31 Best Japanese Restaurants near Natick

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Food was delicious! Loved everything I tried!“

“Love the food but their delivery is getting worse and worse. If you order before 5 p.m. it is nice if it can be delivered by 6:30 pm (especially if that is the window they promised). Did all we can to keep this place open during the pandemic but may need to start looking elsewhere for our family's sushi fix. VERY disappointed about their service.“

“Great choice of sushi rolls along with a mix of Thai and Chinese food, I’ve tried the Thai red curry bowl with beef and was delicious..! Ramen bowls are great too and you will not go wrong with the sushi..! And the best part.. a large full bar to give it a kick..!“

“Underrated!!
Service is so friendly and communicates very well on ETA on food and expectations.
I got the shrimp stirfry udon and my wife got the crazy maki, both incredible.
The udon is fresh and flavorful, and has a generous amount of small shrimp throughout the dish, no tails!! A lot of similar places around here give you maybe 4-5 medium shrimp, tails on. This was perfect and exceeded expectations. I'm not sure why I can't find how to add the photo I took of it to my review, once I do I'll add it asap.
The crazy roll was perfectly wrapped and presented well even for a ToGo box, and was delicious as well.

Definitely regret not finding this place sooner. A new favorite for us ♡“

“Good options for meat, fish and veggies“

“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. 💫“

“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!“

“The best sushi!! Great quality super tasty 10/10 friendly staff I recommend!!!!!“

“The food was outstanding ,passion fruit margarita was as good as the food we ordered. The inside was very cozy and clean, our waiter was very polite , quick to attend and very professional. Great place to enjoy with friends and family , definitely coming back soon!“

“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!“
