Arrived around 5 min later with food almost ready! I try not to order close to closing time, but I'm glad they were kindly willing to accommodate! Curry chicken itself was really satisfying. Nice crunch and good curry flavor. Sashimi was pretty good and would order again if craving sushi! I think this restaurant is more catered for pickup since there isn't much seating. It's also connected to a gas station but cute inside!

The dining room is now closed. They do have a table with a few chairs at it, but the restaurant no longer has a bathroom, so they've closed the eat-in portion. The staff was friendly, but we didn't eat there. We were looking for a sit-down experience, and since it wasn't available we went elsewhere.

This place really knew how to set expectations HIGH…read more A massive parking lot completely packed with cars. Big groups of people waiting outside. Around a 30-minute wait for dinner. The restaurant itself was huge. At that point, I was convinced I had discovered the Din Tai Fung of the coast. I walked in expecting a life-changing meal. Unfortunately... my expectations may have been a little too ambitious. The good news first: the sushi saved the day. It was genuinely good. So good, in fact, that I ordered another roll called the Yummy Yummy Sushi. Great name, right? Unfortunately, the Yummy Yummy Sushi apparently decided it was not ready to participate in dinner. We waited. And waited. And waited. I kept hoping it would magically appear because I really didn't want to cancel it. But eventually, we had finished all our food and it was almost time for the check, so I had to say goodbye to my dreams of Yummy Yummy Sushi. The Tom Yum soup was probably the second-best item. Huge portion and pretty good. Now, let's talk about the Pad Thai. I have eaten Pad Thai in many places. But this was the first Pad Thai in my life that came with enough liquid to qualify as a soup. I honestly wasn't prepared for Soupy Pad Thai. I left more than half of it. The chicken fried rice was also unusually wet, and the chicken was bland and cut so thin that at times I genuinely couldn't tell whether I was eating chicken or egg. On the positive side, the prices were very reasonable, especially compared to many other beach-area restaurants where your wallet leaves hungrier than you do. The portions were generous too. Overall, I really wanted to love this place. With that crowd and the long wait, I was expecting a huge pleasant surprise. Instead, most of the meal was pretty mediocre. But here's the thing: options around Emerald Isle are limited. So if you're seriously craving Asian food, this is still a reasonable stop. Just maybe stick with the sushi... and if you order the Yummy Yummy Sushi, perhaps order it before you leave home.

They also gave us yum yum sauce- a must have for me! Everything tasted good and came out quickly. The meal was a bit pricey, but not too bad considering the soup and salad that comes with it.

If you've driven by and wondered about it, don't let the building fool you--it occupies the former Golden Corral, so the restaurant is huge. There's plenty of seating, making it a great option whether you're dining with a couple of people or a large group. The standout for me is the seafood boil. The combo options are absolutely on point, with generous portions, perfectly cooked seafood, and seasoning that brings everything together without overpowering the natural flavors. It's one of the better seafood boils I've had in eastern North Carolina. The sushi is equally impressive. Everything tasted fresh, was beautifully prepared, and offered a nice variety of traditional rolls and specialty creations. It's not often you find a place that does both seafood boils and sushi this well. The service was friendly and attentive, and despite the size of the restaurant, the food came out promptly. Whether you're in the mood for hibachi, sushi, or a seafood feast, Sake Hibachi Sushi & Bar delivers. It's a great addition to the New Bern dining scene, and I'll definitely be back.
