One of the best places in Morganton to eat! The half off sushi on Sundays and Mondays from 5:00pm-6:55pm is the best deal you can find. I typically will eat 3-4 rolls and the totals usually end up around $14. (Obviously this is different outside of the sales period.) The Cherry Blossom roll is the BEST thing I have ever eaten before. From the moment you bite in until the moment you swallow, you are taken on a flavor rollercoaster. Highly recommend. Bao is the best server! She remembers her regular customers and makes a point to create wonderful rapport. Kin2Kin is AWESOME!! read more

Love the food and great price. Sushi, teriyaki chicken, teriyaki steak and carrots are all good really loved the cabbage spring roll. read more

Service is always absolutely terrible. Every single time. If there were anywhere else in Morganton to get sushi and hibachi we wouldn't keep coming back. We waited thirty minutes before soup was brought out, was supposed to have two, she brought one. Last time we were here they missed our order all together and we waited an hour and a half for our food as we watched the entire restaurant turn over every single table around us. Management really needs to figure out something to make their service better. Needs serious help. Like I said if there were better options in Morganton we wouldn't come, it's surprising they've made it this long in business. read more

I like their Sashimi. Good service too. Others I've come here with enjoy the stir fry too

The sushi is absolutely out of this world!! It's my favorite place to go for sushi! And the people there are super nice

So the first worry is the fact that the majority of their plates offer imitation crab meat. That's really odd considering they have a roll with fresh soft shelled crabmeat. This sushi is mediocre at best. Expensive, generic, basic, and really nothing to write home about. We left feeling pretty sick really. Tried to make the best of it, but there's just nothing good happening here. The prices are high for less than mediocre food. Fake meat? No thank you. This is a pass all day long. And we tried several rolls. Just, no thank you. read more

The appearance is nothing glamorous but the food is amazing! Highly recommend the lobster roll and dragon rolls!

I came in and ordered take out. I got a spicy salmon roll, spicy tuna roll and miso soup. The sushi was flavorless and gummy. The miso soup was good. read more

A for effort. Very accommodating for our special order creations and the sushi was very fresh tasting. The owners have done a cute job transforming the place and making the most of it. I still feel they might want to look at it from a "clients eye" and hide a bit more service items and get rid of the awful Pepsi- wait to be seated sign. The server was delightful and we enjoyed her knowledge and enthusiasm. read more

Morganton needs more great restaurants that are not fast food or Mexican. This restaurant needs to update their location. Sometimes we go and the sushi is good and the next time it is barely average. Please put money back into your business and make it great. read more

Downtown with limited parking. The place could use some renovations. It's not a typical Japanese place nor is it a fast food hibachi joint. Place a to go order and it was very fast. The ginger dressing is very very thick and not at all well puréed. Didn't care for the dressing. The sushi saved the day however, as it was delicious and well made. I really enjoyed the sexy dragon roll. The negatives- when I arrived there were 2 people outside sitting right beside the entrance panhandling for "kerosene money". No one wants to be questioned going in and out for money. As for the biggest negative, it would be tHat if you don't have cash, they charge you a 3.99% fee on your bill. Not a tip, but a few to use your card. They also apparently charge 18% on parties of 6 or more, which is typical, but that on top of a 3.99% fee isn't kosher. read more

Picked up shrimp tempura rolls for my mom and me. They were soggy and didn't have much flavor. This is not an authentic sushi restaurant, in my opinion. Would never order take out from them. read more

Kin 2 Kin - Wonderful fresh crab salad with a side of sweet carrots. I love the fact that it's extremely consistent and easy to visit in downtown. - Japanese Near Me - Morganton, North Carolina

