7 Best Japanese Restaurants near Charlestown

“Classic Yamato restaurant if you have been to one before this is pretty much the same. Sushi is good and so is the food. Service is usually prompt and I haven't really had to wait very long. I love Yamato they pop up in smaller towns and give a variety to the regular fast food joints that you usually only would get in a small town. The building is an old Pizza Hut that I used to go to every weekend as a kid so even though it's not a Pizza Hut I still get all the feels and memories from my childhood.“

“I think 4 is perfect for this place… it seems to be family owned and the man with glasses who is the waiter was incredibly kind and helpful… it was clean and comfortable. The sushi is good, especially for Louisville… again a solid 4… prices were very reasonable and good sake choices. Seems like most people were getting takeout and eating inside it was easy to get a seat on a Friday night.“

“Tried out this resturant today on a whim. We were on google and came across this place. I looked at the reviews of both locations but came to this one because of the newest good consistent reviews. We were seated immediately and within 3 minutes ordered and recieved our drinks. With it being our first time the waitress was very patient and not pushy. We ordered some gyoza for an appetizer and it was so flavorful and the sauce was very good as well. Only thing i could wish for was that there were 6 instead of 4 in the order. For our main dishes I got the crunch roll and the spicy garlic ramen with char sui pork. The sushi was the best sushi i have had in a long time. Last time i had good sushi was back home in Hawaii in 2017. The ramen was very delicious as well. The broth was flavorful. The noodles were cooked to perfection. Wish i had both if the eggs instead of one half but that was fine. Only thing i would have done was ask for an extra egg and extra broth. The other thing we ordered was the hibachi combination of chicken and steak with fried rice. The meat was so tender and flavorful. We were also pleased with the yum yum sauce that we ordered a container to go which was $5. The atmosphere was calm with simple decor. We will definitely be back.“

“This place was amazing. I am so glad we stopped here to eat yesterday. The kimchi was the best I have ever had. My daughter wanted to try it for the first time and we both liked it. She ordered shabu pot and said it was very good. I ordered hunan tofu and it was delicious. We also split a sushi roll that was very good. Trinity tried the strawberry milk tea with boba.The man who waited on is was very nice, helpful, and just all around awesome. We will be back! I've been telling people since yesterday that they should go too.“

“Really good food and you get alot. I got so much I couldn't eat it all had to take it home with me. We set at one of the grills and watched them cook the food.Parking: Big parking lotKid-friendliness: Kids menu high chairs for smaller kidsWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair entrance“

“I had hoped the menu had also regular meals, but others than chicken fried rice, it's pretty much all sushi. We had the yum yum roll, it wasn't very firm, slices very uneven, but the flavor was good. We split a chicken fried rice and hubby also had miso soup. The service was good, was hard to get closed out so we could leave. I would come back if in the mood for sushi.“

“Not as great as my previous (pre-COVID) visit. However, the food was still good. Seemed a little short staffed.Vegetarian options: There are many sushi rolls that are vegetarian and you can order a vegetarian hibachi option as well. The soup & salad that come with the meal are very good and vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: If you are very clear about your restrictions, they can accommodate most issues. However, if anyone has life threatening seafood allergies, I would not eat there.Kid-friendliness: Kids would generally love the show the hibachi grill offers but the games can be scary and it would depend on how patient they are about getting their food.Wheelchair accessibility: The hibachi tables would be a little difficult for a wheeler chair but I’m sure they would accommodate to the best they could and still allow for other people to be able to get in/out of their seats.“
