23 Best Japanese Restaurants near Shelton

“Sushi 2020 is an absolute go to spot for me and my partner. It's a wonderful restaurant that is owned by a lovely couple who runs the entire place just by themselves! I am always floored with just how much warmth and kindness they treat us with, even on the busiest of days. Not only that, the food is made with great care and packed with tons of flavor! You can't go wrong with any of the menu items they have listed. Personally, I definitely recommend the mixed sashimi salad and Hoe-deopbap. If you're in the mood for something more warm, the Kimchi Sundu-Jigae just hits the spot. Highly recommend the Korean dumplings as well.

10/10. If you haven't visited this place, then I highly recommend that you give it a shot. I'm confident that you're going to be left with the same warm, fuzzy feeling I get after visiting Sushi 2020.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Tried this place for the first time last night. All of the food was delicious. The staff is very friendly. Prices are reasonable.“

“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.“

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

“Excelente comida y un servicio excepcional, el lugar es muy acogedor y el personal muy amable.“

“some of the best, freshest, Asian food I've had in a long time! A must try! the dynamite roll, szechuan dumplings, and duck fajitas...soooo good! Need dessert? Try the green tea ice cream tempura or the banana tempura!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“nice sushi and shashimi and roll varieties“
