18 Best Japanese Restaurants near Greer

“This place is really good. I actually purchased one of their Thai dishes(Panang Chicken Curry) and it was spectacular. It was a little different than most Thai restaurants serve but in a good way. Great veggie mixture. Slightly sweet. Not as spicy as I normally like. But overall, very good.“

“We had Hu for our server and he did a fantastic Job. The sushi was delicious and the appetizers were really good too.“

“Delicious food. You must try.“

“Great service and fresh food.“

“I ordered delivery, chicken and shrimp combo with a yellow sauce and a side of mixed veggies, wow it's was so delicious and fresh, nice portion sizes, maybe 2 small meals for someone, I definitely recommend trying it, you won't be disappointed.“

“I love Joy of Tokyo to begin with. However, this one is exceptional. I came in and communicated that I wasn’t able to read the menu (I just had to move down the counter a little bit in order to see better and said this to make me walking away a bit less awkward). The kind guy at the front voluntarily started explaining the menu and reading each item very professionally, respectfully, and patiently. I was blown away by the kind gesture, which is the essence things that make dining anywhere a stellar experience.

Thank you for reading this review and I hope your experience here is as great as mine always is!“

“I had the sesame chicken combo, subbed lo mien for rice and added an egg roll. It's the best Chinese food I've had in my 4 years of living on SC. Its a small store front restaurant, and it's much better did than what your think you're about to get!“

“My partner and I stopped by this local spot to get a bite to eat. I'm glad we did because it was delicious! It definitely hit home and is somewhere id recommend to try. It's a bit small inside but otherwise, great place to come grab a bite for sushi hibachi, fried rice, bentos, and so on. They even have delicious chia tea and boba! Next time I'm here, I will be coming back!“

“I came across this restaurant while getting ready to head home (I don't live in the Greenville area) and I stopped in to pick up a quick bite to eat while on my way. I'm so glad I did! 😊

The service was out of this world and the staff was so friendly! I wish I'd had time for a sit-down meal but I'll be sure to make time during my next visit. Looking forward to trying more of their menu and seeing what's up with some of those sushi selections. 😁

I wish them well and hope they continue to prosper!“

“Great food, friendly staff, and some of the best Ramen I’ve had a Greenville“

“Small place with a very basic dining room. Nothing fancy, but they keep it nice and clean. Music was a bit too loud which made it hard to talk at our table. Young lady at the front was very nice, explained some things on the menu and gave us some good recommendations as this was our first time eating here.

We got Hibachi chicken and hibachi shrimp. Teriyaki sauce was good and it came with some wonderfully crunchy veggies and a good portion of fried rice. I did not care for the fried rice, it has a strong fishy taste to me ( maybe a tad too much fish sauce?) But my husband liked it and gladly ate all mine, too. The chicken portion was small for the price, but tasty. Their Yum-Yum sauce is EXCELLENT! Not overly sweet or gloopy. The hibachi plates come with Miso soup or a mixed greens salad.
We got crab rangoon which was different than any we've had but quite tasty. It is a sweeter filling so if you lean more to savory in your filling, you may not like them. They come dusted with powdered sugar, as well.
Onigiri is served instead of sushi rolls. We had the California and Spicy Crab ones. You can get them deep fried if you like. We did not. They were both VERY tasty!
Egg rolls were crisp and loaded with the usual veggies and some pork. They were rather bland, having no sesame oil or garlic flavor to the filling. We also tried the Gyoza and they were delicious. Pork and veggie filled then steamed/pan fried to crispy perfection.
They do a brisk take out business and orders were being picked up the entire time we were there.
I think this is a delicious...and nutritious choice for anyone in the area looking for great Japanese food! We would go again if nearby.
My only suggestion would be to lower the volume of the music. Thanks for a great dinner!“

“Outstanding ramen, sushi and other goodies. The pork buns are tasty and the takoyaki was superb.“

“Service is incredible, food is amazing, and environment is very friendly! Definitely recommend other people to try it.“

“Food is Explosively Delicious“

“1st time ordering here. Was in mood for oriental food. Happen to pick this place. Menus were easy to navigate. Pretty diverse choices. Mainly chicken, steak combos. I tried the Steak Teriaki, so did my wife. Mine was a little tough,(overcooked) but my wife's was perfectly tender. I think we will return but I will order mine rare.“

“My family and I just happened to wander into the front doors of this wonderful place and we were extremely pleased with prompt, friendly service, relatively affordable pricing (especially considering the area), and exceptionally fresh and wonderful food. The atmosphere was very upscale, but being casually dressed in blue jeans and t-shirts, we still felt very comfortable and welcome. I had the Hibachi Chicken Plate, and she had the Steak Hibachi. We split our Sushi: the “IBM Roll” and “BMW Roll” and words cannot describe how fresh and delectable everything tasted. We were astounded at the quality of food, the speed of service, the friendliness of service and it was like the cook was professionally-trained. Very nice place, if “taste” is what leads you to somewhere new. We loved it and will be back.“

“Easily our favorite hibachi and the Sakura roll is a must have. We appreciate the fresh cut vegetables in our meals instead frozen like it usually is at hibachi restaurants. The service is always great and the restaurant is clean. If you live close do not pass on Sakura!“

“We eat here a few times a year. It’s always good. Staff is great also.“
