35 Best Japanese Restaurants near Orange

“Great food! Definitely coming back!“

“From the moment you step into Wasabi Sushi Bar on Beale Street, you are welcomed into an ambiance that masterfully blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary design elements. But the star of my recent visit wasn’t just the impeccably prepared sushi, it was the exceptional service delivered by our server, Meagan. Service can make or break a dining experience, and in this case, Meagan elevated it to new heights. Her knowledge of the menu was commendable. She provided insights into the chef's specialties, gave wonderful pairing suggestions, and had an uncanny ability to anticipate our needs before we even realized them ourselves. It's one thing to be efficient, but Meagan brought a personal touch, ensuring we felt attended to without ever feeling rushed. Every dish we ordered arrived in a timely manner, and Meagan's descriptions of each dish as she presented them added an extra layer to the overall dining experience. She navigated the fine line of being engaging and present without being intrusive, showcasing a mastery in hospitality. It's servers like Meagan who transform a meal from simply eating out into a memorable dining experience. In a city bustling with dining options, it's the quality of service that often stands out, and thanks to Meagan, Wasabi Sushi Bar is at the top of my list for recommendations. If you find yourself at Wasabi, do yourself a favor and request Meagan as your server. Your taste buds will thank you for the sushi, and your overall dining experience will be elevated by her unparalleled service.“

“nice sushi and shashimi and roll varieties“

“It is an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant that features a Hibachi grill towards the rear, where you can choose your selections of proteins, veggies and starches to get cooked on the flattop grill.
There are about 5 hot stations filled with fan favorites of chicken & broccoli, salmon, stuffed mushrooms, crab rangoons, lo mein noodles, pizza, etc as well as cold buffet stations with fresh fruit, salads, an assortment of desserts along with an ice cream bar. All in all, a good, clean place to bring the family, a few friends after work, for a very reasonably priced meal if you chose not to cook at home.“

“Husband and wife team run a wonderful small business. Food is so fresh, the place is spotless, and they are so warm and inviting.

We had spicy pork bimbimbap, dynamite roll, chicken ramen and salmon avocado roll. The Ginger dressing is homemade and so so delicious!!!!“

“Delicious! Just had my first meal here. Beautiful decor, kind people, and really good food. Excited to go back!“

“My favorite restaurant in New Haven. It's pricey but worth it. The Braised Pork Belly is AMAZING and literally falls apart with your chop sticks, that's how soft it is. I've literally had friends drink the sauce after eating that pork belly. It's so good

The curry with wagyu beef is also super tasty. Highly recommend. And their sake flights are really good too.“

“The sushi is very fresh, the staff and sushi chefs are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place, this was my 5th time here.“

“Rating is based solely on the grocery store as we did not try the wine bar yet. The grocery store is a little gem. Unique with a coffee bar, great selection of authentic japanese grocery items at fair prices. Very clean and well organized. Friendly staff. We plan to go back soon and try out the rest of the place!“

“Went in for the first time hesitant but I’m so glad I did. Sushi was so fresh and delicious. So many options to choose from and the price is justified by the quality. There’s so many all you can easy buffets in CT by this one is by far the best I’ve experienced. Service was great, the staff were so friendly. The place is beautiful and well decorated. The place was packed busy but service was fast and efficient. No complaints at all“

“Great service, great quality sushi, strong yet delicious cocktails! I highly recommend Koi for all of the above! The sushi was super fresh and presented beautifully. I look forward to coming back here the next time I’m in town.“

“We ordered takeout for the 1st time. Delicious all around! Very impressed. Can’t wait to visit and eat in the restaurant soon!“

“I call this marvelous restaurant from time to time as I love the ambiance that is characterizes this place. The team is extraordianrillyremarkably loyal and experienced. The service is absolutely fast. Needless to say, the food they serve is good. I have been there many times and I was always delighted. The price is honest. I highly recommend this restaurant to to everybody.“

“The food is super tasty and the service is very nice.“

“Kama Sushi is our absolute favorite go-to sushi place. We've been coming here for at least five years and have NEVER been disappointed.
Normally we come with a group of 4 and always, always do the all you can eat menu. Its $26-28 a person and its delicious! Why go to another place where you can get a fraction of the amount of sushi and pay substantially more?
We have tried other all you can eat sushi places nearby and find Kama Sushi to be better. There are more choices, the fish is fresher, and the service is always good. Sometimes it can be slow when the place is crowded, but this is to be expected.
We really enjoy the Philadelphia (with cream cheese in the middle), the Alaska (with salmon), the Butterfly roll, and the Rainbow roll.
Of course, the fried oreos at the end are always awesome. Highly recommend!“

