14 Best Japanese Restaurants in Santa Rosa

“One of my favorite places to eat. Many options, all of it delicious, very fast service, and great atmosphere. It can feel a little pricy but considering how much a meal out costs anywhere nowadays I suppose it’s average, and they give pretty good portions. 10/10 see you there!

Vegetarian options: Any meat ingredient can be replaced by a nonmeat option“

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

“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.“

“Just the best experience and the food just melts in your mouth. If you like crunchy, they have that too.

Kid-friendliness: They gave my kids chopstick helpers and tons of food opetion on the menu. We did potstickers with chicken and fish.“

“Manager/Owner I think… is always nice and welcoming(amazing hospitality) I’ve been coming here for almost 2 years now and for the first time I asked for extra spicy on my pork bowl. It’s amazing. Not too much where it’s not enjoyable but right in the middle where you want to continue eating.“

“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.“

“I love Raku Ramen because the food is always high quality, fresh, and flavorful. Every dish is consistently well-prepared, ensuring a delicious experience every time. The rich, savory broths, perfectly cooked noodles, and thoughtfully crafted toppings make each bowl satisfying and comforting. Whether it’s a quick meal or a sit-down dinner, Raku Ramen never disappoints.“

“Quick stop for.some tacos to go for my daughter, the first time. Very expensive to my surprise. The name "El Roy" kinda made me hesitate to stop and buy food. I do not think I will be stopping again due to their prices but it appears they are doing well.

Wheelchair accessibility: Regular parking lot.“

“Was encouraged to check out O Sushi when passing through the area. While it is definitely not in a "fancy" location don't let that discourage you. Once inside the environment was great along with the food and service. If ever passing through the area again we would definitely check it out again!“

“Haku Sushi in Santa Rosa is an absolute gem, easily the best sushi spot in town and a go-to for anyone craving fresh, flavorful Japanese cuisine. The quality of the food here is exceptional—each dish is beautifully presented, with ingredients that taste incredibly fresh and vibrant. From the classic rolls to the more unique specialty creations, every bite is a delightful experience. Their sushi chefs clearly put a lot of care and skill into each dish, making this place a cut above the rest.

One of the standout perks of Haku Sushi is their 20% discount if you pay in cash. Not only does this add value to an already outstanding dining experience, but it’s also a thoughtful touch that makes eating out feel a bit more affordable, which is rare these days. It’s a bonus that just adds to the appeal of coming here regularly.

Service is also excellent. I’ve found that pick-up orders are ready super fast, making it ideal for those times when you need a quick, reliable takeout option. The staff is friendly, efficient, and always attentive to ensure you have a great experience, whether dining in or taking out.

The restaurant itself is spacious, with ample seating that accommodates both small and large groups comfortably. There’s a relaxed, inviting ambiance that makes it perfect for anything from a casual dinner with friends to a family gathering. And with Haku Sushi being open until midnight, it’s one of the few places around where you can enjoy quality sushi late into the evening—a huge plus for night owls or anyone with a late-night craving.

In a nutshell, Haku Sushi is everything you want in a sushi restaurant: top-notch food, friendly service, great atmosphere, and that unbeatable cash discount. If you’re in Santa Rosa and looking for amazing sushi, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend! They also are on the DoorDash platform for delivery options.“

“Great food and service!!!!“

“Delicious food. We came here for my son's birthday. My mom won't try sushi but did find a great meal (hot plate) that she liked. My son and I had 5 different rolls between us that were all very good. We also got a plate of tempura veggies that were crisp but not greasy and were very tasty. Also enjoyed the fun sake margaritas. Really refreshing.“

“We wanted to try a new sushi place, this is going to be our new favorite! We tried the gyoza, Dragon Roll, Hamachi Lovers roll, and the Tropical Dream roll. Everything was delicious and very fresh (which is saying something since we went towards closing time on a Monday night). The service was very friendly and the prices were very reasonable. Great spot for date night!“

“Consistent great food, very nice and speedy service. We're never disappointed! If I had anything to complain about is it's always cold in there! I just started bringing something warmer just in case.“
