A rather mediocre establishment. I ordered the hibachi steak. The price was fair but the quality was a bit of a letdown. At a Japanese restaurant you would expect some sort of marinade or sauce to add character and flavor to the food; however the meat and vegetables tasted quite plain, as if nothing had been done to them aside from applying heat.
I first visited New Japan a few years back and it was pretty typical Japanese American food. However, the restaurant smelled like grease and it was very dirty.
I visited again recently. They've cleaned up the grease smell and the dining room was much cleaner. The food was slightly better than last time but now they water down their white sauce and it lacks a lot of the flavor.
We go here and do takeout about once a week and it’s always pretty good. We had a meal that wasn’t up to par, we took it back and they remade the whole order. Awesome customer service.
The foods great and well priced. Its a pretty big portion for the price. However, if you like ur meat really clean u might not like it because the chicken and steak sometimes has fat on the meat but they also have great sushi.
If you like the sit down Relaxed quality Japanese style food at a more fast food pace without the fancy server...this most definitely is the place to go. Always fresh and liberal healthy servings. The price is also super reasonable.
There is even a glass window you can stand in front of and watch the Masterchef prepare the food. Great family choice. Sometimes there is live music.