This is a tiny sushi bar in downtown Morganton right by the courthouse. The sushi here at Kin2Kin is way more pricier than other surrounding sushi places but it is by far the best sushi I had around here! My favorite sushi here has to be the Sunset Roll! If you don't like sushi, never had sushi, or want to try sushi definitely go in and order yourself a Sunset roll. You can thank me later!! Because I find myself craving for the Sunset roll often! Some of the cons is the parking but it is downtown so that understandable. Another thing to be aware of is the food does take awhile to come out so if you're in a hurry, call ahead of time! The waitresses are sweet and always make sure your drinks never go empty! They also come back regularly to check if everything okay. Definitely drop by and give Kin2Kin a try, you won't regret it! read more

Kin 2 Kin - Sunset roll and green lady roll - Japanese Near Me - Morganton, North Carolina

Got the avocado roll and tofu entree. Tofu was great! Cooked well and teriyaki sauce was great. Avocado roll was well made except the sushi rice had been prepared with too much vinegar. Really affordable dishes, but you get what you pay for. read more

Best fried Tofu around! Plus, unique sushi options. Great local joint for teens and up.

We came out tonight for a full three course meal. Appetizer, soup, and entree. We got the edamame and miso soup to start. very disappointed. The edamame was clearly not freash, most likely frozen. The beans inside wear mushy and unflavored. The skin of the outside; which normally stays intact when pulling the beans out of their shell; was falling apart and squishy. Well salted at least but otherwise not unappetizing. The miso soup was very light is coloration and not as salted as a good miso usually is. The nori in the soup consisted of very thin and uniform strips with little to no flavor or texture. The worst part of the soup was it's most familiar ingredient. The tofu. It was small and dry. Chewy in a bad way. Definitely worst tofu and miso I've ever had. It was undoubtedly poured out of a manufactured bag of ingredients. I love miso soup and I was very disappointed with this rendition. For the rest of our meal we ordered a sushi roll and a teriyaki chicken meal. We waited for 30 minutes for out entrees even the the small restaurant was hardly packed. The teriyaki chicken was the star of the meals. Is had a good amount of sauce and flavor. the fried rice had a good flavor and was not dry. The chicken was moist and tender as well. The roll we ordered was the corn roll. It was basically a Cali roll fried inside of a corn dog shell. It was decent but nothing to write home about. All in all it was an ok experience but I would have done a lot of things differently. read more

Good: Delicious Vegan options, friendly staff, reasonable price This place is awesome! Not so good: One time I ordered edamame and it tasted like it was put in the microwave. read more

they are very short staffed ,and very rude.they gave our seats up when we were prepared and they were supposed to call us.the only good thing here is the chicken and rice.they have no modesty and take forever to bring food and drinks by the time we got served we missed our movie and it was time to leave they forgot things on our bill to and we still payed for the drink they left on the tab after we told them we didn't get it and the food1/10. read more

This place was so good!! The fresh ginger sauce was amazing - really my mother is super picky and she loved it! Service was great and She was very friendly. Definitely will be coming back here read more

Decent place, tables are sticky, dirty menus, place is overall kinda unkept-looking. Decent food though.

Wonderful experience and awesome food! The chicken teriyaki was great, and the spicy tuna roll was fantastic. Had a special request for them to make my roll smaller for me and they handled it perfectly! Service was great and drinks were always refilled. I've lived in Morganton for two years and my biggest regret has been never trying this restaurant before! read more

Aside from the amazing sushi where else can you get a steak and scallops combo that you can choose the temperature of the steak so you can actually enjoy the flavor and it comes with 5 full size scallops! Never had a bad dish from here. read more

Went there for first with my sister thought we would try something new WRONG service was horrible they brought my salad no silver ware had to ask waited 5 minutes for that. when they first brought food out wasn't ours we had ordered hibachi chicken rice n carrots, me stake shrimp rice n carrots that took 30 minutes also my spicy yellow tail sushi wasn't what I had expected as sushi 8 pieces both dinners were luke warm the carrots were the only thing hot. they never came back to check on you if you need or food was good. Place wasn't the cleanest most fast foods are cleaner. don't know about were there ratings come from but we won't be going back! we've had better food from take oriental restaurants around. read more

I absolutely love the sushi, the service, and the prices. This is one of the MUST VISIT restaurants in Morganton. I really like sitting at the sushi bar because the guys are always friends and even will let you sample some variety of sushi. They have a half-priced menu on Sundays and Mondays from 5pm-7pm which has a lot of variety. They are just a great friendly and relaxing place. My only issue with them and why I can't give them 5 stars is sometimes when you are sitting at the bar you have to listen to whatever music the cooks are playing and it isn't always my taste of music. But that won't stop me from coming back each week. read more

Thanks so much for the referral from our neighbors at Catawba trivia night. Awesome rolls!!!!!!

