5 Best Japanese Restaurants near Brewer

“I'm a local and love Yoshi's not just for the food but the music it offers. I usually am there for the food, which is always delish. Some friends came to visit from NM and we ate at Yoshi's last nite. Our waitress, Shar, was fairly prompt to greet us (after about 5 mins) and ask for our drink orders. Came back with them fairly quickly. We ordered apps and sushi. Duck confit rolls (exceptional)!came out 1st followed by sushi. But surprisingly oddly our chili lime and garlic soy edamame didn't make it out before that. The came the Caesar salad, then Kobe beef skewers. We asked abiut the edamame orders from the bus boys/ppl who brought the food out since Shar was nowhere to be found and it took about another 15 mins to get one order of the edamame. Still no garlic soy edamame. Shar was in the area tending to newly seated customers (literally 2 steps away from us) and never came to check on us. We asked a food server to find her for us and she never came. My husband wanted another tuna roll but, again, not Shar. My friends had to ask the food servers for forks/knives and returned with an attitude. When Shar finally returned we asked for the check and told her the garlic soy edamame never came, that we had to ask the food servers since she wasn't around and let her know that my husband had wanted another roll but since she never come to check in us he didn't want it now. She apologized and removed the garlic soy edamame from our check. But with such crummy service she should've offered to take off on our or sushi orders as well. If I hadn't been a long time customer and didn't know this Yoshi's wait staff is usually on point, I wouldn't want to come back. But fortunately, this wait staff service issue was an anomaly. But, I would recommend that Yoshi's management reiterate that the customer experience should be excellent, not marginal, so customers feel good about dropping $300. Very disappointed wit the service we receive with our out of town guests last night.“

“Our chef was amazing. Our server I believe her name was Lily was fantastic. I had such a blast and the food was unbelievable“

“We tried M Thai on a date night and we couldn’t have chosen a better restaurant. We felt at home as soon as we walked through the door. We were seated quickly and given as much time as we needed to look over the menu. We ordered appetizers that were delicious. For our main courses we had duck pho and the crispy pad Thai, which was amazing. We didn’t order dessert but I’m sure it would’ve been great. This place is a must visit if you’re in Bangor.“

“Have been here numerous times and have never been disappointed. Favorite bites are the rock shrimp app and sexy jalapeños. Best roll so far is the mermaid roll, and absolutely love the tempera cheesecake and tempera ice cream. Everything is very fresh and delicious, and the private rooms make it such a cool experience.“

“Best sushi in the Bangor area! Served without any sort of political messages, unlike a certain MAGA establishment in Brewer.“
