Family owned. I've eaten here twice. The kimchi is delicious! If you're looking for the Ritz go somewhere else, but if you want decent food, try it! read more

Narita Express - Sushi Bars Near Me - Goldsboro, North Carolina

Worse ramen I've had in a while! The broth was tasteless and I felt like I was drinking flavored water (only thing you could taste was the egg). I asked for spicy and let's just say that wasn't met either. All in all, don't waste your $12, the 17cent ones from Walmart are bette read more

Fantastic food, friendly service, favorite restaurant of all time. The bibimbap is my go-to. I literally come here every time I come back to Goldsboro. read more

Nothing but good stuff at this place. Awesome service, awesome food, they never disappoint. I've never ordered anything I didn't absolutely love. My favorites are the cucumber kimchi, kimchi soup, and spicy tuna roll. This place is definitely a gem, and I drove past it for years without knowing it was there but I'm glad I know now :) read more

The food was amazing! We loved the beef bulgogi - the spicer, the better! The chicken bulgogi was just okay - bland in my opinion. We enjoyed the cucumber kimchi, california rolls as well. The service was great, food received quickly. read more

Horrible, is this a joke? I seen "hidden gem" and other raving reviews. Yelp has to be on its way down hill. For anyone to consider this place anything put a sub par place is either lying or their top dining experience is a lunch coupon to the Olive Garden. At $23 for myself I literally just ate a bowl of rice, what a waste. The Beef Bulgogi, a Korean dish- was fatty cheap beef that when it started to cool off was not able to be eaten. The tuna roll was bland, yes bland and your can tell the tuna was sitting around for a while. The miso soup, was hot water mix like from the supermarket, and the green tea- well it was hot water. I never had a loose leaf tea that didn't brew, well I found it here at this "hidden gem"!!! Insane. This place is beyond bad. Go anywhere but here. The place is cheesy as hell, and make you feel cheap. Just look at my photos. Hey waitress was very nice, but for $23 bucks I can pay someone to be nice to me and just eat a bowl of rice. Screw this place- hope this review helps someone to never go here. read more

See all

Visited this place hoping to get a quick bite to eat before shopping in Goldsboro. Not a bad establishment, kind of hidden behind another building but the interior is cute and modest. Definitely not a night on the town place more of a quick lunch type place. After contemplating between bulgogi and bibimbap, I chose to go for a Bento box with bulgogi, salad, and a California roll. I know not terribly authentic from the get go. The bulgogi actually had decent flavor and the rice was obviously Korean but the salad and California roll left something to be desired. The waitress while extremely sweet would disappear into the back for long periods of time....I couldn't even ask for wasabi or ginger because she never checked on the table. Eh...I might comeback for lunch if I was really craving bulgogi but more than likely this will be a one time stop. read more

A cute little korean restaurant that has a decent amount of food to choose from. I usually order either the bibimbap or the galbi. The mandoo is a bit on the small side but still tastes good. The galbi is always really tender and full of flavor and the bibimbap is more filling than it looks. The only thing I don't like is that unlike most korean restaurants I've been to, there are none of those free yummy little side dishes with different types of veggies brought to your table. read more

First time trying this place. I came in for lunch and they have daily specials. I ordered the beef bulgogi which comes with rice and two dumplings for 5.99. It was absolutely delicious! Not too salty, not too sweet and just filling enough for lunch. Men might want to order an appetizer with it, but for someone with an average appetite it was just right! Would definitely return. read more

The Japche, although good, was not the texture that I was expecting. The texture was more like a seaweed salad, which I felt really did not match the taste. I know, I'm weird. read more

Had korean hot pork. It was good. This is not a typical korean Resturant. No kimchi and other condiments unless you order them and you are charged for it. read more

Came here for some good ol' korean food and was really impressed. Didn't expect much at first since it's tucked away and not very visible but it turned out to be quite the gem. The bulgogi was seasoned perfectly. Will be coming back soon. read more

Although the location isn't a great one, the food is the finest in Goldsboro. The beef bulgogi is perfecto and the best in the surrounding states! The cucumber Kim Chee is always wonderful too. read more

I love Narita Express. It's the "hole in the wall" gem you are proud to know about and can impress your out of town guests with. The food is always delicious and much better quality than other Asian restaurants in Goldsboro. The portions are generous and they have awesome combination platters so you can enjoy a little bit of everything. The staff is always really friendly and helpful. The first time I visited to order take out, I think the owner hand-delivered my food to me after cooking it in the kitchen. To summarize, great food, good prices, variety and a friendly staff. Go here! read more

Good Korean food priced right. Take out is quick, staff is friendly, portions are just right. The bugolgi and dumplings are fantastic, tempura is decent. I'm not a big fan of sushi, but I've heard from others (sushi lovers) it's great. For the value, speed and friendliness, it can't be beat in Goldsboro. read more

Service is slow, but the staff is friendly. I ordered a kimchi soup, and it was super spicy. The atmosphere was nice, but I think the food was overpriced. read more

