Japanese Restaurants near Destin

“Great place with really good food and amazing staff. This place never gets old and is a favorite to eat at when in Destin. I can always find something new on the menu to try. Ali and Liezl are great too! They can always point you in the right direction if you don't know what to order. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting.“

“For the past six months, I've been ordering food from Rock n Roll Sushi once or twice a month. The food has been excellent every time. So, my compliments go to the chef. It's a bit more difficult with the waiters. There's a balance between professionalism and an open heart. Those with more experience don't try as hard to help or offer menu suggestions. And those with less experience are willing to learn everything and do their 100%. My special thanks to the two waitresses and the cook working the evening shift on September 16, 2025. That day, my order was slightly messed up by the system I used to order. The waiters figured out the situation and quickly began helping me. Even though it took a while, they tried their best to help with my online order. The young woman who initially put my order together was the first to respond, called management, and stayed there until the very end, helping with everything (I think she should get a bonus). The cook also quickly got his bearings and, despite the late hour and the mistake with the order, quickly recovered and did everything competently and accurately. I am very grateful to this team, as they went beyond their usual work and helped me. I am very grateful to them for this.“

“I was with a large group for dinner. I have been before, but the rest of our group had not, so I wanted them to sit right in front. The waitress I would rate a 1 star and didn’t answer their questions. But their cook was amazing and was very entertaining. Our side however, the cook only did the onion volcano. Not interactive at all.“

“Orange chicken was the best! So juicy and flavorful! Not bad sushi! Apple puff pie was amazing as well as the strawberry cake.
Crab Rangoon was dry and old I couldn’t bite it.
Service was ok but waiters were constantly staring and talking on foreign language to each other looking on us.“

“We are visiting the Ft Walton beach area for the first time. Soi Bistro came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Friendly staff and an enjoyable atmosphere. Will definitely go back to try more of their offerings. A must for sure“

“Best sushi and service in Destin! Great ambiance. Will recommend.“

“Finally got to try this spot — SOOO good.
Everything was so fresh! Fiancée who’s usually very particular about his sashimi/ nigiri loved his orders so much! We cleared our plates in no time.
The service was awesome! They were just happy to have us and honestly every customer.
We will definitely be coming back whenever we visit Destin! Please keep up the good work <3“

“Great food! Never disappointed! Wonderful service. Our favorite!“

“Always friendly and always delicious! Our whole family loves going to Sakura! ❤️😊“

“WOW. I am blown away. I used to be a regular before the remodel and when the old management owned the store, simply because I love sushi, and let me tell you…it was never a pleasant experience…between the workers, attitudes, waits, etc. Today was my first time back after the remodel and to my surprise, with new management. The staff was EXCEPTIONAL. Haley, my waitress, had the bubbliest personality and was SO happy to be there. The sushi chefs were phenomenal, friendly, and good at what they do. Tracey, the new manager of the location, took the time to speak with me and was extremely personable and kind. A complete 180 of the service I used to get. I will definitely be back, and 1000000% recommend. If you have ever had a bad experience in the past, for sure go back with the new management. You are in for a treat. Thanks Rock N Roll Sushi Destin!“
