This place is wonderful. They care a lot about their product and it comes out tasting great. I am shocked this place is rated higher. It's very affordable and everything is fresh, they cook it right in front of you teppan yaki style. I got the squid and seaweed salad, all the nigiri, the steak and scallop hibachi, ginger salad. All of it was great. I recommend the scallop hibachi highly! read more

Sushi was excellent. Super fresh. And my bill was a fraction of the cost of what I have to usually pay at other sushi restaurants. They didn't have candy, but we got the gyozas and they were so yum read more

Food is authentic and prepared well. They do a great job with food quality. They have the best gyoza in town.

Exceptional service and great tasting food. Where most Japanese restaurants up-charge for sushi, this one does the opposite. All the rolls were high quality and delicious. Definitely a Savannah favorite and looking forward to trying more menu items soon. read more

In October of last year, Kakki changed ownership and wow the food is soo delicious! The customer service was amazing and the food is always fresh and great quality! This is definitely a hidden spot for great Asian food! Highly recommend!! read more

Went yesterday to have lunch. They open at 11 am and we got there at 11:10. We walked in and the lady was so rude and told us they weren't open yet she just about screamed at us and kicked us out. We will never go back there again. That is not a way to treat customers. read more

Got the Teriyaki chicken, it was not good. Everything tasted the same and also very salty including the shrimp sauce. I've had much better Japanese food at other comparable establishments. Service was not great either. Our waitress that was also the lady that checked us out at the counter, was not nice. Will not be returning! read more

Yummy Japanese food on the Island! While this place isn't the most charming on the outside, I was pleasantly surprised by Kakki. The menu is extensive with great appetizer, hibachi, and sushi options. They even make their own ginger dressing in house, which was delicious! We opted for sushi and ordered four rolls for two people. We chose two regular/raw rolls (philly and spicy squid) and two special/fried rolls (Heiwa special roll and volcano). The fried rolls were huge! All four were absolutely amazing and filling- we couldn't even finish it all. The servers were excellent as well. I'm so glad we finally tried Kakki! It's right down the street from where I live, so I'm sure I will be ordering takeout there soon! Don't let the outside fool you- I would definitely recommend this place to those looking for an affordable Japanese meal on the island. read more

February 27, 2015 Friday 6:30 PM 1 Adult and a kid Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 4 stars Service - 4 stars Background - My daughter picked the place out as it was close to house. Atmosphere - They are missing the KAK on the sign above the door but the graphics on the window is correct. Part of a small strip mall and its foot print in it short but long. The open kitchen is to the right when you walk in and the tables to the right. The yellow textured walls were weird. Food Drinks - Asahi Japanese beer. Food - I had two sushi rolls for $10, both were solid. I was able to watch them make them in the kitchen. I was able to point out the steps they took to make it to my daughter. My daughter's chicken teriyaki was a little over cooked but the seasoning was good. Service - Friendly. Somehow my daughter spilled her drink and she noticed but she seemed more concern with her not falling over the pop on the floor. But the pop remained there on the floor the entire time we were there. Future - If my daughter wants too. read more

Great food. Very friendly staff. Our kids loved their food. Tasted fresh. Really good foo read more

Kakki is close to my parents house in Savannah and is the perfect place for a quick weeknight meal or takeout. The food is always piping hot and they only use the freshest ingredients. Plus I love that I can go there and get a big meal without breaking the bank. I love their tofu teriyaki and they do a great job with the vegetables. I also love their simple house salad with avocado. They basically give you an entire avocado on it! I have tried a few of their sushi rolls and they were definitely good enough to get a sushi fix if you need one. I have dined in and taken out on multiple occasions and have always been very happy with the service and good quality. I know they have been open for a while and I hope they continue to do well! read more

Kakki's is a perfect, home-feel Asian restaurant for those vacationing near Tybee Island. I make several trips for take-out here, and would definitely recommend trying the teriyaki chicken, which is unbelievably good and very well priced. The sushi is pretty decent too, the only downside to Kakki's is the slow wait time during rush hours, but I would highly recommend it for Asian food and sushi aficionados. read more

Unfortunately, terrible - they were out of the items I wanted including yakisoba which is on the menu. But that's not why I say terrible. The quality of beef served with the teriyaki beef was awful. Perhaps the worst cut of beef I've had in a restaurant in years. Many years. And it was exceptionally greasey. It was all fat and gristle with a few grams of actual Edible meat. I'm sorry to leave such a negative review as I really encourage smaller family restaurants that aren't chains. But they really have to improve if they wish to stay competitive. read more

