50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Murphy

“Delicious Japanese food and great service“

“We placed a delivery lunch order for 10 people this week. Ordering by phone was easy, friendly, and quick. Everything arrived well packaged, well labeled, and so fresh. Thank you!“

“I’ve been visiting this location for years, through 3+ name changes. We visited last Saturday night for hibachi.  I love their yum yum sauce, and the meat is always well flavored fresh off the grill.  Despite there being open tables in the main dining area and at the hibachi tables in the main room, we were asked to wait in the lobby area for about 15 minutes.  The host seemed to be working the front, the bar, and taking payments for tables throughout the restaurant. He was friendly, but clearly over extended and busy. We were seated at a hibachi table with one other couple.  I was concerned we’d be waiting for a while for our chef since the attached table was being cooked for, but our chef came out rather quickly.  There were no kids at the table so the “show” was rather quick, but I think we all appreciated that because we were hungry lol.  We did get to do the initial fire, the catch an egg in your mouth, and the choo choo/volcano tricks though.  The chef was attentive giving each of us our requested sauces, and cooking our steaks perfectly.  We started with the crab puffs, similar to crab wontons which were cooked and fine, but more cream cheese than crab.  I ordered the dinner hibachi with filet and scallops and upgraded to friend rice, and my husband ordered the dinner shrimp hibachi with friend rice.  The soup is served hot with a couple of slices of mushrooms, and the salad comes with a giant spoonful of ginger dressing.  Hibachi dinner comes with clear soup, salad, white rice, noodles, 2 shrimp appetizer, and veggies.  My filet was cooked perfectly medium rare, cooked in butter, salt and pepper, and a touch of sauce, it was melt in your mouth tasty.  The scallops were also cooked well tender, not rubbery, hot and seared perfectly. Shrimp were cooked in butter, seasoning, and teriyaki style sauce.  So much food, so many leftovers, and full bellies. The only downside was that we couldn’t get drinks or pay the bill, and we tried.  The drink refills are kind of a big deal here, as everything is salty, so this was frustrating.  Our server was nice and took our order quickly bringing us our first drink quickly as well.  But we didn’t see her again after that, and no one, besides our chef, came to serve us after that. She was seated with a large party in the main dining room shortly after we were seated, and it seemed like she was too busy with them to tend to us.  That seemed to be the issue in general, not enough employees to manage the number of customers present. We grabbed our own to go containers and had to leave the table twice to ask to pay.  The host finally came back so we could pay on the machine, and we didn’t see our server a second time.   Overall, will be back for the food, but aware they are understaffed.“

“Our first time trying this restaurant was great. We had the crab Rangoon, shrimp hibachi with fried rice, shrimp and steak teriyaki with fried rice, and Philadelphia rolls. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. The crab Rangoon actually tasted like crab and was freshly made. The sushi was delicious. The rice bowls were tasty and the serving was generous. The customer service was impeccable. We were treated very well and even though we went close to closing no one was rude or rushed us out the building. I would certainly go back and I do recommend them.“

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

“Great food and service. Can’t say I’ve ever had anything bad here“

“Dr. Nguyen is great! The staff very professional and friendly! I would highly recommend!“

“The best sushi in the world and I mean it. It’s a must try. Hands down the most amazing sushi you will ever have .“

“Had the shrimp katsu which was very tasty and the sides from the deluxe box paired well. It was pretty empty when we went which was surprising given the quality of the food. Would definitely go again. Downside is the plastic utensils and the water was warm. Also the miso soup was too salty. The restaurant is self serve which I prefer.“

“Absolutely love Sushi Go! The shrimp tempura roll is hands down the best I’ve ever had. The tempura is perfectly crispy, the shrimp is fresh and flavorful, and the balance of textures is incredible. Every bite melts in your mouth, and the presentation is just as stunning as the taste. The atmosphere at Sushi Go is welcoming and the service is always top-notch. If you’re a fan of sushi, you must try their shrimp tempura roll—it’s perfection on a plate! Definitely a 5-star experience! The owner is the best! Great customer service.

The customer service was amazing because I stubbled in looking for something quick for lunch. With all the food and the price I had a great lunch and will be taking my friends this Friday??“

“This place is so quaint and aesthetically pleasing! Was greeted by the owner and she recommended some great items. We got the chai and matcha latte with the omurice and loaded fries which were all so delicious! Would come back again to try other things!“

“We went here for the first time for our 10 yr wedding anniversary and had an amazing experience. Great service, absolutely delicious menu and drinks. The food melts in your mouth. I can’t recommend this place enough“

“Delicious and the Atmosphere made me feel like I stepped into a small hole in the wall in Japan and it was great!“

“People don’t lie while referring to this restaurant as a hidden gem in downtown Plano. It is absolutely delicious! We had an amazing date night, the sushi tasted so fresh and delicious, I loved their house cold sake. Service was excellent as well. Definitely became my favorite sushi restaurant in Plano.“

