50 Best Japanese Restaurants near The Colony

“Great food and friendly staff, fast service“

“Wasabi and Wok is our favorite Japanese /Chinese place of all time. The dishes always taste perfect, the order is always correct, I never have to check the bag or just hope it’s right. I know it’s going to be right. We have never ate inside but it’s always nice and calm when I go in there.

p.s. I like to make a point and order pick up directly from their website because door dash is always more expensive, literally 100% of the time.“

“Hello reader,

Food:
I’m fairly new to the area and I was in search of a good sushi place and Nori Sushi did not disappoint. The selection and prices are amazing. Today I ordered a chicken katsu bento box and the vegetable fried rice in order to try a variety of food. The katsu was amazing and so were the California rolls. I did also enjoy the cabbage slaw and salad but personally I’m not a fan of too much dressing or slaw but they were still enjoyable.
Customer Service:
When I walked in I was initially greeted and able to sit wherever I wanted. I also receive excellent service throughout the duration of my meal.
Atmosphere:
The atmosphere visually is good and the place has a nice vibe. They chose very nice decor and made great use of the space here. I greatly appreciate that. Also from what I’ve noticed the place seems to be a “mom and pop” kind of place and I also appreciate this too as I like to spend my money with the local businesses rather than large corporations.

Thank you very much for the experience and I will definitely return 🙏12-18-25“

“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.“

“Wanted a casual but quality sushi fix and was not disappointed. Food was great, very clean and fresh tasting ingredients, the store was clean, the speed of service was efficient, and pricing very reasonable. You pay upfront and get your food as soon as it's ready. I chose to dine there since it wasn't busy. Note: they only have a couple of tables but I saw a few customers stop by to order takeout“

“Moriya’s homemade curry is soooooo good. It absolutely hits the spot for me every time… rich, comforting, and packed with deep umami flavor. And their frothy tonkotsu broth is so unique too… creamy, flavorful, and just delicious. Beware that seating is limited and service can be slow at peak hours.“

“The variety of food on the all-you-can-eat menu is great, and our waiter Nathan was incredible. He was on top of everything, and when my daughter said she loved the robot (the machine that brings food to your table) he brought it back out just for her. Definitely a new go-to for us.“

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

“My husband and I did the omakase on Tuesday for $60 on special. It was so delicious and very reasonable. We will be back.“

“Absolutely loved my visit to Hanakin! The sushi was super fresh and everything tasted amazing. The vibe was really cool—perfect spot to hang out or grab a nice dinner. Service was quick and the staff made us feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.“

“We visited this all-you-can-eat sushi buffet for my son’s birthday, and it was the perfect choice. The sushi and sashimi were fresh and delicious, with a great variety of rolls, nigiri, and hot dishes—everything was well-seasoned and beautifully prepared. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive; plates were cleared quickly, refills came right away. The restaurant was clean, spacious, and comfortable, so we could relax and enjoy the celebration. Excellent value for the quality and service—we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended for family outings and special occasions! 🍣🎉“

“I love sushi, and the food at this restaurant is very good. The ingredients are also very fresh. The most important thing to eat Japanese food is the freshness of the ingredients. Especially raw food. The sushi at this restaurant is quite delicious. The combination of soy sauce and rice, in addition to fresh ingredients. It is simply delicious. Highly recommended to everyone.“

“Our first visit and it was very tasty. The staff is great. Nothing bad to say about this place. Check it out!“

“After a long convention and a bunch of tummy rumbling, I was hungry and scared of trying a new ramen in a now town. Lynzeee and Ricardo welcomed us with a smile and I knew I was in good hands. From the food to the drinks, they had us covered. I appreciate you guys and your amazing service!“

“Love the food delicious 🤤“

“I love this place! they never disappoint. My daughter ordered the baked salmon and I enjoyed the Valcano roll...( Delicious) I also appreciate the great service. I will definitely be back! ☺️“

“Food was great! Atmosphere was fantastic! I would totally recommend! Our server gave us free Sushi Rolls as a welcome to coming in the restaurant! She also gave my mom a flower for valentine’s day! The wait was not long and she was spectacular!“

“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 🍣“

“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.“

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

“We are not from the area (Brock, TX) & went before attending the Addison Improv. So glad we did! Excellent service & amazing/fresh sushi. We definitely plan to find a reason to make the drive to dine there again!!“

“The person who served us was extremely kind and personable. He made sure we ate raw fish once we ordered the Carrollton roll.

The roll itself was a classic strip mall roll. The fish wasn't smelly. All aspects paired well together.

Since the fish wasn't good, I'd like to go back and try their poke.“

“The coolest hibachi, food is the bomb“

“Service was quick and servers were super friendly! We were greeted with a smile & Jin was a lovely server. Gluten free soy sauce was available, which was awesome and the steak and chicken fried rice was a great portion size of the proteins! Definitely recommend for affordable sushi and hibachi!!“

“This lace is absolutely awesome!“

“I liked the food and they served generous portions It is a nice, casual spot with a great atmosphere, making it a perfect neighborhood gem for anyone looking to try quality Japanese cuisine.
We tried the Angry John roll, Tiger roll, California roll along with Miso soup, tempura shrimp and Edamame. At the end they gave us peeled oranges which was nice.“

“Friends from Texas recommended this ramen while we were visiting from New York. Hands down the best I've had. The seafood ramen was amazing; super fresh and the portions are perfect. The gyoza was fabulous as well! Looking forward to visiting again and trying out some of your other dishes!“

“My kids both asked me to leave a 5 star review. Everything was delicious! They ordered lobster ramen and teriyaki chicken and 0 complaints!“

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

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

“餐點美味，服務親切，價格合理，座位寬敞，明亮整潔！“

“I had such a wonderful experience last Friday!

