38 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rochester Hills

“I came here with my family to try it for the first time, and it did not disappoint! Everything was SO good and SO fresh. The sashimi pieces were so big! I also appreciate that they have fresh uni, it was so good. Other places serve uni, but you can taste right away that it’s not fresh.

Atmosphere and service was great! It does take a while to get your food because there’s a limited number of people working, but we didn’t mind because it was well worth the wait! We will be back :)“

“This ramen place is quickly becoming one of our family favorites. The ramen is always cooked perfectly and we almost always get the extra katzu (pork, chicken, or fish) for $3.95. The rice dishes are great too -- we have tried the curry dons, katsu dons, and the spicy pork dons. My daughter also loves the snow katsu and the fried cheesecake. Service is amazing and owners and staff are so friendly.

Parking: Plenty of parking in the shopping plaza“

“Staff is friendly and attentive, Sushi rolls are good, the Alaskan egg drop soup was certainly not to our taste, sweeter than expected but still not bad. Spider roll and eel nigiri was good, minus a tad too much avocado for the roll. The Bulgolgi was decent, flavorful but not the greatest cut of meat. Service is really the gold star here.“

“I eat at many very good restaurants. However, very few bring me joy. Neko Sushi brings me joy from the people to the food. That is why I return regularly.“

“they were super fast and the waiters took time to assist several tables who were new to the menu and had no idea what anything was. the staff was all super friendly and accommodating!“

“My favorite restaurant. Period. Great food. Best sushi. Excellent service and very well priced.“

“I am absolutely outraged with the behavior of the owner today at SOHO. My family and I went to this restaurant after Saturday little league games. We had 5 adults, 5 children and 2 babies. We have been to this restaurant countless times as a family. Today, after sitting and looking an menus, ordering drinks, we were met by the manager that came to our table and said “I’m sorry our limit is 8 people”. Confused, we asked for clarity because again, we have been to this restaurant countless times with the SAME group and number of people. In fact, we have NEVER been to this restaurant with less people. I asked, “wait are you saying we can’t eat here today because of the number of people?“ THAT is how confused I seriously was. The manager then responded, “Yes, I’m so sorry”. I pointed out to him that we had been sitting, getting ready to order for quite some time. Moments before this, the waiter came to take our orders but had to leave to grab us extra napkins. He said that his waiter called him all the way from his home because he couldn’t “do it” - referring to asking us to leave. There were quite a few other staff members there. So if this was a rule, why didn’t any of them point it out to the “new person” or let us know right away Of their “party limit”.? Please know we went on a Saturday around 330pm and there was two other parties in the entire restaurant - totaling only 5 other people. To me, if I had a party that was a few people over my “limit” I would not kick them out one, but definitely not when my restaurant is close to empty and the party has already been sat. Because of my “new team members” error- as a manager, I would have continued to serve this party. I need to point out that NONE of us in our entire lives have ever been asked to leave ANYWHERE. We are a Christian family of Pastors and ministers. I say this to speak to our character. There was no behavior on our end, that warranted this. I also pointed out that the table we were sitting at was DESIGNED for more than 10 people. We didn’t come into the restaurant moving tables and chairs together, the table was already set up for 12 people to sit there. I asked the manager why we were sat and waited on For all this time to then be kicked out? He claimed that the person who was our waiter was new and didn’t know their 8 people limit rule. I pointed out the fact that the table we were sitting at was set up for 12 And asked why that is if they had a limit of 8? He then said with our number of kids - it is not safe for them in the restaurant because their establishment serves alcohol. So first it was because our party was more than 8 and then it turned into being an issue with the number of kids? There is absolutely no reason for this behavior. To me, the only thing that makes any sense is it being racially discriminatory. I strongly urge you to no longer go to this restaurant. Of course, we left with no issue because if we are not welcome or wanted because of race or any other invalid reason- we don’t want to eat at the restaurant anyways. But point of my review is to prevent this from happening to anyone else. we used to love this place and our entire family would come. never again, even with 2 people will I step foot in this establishment and I will strongly encourage everyone I know and everyone that’s reading this to do the same.“

“We booked these guys for a bachelorette party in Seaside and they were fantastic!! The food was delicious and they brought thoughtful touches like head sashes for all of us, a speaker and a fun playlist, and a special gift for the bride. It was a rainy night so we had to change the original plans for cooking outside; they helped us move furniture and rearrange everything to make sure the show would go on! I highly recommend Sunshine Hibachi catering, you won’t regret booking them for event.“

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

“I thought the place was good.
I got the royal chicken with eel roll combination box. The eel rolls were a bit lackluster (It had a tiny bit of eel) but the royal chicken was good. Came with an okay salad and rice.

I tried my friend's baked atlantic salmon roll and it was delicious.“

I've honestly been satisfied with everything I've tried but some of my favorites are the dragon roll, smokey and crispy, and the unaju.“

“Stopped in on a Wednesday around 5:45-6pm. Seated right away, the staff was really friendly. The sushi we ordered was the Christmas tree, rainbow, and I believe the rising sun? The last one I'm unsure on. They were all really good though! I would recommend all of them and I'm sure the rest of the menu is just as good.“

“Even though I live in Carmel, I always think of this place when I miss buljjamppong!!^^ Perhaps because of my mood, the bowl got bigger.
A friendly owner who welcomes my son who speaks Korean well (a middle school student who has been living in the U.S. for 1 year/obvious haha).
The tempura I ate before, I tried today ? It’s really delicious!! Even though it is close to closing time, it is crowded with customers. Every customer leaving has a happy expression on his face, just like the owner.“

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

“I came to Michigan from NC to have a mini vacation with friends. We made plans to come here and had been looking forward to it for months. IT WAS SO AMAZING. We had one of the original Cloud Cakes (dressed up with Nutella and berries) a key lime cheesecake, and a dulce de leche cheesecake. Everything was phenomenal. The staff were very sweet and patient, answering all of our questions. 5 stars all the way!“

“I recently dined at Sapporo and it was an exceptional experience!!!

The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented, but what truly stood out was the service. The owner was incredibly friendly, making sure each guest felt welcome and well taken care of. It’s rare to find such personal attention, and it made the meal feel special. The staff as a whole were attentive and efficient, enhancing the overall dining experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious sushi with outstanding, personalized service!“

“This is a winning spot in downtown Birmingham, the food is always fresh, the staff is friendly, and the menu is deep - I’ve gotten sushi and General Tao’s Chicken in the same order and enjoyed each just as much as the other. Will definitely return here - 5 star food and service.“

“It's always a beautiful experience“

“We had an amazing meal, drinks and experience at Zao Jun. We were planning on heading through the area and checked out their menu online and it looked amazing. Our server was actually the bartender Jeff who was pulling double duty and did it flawlessly and with laughter. We had amazing drinks....the crab rangoons and sauce were the best we ever tasted and so was the miso soup (got more to take home). And the veggie lo mein and short ribs bao buns were outstanding and perfectly portioned for my daughter and I to try (and still have lo mein to take home). Her and I already plan to go back and sit at the bar next time because Jeff seriously won us over with his personality as well as the food and atmosphere!!“
