34 Best Japanese Restaurants near Montgomery

“All you can eat!! Fresh fish!“

“As far as special occasion dinners go, this was pretty top notch. Obviously the price point doesn't allow for this to be an everyday thing but when you're feeling like treating yourself, I highly recommend a dinner here.

We came here with a Saturday night reservation for the Kotobuki Omakase option. The team at Naoki sushi all works very well together and the entire experience was super special and went very smoothly. I love the simple atmosphere and decor, it is relaxing, bright and very authentically Japanese.

There wasn't a single thing that wasn't delicious in its own way. The fish was super fresh and I'm still dreaming about the melt-in-your-mouth uni. You can tell that you get what you pay for here in terms of quality.“

“i have been to this place several times & the sushi is always packed, presented, and served to perfection!! the takoyaki is delicious also!
i do a lot of over the phone orders, & the hostesses that take my calls always make sure my order is correct before hanging up, & the greeters are quick, efficient, & polite!

the staff are very nice & compliments always to the chefs !! definitely worth the splurge!“

“excellent food. Best sushi and hibachi rice“

“I love this place! My husband & I just got back from a trip to Japan a couple weeks ago and I was missing it so much! I discovered Maruichi and it brought me back to Japan 😌🥹. I was able to find this peach water I was obsessed about and the super delicious black thunder chocolate candy bars. AMAZING. Plus a lot of other things! There's a huge variety of tasty snacks and fresh fish! I will definitely be back for sure! I live almost an hour away from the store but it is definitely worth the drive!!“

“My wife and I seriously love this place. The food is always incredible, the music is great, and the whole vibe just feels relaxed and welcoming every time we come in. It’s one of those spots you end up craving all week. Everything we’ve tried has been so good, and the atmosphere makes you want to stay and hang out. Easily one of our favorite ramen spots.“

“Great service, great sushi. Delicious sushi combo and Clinton roll.“

“I just got back from a trip to Tokyo/Kyoto and have been seriously depressed missing all the delicious Japanese food I was able to eat over there. Thankfully I found Mizu Japanese Cuisine on Uber Eats. I ordered the Chicken Katsu which comes with all the fixings (salad, miso soup, rice). The chicken was so juicy and delicious. I also got a side order of pork Gyoza which really tied the meal together. If you are stuck in a post-Japan trip depression this place will surely lift your spirits. The food will seriously hit the spot! The only thing missing is the moist towelette :P Highly recommend. Thank you.“

“I have been ordering from Happy Wok for over ten years. We usually get sushi for takeout and the fish is always fresh and delicious. The service is also friendly and welcoming when we dine in. Besides for sushi, the menu has tons of options and they are all great!! you can taste the Happy wok hei!“

“Great very fresh sushi a small out of the way place that is a gem.. We found this place about 2 years ago and haven't gone to another sushi restaurant in our area since...“

“Always a gem! I work in Hboro and come here multiple times a month for their sushi lunch special. Delicious salad and miso soup with three rolls. I've had pretty much each roll on their menu and they have all been delicious. Lastly, Lee's has been a family owned business for many, many years. Please support small businesses!“

“Charlie and Sharon are an incredible team. The food is amazing!“

“Good food“

“Food and service was fantastic“

“Always fresh! Owners are wonderful people’“

“We walked into this place last minute on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday since another sushi place had been unable to accommodate gf. We could not have stumbled upon a better experience! Elan at the sushi bar made us a custom omakase tasting all gluten free and so delicious. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really created a one of a kind meal while making us feel special and taken care of. We ended up with about 15 different courses i believe all fabulous and ended with a special ice cream sushi dessert. Best part was it’s been a bit since we ended and i still feel great, stuffed but i can tell it was celiac safe! We will definitely be back!“

“Went here last night with a friend! Service was lightning fast, and the noodles had just the right bite to them!“