From the moment we sat down, Zoe took incredible care of us. She was on top of everything all night!! Attentive, friendly, and genuinely kind. What really stood out was how knowledgeable she was about the entire menu, including the drinks. She answered every question with confidence and made recommendations that were absolutely spot on. Every single thing she suggested was amazing!
And of course, the sushi itself deserves major praise. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the texture was perfect!! It was tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can truly tell they use high quality ingredients and put care into every roll.

I highly recommend the bulgogi cracker, the volcano scallops, and the shaggy dog roll — they were absolutely delicious! Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of their sushi choices.

Between the outstanding service from Zoe and the exceptional food, this place easily earns five stars. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Spectacular sushi at a spectacular value! I've driven by this place I don't know how many times always intending to try, but now I did and I'm super glad that this is now in my regular rotation of places. The account of fish you get is huge and the taste is stellar. Can't say enough good things about this place.“

“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.“

“We try to come here a couple times every month, the owners are so friendly and the sushi is always fresh. They always have gentle and upbeat music playing, and the sushi bar is very cool and creates a nice ambiance. We always grab 4-5 rolls, a spicy edamame, and a couple orders of sake. Have been probably 20 times now, and the experience is always a 10/10.“

“My family of 5 have been ordering from here for years. This is a restaurant where all 3 of my picky children can find something and not complain. My teen loves all their sushi and tries something new every time we go. My 8 year old son gets the salmon and has proclaimed it’s “the best salmon ever” every time. You get 2 fillets which is a huge portion! He even picked it for his family birthday dinner. I love their shaken fillet and chicken which is basically the hibachi. The portions are giant! My husband randomly DoorDash’s their chicken friend rice he likes it so much. It is pricey but well worth it for the amount of food. The atmosphere is really nice and would be a great place for a date night or to take work clients. The owners are wonderful! Highly recommended giving it a try!“

“So yummy!! So glad we came. Definitely bringing more family.“

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

“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 🤧“

“Great food. Friendly staff.“

“GREATEST. TERIYAKI. EVER. And friend, they know it. They are so good they only have to be open for lunch. It's incredible. I am in love with this place. If I have the money, I would beg them to let me franchise this place. It is too good. You could open up one of these anywhere in America and it would just crush it.

When I was young, and I only had a bike, I worked in a warehouse about 2 miles from here. Even in the Texas summer I was happy to make the ride here at least twice a week for lunch. I still try to stop here if I am ever anywhere nearby at lunch.

Seriously, this might be my favorite restaurant of all time. Thank you so much for being a wonderful part of my life and the community for all these years. I really appreciate all the effort that went into those experiences you made for me.“

“Great food and generous portions. We will be going again.“

“I had this for the first time a few months ago and I was in heaven I’m not a big ramen guy but that broth has me fiendish and I’ll be back in a few days. The food was absolutely delicious and I only ask that you don’t move like your sister store Mei Asian Cuisine that had the best mini lobster tacos ever. See ya soon“

“Such a gem to find! My mom and I were looking for a casual sushi spot and we loved this place. It was just one man working the counter and making the food. He was very pleasant and was handling the incoming customers by himself well. His rolls were great and so reasonably priced! We would love to come back!“

“I recently visited Musashi while in the area, and I was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere is inviting, with a sleek, modern interior that adds to the overall experience. Even though we visited on a busy Friday night, our server Zico was fantastic—attentive and friendly throughout our meal. The staff was warm and accommodating, making us feel welcome. We enjoyed the ishiyaki and sashimi tasting, and the freshness of the fish was remarkable. The wagyu was also an exceptional treat, well worth the price. They also have amazing cocktails that perfectly complemented our meal. We often stop at various sushi restaurants and this experience was truly one to remember. I highly recommend checking this unique spot out!“

“Fantastic value for the quality! 🥢 Their AYCE dinner buffet is only $36.95 and is served at your table, which makes the whole experience feel elevated. The sushi is fresh and beautifully plated — even offering scallop, a rare find at AYCE spots. You also get your first alcoholic drink included! I love that they have green tea ice cream in the buffet menu:) Friendly service, great teamwork, and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone who loves quality sushi at a great price!“

“I had the BEST time here. The food in the restaurant was so good and then the karaoke rooms are themed and unthemed for all kinds of fun. I want to come back for my birthday. The staff and atmosphere is absolutely worth the drive.“

“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 🥳🏆🏆“

“Delicious “fireside cooking” or Robatayaki in which items of food on skewers are slow-grilled over hot charcoal. Liver, hart, tongue etc. the fresh items, Sashimi and Sushi are excellent as well. Wonderful services from owner and her staff. Sushi chef’s are excellent prepared sushi at the bar. Love cozy atmosphere as well.“

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