6 Best Japanese Restaurants in Bozeman

“Izakaya was the best food experience I've ever had and probably one of the top 10 experiences I've had in general. The kitchen staff was engaged and helpful (Paul, Maddi, and Trevor were amazing, but also shout out to the rest of the kitchen), and the food was out of this world.

Paul obviously cares deeply about his craft and made sure we knew what we were eating and where on the fish it came from, and it was really cool to watch him work right in front of us (especially given the fact that the sushi was out-of-this-world). Trevor was super fun and kept everyone engaged through the whole night while also making sure we were supplied on anything we needed - not to mention he is an impressive force in the kitchen and everything they brought out was great. Maddi was also incredible and made the best mocktails I've ever had (and it's not even close) - each of them was innovative and delicious.

The food itself was amazing and there wasn't a single course that I disliked. It's near impossible to pick a favorite because they all felt like stand-outs. I am traveling for the summer so I booked a solo reservation and they treated me like family and made sure that I was never bored or left out. Montana is a beautiful place with lots to do and still Izakaya's omakase experience is near the top of my list. If you are on the fence about this experience: make the reservation, it's worth it!“

“Hands down the best sushi in Bozeman! A great blend of traditional rolls and creative combinations that pop in your mouth. Their ramen is excellent too!“

“Very open place :) I got the spice ramen level 3, I eat alot of spicy food, and how I would describe the spice level for this dish is a smoldering powdery heat, like your sitting inside a hot sauna. I kind of expected a lot more meat rather than 2 thinly sliced pieces of meat that was kinda frozen, (had a bit of frozen texture to it) regardless I did enjoy it. I wish I got a lot more from the price point. The broth, it was thick and rich, had a nice ancient feel to it, and how I would picture my experience with the dish and how it felt, would be like eating in a rural part of Japan with a nice mist and slightly rainy atmosphere, maybe that's where the recipe came from 🤣 I recommend this to the mild heat lovers that is looking for something comforting and homey :)“

“Great lunch prices and good service. Dinner prices are a pretty big increase, and the super tight lunch hours are a pain point.

I'm no sushi snob, but the inside-out rolls here are exactly what I'm looking for.

Also not blaming the staff, but the fake bamboo near the hightops are super dusty and gross. I imagine those things are impossible to clean. I'd prefer they were just removed, or at least the cloth leaves which collect all the dust were gone. Management should get rid of that.“

“Seven is pretty great... I'm not saying perfect, but it certainly can compete with the best in town. I've been there 4-5ish times and only a hint of snarly from a staff person at the bar a couple years ago. Nice ambiance, good services, and a great menu. Made a reservation for 8 a couple weeks ago and the whole family LOVED the experience.“

“Love this restaurant. The mushrooms were amazing“
