31 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!“

“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.“

“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’ !“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Delicious food! Great server!“

“I do not know why this place is always empty but honestly I love it! The food abd service is really TOP TIER.
THE PHO IS LITERALLY THE BEST IVE EVER HAD....ATHE BROTH IS SOOOOO GOOD.
THE owner(i assume) is just so sweet.
Ive been several times and always overly satisfied“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!!“

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

“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. 👌🏻“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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 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 have been eating at Saito's ever since their doors opened. It's been through 2 owners and the 2nd owner didn't mess it up by his take on the previous owners menu (if its not broke dont F' with it!)! Two large retail rooms makes this a very spacious and comfortable restaurant, the entry side with a bunch of seating around hibachi grills, the other with booths or tables, and a huge sushi bar.
The staff are young, polite, friendly and attentive. Won't lie, we did have a bad waitress years ago, but her time there was short lived.
The food....what else can I say! It's always good, portions are just right, and the pricing is perfect for a casual dinner for 2! I love the Daily Special, Hibachi Steak & Shrimp, with vegetables, fried rice, soup and salad. My wife loves the Steak Bento box and we usually split a Sushi & Nigiri appetizer.“

“Great food , good service!!!“

“At first, I avoided this restaurant like the plague when I had first ordered a while ago they had my raw sushi sitting out a room temperature and by the time I got there, which I say about 10 minutes away the sushi had turned brown, and I only did it turn brown. It was sitting under a leak in the restaurant. BUT now , I’m under the impression of a new owner and their food quality has doubled ! The sushi no longer tastes like chemicals , the food is fresher and the flavor profile has improved too. I ordered my favorite 3 combo sushi as a last resort because my other place closed earlier but boy was I blown away by the upgrade! The service does need to be a little bit better, the ladies at the desk are a bit snappy but the food is delicious. I am an uncover food reviewer for the Memphis area and my new score on this restaurant is 8/10! ( old score was 2/10)“

“Great food and service. We have only had sushi a few times, but the waitress was very helpful in helping us make some tasty selections. We would definitely recommend if you are in the Memphis area.“

“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!“

“The food is fresh, the temperature of the food is good and hot, the food is delicious and the staff is very polite. Awesome restaurant.“
