19 Best Japanese Restaurants near Wallingford

“Very excited and pleased to see this wonderful restaurant rebrand to be more seafood based. All of their product prior to the change was incredibly fresh, well prepared, and delicious. This continues into their new identity!!

Highly recommend!!

Only big recommendation for the establishment is to include more sauce in each order.. as a lover of seafood boils and a friend of many other boil lovers.. we know this is often the most expensive part of the endeavor but we LIVE for that juicy sauce!! ..

Thank you for the change and addition to route 5 strip!

Every seafood boil lover MUST try!“

“Was here recently on my PTO while staying in Wallingford! Everything was amazing start to finish! You will not be sorry if you eat here! I ate like a Queen! Highly recommend the Mango Delight, it was so amazing! Crab Rangoon was excellent, my Smoked Salmon Roll was wonderful, and the Pho. Let me talk about the Pho. The Beef Pho was so amazing! It was so comforting and wonderful. It felt like home to me. Such a wonderful soup. It does come with big portions so you may have to take it home. Great service and once again my compliments to the chefs and everyone there. If I’m ever in Wallingford again, I’ll be in again! ❤️❤️❤️“

“The staff is so sweet, the atmosphere is sophisticated for an AYCE, and the food is simply divine! I really prefer the airy and light peaceful interior here compared to other dingy and dark AYCE places. There’s nothing better than peacefully sipping hot green tea during lunchtime. Something small would be replacing the black window blinds with some nice light curtains. But high quality fresh sushi and sashimi should be the main focus“

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

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

“Very attentive staff! Ate the Nage Yuki Udon! Excellent soup! Teriyaki chicken has a lite sauce with rice. Very tasty. Maki rolls well made and fresh! If you live local or are visiting like us... give this restaurant a try!“

“I recommend everything! My first time there and my experience was out of this world! Incredible food amazing atmosphere and very friendly service. I wasn’t sure what I wanted so they recommended something based on what I told them I liked and they were correct about it! I highly recommend this might be the only sushi place I will go to from now on!! Thank you for such a great experience!“

“I've only ever gotten takeout, but the food has always been delicious. The crab rangoon are the best I've ever had - not too much extra wonton, and the wonton is light and crispy. They are very full, and come with a yummy sauce. I love their Kani salad and Middletown roll as well. Cashiers are always very friendly. I never have to wait long after putting in my order. If I ever eat in, I'll want to sit inside one of the booth areas, they look cozy. Highly recommend. ?“

“Fantastic food, friendly staff and cute dining area. Five stars!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Sit at the sushi bar for the best experience ever from amazing sushi masters! Kevin and his team are incredible!!!“

“Had an enjoyable time having dinner with friends. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The chef was engaging and funny. His preparation was a highlight of the dining experience. The atmosphere was nice and I noticed other patrons seemed to enjoy themselves as well. I would recommend Sakura Garden for a pleasant dining experience.“

“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“

“We’ve visited Sushi Palace twice now, and each time has been great! It’s actually the first place we ever tried all you can eat sushi, and we still think their quality is some of the best. They don’t overload the rice on the rolls, and the fish is always fresh. Prices are very reasonable, and there’s something for everyone on the menu. Definitely in our rotation of good all you can eat sushi spots!“
