I recently dined at Nakato Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar, and overall, it was a delightful experience! 🥢
We opted for the hibachi, but be warned - reservations are a must, as we saw others turned away. The chef took some time to arrive, but once he did, the fresh veggies and seasoned meats were worth the wait! Unfortunately, the entertainment aspect was lacking; our chef was quite quiet.
The atmosphere was cozy and family-friendly, making it a great spot for dinner! 🍣 I wouldn’t hesitate to return for the sushi or the warm service. Just remember to make that reservation!
