26 Best Japanese Restaurants in Memphis

“I absolutely love this place… it is soooo good , I can’t wait to go back“

“Very delicious fresh food everytime!!
We have found a diamond in the rough!
Prices are reasonable and great customer service!!!!
Highly recommend this establishment.
So far we have tried a few items on their menu. But we expect to try it all!! The boba tea is outstanding.
I really personally loved their Mei Fun.
The teenager loves their Memphis roll. My husband had the hibachi stir fry and claims it is just amazing! And the portion sizes are great!
We've gone a few times so there are more menu items not mentioned. But they all were great, we returned and tried more items. Below pictures is the general tso and the Lo mein.
The other times we have gone we didn't take pics. I wish I had.
But we didn't waste any time eating because it was all so delicious and tempting.

If you happen by this place, GO IN they have a cute little area by the register with items for sale that are adorable ranging from hello kitty and friends to jewelry. Also reasonably priced. It truly is a great place.“

“Easily some of the best Japanese food I’ve had in the United States! I can’t believe we found a gem in Memphis like this! The food tasted so authentic and the server was taking care of 15 people all by himself and being super attentive! Also the price point is great as well!“

“I’ve had Sushi Jimmi’s food since 2017. I’ve followed him from Sushi Jimmi, to saltwater crab, to poke paradise (food truck and restaurant). Always provides excellent food and service. You get the freshest fish with him. And he’s a friendly guy and family man. Every type of dish he makes is top notch. One of my favorite places.“

“Food and service is always excellent. Kelly is my usual waitress and knows our orders by heart. We may go there a little too much but it's so good it's hard not to lol“

“Yall when I tell yall this was the BOMB!! ( they have a health score of 95) I came here for my first time today and I had originally saw them on a delivery service app and I figured I’d go in person. The lady at the register was so nice and calm and took my order like it was clockwork!
The food was SO good and the price will make you think you are dreaming! I was able to feed about 6 people with 32$ and that includes two plates of rice, one sushi roll, and a pack of egg rolls! The rice was fresh , you could tell they just made it and the seasoning they put on it is so good you don’t really need any soy sauce or duck sauce! The sushi was also very good and it tasted fresh! They put Tokyo grill to shame!! I’ll never go back to them even tho I was a regular! Go get yall some they got something for ya even if you are rich broke or po’ !“

“The most amazing sushi in Memphis area. So lucky to have found a fresh sushi place. Everything we have had was wonderful. Wonderful owners.“

“🥟 🍜 🍱 🍤 🍨 Bento dinner boxes have huge portions!“

“Our favorite place to eat.... Moved over 2 hours away from Memphis but when we are in town close to 5 PM we make it a point to eat here. This has always been our 'go to' place for special occasions.“

“I was greeted as soon as i walked in and the owner Michelle was so lovely! The food was so hot and fresh and came out extremely quickly considering we ordered 5 different sushi rolls and an order of rangoon’s. Extra rangoon’s were included in my order which was a wonderful surprise. I would recommend dining in - the decor is so lovely and the big green door is fascinating. Definitely will be returning soon.“

“Delicious food! Great server!“

“Best Hibachi in the city I’ve eating Felipe food since they were on Jackson Ave.“

“The Special Pacific Roll and Kaboom Shrimp is perfection. 👌🏼“

“Food and service is always excellent. Kelly is my usual waitress and knows our orders by heart. We may go there a little too much but it's so good it's hard not to lol“

“Sumo has some of the best sushi that I have tasted! Not to mention the hibachi is amazing! Fast friendly service and you can also order online. Give them a try!“

“Food was as expected everytime!! Hot, fresh, cooked to order and seasoned just right!! The East Memphis Roll was fresh and crispy drizzled just right with sauce. House was phenomenal!! Scrumptious!! The cook must’ve have gotten a raise or W-2 cos babyyyy my food was just right!!!“

“So honestly we enjoy Sekisui Midtown. Only our second time going. First time had 4 amazing roles between the two of us. Tonight we went and wanted to try something different than our first time. And while we did not care for one of the roles, which happens, I was disappointed in a specific order for the Alaskan role. The menu calls for blue crab, and what we got was a karb stick. Now I don’t mind paying for a karb stick but I don’t like being given karb when blue crab is on the menu. I asked the waitress when she came over what was in the role and she correctly pointed out that it was a karb stick. I informed her that was not what then menu calls for. She offered to discount that role. When the check arrived she took 20% off that individual role. So we paid $9 for a karb stick. This is a swindle. If I hadn’t asked they would have passed off blue crab at karb prices. They should have simple come and said we are out of blue crab but can substitute it for XXX would you still like that. We will give them another try, but I will be more careful when the food is delivered to make sure we are getting what we ordered. Suggest you do the same.“

“Ordered take out last night! The food is amazing the portion size was crazy good! We will have leftovers for days!! Thank you so much Lynn!!“

“We had such a great first visit to Japan House! The hibachi was delicious, the sushi was fresh, and the atmosphere was wonderful. My son especially loved the fish paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling 🐟✨ It made the meal feel extra special. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I love this place. This particular location on Kirby parkway has the best tasting food ( I’ve ate at all the other ones in Memphis even in Desoto county ) this location is still the best tasting. Also I’ve never had bad customer service from here and my food is always amazing. I probably eat her 5 times a month lol. My fave go to meal for sure ❤️“

“The food is fresh, portions are generous, and everything is cooked just right. The staff is friendly and service is fast, which makes it perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m craving something simple and satisfying.“

“loved the lunch special - I had the shrimp in lobster sauce - totally awesome!!!“

“The plain facade on the front of the building holds a delicious surprise when you walk into the door. As you walk closer to the cash register the Amazing aromas come from the very talented cooks. Freshly cooked ingredients are made to order with care and time. The food had a delicate balance of flavors which can be tasted by taste buds. The prices are reasonable. Sorry people, I didn't take pictures.“

“I really was craving seafood boil! I had no clue that Tokyo grill on Summer had them! 10/10 very delicious one pound of shrimp comes with broccoli, 1 egg, potato and corn. I ask for the corn to be replaced for a potato and let me tell you once I got home I really enjoyed it the flavor was on point. 👌🏻“

“I had a great experience at Tokyo Grill! I ordered the Hibachi Shrimp combo meal, and it did not disappoint. The shrimp was cooked perfectly—tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right. The portion size was generous, and everything was fresh and hot.

The rice and vegetables paired really well with the shrimp, and the overall meal was filling without feeling too heavy. The service was quick, and the staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

If you’re looking for a good hibachi spot on Austin Peay, I definitely recommend giving them a try. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We do recommend RnRSushi. They have improved their preparation time in the food. I prefer eating at the establishment over delivery but it’s just a personal choice. The food is delicious. It’s my personal favorite for sushi! Prices a bit high but so are most places. Will continue to come eat at RnRSushi!“
