15 Best Japanese Restaurants in Fort Wayne

“This place is absolutely the best sushi place in Fort Wayne.. super authentic and fresh while other places in Fort Wayne can’t even compare… I challenge anyone who enjoys sushi to take the challenge!! Consistency and top quality bring me back again and again“

“Never a bad meal yet. Wife and I stopped for lunch one day and loved it. Took the kids and everyone enjoyed it. A little hard to get to, probably why it's never been busy. Don't forget your chocolates on the way out! They are good.“

“it genuinely does not get any better than this. fort wayne is undeniably lucky to have food this authentic“

“Easily one of the best lowkey spots in FW, they have a great variety of ingredients and toppings. I always get a bowl (usually with marinated salmon) and they pack it full. Everyone's oh so nice too! Highly recommend giving them a try. For people wary of what poke it even is, think of your favorite sushi roll and just deconstruct it, hope that helps!“

“My wife and I had an eye doctor appointment, and we decided to check out Shoccu, which was a couple doors down. The restaurant was clean with a simple yet, very appealing wood theme throughout. Our waitress was awesome, and the food was too. Shame on me, I did not take any pictures of our food, but I can tell you it was an appealing presentation. The sushi rolls were amazing. I plan to go back for another round and get some pics. If you happen to be close by, put Shocco on the to-do list because bold savory flavors, crispy textures, and a full belly await you. Oh, as per the waitress, REAL WASABI! BONUS!
ADDED PICS, BECAUSE WE WENT BACK FOR ROUND TWO. SOOO GOOD!“

“I have passed by this place a hundred times over the years and never thought anything of it. I recently moved to the area and wanted something out of the ordinary for dinner tonight because the kids were off doing their things. I got a spicy kani roll and a tempura asparagus roll. They were absolutely delicious. The taste, texture, sauce, and ingredients were all supreme. The best that I have had in years. The miso ramen was outstanding. It was the perfect combination of salt, sour, crunch, and slurp. We will definitely frequent more often.“

“the whole staff was awesome. our cook Mark was one of the nicest people I have met and is an awesome cook . thanks so much! 5 stars“

“Friendly staff and great food. The drinks were good too but the food.....yummy🥰☺“

“It was amazing my boyfriend love it“

“Koto is hands down one of my favorite spots in Fort Wayne! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a fun night out or a special occasion. The staff is always attentive, friendly, and makes you feel right at home.

The food is consistently amazing—everything is fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The sushi is top-notch with creative rolls and the perfect balance of flavors. If you’re not a sushi fan, the hibachi is equally fantastic—tender meats, flavorful rice, and perfectly cooked veggies.

We’ve celebrated birthdays here and also stopped in for casual dinners, and every visit has been a great experience. Highly recommend the volcano roll and the filet mignon hibachi!

If you’re looking for excellent food, great service, and a fun atmosphere, you can’t go wrong with Koto. Fort Wayne is lucky to have this gem!“

“Never disappoints. Friendly staff and the food is delicious. A hidden gem in Fort Wayne.“

“Located in Glenbrook Mall. I order the teriyaki chicken With double meat and double veggies and skip the rice for less carbs. They do have white rice, fried rice, and great noodles as a base, if you want. Cooked fresh on a grill in front of you. You can ask for extra sauce for no additional charge. I container makes 2 meals for me, sometimes 3.“

“Great atmosphere & fantastic food! The live music on Friday night was awesome. Highly recommend.“

“AMAZING RICE BOWLS!!!!!!!“
