42 Best Japanese Restaurants near Greenwich

“Good sushi and sashimi. Good place“

“We had a great omakase experience here last night! The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. You can tell the servers care about each course, and we loved learning some background about what we were eating (especially our male server last night - I didn’t catch his name but he was great!!) We’ll be back!“

“Excellent! Everything is always amazing! Great friendly staff. I live down the street and they remember my preferences and are overly accommodating.“

“Best Japanese restaurant in Greenwich! Our family always has a great time here. The hibachi is delicious and the sushi is super fresh. It’s hard to find a sushi spot run by a Japanese chef, and this place is truly a gem. We keep coming back!“

“Good food, very consistent quality and service“

“Attentive friendly staff and delicious food. Amazing combination will definitely frequent while in Greenwich.“

“Great food 🍱 drinks 🍹 and service“

“I chose the sushi deluxe, and I guess it’s similar to an omakase style. They told me it would be 9 pieces with one roll, and honestly, all the selections were great. The fish was very fresh and high quality. I was also really impressed by their service.

My friend and I were deep in conversation and lost track of time, but they never rushed us to leave. I will definitely be coming back and will make a reservation next time (we were lucky to get seats with no wait just by walking in)!“

“If you find yourself wandering through Rye and craving a culinary experience that feels both sophisticated and soul-warming, Oko is the absolute gold standard for modern Japanese fare. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between minimalist chic and neighborhood warmth, making it an ideal spot for a curated dinner that never feels stuffy.

​The craftsmanship behind each piece of scallop nigiri is evident in the way the flavors are balanced, providing a clean yet incredibly rich profile that lingers just long enough on the palate. It is rare to find seafood handled with such reverence, where the natural brininess of the scallop is elevated rather than masked by unnecessary garnishes. Each bite feels like a celebratory nod to traditional techniques reimagined for a contemporary audience, and it is honestly worth the trip to Rye for this dish alone. Oko delivers an unforgettable bite that will have you planning your return before the check even hits the table.“

“The hibachi was amazing! We also had sushi and fried calamari were scrumptious.“

“Excellent Asian fusion cuisine and great ambiance-at reasonable prices! Great drinks too!“

“BEST tuna dumplings & extremely fresh sushi 🍣 love this little gem 💎“

“Kotobuki is an authentic Japanese restaurant with excellent food and service. The head chef is the owner -- Masanori Sato, who goes informally by the moniker "Masa." Masa is always busy, behind the such bar, creating his excellent delicacies. My favorite is the sushi and sushi rolls -- always fresh and delicious. In addition to the traditional rolls, there are some wonderful in-house creations such as the Spicy Betty Roll, Lobster Roll (my wife's favorite), and my favorite, the Kevin Roll. The latter, in deference to the national color of Ireland, is spicy tuna wrapped in slices of tuna, fried, and covered with avocado (green, of course). The setting is not overdone, to say the least, but is very basic -- a variety of wooden tables surrounded by walls enhanced with various pieces of art appropriate to the cuisine and culture. The tables are separated by cloth partitions highlighting Japanese scenery. The table service is excellent, the staff is very accommodating, and shout-outs are certainly appropriate for Mr. Sato's wife (head waitress) and Jenny (one of the welcoming waitresses). Moreover, the dining room is very quiet, conducive to conversing with cohorts without the need to raise one's voice. It should be mentioned that Kotobuki remained open during the pandemic, serving both take-out meals AND in-house specialties.“

“Great food. Bento box is my fiancé & my favorite. Once a week We order.“

“What a great experience. The Sushi was the best we’ve ever had. The freshness and the presentation of every plate was a work of art. The owner, Steve welcomed us as if we were part of the family. Could not have asked for a better experience. The service is top notch.“

“Great food abs great environment!!“

“We are new to the area & wanted to find our "go-to" Chinese food delivery place. We ordered Fuji recently. So delicious! We will be ordering from Fuji from now on. EXCELLENT! Thank you. Delivery was great! :)“

“I love it!! And the place is clean“

“I just ‘rediscovered’ this wonderful sushi restaurant in Stamford. The new owner, Fiona is wonderful. Friendly and knowledgeable about her menu options as well. Lulu was my waitress. She was terrific. The service is very good. The (3) sushi chefs are very talented. Great, fresh and delicious offerings. Even the kitchen has delicious pan fried pork dumplings and drunken noodles. I’ll definitely become a ‘regular patron’ here again! 😎🙌🏻❤️👍🏻“

“It’s a tradition in my family!! We always have the best time. It’s local and the people make it special. They were all awesome to my Granddaughter . I’m a customer and a fan.“

“It is clean, balanced portions of food, I had the combo shrimp & filet mignon steak, very good at reasonable $, I think it's ,the best combo! including miso soup & choice of ice cream,I had Pistachios with marischino cherries. overall great 👍 thumbs up!“

