4 Best Japanese Restaurants near Merritt Island

“My son and I ate here for lunch and he loved it. He’s been asking to go here for some time. He loves sushi and I knew he would enjoy it. Our waitress whose name was Faith, I believe, was also super sweet too. Nice little place and atmosphere and great food! We will definitely be back. He wants to try the whole menu.“

“Awesome food, great service and great atmosphere!“

“Wabi Sabi is truly a standout. Every visit is a reminder of how great food, thoughtful presentation, and warm service can come together to create something special. Their commitment to quality is clear in every dish — fresh ingredients, vibrant flavors, and a menu that balances creativity with tradition.

As someone who works closely with restaurants through Sanwa Food Group, I see firsthand who takes pride in what they serve. Wabi Sabi does just that. They treat their guests like family, and it shows in the care they put into both the dining experience and their business relationships.

If you're looking for consistently excellent food and a welcoming atmosphere, Wabi Sabi is a place you’ll keep coming back to.“

“Hibachi Buffet is a buffet with a good variety of items, tailoring to just about anyone who likes Chinese food. At the time of my visit, Hibachi was not an option but they did have the sushi bar open. The employees are friendly enough, and the atmosphere is above average.

Other than those positives, the water tasted like it was fresh out of the sink, the fountain Pepsi was flat and the food was just about average, with some select options shining above the others.

I would not expect to be blown away but it is about what you can expect from a run of the mill buffet, which isn't bad at all.“
