50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Bronxville

“Dropped in for the first time. Excellent sashimi, killer wasabi shumai appetizer, simply wonderful service! Need to try everything on the menu....“

“Tasty food. Decent prices… Need to try the drinks to give it a double thumbs up lol.“

“One of the best brunch spots in Upper Manhattan! The Latin music sets the perfect vibe, the drinks are on point, and the food is absolutely delicious. The service is super friendly, making sure you have a great time. Perfect place to go with friends, enjoy some music, and just vibe. Definitely my new favorite spot. Highly recommend!“

“The food was generally salty. The first time I went, I ordered the eel rice bowl, but it was so salty that I thought I'd ruined my appetite after enjoying the other appetizers. The staff checked with me and said it was just salty that day. I got free ice cream instead. So today, I went for the hand rolls for the second time, and even the appetizers were a little salty. The hand rolls were delicious. The other dishes were fine, but they were a little salty. It wasn't just me; everyone I went with said the same thing.“

“Just finished a really good meal for a neighborhood sushi place. The fish tasted fresh and the temperature was correct. I ordered two types of special fish: sweet shrimp and chu-toro. Both were very good. Also had the Spicy Girl roll. That comes with the shrimp heads that were cooked and delicious. Certainly a good choice for sushi in the neighborhood and I will be back!“

“Amazingly fresh sushi. Traditional Japanese restaurant with great customer service. Expensive but worth it; better quality than any other sushi place around.“

“Absolutely loved our experience yesterday. The basic omakase was delicious at $38, no hidden charges, and staff were lovely. Only slightly minor quibble was everything seemed a bit rushed and a little less peaceful than other places I've been to, but fair enough at that price. I was also a bit surprised at the rudeness of a customer talking on her phone when the staff were trying to engage her. That's not the restaurant's fault but maybe worth having a sign about using phones less and being in the moment more?!“

“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!“

“Very friendly staff. Food was delicious. Wish we lived closer.“

“Great service, delish is food! Never disappoints.“

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“I absolutely Love This Place. I come here every chance i get, i love the food and the chefs provide cool entertainment 💪🏻“

“The food is incredible! The waiters and waitresses are all very nice, and they make the environment very comfortable and super enjoyable. Matsuyama's open until 10 pm, so it is very suitable for later dinners. The restaurant design itself is also beautiful. Could not recommend a sushi restaurant more!“

“Yummy!!!!! ummmmm!!!!! Thi shrimp platter the sushi!!!!“

“We decided to try this sushi spot under its new ownership—and we’re so glad we did! The sushi was incredibly fresh, and the menu had a great variety of rolls to choose from. My daughter ordered the Udon noodles, which were packed with flavor and served with crisp, fresh vegetables.

The sushi chef even surprised us with a complimentary roll as a thank-you for coming in—it was almost too beautiful to eat! And to top it off, they gave us each a serving of mochi ice cream on the house, which was a perfect sweet ending.

The food, the service, and the hospitality were all excellent. Definitely worth checking out under the new owners!“

“i work in Harlem and this little gem on 124th is fabulous. the food is delicious, the lunch specials are well priced. I have had many lunches and dinners at this place. love love love it“

“Was visiting my godchild and she wanted to eat here. The staff was amazing as was the ramen. Cozy and cool. We went for lunch on a Saturday and we were seated right away. I would definitely go back“

“Our favorite sushi restaurant ever! And if you're not into sushi, there is something for you too - tempura, hibachi, etc. So very delicious and they are so nice there!“

“Food bang average. Hospitality was great though. About ten free shots with the staff - all intoxicated and having a nice party - led to an even better tip. Can’t wait for my next visit although the hangover I can do without. Hasta luego“

“I am a famously fussy eater and vegetarian, so most of the time if my loved ones are getting sushi I either don’t eat at the restaurant or get a small side dish that I can have. At Hajime they had so many options that I could choose from I was very surprised.
I really wanted the fried noodles but it came with chicken and vegetables, but our very friendly waiter said without the chicken was really no problem. I also let him know that I can’t have any spice and he reassured me when I ordered and again when it arrived that there was no spice and he even waited for me to take a mouthful of a food to ensure it was okay for me. I’ve never felt so cared about in a restaurant before and I was so grateful to him for caring about a seemingly fussy girl.

