10 Best Japanese Restaurants near Iowa City

“Beautiful presentation and flavors!“

“Luv Sumo Sushi! Great lunch and Happy Hour specials, delicious and beautiful sushi. Anthony and staff are so lovely. They brought my lunch out to the curb so I didn't have to park and walk with the broken foot!! So nice?“

“This is the best sushi I’ve had in Iowa. I’m normally in Des Moines but stopped out here recently. The waitress was great, and the flavor and freshness of the sushi was AMAZING! It’s also really affordable compared to other places that I’ve been. I’ll definitely be back.“

“They did a great job and made a great effort to make my nails beautiful!!“

“I live an hour away and I always look forward to going to this particular place every time I’m in that direction. I’ve had sushi in a lot of different places all over the United States and nothing holds a candle this place. Happy ell Maki and Manhattan roll are my favorite. And don’t forget the squid Otsunami salad!!“

“So glad we found this place! Don't skip the appetizer menu - I highly recommend an order of fried sesame balls, shrimp tempura, and crab rangoons. Delicious and satisfying! All of the entrees I've tried have been great. The hibachi steak, shrimp, and chicken have lots of good quality, flavorful meat that pair perfectly with the garlic fried rice. I've always ordered takeout from their website and never had a problem with an order.“

“The food served at Sarku Japan in the Coral Ridge Mall is always hot, fresh, and delicious. In my opinion, the serving size is generous. My daughter and I often just add the extra chicken option and share a single teriyaki chicken meal between us. Their prices are certainly higher than they used to be, but so is every other restaurant in the mall and everywhere else. In my opinion, their prices are fair given the quality and quantity of food that they provide.“

“Great food , friendly staff , excellent service“

“Love their food! However, live an hour away and drove all the way on a Sunday because their hours say they are open and got there and they were closed. Need to update current hours.“

“All the sushi was amazing!!“
