37 Best Japanese Restaurants near Armonk

“Great food abs great environment!!“

“Good lunch selections just that their miso soup is so salty. Otherwise everything else is very good. I had salmon teriyaki with California rolls. It came with side salad , miso soup and steamed veggies. Salmon size serving is big for lunch . Very happy with the order. Cheap for $14.“

“Good sushi and sashimi. Good place“

“Just finished my teriyaki steak box. Has to be the best I have ever had. Fresh, crisp, distinct flavors all on one plate. I do not usually write reviews but was so impressed that I had to congratulate them. Well done!“

“I think this place is great, a real jewel. I had one of the special rolls.. I think they call it yummy yummy. Gorgeous to look at but delicious to eat! Go there you won't be disappointed!“

“My husband and I did the table side omakase and overall, all the sushi was absolutely delicious! The only critique we have is for the dessert, which was green tea ice cream. We feel like for the price per person, the dessert should be a bit more elevated than ice cream that was most likely store bought. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who asked, but just give a heads up that the dessert may feel lacking.“

“I almost forgot about this spot but remembered it from when I trained at the martial arts gym down the street. I saw the other reviews raved about the food and the impressive menu for such a little spot so I decided to stop in for lunch. Very delicious indeed and the fish was rather fresh and clean tasting. They offer a decently priced menu full of Japanese favorites including cooked dishes if you are not a sushi fan. I opted for a traditional tuna maki roll and a spicy tuna roll as apart of the lunch special. Both were so tasty I ended up ordering another roll to go and the crispy rice. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and traditional decor, very bright and clean looking. Sometimes these restaurants these days can get a little too funky with the decor so they made a proper choice maintaining simplicity. I see they deliver so I will definitely be ordering again when I am not in the area.“

“Great friendly staff. Panini was awesome“

“I was able to get a reservation for two, same day for 6pm at the bar area. We didn’t wait at all as there was bar seating. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and did not disappoint when asked for a recommendation. After many nigiri selections and a few hand rolls I would recommend the hamachi & scallion, bluefin tuna, and the spicy ora king salmon hand rolls. I had a favorite hand roll place before (KazuNori) but OKO amazed me and is now my favorite place for hand rolls. Presentation is taken seriously, as well as the craft that goes into the cuts of fish and I can tell the fish is very fresh. As for the sushi, I very much enjoyed every piece I ordered but my favorites were definitely the salmon belly and the smoked black cod. I definitely see myself returning and recommending OKO. Atmosphere and service were also very positive during my visit. This place is definitely a positive experience for me.
Things to keep in mind: their sushi/nigiri are smaller than your average sushi place but still a welcoming size. They take walk-ins but reservations seem to be highly recommended. OKO has high quality fish/ingredients so you will be paying a pretty penny.“

“Fogama provides seriously delicious Japanese dishes, that are expertly created from a vast and varied menu. Every dish was enjoyable and appreciated. Service was great when we first arrived, but then lacked on a very busy Friday evening. We will definitely return.“

“Our favorite sushi spot - love and crave their red dragon rolls. Also their salmon fried rice yummmm“

“Great food. Bento box is my fiancé & my favorite. Once a week We order.“

“One of the best Ramen Bars I’ve ever been to. The flavors across the menu are unreal. The Spicy Miso Ramen w/ Pork Belly in particular was one of the best soup broths I’ve ever tasted. The service staff could not have been more friendly and courteous. The quaint setting and atmosphere lend themselves to almost feel like sitting at one big family style dinner table.“

“Attentive friendly staff and delicious food. Amazing combination will definitely frequent while in Greenwich.“

“It is clean, balanced portions of food, I had the combo shrimp & filet mignon steak, very good at reasonable $, I think it's ,the best combo! including miso soup & choice of ice cream,I had Pistachios with marischino cherries. overall great 👍 thumbs up!“

“Such an amazing place for hibachi! Our chef and waitress were very accommodating with my special requests, making the entire dining experience enjoyable from start to finish. Hibachi dinner also came with clear soup and their Ginger salad was delicious,must try!
The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and absolutely delicious.
They also have a full bar, which is a
great bonus!

Buddha has definitely become a new favorite, and we’ll be bringing our family back again soon. Highly recommend!“

“Great atmosphere friendly great food fresh very pleasant👌👍“

“Came here to eat in New Year’s Day. Miso soup was so good. We ordered many hand yolks between two people. There was one tool I didn’t like too much I can’t remember the name now but all the rest were fresh and delicious.
They even gave us a cute ice cream dessert“

“Best Japanese restaurant in Westchester. The owners provide the service and are very respectful and accommodating. The sushi is fresh and excellent and the food choices are authentic Japanese. Love the box lunches. I don’t think the negative reviews are fair at all. This is a traditional Japanese restaurant. Authentic Japanese is unique.“

