Excited to have found another Korean restaurant in the Triad. Their name says Japanese Fast Food, but don't let that fool you. They're primarily Korean cuisine, though they do have some hibachi items on their menu. The food here is great and priced well. You order up at the counter, which makes things fast and easy, whether you come by yourself, order to go, or come with a group. The banchan (appetizer side dishes) consists of fish cake, bean sprouts, kimchi, radish, and eggplant, all of which are very good. They can give you seconds too, just ask. As for the food, I've tried the jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and soft tofu stew with seafood. Both were good. I got a LOT of noodles. It lasted me 3 meals. The tofu stew was super hot temperature-wise, but just eat it with your rice to cool it down. read more

This place is a hole in the wall mom n pop Korean spot in High point that was recommended to me by a local. Although the name is Japanese it is Korean food. We got the jjajangmyeon tang so yook and kal bi tang. Seemed like everything was made to order because everything came out hot! I highly recommend the tang so yook. It was super crispy and juicy, one of the best I've had in the states. Definitely will be a frequent visitor although I live 25 mins away. read more

Kaya has become a favorite lunch stop for me, I stopped in a few weeks ago and have been back atleast twice a week since. I saw one review from a few months ago stating the place was under new management, the inside looks a little different now than some of the older pictures and the menu is mainly Korean food along with some hibachi and teriyaki options, they have a different hibachi lunch special every weekday for $6.99 which includes a drink. I usually get the hibachi specials and all have been great chicken and shrimp being my favorite here. The portions are large, even if you dine in they serve your hibachi in a to-go plate as you will more than likely be taking some home with you. On a recent visit I got the "C2" menu item, which is the Dol Sot Bibimbap. It is pretty awesome, it's served in a hot sizzling bowl along with a number of side items to go with it, I added some ginger sauce and the red sauce that accompanied the dish which made it even more awesome, definitely something I'll be getting again. Super nice folks here, they always stop by the table multiple times to make sure everything is good...and it always is. read more

Love this place. Don't let the name fool you, they have best Korean dishes in town. Only wished they have web site or online order. :) read more

The owner gave me the first impression of this restaurant; very warm and inviting! She checked on us once during our meal and again when we left. Food was good, I love any kind of Japanese. However, one thing that will bring me back is the variety of Korean food! read more

TL;DR Good spot for some authentic Korean food. Everything about the name of this place is confusing. It's labeled as 'Japanese Fast Food'. When you go into the place, the food is Korean, the writing on the artwork is Korean, the owner and staff are Korean. Outside of the habachi plates, there isn't really any Japanese. It's also labeled as fast food. It falls more into the 'fast casual' bucket. You go up and order at the counter, but then they bring the food out to you. Food - 4/5 - I had an order of the jajangmyeon, which is a thick-sauced noodle dish which is usually more of a comfort food than anything else. The dish was on-point and exactly what I was looking for. The key for jajangmyeon is "Do I get an enormous, more-than-I-can-eat bowl of noodles." That's exactly what I got. The sauce was a bit more on the onion-y side, but that's common for when I have it at Korean restaurants. The dish was also served with a side of pickled radish which was delicious. I was keeping an eye on what other people in the restaurant and the dishes all looked pretty authentic. Most of the dishes are served in the hot (clay?) pots where the dish is still boiling. I'm looking forward to going back and trying some other things. Service - 3/5 - A bit on the slow side, but the food is all made to order. Everyone on staff is super nice and friendly. 3/5 is just to say the service is exactly what you'd expect from a quick lunch spot. Ambience/Decor - 3/5 - It's a strip mall place. Go for the food, not the decor. Price - 3.5/5 - Food was fairly priced. Not a super-great deal, but not enough to keep me from coming back. read more

It's a strip center Japanese hibachi joint, family run, it serves its purpose. Chicken and steak hibachi a little over cooked, enjoyed black bean noodles. They really like cabbage! I don't mind that AT ALL, but I know others do. Love the sautéed vegetables actually. Certainly provides a more extensively authentic list of options that you would not see at other similar "chain hibachis", if you will. A bit Korean forward rather than Japanese. Calling in, I thought I was talking to a robot on 5% energy but walking in and getting my food delivered to me by whom seems the matriarch of the family was sweet. It's whatever, do or don't go, wouldn't pass them up if you're there or discover them and really want to check them out. Didn't try sushi. I'd give them another go. Last note: can't stand when an appropriate website or menu isn't established online. More of a 3.5 star but the slightly dry meat in hibachi drops a star. read more

WOW! Such delicious flavors come from such a little hole-in-the-wall place! And the amount of food you get is seriously belly filling. It is run by an older couple and their (I think) grandson. All of whom are very nice and so polite and helpful when you need extra information about a Korean dish and how to eat it. Oh, they serve quick Japanese food for the lunch crowd, but I highly recommend trying some of the traditional Korean dishes. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. read more

Great tasting Korean food. I had the dol sot bibimbap and it was hot and plentiful. Will go back soon to try their other menu items.

