41 Best Japanese Restaurants near Dublin

“Food was great and the staff was super friendly (especially Xing)! We got the chirashi, a hellboy roll, dragon roll, spicy tuna hand roll, and the otoro nigiri. The fish was fresh and the rolls were delicious. Also love when the shrimp tempura in a roll is crispy and this one nailed it. Will definitely return!“

“Best sushi I’ve had in the east bay!!! The fish is extremely fresh & sashimi pieces are generous. Happy hour prices can’t be beat! My favorite sushi restaurant by far!“

“love it here! good food. staff is nice“

“Great selection on food + sauces, and service is decent, though they looked like quite busy so expect some delays. The individual pot is a great idea especially if hygiene is a concern. The meat on the picture may look quite different from the actual meat, but taste is the same. Fried food is ok and I prefer save the space for hotpot. The sesame ball is a must have as finisher.“

“Got some takeout, and they were so generous with the portions! Everything tasted amazing. The Tonkatsu was a massive hit with the kids, and the Jjolmyeon was the perfect hidden gem of the meal. We kept saying, 'If the takeout is this phenomenal, imagine how crazy good it would be at the actual restaurant.' Our minds are officially blown“

“I recently visited Hana Japan with my family, and we had a blast! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was so welcoming. Our chef was super entertaining, showcasing impressive skills while cooking everything to perfection. I loved how interactive the whole experience felt, and the flavors were incredibly vibrant! This is more than just a meal; it's what a Japanese steak house should be. Definitely coming back!“

“A Hidden Gem That Keeps on Giving
Torarenbou Sushi Bistro has absolutely earned a permanent spot on my regular rotation, and I can’t recommend it enough.
Let’s start with the Beef Udon — it was superb. Rich, deeply savory broth, tender beef, and perfectly cooked noodles. The kind of bowl that makes you close your eyes on the first slurp. A must-order even if you’re there for sushi.
Speaking of sushi — the quality here is genuinely impressive. Fresh, clean fish and thoughtfully assembled rolls. My personal favorites are the Salmon Avocado Roll (classic done right — buttery salmon, creamy avocado, perfect ratio every time) and The Gambler, which lives up to its name in the best possible way. Every bite feels like a reward.
And then there’s the wasabi situation. I won’t spoil it entirely, but let’s just say you might think you’re grabbing something else and get a surprise little kick. It’s a fun, cheeky moment that perfectly captures the personality of this place — playful, confident, and clearly having fun with the menu.
The food speaks for itself, but the overall experience is warm and welcoming too. Whether you’re there for a quick solo lunch or a full dinner spread, Torarenbou delivers every time.“

“Good food, friendly service, fun times. But when your table is done, move your crew along so others can also enjoy it!! We waited extensively even with a reservation. It stresses the staff and the system and prevents the restaurant from serving more patrons!“

“A good place to taste Korean and Japanese cuisine with a twist.“

“Came for a late lunch. Greeted and sat down right away. Service was very good. Food was very good. Love this little spot, i will be back. Our table ordered, agedashi tofu, spicy miso ramen, tongkatsu ramen and hamachi Don. Everything was very tasty and fresh. Only small thing is the wasabi paste could have been stronger.“

“Excellent cuisine and service. A definite “must-dine” gem in Pleasanton. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“BEST TERIYAKI CHICKEN!! Great food! Great service!“

“I love coming here with my family. Kids are cheaper based on height. The price is reasonable for the variety - sushi, fish and meat. The miso salmon fillets are a kids favorite, tender off the grill. I like the Aussie wagyu, bulgogi and brisket and it goes well with the seaweed salad, spicy cucumber and kimchi. Our server Jada was very nice and helpful!“

“Best and most underrated ramen in the Bay! The broth is so flavorful, the texture of the noodles is perfect, and the pork belly is so crispy. Good portions for the price and the owners/service are great. My personal fav is the TanTan! Can be a little salty so request less salt :)“

“The service was very good, but the restaurant is a little bit understaffed. The restaurant was very clean. Restaurant was mostly quiet.

I recommend the katsu curry, it was very savory and comforting! The sushi was good (forgot to take a picture of the sushi). Also had tempera and fried squid.
The price was reasonable.

Would come back here again for sure! 🥰“

“We got there in time for Happy Hour. The service was outstanding. Our server named Lumbi was attentive, super nice and took care of my family (plus our dog) so well. She brought out our food quickly, drinks refills quickly and our food came out flawlessly.

The prices compared to Irvine (where we are from) is very affordable!! The fish was fresh and the avocado roll was to die for. Not traditional sushi, it’s quite westernized so if that’s your style you’ll be happy. Solid locals spot!“

“Went here with my wife and daughter and we got a table right away. It seemed like they had just opened and were still getting everything ready. The servers were young, and they were upfront with us that the food was going to take a little while.

It also seemed like they didn’t have a huge kitchen staff, but somehow they still managed to pull everything together and get the food out. Honestly, it was 100% worth the wait. The food was so good, it felt like Jesus himself came down and cooked for us 😂.

Prices were friendly, the food was tasty, and the overall experience was awesome. You could tell they were working hard, and they still delivered a great meal despite being a little short-staffed.

Definitely a place I’d come back to. And if you don’t like the food… just go home and boil some instant noodles 😂.

