31 Best Japanese Restaurants in Louisville

“The spicy tuna and Buddha rolls were PERFECT, the employees truly seemed happy to help, and the warehouse food court atmosphere, along with a large cross section of customers, made for a unique and memorable meal.“

“Delicious. Try the garlic edamame. You’ll love it. I had the super white tuna and salmon sashimi. The fish was fresh and plentiful. My only regret: I’ve had carry out twice and both times food items were missing. The first time: sashimi. The second time: soup and salad. I’m going to give it another go.“

“Fire!!🍣🍱🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’d definitely recommend checking them out“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“good food. reasonable price“

“The service, sushi and sashimi were all five stars and first class!“

“Celebrated our big 2️⃣0️⃣year old last night! Amazing experience & food 😋 The sparkling cold sake was to die for along with their sushi & pot stickers. Such a neat place. 🍱 🍣“

“You can be as safe or adventurous as you want here. We had never tried sushi with beef, but it was a unanimous favorite (ditto crawfish). Other tuna/salmon plates pleased our group. Even my Moscow Mule's ginger was balanced, thank you John Taffer. Skip the gas station sushi and eat here instead. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Went for our first time last night and we loved it. The food was amazing and service was great! We will be returning!“

“Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the bartender. The waitress Britni was wonderful, attentive and courteous as was other staff at the restaurant. The food was fresh and tasted excellent. The only issue I had was with the bartender and his lack of customer service and professionalism. The bartender was very unorganized and the drinks were terrible. Overall great restaurant and I look forward to coming there again and sitting by the grill or the sushi ? station.“

“Today was my first time at Sapporo with my husband and the experience was phenomenal. We were helped by a handsome male Asian waiter, unfortunately I didn’t get his name but he was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and always had a warm smile. His recommendations were spot-on, especially since it was our first visit and we weren’t sure what to order. The sushi rolls were so fresh and the quality was excellent. Definitely will be back soon!“

“Love the service, food and atmosphere!“

“We’ve been going to Fuji since they opened over 20 years ago. The food, atmosphere, and service is always excellent!“

“This is my favorite hibachi place to eat. The food is amazing! However, they are so picky about seating at their hibachi grill. You pretty much have to have a reservation to sit at the grill otherwise they will turn you down from it. It’s super annoying bc it’s a hibachi restaurant, you should be able to sit at the grill especially if the restaurant is dead and no one is waiting for the grill. The customer service is not great, either.“

“Not only was this some of the best sushi my nephew and I had ever had, but the staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was amazing. Portions were huge and pricing was great. We will definitely eat here again when we head back to Louisville. 10/10“

“My husband and I tried it for the first time today for lunch. We loved it! The shrimp hibachi was fantastic. They had gobs of sushi roll selections, but we didn't have any today. Highly recommend! It would probably be a great place for date night. It is small and intimate. We will go back.“

“the food is amazing and very entertaining for the hibachi“

“Always a favorite place to eat at . Food is always delicious and service is great .“

“Great food and friendly service.“

“The food here is always so good, it’s very nice inside and the staff is great. Our favorite hibachi and sushi spot in Louisville.“

“One of my favorite places.“

“Love this place! Their food is always consistent and taste amazing. It’s my go to spot if I want to eat out or treat myself.“

“Highly recommended! Food, service & atmosphere 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼“

“Horrible food hard and they told me to bring it back in 12 hours once i got off wtf“

“Food is great. Only issue is they state open 4:30-10:00 pm. Not true. In last 6 weeks I have gone there several times between 9:20-9:45 for some late night Sushi (Not hibachi). They have been closed. I mentioned to owner about being closed before stated closing time, he simply said if not busy they close. I suggested he change the cloing time to 9:30 instead of 10:00pm. He dismissed the idea. I do understand if not busy closing early, but as often as it is happening, he needs to change closing time to 9:30pm to be consistent.
One time suggested he open for lunch, but he dismissed the idea. So if I want Sushi for lunch, I go to Shogun at Hurstbourne & Taylorsville Rd. They do close at 9:30pm!“

“Been here several times usuallyaround lunchtime. Love the Chicken teriyaki Bento box! You can customize it a lot and they don't seem to mind substitutions. I often get the salad as the starter, and sometimes substitute the edimame for 2nd egg roll. With the salad, two egg rolls, chicken, vegetables, and rice it's plenty of food! Cost is about $18 with drink. The staff is superb, always friendly and food comes out within 10 minutes.“

“I picked up sushi for my daughter and son-in-law after she gave birth to my granddaughter because she could now have it. They loved it! The staff was very friendly, service was excellent and fast and my baby girl was happy, so that's what mattered! Asian Pot is a small restaurant but they're amazing! Don't sleep on this place!“

“Delicious food is Awesome“

“I have ordered probably 50 times by this time. They would know. They are amazing. They are fast, they have messed up maybe 2 times, only forgetting drinks those times, but they offered to bring the drinks to me. They called to say they would be very late because they were backed up and they were very nice about it. They always treat me nice. They put in coffee news when I ask. I always get delivery. I will always order from here. Food is amazing, it's not for everyone, but if you don't like it, go somewhere else. This is my favorite delivery chinese restaurant.“

“Excellent food and service. But it used to be Chinese you'd pay 5 or 6 bucks and have enough food to eat later. 2 people and 2 drinks was 35.00. 40 with tip... That was for gen tso chicken and beef fried rice and vegetables and 2 egg rolls 1 canned coke and a strawberry tea bobba. Just crazy hope expensive every thing is these days. I don't know how this younger generation is making it.“

“Great staff. Very convenient, consistent. Checked on us often. Chef was amazing, food was wonderful.

Kid-friendliness: Chef examined well to our 8 yr okd how it works making and serving food, and how to clean up afterwards. Gave a great tip“
