We decided to celebrate my mom's birthday at this teppanyaki restaurant and made the drive out to…read moreFresno. It was our first time visiting, and overall we had a wonderful experience. One word of advice: if you're planning to join the waitlist, I recommend calling ahead for a more accurate wait time. The website initially showed no one ahead of us, but after joining the waitlist it indicated several parties were waiting. When we arrived, we were told the wait would be about 45 minutes, which wasn't ideal with a couple of hungry kids. Thankfully, we were seated within about 10 minutes. Our server, Patrick, was fantastic! He provided excellent customer service, took the time to explain the sushi rolls, helped us navigate the kids' menu, and was attentive throughout our meal. Patrick, thank you for helping make my mom's birthday dinner so memorable. Khasey was our chef, and the food was absolutely delicious. He made sure we had every sauce we asked for. The teppanyaki experience for the children was engaging and fun. To top it off, the staff brought out a cute birthday dessert and sang a birthday tune for my mom, which made the celebration even more special. The location is another huge plus. It's situated in a great area near Fresno State with plenty to do before or after dinner, including ice cream shops, boba spots, VR gaming, and movie theaters. Overall, we had a great experience and can't wait to come back!

Everything came out of the kitchen and bar promptly and our chef for the evening was a DELIGHT!! There were two special events at our table so they got sparklers as a part of the show which was so fun! Not only did the chef have all the tricks of a fun teppenyaki up his sleeve but the food was immaculate! Moist flavorful rice, crisp veggies and meat done to everyone's preference. I was here one other time where we just got sushi and that was fun too! Overall I very nice experience and good food.

I love it but their brand I did not like. Their spring salad was pretty boring and it lacked complexity Miso soup typical uninventive They gave me a cucumber salad with crab that I really liked it came with my chiriashi My chiriashi : Presentation fantastic Quantity of fish fantastic The bed of rice was kind of cold. I would've preferred warmer fresh rice. I ordered fresh wasabi root It was a bit chunky. I'd prefer it more minced it's hard for me to get the right proportion on my sushi with a large chunk that was presented with I'd say it was diced not minced Honest, four stars Definitely not five due to the lack of complexity

Per usual, there's lots of seating around the grills that is perfect for big groups and parties. Our chef was so kind and offered to still do the fun teppanyaki tricks even though it was just us 2. I got the seafood combo and it was delightful. Comes with shrimp, calamari scallops, and salmon. My partner got the toro trio, which comes with chicken, teriyaki steak, and shrimp. Everyone who eats at teppanyaki also gets veggies and bacon fried rice. They are always so kind to leave out the bacon if that's not your jam. They'll just fry yours first! Lots of flavorful butter is used to grill everything, but just remind yourself teppanyaki is always a treat! Chef will ask if you like spicy or not and then will give you sauce accordingly. Sauce is always the best part for me! Not sure what they put in it, but I'm sure it's more butter with spices lol. One of my fav teppanyaki spots in town! This is the 2nd time I've been there & would come again :)

I really want to like this restaurant. So here's my first complaint that I noticed immediately. I…read moreordered the s Sangria at the bar, while we were waiting to be seated. The bartender gives me half a glass with a ton of ice. When we are finally seated at the table next to us, a young lady had the same drink as I and when it was served to her, it was filled almost to the brim. Why is that? Our server - we really wanted to like him but poor guy was all over the place. A 5:30pm reservation, we got drinks around 6pm, chef came out around 6:45pm and we didn't leave until 8pm. Our server mixed up tabs and actually charged the wrong amount on someone in our party ticket. It was a mess! The food was good though! But the customer service skills in the restaurant need to be ironed out

This place is quiet and laid back. No music playing and never packed the times I've come. Quick and…read morefriendly service. I have only come during lunch hour. The food is solid and good. Huge menu with a lot to choose from - I usually go for the bento boxes. The tempura isn't greasy but it's crunchy. Gyozas are good and fresh. The sushi I've tried has been tasty too. There's another side to the restaurant that I believe is the teppanyaki side. Haven't experienced it yet since I've only come for lunch. I'm wondering if they get a lot of business since it's so barren when I go. Hoping they get enough business because I do enjoy this restaurant!

Once we walked in we noticed it was pretty empty for a Saturday afternoon, but nonetheless we weren't bothered or worried.

Great music selection and the sushi chefs were a blast to talk with. Their humor made our lunch even that more enjoyable. We definitely made some friends and looking forward to come back another time.

So when my son asked us to meet him, his lovely wife and our 3 granddaughters for dinner on a recent visit I didn't have my hopes up. Namikaze is a nice quiet restaurant that from its decor could easily be an Italian, French or American restaurant. Just change the paintings on the wall. The Menu is pretty expansive. A full menu of Sushi, noodles, gyoza and rolls made it difficult to choose but eventually we narrowed it down. I always try the Unagi (eel) at any sushi restaurant. It is my barometer for how good everything else will probably be. It was good. I also ordered the Kimono Roll while my wife had Shogun roll. We also tried the Chicken Gyoza. Everything was terrific. Excellent taste and fresh. Next time someone asks me about Fresno I'll say "Fresno! They have good sushi there". Definitely Recommended.

I came by for the first time on a weekday lunch with the intentions to grab a quick meal to-go…read more The lunch crowd is light as to be expected. I was immediate greeted by the two Sushi chefs behind the counter as I walked in. Not long after, the host greeted me and handed me a menu for me to select my order to go. I considered a poke bowl, however, their sauces were pretty standard. So instead I opted for their seaweed salad that came with a number of protein including tuna, edamame, shrimp, avocado, and masago. It was $19, so it wasn't necessarily inexpensive, however I figured a poke bowl with a couple proteins would run me right about there as well. The sushi chef got right away to work preparing my meal and I was in and out within 5 minutes. When I got home, I opened up my box and was a little underwhelmed with the presentation. The protein is cut up into small pieces and mixed in with the seaweed salad. In addition it is not pure seaweed as it is also mixed in with a bunch of other greens such as sprouts. So while the presentation was not what I was expecting, I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed the flavors and textures. I will definitely order this again.
