21 Best Japanese Restaurants near Nixa

“Dining in is always an experience at the hibachi grill, but I just love if I order takeout I still get so much food and it is always delicious! Always love the excellent service!!!“

“We enjoy eating here. It’s a family owned business and we always want to support local. If you are in a hurry this is not for you it does take a bit of time but we don’t mind. While they have minimal wait staff they are always pleasant.“

“Enjoyed a variety of Nigiri! The freshest I’ve ever had in this area! The fish literally melted in my mouth! Wagu A5 hot rocks was pretty amazing as well! We also enjoyed a Tokyo sunrise, forest of ariake, and a lychee martini! Each cocktail was well made! It was a lovely dinner. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Shame on me for not rating this until now. My husband and I have been coming to Umi for 15 years, since we first started dating. We've had one of our first dates here. We ate here the day we got married. And many, many anniversaries, birthdays, and valentine's days in between. This place is very near and dear to our hearts. We came here tonight for an early V-day celebration. Everything was still just as good as it's always been and we are so grateful they haven't changed their recipes. We always come here for sushi, and even after all this time, it's still the best in town.“

“BEST ramen in town, hands down. No contest. Their appetizers and cocktails are amazing too! I love the grapefruit cosmo in particular.“

“Like a trip back to my childhood. Korean options are so good.“

“I was especially impressed with how vegetarian-friendly the menu was — they had a dedicated vegetarian section and great options for plant-based diners. Service was efficient and friendly, and we were seated within 10 minutes. The environment was quiet and relaxed, making it ideal for catching up with friends or enjoying a date night.“

“I never eat this kind of food it was amazing!!!!!“

“The food was amazing! It was quick but not rushed. The quality and cuts of meat were delicious. The variety of sushi rolls! We will be returning when we’re in the area.“

“Excellent service and great food! Very friendly staff, beautiful interior, great all around!“

“*** One problem I have is the last four visits our cooks have been putting teriyaki on all the chicken as they are cooking it. I ordered chicken with shrimp but I did not order teriyaki. I did not want teriyaki and due to dietary restrictions I'm not supposed to have teriyaki but I was not even asked if I wanted teriyaki. I think guests should be given the option or even at least asked if we want teriyaki sauce put on our chicken while it is being cooked.“

“It’s a nice place to estimate“

“We had a sushi making class for my women’s group and had the BEST time with lots of laughs. The quality of the ingredients, instruction and service was top notch! We all enjoyed what we made and will definitely go back again for a class or just to eat! The owners are joyful, hard working people who made the experience top notch!“

“I have to say that since I was diagnosed with Alpha Gal Syndrome (allergy to anything mammal including dairy) it’s been a real struggle when wanting to go out to eat with family. Last night was my 2nd time there since my diagnosis & my meal was delicious, waitress was amazing & food delicious“

“One of best restaurant“

“Great quality Asian food (and I say this as an Asian American). They're a hard-working family business with years of experience in the food industry, so please be patient with them! I've always had a good restuarant experience here and they're worth the price compared to other places. My favorites are the combo sushi rolls (with salmon instead of tuna) and lo mein dishes since they're so savory and not bland like other restaurants I've been to. I hear their eel sauce is homemade. Potstickers are really delicious too.“

“My family absolutely loves Niji! All of the servers are extremely kind and make sure you are taken care of of. Thu Thu is an excellent bartender with a fun bubbly personality. The food is always delicious and we look forward to coming back the next week. It’s a staple for us :)“

“The absolute best!!! I'm a sushi snob and shocked to find some of the best ever here in southern Missouri.“

“We had my son’s graduation party here last May. We had 23 people and had great service and food! We ordered a variety of food, some sushi and some hibachi. Every order was perfect! I was impressed! We eat here often and the service is always great and the food is delicious!“
