Japanese Restaurants near Richmond Heights

“The food is always terrific. Over the past few years we’ve ate here probably about 20 times and they’re very consistent with the service and the quality of their food. I usually pick eating here over other places even if I wasn’t planning on going to the mall we make trips there just to eat here! If you enjoy fried rice or sushi and haven’t ate here yet, give it a try, it’s wonderful!“

“Edit..we have been back since my review.The rude guy at the door is gone. Everyone is friendly and the food is beyond amazing!!Make sure if you want to try this place out, you make reservations. My friend and I decided last minute to try the restaurant out because I had read about it on line. When we arrived, we were informed that there would be a wait. I asked about seating at the bar because most places it is open seating. Let me tell you the host was so condescending that it was uncomfortable. There is no waiting area and he acted alarmed that I was going to approach the bar to get a glass of wine. He then informed us it was a 2 hour wait. After driving around forever trying to find a place to park and having much anticipation of trying Sado we just left. I rarely leave a bad review anywhere but I realize this place is new and hope they work on their customer service. I am sure the food will be amazing“

“My girlfriend and I were really craving sushi, but our usual place was closed on Mondays. We thought about Top Sushi since we passed by it all the time and never went and said, "Let's try it out."We were stunned by how delicious it was! We got 3 rolls and some spring rolls. Highly recommend the Crab Rangoon Roll!The gentleman who greeted us was very welcoming and couldn't have been nicer. The inside was very quaint and cozy. Simple seating and some music to enjoy while you eat.We will absolutely visit here again!“

“Every time I come the food is great. The price point is amazing for the food you get. Sushi rolls are always excellent and I order the same thing everytime but I always get a different hot food option whether it’s egg rolls, crab Rangoon, etc. and it’s always good! Hate the parking on Delmar and wish they had more locations but it’s worth it.“

“The food was hot and delicious.The service was excellent; very attentive and knowledgeable.Very, very clean and comfortable atmosphere.The only unfortunate business process was that they charge a percentage of you pay using debit/credit card. If you pay using cash is not an issue.I will be a returning customer paying with cash.“

“Had the 4 course omakase dinner here, and it was amazing. The interior decor is beautiful, elegant, simple. The setting is intimate, and definitely gives and elevated vibe. The service is impeccable. Each course they brought was a hit. The fish was very fresh and skillfully prepared. I appreciated that all of the fish had minimal sauces or seasonings, thus letting its natural flavor shine. Definitely a great place for a special occasion!“

“Had dinner this evening at Sen Thai. Sat at the bar. Bartender was friendly but didn't really ask me typical usually questions when ordering Thai food. I had the Tom yum soup, a crispy salmon hand roll ( as they have sushi as well) and crying tiger beef. I love my Thai food very spicy. With that I wasn't ever asked my spice level. My soup was good. The crying tiger salad was really good just wish it was spicier. I asked for Thai chilies in fish sauce to help bring more heat to it. Over all good food. Not super authentic but good. Would come back for sure.“

“Sushi KOI is my favorite dine-in sushi in St. Louis. The space is small and intimate--perfect for a friend date or romantic date--so don't be surprised if you have to cozy up at the counter. You order all your sushi at once on a checklist and they bring it all out on a beautiful, humongous platter. Be forewarned, the portions are huge (especially for the price!)--the sashimi pieces are 2-3x bigger than what you typically get. The roll options are plentiful, diverse, and delicious and the appetizers are also great - we recently tried the tuna tartare and loved it!“

“We really do love "I Love Mr. Sushi" and find ourselves returning time and time again for high quality, fresh, and delicious food at a reasonable price. The Crab Rangoon Roll is a true winner, especially for skeptical sushi-goers who fear raw fish. Kind and attentive staff with quick service put the cherry on top of this Olivette gem. 5 stars.Edit: The Hot Mama Roll is DELISH!“

“My bestie and I enjoyed a fabulous, fresh, and delicious dinner there tonight! The Vietnamese Chicken Salad is packed with fresh, crisp veggies and the Pho was so flavorful! Our food was brought to our table within minutes of ordering and dishes cleared for us. 5 STAR FOOD AND SERVICE!!!“

“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 picked up an order for delivery for doordash, so I can't rate the food itself, but the service and atmosphere was great! The girl at the register/front area was prompt and very polite. And I love the set up and the seating up stairs! That's so cool! I can't wait to come and try the food!!!“

“Good food for a reasonable price. Had dinner here on a Friday night. It was quite busy and seemed to be a bit understaffed but they were attentive. The main reason the service is four stars rather than five is because the wrong food was delivered to our table, and the person who dropped it off did not know what it was so we couldn’t verify whether it was ours or not until a server walked past several minutes later.“

“I have been here 2x, once for dine in and once for carry out and have had great experiences both times. The menu in the cwe is different from the chesterfield menu, and everything I have tried so far has been good. The 1st time, I tried the shrimp udon. It was delicious and the shrimp were huge. The 2nd time I do the spicy chicken wings, and even though the wings were small, they were very flavorful. Fries were just okay, but everything else was delicious! Service has been quick both times and they did a great job of packaging everything up when I did take out. Staff seem friendly . It's a decent space, and they have a large tv on. Cute decor overall. Per usual parking in the cwe is not my favorite, but I will def come back and try more!“

“I have come here several times over the past several years. Today I noticed they were slammed. I took note of everyone working the front including the cook running in and out. Despite a rush, everyone was still very good spirited and polite. I was just sitting back waiting my turn and thinking I should take this time to make a review. The food is great and the people are always nice. I strongly recommend this place.Kid-friendliness: There's a play center for kids here.“

