41 Best Japanese Restaurants near Benicia

“Fantastic! Can’t wait to go back!“

“This is one of the places that I've been supporting through COVID. The quality of food is always great, despite the supply chain issues. The bento box is the best deal, but I find the nuances, are more important - like the toasted rice in the green tea or the ogo seaweed.I recommend the spicy cucumbers, the tsukemono and the tataki nigiri.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp as opposed to stairs.“

“Benicia has so many restaurant choices. This one is a must try! A small family owned Japanese restaurant for dine in and take out. You can sit at the small Sushi counter or at a table in the small dining room. The people are nice and friendly and they have a good selection of Sushi Rolls and other dishes. We made a reservation just in case. Free parking is on the street. Casual dining for family, business and date nights.

Vegetarian options: vegetarian dishes are available.

Kid-friendliness: They have kid friendly meals

Wheelchair accessibility: no stairs“

“I lost count of how many times I’ve come here - they never miss. The menu is familiar but enough unique items to stand out amongst all of the other AYCE sushi OR hotpot restaurants around.. oh and did I mention they offer both.. get this - for the same price ? come visit, you won’t regret it!“

“Great food, good price, and excellent service. Especially by the hostess Keyli, who made us feel welcome and offered up a great tasting, Salmon Carpaccio. We will be back for more and hope Keyli can be our server someday.

Vegetarian options: .“

“Great service! We had a large group and felt the portions were totally worth it. My kids loved it so much that we ended up ordering takeout.
Most orders: garlic rice and edamame plus the combo plate! Sauces are good too!

Kid-friendliness: Totally kid friendly and clean! Great option“

“Hidden gem! Moved to the area a few years ago and by far, this is the best and freshest sushi we’ve had! We keep coming back. The staff are always attentive and friendly and the fish is always fresh! If you like edamame, their garlic edamame is a MUST!“

“The freshest sushi I’ve ever had in this area. Hands down. Will definitely be back!“

“The food was delicious! Everything we ordered was so good from presentation to taste. Service was great even though it was very busy. I'll be back for sure.“

“Lunch at yet another eatery that was a stranger to me, I found this lovely gem occupying the old Taco Bell restaurant in Vallejo. Again, my wife and I entered, and the nostalgia flooded my brain, but was swept away by their menu and the smells of the food. I ordered the Teriyaki chicken plate, and my wife ordered the Teriyaki chicken Katsu plate, then an additional Dragon Roll and a vegetable tempura plate of sweet potato and broccoli. Got home and fell in love with the flavors and portions. Crunchy chicken tempura, flavorful chicken, sweet sauces, and the Dragon roll was to die for. Plenty for the next day, and a fresh take on establishments inside paddy establishments. I will definitely return here for more meals, and continue to post about them.“

“Food was good, flavors were excellent. The Shrimp Head could use more cooking time to ensure crispiness rather than having some chewiness on the Ama-Ebi. Maguro & Tobiko Nigiri were fresh. The Sukiyaki was filling! My friend ate all her Bento box contents. Service was good, but not all shoju was available on the menu. There were so many missing items that they should revise it or consider a paper menu that's easier to update. Inside was great, but the outside parking had a homeless drunk on the sidewalk by the parking area ...“

“The food is great!!! Crew is awesome!!! Dine by the sea!!! Highly recommended!!!“

“At 1st I wasn't feeling it, then my Son said to me, mom what's the worst that could happen? I don't like it, I send it back and you my son don't have to pay for it. HA!!!HA!!!!!“

“Ordered sushi and a variety of other side dishes, was greeted by a woman when I arrived and their customer service was great from beginning to the end, food was okay, tasted fresh

Parking: There's always parking here since it's in a plaza

Kid-friendliness: They love kids, had my 3 month old with me and they loved her“

“Love the buffet around the sushi bar! Best place to sit!“

“Ramen, gyoza, high quality sushi are always in order. This place would make you want to come back again whenever you can. Staff is super friendly, polite, respectful and provides the most outstanding customer service I’ve encountered accross many restaurants. Definitely you’d love this place.“

