9 Best Japanese Restaurants near Waterbury

“Best food wver“

“This place is a 10/10 for a sushi lunch. My husband and I sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed martinis and shared 3 lunch entrees for around $50. Our chef and server were both attentive and friendly. The bar has good chill date vibes. There were some patrons having hibachi on the other side of the restaurant and it sounded like a good time.“

“Came from Maine, and had a great time, absolutely beautiful family, food and sushi were amazing, and the fried rice is to die for. Everything here seems fresh, and that’s amazing and unexpected. Amazing service and cheap for what we got. We will most likely be back tomorrow for takeout! Only thing is, it’s small but comfortable when you sit down. I hope this business thrives!“

Food is always amazing. One of their best rolls is smoked salmon avocado roll! Highly recommend.
Atmosphere is usually top tier. Very comfy vibe. Not too loud. Great place to catch up with friends you haven’t seen in a while.
They also have tons of special rolls that are amazing. Highly recommend if you’re ever curious or want to try something new
I’ve been going here for years & it never disappoints“

“I needed a small sushi platter for a get together with my friends. I didn't think.most of the guests would partake I'm the sushi so figured I'd be enjoying it by myself! I was wrong
Everyone ate, everyone enjoyed! The sushi was delicious! I called the night before to pick up the next afternoon. I prdered a platter that they said was for two. But you get quite a few rolls! It's a mix of cooked rolls and raw ones. I ordered a sweet potato roll on the side. You get soup or salad as well. So i got two salads. I paid over phone. I picked up and everything was ready for me. Packaged well, with little dishes for individual soy sauce dipping. The platter had ginger and Wasabi. It was a beautiful spread. Fresh and tasty. The interior was clean and bright. They have a Japanese menu and a Chinese menu. The lady that ha did it to me was so nice. She had settled my order already so I couldn't give a tip. So next time I'm up this way, I will certainly make up for that! What a great eatery.“

“I don't know why there are negative reviews of this place. The atmosphere isn't five star but it's definitely four compared to the dungeon that was here before. The people are very nice and the food is fabulous for a little hole in the wall. I think this place is a hidden gem.“

“We tried this hibachi for the first time with our daughter. The atmosphere is always fun, entertaining and silly with the throwing of food and egg cracking. Workers are helpful, and the food was fresh. It can get busy. The only negatives I’d say is for one we asked for medium well for our toddler and the steak was pretty raw. Also, the cooks a little pushy on those who kept saying no and didn’t want to take part.“

“Fantastic place for Chinese food. Fresh and full of flavor.“
