50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Little Elm

“For the price, it was a good value. Got the special hibachi for 4. It took a little while to get the cooking going as they were waiting for a couple more people to come in. The soup/broth was decent but miso would have been nicer, and the dressing in the salad was different than I'm used to - not as much ginger and more sweet. Overall, a good value.“

“Just went there for a quick dinner with my fiance, and we were very satisfied by the service and food.

The server, May (the tall asian lady) was extremely helpful and made us feel comfortable throughout the dinner.

Would 100% recommend.“

“Sushi Box is the best sushi place in town. Fast service and fresh food! Friendly staff as well. I highly recommand this place for everybody. Even if you don’t like raw fish, they have cooked sushi roll too.“

“I first had CoCos in 2015 when I was stationed in Japan, and it has remained my favorite food to this day. I have taken several trips to California and Texas with the sole purpose of eating it again lol Will be doing so again in August. Cannot recommend enough.“

“Fresh, delicious and fast service. Definitely will come back for more.“

“Based on one visit for lunch.

I would give this place another try. I thought the pricing seemed pretty reasonable and the service was good. If this was closer to my house I could see going here from time to time.

As far as strip mall sushi goes this place checks a lot of boxes.“

“Love this place, fresh and delicious food! Friendly folks, for a great evening out, this is well worth the trip!“

“Our first visit to Kinzo was spectacular! They were so helpful with ordering suggestions. We had rainbow trout, tuna, salmon, unagi and more…. Everything we tried was so fantastic! Service was prompt, attentive and friendly! Highly recommend 🍣“

“Best sushi ever! Great service. Will definitely come back next time I’m coming through Texas.“

“Really enjoy going to this place. They have a great variety of choices on their menu of all types and style of food. The variety of food does not negatively affect the quality and almost everyone can find something they would enjoy. Service is friendly and good with minimal wait time.“

“Our new go to sushi spot for sure! Everything was super fresh, great attentive service, and the attention to gluten free options was a nice added bonus. Incredible presentation on the sashimi platter and on all the rolls too. We will be seeing you again very soon!“

“Delicious when we dined in and this time when we did take out! Seaweed salad, avocado roll, tuna roll, salmon roll, inari maki roll, and yaki soba! All delicious. Inari maki is unique, and the taste was so balanced and delectable! And ready in 20 minutes!

“Came here for my nieces 16th birthday dinner and had a lovely experience. Not only was the food high-quality and delicious but, the staff was attentive and friendly. Also, the ambience was really nice with beautiful piano music. I can’t speak to how loud it gets when the restaurant is full since it was only at maybe 25% capacity. We ordered both sushi items, the chicken teriyaki and Bulgogi – all amazing. I highly recommend Sake Toro Sushi. Thank you to Helen and the rest of the awesome staff!“

“Absolutely love the vibe inside this place, it feels like an outdoor setting, surrounded Japanese buildings!

The food and service (Lynnze) were excellent, we've been wanting to try this place for a long time!

Sooo good!!“

“Recently ordered steak bento box.

Beef was tender and seasoned well.

California rolls were satisfying and hit the spot.

Gyoza had fresh fried flavor & the texture of the dumpling was perfect. Satisfying.

Egg roll was good.

Service was great.

On previous experiences their sushi was also freshly made and really good. Wished I ordered it this time.

Only minor complaint is that their Wasabi is a bit weak. I prefer stronger Wasabi that burns ?

Other than that, this is one of my top places to go when I decide to eat out.“

“Love the food delicious 🤤“

“The coolest hibachi, food is the bomb“

“This is a very good restaurant

Price is very competitive for their all you can eat lunch or dinner option. It is all you can eat but it is not a buffet. You need to order from the menu to the server and they bring items to you.

We held many special family events such as birthday parties here.“

“It's like Cheers where everyone knows your name. Alan makes the best rolls and will modify anything you want. It's a comfortable local hangout. Not fancy. Not trendy. Great casual and yummy.“

“Had my birthday dinner here and it was great food with amazing service!!! everyone was friendly and very helpful!!! will definitely be back!“

“This is my 2nd time visiting and it was even better than last time. The food was amazing and Tommy is the best!! Tommy made us laugh so much and everyone in his section had a blast. My husband had such a great Father's Day dinner because of him.“

“Excellent food. Had the garlic edamame, house salad and yellowtail love roll. Can’t wait to go back.“

“First off this place is BYOB....ok now on to the food. Great food, cooked to order, full of flavors, no complaints, will be back again every month! A small yet quaint restaurant tucked away if you are not looking for this place you would probably miss it which is so unfortunate because the service and food quality we received was A1. We have only been once and have yet to return but once we do if the review needs to be updated to provide a different experience I will do so. If you're looking for good Japanese food that is not a disappointment this is a good one to go to! We ordered a variety of food for lunch including sushi and everything was good! Check this place out!“

