27 Best Japanese Restaurants near Redlands

“We’re so happy we found James and Matthew again.

Our family first met them over a decade ago, and over the years James’s sushi became the standard by which we compared every other sushi place. After losing touch for several years, we were thrilled to discover that they opened Tokyo Restaurant in Redlands, and it is every bit as good as we remembered.

The quality and freshness of the food is exceptional, and James’s sushi really stands apart. The service is just as impressive. Matthew runs the place with true five-star attention to detail. Holly is wonderful. After meeting us just once, she remembered our drink preferences, even that I usually bring my own water bottle. That level of genuine care is rare.

We’ve tried many sushi spots locally and while traveling, but nothing compares. It was extra special to bring our youngest son, who first knew James and Matthew when he was ten, and now he’s almost 24.

Exceptional food, exceptional service and wonderful people. We highly recommend Tokyo Restaurant. Five stars all the way.“

“Very quaint, lil corner location. The service was quick & very courteous. Miso soup was hot and tasty. The order of sushi & hand rolls were delicious. 1st time coming, the owner and her family were very warm and inviting to their establishment. Definitely recommend if your in the area.“

“Pretty good sushi, nice enough atmosphere with cushioned booth seating, decent lighting (dimmer than a lot of restaurants but not swanky mood lighting), and fun decor. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their establishment and its product, if perhaps a little bit over-eager and leaning in a little hard into being the customer's new best friend. Again, charming and nice people from our experiences (we've been twice now), not bad service at all, and really depends on who your server is that night.

I order rolls at sushi restaurants, and these were good. Can't recall what i ordered, it was a minute ago, and I liked it (I like sushi in general), but it was maybe a bit sweeter than I prefer. There are a few better rolls in Redlands, but a few worse as well. The music and overall sound is a bit louder than ideal, but not the worst i've experienced. Some of the nitty-gritty details tell on the place a bit, like paper napkins instead of cloth and a lot more plastic than i'd like, which give it a sort of institutional fast-casual feel rather than a nicer restaurant feel (even many diners have cloth napkins), in contrast to the trendy atmosphere. Over all I would meet friends or my family here for dinner or perhaps lunch with no major complaints, but probably not a date personally.“

“Best Japanese food I've ever had“

“Great for a quick stop if you want something more healthy.

The staff has always been friendly and quick. I can order online and pick up fast, earn free add-ons, and the food is good. The inside is plain and kind of dark, but clean, however I rarely eat there.“

“A huge selection! Everything was really good and the staff was polite, professional and fast! I want to try the dinner buffet! the lunch buffet is stacked!“

“Great sushi and tempura! Service was excellent“

“All you can eat sushi.!!! Delicious..!!!!!“

“I had an excellent experience at Seattle’s Best Teriyaki restaurant! We ordered shrimp fried rice, chicken/beef teriyaki plate and the Salmon bento box. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The chicken was tender, the beef was juicy, the salmon was perfectly grilled, flaky, and full of flavor and the teriyaki sauce had the perfect balance of sweet and savory without being overpowering. The portions were generous, and everything was served hot.

The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure my order was prepared quickly. The restaurant was clean and had a comfortable atmosphere, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. If you’re looking for delicious teriyaki with great service and good value, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“SO good every single time! 🍣🍜 We absolutely love the sushi and ramen here. Everything tastes fresh, the portions are great, and the service is always friendly. This has become one of our go-to spots. Highly recommend you won’t be disappointed!“

“This place is a true neighborhood gem! It's the kind of hole-in-the-wall you hope to stumble on and then want to keep the place a secret all to yourself. The sushi was outstanding, clearly made with care and skill. Every piece full of flavor.

The staff made the meal even better. They were warm, attentive, and genuinely polite without ever feeling stiff or overly formal. The kind of service that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit.

The atmosphere is a little rough around the edges, as it won't win any design awards, but there's a well-worn, lived-in charm to it that fits the vibe of the food. It's clear this is a place run with love, even if the decor hasn't caught up to the cooking.

If you're after Instagram-perfect ambiance, this might not be it. If you're after excellent sushi and people who genuinely care about serving you well, this is a must-try.“

“Taste good and all employee awesome 👍👍👍👍“

“Sushi Miguel’s Style is a great local spot with a welcoming atmosphere and a spacious, comfortable dining room. The restaurant is clean and well kept, with plenty of seating and a fun sushi-themed interior. The storefront is easy to find, and there’s also a nice outdoor area nearby with tables and palm trees. A great place to stop for sushi and enjoy a relaxed meal.“

“You have to try this place...AMAZING! Al is a fantastic server who gave us the history behind Miguel's. The Acapulco spicy roll is so delicious, and the salmon skin hand roll was the best hand roll we have ever had! This is one of our new favorite sushi spots EVER! Check out their daily specials. You deserve it!“

“I got the Steak and Shrimp bowl with brown rice and veggies…it was really good and flavorful but I wasn’t pleased that the shrimp wasn’t cleaned…the mud vein clearly visible on the 5 shrimp in the bowl…I picked the shrimp out and ate the steak…paid $12 for a bowl been nice if the shrimp were cleaned…won’t stop me from eating there again, I just won’t order any shrimp.“
