34 Best Japanese Restaurants near Billerica

“Great Friendly staff and owner.“

“We live in Winchester, and we have ordered takeout at Umi Sushi twice now. The sushi, the entire order has been extremely fresh, well-packaged, and just delicious. Umi Sushi will be our 'go-to' going forward. The staff are all friendly and responsive. It's a home run for people who love fresh sushi and a local setting.“

“Started going to toraya when it was smaller. I would not say I know much about Japanese food, but I can say this is the restaurant I go to.

Fish are fresh.
Service is friendly and knowledgeable
Price is great
Presentation is pleasing

I know it is not easy to get a table even on weekdays. But it is worth it.

Parking: Typical Mass Ave Street parking expectation. If you don't mind 5min walk. You can find a spot“

“They have the best sushi & soups. One of the best sushi places I’ve been in the North Shore Area. It’s pretty private but my family goes every week and they treat customers like gold. The lobster salad is also amazing the food quality is truthfully great. 10/10 recommend!“

“Great sushi Great service“

“Delicious food and clean environment and friendly people here“

“We got 2 large platters (one hot and one raw) for 4 adults. WoW. That was a lot of food. The presentation was beautiful, one on a boat and the other on a bridge. The pieces were huge and very fresh. A lot of different combinations to try. The waitstaff was so nice. Highly recommend!“

“Went out to dinner here and it was everything I hoped it would be! The Takoyaki was amazing and the Tan Tan Udon and Spicy Niku was amazing, specifically the broth, so good on a cold night! The atmosphere was very chill and just had a great experience overall! Can't wait to be back!“

“We really enjoyed our time at Nobo! We were out shopping up in NH and wanted to stop en route home (Cambridge, MA). I looked online and found Nobo. We sat at the bar and chatted with the owner and asked him to surprise us with some rolls - he did not disappoint! We also met his wife; they are both very kind and run a good establishment. I never thought I’d say “hey honey, let’s drive up to Chelmsford for sushi” but I’m pretty sure I’ll be saying that again soon. We plan to come back and support this nice restaurant with kind owners, good food, good service, lovely atmosphere.“

“Absolutely amazing place!!! Been at least 6 times and it’s ALWAYS consistently amazing! The food is great. The staff is awesome, quick, and kind. Definitely great spot for sushi and a drink! Could not say better about this place! Try it out!!!“

“Take out food ready at the expected time. Everything was wonderful! Fresh ingredients, well presented, followed our allergy restrictions exactly as requested, and really friendly staff who remember us from pre-pandemic days. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent Poke bowls. Lots of options to choose from including diced mango and avocado is included! Great addition to the Burlington food scene.“

“Hands down THE MOST creative omakase I've ever been to. The chef literally takes imported fresh, authentic fish from Japan and pushes the boundaries with them in unthinkable yet genius ways.

Every piece he delivers is a masterpiece. He brilliantly hits different ratios of sweet/savory and intentionally incorporates variety in texture in literally everything he serves up. This man can COOK.

I would like to add that I have never been a fan of uni, but the chef changed my mind on that real quick. That's crazy. It was actually one of my favorite pieces from the whole set.

I would also like to add that one of the courses was a plate of multiple slices of perfectly cooked, geniusly assembled wagyu. That blew my mind. It was the best form of wagyu I've ever had, and I was so glad we got a small plate of it instead of one slice. Each piece assimilated into my tongue and gave me a sample of heaven. Praise the Lord for that.

The meal tastefully ended with two dessert courses. Bravo. I love dessert. Both of them went NUTS. Both were the best desserts I've ever had at any omakase, but I personally loved the second to last the most. Think of like a rice crispy, but give it an Asian twist, then level it up and evolve it all the way like your favorite Pokémon. Seriously, I wish I had an elf in my brain taking notes on each dish for me because they were so unique that I couldn't even comprehend how to describe the flavors more concretely right now.

The establishment was clean, simple, yet very homey —like if you had an uncle who turned his kitchen into an omakase joint. The chef was so very kind and sweet. He was great at making conversation and making you feel seen on a more personal level, which is way more than I can say for most places. Mind you, although it was a 6 seater, he was still a one man team —and he executed everything perfectly in a timely manner amidst the friendly convo. Just impressive. A gem among gems and a MUST try. Please, somebody just give this man some Michelin stars already.“

“It’s cost more than standard Chinese take out, but well worth the treat once in a while“

“the food is always amazing they'll cook just about whatever you ask for at Costco but you really get what you pay for here. I've taken a handful of people here who would probably say the same thing! not to mention the staff is super friendly and if they're not too busy they'll hold a conversation with you.“

“This is my 3rd time here. My husband & his best friend use to go here almost regularly whenever
they got together. His friend has passed away. Our waitress asked how he was doing & very understanding and thoughtful herself when she found out. The place is happily decorated (they have a Christmas tree all decorated in the entrance for the joy it brings!!)Bell like music & 2 TVs with sports on. They are at least 2 sisters all 3 ladies recognized & greeted us. Food is excellent!!! We both had soup -hot & sour for me, wonton for him- fresh & tasty, wonton seem to be freshly made. I love seaweed salad- theirs is the only I have ever been srved w/out iceberg lettuce
'filler'!!. He had sweetened chicken fried rice & a spring roll, I had their tofu w.garlic sauce & white rice. Food was delicious. Hospitality genuine and sweet. Atmosphere unique and pleasant. Paid city parking and plenty of it. There's a small bar.Bathroom accom
modations are clean and spacious
We will be back often. They have been in business for awhile for clearly obvious reasons!!“

“Other than the cafeteria being full on weekends, this place is my favorite. They cook very well and ingredients are fresh. I order the bento and the level of detail is phenomenal. this is the tastiest food I've ever had and will always be coming here as long as I'm alive. The prices keep going up so I hope they calm down. The best time to come is during the week.“
