Birthday dessert
Terry D.

The teppanyaki chef outdid himself with a wonderful sense of humor and his dishes were delicious. We will come here again.

Jalapeño Hamachi

Fresh high quality sushi! I only tried the Sushi bar. Not a big fan of the fried calamari! Service was prompt and the bartender was very attentive.

The Lavender Bliss Martinis are to die for. Japanese Mules are my boyfriend's favorite. The sushi is always fresh and made in a timely matter. This is the only sushi restaurant that we go to. Always pleased with our visits. We've sat in the bar & sushi dinning room. Both have excellent service.

By far the worst hibachi I've ever had. I had chicken & shrimp and all I could taste was oil and soy sauce. My husband said the same thing about his steak. The fried rice was mush. I've never been to a hibachi place where I couldn't even choke down the food. I would definitely not recommend this place unless oil & soy sauce is your thing.

Has anyone ever had the chilean sea bass? I've always wanted to try but never have... thanks!

We have had the Chilean Sea Bass several times. It is light and flaky with a hint of sweetness similar to crab. It is one of our favorite dishes at Nakashima.

We've been here several times before but today was disappointing. We got two salmon maki (and a…read morefew other things) and there is so little salmon in it. And it was very inconsistent... going from little salmon to almost none existent (see picture). I brought it up to our sever and they said that's normal for them (!!!). That's definitely not worth $11 per roll. After that they avoided our table for the rest of the meal. So if you're looking for sushi, go somewhere else ... maybe akame.

I was introduced to this place 6 years ago. I was starting a new job and was here with a peer from…read moreCalifornia(I am from Florida). We were told this was the best sushi the person who reffered us had ever eaten. Challenge accepeted! We both agreed it was excellent sushi and I have been back every time I have been in Appleton since, except when they were closed due to Covid. This time I was there with a different co worker. We decided to order Tuna Tartare and 3 rolls. We had the popper roll, dragon roll and another that I cannot remember the name of. Each was different but equally good. We also had a salad, your typical japanese salad with ginger dressing. The dressing was better than most. The rolls are huge, I don't know how someone without a big mouth can eat a piece. 3 rolls and the tartare was more than enough for the 2 of us. I have to say that this is in fact the best sushi I have eaten throughout the U.S.

If you look back over my reviews, there are not a ton of 5-star reviews. On my first, but not last,…read morevisit to Author's there was virtually nothing to complain about! We went to one of their limited dinner services. I had called the day before and reserved a table. When we were quickly seated at a table by the entrance, I admit being suspect of how our visit would go. The hostess asked if the table was alright and pointed out a heater by the table. Not only did it keep us warm, it made our table feel cozy. Despite it being very busy, I'd describe the restaurant as being a great place for a special date. Our waiter for the evening brought great energy. His timing was great and his knowledge of the food served was helpful. Without hesitation he suggested the Napolitana (which was phenomenal). He also made the restaurant less pretentious than I had assumed it would be and it definitely wasn't pretentious). We ordered the empanadas and beet salad as appetizers. Great picks and I'd return just to get the empanadas! As previously stated, I had the Napolitana. My dining partner has the quinoa bowl but added chicken to it. No complaints for either. We finished with two desserts suggested by our waiter. Although truly full from our meal, we polished off the tasty treats. I'm going back, just disappointed I've haven't visited it before now.
