18 Best Japanese Restaurants in Duluth

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“I spent 38 dollars only because I was starving lol. Ate every last bit, complimented what I believe was the owner on how well food tasted. Rice was A+, salmon, eel, shrimp, all delicious. Ratio of crab to cucumber and avocado was great. Miso was the miso flavor I look for at other restaurants around but don't get. I got 2 calis, 2 spicy salmon, eel nigiri, salmon nigiri, shrimp nigiri and miso.“

“BEST KOREAN RESTAURANT! FIVE STARS ⭐ I had such a great experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was well-prepared, and the portions were generous. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I would definitely come back and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Korean food!“

“The food and service were incredible! They brought us out a few appetizers on the house and everything was amazing. Definitely will be back.“

“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!“

“The sushi here is so tasty and fresh. The presentation is beautiful. The decor gives a very homey and intimate feeling. The owners make you feel like a guest in their home. Great and friendly service.“

“If you’re craving authentic West Coast Seattle-style charbroiled teriyaki in Gwinnett, House Grill Teriyaki is a total hidden gem! The portion sizes are incredibly generous for the price, and everything tastes made-to-order fresh.
What to try:
Beef & Chicken Teriyaki Bowl / Combo Plate: Perfect grilled char, juicy meat, and their fresh in-house teriyaki sauce hits the exact right balance of sweet and savory without being overly thick.
Teriyaki Fries: A must-try twist—crispy fries topped with grilled protein, sauce, and cheese.
Sides: The gyoza is fried to a perfect crisp and pairs great with their steamed rice and veggies.“

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

“I love the chicken tenders! Best I ever had. The wings and hot dogs are also great. Wonderful service and clean restaurant.“

“Clean and friendly atmosphere. Very reasonably priced.“

“I'm almost sad to have to share this, as long as I'm the one that knows (and not all of you) I can still get a table! This. Is the real deal. Service is great, people are authentic, and most of your fish will be alive until seconds before they serve it, masterfully.“
