12 Best Japanese Restaurants near Gladstone

“This was my first time here, and boy, was it an experience. I walked in with a question before I was seated. I asked if they have tap-to-pay because I lost my card. They said yes and sat me down in the 3rd booth. I looked at the menu, and about a minute from sitting down, the waitress greeted me and asked what I would like to drink. I knew I wanted a beer, so I ordered a Saporro. She brought the drink in a bottle, took one sip, and said, 'I need a mug.' So, I asked for a mug when she brought me some water. She brought a cold mug, and I was ready to order. I ordered a Salmon, Yellowtail, and Veggie roll from the lunch specials menu. I love trying rainbow rolls from different restaurants to see how they differ. I was about 2 pages into the book I brought when they gave me my sushi on a cute plate.
I would say little, but it was a big plate. I open my chopsticks, get about a teaspoon of wasabi, and put it in the sauce dish. I then poured the low-sodium soy sauce on top. I eat the salmon and yellowtail since they are close to me, but I am also saving the best for last. While I am eating the veggie roll, the server checks on me. The veggie roll surprised me; I liked it, but I didn't expect to find a leafy type vegetable in there. I ate the rainbow roll last. It was delicious. I think the crab was a little overpowering, but that is the difference between this one and the previous ones I've tried. Near the end of my last roll, I finished my beer and requested another, but a different type, Asahi. I sat there, drank my beer, and read about 4 pages when the male server or owner brought me a little square coffee cake. I was so happy; I took a bite before taking a picture of it. Two chapters read, and the beer was gone. And only a tiny square of the coffee cake was left. Ate it, swallowed it, reveled in the taste. I got up, paid, used the bathroom, which was clean, and I liked the leaf picture, and then left.
Yes, the food and drinks were great. The atmosphere was clean, interesting to look at, and accompanied by nice music, making it great. The service was excellent; the men and women serving were very attentive, and they provided excellent customer service.
Thanks for being one of the best customer service restaurants I've eaten at in a long time.“

The service was fast and friendly, and the portions were generous. This place is definitely a new favorite! Can’t wait to come back!“

“I can’t say I have ever had a bad experience at Mr. Le’s. I honestly never liked any other sushi or pho from another place. Love the atmosphere and always feel so welcome walking in But ever since they have had new ownership I’ve been disappointed. Hours have been cut and now they stop orders 30min before close?“

“My husband had 2 sushi rolls and I had sides of fried rice edamame, chicken breastfeeding. We shared egg rolls and crab rangoon all off the happy hour menu on the weekend! Everything was prepared fresh and the taste/flavors were great! Love and appreciate their happy hour pricing. Thank you to all staff who prepared our great meals! Will be back!“

“This restaurant was always good with food or sushi. It was sitting around the chef so best to go with others and not alone at this establishment. The food is good, as is the service. Is a traditional Japanese menu which they grill at your table. It is pricey so plan accordingly.“

“The hibachi was very very good. I went with the chicken with fried rice and was not disappointed at all. It was a lot of food too, easily had a meal the next day. I also had the volcano roll which was equally excellent. I will be back!!

Vegetarian options: There were several options

Dietary restrictions: Several gluten free and vegan options
