36 Best Japanese Restaurants near Richmond Heights

“This place was fantastic! I love that they ask what sauce on top.... both eel and spicy mayo yes please! The fried sushi and regular sushi was incredible! The staff was so kind. I was doing the sushi dance the whole time! I wish I didn't live so far away because I would go there all the time! Had the fried Philly roll and the Rock and Roll.“

“Strong argument for the best sushi in St Louis. We had the 10 course tasting menu from the social hour menu and it was incredible. The Isaan Hamachi was the best single bite of food I had in 2024. Remarkable clarity of flavor in everything.“

“Enjoyed the food. It was freshly made to order. We had the chicken katsu set, pork katsu set, cheese katsu set & curry. All the food was delicious. There was enough food in the servings that you feel full but just right not to over eat. My kids loved the food and even ate all the veggies. They loved the wasabi & kimchi. The bathroom could be cleaner but not too shabby. This is a great place to enjoy Japanese cutlets. Definitely coming back!“

“This neighborhood restaurant is a hidden gem! While the atmosphere is simple, it’s clear their focus is on delivering high-quality, delicious food.

The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. If you’re looking for a place that prioritizes great food over unnecessary frills, this is it! Highly recommend for a casual and satisfying dining experience.

Kid-friendliness: Should be a great spot for kids.“

“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“

“The Eggplant Katsu and Strawberry Sandos we had were great, but the Peach Boi was FANTASTIC. Amazingly tender and flavorful peaches with a bold cinnamon note, perfectly soothed by the generous portion of whipped cream. Thank you for the fun food IZUMI!“

“I've been going to this location since they opened many many years ago. I have always loved the food and while it has had its ups and downs in the quality it is still delicious in my mind chicken teriyaki double meat with noodles and vegetables is the best thing you can “

“I’ve always wanted to try authentic ramen and wanted the experience, the atmosphere, the vibe, and the incredible taste and I can’t look anywhere else except G-San if I’m in Missouri! I had the Spicy Pork Katsu Ramen and it was to die for! Everything about this local restaurant, from the sweet waitress, to the music and decoration, to the food made with homestyle cooking, oh this place will always bring me back. ??“

“Amazing and Affordable! Their spicy tuna roll is so good and cheaper than many other places by 30%! Also their Chicken teriyaki had me craving it for days after! My only complaint is they need more independent restaurants because sometimes I don't feel like getting an Uber or fighting the mall! This place is so good tho ✨“

“My favorite all you can eat sushi place! Sushi is great, they have all the sauces you’d want (unlike sushi Ai) This is our go to spot! Prices are unbeatable! Also as someone with Celiac Disease I never had a problem eating here, they make accommodations if I need something changed.

Parking: Lots of parking, open lot.“

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

“Would recommend it’s very good“

“Absolutely love this place!“

“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!“

“Tried the soy braised spicy noodles at the VegFest, Oct 6. It was so good, I had to find their page to see where the restaurant location was! Highly recommend trying them!“

“Great food and fast service!“

“food, staff, outdoor dining :)“

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting. Loved it �“

“Lovvvvvve the sushi here!! Dining experience is a total vibe!“

“Food was amazing, and staff were very knowledgeable about selections and cuts available (shoutout to Jim). The Chongqing spicy broth added a great but not overbearing heat, while the sweeter Sukiyaki style broth paired perfectly with the beef we received. The course came with a plentiful amount of vegetables and other sides, with complementary additional spices and flavorings. Perfect place to grab a warm meal in the winter, at a great spot.“

“Loved the food, wished they would have given more than one crab raggoon! Will so definitely go back!“

“great food and fast and friendly staff“

“Love the food and the management but the servers not all but some are confrontational and rude. Made my daughter cry 😢 all because they gave us the wrong food and confronted us. I respect the management team because they stepped in right away and apologized. I love the food but they definitely need better professional servers.“

“Great fresh food! Reasonable“

“The best all around staff in Kirkwood. Thank you for helping to make a wonderful birthday dinner for my daughter! Can’t wait to see you all again!“

“I was pleasantly surprised to find such fresh sashimi, especially since it’s not an expensive omakase spot. We had salmon, toro, eel, all incredibly fresh and impressive. They also offer uni from Hokkaido and California sometimes, which sell out fast because they’re so fresh. The scallop sashimi was a delightful first for me—so sweet! The rolls are amazing too; the lobster roll had an entire lobster in it. The chef is top-notch, and they have a great selection of Japanese sake to complement the food. This place truly exceeded my expectations for an affordable sushi restaurant.“

“Try the Ocean Pyramid it’s amazing!“

“One of the BEST ramen bowls I've ever tasted. The broth was so delicious and the chashu was made right, you can taste the mirin used to make it. Even better than when I made it at home. Whenever I pass through St Louis, I'll be eating here again.“

“Dear ichiban, you are truly the most amazing Japanese restaurant in St. Louis. One time, we came here four nights in a row and the owners didn’t even judge us. They are always nice to us. It is so good I love the udon and yellowtail sashimi.“

“Great Pad Thai and sushi. Clean dining room. Attentive staff.On one occasion,, I was there near closing and they started cleaning the restrooms and the chemicals reached our table through the air as they were spraying the tables down (terrible practice I frequently notice in restaurants - you should spray the rag directly instead while patrons are present for this exact reason). Now I just make sure I'm not there on the later side of dinner service.

Parking: Practically empty lot as most (all?) of the other businesses in the same strip mall have closed.“

“With excellent flavor, great sushi, but with a very slow service!“

“The Service Was INCREDIBLE!“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants. It has a wonderful Mongolian barbecue along with an incredible assortment of Asian foods. Their hot and sour soup is one of the best I’ve ever had. The sushi is very good and the service is always been polite and very attentive to clear plates. I have never been rushed as I enjoy talking endlessly to friends while eating here. The bathrooms are elegant and very clean however, I think the bathroom doors are very heavy. I believe that is why they are usually blocked open. They also have very quiet hand dryers. The lobby is also elegant , the doors are hard to open because there is a very strong air handling system that keeps fresh air circulated I enjoy bringing friends here For a relaxing meal and conversation. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good place to eat.“
