50 Best Japanese Restaurants in Columbus

“We (5 people) ate an early dinner here yesterday. Nice ambiance. We tried a large selection: edamame, ebi shumai, salmon onigiri, fried squid, ebi tempura, miso ramen, chicken katsu bento box, tonkotsu ramen, teriyaki don, red bean ice cream and sasadango. Everything was delicious. Our youngest liked it so much, we’re coming back for their birthday. Our server Natalie was wonderful also.“

“I often come to eat here at Tensuke during my visits to Columbus. Last Wednesday, while me and my family were passing through the area during a road trip, we decided to stop here for dinner. The food here is warm, delicious and authentic, and there is good selection, as well. (We especially loved their new Chashu Rice Bowls, a must-try here!) The restaurant has a very nice, modern, bright and well-decorated atmosphere, and the service is great, with friendly, attentive staff. Overall this is a great Japanese restaurant, and we will be coming back to eat here next time!“

“Food was delicious and service was great!“

“1st time here very good food“

“very good food, large portion and excellent cust service 👌“

“It was Valentine's Day, and City Barbecue was about to close because they didn't have enough food. Wow!My daughter wanted to go there but that wasn't happening. I mentioned Hibachi Express, and she was fine with it.We ordered the food, and it took a while, but it was ok because it gave me and my daughter time to talk.They are usually prompt with the food.My daughter was very pleased with her shrimp and salmon ? and I was good with my chicken and shrimp.“

“This restaurant was a lovely Hibachi fast food place. The lady was welcoming with big smiles. The room was clean with many Jesus’s words decorations. I ordered the hibachi steak. Its price was great and the steak quality was not bad. Medium was a good temperature for me. The entree came with tasty cabbage and fried rice. It cost extra money to add more veggies or sides.“

“there food is good I have had it 3 times and I loved it“

“This isn't a place I would choose to eat unless I want noise and no tables. The food, however, is better than Gengigo. The meat is fresh tasting, cut against the grain, and not filled with grissel. Served with an egg fried rice, side of cabbage, and 2 sides of sauces. *Please comment for any allergies. They might be able to make suggestions. You can opt not to get the cabbage too. There's a lot of customized choices available. It's a large portion that is filling, flavorful, and healthy. Would highly recommend to most.

Dietary restrictions: Ask. Allergens could be a challenge.

Kid-friendliness: I would order ahead or come back at the given time for it to be ready.“

“Service was kind, quick, accurate. the atmosphere was very chill. The food was immaculate. Great prices too! Will definitely come again!!“

“So, not only is this place quick and cheap with some delicious food, but also—you know how most hibachi places will give you a little bit of everything? Not this place, they will give you more food than you know what to do with for—including the delivery fees—$20. Everytime I have a day off, I order there. It’s my favorite place to order from.“

“Delicious. Love everything!“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The food at Domo is excellent! Sushi is fresh and tasty, menu is creative, and the atmosphere is fun! We recently celebrated there with a big group, and everyone raved about the food and had such a great time. Staff was attentive and friendly too! So happy we chose Domo!“

“Went for lunch had the steak and shrimp it was very tasty. I could take or leave the yum yum. The ginger sauce was delicious. But the food was so good it didn't need any sauce. The portions are huge. Also had the crab rangoons they were delicious too.“

“Best best place in town oh my God this is the first day I ever been here. Customer service is excellent. The food is excellent. Everybody in there is so grateful. They are so blessed to have a place like this. I was all Restaurant would like this week my parents there was 100 and 1,000,000%.“

“Delicious and fresh! Will definitely order again!“

We will be recommending this spot to everyone we know! We have been going here for years but things have gotten EVEN better and the food was beyond delicious. Highly recommended!!! 10/10!“

“No se eeekdjdbebevevenebbeb“

“First time dining. Crab Rangoon was incredible. Mongolian Beef Delish and Seaweed Cucumber Salad was fantastic. Generous portions“

“I love the lady at the front - she's phenomenal ☺️ this place has the best rice -lawwwwddd it's cooked just right - they are literally the best hibachi place I've had in a while !! 5stars ! ( Try it you will NOT regret it )“

“Great atmosphere and my drink was delicious! I ended up sticking around the order food as well, which was bomb!“

“the trio is legitimately like 5lbs of food... maybe more lol. It really is the best, most flavorful hibachi all around Columbus.“

“We had a VIP after party event at the Switch. Everyone at Crafted for You was great to work with and the event was enjoyed by all of our guests. Nice venue!“

“Absolutely amazing food and the sushi is the best I’ve had by far.“

“Listen this is not the absolute best hibachi you're going to have but it is good and the staff is very friendly. I got chicken, shrimp, and veggies for $13.00 and it was enough food to have two meals so it's an absolute great deal!“

“The staff here was amazing! So friendly and warm. The food was so good, I can't see myself having sushi anywhere else in Columbus for a LONG time!“

“This place is UNREAL! I look forward to coming everytime I am in town for work. Usually I dine in but decided for takeout this time. The Erin roll is my go to plus classic Philly and Alaska rolls. Tried the chicken dumpling soup and it is so delicious with a rich beef broth. Great value for what you’re getting. Even better service!“

“Went here for a company lunch outing and overall had a great experience. The food and service were both solid—our party of 8 was well taken care of, and everyone enjoyed their meals. Our chef was friendly and entertaining, doing all the classic hibachi tricks and gags. While not quite as impressive as some chefs I've seen at other Japanese steakhouses, he still made it fun. The only downside was that they were actively training staff at the table directly behind us during our lunch, which felt a bit out of place and slightly distracting. Otherwise, a good spot for group dining.“

“I hope im on the right page!!! If this is the Teriyaki Express on West Broad St on the Hilltop in Columbus Ohio, WOWWWWW!!!

First time there and will be back!! Older black gentleman helped me since it was my first time coming and gave me a sample before I ordered. Super sweet and professional wish I would of gotten his name.

The food OMGGGGGG DELICIOUS!!! THEY NEED THEY ZZA BEAT THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD!!

WILL BE BACK FOR SURE!!! I LOVE MY HILLTOP SMALL BUSINESS FAMILIES 🥰🥰🥰

UNTIL NEXT TIME FRIENDS!!!“

“The food is so yummy! My go to Japanese restaurant!!! Hands down the best! Great staff always so nice and accommodating!“

“Amazing sushi and great staff! Definitely come check it out“

“Love this place. Highly recommend the shrimp gyoza and pineapple sticky rice. Everything here is great though.“

“Order Take out here quite often. Haven’t tried everything on the menu but the Honey Chicken is fantastic. My go too is the Honey Chicken, Chongqing Noodles, and Crab Rangoon. This could feed a family of four for $40. As far as Asian Cuisine in the area I haven’t found anything quite better. They are always friendly when I arrive and seem like a great team earning an honest living. Will definitely come back when I’m craving that Honey Chicken!“

“In town for a wedding and looking for a fun family dinner. Our 8 year old loves hibachi, other picky eaters in the family. Had a GREAT time. Food, entertainment from chef and service all excellent. My 3 year old is not a fan of the fire and eats almost nothing, server brought her ice cream when he saw she was not eating. Above and beyond thank you!“

“This sushi place had a beautiful dining room and great food. Their happy hour menu was changing every weekday. Monday and Tuesday had some sushi deals. Wednesday and Thursday had drinks deals. I tried their Rishi ramen and nigiri pieces. The eel nigiri was impressive with grilled bbq sauce. The squid one was mediocre. The ramen was a little bland without protein. There were spinach and mushroom, and the ramen had a good quality. My servers were great. The price was a little high. WiFi was not available.“