We genuinely had the best time here for my fiancés birthday, and after our entrees they brought us a huge plate of different sorbets with a candle in. We had no idea they were doing this and it was such a thoughtful touch.
I very much got the vibe of a family business that has been around a while, quietly serving the most delicious food. Truly a hidden gem! We have agreed that we will go out of our way to travel the half an hour it takes to get here just for this place. The atmosphere and hospitality is unmatched. Thank you so much!“

“My favorite neighborhood spot in LIC. Staff remember you, your order and are great people. Food-wise - I don’t know better sushi at this price point in the city. Is it omakase counter level? No. But, for a causal spot, this place is excellent.“

“The Umami Bomb is exactly that. the bomb (1990). So good back to pre-pandemic portions and tasty ingredients. Thank God you exist.“

“absolutely delicious service was great .🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤“

“Awesome atmosphere and music ….and the food is a “10” out of “10”!!! Delicious !!!!! The octopus is a definite must have!!!!!“

“Fujinoya has been my family’s top favorite Japanese spot in all of Westchester - aside from Sazan in Ardsley - boasting a delicious authentic menu, kind Japanese staff, and a cozy vibe that’s small yet inviting. The seasonal offerings are always a standout, including the sukiyaki hot pot that’s my all-time fave! 😋 highly recommended“

“Omakase sushi is best quality and everything is authentic and excellent. Clean soothing atmosphere and great service“

“Excellent Asian fusion cuisine and great ambiance-at reasonable prices! Great drinks too!“

“Upscale Japanese cuisine, very friendly staff. For sure one of the best Japanese restaurant in Long Island. I enjoyed!“

“Món ăn Nhật Bản ngon nhất tôi từng nếm thử. Tôi rất khuyến khích. Best japanese food I have ever tasted. I highly recommend.“

“Not only was the server incredibly hospitable, fast service, genuinely welcoming and kind and happy to attend to us in every way, but they stayed open 20 minutes late so my boyfriend and I could finish our delicious date night meal (we didn’t mean to go over but ended up ordering a lot and when we walked in with questionable time before close we made sure it was ok we ate in — server kept telling us to relax and enjoy, was so lovely). Food is so consistently good, I regularly order from here!“

“Was super excited to try some rolls tonight after a 12 hour work day, but unfortunately after 45 minutes of waiting patiently inside for them to be prepared they still were not ready and hadn’t even been started to be made. Staff not entirely apologetic. Asked for refund and won’t be back.“

“First time trying after a friend’s recommendation. We ordered five plates. Wow. Loved every bite. Their food is fresh and delicious. The vegetable gyoza was the best I’ve had. Warm reception at the front counter, even for a take out order. Tucked in the middle of one of the quaintest blocks in New York. Can’t wait to go back.“

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

“Always grabbing take out from here. Everything is good. Great specialty rolls. Really good staple rolls as well their spicy salmon and Philadelphia rolls are great. Their food is always fresh and has some great consistent quality. They are prompt, polite and really worth the buy“

“I’ve been coming to hinode since I was a kid. the sushi is always fresh and tasty. I live 45 minutes away and still take a trip over whenever I want to treat myself to good food. I will be returning in a few days for my birthday.

Also saw someone left a review about there not being a bathroom which made me laugh, there is a bathroom and Ive washed my hands in it every time Ive visited since I was a little girl - they must have the wrong place.“

“Been coming here for years, this place serve good Japanese food and at a decent prices for many years. My favorite is always bento (any bento) and soup.

