21 Best Japanese Restaurants near Hazelwood

“I’m usually a shogun foodie but this north county Kasabi definitely can stand up against their yum yum sauce and hibachi chicken !!!“

“Absolutely the best katsu place in the Midwest. I even liked here better than average donkatsu places in South Korea.

Food are awsome, atmosphere is warm and calm. We’ve been visiting this place 1-2 times a month. Various side dishes are also the one I really love.“

“I recently tried this sushi place after seeing it on TikTok, and I’m SO glad I did. I’m usually not even a huge sushi person, but I was craving it one day and decided to give it a shot. The workers were incredibly kind, especially the man who served us — he had such great energy and made the experience even better. The restaurant itself was adorable and so comforting, with cute decorations everywhere that made it feel really warm and welcoming. And the sushi… omg. Easily the best sushi I’ve ever had. I haven’t tried a ton of sushi places before, but this place is definitely going to be my go-to from now on.“

“For a small strip-front restaurant what a hidden gem. The size of my party was 4 adults and 3 kids, we had a Titanic sushi boat [3 adults] at $100 well worth it. Noodle dishes and fried rice for the rest of the party were equally good.“

“Hands down my favorite sushi place in St. Louis. Incredible food and friendly staff. I am always glad to introduce friends to the magic of Ocha's sushi!“

“Eating here is a must if you visit St Louis. My boyfriend and I went two days in a row. The service was amazing, the sushi is very high quality, it comes out quickly, and the cheesecake tempura is divine. 10/10“

“Great service and great food“

“Ordered the spicy pork katsu ramen today.

It had a great first taste — bold and flavorful. Both the broth and the pork were rich and satisfying at first. But after getting through about half the bowl, I started to find it a bit too salty. The strong flavor, while impressive at the beginning, became a bit overwhelming as I kept eating.

Still, a solid choice if you enjoy intense, savory ramen — just be prepared for the saltiness!“

“We love Sushi and Wasabi Sushi Bar did not disappoint. We didn't know until we finished ordering, but we ordered all three of the special Flaming Plate rolls. And the presentation was great. While there is still some disagreement on which was best, it is unanimous that they are all good. With indoor and outdoor seating and amazing service this is a great spot to satisfy the Sushi fix.“

“The best omakase and the most beautiful restaurant!!“

“We were in town visiting our son and found Sushi Koi in a Google search and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. John, our server, was great! The food was AMAZING! We had several rolls, sashimi soup, and fried tofu. The fish portions were very generous and the appearance of the plates was top notch! We will definitely go back home we are In town!“

“Great food and fast service!“

“Very cute spot for my birthday brunch. Soft atmosphere with gentle yet commonly heard pop songs. The space is clean and well managed. The service was okay. There was only one staff member working which I feel is reasonable considering it wasn’t extremely busy. The food was tasty. I do wish the menu and experience was better explained to my group. Overall, cute little spot in a wonderful area.“

“food, staff, outdoor dining :)“

“We went at 12 pm. Best pad see ew i have been able to find in STL yet. I had some in California that i fell inlove with that i haven’t found a place as good as this. It was not busy at all and they do close at 2. They were quick and Mai Tai was also yummy. I have seen bigger portions but i prefer it to be this portion and taste the way it did then bigger portions and not as good.“

“The sushi is delicious. I got the sushi and sashimi chef special. Unexpectedly, there is wasabi in the sushi. The rolls were great! Was definitely enough food for two people, and the piece is about $70 after tax. Not too bad. I always wanted to come since I’ve heard good things from family. Now that I have, I will come back, just maybe not anytime soon. But overall the quality of the fish is fresh and good. I would’ve liked a little bit more rice on the sushi but it was good!“

“Service was friendly and fast, atmosphere was comfortable and clean. Food was tasty and seems to be fresh my wife and I enjoyed the pork tonkatsu, my son had the tempura 🍤 shrimp&rice bowl. We also had the strawberry 🍓 tea with mango 🥭 popping Boba. All i can say is that I cannot wait to go back and enjoy more dishes and flavors.“

“Literally the best chicken fried rice I've ever had in my life. I would eat here every day if I could, but we're a drives out. Regardless, its absolutely worth eating here. Its better than going to a hibachi restaurant, and far cheaper, too. The only downside is that I don't have a bigger spoon to scope more rice into my mouth at once.“

“From out of state while my mother was in the hospital, I ordered online and went to pick up my order. I mistakenly placed the order at the wrong location. Rebecca, the manager, was so helpful and understanding. She was very professional, as was Ana, the hostess. I will be back. Thank you.“
