25 Best Japanese Restaurants near Glen Allen

“Arilang has some of the freshest fish in the area served up some gorgeous plating. The atmosphere is relaxed and quiet, the staff are super friendly and attentive. I cannot recommend this place more. Also this was one of the few spots that served up hand rolls! We will surely be returning.“

“Awesome food. Awesome service. But mostly, awesome people!!!!!!!! It’s our go to restaurant now!“

“We absolutely love Tokyo Sushi. The food is amazing and the owners are so welcoming and kind.“

“We had an Omakase dinner upstairs at the small private sushi bar. What an experience! Freshest, high quality fish, prepared by a wonderful, experienced chef. First place in RVA to have it. With Omakase the chef chooses for you (can request changes for diet/allergy). Different than the sushi menu. Clean. Inventive. We had mackerel, baby scallop, amberjack, sea bass, shrimp, snow crab, sea bream, fluke, salmon, so many tuna varieties, and others. Some simple. Some lightly torched. Some with drops of truffle or wasabi, or sea salt - that all brought out the flavors. The host and chef were so nice and clearly excited to share their artistry! Lovely! Will be back for sure and I can’t believe we have this in RVA. It’s a gift for those who love sushi and want something outside of the typical.“

“There’s rust on the buffets, the food was room temperature and the bathrooms look like they haven’t been cleaned in years. There is so much build up on the faucets and there is dried human waste smeared in the stalls. I left an entire plate of food sitting there because there was no way I was eating food prepared there after I saw the conditions presented to the public. I don’t even want to think about what the kitchen looks like.“

“Kanpai‼️Awesome Happy Hour “Sake” Sushi 🍱 Bar Excellent“

“Dining in for a romantic evening, family outing, friend outing and self date. The food was amazing. The waitress was pleasant and very quick. The chef was nice and very friendly and humorous.“

“Great food and atmosphere! I would recommend coming here for the Sushi and Hibachi!“

“Me and my boyfriend came for Valentine’s Day and it was amazing the hostess was so sweet and took us to our amazing seat upstairs. Our servers imoni and Andrea were so attentive to our every need very entertaining and made our experience really worth while. We got so much food 2 apps, 2 entrees, 2 sushi rolls and dessert and didn’t spend more than 100 dollars I’d definitely come back and recommend this place for everyone!“

“Delicious! Server was so sweet and the restaurant is adorable. This place is definitely what the reviews claim it to be!“

“Stopped by today at lunchtime to get something for dinner, put it in the fridge for a few hours, then microwaved it, so freaking good! Based on previous bad reviews, I seriously did not expect you to be this good but I've got probably 2 1/2 meals for $12, highly recommend!“

“Great sushi and atmosphere!“

“I live Yoshi Sushi! They have always given me great service and very tasty food. I worked with sushi restaurants for about 10 years and I can say that the quality is great for the price. I always get the Tropical roll, it’s like dessert. The sushi rice is delicious, cooked just right. Nothing worse than sushi with overcooked rice. The foods that come from the kitchen are also great. Shrimp and veggie tempura, hibachi, and yaki soba are among my favorites.“

“I admit that I slept on this place when it first opened. I was expecting a lower price point and more "bar food" and instead it's authentic/elevated Japanese and worth every dollar. The menu changes all the time so you can always try something new.“

“I enjoyed the show by Chef Leo and the staff was courteous and professional and most of all the food was awesome“

“Super delicious premium sushi! 🍣 Totally worth the price!“

“Maui was our chef and he was cracking us up the whole time. His sense of humor was only rivaled by the deliciousness of his food. This is the best hibachi I have ever had. The food was amazing.“

“My regular sushi place is closed on Mondays, so I took a chance & ordered from "Not Just Sushi" in the same shopping center as Food Lion, kind of near the new Target on Staples Mill Road, across from the big Kroger, etc... kind of near where the Pizza Hut is in that shopping center.
It was SO GOOD!! I really loved it! I got some kind of roll that was a specialty roll, had shrimp, cream cheese, etc., and a crab salad, and the dumpling things I call pot stickers, everything was absolutely delicious, and what I really liked was that the man was SO incredibly grateful & appreciative for the business, he was so nice and wanted to please, for sure, and that's so nice to find these days!
Y'all go give "Not Just Sushi" a try! You won't regret it!“

“Good location Great Food“

“By far the best sushi I’ve ever had. I don’t know how this place isn’t 5.0 stars. Extremely fresh. Fantastic beer and miso soup as well. Very kind staff. Rolls are great but the fish deserves to be eaten as nigiri or sashimi. Fresh real wasabi as well. This place is a must if you’re in the area and a sushi connoisseur.“

“We had excellent service. Our food was delicious. Delivered quickly. Our evening was so fun and we love this place. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We came here on an ad in Reach magazine, and I'm so glad we did. We've been twice, two different days of the week, different times of the day. The service is stellar, the staff is so nice. The rolls are exactly the right size. But what really sells this restaurant is the environment. The music is low but present, the seating is comfortable, and the overall "vibe" feels inviting.

The food, without a doubt, is fantastic. While we haven't done hibachi, if it's as good as the sushi, I will have to try it soon.

Kid-friendliness: Small kids menu but very standard“

“Wok N Roll is a Restaurant I always love visiting. The Staff are always so kind and polite. The food is prepared fresh and hot and always on time. I would recommend anyone in Richmond or the surrounding areas to give them a try. They definitely deserve 5 🌟⭐⭐⭐⭐ !!!!😊“

“chicken,shrimp with rice and noodles added 🍄“

“I ordered a quick lunch pickup, a pork banh mi. It was perfect! Fresh baked bread, tender pork in a creamy peanut sauce and topped with a ton of fresh cilantro, carrot and jalapeño. I couldn't ask for more, and it was under $6!“
