50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Norcross

“It's good amount of food. You get a paper and you order what you like. I have a lot of big respect for local restaurant and small business because it's not easy out there. For our experience, service was nice. Sushi and hibachi rice, wings were okay. They need more seasoning. The hibachi meat need to be cook better; Sushi needs to have more flavor. Just work on it and may your business last long.“

“love this place, food is great kevin and Danny are the nicest guys.“

“Ever since my daughter took me to Hibachi Grille, I keep wanting to go back. The food is delicious and the staff are all nice and professional. The best place for Asian food in Georgia. I advise for every one to at least tey this place once and I can promise you is that u wont be disappointed“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“Exceptional service, delicious food and fun atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I love coming here to Volcano! I would recommend you guys go and try ! 50% off sushi Monday’s and Augustine has the best customer service!“

“Japanese with a Korean flair. Great prices + great quality + _extremely_ great service. Surprisingly, they’ve been a “near-kept secret” in Atlanta for nearly 50 years. (Since 1970?)We’ve been eating here & picking up more-and-more regularly for only the past 3 years.“

“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!“

“Big “Thank you” to Dave (Manager) for his generosity in donating gift cards to Girl Scout Troop # 19799 at Dolvin Elementary in John’s Creek GA. This group is working to achieve their Bronze Service Award by collecting toiletries and birthday supplies for charity. This is one of the many reasons why we love our local Mellow Mushroom and appreciate their support in the community.“

“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.“

“I love this place! Such a diverse menu and delicious flavors.“

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

“Viral Japanese Carbonara Udon in Metro Atlanta

Why fly to Japan to wait 3 hours in line for udon carbonara when we have it in Metro Atlanta ?
Udon Shin Shibuya or Menchirashi Harajuku doesn't have anything on this spot IYKYK.

Hands down best udon and tempura in the Atlanta area.

I see why ya'll are keeping this place a secret, Atlanta...

All of the noodles are perfectly toothsome and never too startchy at this must-try. Definitely in the top 3 best noodles in Metro Atlanta.

The tempura at this shop is by far my favorite in the area. Light, crispy, and never too oily. Using the freshest Japanese style ingredients, like; okra オクラ , kabocha カボチャ , and shiitake 椎茸 .

The unassuming cafe setup, kind Japanese staff, and SHOCKINGLY LOW PRICES are why I would consider this noodle shop massively underrated.

Do yourself a favor and eat here.

As someone that visits Japan annually just to create food content, I could not recommend this local spot for an authentic Japan experience.

1 うどんカルボナーラ Udon Carbonara $15
2 Purple Kari Kari Gyoza $5 Lacey gyoza
3 天ぷら Assorted Tempura $7 includes fried shrimp
4 稲庭うどん Inaniwa Udon $8 - Thinner, flatter udon. Amazing slippery texture.
5 Circle Q Cucumber pickles with ume ( plum ) fragrance.“

“Every piece of sushi they have is so fresh and the specialty pieces are absolutely exquisite. 10/10 can’t recommend this place enough“

“Great ramen, hospitable staff, and great time. Will definitely come back again. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.“

“By far the best Japanese restaurant I've been to in Atlanta. Even compared to restaurants in Japan, Tokyo Shokudo would still be one of the best. Starting with appetizers, the skewers were amazing, the yakitori and shiitake mushrooms were some of the best I've ever had. For the entree, we ordered the Take Chirashi Don, and the sashimi was all incredibly fresh and high quality, with the rice and other assortments perfectly complimenting the fish. A vegetarian in our party ordered the agedashi tofu, and although I wasn't expecting much, the dish turned out to be a surprising favorite. The sauce is light yet fragrant and was absorbed into the tofu, giving it a very complex umami flavor. Would highly recommend going out of your way to visit.“

“We got takoyaki, a Malaysian seafood fried rice, and a salmon combo. Everything was fantastic. I love sushi and these were the thickest cut pieces of salmon I’ve ever gotten. We were surprised to see the fried rice had scallops and lobster. And, overall the prices were comparable (and often cheaper) than other sushi places I’ve been to. I’m so excited to go back!“

