9 Best Japanese Restaurants in Ithaca

“You know when there's a wait outside that your in for a treat and this place did not disappoint.

I ordered the general chicken with broccoli and the chicken. Was crispy and sweet. I like that it wasn't breaded like most asian places. I'd definitely would come back here plus this place was recommended by our air b n b host. Thanks guys!“

“Went here for my daughters 12th birthday with some extended family so there was 7 of us and the hibachi experience was just amazingly fun here at Sumo! I highly recommend! Thank you staff and cooks!“

“Very delicious sushi! 🍣 Would definitely come here again!“

“Went there with my dad :)

The country is destroyed, the country is destroyed, the country is destroyed, and the country is destroyed. I am a good person, I am a good person. The price is just right and the price is right. To sum up, it’s hard to be honest, but it’s okay to cheat.“

“Very friendly and quick service with delicious food“

“Wonderful Food- Just Ask That They Be More Realistic About Prep Time.Their sushi is prepared well and the best deal in town. But you may want to double the time they give you for pick up orders. It's possible that they don't want to tell you the realistic time because it will sound too long. We ordered the Sushi for Two (which is easily enough for four-- and we have big appetites!) It was beautifully prepared-- but they told me 25 minutes and it was closer to an hour. Double the time, and then you will be very happy with this place!“

“A good place to grab a quick lunch in college town. You can order individual items or do bento boxes or build your own plates. I ordered General Tso’s Chicken bento which came with miso soup, rice, dumplings and kani salad (you can also do seaweed salad).
The portion was large enough for two meals and the service was quick.“

“i would actually recomand eating there. 5 stars“

“Looked for another restaurant and couldn't find a space to park and had to dodge the Ithaca's College crowd. We looked and finally on side street, I looked up Google for other restaurants and this one came up. Following the prompts, we arrived at this restaurant. We walked in and were seated where we wanted to, very nice as one of us wanted a table (for easier dining). The General Tao's was so flavorful! Items here I have not seen in Rochester area China buffets. Sushi was great, egg drop soup was excellent. I wish this place were closer!
Parking had handicapp places, easy to walk to without steps.“