“Tzen is a true hidden gem that delivers an exceptional dining experience once you look past the initial price tag. I avoided visiting because the sales tax is higher at this location, but the build quality of the food and the freshness of the ingredients make up for the added expense. This is a joy lifter of a restaurant where the culinary performance clearly lives up to its claims of being a high-end establishment.
During my visit, I ordered the Mapo tofu as a vegan option, which served as a perfect test for the quality of the vegetables used in the kitchen. The produce was remarkably fresh and well-prepared, showcasing a level of detail often missing from standard fare. While the Szechuan seasoning was not quite as numbing as I desired, this profile is somewhat expected for this region and did not detract from the overall high-quality experience. The flavors were faithful to authentic techniques while remaining accessible, proving that the kitchen team is extremely knowledgeable.
Bottom Line: Tzen offers a sophisticated and flavorful menu that justifies the premium cost through sheer quality. If you are looking for an elevated, authentic vegan meal with fresh, premium ingredients, this is an excellent choice; however, if you are strictly budget-conscious or seeking the intense, numbing heat found in traditional Szechuan provinces, you may find the seasoning and price point a bit deficient for your specific needs. I highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try.“

“We ordered a party platter, and it’s absolutely amazing.
The quality of the sushi and rolls is excellent—fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced.
It’s the perfect lunch for our family of four.
Both the kids and the adults were very happy with the meal.
I’ll definitely be ordering again soon. 🍣✨“

“The kids loved it and they even ate“

“I've been going here for years & the food is great & fairly priced. They have a great maki lunch meal with soup/salad & 3 rollls for a decent price. Their bento box is great! You gey to choose 2 meats plus a roll, shumai, rice & tempura veggies and soup & salad. Very good. Even better they a stamp card & you get stamps for every $25 you spend. Once card had has 10 stamps you get a $25 gift card to apply to your next visit. Honestly, lovely staff & calm environment. So glad its a neighborhood staple.“

“If you’re looking for an honest experience at Abis Restaurant, I suggest getting the experience firsthand. I’ve been there myself, and my experience was completely real — in the best way.

From the moment you walk in, everyone is welcoming, attentive, and kind. You can tell they care about the guests, not just about “doing their job.” Service felt warm, not forced — the kind where you feel comfortable asking questions and taking your time.

The food is where Abis really shines. Every dish we had was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. You can taste the quality and the care in the preparation. The menu offers comfort and creativity at the same time, which isn’t easy to pull off. Nothing felt rushed or careless — it felt like food made by people who take pride in what they serve.

The hibachi experience is a highlight all on its own. The chef didn't just cook- he put on a full show. It was fun, interactive, and entertaining without taking away from the quality of the food. Watching the precision, energy, and skill on the grill while the flames go up adds such a great atmosphere to the meal. And the food coming off the grill? Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and served hot and fresh.

Of course, Chef Angelo deserves recognition for the passion and leadership that clearly comes from the kitchen. But it’s also important to acknowledge the other hibachi chefs working that same day. Watching them cook for other tables, you could see the same level of talent, focus, and passion in their performances. It’s clear that the quality and showmanship at Abis isn’t just one person — it’s a team of skilled chefs who truly care about their craft.

And Jay, the owner, deserves recognition too. It’s rare to see an owner so present and involved. You can tell he truly values both his customers and his team, which says a lot about the heart behind this place.

Overall, Abi’s isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a place where hospitality, experience, and quality matter. I’ll definitely be coming back and would encourage others to experience it for themselves.“

“One of the only places around that is Asian food with a nice atmosphere. The dumplings were especially delicious, and the salad and miso soup were especially good. Then the bento box is always fun. The only negative was that the teriyaki chicken could have a little more char on it.“

“I would have gave them 5 stars but I originally wanted the bento box and was told that it was only a lunch special from Mon-Sat which was not stated on the menu. Instead, she recommended a dinner special with the same items for an additional $10. Other than that, the food was amazing 10/10 and so was the service and atmosphere. The waitress was very sweet and attentive. Definitely recommend and will be going back. 👍🏼“

“Great food, awesome lunch specials, drinks are yummy and the service is always so nice and friendly. I go there a lot with my nephew and they always take care of us and so friendly with him and kind ☺️“

“Food was great, nice decor and soothing atmosphere. Very affordable. Had a great time with family.“

“Haikou is a great place! I got the crispy white meat sesame chicken with brown rice and it was very solid and came out nice and fresh. Next time I’ll try General Tso’s because everything looked good. Haikou definitely has my stamp of approval! I approve and recommend for sure.“

“I generally like the food here, I have tried their general tso's chicken, pad thai, scallion pancakes, pork fried dumplings and various sushi dishes which were all quite good. Not a top restaurant but definitely a decent pick and not insanely expensive considering the area it is in. There usually arent that many people eating there if you like a relatively quiet dining experience but I also rated it a 3 for atmosphere as it isn't very lively. Good service, 4 stars for me overall.“

“Very friendly very good food“

“One of the best hot and sour soups and fried crunchy soup noodles I’ve had.

Although a tad bit pricey and could do better with some freebies if you spend a lot besides an Eggroll or soda.

Take out entree portions could be a bit bigger for price as well. I'm sure bigger if you eat in. Flavor of food is great. Fresh and authentic.

Some people could be cold but open up once you break the ice.

Love the goodie bag tea bags and fortune cookies they give.“