“SonoBana is by far the best Sushi here in CT. The absolute freshness ingredients at all times. The friendly staff goes over and beyond to make you feel welcome. We’ve been coming to SonoBana for years. High Recommend!!“

“This was the BEST noodle bar i've been to in sooo long!! Firstly the crab rangoon dip is to die for!!! A delicious twist in your classic crab Rangoon. I reccomend all the apps.

Next- our server Matt aka Freddy Faz Bear was a delight!! He was talking bout in it when we ordered the ramen and we dived right in
10/10
reccomend this place :)“

“My husband surprised me with a dinner gathering at Red Lotus. Immediately upon walking in we were greeted by two staff members and the owner Larry. Gary was our server who I must say was by far the best server we have ever had. Gary and Larry truly made us feel like we were the only ones there (they had a full house) the food was delicious we were a party of 8 and all had different plates none of us were disappointed with our food. The presentation of the plates were beautiful! Larry made sure to come to our table and assure we were satisfied with our food and service took time out to talk with us and build a relationship. Thank you Red Lotus from an amazing experience and phenomenal customer service.“

“The only thing to order here is the teriyaki chicken. It is simply the best food I have ever had in my life. The simpleness of veggies, rice, and chicken with mouth watering teriyaki sauce is making me drool right now. And it has been around for a very long time that my own father ate it when he was a kid. They treat everyone greatly and make it easy to talk to them and I am telling you right now, if you don’t get extra teriyaki sauce, you will regret it. Go to the mall and stroll to the food court and your eyes will spot the best food in America in my solid opinion.“

“Great food and service“

“Love, love, LOVE this place! They are always so fresh, fast and efficient. Whether I am ordering through DoorDash or any other app or directly within the store, they follow instructions and always make sure things are to your liking. The bento box portions are humongous too! You won’t regret ordering from here.“

“Pork fried rice and orange 🍊 chicken ,beef teryaki and its price right, excellent fresh hot The people that waited on me where so courteous with me and my Walker they bring it out to the car they held the door this place is really nice and atmosphere too So if you are disabled with a Walker or wheelchair it is a must go to Asian cuisine check it out“

“Ben is an amazing sushi chef! Friendly, creative, and like watching an artist! Enjoyed our sushi bar experience! Thank you!“

“Great fresh food, relaxed atmosphere and good value.“

“One of the Best Japanese Restaurants in Connecticut if you love Sushi and Sashimi. The Spider roll made with fried soft shell crab is to die for!! My wife had the Dinner Bento Box with the Bento Chicken and loved everything. The service was outstanding. The prices are very reasonable and the portions generous. The soup or salad that comes with the meal is very good. We go to the best rated restaurants in Connecticut and NY. and if they were to improve their ambiance/atmosphere which is a little plain and make the restaurant more romantic it would be a destination restaurant and one of the best anywhere.“

“i was placed a takeout order lunch specials,the price was inexpensive and the service was very nice ,i was so happy about that.will keep ordering with them.“

“My fiancé and I loyally order from here when we are craving Chinese food or sushi. Not only does the food always hit the spot, but their service is amazing. When I informed the woman working at the front of my gluten sensitivity, she took time to run through every ingredient and its contents and triple checked there would be no contamination (who knew imitation crab had gluten?). They took my sensitivity very seriously and I’m extremely grateful for that, as this service is rare.

Dietary restrictions: Very gluten-intolerant friendly“

“Always great, very good sushi and atmosphere is always good for any family of children.“

“Normally the service and food is phenomenal! I’ve been coming to Kumo for about 20 years now I’ve never had anything less than A plus service and meals before today. The drinks were forgotten and had to be asked for we didn’t receive them until we were finished with our appetizers. We were missing a place setting that also had to be requested a second time. The chef mistakenly started to cook seafood before the beef and poultry and we had a seafood allergy at our table. The food was poorly seasoned and poorly cooked. My shrimp were not clean they still had poop in them. Tonight was very disappointing!“
