Nakato Japanese Steakhouse

You know, we took my mom over the weekend for Mothers day and the food is still great, but good lord the pricing has gotten ridiculous. We have gone as a family for the last 14 years, sometimes 2 or 3 times a year and from what it use to cost us to what it cost us now is roughly a 363% increase compared to what we use to pay. I get the price of things has increased but the national average for dining out has increased in the last 10 years is around 50%, so this is 310% above the national average and the cost of food has only increased 30% to 40% in the last 10 years so they have a 300% markup. Great food, but it just isn't worth the price anymore to go here. It has been great but with the price of everything else it is no longer worth the price.

I have been here tons of times before. This is a great place for hibachi food. The restaurant is always clean and the service is good. The chefs do a good presentation and there is always plenty of food. I noticed a lot of the reviews commented about the value and rising prices. Yes, the prices have gone up but the food and value are still there. On this visit, I had the chicken and shrimp dinner. It came with soup, salad, noodles, rice, veggies, and the meat. You will not leave hungry.

Too expensive for what you get. The sushi was slightly below average, there was very little fish, which is really what people pay for, not just rice. A $16 roll shouldn’t look and taste the same as a $9 roll … that’s just unreasonable. Our total came out to $90, and honestly, it wasn’t worth it. Maybe they should consider removing sushi from the menu altogether or at least teach the chef how to make it properly. Also, nothing about this place feels Japanese. Not a single Japanese staff member, so don’t be surprised if the sushi doesn’t taste the way you hoped. A sushi bar should have a trained sushi chef who actually knows what they’re doing. The cocktails were tasty, and the service was friendly. It gets very loud when the “show” starts , so don’t expect a calm or cozy evening. This is more of a place for drinks and noise than for a quiet dinner out or even a date. P.S. PLEASE stop beating the fish for carpaccio!!! It just needs to be cut into a thin layer.

This was the 5G Ladies night out on a Friday for our monthly Social time. We had a Fabulous meal, great conversation with other people at the table, and exciting table entertainment by the chef. The servers were pleasant and prompt.

After a 10+ year pause on Japanese steakhouses, we had a large party here for my son’s birthday. He and his friends really enjoyed the dinner. My husband and I sat at the sushi bar and ate some rolls and edamame. The atmosphere was dark and a light smoke hung in the air. This might be unavoidable with the fire and steam as part of the show, but it did bother me. They do have large fans over the cooking areas. It was very crowded also, but on a Saturday night this is probably to be expected. The hibachi diners reported the food was excellent. We didn’t realize they were going to mix the food orders and give everyone some of each others orders. My son is significantly allergic to shrimp and began coughing and sneezing and his throat tightened as soon as he started eating. He ordered steak but some shrimp was put on his plate. He didn’t eat it, but shrimp must have touched his food somehow. It would be best if the waiter asked about food allergies at the time of ordering and took careful precautions. It could be an extremely dangerous mistake to make.
