20 Best Japanese Restaurants near Cheshire

“Toro sushi is the absolute best sushi place you can go to. It’s a little small hole in the wall place but they have such fresh and delicious sushi and rolls, I try to get lunch there at least every other week it’s so good and they are reasonably priced too. Highly recommend!!!!!“

“My husband and I went for dinner for the first time last night and we were blown away! The food, service and martini's were the best we have had in years. The menu is extensive, prices are reasonable and our experience was perfect from start to finish. We cannot wait to go back - it's our new fav!!!“

“I stopped in here with my friend a few weeks ago to get poke bowls and boba. My peach tea with popping strawberry boba was amazing!!!! The build your own poke bowl option is really fun to do too if you like picking your own options for things. Such a cute little hidden gem for sure!“

“We have been going to Gohan since they opened and always leave with a full belly and happy heart! The food is amazing and the experience is second to none. Can’t say enough great things about Will and Rachel and how they run their restaurant.“

“If I could give the service more than five stars I would. Don't get me wrong the food was great also but May was fantastic. This is a very unassuming place, it small and super nice. They have so many different choices, from sushi to hibachi.“

“I chose Soga because they had Toro on their menu. It was only available in a roll. That roll, while still delicious, did not satisfy my craving for toro or really deliver the same experience. They lost one star for the tempura. I prefer mine thinner sliced with a lighter coating. This was thick and heavily battered. Overall, the sashimi collection was decent and fresh.Will go again“

“This is a hidden gem located in Waterbury, CT. They offer the freshest, most delicious sushi I've ever had in Connecticut. Their menu boasts unique selections, alongside all the classics, ensuring there's something to please every palate.Be sure to try the Waterbury roll, it's a true explosion of flavor!“

“This place has become so popular over the last couple of years for their sushi. Literally drive out of.my way to come here whenever I get the chance. Food is always fresh and sushi is on point. Cannot recommend this place enough. But dinner time will be a wait even with a reservation as this place is so popular.“

“amazing food. Always fresh and great quality, we have been there 3 time's in the last year & it continues to be consistently delicious with fantastic service. With the decline in food service since covid this restaurant stands out for excellence every time“

“A beautiful restaurant with nice interior. Delicious food with various Japanese food selections. I love their special roll selections and how they serve it with beautiful presentatio. Ramen was great too. Octopus ball is good, but little bit creamy for me.“

“Yes, it's in a somewhat interesting location in a strip mall off the main road. I've been trying to find a place like this for quite some time. I've only gotten takeout so that's what my review is focusing on. It's difficult finding quality sushi at reasonable prices, and Tanpopo really delivers where it matters. The fish is fresh and has excellent texture. I ordered several massive platters of nigiri sushi of all kinds, and my family was really delighted with the taste. If I have any criticism, it is that their cut rolls are somewhat-poorly assembled, and tend to fall apart after a few seconds of being held with chopsticks. Their lunch and dinner specials are very reasonably priced, as are their "party platters" of nigiri sushi. The sashimi is of equivalent quality, although I do prefer to cook my own rice at home to eat with it (we recommend Tamaki Gold). Placing an order on the phone was simple, and we paid when we went to pick up the food which was ready to go at the requested time. Great service and pleasant staff!“

“Great sushi, great service, great price. Can't beat it (get the large sake?)Honestly love a lot of the sushi places. As long as the ingredients are fresh you really can't go bad with sushi and it was all fresh and delicious here. And I love that it looked family owned and operated, I like the more relaxed places like this, it makes it more comfortable. I'll definitely be back here again and again ♡♡“

“If I could give more than 5-stars I would! Not just for the food, but the best service ever and the reason we will be going back there is all because of Kimmy, she does everything by herself there and was outstanding and just a very special person. We will ABSOLUTELY be back and this is now our go-to date night spot without a doubt!“

“Hibachi was great! They were fast and put on a good show! Food was yummy and not too salty (which is common in most hibachi I've tried on the area). Would absolutely recommend!Dietary restrictions: They were very sensitive to a dairy allergy in our party which was great!“

“Marissa was a great waitress. She was very on top of making sure everyone was happy with their food. She was patient with me about ordering. I personally am not huge into sushi but my boyfriend is very much a fan of this place's sushi. I really liked the Rock and Roll rolls. Ate about half of it, my poor boyfriend. He also got the Tiger Roll. He enjoyed it. He liked dipping all the rolls into the provided sauce. I got the tempura udon which was really good. The tempura onion rings and broccoli made me think of "onion rings lite". Wasn't greasy at all.Now on to my no-no for the place. The seating arraignment is a little weird. And the green tea (as a green tea snob) was not very good. Maybe it's just that green tea, I don't know.“

“I have never had an issue with Tokyo II. Even though I have never eaten inside the restaurant, I can't recommend this place enough. I usually get a dinner bento box, and they have had no problem substituting out the food with pork in it for other options. I love their miso soup and teriyaki salmon as well. The food is always prepared quickly, packaged securely, pretty warm even after being delivered to my home or driven back as takeout. Definitely give them a shot if you enjoy Japanese cuisine and sushi!“

“My family's favorite Japanese place. Everyone loves the teriyaki chicken, and we usually order sushi. I recommend the black dragon roll and the green dragon roll.A quick update: The sushi station sometimes closes a half hour or an hour before closing. You can still get grilled stuff of course.“

“Always love coming here. The food is quality and more or less comes out quickly and is accurate. My only issue with the restaurant is your reservation is really not a reservation? It just holds a spot in line. I have never arrived to my table being ready.“

“The food is very good, which is why I go back. But we ordered all you can eat one night and it seemed a few people weren't getting the correct orders. It also took an hour to get a couple sushi rolls while the dinners ordered off the regular menu came quickly. It kind of squashes the "all you can eat" deal if you have to wait an hour for what you ordered. I recommend ordering take out or from the regular menu!Parking: It's in a plaza with a lot of safe parking“

“Was here recently on my PTO while staying in Wallingford! Everything was amazing start to finish! You will not be sorry if you eat here! I ate like a Queen! Highly recommend the Mango Delight, it was so amazing! Crab Rangoon was excellent, my Smoked Salmon Roll was wonderful, and the Pho. Let me talk about the Pho. The Beef Pho was so amazing! It was so comforting and wonderful. It felt like home to me. Such a wonderful soup. It does come with big portions so you may have to take it home. Great service and once again my compliments to the chefs and everyone there. If I’m ever in Wallingford again, I’ll be in again! ❤️❤️❤️“
