10 Best Japanese Restaurants near Athens

“Love love love Ahi! My favorite restaurant in Athens since I first moved to Athens for college in 2019 ❤️ the food is so good and fresh, the owners are very kind, and the price is unbeatable! Everyone I’ve recommended to go here has loved it!“

“Sakura Hibachi is a good hibachi restaurant/the only hibachi table-side experience in Athens that I know of. In comparison to other Hibachi restaurants I've tried, it was just okay. Fried rice, soup, and salad were the best parts of my meal.

Steak was delicious, rice, soup, and salad as well. Executed perfectly.

Shrimp was overcooked, and veggies were served last? It was very expensive, almost $80 for just 2 of us for dinner (2 dinners, avocado sushi, 1 drink). Portion sizes for veggies and rice were a bit smaller than expected.“

“Wow, stopped in an got hibachi chicken and hibachi steak take out.Little bit of communication barrier but it was ok.Had a bout a 45 minute drive home, meal was still warm.Food was fantastic both were very tender, vegetables were cooked perfect.Will be back.“

“I love this place. They know me by name & what I eat. Never had a disappointing visit.“

“I’ve been coming to Inoko for years now! I love the chicken teriyaki with fried rice, and vegetables. I’ve seen a decrease in the portion size over the years, and the customer service has gone down dramatically, but I’m hoping it will get back to the way it used to be. They have recently remodeled the interior which is nice.“

“The lunch specials and 15th anniversary deal are amazing. Lots of great rice makes it very worth it. Service was amazing. They went out of their way to ask if the student discount applied to me. I will eat here all the time for the specials and service ?“

“There was a little bit of a wait (10-15 minutes) before they actually took our order but once they got our order it was at our table really quickly. The food was decent quality and absolutely delicious. The service was very friendly and courteous.“

“A nice buffet-style restaurant. They had several variations of chicken as well as beef, pork, and seafood. It was clean, and they did a very good job of keeping the buffet filled with food. The dinner buffet is priced higher than lunch because they add seafood to the buffet. Also has a sushi bar...“

“We have been twice in the last week and the food was amazing. Definitely one of the best filets I've had at a Japanese restaurant. One dinner meal is enough to feed 2-3 people!“

“Sushi One is an amazing restaurant and the party room is perfect! The owners really work with you and your budget and make everything look so incredibly beautiful and festive. The food and drinks were a huge hit and people stayed longer at the party because of the welcoming atmosphere and delicious food! I highly recommend not only the restaurant and its food but also the party room as an event site!“
