36 Best Japanese Restaurants in Fresno

“O-iza is a treat from beginning to end, with a gorgeous ambiance, fabulous food with beautiful presentation, and caring service. All the details are thoughtful, from the rose water hand towels to the chopstick holders to the candles and light fixtures... You feel special just being in this beautiful space and being presented with such lovely plated dishes!
Our server, Alice, was fantastic! She guided us through the menu and made several suggestions, which were fabulous. We ended up ordering the waygu gyoza appetizer, which has such a nice texture and savory flavor. We also got the sea bass entree, which is served over a bed of risotto and oh man! This was so fantastic! Comfort food and cooked to perfection! We also got the salmon spoons from the sushi menu, also the servers recommendation, and these were a party in your mouth! Bright and fresh! Also, complimentary edemame is provided with your meal and it is the best! There's sugar and a little spice on it so its just so addinctingly yummy! Finally, we had to try the chocolate sesame desert, which had a great combination of flavors and textures!
Overall, we had the best experience and loved the service, food, and ambiance of O-IZA and can't wait to come back to try more!“

“The cook John was great. He was engaging and funny instead of going through the motions like some cooks do. Food was great too. Not a complaint just a suggestion, the waitress could have been a little more personable and enthusiastic. She wasn't bad but not great, very quiet and didn't say your welcome when thanking her. Other that good visit and will request John.“

Tempura shrimp are yummy as well?“

“Amazing food, heartfelt service, and a local gem worth every visit!
Ginza Gourmet Teriyaki House serves some of the best teriyaki we've ever had. The portions are generous, the flavors are spot on, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. The staff is incredibly friendly—you’re treated like family from the moment you walk in.

That said, for a $75 dine-in meal, being served on Styrofoam and paper plates with plastic utensils was underwhelming. The tables are a bit old and sticky, and the atmosphere doesn’t reflect how good the food is. It feels more like a takeout spot, which clashes with the pricing.

Still, the food and service make it hard to stay away. We love this place and truly hope it thrives. With a few upgrades to the dining experience, it could easily become a standout restaurant in the area. Highly recommended for the flavor and the people behind it!“

“Went here on a Saturday morning. Place was busy and parking not too hard to find.Nestled in a mostly-rundown area of DTF is this hole-in-the-wall establishment that serves American (and a few Mexican) plates, Chinese and Japanese plates and soup. A very unusual combination, but it works well here because the place was consistently busy while we ate.Someone comes by and quickly asks what you need and promptly brings you the food. I had their huevos con chorizo plate with pancakes on the side. You can immediately taste the oil from the griddle they've had for the last 15 years. The grease is so prominent and delicious AF! Looking at the cooks, they are very efficient because they have a tray with plates ready to be served.Overall, such a unique place. The prices are very low for the deliciousness you get. Cash only! All walks of life come here and I highly recommend you come as well!“

“Great shrimp tempura roll!“

“Love the spicy chicken. Half salad… half rice 😋“

“Great fresh food. Prepared in a timely manner.“

“Use metal Utensils! Plastic forks and knives! Even the chef was embarrassed! Better service, never saw our waitress Definitely not worth $150 or my business Metal Forks were given at Dessert (ice cream) 🤦🤦🤦🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ only positive side was the cook was 💯“

“Must-have if you’re in Fresno! Everyone here is super nice and have great service. Their rolls and appetizers are so so good. (Highly recommend the Nemo roll and spicy tuna appetizer)
Our last order wasn’t quite right and when we informed them they took care of it ASAP. Thank you Umi team for always providing great service and amazing food 🫶🏼“

“Great place for authentic Japanese cuisine! I got the Chicken Katsu Bento box and for $20 ish you get ALOT of food like way more than $20 normally gets you now a days. The ower is a great man running the restaurant mainly by himself and he deserves your patronage. I hope he gets a better location one day because I firmly believe the only reason he's not always busy with line stretching out the door is due to the area. I can't wait to go again and try the other sushi rolls and alcohol he has to offer“