“If you’re looking for a lot of grocery store quality sushi for a good price and great vibe this is your spot.The fish wasn’t the best , the rice fell apart, but the drinks were strong and the portions were great for the price.Service was exceptional and they all look like they’re having fun and treated well! Check this spot out and come hungry!“

“I absolutely loved this place, The atmosphere is excellent and the service is perfect. Came in got seat, got food in less than 10mins, ate and left. Sushi was good and my wife's teriyaki chicken wasn't dry which is common at most sushi places. Highly recommend!!!“

“We love supporting small local business. I realized I haven't written about Ichiban- my favorite sushi restaurant in St. Louis. We have been customers here for about 5 years or so. We came here at least once a week. We usually ordered to go during the weekdays and dined in on the weekends.The owners treat and talk to us like family. Our go to orders are hamachi sashimi, spicy crazy roll, hamachi Kama (yellowtail collar), spider rolls and eel avocado rolls. Last night, I was in a mood for grilled fish so I ordered saba shioyaki combo. It came with ginger house salad, and miso soup. I absolutely loved the ginger dressing here - the owner made it herself. The restaurant is quite spacious, and clean. Highly recommend.“

“Foodie Friyay!Newish spot on the Delmar Loop, G-San Kitchen, is serving up Japanese dishes. Chef-owner Gavin Gao, who likes the casual vibe of izakayas, aims to bring a unique pub experience to University City. Gao owns bubble tea eateries currently but wanted to open a spot offering whiskey, sake, wine, and Japanese beer.G-San offers katsu, skewered meats, ramen and other various veggies, appetizers, rice plates. We started with edamame, shrimp dumplings and spring rolls. I had the shrimp rice plate and shrimp skewers. My shrimp were plump and huge.Our server was knowledgeable about the menu because you know foodies, we have a lot of questions. Ha!“

“Ok, coming from sushi in Seattle and Vancouver, BC, no sushi in st Louis come close quality wise. That being said, most sushi here isn't bad either. Now that we have those conditions it's more about value for me. The sushi AI all you can eat special is the absolute best value you will get for sushi anywhere I've found. Rolls, nigiri, miso soup, you name it. It was all just as good as any overpriced location I've been to.“

“Everything you need from a sushi bar, you can get at Kampai. Sushi roll served on fire? They have it. Can't decide and want the chef to surprise you with a meal? They'll do it. Don't know which sake or soju you like? They have flights.The wait staff were so courteous and attentive. The entire restaurant was clean and has a lot of natural lighting. We had several types of sushi rolls, green tea mochi ice cream, and sake flights. Everything was delicious and presented beautifully.“

“The service is amazing, we got all of our food so quickly! Appetizers came out not even 5 minutes after the order was placed and main course came soon after! Food tastes amazing and the atmosphere is perfect for dinner! Highly recommend if you’re in town!“

“I can only speak on my takeout experiences, but each time we order to-go everything is fresh, the rolls and fish are separated well, and it's all tasty. We try to order fish that isn't fried but the lobster roll is one we get every dang time... worth it!“

“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.“

“First time diner at Wasabi. First off, I can't believe I am leaving a 5 star rating based on the circumstances tonight. The food was excellent...some of the best sushi I have had in a while. But the place was packed...a complete madhouse...it was $7 roll night plus the night before Valentine's Day. Placed our order quickly and were excited for our rolls. The wait on our sushi order was over an hour which under normal circumstance would have me ballistic.What made this a 5 star experience was our amazing server, Michelle. She was incredibly good at her job...managed our expectations from the very beginning regarding the wait time for sushi and why things were going to take longer than normal. She also repeatedly mentioned that she hoped the long wait would not impact our decision to come back in the future...and is exactly what happened because of her care and attention to the situation.I dine out every day and was so impressed at how she managed our table. It is truly a rarity in this day and age to have someone so poised, professional and friendly able to manage our expectations the way she did given difficult circumstances. Thank you, Michelle!PS. we ordered the Philadelphia roll, the Batman Roll, the Yummy Roll and the Spicy Omega Roll...all beautifully presented and absolutely delicious...our favorite was the Spicy Omega.“

“I have celiac disease which, in very watered down terms, is a gluten allergy. I was nervous coming in because as a celiac, trying new restaurants is really scary when you know you might get sick.if you ask, they're super accommodating! my waitress was super nice and super patient and happily found an old copy of an allergen menu for me. as you'd expect, there aren't a whole lot of options available when it comes to rolls; there's spicy tuna, the california roll, etc. HOWEVER, there's tons of options when it comes to sashimi and nigiri! the fish is fresh and melts in your mouth and, above all, the staff is friendly, diverse, and all have really cool tattoos lol. thanks for the good food! :)Dietary restrictions: They happily make accommodations for gluten allergies!“

“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 “

“Solid restaurant. If you want to enjoy the whole experience, you can go and check out the Teppanyaki grill. If you're more of a people watcher or on a date, you can sit back in a booth and still enjoy the good food in a little bit more of an intimate setting. If you have a birthday they come out and play a little tune for you.. it's pretty funny. The cheese wontons are a great starter and you can order what you would get from the Teppanyaki Grill brought straight to your table. Everything here is solid. Wait staff is usually cool and right on time. They work together well as far as expediting. Not the cleanest restaurant but they get really busy so I its understandable.“