“It was so delicious~
spicy TONKOTSU ramen ,
SHOYU ramen,
,Bulgogi curry rice
, fried shrimp
It was delicious
I was very satisfied with the texture and taste.
The meat on top is grilled too well.
It was so nice to eat ripe ramen, green onions,
and bean sprouts together.
It is a ramen restaurant located in a food court,
so there are open seats.
When several people came, it seemed good to
share this and that.“

“The food exceeded expectations. The nigiri and shashimi slices were thicker than other places, fresh, and tender. Service was great as well.“

“Worth the drive. I’d be a regular if I were closer. I’m part Japanese, from Hawaii, and picky, and they absolutely delivered. Excellent service, low key vibe, and quality that beats the overpriced, trendy places in Atlanta. Highly recommend. Two bottles of chilled saki and multiple orders. Two people under $200.“

“If you're searching for a taste of Japan this place has the best authentic Tonkatsu meal set we have had in the USA! That lovely crunch and thick tender loin taste! The ramen was amazing as well. Perfect jammy eggs and broth. We will be back again. And try their matcha dessert milk its delicious“

“Food and serve were spectacular! We for a kiddos birthday that loves sushi, but he ended up more at the hot bar! 100% recommend!“

“Food is 🔥🔥. I highly recommend the house fried rice & Wings 👍🏾“

“I went to Georgia business trip few days, I was disappointed in every restaurant but I found Soul Food. As expected from the reviews, it was fresh and the sauce was especially delicious!! The staff were very friendly and it was clean. Of course I would give it five stars, but I also want to give it ten stars!! I highly recommend Inoko!!!!😄“

“Great service, hot seasoned food, very impressive. Sushi was great! Hibachi was great! Salt and pepper shrimp great!“

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

“This place is delicious, affordable and our new favorite. We love the hibachi and everything you get with it (salad, soup, grilled veggies, chicken, rice and an egg roll). The sauces are so yummy and everything is always perfectly cooked. The staff is so friendly and accommodating as well. We are so happy we tried this little gem.“

“Sitting in the car writing this review immediately after dinner, which is something I’ve never done so quickly. This place is a GEM. The impeccable/kind service, the quality of the food, and the inventiveness of the dishes (the salts/sauces used) blew my mind. I’ve had omakase in a hole in the wall in Kyoto that this truly rivaled. They are doing something so special here and I can’t WAIT to go back!

Highlights: The Yuzu Ginger margarita, On Your Mark old fashioned, O-Toro, and Hotate Aburi were instant favorites.“

“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.“

“Went to this place in Doraville, GA called Yebisuya where I had Omurice for the first time along with a Yebisuya Bun that I also got and tried for the first time. Omurice: although this wasn't the Omurice I was expecting this was definitely still a very delicious version. Underneath is a bed of fried rice that was just so good with an omelet layered on top of it. They give you 3 sauce choices Spicy Kewpie Mayo, Ketchup, and Tonkatsu sauce. I chose the spicy mayo which by the way wasn't spicy at all I could have ate a ton of that stuff with no problem and those that know me know I don't handle spice well lol. Yebisuya Bun: is basically a steamed bun with chicory, scallion, and I got it with Tonkatsu pork in it and yall when I tell yall I could have ate 10 of these bad boys. The bun was so soft and the filling was sooooo flavorful like you just have to try it. Go check these guys out the next time you're in Georgia or if you live in Georgia. 8.9/10 6035 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd, Doraville, GA 30360“

“If you want to learn/try Pusan people's genuine soul food, this is it. This place may not be the best ever 돼지국밥 place in my life, but this place absolutely gives me the same happiness that I had in the restaurants in Pusan S. Korea, my home town.“

“Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The sins city roll was delicious and the uno mas was incredible as well. The nigiri set was very impressive and well received. Lovely atmosphere and service also. So nice to have an upscale sushi option close by.“

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

“Gentleman at the counter was very friendly and the sushi was good, but I ordered habachi rice- in the picture it looked like it was fried rice (with egg and veggies), but I got it and it was only rice and soy sauce. Also, I ordered four Miso soups (because my hubby just had surgery and is on a liquid only diet and it’s what he was craving), but all of the containers were only half full when I got home. We were both pretty disappointed :(

I ended up having to essentially recook the rice at home by adding egg and veggies I was expecting.

