Called ahead for lunch take out. First we tried going to the website but it went to a japanese travel lol. Great over the phone service after we googled their phone number. Went in at 1pm and was not much of a line. Got 2 chicken teriyaki with extra sauce and yum yum. We also got an order of their dumplings which we should have eaten in the car on the way home. The sauce for the dumplings was amazing! They also didn't charge for extra teriyaki or yum yum. The rice was a lil underwhelming and didn't get many veggies. Jake n kev

Japan Express seems to be a local teriyaki chain, and we came here for an early dinner.Their menu is pretty extensive, offering salads, maki fusion rolls, bento boxes, teriyaki combos, and sides.We ordered:+a Chicken & Shrimp Teriyaki - instead of the white or the fried rice, we opted for the noodles at an upcharge; this also came with a side of steamed veggies; I did request for the chicken to be extra well done, but it was just cooked through; the shrimp, while of a good size, were not deveined - they were cooked perfectly, though+a Chicken & Beef Teriyaki - instead of the white or the fried rice, we opted for the noodles at an upcharge; this also came with a side of steamed veggies; the beef was tender, but I wasn't a fan of the tasteThe teriyaki sauce used was not too sweet; the noodles were cooked perfectly and was a great choice instead of the rice options. I did wish that the steamed veggies were kept warm, as they were served cold.Don't forget to ask for Yum Yum sauce; this was a great complement to the dish. They do have packets of a generic hot sauce, which actually went well with the teriyaki.The portions are extremely generous, in which an order can easily feed 2 people.I honestly was a little apprehensive of this place, but I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was!Staff here are very welcoming and friendly. There are plenty of seats to dine in, but I did see many locals call ahead or order to-go.Plenty of parking in the lot; located next to Chick-fil-A.+generous portions!+friendly staff+plenty of parking+located next to Chick-fil-A

This spot is in a shopping center next to a few other popular food places. My daughter loves Asian food and when we come up from Virginia we tend to stop here for take out. The portion sizes are great, prices are reasonable and food quality/taste and appearance have always been good. Staff is ok, not overly friendly but not rude. They are usually pretty busy so short on their time to interact with customers. Place has a few tables to sit at, parking lot shared so limited on spots sometimes. If you like this type of food, definitely worth a stop if in the area craving a quick meal.

First time here. I had the Chicken Terryaki. Lacked flavor. Not much sauce. Taste like I was eating straight chicken and rice.

Placed an order after a facebook recommendation, we ordered 2 teriyaki chicken with fried rice, crab roll, shrimp tempura roll and chicken teriyaki roll.The rice dish was ok, and the rolls were ok, mayo sauce took over the flavor and honestly it just didn't really taste like there was any Japanese authenticity to it.I've lived in Okinawa Japan for four years - and even had better tasting rolls in Raleigh ... so, not really impressed and wouldn't consider returning.

The chicken hibachi combo was delicious! I ordered two of those and some California rolls. The California rolls tasted a little weird and could have been fresher. The rice on the rolls were extremely mushy in a bad way. Other than that the workers were very nice and generous with the extra sauces we asked for. Would come again.

I love sushi so this was disappointing- it didn't taste fresh. The lady at the counter wasn't friendly.The children liked it hence two stars instead of 1.
