The hostess was also very friendly, greeting us when we came in and again when we were leaving. Our server was Jasmin, and unfortunately she didn't seem very friendly. She placed our bowls of soup out of reach, rarely refilled our drinks (only once, and that was because another server was filling them), and never checked in with us. When we asked questions, she seemed distracted and was looking behind us rather than engaging with us. When she brought the to-go boxes, she held them behind us instead of placing them in front of us. We were honestly thankful that another server stepped in to help, because we felt like we were inconveniencing Jasmin. I just wish we had cash so we could have tipped the cook and the other server separately.

Some of us order filets and the steaks were not filets! I don't think they were NY strips!! The shrimp tasted like it had been frozen for months which is ridiculous considering we are 3 hours from the beach in NC! They have really chosen chefs they don't know how to cook hibachi which I hate! I always choose Nakato's over Kabutos but now I guess I need to find a new spot! The service and the chefs are awful so I would not recommend it at all! You need new actually hibachi chefs and more servers to handle big crowds!

Once she arrived she took our drink orders and after waiting so long we were ready to place our order. I point this out because people seated after us not only placed their drink order but received their drinks before we were even greeted. We waited an additional 20 ish minutes to receive our drinks. I had to find someone to follow up on our orders. It was very disappointing, especially for the price point! We all go to hibachi for the "fun," "show," and "experience." Sadly it didn't deliver. It was a bit MEH. The food was good, but that's kinda it. One positive is that if you bring a cake they will store it in the fridge until your meal is over. I'm not sure that we will return. There are other establishments that we may try next time.

So his choice was here. Google directions suck they took us around the back to the parking garage for the 2nd level and since we have never been here before it took us a few minutes to figure out how to get down to the first level. When we entered there was a waiter taking an order and no one else on the floor so we had a little bit to get seated even though there were only two other parties in the restaurant. We were able to sit wherever we wanted so I sat with a view of the screen with the replay of the Brazil FIFA game on. My husband wanted the unagi don but didn't order because the price seemed high. The table next to us all ordered bowls and the serving size was huge so my husband regretted it. We order takoyaki, spicy wings, and 3 rolls Godzilla, Hadouken, and Master Roshi. The wings had amazing flavor but were not spicy. Takoyaki was flavorful and the perfect temperature. I get a lot of takoyaki that is entirely too hot and have to crack them open to cool before eating them. My husband did not enjoy the Godzilla roll he said the topping was too much and didn't add to the flavor. But enjoyed the other two. I enjoyed all three rolls the flavor was fresh and very little need for soy sauce fine without it. If we are ever in Charlotte with time to eat I would stop here again.

My wife and I had each visited Japanese steakhouses like this before we met, but somehow neither of us had been to one during our 18 years together. Then we discovered Noboru! We enjoyed our first visit so much that we returned just two weeks later. It isn't overly fancy--it offers the classic Benihana-style experience, with the chef preparing everything directly in front of you--but the food is tender, flavorful, and filling. Of course, you also get dinner and a show! The service was spot-on during both visits. We were always well taken care of, and everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I ordered the larger filet dinner both times and didn't change a thing. When something is that good, why mess with it? My wife ordered the steak and shrimp during our first visit, but she enjoyed my filet so much that she upgraded to the filet and shrimp on our return. Quality cuts of meat, skillful preparation, excellent seasoning, friendly service, and an entertaining experience have made Noboru a new favorite in our restaurant rotation. We thoroughly enjoyed both visits, had no complaints whatsoever, and will absolutely be back very soon. To those about to nosh, we are jealous!
