12 Best Japanese Restaurants in Dayton

“One of the best restaurants ever! The previous and current owners are just the best...like family. All food is always good; we always get the Korean dishes and service workers are so nice. Come and taste the food!“

“The people that are running the place are so sweet and accomodating! The drinks were delicious! There are so many choices to choose from. The lady who took my order told me that if I didn’t like the drinks that I ordered she could remake something else I might would like instead as they are new and still trying to get the measurements right with the recipes but there was no need, they were so good! Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed! 🫶🏼“

“I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently amazing--always fresh, perfectly prepared, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients and care. I especially love their sushi rolls, which are always creative, fresh, and beautifully balanced.

The pricing is very fair for the quality you receive, and the service is excellent. The waiters and waitresses are attentive, friendly, and professional every single time I visit. The manager is also outstanding--extremely helpful and clearly runs a well-organized, welcoming business where everything flows smoothly.

Beyond the food and service, the atmosphere is a huge part of why I keep coming back. It’s a chill, cozy, and comfortable space with soft lighting and calm, tasteful music, making it perfect for relaxing dinners, or just unwinding after a long day.

Every visit is consistently enjoyable, and I truly appreciate the attention to detail across the board. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for high-quality sushi, great service, and a peaceful, inviting atmosphere. It’s one of my all-time favorites.“

“I haven't been here but I watched the ramen challenge there on Molly Schuylers page and I hope y'all changed your rule about not being able to put ice in it to cool it down or letting them wait a couple minutes to let it cool even because that could be very dangerous to someone's body and could potentially mean trouble for your restaurant so I hope you modified your rules to make it safer during challenges. Food looks amazing though!!“

“Good portions and pretty tasty except that the rice was overseasoned with vinegar and very overwhelming. I assume this was just a mistake as I've /never/ had sushi where I could taste the vinegar like that. Hopefully it won't be so bad if I decide to give it another chance.“

“Very interactive and fun!“

“we love CJ Chans!! After this craziness is over and you open back up I swear we're eating nothing but CJ Chans for a week!“

“Love the Hot Sexy Roll and BYOB rocks on $$$ savings!“

“excellent food, The hibachi grill is top-notch, would recommend it to anyone.“

“The food was delicious and everything was perfectly cooked. The snow crab clusters were huge. Tried the special house sauce as im an original cajun mild girl, and it was bomb. Love how it all stuck to the food. My waitress (Alisha R) was great. She took time to explain the difference in sauces and constantly checked on me to make sure I was ok. She made my experience amazing, and she deserves a raise! Hands down the best seafood I've had.“

“Food is always amazing. Highly recommend!“
