Japanese Restaurants near Pelham

“Quick dinner and a drink at Yumi Asian Bistro in Pelham Heights, NY. I stumbled here one night while on the hunt for Sushi and while they dont serve that, I found a gem. I skipped the Hibachi in favor of the bar to get a drink and watch the NBA Finals matchup. The service here is always great. They have a Watermelon Martini that will keep me coming back, especially when made by Alex, the bartender with gifted hands. I stuck to my norm this time and got the Chicken and Shrimp Hibachi with Fried Rice. Add the Siracha sauce to your rice for thag extra spice and kick!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Our dinner at Minato was amazing! I was truly impressed by the ambience and serenity of the garden area, with beautiful lighting and a fountain. The staff was incredibly kind and informative as they fielded all of our questions, and even were open to adjusting our order based on our preferences.

Highly recommend the assorted fish flight and salmon flight, and the teas which came in beautiful pots!!“

“New kid on the block . Food is fresh but lacks taste . Presentation is excellent but need a little upbeat. We arrived without reservation at 8pm and They told us all seats are booked for 9 . We insisted and got seat and left at 830 way before next group arrived.

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian dishes

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access“

“I had the steak soba. Outstanding. There was jazz music playing, but not too loud. The lights were dim but not too dim. Service was excellent. I will definitely be coming back.

Vegetarian options: I'm nit a vegetarian but I did notice some obvious vegetarian dishes.“

“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“

“It's been years coming to parsley, I mean how can you not come here. Let me explain to you that this woman all by herself is managing this place. From Onigiris to Tuna Don, Maze Gohan as well as ramen soups. I mean everything is so perfect. She has a great selection of sake to die for as well as beer. Without mentioning that there is a variety of Wines. Excellent for Dine in and takeout. Overall, a great place for dates, as well as coming alone. You will not be disappointed.

Vegetarian options: Tofu soup, Vegetable Gyozas, vegetables Onigiris.“

“It is not often enough that great atmosphere and ambience pair together with great food, but this place has done just that.

Since their renovations last year the quality of everything from the plates to the whole interior design has improved. Not only that but the food is one of the best in the neighborhood.“

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

“I’ve been gatekeeping this place for so long!!! The food is amazing and fresh. I always do a build your own bowl and am able to fully customize a poke bowl to my liking. They also have ramen and different rice bowls. The pricing at this place is so affordable for fresh tuna and salmon. I’m used to paying over $20 for the servings they provide. Their prices range from $11-15. A nice Chinese family owns the restaurant and are always so wonderful to their customers and genuinely remember the regulars. Their restaurant is always impeccably clean. Never garbage around, tables clean, and cute decor. My go to for poke!!!!!“

“Top notch sushi in a traditional Japanese sushi bar. Not glitzy, but for me it's all about the sushi. Service is fantastic, my green tea cup never got below half full before they were topping it up. Even the green tea and miso soup were really good and full of flavor, well above average.“

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

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious, food is amazing, if your able to sit down and eat it's a nice spot to do so. But because the food is good, it gets pretty packed. Great prices for alot of food. And the Fried chicken Dumplings are great. I ate them so fast I didn't take a picture. ? ?“

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

“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.“

“Brought my parents here for dinner. I ordered chirashi (sashimi style fish over rice), my dad ordered a sushi combo, and my mom got the broiled mackerel (saba). Food was delicious and the atmosphere was great — restaurant is nicely decorated and they were playing soft jazz music in the background. Service was friendly and prompt, I also had the opportunity to order our meals in Japanese which was a lot of fun. All in all, Fujinoya is my favorite Japanese restaurant in Westchester and I would highly recommend it!“

“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!“

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

“My partner told me this was the best sushi place ever, so they brought me here. After trying their Sakura roll and honey truffle roll, I can confidently say that I have surpassed the human form and ascended into heaven. This is the BEST sushi I have tried. The setting is very cute and the waitress is very kind. I highly recommend coming and trying the honey truffle roll!“

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

“Fogama is my favorite Japanese restaurant in Westchester or in New York. Excellent sushi and plenty of cooked choices too. They al ays have some amazing specials. I have been going to this restaurant since it opened and it gets consistently better and never disappoints.“

“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😊“

“Accommodating service but the food- none of it was particularly good.Steak wasn’t the greatest cut or quality. Chicken was flavorful enough so perhaps that’s the star of the show. Tempura wasn’t comparable quality to other places in and around NyC at a similar price point. Ginger salad was decent, fried rice was mediocre.Unfortunately nothing impressed enough to have me want to come back but that’s as a non sushi eater so I leave 4 stars because this place seems highly rated by those who enjoy sushi and I don’t want to significantly impact their rating for something outside of their namesake.“

“This a very cool Japanese place on the east side of 125th street in Harlem. They have been here for years. Recently I happened to be passing through and decided to see what was up again. To my surprise they added some very tasty new menu items. I had a delicious spicy grilled salmon roll. A katsu chicken plate. A shrimp tempura roll( who doesn'tlove those), and a spicy grilled chicken roll and a French roll D-damn-licious!!!! The only thing i had i was not a fan of was these chicken wings. I'm sure plain they would've fine. But they put them in some type of sauce that was not very pleasing. Hard pass on the wings charlayyyy....lol. outside of that everything else was Grade A.

