19 Best Japanese Restaurants in Rochester

“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.“

“Service and food were fantastic. The food was delicious and full of flavor. Every bit of meat was tender and the vegetable spring rolls were light and crispy. Absolutely will be back!!“

“one word... AMAZING! This small, unassuming restaurant has what might be the best sushi in the area. The menu is mostly sushi/sashimi and is made from the best quality fish. Thank you Shiki for having real spanish mackerel, and proper toro.

Don't forget to end your meal with a little of their homemade ice cream, the red bean is my favorite. Though, the matcha is excellent.“

“First time and was surprised! Ordered apps., fried rice, egg roll. All lightly fried not greasy at all. Reasonable prices. Fast friendly service.“

“Had lunch at Honshu Hibachi today ,also the last day in Rochester, they stir-fried the chicken right on the teppan grill in front of us — felt like dinner and a show.
Ha..not sure if the owner adjusted the flavors a bit for us fellow Asians… and not gonna lie, it worked. Delicious!“

“We love Taste of Japan!!!“

“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!!“

“Spectacular Sushi, beautifully crafted, served exceptionally.“

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

“I LOVE THIS PLACE! The food is amazing and it’s a great environment to sit and chill. I switch up what I order but last time I got the Sea World roll and I think it was my favorite one I’ve had so far. The quality is amazing. I would have to say one of the best parts about E.suki is Cham. She works the front and she is absolutely amazing and the sweetest person you will ever meet. If you have been here you have met her and you know what I mean. She deserves a raise!“

“Excellent food, service & ambiance.“

“I came here on a recommendation from a friend. It was very good but not great. I ordered a rum cocktail that was delightful along with a papaya winter salad and duck ragout special. I sat at the bar. The place was jam packed with people. The salad took almost 40 minutes to arrive and the meal took an hour. That was understandable given the crowd. The salad had amazing flavors but was just a bit too spicy for me. I like spicy too but this was more than I like. The duck ragout special was delicious but way too salty. I am also a salt lover so this was surprising. The waitress comped my drink which was nice because of the wait. I really want to go again because there were lots of things I want to try. I just need to plan a much more leisurely dinner and go with a friend. It was too dark to read a book.“

“Gosto do Osaka mas hoje tive uma experiência ruim no delivery, os pratos quentes estavam frios e os fritos estavam murchos, não sei se os produtos são fritos no começo da noite ou se o restaurante liberou o pedido antes e não atualizou o delivery liberando para ir buscar, tanto que após 30 min de ter ido buscar o aplicativo estava mostrando a mesma coisa “pedido em preparação”. Só um aviso para se atentaram mais ao delivery!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I celebrated my Birthday there last night. Food is great. Server was excellent and very accommodating. Loved the Hibachi experience and my spicy tuna was Excellent.“

“I ordered 1 pt roast pork with mixed veggies. It was really good and cheap. The vegetables were very fresh and lightly cooked. The soy sauce was gluten free. I loved my dinner.

The decor is stark, only two tables, and a homeless woman was sitting at the other table. It’s in an unattractive area.“

“We love going here! We have a small toddler (under 2) and shes always treated like the guest of honor. Laney is a literal angel, the light she casts is infectious and she is just a joy to be around.
The chef is always fun, inclusive and gives an amazing show! He even cut our toddlers meal up smaller and included her in the rice catch. She was enamored!

We cannot recommend this place enough, portions are fair for price, drinks are good, vibes are immaculate.

Thanks again for a wonderful night 💕“
