23 Best Japanese Restaurants near Waterdown

“My family orders from Sushi Ya all the time, the quality of their fish is insanely good. The fish to rice ratio is perfect. No other sushi restaurant in Burlington/Waterdown area even holds a candle to this place. Even the appetizers are just so much better than most places. If you haven’t tried it, you should, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Our whole family agrees Cozy Sushi has the best sushi around. Lots of delicious vegetarian options and the owners are so kind and generous when you pick up your order. I can't recommend it enough and it has become our go-to sushi place.“

“We've been coming to Sio Bentonville for over three years now and every time it's absolutely fantastic! Food is always fresh, delicious and they update their menu to add new things. Atmosphere is great! It's cute and cozy. The service is absolutely amazing, the waitresses are always friendly and courteous, and open kitchen concept is great. The price is actually fair to be honest. Some people may consider it is pricey but the portions are very substantial. The flavors are absolutely fantastic.“

Atmosphere is peaceful and beautiful, the service is wonderful, and the food is always consistent, clean and delicious. We love you Joya

In fact, I'm putting in an order right now“

“I really enjoy both their Beef Teriyaki and Chicken Teriyaki with rice. The food is consistently high quality, tastes fresh, and feels like a healthier option compared to other places in the mall.
I have always been satisfied with both the food and the service. The staff are friendly and professional, and I especially want to mention the two gentlemen working at the grill, they are always welcoming, polite, and create a great atmosphere.“

“For some context, I’ve been coming to this location on and off for a few years now. Every time I visit, the service is friendly, the sushi is fresh, and the staff are always quick and efficient.

I’d attach a photo, but the food looked too good to wait—I dove into the rolls before I had the chance!

Consistently great food and service. Highly recommended.“

“Stopped in here, craving a Won Ton soup, didn’t realize they made it here. They have a small size and a regular size. Had 1 small Won Ton soup, took a bit to prepare and the servers were nice of them to tell me to sit down (while they got it prepared) When the soup was ready, I picked it up at the counter. The soup was very good, nice and hot, with small wonton noodles (with a meat filling) tasted like a seasoned pork. Soup had pieces of broccoli throughout it, and broth was a bit salty (but tolerable) could taste the spices, ginger root and garlic added in. Tasty broth, I added pepper for taste no soya sauce. The larger dishes look good also, but they have rices, spring rolls, teriyaki dishes. I’ll have to try, cooked right in front of you (with fresh ingredients) and placed steaming hot into the container (all ready to eat in food court or take home).“

“Food was absolutely spectacular and the service was phenomenal. The servers went above and beyond. There was no wait time for a table. Suitable for small groups and large groups as well.

The atmosphere is very calming, relaxing, and soothing. The music matched with atmosphere and made the dining experience feel more intimate. I would highly recommend dining here. It is a clean environment and the servers are very friendly.

I have ordered a teriyaki salmon and, a general tao chicken. These meals were a 10/10 would definitely give it a try if you haven’t.“
