25 Best Japanese Restaurants near Antioch

“We love Kirin sushi and hibachi. Owners are great and product is fresh. We eat there at least once a week. Let's make sure to support this place in Antioch so it will stay around for a longtime.“

“It's a small place and we had a long wait for brunch. We went across the street to Southern grist to wait it out. We loved the upon. It was like a Japanese carbonara. The egg salad took me back to 7/11 in Japan. We also enjoyed the tartare and katsu sando.“

“Oh wow so good ! My first time eating sushi 🍣 !! Can’t wait to go back ! Amazing place !“

“Best food ever. I will definitely be coming back.“

“This fried chicken we got was next level DELICIOUS, from the breading, to the chicken seasoning, and that special sauce it came with. Yum!!! Highly recommended! The portion is large and priced reasonably. We found this place online and was skeptical at first since it’s not a traditional set up restaurant, turned out to be such a hidden gem! You can find many different restaurants in this food hall. We can’t wait to come back and try more food soon“

“Stopped in for lunch was greeted with a smile and a welcome when we entered. Friendly waitress was on top of it. Took drink order and returned with them in 2 minutes. Took order and fresh food was served in about 4 minutes. Calamari , cucumber roll and California roll were on point .Will stop again when out that way in the future!?“

“Our server made this experience very enjoyable for us- we thought we'd come in and get our regular sushi orders (we eat sushi very regularly in Canada and were missing it on our trip). But he convinced us to go with a chefs choice sashimi option and have their drunken elephant sake. We learned that the sake we had been drinking regularly (hot) was not pure sake - so learning about this was a really fun experience! Loved both options for food/ wasn't really filling but we weren't looking to fill ourselves up it was mostly about trying new things. Up until this point in the trip we hadn't had very good interactions with Nashville workers / customer service in general so this was very refreshing - our server I forget his name but he was really kind to us, told us a bit about the area - and had some incredible recommendations. Thank you again for making our experience so memorable.“

“Food here is amazing and I love the coupon they have on the back of my local Kroger Register tapes. Great to save money now I can go more often. Thank you“

“First time here and will repeat. Very nice“

“This place was perfect. Compared to other Sushi places, this is by far the best one. The fried rice ordered was LITERALLY golden, the beef in it stood out from the rest of the rice and tasted really good. The customer service was not outstanding but there was NO issues with them. We had also ordered the spicy lover roll which was the best one in which I recommend. The atmosphere is also good, having detailed and being intricate everywhere.

Parking: Parking MIGHT be an issue due to the fact the restaurant is near other ones.

Kid-friendliness: Extremely friendly no issues“

“The Hibachi Grill was really fun! Our grill master was very entertaining! The fillet and chicken was cooked to perfection! Our server was great! I'm rating my first time 5 stars!“

“Their best hibachi cook is Andy. Everything was phenomenal.“

“Wow wow wow! What a hidden gem! My fiancé & I had a perfect date night at Present Tense!! The food was amazing, the atmosphere is unmatched, and the service was fantastic.

We learned near the end of our dinner that one of the servers was sick, so the person who served us was actually the owner, Rick! He was phenomenal & extremely kind!

Cannot recommend this place enough! It’s a must-try!“

“Best hibachi!! Moved here from CA and have been missing authentic style Asian food and Mikado is that!! I got the steak and chicken and omg that salad dressing!! Absolutely delicious, great service, entertaining chef and best atmosphere! Can’t wait to take everyone I know here!“

“Best sushi in Nashville! Tell em Mic Manik sent you!!!“

“Just got into town and was looking for some food. There is another Sushi place across the street but ended up in this one based on the reviews I googled. Ordered the Chirasi bowl and it looked a bit different from what I was used to and different from the picture that is here on this page. Meal also came with Miso soup which was delicious, thick and flavorful and I had a Sapporo to go with. The way the sushi was sliced on the bowl was odd to me but it tasted fine and there was some light sauce on it. What knocked it down for me was the fake crab meat pieces as I'd prefer real crab. Otherwise fast and friendly service.“

“Umami Thai's menu items are always fresh and delicious! Very friendly service at table seating or sushi bar! Please your palate with customizable seasoning heat levels.“

“Great service, AMAZING food. Such a fun experience every time we go“

“I absolutely love their chicken basil fried rice!! It is so delicious!! Every time we come in the staff is always super nice, and they get the food out quickly!!! My fiancee and I absolutely love this place, we eat it a couple of times a week!!!“

“O-Ku is my absolute favorite restaurant EVER! I take all my friends and family and it’s the best spot for a romantic date! The food is always so delicious and beautifully presented. The whole atmosphere is wonderful and the staff is the best service I’ve ever had. Everyone is so nice, helpful, and genuinely friendly. My favorite servers all work here and I’m not the only regular who would say the same. I love you O-Ku Nashville! Shout out to some great servers I’ve had and highly recommend: Leah (the cool environmental enthusiast), Chance (the jokester with the biggest smile), and Ally (the crafty gal with the coolest handmade earrings and the sweetest heart). Food recommendations: PLEASE try the omokase. It is a 6 course tasting meal that is different every time you come in. I’ve had the best dishes from this meal and the nigiri are always so delicious. But honestly, I recommend anything and EVERYTHING. To start- king pao Cauliflower. Hot dish- get the Tokyo chicken bowl. Sashimi- the usuzukari or hamachi carpachio. From the robata grill- kamo negi (duck breast). A sushi roll- the playboy. Also the have O-toro, Uni, and so many specialty fishes like kin medai and shima aji!!!!“

“Awesome Japanese fare in a cozy little place! The people are very nice, give large portion sizes, and the service is very fast. It's affordable and near Vandy campus as well which is a plus. They also recently expanded the menu, so there's lots of good selection.“
