15 Best Japanese Restaurants in Duluth

“Went for lunch today and the food was amazing. Love their spicy tonkatsu ramen. A really creamy and delicious broth. Did ask for extra spice which delivered that kick of heat I was looking for. Really liked how their ramen egg was still runny as well.

So many options when it comes to sushi. Not a big fan of raw fish, and the waitress really helped making that decision. I chose the fat dragon roll and who would’ve thought cream cheese would go so well with the eel sauce.

Would highly recommend coming here, especially during lunch. Heard it could get busy during dinner time. Bless for such an amazing sushi place close to home!!“

“Loved our service by Agustina and Oskar! The food was okay but needed seasoning. It was very bland and the fried rice was dry.“

“We were looking for a good bite after midnight in Atlanta, which is virtually impossible, when we stumbled upon this place in Duluth. This place is a hidden mom and pop gem!

The lychee highballs were deliciously dangerous. The sushi was fresh and of good quality. Takoyaki and shrimp tempura hit my seafood craving. Beef skewers were so tender and juicy. And above all the staff is very welcoming attentive, and friendly. With it being open late, it truly holds the right to name itself an Izakaya.

Gochisousama deshita!“

“The food is always so fresh and the service is so quick! Have been coming here for years and it is without a doubt my favorite place to get some authentic Japanese food!“

“Great sushi! Love the chef. Always friendly and thoughtful.“

“My boyfriend and I came here for his birthday and we have nothing but good things to say! It’s run by a wife and husband and their daily hours are limited which allows for the food to be 10/10 also really recommended placing a reservation prior to going or else you might be turned away as they have only a limited amount of tables to also help the experience and be tended to in the best way. The sushi and sashimi is so fresh and delightful not in anyways fishy! We also had the beef skewer and that was also phenomenal! They knew we were celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday and brought out extra treats for us and made this experience 100 times better, if that’s even possible! We can’t wait to be back, we are already planning our next trip back!“

“A small self-service restaurant with great, authentic gukbap! Busan is famous for its gukbap, and this restaurant attempts to emulate that taste. I found the mixed pork soup quite delicious and comforting. It had a deep, rich broth that was so creamy. There was a good amount of sliced meat, too. The kimchi and radish tasted fresh and went wonderfully with the milky broth and rice. A simple meal that never disappoints!“

“My experience at J-One Hibachi Sushi was outstanding! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The hibachi was cooked to perfection, and the sushi was fresh and delicious with a great variety to choose from.

The staff was welcoming, attentive, and provided excellent customer service from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was inviting, and the chef made the hibachi experience fun and entertaining.

If you're looking for delicious Japanese cuisine, generous portions, and exceptional service, I highly recommend J-One Hibachi Sushi. I'll definitely be back!“

“Amazing food and friendly staff! I have visited twice and both times I've left full and happy.“

“My brother introduced me to this place a year ago and we come as a family atleast twice a month. I then introduced this place to my friends and we have made it an every Friday thing- this place is overly fantastic. I didn’t even like sushi prior to this place- now I crave coming here. Thank you!!!!!! We LOVE YOU ALL!“

“It was my first time there, the food, drinks and service was great, will definitely, can't wait to go back.“
