17 Best Japanese Restaurants in Chattanooga

“Wonderful service, excellent food ! 10/10 recommend, will def be back !“

“The tuna poke bowl was fresh and so flavorful! I loved the minimalist design of the restaurant and traditional interior. You order at the counter and can enjoy a Japanese soda while you wait. Also their chef has a great attention to detail which is evident even when serving their delicious food.“

“Did the hibachi grill. Fun and entertaining. Their approach is the typical hibachi sequence I’ve had across the country in a dozen restaurants. My kids loved it. Food was great and just as good as the other places. Great atmosphere. I went around 5pm on Labor Day and only had a 15 minute wait and they didn’t have all of the grills going. It’s in a strip mall but it’s a quality atmosphere inside. The yellow robot they had at the entrance was fun for my kids to play with. Friendly staff!“

“The best place to eat! While on the weekend they may be busy and it takes a few minutes to be seated most of the time we have no wait! The staff is so friendly. Kim is the best CHEF IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, and Miko along with Joko give the best dining service!!! The bartenders are also fantastic for those 21+! We come here multiple times a week and always will. Definitely worth the wait and the drive. From top of the line food to the bestest friends, this is best place to eat!!!!“

“Love this place. Me and my family love the food and atmosphere. Service is amazing. Very friendly staff. One of our top places to eat at❤️“

“Absolutely delicious!!! Very fresh. Great options. Fast service. Friendly, caring staff. I highly recommend this place. The mamba roll was wonderful- YUM!!!!

Kid-friendliness: Limited seating. It’s a small rectangle shaped place with not much for kids to get into. Service is really fast. You can get in and out in 30 minutes!

Wheelchair accessibility: Totally wheelchair accessible.“

“I go here about once a month and it is always a great experience. Never too busy, but the food is wonderful. I love the bento box options since it gives you some sushi and some hibachi. Their sushi rolls are also done expertly and they always look and taste amazing!“

“Great food. Great price.“

“My wife and I searched Google maps for Local Chinese food in East Brainerd. The hibachi express came up in the results and we decided to go. It is located in a small plaza at the corner of E. Brainerd Rd. and gunbarrel Road. We both ordered hibachi chicken and shrimp plates and they were a little over $15 apiece. Our total meal which is the two plates came out to $30 and change.

The chicken and the shrimp were excellent, and the vegetables were very good as well. The portions were big. My only complaint is that I did not like the brown rice you see in the picture. That was the fried rice we requested. It tasted very much of curry and had a dark, brownish flavor to it. I would highly recommend getting another style of rice other than their “fried “on the menu. As i left the rice untouched, the pieces of chicken and shrimp and vegetables were plenty enough to make me full.

I also tried the ginger sauce in which I dipped a few pieces in to see if I would like it. I did not care for it. I did not try the white sauce.

If you are local to the restaurant or in the area, they are good eats and aside from not liking the rice. I felt like they were just as good value as other small hibachi houses around the city.

Parking: Is located in a small wall and you may have to be careful with turns and backing in and out.“

“Good food. Generous portions. Reasonable price. Great call ahead and pick up ready in 15 to 20 minutes👍🏻“

“place is amazing.... some of the best sushi in town“

“I ordered the daily chicken teriyaki special with extra meat and WOW—it was incredible! The portion was so generous it could easily feed two people. I also grabbed the spring eggrolls, but they didn’t even make it to a picture because I devoured them right away—so good! For my kids, I ordered the Japanese donuts (a buffet classic) and they absolutely loved them. I also tried the 5-piece wontons, and they were superb with the perfect amount of crunch. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I’ll definitely be back!“

“This place was super accommodating with our big double stroller and 2 kids! We dined for lunch on a week day and our waiter made sure everything was just right for us. Good service goes along ways when you’re out with kids and this place was on point!“

“Wonderful service and food“

“Hands down my new favorite place, I'm very skeptical about trying new places but I'm so glad I took the chance to try this place. Everything about this place deserves 5 stars, the people were so nice, the food was absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere was so nice. The food was so worth the price, there was so much food that I got half way through my plate and was already full, everything was so well cooked and came out hot and ready in only 4 minutes. The service was absolutely incredible, the girl that was working the cash register was so nice and was very patient while taking my order, even though I ordered the same thing as my friend she was still nice and waited for me to choose what I wanted and the yum yum sauce (white sauce) was very good too, usually at places like these the sauce is oddly thick and doesn't look appealing, but the sauce here is so sweet and perfect. The atmosphere of this place was so relaxing and the music that was playing was very good, not much to say about the atmosphere other than how nice it was. I can't find one singular reason to not like this place, I usually don't leave reviews but this place was too good not to leave a review. I will definitely be coming back on a regular basis and will bring more people to come and try this place.“

“Food is fresh and excellent I could not finish my meal I had to take it home. They give you a lot of food“

“We called ahead for a large group. Food was great. Servers were very rigid and uptight during the ordering process(One chef was engaged while the other wasn’t). We did look ahead at the online menu. Prices are inaccurate on their official website. Tickets being dispersed after the meal was total chaos. As we didn’t sit with our family together and getting that situated was not great. Over all for a large group celebration I would recommend eating here“
