Authentic Japanese Hibachi & Sushi in Hickory, NC

Rodney Garren

Finally a good casual Japanese food place! We've seen others in the area go down hill over time until we just stop going, now we have an alternative. The meals are fresh, the mixed veggies have a larger assortment of veggies than others. Just one warning your food will be blazing hot and fresh so be careful on ... those first few bites. Sorry about the pics, we were starving and dug in as soon as it hit the table. Service was great! Read More

I had the chance to finally get away from my crazy life and get a girls dinner in. We chose Little Japan and it did not disappoint. The sushi was so flavorful and fresh, the appetizers were delicious. Great job Little Japan!

Little Japan has very quickly become a favorite for dinner in our household. They have an excellent sushi selection and hibachi menu along with good pricing. The portions for both sushi and hot plates are fairly large, we typically leave this restaurant with at least one box to go. Dining in can be risky because they ... are usually fairly busy, but it’s worth it! Their drive thru option is also very easy to use and we typically use this option on the weekends when seating is busier. Read More

They did an amazing job renovating this restaurant and utilized the available space to optimal efficiency. The food was delicious and the service was great. The atmosphere was very inviting and they had several TV’s throughout the space.

Went out tonight (second night after opening) let me say the sushi is delectable. I myself had the Playboy and Dragon rolls and my fiancé had the green dragon and all 3 rolls were 10/10. I’ll say I’m giving some slack because I know they were pouring orders left and right the entire time we were there but the chicken ... hibachi left a little to be desired (if management reads this less mushroom more chicken, my personal recommendation) I’m giving service a 4 star because it’s still a little sloppy with the employees adapting but that’ll get better with time. Our waitress/waiter were great and very pleasant. If you’re planning to go here and don’t like wait times I recommend letting it settle for a week or two but PLEASE go try this place. It’s great and I think once the trains sailing down the tracks it’ll easily be a perfect little Japanese restaurant. Read More

I heard about this place awhile ago but then they had to go take out only for something or other and I forgot about them until recently. Their menu is the basic hibachi style, with some surprises. Not a large variety. But, that's a good thing because that means they cook what they have on the menu well, and they ... do. Good variety of sushi. The rolls I have tried were good. I got the eel roll and the dragon roll on my visits. Both were made with perfect ratios of the things I want in sushi. However, everywhere else I've had sushi, I've needed an extra flavor boost in the form of extra soy or eel dude sauce on the side. Here I did not. Finally, everyone there made it a pleasant experience. From the hostess that sat us, to our server, even the guys in the back. It's a fun, overall inviting environment with yummy food! Read More

10/10 all around!! What an awesome place! The renovations are very well done, a very chill environment that makes you want to hang out all day. Service was wonderful! And the food?!? Hands down the BEST Japanese-style cuisine in the area! A special shout out to the egg rolls and the handmade sauce!!
