8 Best Japanese Restaurants near Fultondale

“My husband and I came here for lunch on a Saturday. We set at the hibachi table, and although we were the only ones at the table the chef treated us as though we were the main characters. He was amazing in entertainment and cooking ability! The food was the best we have ever had at a hibachi. The chicken, in particular, was cooked better than most restaurants can do. It wasn't our first time to this location, but we will make sure to go more often after today!“

“I pulled a non-Karen today and asked for the manager. I explained to her how amazed I was at their food and how utterly fantastic it is. I ordered an unagi poke bowl and a salmon Maki roll via GrubHub, then I went there in person and ordered the unagidon and salmon roll, and today I ordered the steak teppanyaki, salad, seaweed salad (OMG - seriously? BEST I'VE EVER HAD), and got the tonkotsu ramen with menma. She remembered me from my order today and when I was there last week. Let's talk about the salmon roll - absolutely fresh and filled with thick pieces of salmon and perfectly cooked sushi rice. The rice was a compliment rather than the main to the roll. The steak? Chef's kiss. perfectly seasoned and tender with amazing veggies. Serving size? Goodness, well deserved of the price. The seaweed salad? OMG. usually, I'll get a teensy bit for the same price. Here, you get a good chunk of it but it's served over romaine lettuce with chopped cucumbers. It's definitely a true salad. Now, let's talk about the tonkotsu. The chasu pork is seared perfectly and absolutely delectable. It's also served with green onions, an excellent half of a shoyu egg, and I added menma (bamboo shoots). The broth is excellent and you can tell it has been carefully taken care of (a tad garlicky, but that's fine with me), silky, and says "I'm your comfort food" over and over again. Lastly, the service shows how much they care about their food and their customers. Like I said, I pulled a Non-Karen and spoke to the manager and sang praises for their food and service. I now have my favorite Japanese spot now that I'm back in Birmingham. PS. their unagidon is on fire! Yum!“

“Super clean establishment! Fast friendly service and love the specials! 😍 Always something new here to catch my eye.“

“This place looked kinda ehhh from the outside, so we hesitated eating there, but it was well worth it when we got in there! The wontons were great, the sushi was awesome, my daughter got sweet and sour chicken, and it was soo good. The hibachi steak was not bad at all it was just kinda bland compared to everything else we got.

We had already eaten most of the wontons before we thought about a picture.“
