11 Best Japanese Restaurants in Providence

“Terrific food, drinks, and atmosphere. Staff was friendly and made it a great visit. We will be back again.“

“My friend, Scott, took me to Haruki last night for dinner, knowing that I’m OBSESSED with sushi, the same way he is. He insisted that it would be worth the drive from Rochester, MA (my location) to Cranston, raving, “It’s the BEST!” and promising me that I won’t be disappointed. I’ll tell you this… he was not wrong!! From the sushi, to the service… A++++ Their entire staff is full of joyous energy and are super on top of everything. It’s so refreshing to see a place of business full of an entire group of people all working so wonderfully together. Getting their ish done like champs all while laughing, smiling, helping, but most importantly, they are all HAPPY. That happiness is infectious. Looking around the restaurant, all you could see was a place full of love, though and through. Our waiter, Tony, was SUCH a sweetheart. Though it was a busy night, he made time to chat with us throughout service. He knows Scott since he’s been a long-time customer. At the end of dinner, Tony truly showed his appreciation to Scotty for being a valued customer for so long by treating us to one of their most delicious bottles of saké, on the house. It was so smooth and delicious. Between the sushi being absolutely phenomenal… I’m talking OUT OF THIS WORLD (and I’m a sushi snob and a half), the rocking staff, the pleasant atmosphere and the fantastic prices, you really can’t beat this gem of a place. It is most definitely a new favorite!“

“Best sushi in Providence hands down.
Fresh fish, incredible chef and really kind family run atmosphere. You may need to wait a while because they don’t have a ton of staff, so don’t go when you’re on a schedule. But go every other time. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough for sushi lovers with high expectations.“

“Nami is definitely underrated. They werent very busy on Friday night, service was prompt and quick. Drinks, apps, and the sushi itself were very good and tasty, they even had a special going which was worth the money. Cant really say a bad thing about it, perfect for date nights!“

“THEY SERVE REAL JAPANESE SUSHI!! THE BEST IVE HAD IN RHODE ISLAND‼️
I came here a few other times. I forgot how good this place was until I came back again today. The people are so nice. It’s so sad how this place is hidden and lowkey because the food is so amazing!!! They deserve more recognition.
I got a shrimp tempura and before Ive had their poke bowls and gyozas… when I tell you I haven’t been able to find a good authentic sushi spot in Rhode Island until now. I had already given them a tip BUT after eating, I had to go back in to give an even bigger tip!!!
I talked to the people as well and they’ve been open for 17 years. The people are from Haruki. They are really such good and genuine people and you can tell they make their food with love.
Everyone needs to come here!!❤️“

“Excellent and very fresh.“

“The girls working there were kind and my son wanted me to eat there and treated me to my first Korean food 👍😁.“

“your Rock Shrimp appetizer was amazing the Tempura shrimp was perfect.“

“We love going to Lim's for its consistently fresh and delicious food and friendly service -- thank you!“

“Found this little hidden gem on our way out of Prov on a Sunday afternoon.Ordered: Yoo Roll (45), Volcano Roll (13), & Rainbow Roll (11) also the Thai Ice TeaThe sushi was SO delicious and fresh and the presentation was beautiful. Tea was also good.Atmosphere is so simple & quiet, a relaxing place to wait for your sushi.I can see this place is busy with online/phone orders and door dash, the inside service was a bit slow, (hence the 4 stars) but once we got that delicious platter we forgot about the wait. It was worth the wait“

“Really enjoyed the offering they have including make your own Ramen they were heavy if you have two. Sakura milk tea was so good it had hint of cherry blossoms even better if you got them with tapioca pearls. A staff at the holiday Inn Theodore Francis Green Airport recommended this to us.
