25 Best Japanese Restaurants near Amherst

“Bad bad experience. I was served and finished my dinner before my wife got any of what she ordered. Flagged down several people with restaurant uniform on and was totally ignored. Asked for the bill and waited ten minutes before I had to flag down a person to pay. We’ll never go back, ever!!“

“Endless Options and choices.
I Recommend Getting Spicy Beef Stew With Udon if You are Feeling Spicy.
Ordering Congee with Pork for Rainy or Cold Days. And I also Enjoy the Spare Ribs With Rice Dish! As Long as you know what you like before entering this Place is a Staple and their Bubble Tea is Really Affordable!“

“This is one of our favorite local restaurants.my songs loves the ramen which is always hot, delicious and great portions. My husband and I are huge fans of the poke bowls. Everything is always fresh and delicious. It is one place we can all always agree on and everyone is happy afterwards. The family that owns it are wonderful and always provide excellent service!“

“Sarah was our server and she was excellent Everything was perfection. Had a lovely Birthday celebration.“

“Went there for the first time with my friend and her 2 kids, who had just went for their first time just a couple days prior! Dinner time, told a 15 min wait, perfectly understandable. We waiting in the car until they called to say they were ready. We all did the All You Can Eat. Ordering on the table tablet was easy. My only comment would be, it will be easier when all items have pictures attached, but everything had descriptions so you knew what you were getting. We did see the 90 minutes limit warning but we were there for closer to 2hrs and never once felt rushed or cut off. A couple items we ordered multiples of and were never told a limit. We also placed our orders semi staggered. Each person did their own first round and ordered. Then after ordered as wanted. I'd enjoyed my experience and left super full. Knowing what I would order from our local sushi place we would have easily spent 60 per person vs the AYCE price. Staff was super nice and there was someone always available!“

“The absolute best pad thai I've ever had! So flavorful and gluten free!“

“Food is fantastic and service amazing !!! Highly recommend ❤️❤️“

“Me and my friend finally visited and can’t rave about this place enough! Our jasmine peach refresher was such a beautiful palate cleanser. We each got the shoyu ramen - that broth is a game changer. Everything was cooked to perfection. Try the taiyaki - it’s made fresh! We will definitely be coming back. Amazing service as well!“

“Absolutely amazing. I am so happy to have found our new sushi spot. We both got the Chef’s Omakase for $35 each. Absolutely great deal. The servers were so sweet and answered any of the questions we had. If I could give this place a 10/5 I would!!“

“I went for the first time today. I had the shrimp combo and it was absolutely excellent. I would highly recommend.“

“Some of the best sushi I have tasted In a while“

“I have been here a few times with my wife and we absolutely love it! The staff are attentive and friendly! The food is absolutely amazing! We try to go once every few weeks to try all the different kinds of sushi! The pricing isn’t too bad for the amount you get! The atmosphere is very nice but not over done. This place is busy for a reason!“

“Absolutely phenomenal! The food and staff were top notch and we will be returning! We got the Angry Birds, Buffalo Roll, Chicken, Steak, White Tuna appetizer, and Beef! All were delicious with ZERO complaints! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“good food eating dinner with my best friends tonight!!😀😎“

“Restaurant was clean, the one girl working was very kind and accommodating, she checked with the cook to make sure things did not contain fish sauce and other animal ingredients (vegan). I had the yellow curry and it was tasty.
The only thing that I would say was a negative - the menu no longer has Indian options like samosa and they also did not have sushi. Options were mostly Thai and Chinese. It would also be great and make it easier if things were labeled whether they are vegetarian and/or vegan so the server doesn’t have to check.“

“I have been eating here for years! Food is always beyond amazing. The language barrier is sometimes difficult but trust me, the food is worth it! I have been eating from the same cook for as long as I can remember. The food is worth an hour drive! Always stop by!“

“Nice restaurant with good service and food was good“

“The BEST pad Thai in the 716 HANDS DOWN!! Great service, great food!“

“I love the owners, music, and food. This place is a vibe- best servers.❤️“

“We’ve ordered from Hokkaido Cafe many times but decided to dine in this time. The food was fantastic. Favorite appetizers were crispy chicken and edamame. And you can never go wrong with the sushi and the ramen. There are so many different combinations you’d have to just keep coming back to try them all - which we plan to do. The tonkotsu and shoyu broth options are our favorites. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent! Been there numerous times; food is consistently excellent and made how you like it (spiciness). Highly recommend for Ramen soup.“

“Edit: I ate here almost every day. Don't think it's fair for a 4* review. Changing it to 5* for continued good service and yummy food

The eel bowls are to die for
Chicken yakitori also good too.

Sushi is mid though. I had shrimp nigiri and it was the hardest thing to eat. Good presentation though“

“Love this place! Food is great. We order from here all the time.“
