34 Best Japanese Restaurants near Hilliard

“Food was yummyyyyyyy!!!!“

“My son and I visited this location this past Sunday, and we were not disappointed. All the dishes we had were wonderful. This was some of the best asian cuisine we have had in quite sometime. Nothing was greasy or overly salty. It was also one of the better restaurant experiences we have had in a few months. The staff was friendly and attentive.“

“I cannot recommend Song Lan more! I cannot believe this evening was my first time stopping in. I’ve been meaning to check it out for quite some time. However, I organized a meetup for dinner at North Market before a comedy show in Bridge Park and North Market was unexpectedly closed for a private event. A friend and I went separate ways to find a place that could get 10 of us in last minute. The staff was so kind and sat us in a beautiful back room. Our waitress was so kind, the atmosphere was perfect, and the food was out of this world amazing! Cannot wait to go back!“

“We really enjoyed our dinner for my son's birthday! Food was delicious. They were short staffed, but our server was so kind. She even brought a treat for my son's birthday. Cute cozy space. We loved Mr. Sushi.“

“The sushi is amazing! We order plenty of sushi and other dishes. The fish is so fresh! High quality sushi!“

“We love Kirin. The food is delicious every time. The Karaage Ramen is AMAZING seriously fried chicken in a soup?? What could be better?? Also the service...it's so rare these days to go somewhere with young staff members who actually care about their job. We always appreciate how hard they work.“

“My husband and I went for his 40th birthday. We've been looking for a place to get some authentic Japanese food, and we finally found it. He got the okonomiyaki (so incredibly hard to find in the states) and I got the pork katsu dinner. Best katsu I've had in the states! I cannot gush enough about how good the food was. The staff were diligent and attentive, service was timely, and atmosphere was bright and clean. 10 out 10, would recommend“

“Great food with large portions. Service was excellent and most importantly the place was very clean!“

“phenomenal food. great atmosphere“

“We went for a late lunch early dinner and the prices were really good. The food was good, the chef very personable, the atmosphere could've been better. Unfortunately, some parents just allow their children to run around, yelling and goofing off. Definitely a lack of parenting! It was the only negative.“

“Yummy roll and crazy tuna roll :)“

“Always extremely delicious food! The people are amazing! They are always very nice and if you ask politely you can get some extra sauce on your meal! Every time my wife and I come to the mall, we eat here. This place definitely beats out the other places around the food court.“

“This was our first time there and, Oh My Goodness, was it amazing! The portions were great, we ended up with some to take home. My spouse and I both had Tonkotsu Ramen. I had mine with Katsu pork and my spouse had beef and onions. We also had an order of the pan fried Gyoza and Taiyaki. Everything was so delicious! The Gyoza were just the right mix of crispy and tender. The Taiyaki was a nice sweet treat and the Ramen was a beautiful blend of flavors, rich, and creamy, and savory. I didn't ask, but the noodles taste homemade. We plan to return in the near future.“

“Came in today for a late lunch before driving back home to the Youngstown area. I eat here maybe 5-8 times a year depending on my travel schedule and Kyoto has never let me down...today was simply another great meal. Splurged with the Fillet and Scallop Combo with the egg yolk sauce for the scallops and it was all cooked perfectly.“

“Friendly Service and tasty food.“

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

“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.“

“First time at a House of Japan. It was Expensive but good quality and portion. The show was nice and the chef engaged with the patrons. I love when bean sprouts are in season they are my favorite hibachi vegetable. The protein is cooked like requested and is seasoned well. The yum yum has almost no flavor so I'll pass on that next time. But If you want a happy birthday or anything for the bday patron, it's all extra $$ even if you just want a song. The children were entertained for being so young but overall it was a good experience. Oh the bathrooms are cleanly and nice too.“

“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.“

“Everything we have tried has been fantastic. We’ve only ordered takeout so I can only imagine it would be even better in house. Their rolls, hibachi and rock shrimp are sooo good!! Will definitely be giving Oishii our business again and again.“

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

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

“I ordered Ninja House Hibachi Express online and headed over to pick it up, blissfully unaware that the entire area had just lost power. When I walked in, the place was completely dark, the staff couldn’t see their online orders, and my food was—understandably—a mystery.

And yet… these absolute legends didn’t skip a beat. Sitting there in winter coats, in near pitch-black conditions, they still cooked my order anyway. No complaints, no hesitation—just pure, next-level customer service. If that’s not “customer first,” I don’t know what is.

And I haven’t even mentioned the food yet—which was fantastic, by the way. I was genuinely blown away by how kind, gracious, and determined the staff was. Power outage or not, they absolutely delivered. Outstanding experience all around.

Thank you!“

“I have never had anything here that wasn't delicious. Mr. Kim is absolutely exceptional! He always remembers my son and is so kind to us every single time! He was pretty busy this evening but still made the time to say Happy birthday to my kiddo and the food was still top notch. As long as Mr. Kim is there, this will remain my favorite sushi spot. 🍣“

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

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

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

“Excellent fresh sushi - the cherry blossom roll is my favorite! 🍣“

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

“Great place and flavorful food! First experience with the Chicken ramen and the staff was patient, accommodating and nice. Would come back again! Would love some rice noodle options though.“

“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!“

“Ordered my food online. They were right about the Green Pepper Beef being spicy & numbing/tingly lol. I definitely mistook which type of pepper being used. THAT BEING SAID: 10/10 would order again. Cleared out my sinuses, had PHENOMENAL flavor, tender and perfect. Every person I told I was ordering food from Coco's told me that it was a good choice-- it was the PERFECT choice. I will be back.“

“Delicious, Fresh and Fast!“
