I first visited New Japan a few years back and it was pretty typical Japanese American food. However, the restaurant smelled like grease and it was very dirty. I visited again recently. They've cleaned up the grease smell and the dining room was much cleaner. The food was slightly better than last time but now they water down their white sauce and it lacks a lot of the flavor.

We go here and do takeout about once a week and it’s always pretty good. We had a meal that wasn’t up to par, we took it back and they remade the whole order. Awesome customer service.

If you like the sit down Relaxed quality Japanese style food at a more fast food pace without the fancy server...this most definitely is the place to go. Always fresh and liberal healthy servings. The price is also super reasonable. There is even a glass window you can stand in front of and watch the Masterchef prepare the food. Great family choice. Sometimes there is live music.

A rather mediocre establishment. I ordered the hibachi steak. The price was fair but the quality was a bit of a letdown. At a Japanese restaurant you would expect some sort of marinade or sauce to add character and flavor to the food; however the meat and vegetables tasted quite plain, as if nothing had been done to them aside from applying heat.

The foods great and well priced. Its a pretty big portion for the price. However, if you like ur meat really clean u might not like it because the chicken and steak sometimes has fat on the meat but they also have great sushi.

I love going to New Japan Restaurant as an after-work Friday treat! The service is quick, and the food is always delicious. I have never had a bad experience at this restaurant--from the service to the food. Just love it all!

For the money, its a great heaping pile of good food, lots of meat, veggies and rice. But Friday night they ran out of sweet tea.

Unfortunately I had to move to Raleigh. I'll still come here for my hibachi chicken and crab rangoons. The white sauce here is perfect.

The steak and chicken hibachi was delicious. I didn't have to wait for our food very long either.

We have been regulars here for several months. This place is an absolute gem! Good Asian fast food for awesome rates. I especially love How big the portions are and how much meat they include in each dish. Also love that they serve sushi here. You can call and order ahead and they’ll have your dish waiting for you when you get there.

I've passed by this place many times and never gave any thought to try it. Tonight I was in the mood for something new and not out of my way going home after a long day at work that was neither a burger, some chicken or a burrito. So I tried the Hibachi Shrimp and Steak and have to admit that I should have tried this place sooner. Food was great and well portioned for the price. I will be visiting again to try other things on the menu for sure...

Good food, not spectacular, but it's good for quickbachi. I have only eaten the hibachi, can't speak to the teriyaki. Seems to always be clean and pretty quick.

Clean establishment with a 98.5 health code rating. Food was good but too many onions! See the rest of my review below! Cleanliness 3/5. Dining room area and sauce/condiment bar were spotless. Bathroom was lacking however and one of the food staff that came into the men's room, barely washed his hands for 2 seconds, after using the urinal. Luckily my food was already made prior to his using the restroom but goes to show that the staff need better cleaning habits when handling food. Price 4/5. Chicken and Shrimp Hibachi platter w/ medium drink was $11.69. And even though its take-out, they were still asking for tips on the receipt. Why? You are picking up your own order, tossing your own trash away as well. It's not even handed to you! Its sitting on the counter after they call you over! Your food isn't brought to your table if you eat in the dining room either. Why am I tipping you for you doing your job? Quality 4/5. I didn't want to drop a star, however I was asked: "Did you want fried zucchini, mushrooms and onions as well?" And I said yes. Well all I got as you can see in the picture was onions. They were generous with the chicken and shrimp, I can give them that much. Service 5/5. I was met with smiles and a warm attitude. Much appreciated! I will come back!