“I had an outstanding experience at this BYOB sushi spot! The food was exceptional, boasting fresh ingredients and delightful flavors. The service was top-notch, and Sharon, our server, elevated the dining experience with her attentiveness and friendly demeanor. Bring your favorite drink, and enjoy a fantastic meal with excellent service“

“Excellent Sushi 🍣 so fresh, amazing Thai been going there for over 11 years. You will not be disappointed. It's family-owned. It's more than just Sushi it has Thai,Seafood, Curry and of course freshest Sushi around! xopuma“

“love this place ❤️, will recommend, food is great and the staff well maintained“

“My family and I have been going to Open Rice for 10 years! Their food os always fresh and delicious. My kids love their Sesame Chicken, Steak Hibachi and General Tso Chicken and they never disappoint. I enjoy the Poke Bowl as they offer a full bowl of delicious, healthy options! Try it out and you will love it!“

“I'd like to happily say that I've been to this place several times and ordered delivery a few times as well and they've been consistently great. All staff are very friendly, and the delivery is fast and correct. They have great lunch specials with rolls, but I've had dinner there before, too which is just as good. Hibachi-seafood(though I had it served to the regular table)-was delicious and a quality portion, but the sushi is just as good. Their avocado salad is great.“

“Came here to eat in New Year’s Day. Miso soup was so good. We ordered many hand yolks between two people. There was one tool I didn’t like too much I can’t remember the name now but all the rest were fresh and delicious.
They even gave us a cute ice cream dessert“

“Great food and great service.“

“This might genuinely be my favorite restaurant in Stamford. I hold it close to my heart, not only because of how great the food is but because it’s always been there. The service and atmosphere is always in tip top shape, never lacking or dirty. The food is on another level for the all you can eat, insanely delicious and fresh. Whenever we’re celebrating something or just on a night out, we know that we can always rely on Sushi X2.“

“Tutto molto buono e posto gradevole“

“The food was delicious, service was great too! Really good drinks 🍹“

“If you like sushi and really delicious and we'll prepared food. This is the pla e for you. I usually order some sushi rolls, the fish soup and my favorite is the vegetables in garlic sauce. Absolutely delicious. They also make the best cheese cake around.“

“One of the only places around that is Asian food with a nice atmosphere. The dumplings were especially delicious, and the salad and miso soup were especially good. Then the bento box is always fun. The only negative was that the teriyaki chicken could have a little more char on it.“

“I finally got to try this restaurant after the shut down of Ichiban and I was not disappointed, the chicken teriyaki has a more soy taste to it than sweet which I didn’t mind from Ichiban. The chicken teriyaki was delicious but the only critic I have is, for the extra portions of meat or shrimp plating it better in the tray because the sauce was dripped all over the place. Other than the plating critic, that’s all I have to say, good job and Welcome!

Kid-friendliness: EA Teriyaki is inside of the mall, come on in and bring the kids with you!“

“A reliable sushi spot that we keep coming back to when we’re in the area. We went around 5:30pm and were seated right away. It wasn’t too crowded initially, but picked up as the evening went on.

Parking on Mamaroneck Ave can be a bit tricky, but if you circle around, you’ll usually find something.

We like sitting near the front with a view of the street. Service is consistently good, and it’s nice seeing familiar staff over multiple visits.

We usually order a variety of rolls and share, which makes for a great mix. Everything is fresh, well presented, and tastes great. A Sapporo pairs perfectly with the meal.

Definitely a spot we’d recommend and continue to revisit.“

“Good lunch selections just that their miso soup is so salty. Otherwise everything else is very good. I had salmon teriyaki with California rolls. It came with side salad , miso soup and steamed veggies. Salmon size serving is big for lunch . Very happy with the order. Cheap for $14.“

“Hunan Larchmont has been my family’s favorite restaurant since my children were very young. We have celebrated many occasions there throughout the years and love the friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Their food is always fresh and delicious!“

“The food was delicious, with the sushi tasting amazing. Excellent quality. The sake was also great quality and not too dry or bitter. We enjoyed several appetizers as well as sushi options. We were disappointed to learn that the omakase option on the menu was not available even with planning ahead.“

“Food was great, nice decor and soothing atmosphere. Very affordable. Had a great time with family.“

“Eat in or take out the food is always great! Order food to pick up and it is always ready! Friend workers, doesn’t get any better than that 👍“

“Amazing food! Among all the takeout options in Stamford, Kampei stands out as one of the best, if not the best. I can't pick just one favorite dish because everything is consistently delicious, but I particularly love their Japanese bento boxes, sushi bar offerings, chow fun, and shredded duck. Whether you choose takeout or dine-in, the atmosphere and service are both excellent. Highly recommended!“

“Can’t wait to go back!
Water Moon is such a cozy little gem. The vibe is super relaxing, and the dumplings? Unreal. So flavorful and perfectly made, we couldn’t stop talking about them. Our server, Anna, was the sweetest and made everything feel extra special. Sad they’re closed for remodeling, but I’m already excited for their return. Definitely a favorite! Perfect for a business meeting, a friends/family get together, or even to sit down and do some studying and enjoy lunch!“