Also, I found them while scrolling thru IG shorts.“

“Stopped by on a work trip. Ordered two sushi roles, a bowl of miso soup, and a large Sapporo beer. The food was excellent, service was very friendly, and I walked away happy. If you enjoy sushi in a relaxed atmosphere, this is the place to go.“

“Fast service, staff are super friendly and polite, and every menu item I’ve had has tasted great! Menu prices are reasonable and they have a generous lunch special bento option. Highly recommend. This is my go-to spot for Japanese cuisine in the Pleasanton area.“

“美味及有創意的食品 棒!“

“Hanabishi Japanese Cuisine is an incredible restaurant. The environment is relaxing, and inviting, and the service is remarkable. I was also amazed by the affordable and fair prices they charge and the outstanding service and attention to detail. This is easily the best affordable sushi restaurant in Livermore. Thank you, Hanabishi, I look forward to my next visit!“

“It's small, so the wait for a dine in table can take a bit, but the food quality is worth the wait. Our family has loved everything we have tried. this is one of a handful of local restaurants my 10 year old some will never complain about!“

“Located inside Stoneridge Mall this Japanese restaurant offers a great selection of food for anyone who’s looking for a bite while shopping at Stoneridge. Plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating right when you walk into mall next to Men’s Warehouse. Service and atmosphere was good and there was no wait for a table!“

“Delicious and definitely fulfilled our sushi craving. I highly recommend Pocket Sushi no chopsticks required easy to eat, full of flavor, and so pretty to look at. I stopped by after work to pick up a few different types of pockets, the service was great and the food was fresh and made quickly. I waited no more then ten minutes for them to make my six item order and they brought it out to my car which was also very nice. We will for sure be back for more!“

“We had a great experience the food is fresh and the steak is tender the salmon was just right. Your recommendation is forwarded to Facebook“

“Every single time I’m in town, I get the Dill Sake roll at least once. More than that if I’m lucky. Not only are they fast in terms of preparation, but they are consistent and it always is fresh and delicious! Great sushi and a great value.“

“Another last minute dinner at one of the local restaurant in San Ramon. Senri Sushi has that cozy, neighborhood spot vibe that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. It’s not flashy, but that’s part of the charm, simple, welcoming, and focused on good food.

We ordered the crispy assorted tempura, which came out light, golden, and not greasy at all. Each piece had a nice crunch without overpowering the ingredients. The highlight, though, was the large sushi boat loaded with a variety of fresh fish. Everything looked beautifully presented and tasted just as good, clean flavors, soft texture, and high-quality cuts.

The soft shell crab was another standout—crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of dish you keep reaching for until it’s gone.

We also tried the crispy salmon. The flavor was there, but it could’ve used a bit more crispiness, as the texture leaned slightly chewy instead of having that satisfying crunch you’d expect.

Overall, Senro Sushi delivers a satisfying experience with fresh seafood, generous portions, and a relaxed, homey atmosphere. A solid go-to spot if you’re in the area and craving dependable, well-made sushi.“

“Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Highly recommend Yokohama Sushi! 👍“

“My friend and I got the Mentaiko soupless ramen, shishito peppers, takowasa, squid legs tempura and the hokkaido crepe. Everything was delicious. Ramen was rich and creamy with a hint of spiciness. Our appetizers were all delicious, flavorful and the squid legs were so crispy. I love the texture from the takowasa, crunchy and had a chew to it. Our servers were very sweet and helpful. I will definitely come back here if I visit again.“

“My family and I love the food! Great place to eat at lunch! I ordered the chicken and shrimp bento box! Very filling! 😋“

“This place is such a hidden gem. The sushi is incredibly fresh, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The caviar just melts in your mouth, and the rolls are perfectly balanced.

It’s got a cozy, unassuming vibe, and the service is super friendly without being overbearing. It feels like one of those spots you want to keep to yourself but also can’t wait to tell your friends about. Definitely worth checking out if you love good sushi!“

“It was the best sushi! We will be back!“

“I had a great time over there. Delicious food 🥘“

“Friendly staff, pleasant ambiance, fresh seafood“

“Definitely will go back. We enjoyed my husband's birthday dinner. Great food, fast service and best customer service!“

“The seafood salad here was delicious, and the salmon skin was baked to a perfect crisp – it was fantastic!

The bento box took a little longer to arrive, but the salmon was grilled perfectly, although the tempura was cold .

Service is friendly and fast !“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“Love this restaurant. Eat here on average twice a month. Usually see several same diners which leads us to believe restaurant has a number of regulars. Sad to see the number of diners declining due to poor management of the overall shopping center. John & Patti“

“went in a random Saturday evening & was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish, the kindness of the cashiers & the overall nice atmosphere of the restaurant. given that the restaurant was kind of tucked away, I didn’t have much for expectations but the young ladies at the counter were very attentive & hospitable & it’s always nice to hear my pleasure when you say thank you! will definitely be telling others about to visit & can’t wait to return myself.“

“The weekday lunch bento box is unbeatable! I love how crispy the teriyaki salmon is and the sushi is consistently good quality. Not to mention the prices are way lower than anything else in the area! This place should be a lot more crowded than it is!“

“I have eaten here twice and the food is excellent !! both the chicken teriyaki and the beef . The meat is grilled perfectly snd the flavor is great . The veggies are still crisp and not overdone . This is the best teriyaki bowl I have had !!“