“best sushi and cheap!!! will come again!!!“

“Found this restaurant looking for sushi while traveling again for work, this time I find myself in Martinez. Haven't had sushi/sake in a while so here I am. The food was great, portions as you'd expect for rolls. Took the recommendation for the sake, and was a good choice. Also witnessed a phoned in order that called back and explained they'd called the wrong restaurant and canceled their order for food already prepared. So, I made a deal on the salmon roll that was part of the restaurant dealing with not-so-smart-people. The total bill was reasonable, considering the small bottle of sake. I would definitely return to this establishment again. Why a less than 5 star atmosphere, it feels more like a fast food joint but, the foods great.“

“We love this place! The best of Thai and the best of Japanese! I have the salmon skin ham roll today and a Poké bowl. Both yummy. Services is friendly. Food is great.“

“We came here a week ago and now we are coming a lot to here.
We ordered 4 different kind of rolls and let me tell you, it’s really good!
The place is big, nice, and clean but the customer service is a little off. Workers barely understand English and took a lot of time to make the sushi.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re craving sushi.“

“There was an important item left out of my order last night. But when I went back today, the Asst Manager Brandon went over the top. He really hooked me up. Their food is good, but their service and attitude is the best!“

“This is my boyfriend and my go to place for sushi in the area !!! When ever he's leaving it up to me on where to go to eat he already knows we are going to be headed here!! It's very cozy and the staff are super nice and personable! It's got amazing prices for quite a lot of food I tend to always have a few pieces of my rolls to go!! It's very fresh and very very tasty!!!“

“it's always pretty good here. The prices are fair and I'm always up for a repeat“

“Anytime we are in Pleasanthill area we try to eat at Jo’s Honda Sushi. We used to live in Pleasanthill and we would go there at least once a week. We love Honda and all his family ❤️“

“Just moved into a new area and craving sushi so I found Hanabi Sushi on DoorDash. They had good ratings on DoorDash and Google Maps and most all, it was only a 10 min drive from me. Saw that they had 2 sushi rolls for about $20 which is good deal to begin with. And I also found the sashimi special had most of the fish that I like and the price was reasonable. I wasn’t sure if it came with just 1 pc of each that they listed (salmon, yellowtail, tuna, albacore and red snapper) or 2. That’s common for small portions for $30. To my surprise, they gave me 4 big pieces of each. I didn’t even eat the salad or soup because I was so full from eating the sashimi and sushi rolls. I ordered the food to go but right when I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by the sushi chefs and they thanked me for my order on my way out. Very friendly staff. Food was very good. I think I found my new sushi spot to go to.

Parking: I got there before they were closing so there was a lot of parking

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s in a shopping center so there’s plenty of parking in front and a handicap parking space in front of the restaurant also.“

“We love this place! The best of Thai and the best of Japanese! I have the salmon skin ham roll today and a Poké bowl. Both yummy. Services is friendly. Food is great.“

“The service was quick&staff were attentive, and friendly. The food was good. My usual(cherry blossom) was well put together. Because I seen a recommendation in the reviews for the Godzilla roll(deep fried yellowtail roll with a little spice to it)&the salmon belly, I tried them both and they delivered. The prices are decent.
Altogether a great first time experience.
I would return, and I would recommend.
Give House of Sake a try.“

“Absolutely,I recommend your restaurant, good good and friendly staff.“

“The sushi was really good“

“We have been going to this restaurant for the last 13 years, at least 2 or 3 times per month. This place has good people who own it, hard working and noble employees, everyone is kind and their food is really good. I love that their food tastes delicious, fresh, safe and that is is highly comparable and often times better than that of much more expensive places. This is a great place to become a regular at, to go with family or to do take out.

Our favorite dishes here:
Rolls: tekka Maki, hamachi maki, Fuji mountain, Toyota special.

Salad: sunomono

Best miso soup in town

Delicious and a great value: white tuna tataki.