Vegetarian options: You can pretty much create your own vegetarian dishes from what they offer.“

“Oko is by far one of the best sushi restaurants I have ever dined in. It is also my favorite restaurant in Westchester. I eat out almost every night so I am very picky when it comes to restaurants. Sit at the bar and Birk will take care of you. He is super knowledgeable in the menu and on all different types of spirits.“

“5/25/24Visited with family today at 4pm. Everything was excellent! Lina made our day a very special one . Her service smile and personality was wonderful. The food was great!!! We must return and recommend her services.2023 I Wanted to just chill out after a hard day at work. It was the best atmosphere calm and relaxing. Everything was just what I needed. Service, Ambience, Food, Music and of course the Company. Thank you for a great night.“

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

“Delicious sushi, reasonable price, immaculate atmosphere and warm friendly staff.“

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

“Great place“

“This is basically my local sushi spot and it's not bad. I've also enjoyed their Katsu and Teriyaki.
Most of what I've had was pretty good however the location is meh. I'm probably getting 3 rolls tomorrow. This isn't a dine in kinda spot, I've packed up my order or had it delivered.“

“Authentic Japanese cuisine Family owed Clean Excellent service and friendly“

“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.“

“I feel a need to respond to the crazy person who complained about the bathroom issues experience at Hinode. The people that own and run, this restaurant could not be more accommodating, helpful, and generous. Your experience had absolutely nothing to do with the outstanding quality of their food and service. If you have enough time to write that completely unrelated review and post it. Then you should find the time to consult with a physician and address your own personal bathroom issues. Regardless of your situation, ultimately they were kind enough to allow you to use their restroom.“

“Food is fresh and presented beautifully. A bit on the expensive side but the quality of the fish is superb. I recommend salmon avocado salad and salmon carpaccio, especially the latter.“

“Good quality food at a nice neighbourhood joint. Came on a quiet Sunday about an hour before closing and there was one other table the whole time we were there. Service wasn't great perhaps after a long day but the food was good. Duck salad has heavier flavour from the duck and hoisin sauce paired with crisp leaves, chirashi fish was fresh though the rice was a bit hard and the udon noodle soup was warm and flavourful. Kitchen closed before we could try a dessert!“

“Go. If you Love Sushi. Yahao gets it more than right! Food is exceptional. Sushi ordered so wonderfully dang fresh , clean and robust. We ordered even more. I had gotten an order of soba noodles with beef. Excellent flavor! Our servers were patient , polite and helpful. We had a very enjoyable night. Kanpai 🍶 😊🍱🍣“

“Chefs are very good at entertaining! Not only that, but the food was amazing and definitely worth your time and money there. I hope to bring my family and friends there more often.“

“This is the place if you want authentic, high quality, Japanese food. The small dishes on the separate menu are really delightful.

Prices reflect food quality. Be prepared to pay for the best all around Japanese food in the area. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

They run it like fine dining, not like a casual sushi bar. So they have strict rules around noise, noisy kids, and cell phones. Don't expect to bring your kid and set him up with an ipad with the volume on. Seems reasonable. No outside food, no exceptions. Seems reasonable.

The servers were polite, no issues in this department.

A real gem of a restaurant.“

“I love it!! And the place is clean“

“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.“

“Yummy food and very clean“

“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!“

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

“We came here with Mommy and her aide. It was a nice little place. This is not a traditional Japanese restaurant, but it serves pretty good Japanese food. Lunch has good value due to their bento box. Winnie and Sherry served our table, and they were lovely to talk to. I had yaki udon. Mommy had salmon teriyaki. Her aide had a tempura box. Hubby had a katsu box. The ginger dressing for the salad was awesome. Each bento box includes a California roll but my noodle came with it too. Overall, the experience was pretty good. We don’t mind coming back.“

“such a lovely, clean, homely atmosphere and the vegetarian sushi is fabulous - we tried all veg varieties. appreciate that the dishes served are in ceramic and not melamine. small things matter.

Vegetarian options: the ramen broth is veg“
