16 Best Japanese Restaurants near Cotati

“This is my new favorite place to enjoy sushi. Everything is amazing. I love sitting on the back porch, drinking a beer and enjoying the vibe. I feel like I have been transported to an exciting vacation destination. The service is 5 stars and so is the food.“

“This is the cutest spot ! I’ve walked by this place for years and never went in. The ambiance inside is really cool, it feels like you’re stepping into a place in Japan. I love the setup they have , grab a tray , order , they give you pickled vegetables and miso soup. Find a table and within minutes your food is out! I can’t say better things about the food it is absolutely delicious ! I went for the first time 2 weeks ago and went back the next week. I order the chicken yaki udon ( fried udon noodles ), my husband orders the house special yaki udon which comes with beef , chicken and shrimp. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great Japanese food.“

“very good service..food is bomb! so Delicious 😋“

“The food was very good and the fish for the sushi very fresh. I was surprised by the quality as we just stumbled upon this place in a shopping center. It’s a little hard to find depending on how you drive in the GPS made us go round in circles. Find the big store next to it and you’ll get there easily. It doesn’t have the atmosphere of a fancy Japanese restaurant, but the prices were very reasonable and the food as good as I’ve had anywhere in an expensive Japanese restaurant. thank you.“

“Been a 10 year follower of owner Billy and his sushi creations! He set the bar high so when I moved to St. Petersburg, FL I have yet to meet his equal! His place is a must stop whenever I come back to Sonoma County.“

“As bad as it sounds I didn’t want to write this review…. Part of me wanted to be selfish and keep this place under wraps! But real foodie girls aren’t gatekeeping in 2023 so here goes nothin…. This place is a hidden gem! Nestled in a shopping center between Motel 6, Dollar Tree and Jack in the Box who would have thought this unassuming Sushi joint would be serving the BEST sushi you or I will ever eat. The Pink Lady Roll is my absolute favorite. It has crab salad wrapped in salmon and topped with scallop and lemon. Melt in your mouth! Couldn’t get enough of this stuff. I always get the Geisha Roll as well. No rice roll with tuna, avocado, yellow tail,crab salad, wrapped in thinly sliced cucumber. DI-VINE! Their Takoyaki is always a hit, ALWAYS. The Ultimate Hamachi roll is an easy win for anyone that loves yellowtail. We always get their Miso Salmon special if it’s not sold out and it does not disappoint. The Hamachi wings were my son’s favorite this past visit. They are usually sold out but this time we managed to snag the last plate of them! I can’t say enough good things about the food and the service here! The place is super small so they are always packed. Sushiko rivals some of the fancier more well known spots I’ve visited in Northern California *cough* Kru *cough*. I drive 60 miles to eat here and don’t plan on stopping any time soon. The only thing that would make this place better is a larger location so we never run the risk of not getting a table :P.“

“I went to Fresh Fuji today for the first time, the flavor is delicious, I recommend it 100%“

“great“

“High quality sushi, super clean environment, high ceilings modern decor. Only problem- they all still wear masks. Foolishness! (RN here and I know the truth). Highly recommended sushi fare.“

“This is really a good restaurant and it’s located on Farmer’s in Santa Rosa, CA. I had originally gone to another restaurant but they were so “full” and I just wanted to get a meal to go and be out of there. I ordered the Shrimp & Chicken Udon Noodles box which consisted of the Udon Noodles, kale, bean sprouts, steamed rice, side salad with cucumbers and tomatoes with a Japanese dressing. A soup with tofu & green onions in a bone beef broth. Also, I order the Jumbo Tempura Shrimp and it came with a teriyaki sauce. A very good meal with large portions. Friendly staff & a clean environment which is very important to me.“

“We have been going to Osake for years! Truely our fave!

Food is always amazing and Gary is a fun owner that truely live connecting with his patrons!

If you haven't been, check it out! Ask him about the universe!“

“Wow, was in town and stopped in for take out. Great choice. Tasty food and large portions. Good kimchi, house salad dressing was flavorful and light, and the spicy BBQ chicken was tender. Could have been a bit more spicy though. So if you want some heat ask for it.“

“Lovely restaurant, great service and Annie is a gracious hostess. They need a larger staff…food was great it could have been a little warmer. Will return.“

“Family owned business. With the best sushi chef around. Very friendly and outgoing. Very fresh and delicious sushi and Japanese cuisine“

“My husband and I have been coming here for years and the food is always fresh and delicious. They just added some new sushi rolls to the menu and they are fantastic. I highly recommend the Golden Gate Roll and the Alaskan Roll. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality.

Give them a try!“

“This place is pure MAGIC! The owners are an absolute delight. Food to brag about. This is the happiest I’ve been eating out in years. What a hidden gem. I’m well traveled, dined at some of the best restaurants and the deliciousness that is coming out of this kitchen is absolutely on par with the best.“
