50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Great Falls

“I’ve eaten at Izumi many times; the sushi is reliably good … 4 stars for the sushi. Unfortunately the Chinese is reliably awful. We’ve tried it several times and it’s just not worth risking again … I wish it wasn’t so, but zero stars for the Chinese.“

“The staff and service was impeccable. This is hands down the best sushi restaurant I've ever experienced. The seafood is incredibly fresh, and every dish is visually stunning. The creativity behind the sauces truly sets this place apart, and I even heard the chef makes his own soy sauce—which absolutely shows in the depth of flavor. The Japanese uni was beautifully presented, and the tuna was a deep, rich red that melted in my mouth, finished perfectly with a delicate sprinkle of truffle oil. Every bite felt intentional and expertly crafted. I only wish I lived closer—this would easily be my daily go-to restaurant.“

“We came here on a cold windy night and the shabu shabu hit the spot! The staff were very friendly and helpful as they explained and showed us what to do. We ordered prime rib, pork, and shrimp as the proteins. I had a tonkotsu + tomato broth and my husband had the spicy miso + tonkatsu broth. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. We’ll be returning for sure. I recommend California Shabu Shabu!“

“Great experience! loved my Bulgogi lunch box special ✨️🙌 staff is very warm and kind! what a pleasant experience!“

“This feels exactly what I want a sushi place to feel like. It is clean with a nice modern feel and the service is professional but kind. The food came out fast and all of the sushi was delicious, my favorite being the maguro nigiri. I do wish the rice to fish ratio was a bit higher, but I will happily come back despite that minor difference in opinion.“

“It was a bit if a wait for our reserved table of 4, but luckily there were seats at the bar to hang for a bit. Victoria served great white tea shots!
Our server Corey was very attentive, humorous and dealt with all our requests with a smile. The food was flavorful but very small portions.
Parking was validated but did not work, we called the customer service number so they can open the gates.“

“Umami 😌🤌🏻🤏🏻 every single dishes is great! The sushi was spot on!! 🍣🍜🍱 Plus first time trying “A5 Wagyu” num num num exceptional service from Thai employees!! I’m so proud of them! He asked me is it my first time here? So Yes! Then he started recommending all of those signature dishes which I was gonna ask him since the first place but he did a very good job beginning with that! Plus he was genuinely kindhearted and care for his guests. The chef(I guess)also delivered food by himself with A5 Wagyu and other stuffs for you! The music also made it a lot more enjoyable! Impressive! Gotta go back!!“

“Very tasty! Nice new hole in wall.“

“excellent ramen and customer service. I am beyond impressed!!! Great job!!!!“

“It’s a local Japanese ramen sushi place, the food was pretty decent. We had the tofu bento box, unagi rice bowl and Osaka meat lover ramen. Everything was good and the service was prompt and nice. It was a cold cold week so the ramen hit the spot.“

“We are BIG Monica fans. We've eaten at Kusshi three times, and Monica makes the experience so enjoyable for us. The drinks are top notch and the sushi is the best in the area without a doubt. We're big sushi snobs and Kusshi checks every box!“

“Ivan was on top of service with how quick he was to take orders and to clean up dirty dishes, he also gave good recommendations.
The place looks very clean and upscale.
Food was top notch, not bad for the price.
Will come back again!“

“I happily got my sushi fix here. The Dynamite Crunch roll was great! The eel avocado roll was good, but after splurging on the Dynamite, it seemed plain in comparison.
Very nice couple working there and quiet classical music playing in the background was good.“

“Excellent Sushi, fantastic sashimi!“

“We had an amazing dining experience with our server Sathitphorn, service was amazing and the ambience was nice, more of a hole in the wall gem restaurant and we will be back to try more of the menu! The Kiku Sake was delish and so was the wagyu steak.“

“tengo 15 años de venir aqui sin dudarlo se lo recomiendo la mejor comida“

“Awesome food, great specials menu (check it out as you walk through the door!) very friendly staff. Great location overall!“

“This is my first time at sushi oishi ayce and it really exceeded my expectations. This place was suggested by a friend and I finally came here. The wait was a bit long due to it being busy but I got seated within 10 minutes. The service was pretty good but the sashimi came 25 minutes after I ordered it. The food overall pretty good and the sushi rolls arrived within 5 minutes of ordering them. The staff were also pretty attentive.“

“I really enjoy with with Matcha drink tonight“

“It took me years to find a good ramen and sushi place, this place is the best! The owner is so sweet and welcoming, can’t find customer service like what she give anymore. My husband and I make it a point to god every month or two, you always get quality. As being spoiled by NY and NJ for several years we’re picky but this is our spot.“

“place is beautiful. i will def be back. loved it!!!!! takoyaki and ramen were delish!!!!!“

“We had the most wonderful dinner tonight celebrating a birthday. Quan Tran was amazing! The food was so good and he was so fun!“

“Outstanding dinning experience! We’ve been to and have had Korean BBQ, but NOTHING compares to this! The quality of food, knowledgeable staff, creative cocktails and atmosphere are what make this restaurant well worth the visit. EVERYTHING was OUTSTANDING! I’ve never enjoyed a restaurant more that Gyu-shige! AAA+ We will be back!“

“I have eaten here dozens of times including my birthday this year. The food and service have consistently been incredible! My family loves the atmosphere and friendly staff, and even my kiddos ask to stop by for shrimp pops. Definitely recommend Ariake!“

“The sushi is amazing-as well as the appetizers. Service is perfect and the restaurant is gorgeous!! A must when visiting VA Beach!!“

“I've tried all the sushi restaurants in Vienna, and Sushi Yama is hands down the best. The fish is always fresh, the service is friendly and efficient, and the quality is consistently excellent. They have a great variety on the menu, and everything is prepared with care. My go-to spot—highly recommend!“