After spending many an evening at Hiranos, we are happy to have found an Island Japanese restaurant that has both wonderful teriyaki and sushi! The service is friendly and very fast which is convenient if you are in a hurry or looking to carry out. Unfortunately, they don't deliver but that is only to be expected as very few places on Wilmington or Whitmarsh Island do deliver. Call ahead if you know you're on your way to make sure they have either bar space or a table ready for you. You can't go wrong with the gyozas and chicken teriyaki especially if you get their brown rice- it's delicious! read more

Good food and almost always good service. Very friendly. They act like they are happy to see you. Plus they remember the regular customers and greet them as they enter. Only negative so far is occasionally they are understaffed and service suffers, but that hasn't happened very often. My favorite is the teriyaki chicken. Generous portion and consistently good. read more

This is a solid choice for Ameri-Japanese, and probably the best option for Japanese food east of town. So, if you're staying on Tybee and need sushi, this is your place. It's also great for locals like us who live nearby. They always make us feel welcome, and the consistency of the food and service is always a pleasure. It's one of our go-to options when we want to go out but can't decide where, as there are menu options to satisfy everyone in the family. My wife LOVES the tuna and avocado salad, which she often pairs with a hibachi vegetables entree for dinner. I must say, that salad is really nice. Kakki makes that a cheap date! read more

Absolutely love the staff here. We live 2 minutes away, so this is our go-to sushi take out spot. Sushi selection is limited, but that doesn't bother us. It is more of a hibachi place, after all. We come back because we're treated like family. Fair prices, and consistent food. Not a bad deal for Whitemarsh Island. Thank you for taking care of us. read more

I had read the glowing review for Kakki, so when my parents were in town for the holidays, I decided to take them here. Thirty minutes later, we left. The pleasant server found us a table in the busy restaurant quickly, and came back with our drink order mostly right (missing one sake), so they get one star. One side of the menu offered a fairly comprehensive Japanese selection with a few Chinese dishes thrown in for good measure. If you flipped it over, there was a large sushi menu that included several creative-sounding rolls. After three out of four ordered sushi, the waitress came back and reported that they could not make any sushi, as there was no one available to make it. We asked for a few more minutes to go over the other half of the menu, and she complied without making us feel rushed (again, the only reason they have a star). When she came back, two of us ordered a beef dish. Unfortunately, they were out of beef. "How about the noodles?" my father asked, "Are they any good?" The waitress informed him that they are indeed excellent. However, they were out of noodles. At 6:30pm on a Monday night, it turns out that all this place had available was Chicken or Shrimp Teriyaki with rice. My only question was, why didn't the waitress simply tell us that before we ordered our drinks? It would have saved us a lot of time and aggravation. Maybe Kakki serves wonderful teriyaki with rice. Unfortunately, my family was in the mood for something a little more adventurous, so we paid for our drinks and headed elsewhere. If I decide to try this place again, I'll be sure to call ahead to see if they are actually offering any Japanese food. read more

This place is trash. Dirty tables rude waitress. Walked out. Will never return. Much better options around town

Awesome joint. Excellent food and service. I highly recommend you trying this place out. Very friendly servers. Very busy for such a small out of the way place. read more

Kakki Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Wow! Beginning to end. Quality food! Wonderful staff. Super friendly environment. There are no complaints. Just compliments. First time coming here after my sister in law raves about this place for years of how great it is. She's right it is awesome. Try to Eel Roll & Savannah Special roll. And the teriyaki salmon is so big! Definitely will be back. A+ A+ A+ read more

I hate to leave such a negative review but I want to warn others about how down hill this place has gone! I have been eating here since they opened 20+ years ago, and they were always excellent in both food preparation and lovely staff. I was shocked last week when I went in to eat, normally there is a wait to be seated but this night we were the only people in the place. I ordered a hot sake and I was brought a beer. I politely asked if they were out of sake and the waitress seemed confused by the question. I ordered the same thing I always get, shrimp and steak with rice. We also got gyozoes when they were delivered to the table the smell of rotten food engulfed our table. I wanted to leave then but the person I was with said that we were going to wait and see if our entrees were better. I'm sad to admit it but the entrees were even worse than the appetizers. We decided to get up, pay for the beers. The cashier was curious about why we were so unhappy. We explained the event and that we were very unhappy. She didn't seem to understand. I will never go back to this restaurant again. I'm sad that it has come to this. read more

Food is always 100% right on. The staff is always friendly and kind. I travel a lot and always find myself looking for a place to eat with comparable food, and it's not out there. Really good food. Thanks read more

the teriyaki is the best in town! huge sushi/sashimi selection all excellent!!

