33 Best Japanese Restaurants near Birmingham

“Some middle aged man pushed me into a TV there. very great service.. the man was rather hot.“

“Its just a small sushi shop with, you guessed it, sushi! I enjoyed the meal, it was simple. Gyoza, cancun rolls, spicy California, and lemonade. Its a cute little place. I went in the afternoon to eat. Not many people there. My overall dining experience was cozy with good food. I did eat by myself and paid almost 40$“

“I live behind Sushi King and still have never been, until last night!!! I got a poke bowl with yellowtail and tuna, rice, avocado, edamame, sesame, wasabi and ginger. $18 plus tip, HUGE portion. This will be my place and I am super stoked it's so close to my home❤️🍚🐟“

“Had an awesome experience there this evening with my family celebrating my son-in-law‘s birthday .The waitress was awesome. Food was delicious and the place was amazing . Love the bathrooms will return and recommend this to my friends.“

“The masses will talk about the so called “authentic” “hole in the wall” or “novelty” sushi restaurants. The ronin, the noble fish, the kura. These restaurants are for exactly that, the masses. The common folk. And, I hope it stays that way. The real purveyors of fine food and atmosphere know that the best sushi restaurant sits in a humble strip mall sandwiched between a pizza place and auto parts store. Take Sushi is the american melting pot’s version of Japanese izakaya. Intimate, friendly and humble with exceptional food that remains consistent for years. An evening trip to take sushi means you are often sitting shoulder to shoulder, it means dim lights, the faint sound of korean music, and of course, excellent food. The sushi is phenomenal, the hot dishes punch way above their class, and the soups worth a try if you are in the mood for something unique. The atmosphere feels unlike any other establishment in Michigan. It feels lived-in, cozy and authentic, there is little modern influence and that is a good thing. If Take Sushi is anything, it is comforting. This is evident by the near constant “How have you been?” between the staff and each patron who walks in. So if you’re looking for sushi and you haven’t tried Take, arrive hungry, with an empty stomach and open heart. And, if you decide it isn’t for you, that’s ok. There is a corporate mass-appeal sushi restaurant that should do the trick.“

“Ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and the quality was very good. But it wasnt spicy at all. My only issues were the brown rice that came with it was too small of a small portion and I needed more to go with the main dish. Extra rice was 6 bucks for another small bowl. I asked if they had Sriracha and they brought a small mini plate of it. I looked over the bill and they charged $1 for the Sriracha. Asked for a lil extra ginger and they added $2 for that. The server said there would be an extra charge for rice, but didnt mention anything extra for the ginger and Sriracha. I don't like being nickled and dimed for things that should be included, especially a sauce. Server was attentive and did a great job.“

“delicious and great presentation“

“The food is always good here, and I love the sushi selection. But not to mention the only buffet I know of that serves sake! I recommend trying this place at once.“

“Delicious food and good service. Friendly staff“

“first time there last night and it was amazing!“

“This place has the most authentic Japanese style feel I have ever been. The food, service, and presentation is the closest I've found to the experience I had in my last trip to Japan. With the soft spoken staff, to all the little sides they add to your meal, to the personal and homey inside, and to even the taste in music which seems like someone's personal playlist instead of stereotypical Japan music or modern pop songs. I love this place“

“This place is awesome! such friendly staff, food was beyond amazing and place was really clean! will definitely be back.“

“I’ve been trying a lot of different sushi spots around town, and as soon as I tried Bahdah, it was an instant favorite!“

“Great place, great owners and one of the best spots for sushi around...“

“Excellent sushi and they are super close by our new shop!“

“Great customer service and quick service. I had the curry rice bowl and my son had the spicy ramen noodles with chicken.“

“Been here a few times already but I love coming back with new people to try it. We got the classic cotton cake and the ube cotton cake. The ube is my favorite and the flavor blows me away every time. The cotton cakes are so light and fluffy. We got a cotton candy frappe and a cookies and cream frappe to go with the cotton cakes and those were a bit disappointing. They weren't really blended well and tasted like a melted vanilla ice cream with a hint of the flavor. Not frozen at all. They looked pretty though.
Side note to mention that the bathroom door button lock had fallen off and the employee helped me find it and put it back on but they are aware it needs to be fixed.
I plan on continuing to come back to this place as the cotton cakes never disappoint“

“Delicious food, reasonably priced, beautiful decor, friendly staff.“

“Our new favorite for sushi & Thai!! Great taste & portions for reasonable prices!! Highly recommend!!!!“

“First visit. Sushi was very fresh and delicious. Rolls were small by comparison to other places. Service was slow considering only a few customers when we arrived. Very reasonably priced. Quaint atmosphere. We would go again to try other choices based on the freshness of our order.“

“You may have a wait because the place is small however the authentic Japanese food is well worth it.“

“Awesome place for Karaoke 🎤! Definitely feels like going back to asia! And the staff is soo very friendly and nice! We had such a great time! Thank you soo much! 🫶🏻🤗💕🙌🏻“
