12 Best Japanese Restaurants in National City

“The food is amazing, as is the service. My family have eaten there since they opened in 1986. They were small then, when Swenson's ice cream used to be next door. My favorite dish was the champon noodles. It still tastes the same!!“

“Sushi is DELICIOUS! Customer Service is Awesome! Place is Mellow and Relaxing and very Enjoyable!“

“delicious fresh tasting food, affordable prices, and great portions! I ordered the beef bowl

I stopped by here a few days ago on my lunch break. It’s a spot that joins with other food places making any sort of “food court”.“

“Lee is truly an asset to this restaurant. She’s always kind, welcoming, and makes every customer feel valued. Good service is what brings people back, and Lee is the kind of person who builds loyal customers to add to that the chefs know exactly what they are doing and the establishment is spotless clean thank you all for being a part of the community!“

“It is my favorite ramen place, I always come here to socialize with friends, and I love how spacious it is. Even on a busy day it doesn't feel cramped up. Their food is excellent, both ramen and sushi.“

“The best place to eat, recommend it by me.“

“I got the Box A sushi box! I got a Philadelphia roll, dragon roll, and seaweed salad. Paid a little extra to sub a soda for their Daily Matcha. Total was around $25. I am honestly so surprised at how good the sushi is! I've definitely paid much more for this quality, really amazing value for all the food you get. Fish is generous and has a very fresh taste to it! Matcha is very good, balances sweet and bitter perfectly, overall smooth and refreshing. Inside there is some seating and tables, this makes a great study location for National City. Staff was super sweet/polite and accommodating! I would say, as long as prices don't increase too much this is a fantastic place to get solid quality sushi.“

“Amazing food while we were visiting the area. Best service and the food presentation was perfection. Portions and pricing are both outstanding. 10/10 recommend.“

“Food already great here 💕 🍣 🍱“

“Bang for your buck on sushi. I always get sashimi platter and salt and pepper tofu. Ginza house noodles, orange chicken, all of it amazing.

Wait staff could use some training on service and how to look for tables that may need assistance. They seem to lose their way when they have more than 4 of 5 tables.“

“This is the second time I’m trying the food at Sarku Japan at Plaza Bonita. The first time I ordered was chicken teriyaki. It was flavorful. The latest one I ordered was green dragon rolls rolls. I notice that the cashier who prepared my dragon rolls didn’t change his disposable clear gloves. He didn’t change it even to the customer before me. When preparing food, he has to change the disposable gloves. Food safety first. I was watching him making the dragon rolls from afar. I was asking myself, what if I get a stomach ache or food poisoning? I hope the cashiers/food preparer knows how to handle food. There will always be contamination. I may not be the only one notices it. Don’t wait until someone complains about having a stomach ache. Handling food is very important. Workers, please wash your hands after bathroom breaks and change gloves for God’s ’ sake.“

“Excellent service amd delicious food“
