50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Gahanna

“We have ordered several menu items, all superb. Thai Basil, Mongolian Stir Fry, Pepper steak, Szechuan, sushi….no bad choices!“

“Great neighborhood take out restaurant. Chicken lo mein, crab rangoons, and won ton soup is really good. First time getting Mongolian chicken here- ordered medium spicey and that was great but other than that the chicken didnt have much flavor. Have ordered here before and likely will again. Good service and good food.“

“This is by far the best sushi in central Ohio. Able, fresh fish, atmosphere… everything you want out of a good sushi place. And the prices are VERY reasonable for Columbus. Big portions, big hearts. This place is the best.“

“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.“

“Best hibachi in Columbus. I have gone here for lunch consistently for a couple of months, and everytime I eat it in the office someone comments on how good it smells. Each week it seems like another coworker wants to try it and they have never disappointed! Their chicken is always tender and fresh, the steak is legit and their veggies are always perfectly cooked. Cannot recommend it enough!“

“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 )“

“Delicious. Love everything!“

“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.“

“The food is better than other hibachi takeout places. Ordered Shrimp hibachi & Steak & shrimp hibachi with springrolls & egg yolk sauce
Egg yolk sauce was just okay & wasn't expecting mini springrolls but still tasty!
I'd order again“

“We were blown away by the quality of the sushi and the exceptional service at Sushi Factory. The staff were friendly and very attentive, and the food was truly exceptional. 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!“

“Idk why people are leaving less than 5 stars! This was SO GOOD! And the price point you can’t beat! 1 hibachi plate can feed damn near 3 people! It was so good!! I will definitely be coming here more often! And the woman up front was so nice :)“

“The bubble tea is so yummy!! I'm always here 😊 usually once a week“

“Friendly Service and tasty food.“

“Order was ready super fast and the quality is superb! Love all the options available. Friendly staff and clean eat in/out area!“

“The onigiri is absolutely amazing, everything is flavorful and beautifully proportioned. Love the extra mile that they do to for carry out packaging. Very authentic flavors.“

“The service is incredible, and the choices ARE AMAZING!“

“Delicious and fresh! Will definitely order again!“

“We get assorted food, not salty, this is key. We have been to many places and that is one of the main issues, you use salt to add flavor to the spice, not the other way around, very good.“

“YOOOO this place is 🔥🔥🔥 The co-owner was insanely friendly and let me try everything since it was my first time, didn’t even have to ask. He makes all his sauces from scratch and OMG 🤯 Do yourself a favor and give this man some business. You will NOT be disappointed. $7.99 till 4pm too?! Say less 👏“

“Great service - great food! Hot and fresh!“

“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.“

“I ordered a teriyaki chicken kid meal coming with an egg roll and a can of soda. The teriyaki chicken tasted amazing without too much salt and oil. The juicy cabbage improved the taste.
The room was clean. WiFi was available. Service was fast. There were also sushi rolls, daily specials, and lunch specials.“

“Love 💕 the taste, great place to eat!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Soooo good! Came here before walking to Kemba for a concert! I like how Kooma is tucked away to the side. Quiet vibe, kind staff, delicious food. My friend and I were sat promptly and each ordered three rolls. All absolutely incredible! I will be back to try some of their hot items. 🤩“

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

“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!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Teryaki Chicken. Mary who is the Gm was the most wonderful and helpful individual. She makes the place light up! Mary gave me 1000 percent the best done in experience! Thank you Teryaki Chicken and Mary!!!🥰🙌🏼“

“My husband works nearby and forgot his lunch so I ordered from here as it's closeby and he's still talking about the Hibachi a week later! In fact, I just ordered from here again tonight! The people that work here are very nice, the hibachi is really good and so were the dumplings. We got shrimp and
chicken hibachi the first time. It was good, but that shrimp was so good that the hubs asked for only shrimp this time around, with an extra portion of it added.
I'm sure we'll be ordering from here more often. The menu is huge and there's something for everyone. Thanks Hibachi Bento/Golden Donuts! 😋“

“Good Food.“

“I have been all around Columbus looking for a great habachi place to eat and Buckeye Habachi is the best in the city. Best prices and the food looks great, they show you the food before stuffing it in a bag, and itz a nice big plate of good. They are not stingy with the rice or the noodles, im very satisfied and full every single time. No matter which location I go to. And they remember their customers which is a super plus. Don't go anywhere else, go to Buckeye habachi i promise you will be happy“

“Enjoyed my birthday dinner, our Chef Isaiah did a great job, food was delicious! Could have used drink refills a little more often especially with the price of drinks. It’s on the pricey end but with my birthday coupon it helped for sure. Fun special occasion dinner!“

“Here’s a polished, high-relevance Google review you can post as-is, Carl:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
SAKURA Japanese Steak House was an awesome experience from start to finish. The hibachi-style cooking right in front of you makes it fun and engaging without feeling over the top.

I ordered the filet mignon (medium), chicken, and lobster — and hands down, the filet was one of the best steaks I’ve had in a long time. Cooked perfectly, tender, and full of flavor.

Even though the place is big and was very busy, it still felt personal and almost private at our table, which really stood out. Great atmosphere, great food, and a great overall experience.

Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to and recommending to others about this place.“

“Ate a late lunch here with my sister tonight and the service was amazing. Our server (cashier) Kyjuan H. Was amazing and so nice, polite and courteous not mention very fine. As long as he’s working there I’ll definitely be back to spend all my coins. 🫣 The food was definitely good too and fresh.“

“So fresh! I will be back!“

“I went to the soft opening today and was blown away with how great everything was. From friendly counter staff to beyond amazing food! I can’t wait for the Grand Opening because all of my coworkers were jealous when I brought my food back to work. Also excited to take my family there! Great job all around!“
