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“

“This is my favorite Hibachi place in Akron. So many hibachi places have started using frozen vegetables which I cannot understand for the life of me. Nippon Hibachi still uses FRESH vegetables. The taste and quality of the meat is FRESH. Chicken is definitely chicken and not a mystery meat. Portions are excellent. I usually split one meal into 2 or share with someone. Also, the owners and workers are SOO SOOO nice. I have never not had a pleasant experience here. Also if you pickup, every meal comes with a drink, although I don’t think it says that on the menu.“

“I am definitely to recommend this restaurant“

“My husband and I love Ichiban!! I am originally from California, and I can honestly say this is some of the best sushi I’ve had anywhere!

It is always good and the ingredients are very fresh - both when we eat there or get it to go. The quality of their salmon is just perfection! My husband is vegan, and he really loves their veggie rolls and orders the agedashi tofu without bonito flakes and it is excellent.

The staff are also so nice and recognize us now as regulars. And, if you order hot tea, they have the most adorable tea sets :)

Highly, highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

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