18 Best Japanese Restaurants near East Amherst

“They are absolutely fantastic. I’ve never had tempura this good and perfectly cooked. I always order a tempura bento box for lunch. First time it was chicken and the second time it was shrimp. The best part is actually the tempura vegetables that come with it. The onion was like a Japanese onion ring and when you dip with the tempura sauce that comes with your order it is seriously delicious. My other favorite is the tempura sweet potato. I thought it was carrot and I was very pleasantly surprised when it was sweet potato. I love tempura sweet potato rolls so to eat it as just a tempura battered sweet potato slice was amazing. The sweet potato was cooked to perfection where it wasn’t undercooked hard but very soft. I also chose the tuna roll to go with it and I can tell the tuna is pretty fresh since it’s not bright red. Super bright red tuna usually means it’s pumped with a lot of carbon monoxide. That’s how fish is sold so it doesn’t look a little brown like it naturally should. Tuna doesn’t stay fresh very long and should be cooked and eaten as soon as you buy it.

It is also kid-friendly! I went with my baby thinking I’ll just go in, pay for stuff, and head to the next errand but he was so fussy. So I asked them if I could use a booth to feed him and they said yes. I started eating my lunch while I fed the baby with the other hand and I struggled to put everything back so I could leave since I only had one hand. The lady came up to me and asked if she could help and I said yes please. So she placed everything back in the bag and re-stapled it and I was so grateful for them going the extra mile. I unfortunately didn’t have cash to leave a nice tip so I hope this raving review will make up for it!“

“I apologize for my black coworker.
She was very ignorant and she was apparently just being herself. I wish I could afford her a ticket! She's from the Falls so go figure.
I ordered the Mexican roll and ate all (8) pieces lol #1 I love this place“

“One of my favorite new spots for sushi and sashimi. Their pad thai is great also.“

“Service was great, atmosphere was in line with a stipe mall restaurant. Overall everyone in my party enjoyed their sushi and the dumplings were delicious. Pineapple fried rice on the otherhand was fairly bland.

Kid-friendliness: They have a couple of kids menu items“

“They cook right in front of ya lots of food comes with it Very entertaining“

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

“My wife and I have only been a couple times, but it's already an all-time favorite. Atmosphere is cozy and the food is incredible, especially recommend their white tuna.“

“My partner and I absolutely love getting the bento boxes from here. The other food is also really good. But the bento boxes are our favorite. I've tried the beef , chicken, and pork from there and they season them so well. I've been going here for the last 6-7 years and have yet to be disappointed. If you get a bento box, order the fried dumplings. Their dumpling sauce is also really good. They also have a very diverse selection of beverages and boba tea.
Featured in the photos of my recent meal: fried dumplings, rice, small side salad, chicken teriyaki, pineapple boba drink, and a unique flavored green tea.“

“Easily the best food place in the galleria if you're looking for something quick! The service is fast, and the food is delicious and portion sizes are insane for the price! Plus the workers are so kind. Highly recommend chicken teriyaki with noodles and veggies:)“

“Delicious Kimchi Beef Udon!!“

“Really was craving some Katsu, decided to check this place out on a whim and HOLY CRAP. Easily the BEST Katsu Curry I have EVER had. I was FLOORED. It’s been 2 days and I’m still thinking about it. Told my sister and her friends about it too!“

“We came across this nice small Japanese joint while driving past it.
Loved the sushi, and the beef salmon hibachi rice. The serving was big and spicy.
We also tried the Ramen.
The prices were a bit on the pricey side, but given that there is not a lot of Japanese options in town.
Along with the hibachi, we got a side of vegetables. The sauce on it was so goood, we kept having more.“

“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!!“

“Food is always top notch and the service is as well. Very clean and well taken care of restaurant. It's a favorite place for my wife and I to get our food from.“

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

“I really don’t understand why this place is like 2 stars with some terrible reviews. I had some extra meal swipes that I know I won’t be able to finish if I didn’t get some extra meals throughout the day. So I went to this sushi place, because I love sushi, and I had to give it a try. So I the shrimp tempura roll. Obviously it wasn’t made fresh, and it wasn’t the best sushi I’ve had. I’m from New York City, been to many big cities, and many sushi places. So it’s pretty hard to make “the best sushi” for me, especially if it’s not made fresh. But the sushi is still very good! The lady even told me to take a water with my meal since the sushi was $9 and the water would bring it up closer to the meal swipe max. Amazing experience, definitely looking forward to eat more often there!“
