“ Staff was great and attentive. Sashimi was fresh and rolls were worth it for their size. We had the sushi boat for 2, gyoza, thai wings, Neko roll, and dragon roll. Highly recommend the neko roll and any of the boats if you want to try different sushi and sashimi. ”
“ Friendly service, cute place, great food! We (party of 5) were able to get a table quickly at 6pm on a Sunday. The sushi was fresh and delicious, the crab fried rice (made with lots of real crab) was really good, and my son was very happy with the free kid's bento box (Sundays only). Our first time there, and we'll definitely be back! ”
“ We’ve eaten here quite a few times and the sushi is always excellent. We usually get it to go but dined in this time. Whenever we order it to go it’s ready in 20-30 minutes. Our dine in service was excellent and our server had a great personality as well as being professional. We ordered the rainbow roll, volcano roll and Neko roll. All were delicious! Sake was great too. ”
“ Wow. Neko's has really stepped up. I decided to try them for a sushi lunch, and it was top-notch. The blue fin tuna and wagyu A5 were particularly good. Large proper portions on the sushi, too... It's easily the best sushi in the surrounding area. Well worth the money. Also, they have a Thai Doughnut desert that will blow your mind... And I don't do desert. ”
“ This is my family’s favorite restaurant in Pinehurst!! It’s very high quality and we find the pricing reasonable for the area. We have gotten lots of things off the menu — I would most recommend their special Neko poke bowl, the pad thai, wakame salad, and the donuts dessert (they are very indulgent and great for a special celebration). Also they have a really good weekday lunch special. ”
“ Tonight we elected to get our orders to go, and again, Neko knocked it out of the park! Got the order home and order was perfect. They consolidated some duplicate items, but that was fine with us, less boxes/packaging to carry. Quality/taste was no different than if we had dined in. Always a great experience at Neko! ”
“ I love love love Neko. It is my favorite sushi place, ever. I do wish their restaurant was a bit bigger and maybe they had just a bit more staff to decrease wait times but still amazing and doesn’t deter me from going. Great food every time ”
“ So delicious. Ordered fried calamari, seared tuna, shrimp panag curry. Also got my favourite Thai iced tea. We also got their donuts. Everything was yummy! Their service was great too. They were very attentive. We got there close to closing time (around 8pm) and did not feel rushed at all. ”
