20 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!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 💕“

“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.“

“It's an alright chinese restaurant. Real selling point is they're open after 7 downtown, which is more than can be said for literally any other "restaurant" that proposes to exist.

The food's just ok, but it's fine, the folks are friendly enough if you talk to them. There was a problem the other day where the card machine wasn't working -- it put two holds on my card! The consequence being that I couldn't pay with the card, and due to the holds I couldn't withdraw money to pay. But they gave me the food on credit, I just came back the next day and was able to pay with my card and retrieve the failure receipts to show my bank -- the holds were gone within a few days anyway.“
