15 Best Japanese Restaurants near Middletown

“This place is great. My Wife & I live in the area and we order or dine in here at least once a week. The people are friendly and the sushi is always fresh. Additionally, their lunch and dinner boxes are always high quality with good portions. Compared to other Japanese Restaurants in the area, Sushi Man is price competitive. They’re a really nice addition to the South Fire / Xavier area of Middletown; I’d love to see them succeed long term!“

“Excellent experience at Japanica. The service is outstanding — the staff is always friendly, helpful, and welcoming with a smile.
When ordering online, the wait time is very short; most of the time my order is already ready when I arrive to pick it up, which is super convenient.
Prices are very affordable, making it a great option for lunch on a regular basis. Their lunch specials are delicious, well-priced, and the portion size is perfect for one person with a normal appetite.
Highly recommended for great food, fast service, and excellent customer care.“

“The spicy tuna appetizer with avacado was amazing, as was the tuna tartar. The shrimp pad thai was light and so delicious! A ginger crem brulee was enjoyed for dessert.“

“had the miso soup which was delicious and also kani salad which was also delicious. I'll be ordering again!!“

“One of my favorite places for sushi“

“Not sure if a new owner took over, but ordered via Uber eats 7/1/2025.

The bowl brings me back memories of when I first had a pokebowl.

The portions were generous, and all the mix-ins and proteins were thoroughly mixed with the sauces instead of the past few times where they just squirted sauces on top.

I would have to say if this is not under ownership, whoever made my bowl around 12:45pm on 7/1/25 should get a well deserved praise.

I have given up on Pokemoto on middletown and decided to order here on a whim but pleasantly surprised the change in quality (for good)

Definitely ordering more if this is the new standard.“

“Fresh sushi, great service and reasonably priced. Best sushi restaurant around.“

“The sushi here is fantastic, though it was a bit of a learning curve for our daughter! She wasn't a fan of the sushi texture but loved the hibachi. It’s a great place to introduce kids to new foods with their bento box options. Highly recommend the food, but the seating is a little uncomfortable, so takeout is the way to go.“

“While I love the green curry, the duck noodle soup that I had this evening was fantastic. The broth was so well seasoned and the duck was amazingly tender. Thank you Thai House for another amazing dinner!!!“