“I ordered the dragon roll with edemas and miso soup and my husband ordered the Las Vegas Roll and they took out the crab. (which is good bc my husband is allergic) the place is small but very cozy! The staff are very nice and polite. 10/10 recommended :3“

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

“Good stuff highly recommend“

“They carry the most Japanese products in the Dallas area and have such a great food court.“

“The food, service, and decor were excellent. The music ? was too loud and phrenetic for my taste. It made me nervous ?. I shouldn't sit next to the speaker. That's on me. The bathrooms could use decorating. They were rather dark and stark. I do want to go back tho'. Nice local cafe'. I hope they aren't out of fried rice again.“

“I have been so patient with waiting for the opportunity to finally try this ramen place! They opened up and by the time I had the chance to go they were temporarily closed. Needless to say I am very excited that they are finally open again! If you live in the 4 corners area of Frisco, Allen, McKinney, Plano you know that there's slim pickin's of GOOD ramen places around. I promise you that this one is so worth it!!! I placed an online order for take out and it said "ready in 20 min." I kid you not I walked into the building right at the 20 minute mark and the man was stapleing the bag to my order closed. Talk about precise! The man working told me that there weren't any bean sprouts in my ramen order because so they weren't fresh, to compensate he gave me an entire order of 4 veggie rolls. What?! Love that level of customer service! Plus, I was debating on even getting the veg rolls and now I'll always order them because they are delicious! Sushi was always amazing and the ramen was so good! The only adjustment I'll make to it next time is to ask for my miso veg ramen it a little spicy. My husbands spicy ramen was PLENTY spicy enough. He loved it!!! Now everytime I have a ramen craving we will be at Kuma!“

“I was concerned walking in thinking it was a to go and small place in the food was going to be mediocre at best, but I was sorely mistaken. The beef and chicken teriyaki and fried noodles is amazing. The egg rolls are great, just nothing spectacularly different , however, the grilled meat and the tereaki sauce with grilled veggies was absolutely delightful! There is no brewed tea which I missed, but water was good and filtered. The atmosphere is plain and there is no real music or background art or decal on the wall other than the logo. I will be back! Great lunch!“

“Got a couple of simple rolls. Very affordable and pretty good fish quality! Ready on time too, and website ordering process was easy. Appreciated that they put the ginger and wasabi in separate deli cups. Will be returning to try a poke bowl soon.*Note for others--This is part of a revolving kitchen facility, not a dine in restaurant.*“

“fresh fish, sashimi they serve in special plate ,we can choose the fish, all the food fresh , servers are great, i have my wife birthday with 20 guests“

“Matsui’s Japanese food court is a delightful haven for katsu and tempura enthusiasts. The katsu is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, showcasing a mastery of traditional cooking techniques. Paired with a side of fluffy rice and flavorful miso soup, each bite is a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that leave a lasting impression. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, Matsui’s commitment to quality and taste shines through in every dish, making it a must-visit for Japanese cuisine lovers.“

“My family loves Basil cafe! Typically Asian restaurants are not as known for their services. But every time we visit Basil cafe, we are impressed by them. They are super friendly and easy to talk to. Then it is the food. My kids love Ramens from Basil cafe, they are delicious. My husband and I love they have a large selection of food choices. I feel every time we come, we found something we love. Definitely highly recommended!“

“Fresh, delicious, quality sushi at at such a great price. This is truly a hidden gem!“

“Stopped in for lunch today and it was wonderful!! Fresh Cooked to order. Can’t wait to go back and try more things.“

“Wow, the breaded sushi is spectacular, I give it a Michelin star?. We liked it a lot. The place is small but very nice. Very good service, very clean and tidy. They have many dishes, soups, ramen, salads, etc.
The chocolate cheesecake is good because it is not cloying.
I will definitely return.
Thank you !! ??

“Absolutely amazing!!!! Best sushi place in Dallas I’ve been to in quality, and then the price is also unbeatable. Also, the folks working were so kind and able to accommodate some changes.

“Staff speaks Spanish fluently“

“Ordered two entrees for first time today at Garland location. Absolutely delicious! Great friendly service. Definitely be back!“

“I went here every time I needed a lunch meal at my internship bc it was just that good. Fresh ingredients and any combination you make will come out delicious. If you're indecisive or nervous about ordering you can fill out a paper form and take as long as you need to craft your bowl. $13-14 bucks is worth every bite. I love edamame. Picture does not do it justice because I was simply too enthralled with my meal and wanted to skip to eating it as quickly as possible.“

“This is my favorite pick up spot for sushi ?❤️My kids loves the pink rice and taste is always on spot!! We also love catering from here for parties!! Taste and presentation always is 10/10! Definitely recommend other people to try! The best part is that they use beet juice for the pink rice so it’s also so healthy for you??“
