About Japan Express

Fast, Fresh, Healthy, Tasty Hibachi Style Japanese Food & Sushi

Located at 106 S Estes Dr, Chapel Hill, NC 27514, Japan Express operates as a restaurant serving Chapel Hill in North Carolina. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

Because this group is broad, judging a listing on freshness, turnover and how consistent recent reviews are tends to work better than judging by decor or price range alone. Most kitchens in Chapel Hill will adjust a dish for common dietary needs like gluten-free or vegetarian if you ask when ordering. Hours vary widely: diners and fast-food chains often stay open late or around the clock, while bakeries and cafes tend to open early and close mid-afternoon. Catering and food delivery businesses in North Carolina usually require advance notice, from a day for a small order up to a week or more for a large event, so it is worth contacting them early.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–9:30 pm. It is closed on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Japan Express at (919) 903-8050; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, facebook.com.

With 3.9 out of 5 on Google from 228 reviews, it sits in the middle of the range for restaurants in Chapel Hill. Recent reviews are the best guide.

Chapel Hill is in North Carolina, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Chapel Hill follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Hibachi chicken and fried rice were both very bland. Fried rice was just white rice with a little color on it. Vegetables were mushy. Crab Rangoon had a strong fishy aftertaste. Lady at the counter interrupted me to talk to her friend/coworker as I was trying to order. Nothing horrible but everything was a little disappointing.

This is my absolutely my granddaughters my and favorite restaurant since moving to Chapel Hill a year ago. We eat here 3 times a week minimum. The only two times there was an error with our order in the past year, they made up for it in spades with correction and quality customer service. Team Japan Express..always hot and fresh.

I had an appointment in Chapel Hill nearby and needed to get a quick lunch. This is a fast food place, so it fit in well with my plans. I ordered the Hibachi salmon dish. It came with rice and broccoli. The food was delicious. I also got soda to drink. It was around lunch time, but the place was empty (though, there were a few people who came into get there "to-go" orders), it felt a little bit strange. The service was OK, prices were a little bit high for a fast food restaurant.

This place was alright! I would probably go back to try another variation of hibachi- but what I got tonight was nothing special. The rice and veggies were pretty bland. They definitely need the white sauce on top. I got my food to-go which I think is what most people do as there was only one table sitting inside. The eat-in seating was pretty large. The employee taking orders was pretty friendly- that was the only one I interacted with. As far as price the prices are not accurate on their website/Facebook. They are about $3 more than the picture of the menu. My hibachi cost ~$14. Pros: My food was ready basically the the time I was done paying. The give you a large portion of protein which is really nice. This is especially rare for shrimps! Overall this place was OK. I would probably give it another try, but definitely will not be top of mind in the future.

Salmon Hibachi is a Jock $18.26. A few pieces of salmon, less rice and lest vegetables, when you get the chicken hibachi is more food and less money but some people don’t eat meat.