I am in love with this hidden gem, it's so hard to find Korean food in our area although this place an is hour drive for us we think it is totally worth it, this is the closest Korean restaurant to us and even though it isn't authentic Korean food the dishes are packed with flavor and it hits the spot every time.. we ordered two apps (wings and kimbap) two dinners (kimchi soup and galbi) and a desert chocolate and strawberry mochi) and nothing was left over lol wish it was closer to home but anytime we are driving through we stop and eat here! read more

This place is great. Can't get enough of the beef bulgogi. Daughter loves the sushi. I'm giving it 4 stars due to location and decor- the food is definitely a 5 star. Even the salad with the house ginger dressing is delicious and I don't even like ginger. Going to pick up some bulgogi for dinner tonight! NOM NOM read more

Their bulgogi is so good, my mother quit making it and we just go here instead. And their eel sushi is the best in the area. They do more of a takeout business, and the interior isn't exactly out of an interior decorating magazine, but for those who care more about quality of food than ambience, this is a great place to go. read more

Very good food . The portions were a bit small but for the price it was ok . Menu was small but what we had was very tasty . The prices are very reasonable . My husband has sushi and bulgogi and I had the Terriyaki chicken . Def will go back . read more

One of my new favorite places to eat in Goldsboro. I've been looking for some good Asian food around the area and Narita's is now at the top. Great interior, good service, and the food is amazing. Korean approved. Menu is a little off with Korean / Japanese mix but it's still good food. read more

Whenever I'm in Goldsboro I have to eat here. Beef Bulgogi is a must with yaki. I get it spicy and I love it.

So good! Love supporting small mom and pops! legit korean. but sushi is just ok. read more

After actually eating in Japan. I ordered the Yakisoba and it was as if the opened a cup of noodles and tossed it with vegetables.

This is the best korean/japanese restaurant in the area. The bulgogi and the sushi is the bomb.

Wanted some sushi for my birthday and decided to try Narita. I must say, I was thrilled. Not only was service excellent, but the bulgogi and sushi were fantastic. The owner came over and spoke with us. The food was so good and I don't know why I've not been here before but you can bet I'll be back. read more

I usually order the beef bulgogi plate when I'm at Narita's. The service is wonderful and the food has great flavor. The portions of the food is good. The restaurant is also nicely decorated and clean. I would highly recommend this Korean restaurant. read more

The food was excellent. Anna the owner is extremely nice and she makes you feel welcomed. The kimchi is homemade by Miss Anna and extremely good. I highly recommend this restaurant to one and all. I will definitely be back read more

5 for the food and simple yet charming decor. Had the Beef Bulgogi and rice with pot stickers... Pot stickers were okay. nothing special. The Bulgogi on the other hand was amazing. I've had it once before from an asian market, but this one was definately better. It's terrible that this place is in such a crummy area of town. they should definately relocate. They also have daily specials to help you save a buck or two. Can't wait to go back! read more

When mom n dad ask where we want to go out to eat we yell NARITAS at the same time. Amazing employees and the owners are the nicest ever. Food is amazing. Love it all. read more

I love this place! Great food and awesome people! We go so much the owners know us and always come out and speak when we go.

For fast food this place is awesome. My girl and I love picking up some take out. The portions are huge!! A large is more than enough for 2 people to be stuffed. Rolls are all good. The service is amazing. The owner always recognizes us and remembers what we like. Very doable prices. The yum yum sauce is off the chain. read more

When I tell you wanted to like this place, I really really mean it. I have been looking for a new sushi place in Goldsboro, because sometimes I just don't want Jays or Ninja. I was excited to try Narita based on reviews. My husband and I went on Tuesday night and I got nigiri sushi (salmon) and a maki roll (tuna) my husband got shrimp teriyaki. The Salmon was not super fresh, and neither was the tuna but I still ate it and I asked for white sauce & it tasted rancid. My husband didn't enjoy his food either the shrimp had a weird texture. Also when we walked in all you smelled was smoke, apparently someone smokes and doesn't think we can smell it in the dining area, newsflash: you can. It's very strong. There's also one waitress waiting on everyone, which if you have the time it's not a big deal, but if you're wanting a waitress to be super attentive, this is not the place. Overall, I don't know if I'll be back, I might give it another shot.. read more

No no no NO!! I ordered sushi, specifically a spider roll. As I was eating I noticed the crunchy part looked wierd. After close inspection I noticed it had eyes and a head!! I was beyond disgusted. I also ordered other sushi but it taste like white rice with no seasoning. I don't know about the other food but the sushi is a no go. read more

Went here for lunch with co-workers. It was my first time eating chicken bulgogi and it was delicious. If you're in the area and don't know what to have for lunch/dinner..go here. It will not disappoint. The california rolls were good too. read more

I have been looking for good Korean food for 5+ years and I think I found it!! The bulgogi is fantastic and traditional. The prices are reasonable. They have Korean and Japanese food to include sushi. The outside of the building is not that appealing but if you can get past that the inside isn't bad and the food is great! Service was very friendly. We will DEF be coming back again! read more