Also want to add, this is the first Japanese restaurant I ate from. Thus begin my journey to try many different Japanese restaurants for their food and cultures.“

“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.“

“I got a takeout order of the lunch special chicken teriyaki bento box to try this place for the first time. The chicken was really soft and delicious. Under the chicken there is cabbage and broccoli which were both cooked well. The California roll was good - the rice had good flavor, and the avocado was soft. I feel more confident to try their raw sushi now. I'll update my review whenever I get around to trying that.

This place used to be a Chinese store, and around 2022 a new management took over and turned it into a sushi place. it still looks like a regular Bronx Chinese store inside. Unlike other sushi restaurants, this isn't really the kind of place I'd want to sit and eat. But it's great for takeout.“

“I love it!! And the place is clean“

“The food here was fantastic — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was lovely. Our server was incredibly kind and welcoming; truly one of the best dining experiences in terms of service.

However, our meal was disrupted by a group of unaccompanied children who were very loud, constantly changing the restaurant’s music, and playing with the volume to the point it was hard to hold a conversation. One even mentioned their dad owns the building. Another diner actually asked if they were ours because it was that disruptive.

I really hope the owner addresses this, because it’s not fair to the staff or the guests if the children are being truthful about coming three times a week being this disruptive. Otherwise, this place is wonderful and I’d absolutely return when I’m back in the area.“

“I don’t know about the rest of you all, but this is by far, the best Japanese Cuisine place in the Area. Some of the best items from their menu The Angry Dragon Sushi, The Shrimp tempura, and the Spicy Salmon rolls.

Also try the gyoza and the amazing Kani salad (regular or spicy)

Also the presentation is outstanding, and don’t forget to try their amazing Thai ice Tea which is homemade. 100% recommended. 🫶🏻

PS: ask for their Fried Oreo Dessert, you won’t regret it😊“

“Great food and ambiance! You must try it!!!“

“Batka made such fresh, beautiful rolls! Seaweed salad is the bomb. This place is delicious, and the prices are great. You’ll get much better sushi at better prices here than at nearby supermarkets, and you’re supporting a local sushi shop. Go for it!“

“Best Sushi in Yonkers. All the rolls are absolutely fresh and decadent. The quesadillas are excellent as well. A fun mix of Sushi & Mexican. A must go to if ever in Yonkers. I even dare say it is the best sushi in the Bronx. They are located less than 1/3 of a mile from the Bronx border and they deliver to the surrounding neighborhood in the Bronx. The guy who took our order is very amicable. The sushi chef prepares the rolls right in front of you. It was a great experience.“

“Very fresh food great service great prices!!!! Will do again!!!“

“Decent quality sushi with okay value for the all you eat pricing. There are definitely other places around with better quality (and variety) for the same all you eat price. The atmophere/service is okay at best. At least 9/10 of the times I've been for dinner the place is half full at most but they ALWAYS ask if I made a reservation. When I say no, they make it sound like they can barely fit me in. Also, they refuse to serve tap water, they make you buy bottled. Not a bad place overall, but there are better options around.“

“Teriyaki One on Fordham is great! The food is fresh and tasty, and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly and quick, even when it’s busy. The place is clean, and the prices are reasonable. Definitely a go-to spot for teriyaki in the Bronx!“

“I love to eat here and my favorite dish is Pork/chicken Katsu. Always fresh and crunchy,
They cook the best katsu/curry sauce. They cook daily and it is a rich sauce with veggies and meat. Family cooking style. Simple and delicious! Thank you !“

“It’s a tradition in my family!! We always have the best time. It’s local and the people make it special. They were all awesome to my Granddaughter . I’m a customer and a fan.“

“The spicy ramen was amazing, the people were very kind to me, and I felt loved for the first time since my parents left me on the cold, Tony porch of the California fire station. It was thundering and raining and I crawled into miso for protection. They have raised ever since I am now Superman. This is my true origin story.“
