22 Best Japanese Restaurants near Wellington

“FRESH food, amazing staff. Service is great. And on opening day (lunch) .. you guys did amazing! Most certainly added to "my favorite places"“

“My friends and I visited Sushi Moto on Saturday, 6-6-26, and we had an excellent time. We shared several dishes, and everything was good to excellent, but I wanted to write about the Pacific Ocean Roll. The sushi chef created a masterful dish today. The fish was fresh and flavorful. The rice was sweet. The honey mustard perfectly complimented the sweetness of the ingredients. My mouth is salivating just thinking about it… Anyway, the reception was welcoming. The service was attentive. The atmosphere was calm and quiet. The prices were reasonable. There is a Pacific Ocean roll waiting for me in the future. Thank you for a perfect lunch.“

“What I like about Mochi Thai and Japanese Restaurant is having both Thai and Japanese food available in one place. It’s useful when I'm eating with someone who wants something different from what I’m craving, and I don't have to settle on just one type of cuisine. I've enjoyed the food I've had here, and the overall quality has been good. The service has also been pleasant during my visits, which adds to the experience. It's a restaurant I’d consider when I want a little variety without having to choose between two different places.“

“pleased with each take out“

“It’s a family ran business. Everybody is so nice and helpful. We always go there on a Friday night with 10 people unannounced. And they always make room for us somewhere. They’re just very nice. Their food is always so hot and so fresh we just love it. I would definitely recommend it to my best friends. 🤩“

“Great food and wonderful service. Mike the owner does a great job making sure every dish is fresh and delish ❤️“

“I'll post a review every time I eat here... It's just so good. The best green curry around. I also add friend snapper and it's always a huge piece.
The lunch comes with soup or salad. Their chicken soup smells so good every time, but I'm a sucker for their ginger dressing, so I opt for the salad endlessly.“

“I booked for a party of 24 and it wasn’t until i arrived that i learned that the tables only seat 20 and the other guests have to sit somewhere else. The food was great and so was the entertainment but our table only got 1 menu…for 20 people. My parents sat in a different table (because of the lack of space) and they didn’t even get a menu, but the guests that arrived AFTER them did, do with information what you will. I also don’t know if they just don’t own spoons but i asked for one and got a plastic spoon. Besides those inconveniences, the hibachi chefs were awesome and so was the food.“

“Best sushi in the area have tried others and Always return to sushi king“

“I can't believe I've never written a review! This is our hometown sushi spot! We come here all the time. The food is incredibly fresh, well priced and they always have something special on the menu. The atmosphere is not about fancy, its about family. You feel welcomed here, they miss you when you haven't been in a while. They know your names, they know you just got married, they ask how your mom's doing. I see a lot of take out being done here, so they do great business both in the restaurant and for to go orders. You never feel rushed, and it never feels too loud. We appreciate all the staff here, especially Pat, Laura and Cindy. We love it here!“

“Flame Hibachi Popped On My Algorithm 2Months Ago, Had To Check The Place Out Myself, When I Say Great Amount Of Food On A Budget. Great Place Nice Customer Service Just An Amazing Time Definitely Coming Back CERTIFIED✅ Come Try Out Yourself Don't Miss Out‼“

“buena atención y muy rápido me atendieron“

“Delicious food my husband and i love especially if you go durante the week“

“I've been to Cha Cha several times through the years. usually I reserve it for special events and everytime I go the food is always good and the staff is always polite. It's my usual go to for good Japanese food. I do want to set some expectations for anyone reading this, however. This is not a grandiose, 5 star elegant and fancy place and the menu is pretty decent and covers most anyones needs, but isn't quite the largest either. That is fine as what they have, is great! If you're looking for an upscale, overpriced bland food restaurant. This is not your place. There's major chains for that. If you're looking for genuinely good Japanese food, a cozy atmosphere, and an overall great place to get some Udon, have a Kirin and have a good time, than this is the place. Keep up the amazing work!“

“Thier special fresh green tea is phenomenal just like Japan! Come here for genuine green tea and sushi is better than most“

“Always great! The food is amazing!“

“We celebrated our kids' birthday here tonight and it was lovely. We did hibachi and it was great! It was a weekday during dinnertime and we didn't have a wait. The chef gave us a good show and he was funny. I love how he asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. Then he would remember and incorporate it into the show.

The servers took wonderful care of us. And they even brought ice cream out at the end and sang for the kids.

Hibachi is a fun way to celebrate a special occasion, or really, for any time. The food was good. If possible try to tip the chef. We'll be back next year if not before.“

“Amazing food, good price, GREAT service“

“First time at this location and it was just as delicious as the others. Love sushi Yama, definitely coming back.“