“Chicken fried rice & California, salmon & spicy tuna rolls were so fresh and tasty Perfect way to start a new week 😋“

“My family and I have been here a handful of times and have had a great experience every time. The service here is both fast and friendly and they consistently serve tasty dishes and large portions. My husband and kids have tried many of the ramen dishes and have yet to find one that they don't enjoy. I think this has become our new favorite spot.“

“This place has great food but even better people. I came back for the first time since my heart attack and I was greeted with hugs and even teary eyes. Such good people!“

“Fun friendly atmosphere, great service, and delicious food!“

“Easily the best ramen I've had in the Collin County area. Hell even the price has beaten inflation! You can't get any better ramen by far. Their broth is just simply different. The noodles are the best rice noodles I've ever have. And this place stays open till 2 am everday?? It's heaven for late night folks. Definitely one of the best restaurants around in general. Their service is still quick as can be and their staff DO take their jobs seriously. With a lot of care and heart. Not many places if any have that type of worth ethic left 🤧“

“Excellent restaurant for creative Japanese food and excellent service! Loved it!“

“The food is amazing. Tomo is my new favorite restaurant, not just sushi. The service is always good and the people are great. Let’s pack the place and make sure this business makes it.“

“We ordered the Chicken Teriyaki, Fried Rice, and Salad, which was priced at $10. The portion size was generous and sufficient for two people, offering great value for the price. The taste was excellent, with flavors that stood out. The restaurant is located inside the mall, which makes it convenient, but may impact the overall dining experience. While I gave it two stars primarily due to the ambiance, the food itself is a solid alternative to Panda Express or similar fast-food-style Chinese options.“

“Craving hibachi but don’t have time for the whole grill experience? Oki Japanese Grill offers hot and delicious hibachi-cooked meat and veggies at the speed of fast food, and at a price cheaper than sit-down hibachi grills. Also, our Mango Crab sushi roll was delicious… I highly recommend this as a perfect place for lunch.“

“We ALWAYS like to try different restaurants when we visit a city. During our many trips to Legacy Hall, we decided to try the hibachi. I am sure glad we did! The food was delicious and flavorful. The atmosphere and vibe are always great! We will definitely come eat and hang out again!“

“A large menu to choose from. Good, prompt & friendly service.“

“Great spot…. High grade sushi 🍣 for a good price. Have ate here multiple times since the new ownership and it’s been 5 stars each time!!! Amazing job 🥳🏆🏆“

“Good staff and good food they cook the food in your face“

“First time here, our chef put so much salt on the rice and steak it was hard to eat. When I say so much I mean so much. He also made some off color comments that weren’t appropriate while cooking the food. I will come again to see if it still holds true.“

“Their food is healthy and yummy. A lot of choices. You can make your own bowl. Don’t miss their chasu (roasted pork). They are so tender. Their Hong Kong style milk tea is a must try. They are much tasty than the bubble milk tea. If you like the aroma of tea more than sugar. Their Hong Kong milk tea will blow your mind. The lemon tea is also great. 852 Cafe has just joined them recently. Check out their menu . You will see the food you won’t find in other restaurants.“

“My family stopped by on a busy Friday night. The service was great, the food was out quickly and tasted great plus the regular sushi rolls (2 for $10) are a great value. I highly recommend them.“

“Kid-friendliness: The owners were so kind! Our kids had never had sushi before and the owners let them watch as they made the sushi. Our son LOVED the pork dumplings. He said “these should be on the news!” 🤣
Our daughter ate a whole bowl of the edamame.
Everything was delicious“

“Great atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Attentive and warm service . Will be back.“

“amazing sushi and miso soup!“

“Great food, friendly staff!“

“Had a great experience at Sushi Box! The sushi and rolls were super delicious—fresh and full of flavor. The service was excellent and very attentive, and the atmosphere was clean and comfortable. We also appreciated that the background music was at a perfect volume—nice to listen to without making conversation difficult. Definitely a spot we’d come back to!“

“I'm so fckn glad yall are back. I haven't had sushi since you guys closed !!! thanks !! I will keep referring everyone I can“

“I know everyone has their doubts about all you can places, especially Sushi! Let me tell you Suchi Damu will take away all those doubts and is a must try! Everything was fresh and for $28 all you can’t beat it!!“

“We happened to stop in since we were in Frisco. It was a great place for lunch!“

“Love Kotta Sushi! Best sushi in town.“

“The sushi from here was so fresh and delicious. I got the hurricane shrimp roll and the Philly roll both were rolled perfectly and the presentation was amazing! The cashier seemed annoyed that I interrupted her conversation with another coworker and I thanked her many times throughout the transaction and she never acknowledged me but I would definitely come back to try more rolls.“

“Esta delicioso solo que si es un. Poco tardado“
