8 Best Japanese Restaurants in Jonesboro

“The food was decent. I had the seaweed salad, tempura veggies, soup, and combination upon noodles. The seaweed salad and tempura veggies were great. The rest of my meal was ok. To be honest I've had better Japanese food. The service was great. Give it a try and let me know what you think.“

“I had to get on here to give credit where credit is due. I went last night feb 28, 2025. The server was EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING, GENEROUS, etc. all of the words you can think of. That was her. I’m a young mother and so is she and she and her son deserve the world for how she treated my boyfriend and I.
As for the place. Drinks? They were good. And Strong. And Pricey.
Sushi? Fire. I ordered a fried and my boyfriend ordered raw and a cali roll. Suuuper good. Decent priced for the sizes.
Lastly, the hibachi. They got our order sent to a wrong table so we had to wait longer but our waitress compensated us with free wontons. But the HIBACHI?? If I could’ve sent it back I would’ve. I didn’t order my steak rare. It came out mooing even though it was cut into pieces. My boyfriend’s chicken was tough (over done) and we are rice fanatics. Trash. $16 for a steak hibachi isn’t a bad price. But when the smallest portion of raw steak, a few veggies, and a half of a cup of “fried rice” (really just white rice) come to your table, I was shocked. DONTTTT eat the hibachi. But def could go here for a quick sushi date. The place was really cute! They had some Japanese culture decorations up. It was nice and clean. They also had teas and smoothies and slushies! I’d def go back to try a drink and get some good customer service or even a roll. But we prob won’t be going back for the hibachi.“

“We absolutely love this place! The sushi is so super delicious and the Friday evening servers are amazing! We come here every week for our date night!“

“Had a good meal. We Were there for my brother's girlfriend's birthday. The cook was pretty funny and interacted with everyone. He did a good job with everyone's meal.So apparently the new thing is adding the tip to the ticket now. They added the tip and totaled it. So because of this, this is what he only got. I was going to tip more cause he did an awesome job but I don't like being told or forced to tip. So due to his employer he missed out. I always tip good and usually more if the service was good.“

“Great Japanese restaurant. Quick but delicious food and great customer service!“

“LOVEEEEEE THIS PLACE !!! I had to have it right before I was about to have my baby in an hour. Soooo worth every bite ❤️ our favorite restaurant in town ❤️“

“Best Asian Buffett in NEA. The sushi bar really steals the show!“

“It was a wonderful experience. We went for Mother's Day. It was the first time we had been. We sat at the grill, and there were 9 of us. We were pleasantly greeted by the hostess. They were very nice and took our drink and appetizer order. We were very entertained by our cook and he was a lot of fun and kept us laughing. It was amazing watching his skills with his knives and other utensils. He also had fun with the fire part of his skills. The food was delicious. We are definitely going back again. Anyone looks for a good atmosphere, entertainment, delicious food, drinks, and reasonable prices, then you have to give Sumo Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar a try. You will want to go back again.
