Hawaiian roll
Jaden M.

i had called in a takeout order for 3 rolls of sushi while traveling, turns out this was a totally different place. the man said he could have my order done in 12 minutes if i went ahead and ordered, so i did. the sushi was amazing! and at 3 rolls and broth for $30 it was a great deal. i'm not from here so i don't know if ill get to come back but 10/10!

I love the sushi here. The service is quick. The sushi is fresh. This place is quick to be #1 with me! Thank you Kobe Express for great sushi!

Stopped here on a whim, and was shocked at the quality of the sushi rolls. Wife ordered hibachi beef. I ordered a paradise roll. First of all, the roll was huge. I have a good appetite, and struggled to finish it. The flavors and combination of fish was extraordinary. Perhaps one of the best rolls I've ever had. Wife's dish didn't have as much flavor, but quality and quantity were excellent. Not sure what those other folks experienced, but service was great, and we ate on nice ceramic dinnerware. The place is clean, with granite tables. We will make this a regular stop when we pass through here.

Crunch roll and shrimp tempura roll.

First visit, buy will not be our last. Good food. Large portions. My wife said it was the best seaweed salad she has ever had! I had the crunch roll and the shrimp tempura roll. Both were very good. Looking forward to our next visit!

Catamount Roll, Amazon Roll, Crazy Roll, Rock n' Roll

Pleasant surprise in the middle of BBQ and traditional American food region. Egg rolls were very good as well as the jumbo shrimp and dumplings. The sushi was on par with a good sushi joint closer to the coast, portion size was huge on the rolls. Overall great value and pleasant service!

The clear soup is super flavorful!! Absolutely wonderful! The service is a little slow, but the food is pretty decent. The "jumbo" shrimp leave little to be desired. I would hate to see what the regular sized shrimp look like. They do not have sake which is a staple for me when I go to Japanese steakhouses. They were very accommodating for substituting zucchini instead of fried rice and carrots. All in all I would give this place a 3.5.

Was trying to figure out what to pick up for dinner and we had never been to Kobe so we decided to…read moreorder it to-go. We couldn't find a menu for the Sylva location but for one for another location in the area and that seemed to work. I ordered the Jumbo Shrimp & Steak Hibachi with no broccoli and subbed rice for Soba Noodles. I was a little odd that they didn't ask how I wanted my steak cooked since that in normally with most hibachi restaurants. Once our food was picked up I will say it was a pretty big serving. My shrimp were bigger then the normal shrimp but not by much. But the shrimp and steak had good flavor and I was a fan of the mushrooms it came with. I will say the serving of the Soba Noodles was on the smaller side though. The carrots seemed like they were just boiled and chopped up. Most likely were not cooked on a flat top and have never little flavor. Thank god for Shrimp Sauce right. Prices were similar wo what you get from most hibachi restaurants but did think the quality holds up to others. They also didn't have any Soy Sauce to go which was also odd. Would maybe come back if I was really craving Hibachi but most likely would not be my first pick.

My wife went to western, we came in here while visiting for a football game. Super clean, amazingly…read morekind service, very good prices, high quality food, great music, just overall a great experience!

We came on a whim and discovered this gem 15 minutes away from Maggie Valley…read more Store is beautiful and clean. We came on a Thursday late afternoon/Early evening and got sat quickly. Waiter was spot on - tended to us quickly to get our drinks. He came and took our order and food came out fairly quickly. The vegetable tempura was great - not greasy and this one had broccoli and eggplant (I dont like eggplants but I am sure someone will.appreciate this). Fried rice - even though it was kids, it was fantastic. It was not oil soaked and the flavor was so clean. Even my picky husband said it taste so good! Rice was not mushy.. it was, excellent! The Chow Hor Fun? I wont lie... I disnt have high hopes as a restaurant in the Carolinas. Boy was I wrong! The noodles were al dente, beautiful mix of all the veggies and protein. Sauce was a little sweet for my taste, so I was able to request for some chilli sauce and was all good. Also, not greasy. I was happy. My husband got the tuna sushi nigiri, tuna roll, salmon nigiri and white tuna. It was really good! Everything was bright and did not smell fishy. Last note - portions are freakin HUGE! Like i ate a third and took the rest' and the container was full. My daighters "kids" fried rice was packed to the brim. Expect left overs, u less your a competitive eater. The price, value and quality, this was def a 5 star - our first and only in our vacation here. Highly recommend - speaking as a Chinese vacationing in the carolinas that was getting desperate for any semblance of chinese food

Based on my own personal experience while having lunch at Watami Sushi And Noodles on 33 South Main…read moreStreet, Waynesville, North Carolina, I can NOT recommend this establishment for the extreme hostility and hatred I experienced there by the staff on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. While I do wish to acknowledge that Watami Sushi And Noodles does have the absolute legal right to deny anyone service; the staff of Watami Sushi And Noodles does not have the legal right to discriminate against anyone and violate anyone's Civil Rights on the basis of race, religion, and/or creed. Around 1:15 p.m. on  Wednesday, May 13, 2026, I entered Watami Sushi And Noodles on 33 South Main Street, Waynesville, North Carolina with the only goal of having lunch. When the hostess saw me, she had a look of absolute shock terror on her face and instead of greeting me with a "Hello" or "Welcome," she immediately tried to get me to just get take out only.  Only after repeatedly stating several times that I didn't want to order take out and that I wanted to dine there, she waved to a host/server who took one look at me and loudly said "OH" before seating me at a small table in the middle of the establishment.  Please note, there were other diners there. None of the staff was friendly or welcoming and rebuffed my attempts at conversation.  The waitress had an angry expression and tone with me, but not with other patrons in the restaurant. I ordered Chicken Teriyaki with a Green Salad and a side of Miso Soup.  Both the Miso Soup and Chicken Teriyaki were lukewarm, boarding on cold.  The Green Salad was crisp and fresh.  I didn't get a chance to finish to soup or the salad because it was taken away post haste once my lunch order had arrived. Now why did the staff of Watami Sushi And Noodles act they way they did when I entered their establishment. Well, this is just my opinion, based on their actions:  they didn't welcome or want an observant Jew who was wearing a yamicha, along with business casual clothes, in their establishment. ZERO STARS.
