16 Best Japanese Restaurants near White Bear Lake

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

“The food is insane good!!! Great atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Excellent place for sushi. Great atmosphere as well.“

“Definitely would recommend. Food was amazing and service was excellent.“

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

“Our new go to sushi place! All of the appetizers and sushi rolls we’ve had have been delicious. My son requested to come here for his 6th birthday, and even my very picky eater daughter ate almost an entire entree of the udon noodles. So so good!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Yesterday was the first time we went to this magnificent restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We had great time with the good service, with the excellent cooking and wine and with the decent charge. We will absolutely return there in a short time.“

“Went to all you can eat sushi with a friend on a Monday night a little after the dinner rush hour, was pretty quiet. Very nice, clean, spacious space. I thought the all you could eat sushi was a phenomenal deal. They had a wide array of food available to order, however the restaurant does not order tamago, which is one of my favorites. Sushi came out quick, waitress was attentive. Hot foods were hot and fresh as well. Dumplings were not the best I’ve ever had but they were good, it might have been the sauce that was super flavorful.“

“Food is really fresh, hot and full of flavor.“

“Please ensure you retain your receipt for a week or so, until your transaction clears from your bank. On 2/15, we dined and We paid with our debit card. We also provided a $20 cash tip to our waiter name Eve. We are perplexed as to how we were overcharged. The tipping section on our bill was crossed off by us. It does not make sense for us to be overcharged. We will be contacting you again to discuss this matter further. The amount on the receipt differs from the amount you charged us. There is a discrepancy of $30. Could you please clarify the reason for this overcharge?!! We've called multiple times and everytime, you guys said there were no management on duty. smfh!!“

“Have eaten here a few times, always been good, same this time except our food was overcooked. Don't know if it was the chef or that the grill wasn't working correctly. Fried rice was actually burned and he threw the bottom layer away. Our steak filets were all ordered medium rare all were served well done. The meals tasted okay but with a group of 11 and spending about $600 it should have been better.“

“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.“