I am so sad it took me 2 years to try this place!! Their rotating lunch specials are amazing and everyday (at lunch) you can get hibachi chicken, rice, veggies, & a drink for $6.99. Your takeout box will be overflowing with food; I've never been able to finish it all. Everything is always seasoned perfectly and the staff is very friendly - the best Japanese in the triad IMO! read more

Small place, but I prefer that. The service was quick and the staff was to the point. Again, that is what I like. Don't hover. The food was delicious and very traditional tasting. I would defiantly recommend! read more

Came here for lunch with some coworkers. I was worried about a lack of vegetarian options but, they offered a meatless version of quite a few dishes and they're delicious! I'm going back tomorrow for that bibimbap. This place serves comfort in a bowl! read more

My new favorite Korean restaurant. I saw the good reviews and decided to try it out. I came around 12 on a Saturday and it's wasn't very busy. I got the spicy beef stew and it was really good. They included a beef rib in it and there were mushrooms in it. The side dishes were also excellent - one was an eggplant one which is my favorite. I haven't seen another Korean restaurant in the area with the eggplant side dish. They also had kimchee, bean sprouts, fish cake and a cilantro side dish. I hate cilantro so I didn't eat that one. If you dine in you can also have cold or hot water with unlimited tea or instant coffee. I also got a couple dishes to go which also came with the same side dishes. They also have Japanese hibachi items and there's a weekday lunch special which is only Japanese hibachi items. I saw an old review that showed some rolls, but they not longer serve any rolls. read more

Don't be fooled by the Japanese-ish name. It's a Korean place. Skip the lunch specials and order off the photos on the wall. OUTSTANDING. Simple service. No fancy plates but the food is great. Side dishes are awesome and the price is on point. read more

Kaya Restaurant - Stir fried squid - Japanese Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

It's a mom & pop restaurant that is the closest thing to Asian home cooking that I've found in this area. Served simply with no pretense.

Best Korean food in the Triad area, especially the side dishes! The short ribs were absolutely wonderful as well as the seafood tofu stew.

We ordered the jjajamyun and Korean sweet and sour pork combo and fried mandu. The pork was yummy but the jjajamyun was a little bland. The mandu were store bought and not homemade. I would go back and order the bulgogi or galbitang next time and I'm sure it will be a 4/5 star. Service was great and the owner was very nice. This is more of a Korean restaurant rather than Japanese. All the other patrons were Korean. read more

I'm thinking I should've gotten something other than the hibachi shrimp because it wasn't what I was expecting at all. I saw all these wonderful reviews which helped me pick this place but I ordered the wrong thing. The shrimp did not taste fresh and had a horrible smell. I am highly disappointed. read more

Great value with good service. This restaurant is definitely more Korean than Japanese, as most reviewers have mentioned. I opted for the bibimbap and stir fried squid entrees, and everything was pretty tasty. I'm giving them five stars since it's excellent for what I expect a Korean restaurant to be like in Greensboro. I was given a free drink while I waited for my to go order, and was also given a decent serving of soothing soup with my meal. They also didn't hesitate to provide more servings of rice for us. The bibimbap came with all the fixins, but the squid had way more onion than squid - maybe not worth the price. They also included a huge box full of kimchi and other small sides typical of Korean food - yum! I'd come back again if I were staying in the area for work. read more

I went there for dinner. It was okay ... Not fantastically good ... Ordered a unagi roll... Called "dragon". The sauce was good, but the unagi was slightly too chewy ... An Unagi roll with a free flow soft drink cost ~$17 read more

This was my first time here and maybe not my last. It's a nice restaurant with plenty of seating. I ordered the chicken hibachi and egg rolls. The pork egg rolls where really good and cooked well. The chicken wasn't that great. It had good flavor but it was over cooked and the rice was a little sticky and mushy for my taste. The veggies that came with it was good. I would go back for a second try and see if it improves. Overall I would give this place a solid three stars read more

Excellent, authentic Korean food. You can tell the cook enjoys cooking. I can't speak to the Japanese offerings. There is a large menu to choose from and everyone is friendly. read more

A gem of a restaurant! We had traditional Korean tonight: Soon Tubu, Kalbi Tang, Ja Jiang Myun, and Yake Mandoo. The kitchen was efficient and friendly, with a huge array of ban chan. Go here for home cooked flavors. The place was comfortable and clean and we will definitely return. Thank you so much!!! read more

Lunch specials are good and the portion is large. But the Korean food is much better, very tasty! read more

I love coming here! I really enjoy the proportion sizes because some other restaurants don't even put that much amount for the price you're paying. I also enjoy their side dishes and it just feels like there is a lot of love put into the dishes. The food doesn't take long to come out either and the owners are really nice people. Just absolutely amazing! read more

