40 Best Japanese Restaurants near Greenwich

“Good sushi and sashimi. Good place“

“My husband and I did the table side omakase and overall, all the sushi was absolutely delicious! The only critique we have is for the dessert, which was green tea ice cream. We feel like for the price per person, the dessert should be a bit more elevated than ice cream that was most likely store bought. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who asked, but just give a heads up that the dessert may feel lacking.“

“Good food, very consistent quality and service“

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

“Angelo is the best chef I’ve ever had he cooked everything to perfection and was so funny and nice he made my birthday the best it can ever be. He definitely left a great Impression that will never forget. Much love and super grateful for everyone especially Angelo!!!“

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

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

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

“Fogama provides seriously delicious Japanese dishes, that are expertly created from a vast and varied menu. Every dish was enjoyable and appreciated. Service was great when we first arrived, but then lacked on a very busy Friday evening. We will definitely return.“

“Great food abs great environment!!“

“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)!“

“I have been going here with my family as long as I was able to eat sushi. This place is one of my favorite restaurants. It feels like a slice of Japan dropped into downtown Stamford. The food is always incredible and the service always makes you feel welcome. The atmosphere is so cozy too. I love this restaurant. Masa (the owner and head chef) is a master who makes every visit feel special.“

“I was able to get a reservation for two, same day for 6pm at the bar area. We didn’t wait at all as there was bar seating. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and did not disappoint when asked for a recommendation. After many nigiri selections and a few hand rolls I would recommend the hamachi & scallion, bluefin tuna, and the spicy ora king salmon hand rolls. I had a favorite hand roll place before (KazuNori) but OKO amazed me and is now my favorite place for hand rolls. Presentation is taken seriously, as well as the craft that goes into the cuts of fish and I can tell the fish is very fresh. As for the sushi, I very much enjoyed every piece I ordered but my favorites were definitely the salmon belly and the smoked black cod. I definitely see myself returning and recommending OKO. Atmosphere and service were also very positive during my visit. This place is definitely a positive experience for me.
Things to keep in mind: their sushi/nigiri are smaller than your average sushi place but still a welcoming size. They take walk-ins but reservations seem to be highly recommended. OKO has high quality fish/ingredients so you will be paying a pretty penny.“

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

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

“My husband and I went there for lunch on Tuesday, only one table was taken besides us , we ordered tempura , pai Thai , and a lunch special shushi and sashimi. Food came in 10 minutes was delicious ! Highly recommended ! The only reason I gave 4 stars for atmosphere is because it’s a small place , I’m not sure when it get busy ——,
Service was great !“

“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 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“

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

“Tutto molto buono e posto gradevole“

“Great food and great service.“

“I was a little hesitant because the reviews were mixed, but honestly really enjoyed my experience! Although it was busy (on a Tuesday night!) , the wait time to get a table was not long. We got AYCE sushi for only $30/ person!! The fish was fresh (the salmon sashimi was incredible quality) and great options. The service was okay, but hey, they were busy so I always give them grace. Will 100% be going back.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“Open Rice Poke Bowl is one of my favorite spots in Stamford! The food is always fresh, delicious, and consistently good. I love that the menu offers a variety of options, so there’s truly something for everyone.

Favorites from there are the Thai Curry Noodle Soup, Hibachi, Mongolian beef, pineapple pork fried rice, szechuan dumplings, sushi is very fresh as well! Highly recommend!“

“Haikou is a great place! I got the crispy white meat sesame chicken with brown rice and it was very solid and came out nice and fresh. Next time I’ll try General Tso’s because everything looked good. Haikou definitely has my stamp of approval! I approve and recommend for sure.“

“Such an amazing place for hibachi! Our chef and waitress were very accommodating with my special requests, making the entire dining experience enjoyable from start to finish. Hibachi dinner also came with clear soup and their Ginger salad was delicious,must try!
The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and absolutely delicious.
They also have a full bar, which is a
great bonus!

Buddha has definitely become a new favorite, and we’ll be bringing our family back again soon. Highly recommend!“

“I came here for lunch as I had an appointment near. I had a very unexpectedly but good food experience here. For lunch I had 3 sushi rolls with a salad. One of the options I selected was the snow crab roll and when I say it was so delicious and fresh!!! I'm still thinking about it. 😋“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 👍“

“I generally like the food here, I have tried their general tso's chicken, pad thai, scallion pancakes, pork fried dumplings and various sushi dishes which were all quite good. Not a top restaurant but definitely a decent pick and not insanely expensive considering the area it is in. There usually arent that many people eating there if you like a relatively quiet dining experience but I also rated it a 3 for atmosphere as it isn't very lively. Good service, 4 stars for me overall.“

“Overall, we had a good experience at Kampei and I would definitely come back.

For the most part, the food was very good. Everything tasted fresh, had good flavor, and seemed like they use quality ingredients. We tried the bento box with teriyaki chicken and panko shrimp, which came with soup, rice, and fried vegetables. The whole bento box was really good and definitely something I would order again.

The chicken and broccoli was fantastic, which says a lot for me because I'm pretty particular about that dish. Chicken and broccoli can be very hit or miss depending on the restaurant, and this one was definitely a hit. The boneless ribs were probably one of the best things we ordered, and the pork fried rice was also very good.

The honey walnut shrimp was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad, but I don't think I would order it again. The sauce was a little heavy and I didn't really get much honey flavor from it. It tasted more savory than sweet, almost like a sweet BBQ-style sauce with walnuts.

The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, but it is pretty small. It's more like a small, cozy restaurant than your typical Chinese takeout place. There are only a handful of tables and a few booths, so if you're coming with kids like we did, just keep in mind that sound travels and everyone can pretty much hear everyone. 😂

Service was good overall. The woman at the front was very nice and welcoming, and our server was okay.

Would I give it a perfect 5 stars? No. But would I go back? Absolutely. The good definitely outweighed the things I didn't love, and there are several dishes I'd come back for.

I gave it 4 stars overall, mostly because the food was very good. For atmosphere, I went with 3 stars. I probably would have given it a 4, but the space is a little tighter than I personally like. It's not so small that it's uncomfortable, though, just a bit more compact than I prefer. If you're dining alone or with just two or three people, you may not even notice the size as much. We were there as a family with kids, so the space felt a little tighter for us.

If you're in the area, Kampei is definitely worth trying.

God bless you all and remember to smile because Jesus loves you. Enjoy!“
