7 Best Japanese Restaurants near Portage

“We have been regular customers of Fuji for over 15 years. The quality, service, and atmosphere is consistent every single time. The family that owns the establishment knows regulars and greets them warmly. We absolutely love sushi, we are kind of snobs, this is the only place to go in the region. No one else has anything on them for variety and consistent quality delivering. Thank you, Fuji!“

“This place was great. They made us feel like family and the food was fantastic. We got the chicken satay and crispy spring rolls and each came with homemade sauces that were delicious. The thai tea was one of the best I have ever had and the sushi (calumet roll, spicy tuna and the white dragon roll) was fresh. We ordered three rolls and it was served on a sushi boat which was a fun touch for my kids. The shrimp in the drunken noodles were huge and the dish was flavorful and authentic. We will definitely make a return visit.“

“We have traveled and been to MANY oriental restaurants. This place is an ABSOLUTE MUST. The staff is very accommodating and polite. They even asked me if my dish was exactly what I preferred down to the spice level and if it needed to be adjusted. My food was 10-10. Period. Service was 10-10. UNFOUND GEM! Very clean overall and I will also add, VERY RELAXING music.Easily could be in the BIG city.Do yourself a favor!Try TOKYO 8!“

“Came here at the recommendation of a good friend was definitely not disappointed. Its a smaller establishment so that was tough to deal with as far as anxiety goes, but we didnt have to wair long to be seated! Dexter aka Spicy White Tuna Roll was our server and he was efficient, friendly, and hilarious! I tried the Dragon Egg (what a masterpiece!) as well as the Autumn Lemon Roll (I LOVE lemon and was quite pleased). You get what you pay for here but it was an awesome sushi time!“

“Food is good but the ambiance could be better. I do appreciate that this place is open on Sundays and Mondays which is something that is lacking in Valpo. The lighting is harsh and is not inviting. There is also always a cart of dirty dishes near the bar. I'm not sure why this has to be there. I understand it is convenient for them, but it is a horrible look to have dirty dishes sitting in the middle of the restaurant right next to guest seating areas.“

“This was probably my best BC experience of all time so they get a 4 star for this one. Literally everything was cooked perfectly. I wish they would put more effort/flavor into their friend rice and lo mein or it would have totally been a 5 star experience. The fried fish and broiled fish were perfect and OMG the crayfish were HUGE and perfectly cooked. The next batch came out smaller so I felt lucky to have gotten the big ones. Usually they're small and overcooked and not worth the effort. If they were always as large as the ones I had I'd go more often just for those. The hibachi chef cooked my steaks(a dinner option) perfectly. The fried wings and crab Rangoon always hit the spot. Like I said..it's usually like a 3.5 star experience..you go just for a variety and to fill up..but this time was really freaking good.“
