16 Best Japanese Restaurants near Estero

“We had a great hibachi dinner here for my daughter’s birthday! Service was amazing and the chef was in a league of his own! If you stop in ask for Yvonne (waitress) and Lee (chef).“

“I've been coming to Mak's since they opened and it's the best sushi ever. I have know Billy and Kevin for 20 years they have done an amazing job with the restaurant and amazing atmosphere. Awesome sushi best chef's! never a bad meal!“

“I couldn't decide between the lunch sushi (pick 2 rolls or 3) and a hibachi plate (steak, but I'm sure they would all be good) and since they were both so reasonably priced, I got both. I am so glad I did. I was astounded how good the sushi was, in particular the spicy salmon. I also got a tuna avocado roll. They packed a lot of tuna in there, very big pieces (not too large to be cumbersome, just saying they weren't chintzy, definitely above average amount of tuna). The hibachi steak was so delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful, and also precut to nice bite sizes pieces leaving room for some veggies and/or rice in a forkful if you wanted. I really appreciate places that do that. The veggies were crisp and also flavorful. Very generous portions. If I wasn't sharing my sushi, I couldn't have ate it all and gone back to work (and I have a pretty large appetite). This meal hit the trifecta: reasonable cost, delicious, and abundant. Thank you Hinachi House!

...service was good as well“

“Great sushi and service, happy hour had great food and drink specials“

“Came in an hour before close. We were the only two people in the building. The service was top tier. Speedy seating, drinks, food, and checking on us. Food was excellent as always. Tuna empire is always my go-to order, highly recommend. No one can compete with these guys, all the employees help everyone in this building and it shows!“

“Absolutely wonderful! Overall lots of great options to pick from and delicious! Service was fast and sushi is really good. Personally loved the kimchi conch. The father of this family owned place is very kind and generous. This steak house is a great choice when visiting the area! Will eat here again!

Kid-friendliness: They had high chairs! Children are welcomed and appreciated as it’s family owned. No complaints!“

“Amazing food! Beautiful place“

“We have been coming here for years. Sometimes we are gone for long periods of time , but they never disappoint us. We had been gone a year, and today was exceptional. Got there right after they opened at 11 and everything was ready , hot , beautifully presented and delicious. Crab salad and pepper shrimp were my favorites. Could only try about half the sushi, but it was extremely fresh. Come here every time we are in town.“

“The best Tom Kha soup in all of south Florida is right here in Estero at Thai Udon Cafe. I've order Tom Kha at many other restaurants throughout south Florida and all others have disappointed until trying here. Service staff are amazing! Chefs are amazing! Every dish ever ordered here by myself and my family has been amazing! We have eaten in and ordered carry out and food has been consistently amazing!! I honestly do not have a single "con" to note about this humble gem of a cafe.“

“My family took me here for my birthday dinner last night. I don’t have a single bad thing to say about this place. Our server Michelle, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu (which was quite large in size) and honest when it came to her suggestions. She was patient with our large group and extremely down to earth. It was so good meeting her! The atmosphere of the place is very clean and sleek. The food is even better! The freshest quality sushi you can find around. Will be returning. :)“