“Good service and good food for a low price. You get what you pay for!“

“I came on a Saturday after work. I was really craving some takeout sushi and this was really close so I tried it. I arrived earlier than my pickup time and waited inside. It was packed! I couldnt find parking to pickup my takeout order lol, and their parking lot is pretty huge for a stand a lone building!!
It was a little loud inside, but there was live music and the bar looked nice. I also noticed though several people waiting in the lobby waiting to be seated; it took a while for the host/server to show up to ask about my meal. It was ready at the time it said it was. The packaging was very premium, down to the ramekins with the sauces and reusable bag. Sushi was spectacular and at a VERY good price... Yellowtail roll had plenty of fish. Sashimi is reasonably priced and they are generous with the pieces... unlike some places that'll have half the roll be rice.
Will be coming here again; maybe during a quieter dine-in period though, and will update my review if I decide to sit down one day.“

“So I've never been much of a sushi person, but my last trip here with friends changed my mind on that so now I'm locked in sushi mode ! I really like the all you can eat aspect so I can sample a little bit of everything and I really enjoyed my Seafood Udon, mackerel and crab sashimi, Edison rolls and more ! Want to come here soon !“

“Great boba! A lot of milk tea doesn’t even taste of tea, but this spot does it right. The boba is perfectly supple and flavorful too, plenty of chew not over cooked or under. I went here 3 times and the service was fast and the boba quality was perfectly consistent the entire week. Would highly recommend for a quick grab brown sugar boba milk tea. I tried the Japanese dessert place next door for the same drink and it was disappointing in most dimensions compared to Kung Fu Tea.“

“The food was absolutely delicious!! It came out quickly and everything no was very fresh. The young man up front was very sweet and understanding, answered all the questions we had. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, this is my new lunch spot !“

“My husband, who eats sushi like its water, found this place one day and couldn't wait to show me. They are a small, cozy shop in a basement in the city. They have a respectively diverse menu for a sushi restaurant and make everything individually to order. With this in mind, yes please plan to spend time there. It is a bit pricey, but for us it is worth it every time.“

“Midori is our local Go To for consistently good sushi. We've been going here for a few years now since they reopened a while after COVID. My neighbor's turned us on to the place when they ordered sushi platters during and after COVID since they didn't open their dining area until much after most places had already opened. Their sushi and food has remained consistent with quality and taste and never failed us. Sushi is always fresh tasting and lots of variety of specialty rolls also. My kids really love the chicken katsu dinner and always get that. Their Kani salad is one of the best I've had around the area. Their dining area is nice and large with plenty of seating and is a great atmosphere. They are BYOB also, which is a plus. It you are from the area you are missing out if you don't have Midori as one of your go to local sushi spots. You won't be disappointed.“

“I really enjoyed these tasty and unique dishes they served . Fresh and delicious! The servers were helpful and very pleasant! Thank you for a very memorable dinner!“

“I love their garlic shrimp with scallops menu item. I always get it for take-out. I have eaten at least 20 of them. There is a problem with their packaging. They put the food into a white plastic container that ALWAYS leaks. The container is not water-proof. They put the white container into a brown bag and put that into a plastic bag. The sauce leaks from the white container through the brown bag and into the plastic bag. When I open the white container, I get sauce from the bottom of the container all over my kitchen counter and have a mess to clean up. I have seen other take-out containers and NONE of them ever leak. This business needs to get a liquid-proof or water-proof container to put the food in so the sauce does not leak out. Wake up please!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered a take-out today July 31, 2024 and was surprised to see they have a new container that, when held upright, does not leak. One good step in the right direction. I wish they would go one more step and use a truly watertight container. Many restaurants use waterproof containers so an even better type of container does exist.“

“You have to try the sweet potato tempura sushi. What a revelation! My omnivore friend and I had a great vegan meal here. There are several vegetarian options that won't make anyone feel deprived.“

Everyone in our group was impressed by the quality of the food—from perfectly cooked steak and shrimp to fresh sushi and tasty fried rice.“
