22 Best Japanese Restaurants near New Canaan

“I chose this place based on Yelp reviews and it didn't disappoint. We were in town for a soccer game and after the game the girls were in the mood for some sushi. Parking was tough as there were no spots available on the street, so I parked in the back across the street in the bank lot, luckily it was 8pm and it's not open. Once we walked in we were greeted by staff, and were pleased by the inside decor, as it has a nice authentic Japanese scene. Ordering was easy and kids got the sushi rolls they wanted and those Japanese sodas. I got a a rainbow roll and a Godzilla roll and a bowl of chicken fried rice. The girls got California rolls tuna rolls. The total bill was $125 + tip. So, it's what I expected to pay for good food and service in a nice area. I recommend if you like Sushi or Japanese food.“

“For the best Greenwich sushi, I recommend Tsuki Sushi. Dinners for two or a group of friends would be just right in this setting. You can't go wrong with the Hamachi Jalapeno appetizer if you're looking for something hot and flavorful. The sushi chefs are true experts in their field, and it shows in every bite.“

“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“

“One of the better sushi places I’ve experienced in Fairfield County, with a lovely ambiance! We experienced outstanding service, and even on a very busy Saturday evening, service moved right along. Our sushi and other food was delicious. We’ll be back!“

“Good quality sushi! I recommend eating in this restaurant because the ambiance is really nice and gives a more elevated feel. I had their sashimi and rolls and I can taste a better quality difference here. I have also eaten their bento boxes and they're really delicious with teriyaki and also katsu chicken. I recommend eating in for the experience and waitresses have been really nice to help explain different types of fish. Their tea was also really nice too. I will continue to come here whenever I want Japanese cuisine and good service.“

“Brought 2 friends here for lunch last week and the food, service, ambiance and fish quality were top notch. We ordered and share the 3-roll lunch special, pad see ew, sashimi plate and papaya salad. All fresh and delicious and it was plenty for the 3 of us. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back to try more of the Thai dishes.“

“My wife and I are foodies. For the past five years, this is our favorite restaurant in Connecticut, worth every penny. The tables may be small and crowded and the wine selection is very limited, but flavors are amazing, as is the variety of unexpected choices. We're hooked on some dishes, but I encourage you to explore the entire menu. You won't be disappointed.“

“Food came out quickly!Reasonable price for food!!Food quality was good for all you can eat.Pre warning! The portion was kinda big for hot food, sushi and others! Big roll ( a lot of rice). Don't order too much at the beginning!Definitely. Going back again!“

“The food is very good. Especially the pork gyoza. They have comfy seating and the wait for food is about 5-10 minutes.Vegetarian options: If you’re vegetarian, Open Rice is still a good place to eat.Parking: A few parking lots around the area, which usually aren’t too packed.Kid-friendliness: Lots of yummy food!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp leading up to the door.“

“Yum. Food is excellent. Beautifully presented. Had hot and cold appetizers. Crispy rice was excellent. Yellowtail/salmon/tuna pizza and Shrimp Shumai were good. Rock Shrimp Tempura was a little too sweet for my liking. Specialty rolls--Greenwich and Starry Skies--were unique and delicious. Service was great.Only 4 stars because the acoustics are terrible. Seated next to a group, where two tables had been pushed together in the front of the restaurant (??), it was difficult to hear other diners speaking at my table. So many wonderful sushi restaurants near/on the Avenue, I think I'd visit others before returning here.“

“I had an amazing dining experience at Bond Hibachi Grill in Norwalk, CT. The food was delicious, and the hibachi show was entertaining. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the evening even more enjoyable. I can't wait to visit again!“

“Kazu is the place to go for Sushi and Japanese cuisine in the Norwalk area. The fish is high quality and the staff and sushi chefs are top notch. The staff is super friendly and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Don't overlook the bar either! It doesn't matter if you're looking for lunch or dinner or just a quick snack and a drink they've got you covered. Rob and his staff are awesome.“

“I just went to get take out there. Sat in sushi bar and ordered other items while waiting. For take out, I ordered the imperial and sushi B..Supposed to come with 10 pieces of sushi.. however both only came with 8.Restaurant is expensive. So if you gonna charge this much. You should at least honor what you said you would do.“

“Great customer service, owners are the best (super kind and never fail to put their customers first). Food is great. The soba noodles, hot spicy ramen, and the steak teriyaki are my favorites. Really good atmosphere and always a good time.“

“Hands down my go to for Japanese or Chinese food. Their quality and standards are superb. Their Miami rolls are delicious, their soups are delicious, and their Chinese menu is reasonably priced and great quality compared to other places. Highly recommend!“

“I lived in Japan for several years and, since returning to Stamford, I have been looking for a Japanese restaurant that knows how correctly to prepare and serve Japanese food, sashimi and sushi in particular. After many unsatisfactory experiences at various local spots I found Kiku and my search was over. These folks really know their Japanese cooking. Everything was perfect -- and the price is very reasonable. Now, I eat at Kiku once a week and find 100% satisfaction. They also do a very tasty drunken noodles, but I go there mainly for their raw fish. Also, attentive service. Just great! To find this sort of dining experience in a strip mall in Springdale is amazing.“

“So just had dinner last night, Grace roll, shrimp tempura, salad and tempura soba, shrimp teriyaki. Some crazy lady came to complain about her take out! Everything was fabulous and we do this at least every 2 weeks for many many years. Have yet to be disappointed....“

“During my recent visit to Kashi during Stamford's restaurant week, I had an exceptional experience that stood out in every way. The moment we were seated, the service immediately set a high bar. Our server, whose name we regrettably didn't catch, was the highlight of our evening. He was not only remarkably kind but also infused our dining experience with a delightful sense of humor, making our time there truly enjoyable. His impeccable customer service and attention to detail were second to none, and he undoubtedly deserves recognition, if not a promotion, for his extraordinary efforts.The food was another major highlight of my group’s visit to Kashi. It arrived promptly, which was impressively quick, and the presentation was visually stunning, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. The quality and flavor of the dishes we tried were outstanding, contributing to a memorable dining experience.Opting to dine at Kashi during restaurant week was part of my broader initiative to explore Stamford more thoroughly, as I often find myself dining in the city. This visit surprised me and exceeded my expectations, as there were other places where I was disappointed. I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. The combination of delicious food, exceptional service, and the atmosphere has convinced me to add Kashi to my list of favorite restaurants and to recommend it to anyone looking for a top-quality dining or a date night experience in Stamford.“

“Simply the best! as another reviewer stated I almost don’t want to write the review & let everyone know just how great this restaurant is!. The waitress is superb at service, foods always fresh and the staff deserves to know they are very appreciated by their customers!.“

“Vanessa (owner) is the best. She clearly cares about quality and Kampei II delivers. It’s always fresh, always hot, and always delicious. Can’t go wrong with anything whether you go for the Chinese menu or Japanese/sushi. Order with confidence and enjoy!“
