choice. Upon arrival, there was a buzz and you got the sense this was anymore traditional restaurant versus those that position themselves as trendy. There was an electricity in the air and the sound of a bell being rung whenever someone leaves a tip at the bar. We ordered the omakase. The chef personally came out to speak with us, explaining the courses, and asking about allergies. Then our journey began. We had six courses of 16 nigiri and 5 rolls the chef created for the evening. Every piece was a feast for the eyes and a treat for the taste buds. You knew it was fresh just by sight, but it all came together when you slid them in your pinhole. All in all, this was an excellent first impression. I will return and explore the menu. My only negative is very personal, because I'm a lazy driver and would prefer a closer location. Cheers!“

“I ordered pork bulgogi to go. The amount of food for the price was good. I am not a big eater by any means, but I was able to have it for dinner last night and lunch today. Both times I was quite full.

There was a little bite mixed in with the sweet which is always a great mix in my experience. I would happily order this again.“

“good food. sat outside, nice atmosphere“

“Was visiting a friend and the wife and I wanted sushi. Place was empty when we arrived at night but people started to come in after we got the food that arrived pretty quick. Sushi was good for the price. I didn't get sick so that's a good thing. I would definitely eat here again.“

“Saw this new place that recently opened while visiting my cousin in town, so we decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad we did! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was really well-prepared, and the portions were generous too. The whole experience was great, and it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. I’ll absolutely be back next time I visit my cousin!“

“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“

“We ordered the spring rolls, hibachi shrimp, steak, and chicken teriyaki, and everything was very tasty and satisfying! The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was welcoming and friendly. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back, especially with more friends next time!“

“Whenever I am in the Raleigh area and I am near, this is my favorite quick Japanese restaurant. The food and atmosphere is consistent and the quality is fresh and you receive a bang for your buck. The inside is a small quaint restaurant and I usually take it to go.“

“They use the best Quality Food and always have stellar service, super clean too!“

“The food was absolutely banging. If I’m going to nitpick anything I would say I would want more veggies. I got the yummy chicken and it was tender, flavorful and the rice was great. Crab ragoons didn’t miss. I will be back. Great service as well.“

“I've been to this restaurant a few times in the past month. The store itself is not all that glamorous, it's a bit unassuming I would say. However the food and service is exceptional. I really enjoyed both the dragon roll and the crab tempura roll when I had them and after recently trying both their Korean style honey glazed and sweet & spicy chicken. I can safely say this has now become my go-to place for fried chicken (if you haven't had Korean fried chicken, definitely check it out).“

“Nice place. Fried dumplings were so good.“

“Love it the people was nice food was great“

“Tried this place first time today. Food was awesome. Got the steak hibachi and wife got the vegetable hibachi . Also got the spring rolls which were super hot and great. Both plates were great and nice and hot with great flavor. Rice was nice and fluffy not a ball stuck together. Great place for hibachi and Owner is a super nice guy. Will be back soon.“
