29 Best Japanese Restaurants in Baton Rouge

“Great service! Food is very good.“

“Love the susie choices and that they have all you can eat, but some of their menus containing steak and shrimp are overcooked. We had a great waitress….“

“Tried this place for the first time today. The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent. I ordered the chashu pork rice bowl and I’m already looking forward to my next trip to Baton Rouge so I can have it again!“

“Been going here for years. Love it! Our favourite sushi place. Recommend Baked Salmon appetizer, Lacy, Leo and Katsumoto rolls.“

“The ramen is top notch. This is not the first time I've wanted to just fill up on the broth without worrying about the solid ingredients which are delectable.“

“I really do not understand why more people have not found this place. The sushi is so good and the rolls are huge. We buy one per person and we are full. Maybe an app if we think we are hungrier than usually. Price seem to be about $14. A roll. About what I see in other places that have smaller rolls.“

“Brought an out of town guest, and while they do not do omakase on the weekend, Chef was kind enough to do it for us! One of the best meals I’ve ever had in Baton Rouge!! Even better we sat at the sushi bar & could watch as each course come together! 👍👍“

“we love the food here!! we order at least 3 times a month 😅 sushi is always fresh, the hibachi meals are big enough to feed 2 people, & their prices are great! highly recommend ❤️“

“I dined in with my father and baby. We ordered #4 and #8. #4 was beef and chicken, and #8 was teriyaki eel. I'm always nervous about teriyaki because some places make it too salty. My chicken and beef were tender and delicious. My baby seemed to enjoy it, too. My dad enjoyed his eel! I don't know about other menu items, but what we ordered was a 10/10! We will return.“

“the beef and chicken hibachi plates. the food is amazing and the yum yum sauce! will definitely be back“

“Maybe I got the wrong dish. I will have to give them another shot. I did a to-go order and I was excited. The staff was friendly. I appreciated that.

Edit: 2 years later
We visited again. The food was very good. It was quick service. We plan to visit again.“

Also, great staff, and super clean. Will definitely be back! That’s for a pleasant experience Teriyaki Madness!!“

“Very clean and relaxed environment. Bar was very nice and the owners were more than helpful and treated us like family. 10/10 will be back here. Check out the seafood combo!!! Best crawfish iv ever had. Definitely worth stopping by and digging in.“

“Excellent clean restaurant with welcoming environment. Staff friendly and waitress was sweet and pretty. I had the lunch yellowfin tuna roll and steak hibachi with fried rice. The sushi was fresh made and delicious. The hibachi steak was cooked to perfection. I had it medium rare and loved it. It had grilled vegetables and fried rice. It was all flavorful and the rice was just right and not oily like many fried rices dishes at other places. I will have to come back to try more of the menu. Perhaps dinner time.“

“Five stars for you guys everything was fresh and delicious“

“I have been eating Tokyo Cafe for a very long time. It's actually the first place I tried sushi and hibachi. I still love their crunchy rolls. I got one yesterday and had to go back and get another because I ate it before I got out of the parking lot. Their crunchyrolls are different than everyone elses in fact every time I get a Crunchyroll from a different sushi place I order it like Tokyo Cafe's but it never comes out as good... They have asparagus, crunchy, and snow crab salad wrapped in seaweed and sticky rice with sesame seeds on the outside. I prefer to dip mine in eel sauce... They're very reasonably priced and the people that own and run it will treat you like family. I also love their fried rice and their Hawaiian roll... Actually, now that I think about it, I've never had a bad meal there.“

“Every single night I order the sashimi plate. Usually I do takeout. But I cannot describe how wonderful this plate of assorted fish can truly be after a long day of work. There are other great sushi restaurants throughout Baton Rouge. Ichiban and Tsuyama have certainly established themselves and a great places to go eat sushi. Then, there are those that are just places to get sushi and nothing more. They offered nothing in the way of culture or give anything in return other than to fill your stomach. I was skeptical about Hello sushi at first, considering the name is not my favorite. But let me tell you, you can tell how good a sushi restaurant is based on its freshness and texture and vibrant of its fish. The octopus and the white fish and the salmon and the roe are killer! Most sashimi dinners are filled with imitation crab sticks (none of which is found in this assortment). It’s a little bit embarrassing how often I eat this sashimi dinner but I always like to order a random roll to go with it. And they are very good — the crunchy and the Philly and the speciality rolls — in particular the sea dragon which is loaded with delicious fish. The Hello There roll and the treasure island roll both use imported shrimp and are very unique.
When I do eat my sashimi, I like to mix it up. Of course I’ll use the ever-popular mainstay soy sauce. But dipping the white fish and the octopus into warm garlic butter is so, so good.
Do not sleep on this place. Again, best sashimi plate of all of the BR great ones.“

“every time I have come here the food is delicious! get extra of the Yum Yum sauce, it’s worth it. friendly people, and great food! thank goodness for places open on NYE!! :)“

“Great service, wonderful food and a beautiful view.“

“I found my chicken fried rice to be too salty. However, that’s not going to stop me from going back and finding out if they have a low sodium option. The strong salt taste is my only complaint. The price was good and the amount of food was gracious.“

“Highly recommend this buffet. When my sister told us we were going to a buffet, I was doubtful. But everything we tried was very good. The server was quick to clear the table when we got up for more delicious entrees. The only suggestion I would say is to make sure all the dishes were clearly labeled. I have a food allergy so it's really nice not to have to always ask. But, yes, will make this a habit!“
