25 Best Japanese Restaurants in Alpharetta

“Hands down, the best sushi I've ever had. They incorporate truffle oil in some of their rolls and if you like truffle, you cannot go wrong. Very savory. I'd recommend the avocado balls, crunchy spicy tuna roll and the snow crab in miso soup. The truffle aioli salmon appetizer is another hit. The cocktails - Wow! Thai Me Up is a their version of a spicy margarita but they use some sort of oil and it is delicious! I'll be craving that drink for a long time. It's not cheap but if you're looking for a treat or have a special occasion, it's a full recommend from me! Thank you goes out to Kelly, our server, who steered us towards the fantastic dish selections.“

“The food is as delicious and unique as it is beautifully plated. Amazing experience!“

“Super great experience!! Love it here:)“

“We stopped in here on a whim... spontaneous night out. The place has japanese vibes inside and was quite comfortable. They appeared busy and our food still came out fast. Food..... was GREAT. Best fried rice we have ever had. We did the large sashimi platter, and some Nigiri blue fin Toro and wagyu A5. I see a bad review or two in the reviews.... not sure if they caught them on a bad night or something but, for us.... this was great. Added to our list we would consider becoming regulars.“

“Quality ingredients great staff. Still adheres to Saftey protocols.“

“Real Japanese - Peruvian fusion cuisine that can easily become a favorite spot.“

“We love getting takeout from SushiMing, consistently great quality & takes great 🤤“

“Hibachiman is the perfect lunch time antidote to save you from the monotony of warmed over pizza, Mexican combination lunches, or some variation of Epicurean sandwich.The owners aren't actually Japanese so don't get in a tizzy, but they are Koreans who seem to know what they're doing. Their portion sizes are quite generous and their prices pretty reasonable.The interior can only be affectionately described as.. scant functional so if you're looking for ambience, might I suggest take out and dining in at your own abode.“

“Spicy tuna poke bowl w/seaweed salad was excellent.“

“Went by for lunch today with a friend. I always order to-go from here, but decided to stop by. Their lunch Bento Boxes are so much food. Really enjoyed everything with the fried dumplings, California rolls, Miso Soup and my teriyaki steak. My friend got the Salmon Bento Box and was really delicious as well.Loved watching all the chefs here cooking all the onions and dishes. So much flavor all around, I will keep coming back for sure. Love having this place in the community :)“

“Simply the BEST Ramen Soup ever 😎“

“Visiting Sarku Japan is nothing short of an emotional experience, one that touches the soul with every bite. From the moment you walk past you’re greeted not just by the sizzling sounds. There’s something magical about the way they transform simple ingredients—tender shrimp, crisp vegetables, savory beef—into a symphony of flavors that dances on your tongue. The teriyaki meals, in particular, is nothing less than a revelation. The sauce is a perfect balance of flavors, coating each piece of meat in a glossy sheen that glistens under the light. The beef itself is incredibly juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection—every bite an explosion of flavor. The shrimp is another masterpiece. Plump, perfectly cooked shrimp with just the right amount of seasoning, paired with the fried rice that is delicate yet satisfying. The rice has a delightful smokiness, and every forkful feels like a comforting embrace. Sarku Japan is the medicine nay the cure to any sorrow or impairment. The workers although quite never fail to make me feel loved. Their mysterious presence aids the soul. Their smiles make me feel loved like a mother’s embrace. Sarku Japan you’ve done it again.“

“Wonderful experience, will do it again!!“

“Great home in the wall.This is one of my favorite places to eat. It’s a no nonsense, quick turnaround hibachi spot, cooking your order fresh. The portions are very solid, and to me they have the best hibachi sauce I’ve had in the area. It takes a dish from a 7 to 9. The price is competitive, but you get a solid meal.This place got me is goated“

“We have been here several times, and food and service have always been great. Our favorite dishes here are stir fried squid, beef short ribs, and seafood noodle soup. They serve great mixed rice in a clay pot and grilled mackerel as well. Very friendly service. Highly recommended for authenticity and excellent taste.“

“Brilliant Chef. Fish is off the charts. Toro and Chutoro are the real deal!!!! Simply the best Sushi around!“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“The sushi was so good, fresh, many tasty choices. Rolls were generous portion and reasonably priced. Very friendly service. I highly recommend!“

“Sushi was fresh and excellent quality. However, it was all accompanied with the same simple soy sauce. The Hibatchi Shrimp was over cooked and lacked flavor. Appetizers were ok. We spent $300 for three people. An ok experience but nothing exceptional.“

“Run by a hardworking couple servicing all. Amazing portions and pretty tasty food for a reasonable price. Deserves a visit for anyone combing through options for lunch or dinner.

Vegetarian options: Tofu teriyaki and bento box options available, as well as rolls“
