Always a great meal and a great time here. The staff is attentive. The chef is amusing and entertaining and there is plenty enough food. So much so, we always have leftovers.

Service was ok. I’m used to the chef cracking jokes and interacting with the customers in this type establishment. The chef just verified the orders, did a little fire show, prepared our meal and kept it moving.

These people were rude and socially unacceptable to us. I brought a birthday cake in with candles that spelled happy birthday and 4 cupcakes with 4 single candles and one of those did a musical happy birthday but when they brought the cake out, they had one little candle on it. I had to ask about the cupcakes and the rest of the candles. I guess we have always gone on Friday or Sat but they close at 9 on Sunday but let me make an 8 reservation and didn’t bother telling he they closed early on Sundays. An hour is not long enough to cook and serve 10 people and then to get irritated and be rude as hell to us was definitely un-called for!! We will never go back

Got the Caterpillar and Spider-Man rolls there (see pic).They were flavorful and excellent!The clear onion soup was very tasty too. Our Hibachi cook delighted everyone with his skills. I tried a bite of the Hibachi food, but it was bland for my taste and required some sauce to wake it up. Others like it though, so to each his/her own. Good experience overall and friendly service.

We came to Nakato for the first time tonight and it was absolutely amazing!!! Our chef, Chris was incredibly funny, did lots of tricks and cooked our food to perfection!!! We are definitely coming back forever as long as Chris is our chef!!! Hopefully we can request for him when making a reservation. My kids had so much fun too!!! Our server was also great!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
