15 Best Japanese Restaurants near Vails Gate

“Always a great time at Joa Joa. Delicious food and friendly service.

My family’s go to order is the kimchi soup with a side of rice. It never fails to bring comfort and nourishment with every spoonful! To top it off: Michelle is the sweetest waitress with charming attention to detail and hospitality! :) We’re always looking forward to her service“

“Love this place I drive all the way from New Windsor just to eat here. The food is so delicious we always go for hibachi and the sushi rolls. We order lo mein instead of rice and they always accommodate. It’s a cute little hole in the wall place but the service and atmosphere is top notch. Everyone is always so kind and go above and beyond. My son can be a little loud when he talks and is always asking questions they always respond and are willing to answer all his questions. Take out or dine in you can’t go wrong the same amount of care goes into all their dishes 100/10

Parking: Parking is right in front of the restaurant there’s a small lot but enough to accommodate as the restaurant is small. No stairs or anything leading into restaurant so it’s good if you have a stroller or wheelchair

Kid-friendliness: There’s no kid’s menu but they do offer chicken nuggets and other kid friendly options. The staff was so nice to my kids they made sure there experience was as good as everyone else’s.“

Great place, great food and great vibes. The staff works as a team and that’s rare in this economy. 10/10.“

“This place was packed when we arrived but we were able to get a table. The staff here make this place the best place in the area. They are so kind, so friendly, and so wonderful. We got a house appetizer that was so good, I don't remember what I was eating but I wanted a full plate of it. They have sushi as well as some decent looking food from the kitchen. I had sushi and it was good. Fish felt fresh.“

“Fun place for a birthday! Delicious Yum Yum sauce“

“This is by far the best sushi place i have ever been to. Everything was fresh and you could tell that the man making it is a master of his craft. You can taste the passion that he puts into the dishes. I ended up ordering twice because the food was just that spectacular. Makes me wish I wasn't just visiting the area and that I lived down the block because I would eat here everyday if possible. The portions you get for the price is unbeatable as well“

“Their curbside ordering service is just as good as their indoor dining service! You can order through DoorDash, Uber eats, Menufy or Grubhub.“

“the service is awesome and the food is delicious We love the Manhattan roll“

“Isamu provided a solid dinner meal that didn’t break the bank but also won’t be memorable. Their sushi is likely the best in Beacon but without much competition, that’s not as high praise as you’d think.
I also wasn’t a huge fan of the idea that some takeout combos are cheaper than their exact dine-in counterparts.“

“so fresh. poké bowls incredible. service excellent.“

“Loved the miso ramen! Fun trivia night!“

“Service was amazing! The ambience is so tranquil. My tuna tataki was very fresh and loved the salads, that dressing was delicious. My steamed pork dumplings were not as tasty as I've had in other establishments. My husband really enjoyed his beef Negamoki and spicy beef bulgolgi, will dine here again!“

“Everything was perfect!!! The staff is always so nice & friendly. They cater to your needs. I didn’t even have to ask for a refill, for more napkins, for Togo containers, etc. They cleaned everything up so quickly. The food is always delicious and cooked fresh. We love it here! Thank you for great food and an amazing experience.“
