BAKU REVIEWS
This place was amazing to say the least. First off, the ambiance was awesome and decorations were so good. The food my wife and I ordered were a treat too. Our waitress, Jordan, was probably one of the best servers I've had in a long time. She was really knowledgeable and even recommended some of the Chef's specials they had going for the evening. She was very attentive and thorough with us and we even tried one of her favorites that she personally loved to eat. The sushi was absolutely delicious. And to top things off, the cinnamon beignets at the end of the night were definitely a winner. Thank you so much for making my wife and I's 2nd year wedding anniversary so special. We will certainly be back! Cheers!
I have been here many times-I bring customers here monthly. Im at a table of anywhere from 2 people to 12 and they are always on top of it. Never had a bad service experience. And the sushi is fresh and delicious every single time. We order multiple rolls at once and they always come out on a large board and they really make it look beautiful-everyone takes pictures. Also get the dessert board for 2-delicious dessert and also looks great. I have a couple people that come regularly that aren’t fans of sushi-they still have delicious meals. Our favorite server is Chris!!!
This was my first time at this restaurant. I love sushi and we got the sushi platter plus a few appetizers. It was pretty good. I'll have to admit and I feel like it's probably the best sushi place in Charlotte. The fish was fresh and it wasn't overpowered with sauces like some of the other places that you will find here. The two rolls that came with the platter were definitely unique and well balanced. I don't even know if I use very much soy sauce actually. I would highly recommend this place if you love sushi. Parking: The main lot was full when I got there but it was right in their dinner rush. I was able to park in the back near some of the businesses back there and I asked the server if that was okay and she said it was fine. Shouldn't really have problems finding parking.

NAKATO JAPANESE RESTAURANT & SUSHI BAR REVIEWS
Great service . Covid-19 restrictions are enforced. So you must enter with your face mask but once seated you are able to remove it. My adopted mother came in town and we chose to eat here and I will be returning she really enjoyed her meal.
Fantastic experience because of the sushi chef, Didit. Thank you, Didit. The sushi was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed watching you create sushi rolls. You are a genuine craftsman.
Enjoyed our cook as well as waitress. I'm one of these types that believe there's always room for improvement. I can't say anything bad about this place.
