We have been coming to eat at Nakato's for my birthday every year for the past 5 years and we always have a great time but this year has been the best one yet. Our chef was Leo and he was the best hibachi chef we have ever had and we eat at Japanese steakhouses all over the country. The food was excellent and the service we had was way over the top. This is my family's favorite restraunt and we will keep coming back as often as we can.

This restaurant has the WORST customer service I have ever experienced. A group of 15 of us went there for dinner the other night. We had a reservation for the back room. When we arrived, our table was not ready and after waiting for 30 minutes, they finally sat us in the main dining room at 2 separate tables. Since they had made a mistake with our reservation, we asked for a discount, to which the manager basically told us no and that we were lying about the reservation in the first place. After staring at us the entire dinner, another one of us went up to the manager to complain, at which point they called to police on us. What did they think we were going to do? It was incredibly rude and embarrassing. They were in the wrong and when we complained to them they actually called to police. Ridiculous. I will NEVER eat at a Nakatos again!

Went for my birthday to sit in the back rm. where we had a reservation. The table was not ready. We waited over a half hour then they said it was going to be ready, so we had to sit at 2 diff. tables. The hostess never apologized. My husband asked for a discount and the response he got was "We don't do this for free" They all stared at our table all nt. and when one of my party guests complained the manager called 3 policemen to come watch us. I was never so humiliated in my life! and to top it off the food was bland and nothing special at all. They were so rude, I will NEVER go back there again. The are too many decent places to eat in Charlotte.

Has gone slightly downhill since the last time I was there. The hibatchi is stil wonderful, although they are not as "showy" as they used to be. Seem a bit more rushed. Was a little cold, so definitely bring a sweater. The prices are a little steep for the amount of food they give you as well. All in all, the food is still pretty good and the service is fast, friendly and efficient.
