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.👌“

“Always looking for solid local sushi, this place did not disappoint and far exceeded mt expectations. The owners are actually from native Japan and their quality and attention to details in the food show. Large 8pc rolls, delicious fresh ingredients, and great friendly service. Highly recommend and will be back as a regular customer!“

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

“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.“

“One of my favorite food places in the mall. The Hibachi service is kinda neat just to watch for what you pay for. Drizzle some Bourbon Chicken on top, I can eat that everyday. Nevermind the Beta Male Karens complaining about wearing masks (NPC/mindless drone) or assumptions about the employees giving them looks...You just get your food and eat it!“

“Food was great server was greater! Thanks“

“I ordered take out over the phone, and it was easy.
I ordered:
1 green river roll
1 salmon avocado roll
1 spicy tuna roll

The sushi wasn't amazing, but it was decent. The green river was my favorite. I liked the crunch of the shrimp tempura and seaweed salad. The eel sauce was tasty and balanced the flavors too.

The spicy tuna was ok. The spicy mayo had a good kick to it, which was great! It was a little bit on the dry side though, so maybe it could've used a touch more spicy mayo in the mixture. As for the salmon avocado, it was good.

I love when chefs use minimal rice when making sushi, because it makes it easier to taste all the other ingredients. New Fresh Wok sushi chefs did just that.

Overall, I liked the sushi and would order it from here again. I am also excited to try the other Chinese dishes!“

“We love this place!!! We've visited it several times and the food has always been great!!! We usually go during Happy Hours because they have lots of specials. This time we had Pork Gyoza, Miso, and the Hajime Shushi/Sashimi combo that comes with the Hajime Roll.“

“One thing you all should note... Although you can, I don't think this is a place you go alone... Hibachi settings are always nice (fresh food cooked in front you) although might have excess oil,lol. But it's worth it.

The chefs and their magic tricks.. lol, makes it all eventful and with friends you'd have a blast.. highly recommended culinary experience, plus I got to flex my few japanese phrases or semi-sentences..

So food+ friends+ tricks+ ambience+ great service+variety. Won't go wrong with Osaka“

“Honestly, I've never been there... but when an influence (@joshlilj) came in to buy a large order to feed the homeless, the restaurant decided to give the large order to him at no charge.
As someone who never thought I could be homeless, and yet here I am, right now... homeless... I can appreciate what this restaurant owner and the influencer did.
Even though it didn't affect me individually... in behalf of the homeless it did affect... Thank you.“

“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.“

“Cheaper than a Big Mac meal and more full filling. If you're looking for a cheap eat that will fill u up, their lunch buffet is excellent. Food quality is more like 3.5 stars which for the price, no complaints during this day and age where eating out becomes expensive.“
