11 Best Japanese Restaurants near Punta Gorda

“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.“

“My partner and I absolutely love Ichi Hibachi. We make an effort to come at least once a month because it is the one place in Punta Gorda that you can consistently get good service, good food, with a nice atmosphere to accompany those features. The owners are very kind and hard working which shows in the quality of their food and the cleanliness of the restaurant. I order the steak yakisoba with the steak cooked Med rare, and it comes out perfectly each time! My partner is vegetarian, and she has never had any residue or signs of cross contamination with meats. It is incredible to even be able to say that since this is an issue we have often when ordering vegetarian dishes elsewhere in town. I would recommend this establishment to anyone coming to the area, and I appreciate the diversity in food options that Ichi Hibachi offers our town.“

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

“The service from our server Delaney was great! She was very friendly and took great care of us. The pork gyozas were delicious as well as the garlic edamame. The Kiwami Special Roll was very good and we loved the Kiwami Tonkotsu Ramen as well! All of the food came out in a timely manner and the restaurant was very clean. Will definitely be coming back here again!“

“Tokyo has very good and fresh food. My second visit there was today at lunchtime. I ordered sushi because sashimi was not available on the lunch menu. Why, I don't understand. So I ate the fish and left the rice. I was reprimanded by the server that I couldn't do that!! Really!!! I still would have liked to order more sushi but did not because I did not want to eat all the rice. I don't like rice that much, that is why I just order sashimi. I still can't believe that I was reprimanded for not eating my rice. I felt like I was being treated like a little kid! I'm 67 years old! I don't have to eat my rice if I don't want to!😋“

“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!“

“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 went yesterday to celebrate my daughter's graduation we had a group of seven.

Our hibachi chef Peter was amazing.

The food was delicious.

We all had a great time.

We really enjoyed our gyoza and tempura appetizers.

Everything was good.

Again I want to mention how wonderful our hibachi chef Peter was.“

“I like how they cook right before your eyes. The service here is quick and the girls cook your meal to perfection. The teriyaki beef was tender and nice. I had their special with fried rice and mixed vegetables. This over the counter restaurant is very clean and located at the Port charlotte mall where there is a lot of parking. The portions are large and the food is delicious.“
