20 Best Japanese Restaurants near Walled Lake

“I’m Japanese, and I always enjoy dining here because the food is reasonably priced and offers an authentic Japanese taste.
Everytime I visit there, I'm satisfied.
The other day, I gave the chef a preserved bonsai as a token of appreciation for all his kindness.“

“The service, energy, and food are always excellent. It’s my boyfriend’s go-to spot when we’re craving comfort food for the last 2 years. Every staff member remembers us, and tonight the owner even surprised us with a free dessert because he remembered us. This is what a real, community-focused business looks like. Love this place!“

“This place is the gem of Novi. It doesn’t get any cheaper than this too. Unfortunate that you can’t sit in anymore and wish they were open for more hours, but staff are very sweet. If you love nigiri the salmon is incredible for $2. Udon is homey and just feels right.“

“Amazing!!! 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋“

“This is some of the best sushi in Metro Detroit, it’s our favorite sushi place and we go there almost weekly. The food is always delicious and the staff and service is phenomenal. I have never left this restaurant disappointed or hungry. If I could give this place more than five out of five stars, I would. 11/10 would recommend. Some of our favorite roles include, Caribbean roll, Cancun roll, rainbow roll, just the name a few examples they’re all delicious just order whatever suits your taste, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Great Authentic Japanese Sushi in Michigan.“

“The food is amazing and the staff is super friendly, my favorite restaurant in the area.“

“Tried Nagomi Japanese Restaurant for the first time and it was a nice experience! Since it was my first visit, it felt a little confusing to choose from the menu, especially because some vegetarian dishes were unavailable.But the dish I ordered turned out to be so good! The noodles were flavorful, perfectly cooked, and loaded with fresh vegetables. The taste was really satisfying and comforting.
Overall, I truly enjoyed the food and would love to visit again to try more options. Definitely recommended if you want to explore Japanese cuisine 😊🥰😍“

“0 out of 5 did not have a good experience it was a long piece of hair in my food and they only took 2 dollars off i was disgusted after eating the majority or my food couldn’t finish and the manager response is this isnt our hair the hair was longgggg and curly i have braids the waiter was really nice but the manager wasnt he even brought the plate back to the table with the hair“

“hard to get a person to answer the phone due to limited english but they’re very sweet workers and i don’t mind going in to order! i love the mabo chicken with udon but it is veeeery spicy! so i only get it on occasion! highly recommended their egg salad sandwich! it’s so good 😭“

“I saw mostly positive reviews and a few negative ones and I can say from my experience, the negative reviews are just crazy people who don't get it. Food was great, service was great, felt like I was back in Japan.

Only demerit I can think of is that it was a tad expensive. I guess that's my fault for eating so much food 😆. Additionally, I asked for a whiskey highball and it was $15.50!!! I hope they used Yamazaki 18 year! Nomihodai in Japan is the same price. Enjoy highballs if you have deep pockets!“

“So good. It's a place that's probably flying under the radar because of its unassuming exterior. The seafood was so fresh. 🥰“

“Simply the best. This is the best place to eat period.
Everything here is just like you get in Japan. I have had quite a bit of the menu and each item is delicious, served hot and fresh. There is nothing else like this around. Trust me. I only wish I could eat here every day.“

“Went there as a reward for my son. I don't care for sushi he loves it. When we were done eating, the sushi chef gave us a special roll. And it was amazing! I haven't had sushi that was that good. The kids loved it, too. We will be back. (Yam Yam and crazy horse in the pic.)“

“I was torn between a 3 and 4 star. I had a 7pm reservation and didnt get sat until 7:35 pm. I dont mind a brief wait, but that's unacceptable especially when told we will sit you shortly. It went from a 3 to 4 based on the Chef being super nice, and the waitress being nice. No 5 star because the protein portions are not worth the price. I have been to other hibachi restaurants that give way bigger portions for less price. I will probably come back on a day where they advertise specials because I think I saw one day of the week its supposed to be half off.“

“This is a family owned restaurant and our experience was wonderful. We were greeted and seated simultaneously and expeditiously. The young male server was very attentive and answered any and all our questions-and I had a lot of them. I also didn’t know the sushi role I got was uncooked, they were happy to replace it with something more satisfactory. It was my first time trying dumplings and OMG it was a 10/10!!!! I DEFINITELY will come again!!“

“First time. Food was fine. Atmosphere is issue. It’s basically a carry out place either some tables. Do it really lacks s any personality. Worst is that they have a doorbell so whenever someone goes or goes it rings. As in every ten seconds. Could not even chat it was so annoying and loud. I mean don’t you see the people come In. Lastly the five in business is an afterthought“

“i will update as i try the menu. (i dont use soy sauce)

green river roll 10/10 - salmon was very yummy and a little fatty. I liked it

California roll - 10/10 crunchy , yummy , classic

spicy tuna 6/10 - I love tuna but it was not very spicy or seasoned. I didnt taste much flavor“

“Umami is my favorite sushi place, I love getting pickup orders because they are always so fast and very nice there. The last time I went was the longest I had to wait, which was about 20 minutes. They're getting more popular, which they definitely deserve!“

“They have a drive-thru, which I found interesting for a sushi spot. We dined inside on a Saturday around 12:30 PM and were the only ones there—it seems to cater more to carry-out orders. That said, they offer some great lunch specials.
We started with the dumplings, which were fried perfectly. Then we split three rolls: the California roll was your standard classic, the fried chicken roll came in large, saucy bites, and the Salmon on the Rocks was a bit tricky to eat—the salmon didn’t stay on well.
Overall, it’s a good spot for quick, affordable sushi. I’m looking forward to trying the sushi bowl next time.“
