11 Best Japanese Restaurants near Port Charlotte

“Amazing sushi and hibachi, great with our son, friendly wait staff. We frequently visit Misaki and are always impressed“

“We love Fin Sushi! And we personally know the owners and they’re wonderful caring people! The sushi and hibachi here is A1!“

“All of us in Millennium Imaging Cochran just want to give a HUGE Shout out to EkiBen House on Cochran Blvd in PC!!! We always have multiple orders and they never disappoint! Portions are huge, food is hot, orders are always on point with no mistakes. Everything has our names on them for easy distribution. If you have never been, do yourself a HUGE favor and help support local business! You will be glad you did!“

“We go often and mostly the food is amazing but it depends on who makes it. Spider roll was great I tried a piece of someone else's so I ordered one but it was made completely different and not good. Service can be hit or miss. Once with a party of 6 our waitress came 3 times in 2 hours (which is the time limit). I have to say that Janelle is the best server there. Friendly, prompt and will explain options that no one else has ever mentioned. Definitely recommend you try it.“

“Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse is a fantastic dining destination that I have enjoyed for years. The food is always fresh and delicious, with an extensive menu that offers something for everyone. The hibachi grill experience is entertaining and the chefs are incredibly skilled, making each visit memorable.

The atmosphere at Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse is warm and inviting. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a delightful dining experience from start to finish. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is evident in every detail.

For an unforgettable meal and exceptional service, I highly recommend Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a great meal, they consistently deliver an outstanding experience.“

“A little pricey for mall food, but the fried rice was moist and tasty and the chicken tasted good. Veggies and chicken are made fresh The teriyaki flavor was ok. I give 3 stars to say this is average and decent, I would go here if I was craving Asian food in the mall, but I also wouldn’t go out of my way to go here either.“

“2 visits in, have enjoyed the :
Katsu Chicken - tender chix ,panko ,great sauce, yummy gyoza , yeah brother
Ahi Tuna Poke - difficult to eat slow, superb flavor profile
Chicken Soba - very nice chicken, noodles spot on, really enticing aroma and taste
Steak Hibachi - ton of food , great fried rice ( real ! fried rice )
Spring Rolls - crispy , great filling , killer dipping sauce
Edamame - warm firm edi's, perfect salting
Salmon Roll and
Yellow Tail Roll - delicious rolls, sweet ginger , all very fresh

The presentation, aromas and tastes says 'these folks take pride in their craft'
The quality and quantity being offered is an absolute fair deal.

A gentleman left a recent review mentioning price point and food quality.
Not a rant by any means my guy, your comments led us to try IKOI, THANK YOU“

“We found our new go to restaurant. I called today to ask for a take out order. My husband wasn’t feeling well today and said he really wanted a nice pork belly ramen bowl. I looked up where I could go to get this and this restaurant came up near me. I gave it a shot and called a take out order. The lady who answered was super helpful in helping me with my order since I wasn’t familiar with the menu and was very patient with me. When I got there to pick up, the staff was amazing and made the place feel so welcoming. They seemed really happy and made the whole place shine. They packaged everything really nicely. When I got home to drop my husbands off, he was very happy and it was exactly what he was wanting. I brought mine to work and put it together there since they packaged the broth separately. Was absolutely amazing! Totally made my Friday. I got the shrimp one since the lady I spoke with on the phone recommended it to me based on what I was looking for since I wasn’t familiar with the menu. Amazing recommendation. Will absolutely order from here again in the near future. Prices were really reasonable for how good it was.“

“I’m not just saying this because they’re my neighbors and I eat there once a week but the food is always fresh and hot.. it’s mostly self service but the service is still 10/10 even when they’re busy. After closing I have seen the owners scrubbing the tables, floors and walls etc. I can smell the food being cooked nightly and it always makes me crave it. A staple in Punta Gorda for me.“

“Okay, wow. For a small plaza sushi joint, this was phenomenal.
I ordered the Salmon Lover and Tuna Lover, and wow.
- The fish tasted very fresh,
- rice was perfect and fluffy.
- Poke bowls were amazing; they gave a generous amount of fish.

Will be coming here very often when I'm craving fast sushi.“

“We love their food, friendly people, quick serve and good price
We bought 2 Teriyaki Lunch Set, Shrimp and Chicken and also Lomein Chicken Noodle. Usually came for some lomein but this time we tried teriyaki lunch set. The teriyaki sets came with vegetables egg rolls, sushi, miso soup, rice, salad and ginger pickles... The teriyaki surprisingly tasted very good like the one I used to have in a local restaurant in Japan, the salads use original style ginger dressing and the miso soup has umami taste, hot and yummy.. highly recommended“
