Review: We live in north myrtle beach through the summer and absolutely love this restaurant. It's really hard to find good Hibachi food and this is it. We don't eat sushi but have heard wonderful things. I have 6 kids so finding a kid friendly place is a a plus and this is our favorite place down here. We have called an hour before arrival for reservations and gotten them with no problem. Walk in and within minutes we are seated. Staff there is great. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good fun dinner!!!

Review: We simply love going to Nakato's. We're local, and it is by far the best Japanese Steakhouse in town, and one of the best overall restaurants. The food is awesome, and you will almost always be taking leftovers home. Service is great, and we highly recommend you check it out.

Review: The food was absolutely wonderful. The prices were very reasonable. The bartenders did a great job in helping us decide on what type of Sushi to get. BTW, the Myrtle Beach rolls are to die for. The chef didn't put on as much of a show as some, but he was friendly and nice. We ate here on our last night in MB and it was a wonderful way to end a great vacation.

Review: 07/14/2010 I have probably been to at least 10 different Japanese restaurants. This was the best Japanese restaurant we have ever been too. The food and service was great. I ordered steak and shrimp. It came with rice, noodles and vegetables. It was so good. The chef was awesome. He had the best sense of humor. He did all the tricks and joked with the group. We laughed all night. We took two people that had never been and it was a great experience. We even took a picture of the chef with our group. This will be great memories!

Review: Chef was terrible. Did not provide a show for the kids. The only part of show that he tried is where he could not make a vacano versus the other chefs. Never refilled our shrimp sauce. Had an attitude with making the extra fried rice ordered. Compared to other Japanese Resturants and other Nakato Resturants, we will never go there again and not recommend that other go there.

Review: We went while on vacation to the Early Bird Special as 2 adults and 4 teenagers. In the summer, get there around 4 as it got busy not long after that. The meals were significantly less expensive on the early bird menu than the regular menu e.g. Hibachi Steak for $11 rather than $18. Our food was great, the chef was personable and kept up a conversation. The portions were generous. I would go back again.

Review: We are locals and used to always take our company to this restaurant. We recently visited with a large party and we were seated first upon opening. We were the LAST to be served. I asked for the manager. Upon the arrival to our tabel he told me that our cook was on his way and then walked off. I spoke with the General Manager next who was beyond RUDE. She dismissed our concerns, said that we were not seated first (we were first), and also walked off. I followed her to the front where she called our party rude and offered no apology for the horrible service. While I was in mid-sentance, she greeted a person applying for a job and walked off again. It took us 2.5 hrs from our arrival to departure! We had four kids in our party who had fallen asleep from waiting so long. I called the owner and complained. We will never go back after being treated so rudely. I cannot believe how unprofessional the management staff was. They were confrontational from the moment they arrived at our table. At one point, when I was complaining how rude the first manager was, I was told "you misunderstood him, you are in a japanese steakhouse, there is a language barrier"....the manager was not japanese! I have read there are other similiar experiences on here...the restaurant needs to get back to putting their customer first. My guests were disgusted by the scene that was caused when we tried to bring up our issue...we will never return to this establishment again. POOR MANAGEMENT!!!!!!!!! Too many places at the beach to eat, you do not have to put up with rudeness!

Review: I love this Restaurant they have the best service and food. Everytime we come to myrtle beach we have to go to Nakato at least twice in the week. There is always a friendly face to welcome us as soon as the door opens.
They have also changed the style in the sushi bar and it looks beautiful. I would recomend this place to anyone who knows what good quality food and service is.

Review: The food was delicious and the chef was fun and entertaining. We particularly appreciate how the chef interacted with our son who has cerebral palsy and special dietary needs. This part of the experience was excellent - food taste and quality and the entertainment provided by the chef.
On the negative side is the rip-off of charging us $10 dollars to "celebrate" my in-laws anniversary. We had 11 people in our party, all paying for full priced meals plus drinks. However, Nakato charged us $10 to sing a song, take a digital photo, and provide cake for the celebration. The photo was fine. The song was lame, and the "cake" turned out to be a single slice of cake. Let me repeat - a single slice of cake. Not even two slices of cake for the two people celebrating the anniversary. What a rip-off.
Do not celebrate any family event at this restaurant. If you do, be warned. You will be charged an extra $10 for nothing. This restaurant should be ashamed of itself. We easily spent $250 - $300 for our meal. They tacked on an extra $10 for a lousy celebration and a single slice of cake.
As much as I liked the meal, I will not return to this restaurant out of principal. We visit the MB area at least once per year and sometimes more. We will not return to Nakato as long as I can breath and speak my mind about these rip-off artists.

