39 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“

“So we went here for dinner. Food was good. Decent for sure. Wish they had egg rolls but that wasn't the deal breaker. Towards the end of our meal during a conversation between all at the table we got a horrific whiff of what smelled like a rotting carcus and sewage. It was so strong it literally made me sick to my stomach.“

“I googled “ramen in Shelton” and I’m not sure why this placed didn’t come right about because the ramen was absolutely delicious. I know they are known for sushi but Korean ramen was so flavorful, noodles were perfect. Got a side of kimchi and it was really good. They gave me a poached egg rather than boiled and I thought that was so unique one of my favorite parts, overall very good. 10/10!!!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. Will be back weekly.“

“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.“

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

“Stopped in for lunch and everything was delicious. The Bibimbap beef was amazing they made it spicy just how I like it. The bulgogi rice bowl was also really tasty, and the ramen was great too.

If you’re in Hamden and looking for good Japanese and Korean-style food, definitely swing by Donburiya Cafe and grab a bite. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“4.5 / 5.0 - I’d been to the Loop for Japanese groceries and sweets, but this was my first time trying their brunch, which they have on weekends, along with their lunch menu.

They have cafeteria style seating and you order and pick up your food at the counter. It’s quite spacious with large picnic tables and bar seating, but it was almost full when we went past noon yesterday.

It took time to order and get our food, so if you’re in a rush, it may be better to pick up pre-made lunches or sushi from the grocery store instead.

I tried the Open Tamago Sando, which was so delicious I will definitely have to order again. The noodles didn’t have much broth or toppings, so maybe not the best option if you’re looking for something that’s not mostly carbs.

They had outdoor seating, which will be nice once it’s warmer.“

“Came here with a family member and did the AYCE for $31.99. I ordered 3 sushi rolls, 3 appetizers, a salad, fried rice, and chicken katsu. I really enjoyed all my food and the staff were constantly checking in to see if there was anything I needed. The value for the price seems to be good if you are ordering a decent amount of dishes.

One thing to note is that they handed me another AYCE ordering sheet only after I finished the first round of food. Also, make sure to not over order as it seems that doing so can incur a charge if you don’t finish your food. However, I left a few small pieces of sushi but ate everything else and was not charged. This is a great spot if you’re hungry.“

“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.“

“This is by far a hidden gem! The food was delicious! The drinks were bomb. We made it for happy hour without realizing 2 for 1, can't go wrong. It was such a vibe. Paolma was super sweet and friendly. The staff was super attentive and the place is very clean. Don't be fooled by the outside go in you won't regret it!“

“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!“

“Our go-to Ramen restaurant.

One of my favorite Ramen/Asian restaurants around. I just found out that this place is a chain which surprises me. They always give me more of a locally owned store. Great servers. Amazing food. This place is definitely great for 90’s kids with their selection of music.

Everything I eat here is always so good. So flavorful. The mushroom dumplings are HIGHLY recommended.

Pro tip: get a side of their chili oil on the side with your food.

Service 10/10
Food 9.7/10“

“Great food and service“

“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.“

“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“

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

“The food was excellent. I ordered the teriyaki chicken with all vegetables plus additional vegetables. I ordered two one with shrimp I did not realize all vegetables was just cabbage and the additional stem vegetables was broccoli. They have a small order of sautéed vegetables realizing I should have ordered that instead and the second ordered had no shrimp. I ordered through grubhub because I was at work. I have eaten inside many times first time ordering through grubhub.“

“First time. Great service. Food was excellent. Wide variety of Japanese food. Hibachi steak annd shrimp withbv$white dipping sauce excellent. Companion had sushi and rolls. Fresh. Tasty. Price reasonable. Can be too noisy for q I iet conversation. . Kids love Hibachij chefs performance“

“The food and service were excellent! However, the plastic lids and coated paper boxes the food is served in does not work for me because it’s environmentally unsustainable. The amount of single-use plastics we go through for convenience is doing serious harm to the health of our planet and life on it. I think the food service industry (and customers) can do a lot to change that.

I would also love to see some wild caught fish that is certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)!

I had a few questions about this and the chef was very kind to stop and answer them! The sushi was delicious— thank you!“

“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.“

“Great for Individual Dinners or Hibachi! 😋“

“Had a great lunch today with our granddaughters. Everything we ordered was wonderful. The lunch specials for Japanese and Chinese options are excellent. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be back soon.“

“great food good drinks friendly staff“

“Fuji is honestly an amazing brand and they always make sure everything they create is super high quality. I was a little skeptical at first, but after using their stuff for a while, I can say it completely lived up to the hype. It is super easy to figure out how to use, and you can just tell that it is built to last a long time without breaking. Plus, everything runs incredibly smoothly and the whole experience has just been awesome. If you are thinking about trying them out, you should definitely just go for it because you definitely won't regret it.“

“Best Chinese food around and I’ve tried them all! They use white meat chicken and it’s always cooked perfectly. Big portions and reasonable prices.“

“Awesome , just wish they slowed it down a bit !“

“I went to a Teriyaki Madness restaurant in Handen for the first time yesterday and it was a great experience. The food was delicious, healthy and fresh, and the best part was the service. The attendants, Chelsea, Amaya and Jenaya were simply wonderful. They helped us choose the best deal and order, and they were extremely friendly throughout the whole process. My family and I loved it and we will definitely recommend it.“

“I messed up. I asked for my money back on the idea that I did not receive an order I clearly made correct but I thought was wrong. So I e had sushi in the past. This is not my first rodeo. Problem is I had regular sushi which were hand rolled which I thought meant the same as “hand roll”. My apologies and biggest mistake ever! So just so everyone understands: hand rolled which is not cut into small pieces and look like a mini gyro funnel but stuffed with rice veggies and seafood meat. Regular roll is with the sushi tool and log rolled and then cut into pieces. I will definitely give this place another try and forgive me for what happened! It was ultimately very delicious and very fresh food! Thank you so much!“

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