15 Best Japanese Restaurants in Omaha

“The ramen and sushi were amazing! I highly recommend the Tonkatsu ramen as the pork and broth were so flavorful. If you’re looking to round out your meal, nothing beats the Yum yum roll. Also, shout out to Micah for his amazing service and knowledge of the menu.“

“Amazing taste and fast service!!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed the remarkable freshness of the fish and the unique experience of watching the chefs skillfully craft each piece of sushi. Without question, it is the finest and most exquisite sushi offering one can find in Omaha. However, while the quality of the food was outstanding, I am unsure if this was the best omakase experience I’ve ever had.

Omakase is meant to be a holistic experience, not just about the sushi itself but the ambiance and the overall atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in this regard. The setting, though intimate, was disrupted by two couples whose loud, rowdy conversations overtook the compact space. Despite asking the server if anything could be done, the response was, “we will try,” which turned out no meaningful action was taken. This left the environment feeling like a chaotic bar and far from the serene, harmonious experiences I’ve had in Japan, where sushi can be savored in a tranquil setting.

Additionally, a 22% gratuity was added automatically, which didn’t sit well with us given the overall experience.

In conclusion, while the fish was undeniably fresh and the sushi among the best you can find in Omaha—perhaps the only truly authentic omakase experience in Nebraska—the lack of a more curated and serene atmosphere made it difficult for me to be fully satisfied.“

“Went on a Friday afternoon and got sat really quickly. The service was amazing; James went above and beyond. Very personable and knowledgeable, and kept us updated on our orders. Made me feel right at home. Great place for dinner. Oh and food was delicious. Shout out the the chefs as well :)“

“We celebrated our Anniversary with Jeremy and his crew at Genji last night. Everything was exceptional as usual. They are our go to for family celebrations!“

“Cute place with plenty of seating. We were able to make a reservation online and get right in with two adults and a high chair. The waitress we had was very friendly and did a great job answering any questions and explaining the menu. We had the crab rangoons, everything smoked salmon, and 3 sushi rolls…all were delicious. We both really enjoyed our drinks as well. I would return!“

“I was pleasantly surprised how good this was! You can either order of the menu or do all you can eat. It's made to order, which is so must better than a buffet. Everything was very good and will plan on visiting again.“

“The Crispy Garlic Beef and Three Delicacies were delicious! Our server Maggie was helpful and a delight. Also thanks for the tasty anniversary slice of cake!“

“It was okay. I ordered the #4. Needed more flavor. It was bland. I will try again. Maybe it was an off night.“

“Love the North Riverside location they’re always delicious and the customer service is friendly and welcoming to say the least.“

“We went to the soft opening @Terikayi Madness last night. The family was impressed by all the food we tried. Unfortunately, we ate everything before we got pictures for you all. They have a lot if items for proteins including chicken, steak, salmon & tofu. Several rice/noodle options also kept our family happy! They open tomorrow with $6 specials, hit them up this weekend if you are brave and patient or as with all businesses, give them time to work through any possible issues and check them out later. While they are a franchise, the owners live in Omaha & were all on site working with employees to ensure they knew how to do their job & were supported.“

“Overall good experience, menu was easy to understand and our waitress answered any questions we had. 25 dollars for all you can eat sushi is a very good price. Staff was friendly and welcoming, food was delicious. Only negative was we didn’t get our drinks (all got water) until almost the end of the meal!“
