Nakama Japanese Steakhouse 1228 U.S. Highway 70 Southwest, Hickory, NC 28602

"Chicken was dry and tough. Very little broccoli which was not evenly cooked. Carrots from can and served in sugar water."

"Usually this is one of my favorite Japanese places, but today, it is by far not my favorite. The food was bland, no flavor at all. Every piece of chicken had to be thrown out because of all the tough chewy rubbery parts. I just threw the whole plate away."

"Sorry but this is not your best japanese steakhouse, it's all mush and lack the uniqueness. It's not that great, the chicken meat were very dry but seems like it was coated to keep outside moist and tender (chicken breast I'm assuming). Sauce wasn't that amazing, even Valley Hill Mall's version of teriyaki chicken is better. But I hope this restaurant up's their game so I would support. I've had it all, all asian food, and traveled and ate so many varieties and this does not hit the must-have spot. I recommend a diff japanese restaurant if you want a better authentic one. Enjoy!"

"I adore this place! The owners and staff are incredibly friendly. The food is exceptionally fantastic and flavorful. Service is quick even when they are packed. The prices are very affordable, about what you would pay at a fast food restaurant, and very generous portions."

"I drive past this place all the time; today I decided to try it, so glad I did. Service was super fast, food was amazing and with good portions and the prices are fair."