Review: Worst experience ever at this location. I go to the locations in Charlotte NC all the time. Food is always good. My wife ordered soft shell crab appetizer $7.50. She tasted it and thought it tasted bad and asked my opinion. I too thought it was not good at all. We sent it back and the manager got sooo upset and said we could not get our money back for it. Meanwhile we had over 12 people at our table and spent over $200 in food and the manager is complaining about $7.50.
What ever happened to customer being right and making the customer happy. I did not feel like we were asking too much. If something is not good it should be taken off bill.
I will never go back to this restaurant again but not because of the food but because they do not know how to take care of customer.

Review: Our family visits MB several times every year, and Nakato is one that we make a point to go to. We love to dine out, but have to watch the $$ to do so as often as we like. Even though we aren't typical Early-birder's, we do take advantage of their early dinner specials- they give great value for the $$- (note: the Early Bird hours may change from season to season) Quality and quantity of food is impressive- we always wind up bringing plenty of leftovers home for another lunch. I also enjoy the Mai Tai's served at Nakato- mixed just right every time! Chefs are entertaining esp. for the kids. I think there must be a special joke-book for the hibachi chefs since every Japanese steakhouse seems to recycle the jokes amongst them all! ;- )
We have eaten at Nakato many times and all our experiences have been positive. We will continue to be their customers for years to come!

Review: We arrived tonight at 6:55pm and were quickly seated with another family of four. There are four of us - 42 yo husband, 32 yo wife, 7 yo sushi-eating son and 4 yo picky-eater second son. Although our chef wasn't really flashy (I've lived in Okinawa and been to several of the Kobe beef places that are similar to this and they don't throw the knives either), I thought this visit was as close to Japan Steakhouses (for what they are) as it gets. I ordered hot saki (very good, very hot!), the wife had a white russian (large glass provided) and we ordered the usual assortment of food (chicken, steak, shrimp). I also ordered a sushi roll (yellowtail and scallion, excellent) that my son and I ate. All in all, the food quality was not only superior to the place down the street, the portions were significantly better, and they served a variety of side items we didn't expect, but were a hit with our kids. Nakato, you have our business!

Review: Mydaughters eat some sushi and were not impressed. But, 3 of us had chicken & shrimp, fried noodles, fried & white rice.Other daughter had steak & shrimp. The fried noodles and grilled shrimp were great while the chicken about what I expected. The fried rice was good althought a little on soft side. Overall one of the best habichi style meals we have had at a number of restaurants. We will go back when we return next year. A few sushi, 4 dinners & drinks $90 plus tip.

Review: This was my second time to Myrtle Beach and to the Nakato restaurant. I could eat there every night. Staff is wonderful. Makes the dining experience loads of fun. Love sitting at a table with strangers and talking with them.
Food is wonderful and full of flavor.
Total bill was around $40 and that included drinks and tip.

Review: Nakato's is a great place to eat....we usually go for the early bird special during 4-5 in the summer, so we don't have to wait to be seated. The food is always good, some cooks are more entertaining than others, but my three year old always has a good time. Ms. Nakato is always so friendly and thanks us for coming each time, but truely the pleasure is ours!

Review: I was SO impressed with this japanese steakhouse!! We have gone to Miyabi's up the street for years but we could not get reservations one night and tried Nakato's. We were hesitant to try a different place but it was our best meal our entire, weeklong visit. Highly recommended. Hard to please 9 family members and after leaving this restaurant, I didn't hear one complaint, only praise. You can't miss this meal!!

Review: Great food, and good service, reservations were needed, during our visist last year, their melon colada was excellent and a house specialty. Price was average for this type of food, and definitely would go back every year.
