8 Best 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.“

“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!“

“Our daughter and I recently enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Osaka Japanese Hibachi in Destin, FL. The atmosphere and ambiance was beautiful and serene! We were greeted as we stepped through the door and seated in one of the smaller dining areas as we requested. Our server was very skilled and exceptionally kind. Our meals were probably some of the most delicious ever! The presentation of these meals were so beautiful, it made the entire experience so relaxing and enjoyable!
We had enjoyed the hibachi with family for our daughter’s birthday 2 years before. It was very entertaining and oh so delicious as well. We have happily recommended Osaka and will continue to do so!“

“One of the best sushi places my family and I have ever had. The owner, Andy's passion shines through in every small detail, and the food was absolutely incredible. From the appetizers to the sushi I was blown away. A truly one‑of‑a‑kind experience and this place is incredible! I'm not sure who would ever rate this restaurant any lower, but they must hate soft fluffy puppies. Sushimoto is absolutely amazing and I have nothing bad to say at all!“
