28 Best Japanese Restaurants in Bakersfield

“easily the best ramen place in Bakersfield“

“Trust me, we have repeated our visit to this restaurant (sometimes just we 2 and other times with a large group of friends) many times people and the staff have always been friendly. We’ve never had one bad experience and will continue to be loyal patrons. They are always quick behind the sushi bar (hats off to the sushi chefs) and our food comes out fast so that’s a plus. Today the fish was fresh and served up with a nice garnish of a beautiful orchid and the fish is very fresh we were very pleased with all of it. We went during happy hour where specific rolls are half off! Take my word for it on this: Order yourself the spicy garlic edamame as a starter! You won’t be disappointed in fact it’s fantastic. When our sushi came we were offered ginger and authentic wasabi too. Wow what a nice surprise. I honestly have never had authentic wasabi to know what I was missing. Treat yourself as soon as you can. I’ll upload my impressions that I captured. We revisited this sushi house and were happy to enjoy fresh sushi. Steve had the spicy pork bento. I’ll add my photos from today“

“Awesome, the food is fresh and well presented, great service and value.“

“7/6/25 I so enjoyed my Beef bento delicious,sushi, salad so fresh our server was great Davy O I will for sure return, We were a party of 12 with 3 children they also loved it!“

“I drove past this restaurant while visiting my sister in the hospital. I’m not from the area but thought I’d get some take-out. It was fresh, hot, and good sized servings. I had Pad Thai and added crispy tofu, as well as the garlic green beans. Delicious!“

“Took my family and we all loved it! My apologies for not being as quiet as your other customers (we were a large group). I don't believe anyone made rude faces or made us feel uncomfortable. There were several teens at the table and my family was visiting from out of town. We were just really happy the food and service was great. Thank you so much! Your staff was so welcoming and we truly appreciate that.
*portions are a good size. 1 roll fills the average person up. Everyone who ordered ramen at our table needed a to-go container (prices are reasonable)“

“• “Love this place! The food is delicious, always fresh, and full of flavor. Great customer service and clean environment. Definitely coming back again and again!”“

“My new favorite restaurant!! If they sold mad sauce by the bottle, I'd buy it!!“

“This is one of my favorite places to go in town~ They always have the friendliest staff and their food never disappoints! Their new yaki noodles and tazuna rolls are really great. I loved their tazuna roll because I got to build what I like in it, since I always have the hardest time choosing between what roll I want. Their tea is so refreshing to drink! I got the mango black tea and it was definitely the perfect thing to have in today's hot weather. Great place to go for a casual lunch or dinner :) <3“

“Denny is the best sushi chef! I live in LA and every time I go to Bakersfield that's the place I go, unfortunately. I'll be there tomorrow and he's not going to be there. Oh well, till next time.
Hi guys it's Elva And my brother Peter.“

“Went to the mall for some last minute gift shopping for the wife and stopped at this place to eat: food was great. Had the beef teriyaki with veggies and steamed white rice. Food was prepared fresh right in front of you and portions were enough for 2 people. Everything tasted delicious and was steaming hot. Staff was friendly and fast. Only drawback was at the mall seating was limited but did eventually find a stop. Has been a while since I went to the mall. Was nice to sit and eat and relax and people watch. Definitely would go again“

“We came in for lunch. Eloy was our chef and he was good and quite entertaining.
I had the steak and chicken, comes with a salad, fried rice and fried vegetables. I could only eat half of my meal. I ended up taking the rest to go.“

“Our first time here and the experience was amazing! Rocelyn gave us great customer service, she was patient as we looked at the menu and was very helpful when asked what the combos were. The restaurant is super clean and organized with plenty of space to sit and eat. The quesa-birria tacos de chivo(goat) were excellent! The meat was tender and well cooked in both the pizza and tacos. Definitely recommend this place for filling and flavorful food.“

“food tasted great, server was super nice, decent pricing.“

“Kamisama Ramen is a must-visit for any ramen lover. The ramen is incredibly flavorful, with a rich broth that perfectly balances all the ingredients. Speaking of ingredients, they are always fresh, adding to the overall quality of each dish. The portions are generous, ensuring you leave satisfied, and the prices are very reasonable, offering great value for the quality and quantity you get. I’ll definitely be back to try other food options. Highly recommended!“

“I f I enjoy the chicken teriyaki tempura bento box everything I tasted was good it tasted delicious as well as the egg rolls that were crispy. Listen to great place to bring your kids and your family to relax have some good Japanese food and just sit back only Friday or Saturday night“

“I almost lost track of them Yoshinoya. The loaction near my hose closed. Then I got a free food for my birthday offer from them. That made me seek out another location. Glad I did. Fast and easy way to get a bowl. 🧐“

“Nice people and great food!!“

“Awesome Ramen! Great tasting broth“

“I live close to Umi so I go in a few times a week for the Umi Special. My family and I go in at least once a month and my kids LOVE sushi! When I take them, its definitely not a cheap dinner. we spend just under $200. I order the same thing every time for the special. This last time I went in the chef refused to make the change I always ask for. I'm just not a fan of spicy tuna so I ask to switch out the spicy tuna for spicy crab. this one particular chef just wouldn't do it. That's fine, but I feel like it should be equal across the board. It's not right as a loyal customer I have been ordering the same thing for SO LONG, and then one guy just didn't feel like doing it. A little disappointing but oh well. I came to Jin instead :)“

“es un gran lugar, dónde puedes disfrutar de una gran variedad de platillos y postres“

“Great experience overall! The food was delicious, and every dish was beautifully presented. You can tell they put care into both the flavor and the presentation. The wait staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.“

“We have been there twice and will return. I have a question??? My sister asked me if the tips were already Incorporated in the bill? I told her I didn’t know but I have always made sure they received a tip. Could anyone answer the question so I can pass it on to her. Thanks“