I've been meaning to write this review for the past 3 weeks now. So I came here to have dinner with my cousins while I was in NC visiting. I love Korean food and I eat a lot of it. I live In Los Angeles where I've been to plenty of Korean restaurants in Koreatown and I'm gonna say it...this place is way better than most of the Korean restaurants I've been to in LA. Yes, they're that good! From the side dishes to the main dishes, it was full of flavor and just omg so good!!! I can't get over how good they are. The portions are big and the prices are reasonable. So go check them out! This will be my go to Korean restaurant everytime I visit NC. read more

YES!! I needed this place in my life. I've been here a few times and have only had the Korean food (have not tried the Hibachi). I've had the Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup, Spicy Beef Soup, and Fried Dumplings. Everything was amazing and they give very generous servings and side dishes (banchan). I have overlooked this place many times since I thought it was Japanese food but it is KOREAN! It is very exciting for me to have an authentic Korean place available for lunch. It is a bit pricey for Korean food (Hibachi seemed pretty cheap) but so so worth it for some authentic Asian/Korean food in the Greensboro area. The lady that works behind the counter (owner?) is so incredibly nice. I will definitely be back! read more

Really delicious! My dad and I wanted a place that wouldn't take too much time, as we only had an hour for lunch. Saw the good reviews and came here. We ordered the steak and shrimp hibachi, which is what the lunch special was for the day we went. It was fast and tasted really good and seasoned for what it's worth (6.99ea). I honestly expected it to be like the ones you see at the mall. There was a lot of rice in it but the shrimp and steak was fresh and well-seasoned. So honestly I would say for the cheap price, it's really worth it and delicious. Try this place out and support your local businesses! read more

I have been here twice and I absolutely love it! I went to dinner with a friend and ordered the kang pun ki and the seafood pancake. The kang pun ki was very flavorful and perfectly fried. One of the employees told me that it would be spicy but I would rank it a 3 out of 10 on the spice scale. The seafood pancake was nice and crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. I personally preferred it without the soy sauce. My favorite dish from the banchan (side dishes) was the fish cake. The owner is SUPER SWEET! She took great care of my friend and I. I felt like I was at home with my Korean grandmother. I prefer this place over the other Korean restaurants in the area because it's very homely and the food is authentic. If you're new to Korean food, you should definitely give this place a try! read more

This restaurant is delicious! Everything we ordered was so awesome and you get plenty of food. So many great banchans. We ordered 4 orders of fried Mando/dumplings, seafood pancake, spicy calamari, bulgogi, and the black bean sauce noodles combo with fried pork. read more

Fantastic authentic Korean cuisine. The owners are welcoming and respectful. I'll be in the area for a week and will be back a few times.

I really love this place. It's a family run restaurant with good Japanese food. Some of their food can be considered Japanese 'fast' food but they actually have a large menu with sushi, sashimi, soba, and udon dishes. Remember to check the board for their daily lunch specials with steak, chicken or shrimp with vegetables and fried rice. It even includes a drink! Stop by if you would like a taste of Japan! read more

I came here for some comfort Korean food. The place is a tiny strip mall Restaurant. Don't judge a book by its cover. I loved everything I ate. I ordered Ja Jang Myeon & Tang-Soo-Yook Set. It was all amazing and so much food. The owner came to my table and offered me more Banchan while I was eating. Sadly I had to turn her down the food I ordered was almost more than I could handle. But I channeled my inner MikeyChen and persevered. I feel this is a great place for Koreon Comfort food. read more

We usually dine (well not usually but often) at Highpoint Korean Bbq but I was pleasantly surprised to learn there's another korean joint nearby (we live in Asheboro). So I asked my husband to quickly join me and try Kaya. Meals are relatively cheaper by $1-$2 than Highpoint K.Bbq and it's actually a smaller joint. It's a relatively pleasant surprise as they serve different side dishes and their take with the galbi is different so my husband liked it. I on the other hand was surprised with the portion of the black bean noodles. They are generous with the proportions and they do generously refill the side dishes as well. Our orders and the side dishes took long to serve though (considering there are not much guests when we dined) Which is the only downside. Oh and also, they should just branded their place as a korean restaurant and not japanese. But again, overall we had a pleasant experience. read more

First time visit....first time ever going for Japanese and more then half or the meal was already cooked before I even ordered it...pre-cooked rice??pre cooked veggies???? Pre cooked chicken????????unpilled shrimp????? I asked for extra onions she told the cook he aparently said no and was obviously annoed even though I was the only order.. she asked me if I wanted raw onions on my Hitachi?? I said no so she threw them on the grill...they took a whole 2mins to cook with the rest of my food..the food was just okay..chicken shrimp scallops were seasoned...rice is bland no taste what so ever. Chicken tough bc it was cooked too soon. Shrimp and scallops made to order..they are taking way too many shortcuts! read more
