Kyjo's Japanese Sushi Restaurant — Restaurant in Troutman

I ordered green curry from this place and all I can say is it was AWFUL! I have made better curry than this. I didn't taste much curry flavor at all. It tasted like they used chicken broth for a base instead of coconut milk. The vegetables were OBVIOUSLY from a frozen bag, and I'm pretty sure the "thai" basil want thai at all. No kaffir leaves, no lemongrass taste (a few things you would expect from a traditional thai curry.) It was extremely overpriced for the dinner portion I paid for. Normally $10 will get you literally twice the amount of curry at a place that knows what they're doing. My buddy ordered the hibachi chicken and said he was scared to eat it because it looked and smelled funny. I would agree with his statement. If you are the owner and you are reading this...YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD ON YOUR RECIPES BEFORE YOU GO OUT OF BUSINESS. I'm sure he is banking on being the only thai/sushi place in a small town, but once people know what this food is supposed to taste like your business won't last. I'm sure I sound like a food snob but I'm just pissed that I wasted money on such...

When I'm in Troutman I come by this restaurant a lot. The cuisine is great and I personally believe the place to be underated. It's obviously family-owned and ran very well. The establishment is clean and you have a clear view of the chef preparing your food.

to be honest these folks do such a great job catering to the customer that I think they haven't much time for marketing so hopefully this review helps.

The staff is obviously the family and they are wonderful to talk to. The food itself is exquisite. and although I prefer the shrimp and salmon hibachi I do get their crab rangoon as well. All of the hibachi dishes are great but I like shrimp and salmon the best. The Tea is good and although I wish they had a larger selection of drinks for everyone else to choose from my go to choice is always sweet tea. I never order anything else 🤷.

typically when I call in and place an order the food is cooked and prepared within 15 minutes. The place is right off of main Street and the parking is plentiful so there's no issues getting to the place or retrieving your food once you...

I rate my sushi restaurants in way where they're categorized. High end sushi, something you'd get in Japan, or made by authentic top notch sushi chefs. Very good sushi, something you'd get at an Asian themed restaurant where a roll will cost you $20 and the taste reflects that. Great sushi, which can be everything in between a high end restaurant and a buffet. Then lastly okay sushi, which is sushi you'd get at an American buffet or all you can eat place usually. Mostly consisting of California rolls.

This is a place that I put at the very good mark.

In blunt terms, it's an excellent place to get sushi. While it's not something you'd get in Japan, or at a top notch high-scale restaurant. It's pretty dang close, the sushi is very yummy and the price is perfect. I'd highly recommend coming here when you want a good priced yummy sushi that isn't super fancy or sit downy. Where you plan on spending $100 per person, for like $20-25 you're set and you'll be happy you came here.

Usually my go to spot unless I'm...
