17 Best Japanese Restaurants near Stow

“We've been ordering from Phoenix Express for years. They recently remodeled the restaurant and it looks amazing. Great food and now a great atmosphere!“

“Very good I love this location ?? definitely recommend“

“Best Chicken Hibachi in the area! There's several places closer to me, but Nippon is worth the extra drive. Great chicken, great rice, great noodles, great yum yum sauce, and fantastic fresh vegetables! The portions are huge, and my girlfriend says the Crab Rangoons are the best she's ever had because they're actually filled with lots of crab and not just cream cheese. Sorry no pictures, I ate it too fast :)“

“We come here a lot and while in yesterday for dinner, I realized I need to give Ichiban a review! This place is no frills, delicious, simple and quick. The woman who I presume is the boss lady is amazing and very attentive. One time one of our entrees was a little cold and we could hear her yelling at the cook (lol). She does not play. Everything is always amazing and fresh. This spot is our tried and true! Give them your business, they deserve it. It’s always the same staff every single time we go in. They’re hard working and their food speaks for itself.“

“The service was amazing, and the food was delicious. Everything came out quickly, the place was very clean, and the portion sizes were more than enough. Overall, it was a great experience“

“Lovveee it it’s so good it makes my day going back here every once in a while“

“I’ve now had Maki House where I have eaten in and taken out. Both times were absolutely delicious! The chicken rich ramen is amazing and even my 4-year-old couldn’t get enough of it! For takeout, they separate the broth from the noodles and other toppings so it doesn’t get soggy. Plus, they gave us a nice reusable bag to take it home in, along with nicely sealed utensils (chopsticks, fork, and spoon). They also perfectly make the boba so it isn’t too mushy or underdone. HIGHLY recommend!“

“I recently ordered the Chicken Hibachi Combo Meal with Broccoli, Carrots, Onions, Zucchini, and Fried Rice with two additional Yum Yum Sauces. It was pretty good. I would order again. I particularly liked the Fried Rice with Vegetables.“

“Great place, wonderful service and amazing prices. Lunch special is awesome.“

“Haven't been here in about 2 and a half years, they changed the cooks again because the same dishes i ordered frequently are prepared different but under same menu title, not what they were in the past; same size servings but different supporting veggies are used for example: the vegetable stir fry of only 🥦 broccoli in garlic sauce used to come as a massive plate piled high of bright, glossy, steaming broccoli's in a little puddle of brown sauce that didn't go over the lip of the plate, also came with a few shredded carrot strands mixed in. Now same meal arrived with a few over cooked (wilted, limp and not shiny green, dull brownish color) broccoli florets and mostly random veggies, which made me think I was given a veggie stir fry but it was the broccoli and garlic I ordered. The meal was excellent i just wished my plate was all broccoli as I thought it would be.

Minor gripe: my broccoli stir fry felt like it was sloppy saucy, meaning the veggies were in a pool of sauce, felt like too much sauce added in and things were soggyish.

Because the meal was steaming hot and the taste was on point, I did not feel it was worth voicing my concern as even the hot and sour soup was tasty as I never had green peppers in hot and sour soup before and that made me think I was having chili as green peppers remind me of chili, not hot and sour soup.

The hot and sour soup was one of my favorites in the area. I was sad to see it was made differently (veggies used, deviations from previous visits in past) though the soup was still stellar. However, because the cooks are greatly skilled, the dishes tasted great as they were, my only disappointment being they were not served how they used to be when I frequented more.

Most Asian restaurants dishes never change and I like that approach, this place does have deviations occur over time and that frustrates me as I don't get what brought me in, but because the skill is on point whatever they serve still comes out as a 5 star meal and I'm okay with that.

I would ask for future reference use less sauce please as that takes away from the food itself when its soaking in alot of sauce.

Service is always friendly and even when sloppy saucey this is still one of my fav eateries in the area.“

“New Owners have made great improvements to menu and building. Stop in and try their great dishes.“

“Fantastic!! We went on a Sat night and got the loveboat. Great service and fantastic sushi!“

“First time here and we got multiple things. Adam took great care of us. So good, large portions, and we'll definitely be back!“

“Amazing! Steak cooked perfect. Double chicken loved by a picky eater! Yum yum sauce so good! Desserts to die for! Staff is so pleasant and funny! Will be a returning customer!!!“

“Great service. Pretty decor. Clean space. Great food that's fresh! Glad we stopped in today.“

“Dinner again; well Fabulous dinner. Service was A+ Food A+ (outstanding as always) Everyone should try if you have not dined there.“

“Sushi ? was pretty awesome. It was extremely fresh, thick cut and by far the best I've had in the area. The crab Rangoon was 85% crab meat and delicious. Hibachi chicken and rice was above average and worth it. I'll definitely be back there soon. I'm won over.“