Came to visit my mom and decided to take her to lunch and chose this place. She ordered hibachi shrimp which was freaking DELICIOUS. I know because I was sneaking a few bites, lol. I had the Eel Dragon and the eel was cooked perfectly. Bao was my server and she was great! Bubbly personality, and checked in bringing napkins knowing we needed them and a box because I was so full. Give this place a try! read more

BUYER BEWARE you will never want to eat at another Japanese restaurant in town again this WILL 120% promise you to make you feel those ones suck. This restaurant is so damn good and they have never failed. the hibachi chicken,steak,fried tofu and shrimp are all delicious. I always get a side salad as well it's the perfect size. All of it is very filling, great portions and fresh. A++++++ restaurant. read more

The sushi here is great! I absolutely love the sunset roll and I would strongly recommend that to anyone going here!

Best sushi in Morganton! My favorite rolls are the brown dragon and the sexy dragon. The sushi is a little pricey but they offer specials Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Service is always great and the hibachi food is yummy as well. I love the mushroom soup. read more

In my opinion Kin to Kin has the best Sushi in my area. Comparable or better than Wild Wok of Hickory, and at a much lower price. Their menu is very limited if you are not there for sushi, mostly hibachi meals, but those are good every time I go as well. The atmosphere is always nice and calm there, and the waitresses are pretty and sweet. If you sit at the sushi bar the cooks are nice and will usually give you a little extra bit of food. They have a Nintendo Wii in the restaurant which is usually playing kids movies, but in one experience quite some time ago a friend and I grabbed the remote and switched to some anime. No one at the restaurant seemed to mind. Overall I have not had a bad experience at this place. read more

Food was very good and priced well. My wife and I had the spring roll appetizer, spicy tuna roll, and two hibachi entrees for less than $20. They need to work on their service. I think they forgot our entree orders so we had to wait 30 minutes longer than needed. If they improve the service process this will be an excellent restaurant. read more

Tried this place for the second time. Terrible sushi in my opinion, and I adore sushi.I ordered a Yellowtail roll (not spicy) and added smelt eggs. They charged $2.00 for the smelt eggs and I barely got any (they put them on the inside too, who does this??). The rice was warm, which caused the fish to warm! Yuck!! Please, learn to make sushi rice. Should be cooled, soft and tender, not hard, like it was minute rice or something. Also ordered a Rainbow roll. Looked nice but the fish was flavorless and tasted of being frozen, then thawed. They added a bizarre ingredient to both rolls - MAYO! OMG! NOOOOOOO! That just made me want to send the whole order back. I don't care if I am in Burke County, NO ONE SHOULD PUT PLAIN MAYO on sushi. I won't be back. Ever. Sorry. I've tried Kobe sushi, it was decent. Wasabi Sushi in Asheville was good too. Oh, Kin Kin does not serve beer or saki either. However, The waitress offered a fried Twinkie for dessert . -.- read more

The Red Dragon was pretty decent but the other rolls we go were blah. Seems like the Sushi (rice) needed a different sugar:salt ratio.

We love the sushi at Kin 2 Kin! DH and I have been eating sushi here every week for the past few months. The wait staff and sushi chefs are always friendly and efficient. We like to sit at the sushi bar and chat with the sushi chefs as they prepare our meal. The spring roll and albacore roll (not on the menu) are our favorites. We also love the spicy tuna roll, philly roll, scallop roll, and avocado maki roll. They have many rolls for 1/2 price on Sunday and Monday nights - an amazing bargain. read more
