10 Best Japanese Restaurants near Winder

“First time coming here and we will 100% be coming back. First off the service. Our server was Kimmy and she was amazing. So friendly and so attentive. Such an amazing waitress. Secondly the atmosphere. Its a very comforting environment inside. Plenty of seating and space. And finally the food. We ordered the crab lagoons, tempura shrimp, hibachi steak and shrimp and the general tsos chicken. Everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. The lunch specials still provide a ton of food at an amazing price. 10/10 will be coming back.“

“Absolutely loved our experience at Toki! The hip, modern atmosphere immediately sets the tone, and the food more than lives up to it. We ordered the shrimp dumplings, sushi, and chicken hibachi—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. On top of that, the service was excellent: attentive, friendly, and timely without feeling rushed. Highly recommend for a great night out and a delicious meal!“

“Been eating here since about 2004-2005. I love this place. We no longer live in Winder, but we drive 30 minutes to get there. To me this is the best! My favorite place! ❤️😊“

“This restaurant has been loved by my family for years. They food always good and fresh. The serve is great.“

“I cannot live without sushi, so I eat it as often as I can afford. I never been here i actually for some reason and decided to have lunch solo as my family wasn't with me. I've eaten from so many local sushi places and they were lacking in things like atmosphere service and so far and I've only had the sweet shrimp, it is above part the best i'll let you know how it goes.“

“Great Sushi!!! I go to the Braselton location, I love their dinner fried rice. sashimi always tastes fresh and I have yet to go in and get bad service or an uncleaned restaurant.“

“Fresh sushi 🍣, vegetables are always delish & 5🌟 friendly service! Other than no scallops or mushrooms for hibachi plates, best food in Jefferson!“

“I have eaten here several times. I love to eat sushi and have been trying to find a great sit down Sushi and Hibachi restaurant. This place is very straightforward in its menu options and presentations for the various options are fresh, tasty and very filling to eat. There is not really much on the sushi side of the menu that is bad. If you do not like spicy food there are a few options I would avoid. Surprisingly their Wonton Soup is excellent and original in looks and taste. Definitely not your traditional Chinese restaurant take out tasting ones.

I have tried a couple of the Hibachi items they had and were cooked to my liking. For those they do not like raw sushi then you have a variety of options for the cooked seafood and meat options.

I would definitely take your time and try this place. I had many recommendations from family and friends to go here. I am really glad I listened and tried Umami Tavern. I will most definitely be coming back.“

“Had the Hibachi Chicken and Steak. Soooooooo good. I'll definitely be back! Thanks for a great dinner.“

“Ninja Steakhouse in Braselton is one of those rare spots that’s always reliable and always delicious. My wife’s go-to is the steak (sometimes she adds shrimp), and I stick to chicken with double fried rice—they put bacon in the rice, and it’s amazing. We usually double up on the ginger salads because they’re that good. Sushi is a great starter here when we’re in the mood. Service is top-notch, and we’re usually seated within 5–10 minutes even on weekend nights. Can’t recommend it enough!“