**update: after posting this review the manager reached out personally and offered to give me soup to make up for the small portion- what amazing customer service! I’m very impressed**“

“I came all the way from South Carolina, and this place has the best sushi I’ve had! 🍣 The quality of the food and the service were both amazing. Everything was so fresh and full of flavor.
I absolutely loved it!
Highly recommend! 🌟👏“

“Omakase? More like Omaorgasm because that’s what it sounded like every time 8 adults was given the next course or dish. Every time we took a bite of whatever Yun gave us we closed our eyes and sat back in our chairs and started moaning. Hell I don’t think I’ve heard my wife moan that much before but then again I don’t think I’ve moan that much either. Needless to say we can’t wait to come back and try it again and again and again...Mmmmmmm oooooooooo mmmmmmm lol“

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

“Simply the BEST Ramen Soup ever 😎“

“I love the Yuzu sushi in Brookhaven/ Chamblee. The ambiance is nice. As an architect I love seeing the Japanese style in the interior design of this place. The food is great, and the staff are friendly with an amazing memory! They remembered us in the second visit!“

“Wow! The new management/owners of Wasabi have made great changes. The food (especially the sushi) is delicious - everything was fresh and presented in a lovely way. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The staff is efficient and the service is fast. We stopped in for a quick dinner and it was delicious and fast. It's still a great place for a relaxed dining experience, but the new team is really firing on all cylinders. Our server, Alex, was great. Highly recommend for a relaxed dining experience or a quick delicious dinner.“

“Good food come here often for lunch but you guys keep raising prices. Will no longer be able to frequent as much. Lunch menu is needed for SF employees. Disappointed the discount was taken away but the constant price increase isn’t feasible anymore. Good food and customer service tho“

“I come here for donkatsu (pork cutlet) once a week, and they've never steered me wrong. For the price, the cutlet is so good, the sauce is amazing. The service has also been great, but probably helped that they ended up knowing my name because I came so often LOL.“

“Hidden gem with delicious food located inside a semi-abandoned mall. Whenever I’m in town for work, I stay nearby and often pick up their buffet style take-out for supper. The mixed vegetables are my favorite and the various chicken options I’ve had have always been tasty. I usually get the 1 meat + 2 side combo with an additional side and have enough food for at least 2 meals. The food is served hot and always tastes fresh during the times I’ve visited, usually weekdays after work or during lunchtime. All the staff is polite and personable and the older well-dressed lady is always so sweet and complimentary, even with a slight language barrier.

Because there is almost nothing else on that back side of the mall, there is no traffic and plenty of close parking so I am in and out in 5 minutes.

Why eat ultra-processed fast food when you can have nice-sized portions of better food served quickly and for a good price while also supporting a small local business? Ignore the shady bando-looking mall surroundings and don’t miss out on Tokyo Express!

(Note: I always get the buffet to go so I cannot comment on ordering off the menu or doing a call-in order.)“

“I’ve been to a lot of katsu restaurants and Kisoya BY FAR has the best seasoned tonkastsu I’ve had. Also, tteokbokki is one of FAVORITE things to eat and Kisoya’s tteokbokki is fantastic! It even has little slices of peppers in it ! 😋😋😋 This is my new spot!“

“A must visit. You are missing out =)“

“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.“

“nothing short of awesome...food ..and service“

“Fantastic and understated. Their sushi is delicious , their tempura is great and tastes super clean, service is great. The rolls are like 2x the size of anything I’ve found around the area. Way over ordered and had leftovers for 2 days but loved it. The kids Bento box was a huge hit with my daughter, Gyoza and Miso soup were fantastic. All around they hit it out of the park for my family.“
