8 Best Japanese Restaurants near Blaine

“Hajime is our go-to restaurant in Blaine. We almost always go during happy hour with our kids (age 11). We order solely sushi from the happy hour menu for 4 people along with the Spicy Kani Salad and we usually spend about $100-$125 which generally includes a round or two of happy hour drinks. The service is always great, they usually know exactly what we want when we get there! Recommend for sushi or their hibachi menu - their fried rice and yum yum sauce is delicious!“

“I live in WV and come here 3-4 times per year for work. I have been doing this since 1994!

The first thing I ask when I walk in the door, “Is Johnny here?”

The food is good but the main reason I come here is because of Johnny. He’s a great guy and provides amazing service. He adds the personal touch.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Johnny for at least six years and hope to see him for many, many more.

Good sushi is everywhere. Great people are few and far between!“

“Love the food here- it’s my ‘treat yourself’ spot with solid ramen and great staff who are very helpful!“

“Great sushi and very friendly service! My girlfriend and I go out AT LEAST once a month for half off sushi after 7:30pm. Can't get enough

Update many years later, it's always a fun time going. Their order ahead on the website is really helpful during busy times! Great food and sushi as always! Never disappointed“

“I had the tako yaki and the sashimi variety platter with a tuna roll and everything was soooooo good! Definitely would recommend to anybody who likes sushi. Just beware because everything had a nugget of Wasabi in it. I love wasabi but if you're not expecting it, it can hit you and their wasabi is pretty potent. The waitress/bartender is super nice and we chatted for a bit about the strongest man competition on the screen and shared some laughs, she's very nice. 5/5, will definitely come again.“

“Great experience at Joy Kitchen! First time stopping in on Valentine’s- they were packed with takeouts and dine-in service still ran smoothly. Our food came out with no wait and was delicious. Staff were also friendly & attentive despite being busy.“

“Kenzi and her besti are the best servers I have had since precovid! Kenzi was varey friendly personable attentive and I really injoyed are conversation.How ever the Mens bathroom was descusting it smelled reely bad and needs some paint and reparirs along with a good deep cleaning.almost makes me woder what the kitchen is like? And if the emploeys wash there hands? However if i Owned the place i would give her a rasie and promation. People could learn alot from her and she will have a blessed futcher. Also the out side of the resterant could use some work but aging i want to thank kinzi for an unforgetable dinning experance that you do not find anymore.when i go back next time i want to hear about her raise and promotion and if not i will find here a beter job personaly becues she dezervise it“

“My family and I came here to enjoy the cuisine here. The price is affordable compared to other places. The dishes are okay, not too salty. But I don't like the sushi very much. Because the rice on the sushi portion is very big. The special thing here is a melted chocolate tower that my child really likes. In general, everything is okay.“
