14 Best Japanese Restaurants near North Oaks

“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.“

“Vegetarians - The vegetarian apps were tasty. The Ramen can be made with vegetarian broth / stock (tell the server in advance!). The vegetarian noodles were pretty lackluster, dry and limited in flavor. The staff / owners are very friendly. The bubble tea was delicious. Overall a good stop in the area for a nice hang!“

“I don’t remember which dish my wife and I got but it was delicious. Service was great.👌“

“I needed a treat, and did I ever get one in my bag of takeout tonight from Midori’s Floating World Cafe (in their temporary Seward Cafe location). The dumplings, entrees, and dessert were exquisitely prepared, with flavorful sauces and broths. Glad I splurged on the Daifuku: it was a little work of edible art. This food woke all of my senses for spring. I’ll be back.“

“Excellent food and you can watch them make your meal! Staff are friendly and authentic! Love this place!“

“Frankie was great at recommending the right single malt!“

“Busy Saturday, but the place had no line, so I decided to check it out. The servers were friendly and were even willing to let me try the food. Honestly tasted just as good or even better than Panda, which had a long line. Food was well seasoned and flavorful, and the portion size was great! Highly recommend coming here and supporting them!“

“Food was great server was greater! Thanks“

“Didn't expect great sushi in Blaine, but it really is quite good. It tastes fresh and they have plenty of unique flavors and rolls without costing too much. We've tried almost every roll they have now and our favorites include the number 9 and the spicy girl rolls. Also it has a nice atmosphere, it's nice to be in a restaurant that is dimmer with unique colors.“

“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“

“Introvert heaven! Ordering is done through kiosks, you can grab your sides at home, cashier is polite! All the staff are quiet, and the cafeteria style serving of sides means you can see entirely into the kitchen. Basically you can verify the cleanliness of where food is prepped at a glance, and it is VERY clean! I have tried 3 udons so far, but my favorite is the dashi with beef sliced in. Broth is not too salty, and let's the noodles shine. If you are shy and love Japanese food, give this place a try!!“

“The restaurant was super clean, good fresh ingredients. The menu could use more details on ingredients and photos. The cashier wasn’t overly friendly when we had questions. We had differing opinions on the robot delivering the food.
My pic is of the chicken chow mein.“

“So tasty, amazing 1st time at an all you can eat sushi and it was so fresh and delicious! Great variety on the menu, and super tasty ice cream. Only tried the sushi and the duck-which was amazing but low on the meat. Will definitely be back!“

“The staff is great! Food taste amazing, overall a great atmosphere. Didn't mind grabbing a drink at the bar while we waited for an awesome show!

Kid-friendliness: The servers are so great with kids! They gave the kids crayons and paper to have some fun with.“
