26 Best Japanese Restaurants in Alpharetta

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“Simply the BEST Ramen Soup ever 😎“

“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 was very fantastic and very tasteful and very well seasoned very great customer service. I really did enjoy the atmosphere and I’ve been going here since they opened I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I love the food 🍱“

“Wonderful experience, will do it again!!“

“Our family has mostly visited Jang Su Jang in Duluth, so this was our first time trying the Alpharetta location. When we used to go to the Duluth Jang Su Jang nearly ten years ago, it was mainly for comforting dishes like Soondoobu, something very affordable and casual.
The Alpharetta Jang Su Jang felt quite different. It’s located inside a hotel, and the atmosphere is much more upscale. Because of that, the prices are not cheap, and the overall vibe is more polished than what we were used to. It truly felt like a different version of Jang Su Jang.
The food was very good, and the service was also excellent. Everything was well prepared, and the staff was attentive. However, as Korean visitors coming from out of state, it felt a bit distant from the Korean community, which makes it less likely for us to return regularly.
That said, it’s definitely worth visiting at least once, especially if you’re looking for a more elegant Korean dining experience in Alpharetta.“

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

“They have THE best teriyaki chicken I’ve had. Been to other Japanese hibachi restaurants and they do not compare. Sarku’s chicken is so tender and more flavorful than any I’ve tasted. I always order the sauce at the end just before they close up your dinner box and get the vegetables which is sautéed cabbage. I just love it. I could eat it almost every day.“

“Hibachi Express has been my go-to hibachi takeout spot for over 10 years, and they never disappoint. The food is consistently excellent—fresh, flavorful, and cooked with the highest quality ingredients every single time. Their portions are generous, always hot and made to order, and you can truly taste the care that goes into every dish.

The yum-yum sauce is absolutely to die for—perfectly balanced, creamy, and the best I’ve ever had. It complements the hibachi chicken, steak, shrimp, and fried rice in a way that makes every bite memorable. What stands out most is the consistency: whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, the food always comes out with the same amazing flavor and quality.

The service is fast and efficient, making it easy to rely on them for both quick lunches and family dinners. After more than a decade of dining here, I can confidently say Hibachi Express is unmatched when it comes to flavor, consistency, and value. Truly the best hibachi takeout around.“

“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.“

“Great service and good food“

“Ponko alway has the best chicken. The spicy is my favorite and I love the salads. You can also get chicken wings, tacos, tofu and they also have vegan sandwiches and hot dogs. I love their specialty teas and desserts. The staff is always friendly and helpful. This is a great restaurant for families too!!!!“
