9 Best Japanese Restaurants in Ithaca

“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!“

“This place is a gem! Super lovely staff, clean, smells amazing inside, nice vibes. Went for lunch and got the sushi special to split with my husband-it was some of the best sushi I’ve had in recent memory. The salmon sashimi was especially amazing. We are visiting from out of town and I’m sad we aren’t staying longer so we can come back here-their menu is extensive and everything looks delicious!“

“If you want to have newly made, quick Asian Food (especially Thai & Japanese), Oishii Bowl is the place I always regularly visit.

The taste is really delicious! The price & the portion is reasonable. The quality is good. The atmosphere is clean.

We can order via Kiosk/ Tablet and that’s convenient. They have 2 options: dine-in and take-away. The only thing I would critic is that we cannot add on some proteins in dish, unless you directly contact with staffs (which normally are not there at the counter).

In summary, every thing is good here. Looking forward to coming back for sure.“

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

“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“

“I tried this place out for the first time, and would definitely go again! They had a decent variety - a section of soups and warm dumplings, a section of exclusively Chinese meats/noodles, another section of more American food, and another section of dessert and sushi. I enjoyed the classic egg drop soup, the salmon, mashed potatoes and gravy, and the stuffed mushrooms and crab rangoons. The workers were friendly and welcoming, and I did not pay much at all. Great value!“
