26 Best Japanese Restaurants near Kettering

“I highly recommend this restaurant! We have never had a bad meal there. Of all the restaurants we go to, Sima is always one we return to more than any other. Friendly staff, home cooked food. My husband always says it's like what his mom used to make. Our go to appetizer is the agadashi tofu, Dduk Bbok Gi, or the Korean pancake. Last night we had the Squid dolsot and the Jaeyook Tofu & Kimchi. Loved every bite!“

“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! 🫶🏼“

“my all time favorite place to eat. the food is always excellent, the staff is top notch. if you haven't eaten chef Ken's creations you are really missing out...“

“This is the most authentic Japanese ramen I've had in the USA since visiting Japan. The beef, broth and soft boiled egg we're all cooked beautifully. My husband ordered the Rainbow Roll which was also wonderfully prepared and perfectly fresh. This place is a gem and we'll be back when in the area.“

“Great service, incredible sushi — Pacific Roll a must!“

“So the outside definitely scares you, I’m glad we decided to listen to the reviews and go in they have a small menu, but the food was good. The only thing that was different was the salad dressing. I was not accustomed to their mayonnaise flavor. None of us ate it ,the Hibachi chef was a lot of fun. I would come back.“

“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!!“

“Loved this place! They accidentally gave me the wrong person's hibachi food order, and it was a little confusing getting it corrected, but other than that, it was a great price for what you get. I feel like the fried rice could've been more flavorful because it tasted more like seasoned white rice. Some of the vegetables could've been cooked longer too, but they were in great teriyaki sauce.“

“I got the Filet and Scallop combo, cooked fresh and very good, even better with the sauce that comes on the side. I have to say the portion of meat that is given is disappointing, you most certainly have to pay additional for extra, but you will enjoy.

Overall, I would recommend eating here.“

“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!“

“My sons and his wife took myself and my wife out for dinner. The service was excellent, prices were fairly priced. The food was well prepared and wort the price. But here is what was special. My daughter in law is Korean and my son spent years over there. When my daughter tasted here food, I have never seen her eyes light up with such excitement at finding food that took her home. It was a wonderful experience and we will be back!“

“Entertaining chefs, tasty food, large portions..HUGE actually, and fun environment.“

“I didn’t hear about this place until I received a coupon in the mail.. I wish I would have discovered it sooner! I decided to check it out for lunch with my 2 year old today. It was delicious & my picky toddler enjoyed everything too! We got the steak teriyaki. One bowl with noodles, the other with rice. Both tasted great but I love the flavor of the noodles. The bowl comes with fresh veggies as well, which were also great. For 2 bowls & 2 drinks, with a buy 2 get 1 free bowl coupon, it was $20.“

“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!“

“It was a good experience. I was walking around and hadn't eaten in a good while and I'm sure I looked tired and hungry because I got two free samples. I never get a second free sample so I must've looked some kind of way.

I ended up getting a good meal for ten and some change. I got a basic teriyaki chicken meal with rice and green veggies. I'm glad they asked if I wanted extras but I did not get them this time.

I'm glad someone saw that I was tired and hungry because that food came out fast! It was just what I needed when I needed it.

The food court was packed but they gave me disposables that I could simply waltz out of the mall with so I could eat at a second location in peace which is also what I needed.

Thank you!“

“Amazing sushi rolls! Fresh and a great selectiion. It's worth the drive if you are coming from farther away. Service was very good. Best green tea! Try it out, no matter the hour. :)“

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

“Yummy 🤤 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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!“

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