Sushi

Nagasaki is a staple for my family on birthdays. You should prepare yourself: this restaurant is dated. This is not Benihhana's. This is not a chain. This is a long standing neighborhood hibachi and the locals are very protective of it. You'll need reservations and still may have a small wait--well worth it for the food. Pro-Tips: As others said, there is a 2 for 1 coupon in the paper. Even without it, meals run $15-$20 and are very filling. Always order the fried rice. Be prepared for the chef's tricks. They can put chopsticks together for the kids at the table to give them the authentic experience. And, finally, you will be sharing the table with others, most likely. The communal tables sit 8.

This restaurant is a childhood memory of mine. The sauces and dressings are so unique where the owner is extremely tight lipped about, but I just learned tonight that they are Finally FINALLY going to sell them to the public. I almost Jumped out of my chair because that made me so happy!! Even though I now reside many many miles away it's comforting to know that I'll someday be able to purchase this certain childhood memory.

Hibachi!!!It was tasty and good performance!!We love fun performance!We enjoyed!We love Japanese food!!!!!

it's been the best value in Memphis serving up the best in Hibachi Grill For nearly 40 years with the best value in quality and service. With a dining experience you´ll remember years to come That will be having you come back for more. I've always loved dining at Restaurants that offer Hibachi Grill whether it would be Stix Beni hana or Shogun but they are quite on the expensive side. Nagasaki Inn likes to keep their prices moderate while maintaining top quality and family feel you won't get at any of their competitors. When I came here on a Friday night to celebrate a special occasion with my friend Tricia Ladner. We were greeted by the Hostess and friendly Staff (they've known her for years) as soon as we walked through the door. I was also happy to notice the cleanliness of the dining area and path way that led to the hostess podium. I was also impressed with the fact that the Hibachi side seating was already clean & ready for us to enjoy our dining experience. I start to look over their menu & take notice that they offer a wonderful variety of main courses and appetizers. Everything looked so great that it was hard to decide I was having a hard time determining weather I wanted the shrimp or steak so I just settled on steak and Tricia got her usual. Lo and behold we end up with Magic Mike (aka Harold) as our chef entertaining us for the evening with his magical skill on the grill. He was also comedic too handing out his glass Coke bottle filled with soy sauce asking if I wanted any Coke plus other various humorous jokes & jestures. While Magic Mike is woking his magic our server starts us off with a wonderful salad soaked in the most amazing ginger dressing you could ever have. Their Hibachi soup was really enjoyable not too salty served at the perfect temperatureand but I did feel it could have used more scallions and mushrooms. After Magic Mike's excellent performance we were served to some of the best japanese food that puts Shogun to shame. I thoroughly enjoyed my steak as it was juicy moderately tender & perfectly seasoned along with my rice that was moist and seasoned to perfection also. We got a good deal on our meal as we like many other regulars used the coupon from Friday's edition of Commercial Appeal which is found in the Memphis flyer. I would love to thank Magic Mike Tricia Ladner & the staff at Nagasaki Inn for this wonderful dining experience. I will be back for years to come & enjoy any other menu items along with great memories. I will definitely next time be getting an appetizer & a combination dinner fa sho. be sure to like Nagasaki in on FB and tell a friend Be sure to like Nagasaki in on FB and tell a friend. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nagasaki-Japanese-Steakhouse/111626565542312

I hate Japanese fried rice on the griddle, but this is particularly bad.

It used to be a thing to have the chef cook your food and present to the table. Now, I'd rather they just bring it out of the kitchen. The cook had no skills whatsoever other than just cooking the food. He didn't seem capable of handling too much food at once, so he would only cook one or two things at a time. There was no show. No personality. He seemed to treat it like he was working at Waffle House. We were left completely without service during the time he was cooking. My beer was empty. My sushi was long forgotten 30 minutes ago. We mentioned it to the cook, but he made no effort to raise attention to our cause. We had to go search the restaurant to find help on our own. When the sushi came, most of our cooked food was already on our plate. Towards the end of our meal, I asked for a Philly Roll. My request was denied. He said it would take them too long to make it and that they would need our table. I have never in my life been rejected the right to order a sushi roll. Also, these guys do not have the capability to take an order without your looking up the number associated with its name. Try it. Order a Philly Roll or whatever and they will make you look it up in the menu and give them the number. It's like they don't know their own food. The shrimp were disappointing. I would have liked some scallops, but there are none. The steak was good. The fried rice sucks. I've had better from the freezer at Walmart.

I went to with a group of people to celebrate a friends 40th. It was a nice looking place,we got seated immediately. There was about 8 of us. I had a Louisiana sushi l which was really good. Ginger salad which had to much dressing, sometimes less is more. I order lobster and steak. I was hoping for the chef to do tricks, I was disappointed. At least they kept my drink full.

The Arctic Roll Very fresh and super yummy!

Great vibes, not the best hibachi show. They wouldn't accept any coupons. Salad is very bland as it is just lettuce with dressing.
