19 Best Japanese Restaurants near Penfield

“Words can't really describe how good this place is. I refuse to eat Sushi at any other location. I have still not found any place that's better let alone close to the quality of the food that Sushi King serves. Their service is a little slower because of the time it gakes to make their masterpieces. The service is not their strong point, but I assure u that the food highly makes up for it and is well worth the wait. Please disregard the service as they are totally family run and they do their best to serve you. Trust me, when u eat, it will be well worth it. Places like this should be protected at all cost and people should support this business at all cost. Been going there since 2012!“

“Fresh and delicious! Looking forward to our next visit 🍣“

“Some of the best sushi in Rochester. Everything is clearly made to order and always very fresh. My husband doesn’t typically like sushi, but he loves the Samba roll. Volcano roll is another great one. But the seared tuna appetizer might be our favorite! This has become our go-to place for date night.“

“I got a Shrimp bento box here. The shrimp was perfectly cooked.

The description didn't include the 2 dumplings that were included, so that was a nice surprise. It also had a very small portion of some sort of cucumber side, which also wasn't noted in the description.

It also came with a spicy tuna roll. It wasn't the greatest roll I've ever had, but I thought the price was very fair.

The salad was crisp and fresh.

The dumplings had lost a bit of their crisp because they were sitting in soy sauce - honestly, I preferred it - I know most probably wouldn't.

The miso soup was excellent. It did have tiny pieces of tofu in it, which I thought was low quality, but they were so tiny, and so limited, I don't imagine anyone would notice them if they were not focusing on them.

I'm no expert on white rice, but I thought it was fluffy and very good. It certainly wasn't dried out at all, which would be a huge turnoff for me.

From paying to getting my food, it was about 10 minutes. For a what appears to be a mom and pop type restaurant, I thought this was very reasonable.

They seem to be criminally unknown. Very slow. I am going to have to go back and try some different things to get a fair rating.

The staff (the individual I interacted with) was very friendly, and there was no accent barrier, which I struggle with sometimes.

When I asked how long they have been around, I was told about 12 years. Despite being on a major road, I had no idea they existed. This place is definitely on my radar now, though.

I would give it a solid 4.5 stars. Atmosphere brings it down to a 4 star overall, but I really don't care about atmosphere if the food and price are good, which it was here. And let's be honest - most of their business seems to be takeout.“

“My boyfriend and I have been coming here for four years of our undergrad and will be so sad to leave Shiki when we graduate, it is our favorite restaurant of all time. Our favorites are the salmon sashimi, the tamago, unagi, and chirashi. Super recommend Shiki for anyone who likes authentic sushi!!!“

“I'm not sure I agree with the claim that it is the best sushi in Rochester, but I will say that I think it's among the best sushi VALUES in this area. Overall the food was very good. We ordered a Bento Box A, edamame, two rolls and an order of dumplings. The Bento Box A was simply a massive amount of food. It could easily be split between two people. The salad and soup are standard fare and reasonably forgettable, but definitely not poor quality. The five pieces of sushi and the California roll were fresh, well made and tasted great. The dumplings were delicious. We set aside the teriyaki chicken as a snack to have another day because there was simply too much food to have at one sitting, and the vegetable and shrimp tempura were very very good. We got our food to go but went in to get it. The interior feels a little rundown, but appeared to be clean and was comfortable. I would definitely order food from them again.“

“The menu is impressive, the food is artistic, and the staff goes above and beyond your expectations🥰🥰👏🏼🫶🏼🙏“

“We always have an excellent meal at Fish Face!! The house fried rice is out of this world and pork belly buns are as well. Such a gem in Irondequoit!!“

“amazing food. always fresh. I am so addicted to their dumplings. taste so much better than Chinese buffets“

“Every time I come to E. Suki the experience is truly awesome! It’s such a great place to catch up with a friend, celebrate a friends birthday, family dinner or even a solo meal! I recently went to celebrate my friends birthday and the food was super delicious and the server Cham was very nice and she was so kind and sweet to me and my friends! She even came to our table to celebrate my friend's birthday and singing along with us, it created a memory my friend would never forget, and my friend was truly grateful afterwards! Me and my friends all agreed that the food was amazing! I would definitely go back again to E. Suki!“

“Spectacular Sushi, beautifully crafted, served exceptionally.“

“Our go-to for sushi and Asian pear martinis.“

“Wow! Thank you! Such a great date night. I called early in the day on a Saturday and they were pretty full with reservations but I asked about coming right at 5 and they got us in. I wish I could remember the bartender/waitresses name, Jess I think?!? She was AMAZING! The entire place filled up so quick and she just danced around and was so pleasant! She was a whole vibe! The rest of the service staff didn’t come until closer to 6 and all the tables and bar were full. She didn’t skip a beat. She recommended my new favorite roll of all time, south beach. I also ordered the sushi bar salad and asked if we could get an extra bowl. They split it and presented it so beautifully! I wish I had a picture. This is also now my all time favorite. I can’t wait to get back. Seriously addicted! Thank you guys. We needed a dinner date and this was beyond what we had hoped for. Yum! See you guys soon!“

“This is a really fabulous sushi spot nestled in Village Gate. They have a nice mix of standard fare and really creative rolls. Our favorites are Sunny Day and Sweet Potato Tempura, though everything we've tried on multiple visits is fantastic and fresh. They also have a really interesting and tasty Seaweed Duo Salad. For the non-sushi eater, don't hesitate to order their ramen. It is wonderfully prepared. Service has also always been friendly and fast. Special requests were accommodated with a smile. Prices are reasonable and the portions are good. If the weather is nice, enjoy dinner on their patio. This is one of our favorite spots in the city. It will not disappoint!“

“Thank you for the amazing Chinese food so good and I don't get sick from eating it. The only Chinese place around here I haven't gotten sick from. So delicious! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Very happy with what I have ordered recently.“

“Some of the best food in roc. The Swan family always kills it!! Best staff best atmosphere and I heard they’re doing private parties now. I will definitely be booking soon! Definitely encourage reservations if you have more than 2 people and make sure to order a drink & dessert because they’re also so great!

Favorite dishes:
Wagyu skirt
Pad Thai
Sticky rice“

“The food is great and the location is nice, but don't get takeout from them: they forgot my miso soup and rice (which came with my meal), and put avocado in a dish they said didn't have it (my mom is allergic). For $61, I would hope for more consistency.

Make sure you can send your meal back when getting food from here. Otherwise, this is the best Japanese restaurant in Rochester after Shiki's decline.“

“The food was very good! It was the best part about it. I tried to make a hibachi reservation for some coworkers and they said they could only do 1 check for 8 people. I declined reservation. We went as walk in and sat at a regular table and they were able to split checks. I was surprised to see none of the hibachi areas being used. The restaurant has a very open area and something felt off. I realized there was no music. It felt like you could hear everyone else's conversations. They did turn up music at my request which was nice. Overall great food and mostly friendly staff. Hostess was having an off day.“

“Great food and great wait staff! Just be careful to ask about their “service fee” which is really just the gratuity already added onto the bill. I didn’t ask what that was and ended up tipping twice accidentally. Other than that - it was great!“
