10 Best Japanese Restaurants near Watkinsville

“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!“

“I made a particularly specific to-do order for a friend. Even though it took me a while to get everything in order for everyones food, they were very patient and sweet! The one who took my order, Lilli I think their name is, went above and beyond! There was another server who put together my order as well but I didn't catch her name. Definitely coming back!“

“I absolutely love Ahi and have gone for years, but they went above and beyond this Sunday. I took a group of kids to eat at Ahi (over 20 people) and we were served quickly and kindly. They took our group with stride, which was very impressive. I would recommend them for their food regardless, but the kind and consistent service is commendable as well.“

“We loved this restaurant! The waiters were cool, food was delicious, ambiance was beautiful. Love that they sat us in a booth with beautiful amethyst quartz surrounding it- it's my birthstone. The kids ordered boba tea and got to keep the panda cups, an adorable souvenir. I ordered the beautiful bento box and my daughter was mesmerized and ready to trade meals. They have a great lunch special. Free parking with handicap spaces in the front and a large back lot.“

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

“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.“

“Chinese ownership, Japanese chef(s), highly rated in Athens many years & I agree. Been to Japan & fine 5* California Japanese restaurants & this matches them. Except for fresh seafood which Calif & other coastal locales excel in. Great for dates/birthdays/family celebrations.“

“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.“

“New menu items, “ Hibachi Grill Pork” and “Chashu ( Roasted Pork Fillet) Rice” were so good!!“

“Food was great! So many options. I was able to get full while eating gluten free- which is hard to do at a buffet. Huge amount of fruit options. White rice is in separate buffet. Prices were great. Service was great. Building was clean but it is a little older and the booths were a little worn out. Lighting was a little dark.“
