15 Best Japanese Restaurants near Penfield

“This place has the best sushi. Its true you’re going to have to wait. And often wait a long time but it’s worth it. They are a two person show and it’s not rushed.So place an order get a large hot sake or two and wait for the sushi!I have added some photos over the year here below!“

“Service was wonderful and the atmosphere was casual. Both the gyoza and shumai are delicious fried pillows filled with pork mixture and shrimp mixture? Signature Rolls (raw) the King of the Ocean was our favorite and highly recommend!!! Signature Rolls (cooked) Honey Roll was our favorite and both the Snow White and Coconut were tied in second and highly recommend!!!? Thank you Youkoso Sushi?“

“Can’t believe I’ve been living in Webster for three years now and I’ve only just been to here. I got takeout and did a little shopping which was a nice timeburner while I waited for my food. Food is amazing: I got the gyu-don rice bowl and I added some kimchi that I bought separately. So so good!!“

“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!“

“I honestly considered writing a poor review for this place, just so I could keep it less busy for myself, but i'd be doing Chakara a great injustice! The food and service here are absolutely phenomenal! Prices are very reasonable and well worth the product! This restaurant is visually unassuming from the outside, and if you enter while not busy, it is pretty unassuming from the inside. DON'T BE FOOLED!!! This is one of, if not the best sushi/ japenese/ mixed Asian cuisine restaurants I have ever been to! It's truly a hidden gem. It is a perfect place for family, friends, and date night. Sitting at the bar and being served by Andy is always a great time! We are still working our way through the menu but have yet to try something that wasn't extremely well prepared, beautifully presented, and incredibly delicious!“

“Finally ordered takeout, just a few simple rolls (hamachi and a couple spicy ones) and some Nigiri (sake and hamachi). It was wonderful. Very fresh fish. Rice was a great temperature. I’m so grateful this place exists. I wish they were open for lunch.Parking: Small in the back“

“An excellent sushi roll (golden bagel roll), fresh, fried, tasty eel mayo sauce - basically one of the best sushi rolls I’ve had in a long time. The udon pork noodle soup and beef rice bowl were fantastic and generous portions. Highly recommend.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground-level and fully accessible. Lots of accessible parking in front lot.“

“Such delicious sushi!! The servers were sweet and the fish was so fresh. My friend from Hawaii said it was the only place she gets sushi in rochester because it taste fresh like she used to get back home... thats enough to make me keep going back!“

“We got take away. I was good, sadly most of the rolls seem to have a lot of cream cheese as a base. Not my favorite type of sushi. We did find a few really good rolls without it.Avoid the spring rolls. They tasted...... not fresh.We ordered 7 rolls. All really good.“

“Just a door on the outside and it may not look like much, but this place is absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the ambiance was intimate and great. My favorite item was the papaya salad, although the lamb shank was also tender and delicious. Our drinks had very interesting flavors and were quite tasty. The plates here are meant for sharing, but the food is plentiful. We will definitely be back.“

“Decided to check this out. And we left very happy. First off, it's off street parking. We arrived around 5:30 on a Friday night so it wasn't busy yet. We were seated right away and they brought out miso soup and water. There's a QR code on each table that you scan to get access to the menu for online ordering. When they say "all you can eat", they mean it. Only thing not included is drinks which they have an assortment - alcoholic and non-alcoholic. We enjoyed all of our selections except the kimchi was not to our taste. The fried soft shell crab was def a favorite. The bathroom was clean but could use some upgrades.“

“This place is pretty good, the pricing is around average but the food is a bit bland (no taste) but what I ate which was the tonkotusu ramen had no peanuts! So if you have any peanut allergies this place you should consider but you should still ask for your safety.The servers also are very friendly from my point of view.“

“Went here at 530 the other day and had a very good dinner. I would go back again which says something as we are picky about our hibachi. The server was pleasant and quick about getting our drinks and order. The mushroom onion soup was probably one of the best ones we've had at this style restaurant with the French's onions actually still crispy. The ginger dressing in the salad was a little sweeter than I've had before but still as good as this salad is anywhere. We also got the Mexican roll and I can't remember the other, but both were super amazing and delicious - even 2 days later. We all got a variety of the hibachi dinners which everyone enjoyed. I had the sogo which is steak, shrimp, and chicken. Everything was cooked correctly and tasted great. The chef was funny and did well but not super interactive - like not a lot of conversation. Did all the typical tricks and show stuff. My one complaint is that the veggies are not cut smaller. The zucchini, green peppers, and broccoli were all big chunks or florets which meant they didn't get as cooked as say the onions and snow peas. Also the yum yum sauce was a little runnier than expected and didn't seem to stick to everything like I'm used to. Overall, very good and will recommend/ return to.“

“My favorite place to eat in Rochester! The server Tricia is extremely personable and kind, service is very quick. Very good signature rolls and teriyaki style dishes packed with flavor. While there are a few good Japanese places in Rochester this one’s my favorite.“

“This place was so good! The sushi was honestly the best I've had in a very long time. Everything was super fresh, service was super prompt and friendly, everything tasted great. I live in Atlanta and was visiting family when we came here, but I'm now gonna bring my wife for the next trip so we can go here again because I know she'll love this place.“
