12 Best Japanese Restaurants in Omaha

“The staff here is amazing we just wanted to order to go but she insisted that we can sit and eat and enjoy our meal here I felt super welcomed and she went out her way to make sure we had water to drink with our meal even though we didnt order a beverage ☺️ the food and hospitality is AMAZING and super welcoming. Super amazing kind lady and the cook 🙏🙏 God bless you and may your business prosper abundantly“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I have been going to the one in Pensacola Florida since I was a child and have always had a great experience. Delicious food, so consistent every time.“

“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!“