Lovely! I've been to Kakki many times and I'm never disappointed. The staff is friendly and fast, we were in and out in less than an hour, having ordered both hot and cold food! And what excellent food it is, always fresh and prepared beautifully. Quite the island location for sushi at a fair price! read more

One of the best Japanese restaurant in Savannah area!! Everything on the menu is at least 17 dollars or under... The sushi is 10 dollars and under.. Very affordable GOOD food if your on a budget. I would recommended everything on the menu! I especially love the sushi menu.. Order everything on the combination sushi! My favorite is the Hewei Roll, red dragon roll, Wizard rook, volcano, dynamite......... You should just get the whole thing.. I do have to say, come there right when there open bc it does get busy around 6-830.. If you want your food right away that is. Overall, it's worth the wait for the food read more

This is a very nice teriyaki restaurant. The food is always prepared well and is very fresh. I've been here four times over the past two months and the food has been excellent and consistent. Appetizers are fresh and delicious. Not a very big place, but you shouldn't have to wait on a table. Best teriyaki in Savannah. read more

I simply love this restaurant. I'm here about once per week because I just can't get enough and it is good healthy food. The teriyaki (chicken, steak, shrimp, scallop, and/or fish) is very good. The spring rolls and gyoza are some of the best around. And the sushi is also very good and fresh. I have yet to find a single item on the menu that I dislike. The staff are also friendly and accommodating. read more

We literally walked in at 8:30, we know they close at 9, but if you are going to be rude to consistent customers then say you really want to close at 8:30pm. The food is good but the male waiter was rude and short. He seemed overwhelmed when the restaurant is not even that big. Again the food is good as always just may want to find a new server. read more

So excited to find this jewel! We lived here 20 yrs ago and just moved back. We always ate at the original Hirano's, which is no longer good since it was bought out! So happy the owner of Kaki trained under the great Hirano and cooks like he did! Thank you, thank you! read more

Completely americanized Japanese. If you can call it that. It had the taste of Chinese food. I get a dragon roll at every Japanese restaurant I go, and this place was atrocious. The service was good. But just not what I expected from a Japanese restaurant. read more

Hostess was very friendly and was sushi was aces! Nice proportions of rice and fish on my nigiri and the rolls were excellent.

Best gyozas in town! We use to own Ninan on Wilmington island and these are as close to Niban gyozas as when we make them at home. Great friendly service. The sushi is good. The salmon is my favorite. read more

This place is really good! I've been here twice and service has been very quick. The restaurant seems to be pretty popular as there have been plenty of customers when I've gone. I highly recommend the island spring roll. It's basically sushi fried in what I think is peanut oil, and topped with 2 kinds of sauces, seaweed salad and fish eggs! It's delicious, filling and only $7.50! read more

Love this little local favorite. Wonderful food and service. Love the ginger dressing!

It's not flashy, but the food is wonderful and the people are so sweet. They have really great sushi and their hibachi dinners are excellent as well. Always my choice for sushi/Japanese food in the area!! read more

Divey gem-of-an island, Japanese hibachi spot. Close to on par with TACA (in town) at one-third of the price, if that. I've tried the seaweed and squid salad ($5), miso soup ($1.5), and spicy tuna toll (hand-rolled before my very, bar-seated eyes) among other offerings. For the price and quality, the strip mall setting ought to be overlooked. If value and taste are your metrics, check this place out; if environment and frills rank up there, order pick-up -- you won't be disappointed. read more

Great little place with good food a quick service . We took my family on Saturday for dinner and it doesn't look like much, usually a sign of good food. If you want a nice meal and good conversation this place is it. read more

Walked in for lunch, was extremely hot and stuffy in the restaurant. I came to eat sushi and when I ordered it, I was told it would be a really long time because they had another order. This is a tiny restaurant. Don't put things on the menu that you won't serve to customers. read more

If you want quality, delicious, reasonably priced Japanese food, Kakki is the place to go! I have loved everything on the menu I have tried! Definitely does not disappoint! read more
