23 Best Japanese Restaurants near Framingham

“I got takeout from here today and it was amazing. The prices are really reasonable for the quality you get. The fish was super fresh, cut perfectly, and tasted incredible. The miso soup was rich and flavorful - definitely the best I’ve had in a long time. I ordered the sushi dinner and couldn’t be happier with it. This is for sure going to be my new go-to spot for sushi!“

“Yama in Wellesley is one of those places that quietly steals your heart. Warm, family-friendly, and refreshingly unpretentious, it’s the kind of restaurant that makes you slow down, relax, and actually enjoy your meal.

First of all—bring your own wine. Not only is it welcomed, but they’ll open and serve it for you at no charge, which already feels like a small act of hospitality magic. 🍷

Now, the food: the Fire Dragon is a must—bold, flavorful, and just the right amount of exciting. The noodles are excellent, perfectly cooked, and comforting in that “I’ll be thinking about this tomorrow” kind of way.

One of the hidden charms of Yama is the seating at the back of the restaurant, where tables are carved into a cozy nook. It feels intimate and inviting, like you’ve discovered a secret corner meant only for those in the know. A perfect spot to linger, talk, laugh, and enjoy truly good food.

Yama is a hidden gem for locals, elegant without trying, fun without being loud, and consistently satisfying. A place you return to not just for the food, but for how it makes you feel—welcome, relaxed, and already planning your next visit. 💫“

“Great sushi, particularly liked the Around the World roll if you’re in to salmon tempura.“

“I love Takara in Medfield. The staff is wonderful. I eat here almost every week. Even during COVID, my family did take out weekly. This is my go-to restaurant. My wife takes me there as a reward!! The food is wonderful and well prepared. I think that I have tried almost everything on the menu over the years. My favorite meal is the spicy tuna avocado salad! The rest of my family enjoys the sushi, sashimi, and various maki rolls which I always help them finish. Korean inspired food is a nice twist on typical sushi. Great place with great service. Great bar and wines too!“

“Always a surprise when we go there, every dish is like an art piece. The only thing I would improve is the service.“

“Great experience and great food and staff!!“

“Now that Oga's is closed, Nori Sushi is our favorite sushi in the area. The presentation is beautiful and everything is fresh and tastes amazing. The torched yellowtail special (middle row with the tiny lime slices) was especially outstanding. The truffle toro roll (not pictured) is also amazing. I hope they do well and stay around-it’s an unexpected location at the mall.“

“Let's just say when it comes to Sushi... I'm hard to impress. This place however did just that! Hands down worth going to and experiencing! Thank you for the delightful food Crazy Stone!“

“Ordered takeout for the first time I was pleasantly surprised the food was hot and well prepared would definitely go back again. Next time try dining in looks clean and comfortable also the person I dealt with was very friendly and polite.“

“Ordered the Wonton Soup and it was delicious. Highly recommend this place.“

“When I go to buy sushi I want as much raw fish as I can get for the price, and in that metric this place blows every other place out of the water. The miso was mid, and the fish wasn't the best I've ever had, but I spent 7$ for a roll with a ton of fish good luck finding that anywhere else so I'll be back again and again“

“Great new addition to the Boston Post Rd neighborhood. AMAZING Pad Thai!!!! Other noodles dishes fabulous and the soups full. flavored...and STEAMING HOT! Huge portions. Great prices. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!“

“Sarku is a long standing chain of quick service Japanese food usually found within malls, as this location is found within the Natick Mall.

The food comes out efficiently, with little wait time for their best sellers as they have multiple staff operating and cooking the food.

The food is quite basic, but for the price it serves well to eat and enjoy. The Chicken Teriyaki sauce is quite good, and you can request extra sauce to be put on the rice or vegetables. They also serve sushi here, but the sushi was just pretty average.“

“Awesome experience last night! The manager Dan was so nice, attentive and was great with my daughter who was being a little diva! Food was fabulous as always!!!“

“Always loved the Sushi there, until yesterday when I got extra protein with my rolls in the form of a cock roach. Sorry Hanto you'll have to clean up your kitchen before I come back.“

“Ordered for delivery... order showed up early!!! Huge Plus....
The food... was excellent. I had the Spare Ribs which were authentic Chinese spare ribs and excellent. I also had the Mango Chicken with vegetables which was also fantastic. But yes...I was shocked... NO RICE.... also No fork or spoon.... that was disappointing. I wish I could have given 5 stars but its pricey... no rice and no utensils...4 stars but solid.“

“I love this place amazing bartenders food is amazing A must go“

“Food was delicious! Loved everything I tried!“

“Great food, great cocktails, friendly service. All the beef dishes are very tender. Avocado shrimp with macadamia nuts is a must try. I’ve never been disappointed by anything I ordered. Best hot and sour soup around, I have it every time I come here.“
