Asian Bistro - KITTY HAWK

What a hidden gem of a restaurant! It’s easy to say that Sanya is the most beautiful (and friendly) Japanese and Chinese restaurant around. The two chicken dishes we ordered featured plump, high-quality meat, and the sauces were thick and sticky in a delicious way that clings to your teeth, leaving you wanting more. Plus, there are plenty of other options to choose from (check out the numerous reviews praising their sushi, for example). The best part? The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed a lovely conversation with our server, and although we had to wait a bit, we appreciated that they didn’t rush our dishes. Just take a look at the number of photos shared by their customers, and you’ll see that this place has brought joy to many. We were looking for a break from the endless fish and meat barbecues around OBX, and Sanya truly delivered!

This is definitely the best sushi restaurant in the Outer Banks. The sushi is of excellent quality, the service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is lovely. The restaurant is also very clean and has a spacious layout. I highly recommend trying the Christmas Roll and the Super Star Roll—they're amazing!

Absolutely fantastic! We visited for lunch and were pleased to find a variety of options, including sushi, hibachi, and Chinese cuisine. The service was attentive, striking a perfect balance without being overly intrusive. We ordered half a bottle of wine, and it was served to us in stunning decanters—a lovely detail! I highly recommend this place!

Great authentic experiences every time we eat there, very friendly staff and incredible service. Sushi is skilled and very good!

Food is great. Sushi is great. Prices on rhe sushi is good unless you are getting special rolls. Hibachi steak plates are 25 each and a little pricey but it is NY Strip so I guess it is worth it. Its good food.
