Chopsticks Japanese - Lillington

The cashier at the front is absolutely wonderful. Food is great.

I usually love this place! Lately, though, I have been less than satisfied with my food. It's like they changed the recipe to the Teriyaki sauce or something! My husband always says his hibachi style tastes the same. They have better veggies than most every hibachi place of their kind, for sure.

I love Japanese food and have eaten at Japanese restaurants in many states, including those with the hibachi shows. Chopsticks Japanese restaurant entrees are more delicious, have more generous portions, and are more affordable than most.I get two or three meals from the hibachi chicken entree that I typically order. The owners are involved in all aspects of the business, from cooking, to serving, to hosting. They handle special orders perfectly, always serve with a smile, and always let you know that they appreciate your business.They are a true 5-star restaurant. Highly recommended.Kid-friendliness: I typically have one or more of my grandchildren with me when we eat at Chopsticks. The kids love the friendly wait staff and the cooking staff is always willing to modify dishes to suit the picky eaters in my family.

I ordered from this restaurant through DoorDash and it was extremely disappointing and disgusting. There were hairs in my bang bang shrimp and even in the bag itself! The lack of attention to food presentation was evident and it was unhygienic. Despite ordering hibachi, there was a lack of seasoning and it seemed like they just cooked it on the grill with oil. Additionally, we ordered chicken and steak hibachi but only received chicken, not a single piece of steak. I will not be giving them my business again!

I have been coming to this great locally owned restaurant for over 2 years. With so many new people moving to the area I figured this would be a good time to leave a review.I do a mix of dine in and takeout every. I get food from here almost every week.Like the many reviews before mine have stated:The food is really good and always tastes fresh. I've tried a little bit of everything and have not been disappointed with a single dish I've tried. My favorites are: Spring Rolls and potstickers. Hibachi dishes (tofu, chicken, and steak). Orange Chicken Tofu.Lunch special prices are really good! The dinner prices are very reasonable as well! Try finding a Japanese restaurant in Apex, Holly Springs, Cary, or Morrisville where you can get a Hibachi Teriyaki entree between 11-14 dollars that includes a salad or soup!I've had no issues with service! The waitresses have been very friendly each time I've been there. The lovely girl who works up front and takes the phone orders and greets customers is really nice and remembers who all the regulars are and what we order!Something I like with them is that when placing phone orders they are always clear on the phone and repeat my order back to make sure it was taken down right. Then I'm told the final price. Many places don't do the above these days (which I've seen create problems at different places).If you're new to the area and love Japanese food, definitely give this place a go! I know most people will add Chopsticks to their rotation!