“Great sushi, friendly staff, and pretty ambiance. Definitely recommend!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“I’ve found a new favorite Japanese restaurant! Real Japanese food made with actual Japanese ingredients, not the same as the stuff you find in mall food courts or at that [FAST]way chain joint. I ordered the Chicken and Steak Hibachi and the Chicken Yakisoba, and they were both delicious! Portions aren’t generous though, but healthy; you won’t feel overstuffed after eating.“

“Great food. amazing service“

“I'd been craving takoyaki for days, and suddenly decided to drive over late at night. Surprisingly, even though it was close to closing time, they still served me. The waitress, Emily, recommended some dishes, and we ordered them right away. She wasn't just beautiful and kind-hearted, she was practically a buddy! Apparently, she's only there on Fridays and weekends. There were only her and one other guy working at the front; everyone else was chatting. Everything was great, and she even recommended two drinks – such good value! She was so friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a worthwhile trip, and I'll definitely come back!“

“yummmmmm bento box did not disappoint“

“I went here with my sisters and found the place empty. I was confused as to why, as I later found the food to be great! I had ordered the halal chicken ramen and added spice. It was warm, yummy and the chicken was seasoned amazingly. I ordered the edamame, and for 6.50 I expected a little more than what I got. I enjoyed the self serve water dispenser. I am giving a 4 - star review because my sister had ordered separately (she got the same thing) and her broth was very bland. As someone who does not have halal options near them, this was great!“

“Excellent sushi restaurant! We were in Vienna and craving sushi and found this gem. We were seated right away, greeted with a smile and had a lovely evening. We started off with the edamame and miso soup and salad. We were BLOWN away with how good everything was right off the bat! The house salad had a onion sauce on the top that was so good! Best house salad I’ve ever had at a sushi restaurant. Then we both had rolls that were amazing! Joanne was our waitress and she was so kind and efficient. She even provided us with recommendations and a great description of some of the dishes I asked about. We will definitely be back next time we are in Vienna! Thank you so much!“

“Excellent presentation in hibachi food tossing around and amazing our sights and senses!“

“Very good little bowls! There's lots of options to choose from, and it looks pretty. The amount of fish in the Sake Don is pretty good for what you pay. Note that this place is inside a food court; if you're not digging the shared table scene, consider ordering to go.“

“This my first time being there and eating at a sushi buffet. Excellent food quality and Perfect customer service. Employees really care for their customers.“

“I haven’t been there in a while and decided to take a lunch to go. When I arrived, I saw a sign at the door saying it opens at 11, and it was still only 10. They told me I can place my order. Everyone was so nice and polite. I was their first employee, and their smile really made my day. Plus the food was hot, fresh, a large portion and very affordable. I will definitely go more often.“

“I always love the sushis over there & he loves the beef bento..“

“Definitely recommend this place! The staff is so sweet! I’m pregnant and ordered the firework roll and it was the best thing I’ve eaten my entire pregnancy.
The prices are reasonable, great quality food, and quick friendly service. Love this place!“

“Yummy 😋 it’s my favorite restaurant 😋😍“

“I eat here more than I should probably admit. The seared salmon belly is truly perfection. Coming here and not getting it is criminal. Also highly recommend the walu with wasabi pickle, spicy tuna roll, house roll, hamachi belly, mushroom miso soup. The staff are wonderful, too. It’s a small spot, but two people can still get a seat without a reservation.“

“This is my absolute favorite sushi place! There are so many different rolls and nigiri to choose from. I love sushi, but my eyes are often bigger than my stomach, so I appreciate paying by the plate. I really hope they open a location in Richmond sometime to save me the drive.“

“Amazing Sushi and Sashimi - Definitely a Must to Sooo... Fresh and Delicious. We will definitely be Back for more...“

“A Hidden Gem in McLean — Exceptional Food, Authentic Service

If you’re looking for unforgettable Japanese cuisine in McLean, Miyagi is the place to go. This restaurant consistently delivers some of the most thoughtfully prepared, beautifully balanced dishes I’ve had anywhere in the area. Every plate is crafted with care, and the flavors—paired with their excellent selection of spirits—are truly something special. It’s the kind of food that keeps you thinking about it long after you leave.

A quick note on the service: the husband-and-wife team who run the front of house are extremely professional and focused. Yes, they may come across as serious at first, but I’ve learned that this is simply their way of ensuring everything is done right. They are attentive, efficient, and committed to giving diners the best possible experience. The wife in particular runs the floor with precision—some may misread her seriousness as grumpiness, but she is simply dedicated to doing her job well.

If you appreciate exceptional food and authentic, no-nonsense service, you will love Miyagi. This is a place that values quality above all else, and it shows in every bite. Treat your taste buds to something extraordinary—you won’t be disappointed.“

“UNBELIEVABLE FIND! Absolutely the best sushi! Fresh and delicious! The salmon melted in my mouth! The teriyaki plates were amazing. The staff is so nice and sweet. My wife and I had an incredible experience. We travel an hour each way just to eat here!“

“Tried Quickway Japanese Hibachi in Glen Burnie for the 1st time tonight. Food was cheap but they got my order wrong. 😢 I wanted to try the shrimp hibachi but they gave both my husband and I chicken. We got it with the fried rice, noodles, and veggies with lots of yum yum sauce. Sides of chicken dumplings and chicken egg rolls. I still enjoyed mine. My husband said that his was bland and he was not a fan. Make sure you check the box if you order pickup from them like I did! It’s basically the food you would expect from a mall food court.🍗 🍜 🍚 🥟“
