12 Best Japanese Restaurants in Poughkeepsie

“The place is so clean, and the food is beautifully prepared and delicious. Iris was our waitress and she is absolutely lovely! So sweet and personable. She has excellent taste and knows the menu well! She really added to the pleasant environment. Can't wait to come back to try more of her recommendations! ❤“

“Excellant service, very friendly and helpful. Crab salad is much better at this location then the other location, they chop up the crab and cucumber evenly and it balances out. The Green Dragon and Lobster roll were pretty good also. One of the better places for gyoza, very good flavor and texture. If you have kids, get a Shirley Temple for them, nice presentation.“

“Omg when I say the food is so fresh. Ginza cleans their seafood very well I go at least once or twice a week just for the seafood boil. Customer service is amazing they all are so sweet and respectful. Thank you again for such great food Ginza“

“Best place to grab food either for dinner or before the train.“

“Truly the best Japanese restaurant in the area! Food is always so fresh, service extremely attentive! A wonderful family owned establishment! Owners make you feel so welcome and always remember you and what you order! Love this place!“

“Great owner bartender Karen. A must. Great place for motorcycle rescue.“

“Fast & professional service, delicious food.

Shumai filling thoroughly one thing with the dough, doesn't fall apart even if you bite it in half. 🤌🙌✨️

Asked for tea while waiting for my pickup order, they served me immediately.

Usually prefer non-chain spots but this one slaps. Flavor, texture, service, speed all on point.

Also the decor and vibe really feel like you are somewhere else (like Toyko) for a bit.“

“This is my favourite Food Court Restaurant at PG. Their Chicken Teriyaki, Sesame Chicken, Chicken Broccoli, Lo Mein, White Rice & others are flavourful & delicious. Each PG visit ~9of10 times I'd have Little Tokyo & my #2 Pick making up 1/10 would be Taco Bell directly across.“

“My husband and I come here almost every weekend, and without a doubt, one of the biggest reasons we keep coming back is because of Mona. To say shes is awesome is truly an understatement! From the moment we walk in, she greets us with a warm smile and makes us feel genuinely welcome. She always remembers us, is incredibly attentive, and somehow manages to make every visit feel special.
Mona is the perfect example of what exceptional customer service should be. She's friendly, professional, patient, and always checks in to make sure everything is exactly how we like it. Even when the restaurant is busy, she never makes us feel rushed or forgotten. She has such a positive attitude, and it's obvious that she truly cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does.
The food is always great, but Mona's outstanding service is what turns a good meal into a great experience every single time. She consistently goes above and beyond, and her kindness and attention to detail never go unnoticed. Employees like Mona are hard to find, and she is an absolute asset to this restaurant.
If you have the opportunity to be served by Mona, consider yourself lucky—you'll receive some of the best service around. We look forward to seeing her every weekend, and she is a big part of why this has become one of our favorite places. Thank you, Mona, for always making us feel like valued guests. You are truly amazing! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Fabulous sushi place for a small party! Low lighting, but you can still see the menu, friendly and attentive staff, and very excellent food! We had these special rolls (all delicious): Green Dragon, Bikini Bottom, Naruto, Wasabi and the King Kong. Agedashi Tofu appetizer was decent (a bit more oily than expected, but still tasty).“

“This place is amazing and I come here all the time with my boyfriend and my best friend. The staff is amazing and Amanda is the sweetest ever. It’s not super expensive for an entree and it’s always delicious. Definitely my go to place and I always tell people to get food here. The chicken teriyaki is to die for“