Try their delicious hot tea... Whoever makes it here has the best ratio of water to tea I have ever seen!

We love Toyo!“

“Ate here weekday lunch. Bento box and sushi combo between the two of us. Miso soup was the best I’ve had in recent memory. Bento had a ton of choices and was too much food! Everything was delicious and fairly priced. Will definitely be back.“

“Keep in mind a lot of the reviews here are for the OLD chinese restaurant that was here. There's been 3 at this spot since ive been a local here. Originally the first restaurant was ran by a nice old lady and the food was quite good.

I did not care for the 2nd group that came in to this spot, they were just not good.

I can safely say though that this new rebranded spot New peking is really quite good, they remodeled and cleaned everything and the food is served in good portions and is really solid. They may have a few kinks to work out, but the few times I've gone they've gotten better each time.

The hunan chicken lunch special got me to review, really happy to have a good chinese spot in the near area. They deserve your business“

“This is such an awesome little gem of a sushi restaurant. They have an amazing 10-piece sashimi deal for $19 And their ginger is quite possibly the best I've ever had. Next on my list to try at their restaurant is their salmon kama and hamachi kama.“

“We are avid sushi eaters an we like to pick a new place everytime.

Staff were splendid and kind.

The food was delicious and price wise we actually got more then the last place we ate that was more expensive an less food.

We know sushi doesn’t always feel you up so we ordered a few things an shared with everyone at the the table. The spicy tuna was actually spicy. Whoot!

No kids menu- no problem- ? chicken teriyaki, rice, udon, tempera, seaweed salad!

The one Star removed is for the temperature an bathrooms. It was rather warm inside an the bathroom area smells which in an warmer environment penetrates the air. The roof is massively high. They need to spend some money an put in a fake ceiling an better air.

Overall good place. Will be back if on this side of town. We are everything!“

“Your friendly neighborhood sushi place. Japanese food with a solid American appeal.
I’m a frequent customer, maybe too frequent sometimes; as I’ve established myself as a loyal customer of Ina and her mom there. Just very cool people who provide great service and a positive vibe every time.

I always go for the “half and half plate”, ordering both sesame chicken (panko breaded with teriyaki sauce glaze) and the spicy chicken (breaded with spicy flakes). ITS SOOOOOOO DELICIOUS.

Matter of fact, I’m going back in Wednesday when they open again (closed on Tuesdays).

Parking: Sometimes limited parking can be challenging to find. However, there is a public lot down the block and across the street.“

“Food is amazing! Fresh Sushi! Creative Menu. I will be back.“

“Recent visit, August 31st. Came in since we were in the area. Wife and I had decided to grab lunch since we were nearby. Found a piece of 12 inches or more of a piece of hair in my sushi after taking a bite of a piece of the roll. Pulled it out between my teeth like floss. Brought it back to the counter and showed them. At least they made it right by not charging me for the for lunch. I will at least give them credit for that ! I will have to think twice about going back.“

“Absolutely Loved This Place ❤️“

“This is friendly family sushi restaurant. Sushi is fresh and tasty. Staffs are kind. I like dinner combination with chicken or salmon teriyaki and tempura.

Vegetarian options: Veggie tempura. Futomaki. Veggie roll. Vegetarian boat. Veggie udon. Veggie donburi.“

“We came in right around when I imagine the Sunday lunch rush had ended because for the moment we were the only two in the entire establishment. Things that stand out, the atmosphere is great. Being next to a busy intersection you'd expect a lot more road noise but it was relatively quiet inside. Great, and quick service.I can certainly see myself becoming a regular here because their chicken teriyaki is delicious. While the food was great my only gripe is parking. Good luck, and if you can park nearby it's worth the walk.

Parking: The lot behind the restaurant is private and belongs to the surrounding apartments. Street parking is very hit or miss. Parking across the street at the BevMo! and crossing seems to be the best strat for this location if your driving.“

“wonderful food, great atmosphere. reasonable priced.“
