Editorial Review for Nakato Japanese Restaurant – by Michael Longshore and Suzanne Wright
The Scene
The interior runs to blond wood, minimalist watercolors and sliding rice-paper doors. One dining room offers traditional seating and a sushi menu. In the other, knives flash and oils are juggled over a sizzling hibachi table. Patrons--heavy on kids, tourists and business travelers--are seated in groups of eight around the black marble-topped table.
The Food
The sushi menu is limited--maybe two dozen selections--but it's all ultra-fresh and skillfully executed. The tuna has a bit more berry to it, the rolls are tighter and hold together neatly, and the shrimp tempura is perfectly crunchy. Entrees, accompanied by vegetables and steamed or fried rice, include a lobster and filet mignon combination, along with shrimp and chicken.

are you serious!!!! the reviews are ridiculous! i did not try the hibachi but i did try their sushi. not impressed! sushi rice was too hard and chewy and the fish was of mediocre quality. presentation is standard and the chefs were not the most talented. i dont think that i will being going there again because if you are not capable of taking care of your sushi rice which is crucial, then i dont trust their handling of the fish.
Pros: nice looking place with very good service
Cons: sushi rice is not taken care of along with the fish

I can't tell you how much I love Hibachi, so if you are anything like me you will LOVE Nakato's! Think Benihanna's with Japanese chefs (not mexican) and quality food. The scallops are to die for!!! I go as much as I can and am never disappionted. Best Habachi I can find, if you know better let me know! Oh yeah they also have sushi. Supposedly pretty good, but who cares, give me my steak and scallops!
Pros: Hibachi, atmosphere, chefs, service...
Cons: none
