13 Best Japanese Restaurants in Newport News

“I have been coming to this restaurant for 30+ years and it is always a treat! Mr. & Mrs. Han do a wonderful job. The food is always very fresh, the portions are plentiful, and the presentation is delightful. Shoku is such a joy to have as a waitress. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about Sushi Yama. Try it for yourself. You will be glad you did.“

“Our family ordered takeout and could not have been happier. The shrimp hibachi, sushi, and rolls were out of this world!“

“Come here almost every day ! Love this place ❤️“

“The people that own Juicy Teriyaki are so kind no matter the time of day. Always call in and within 15 minutes, the food is hot, ready, and served with a smile. The man and woman I always see are always kind and sometimes if they have time, will chat and get to know their customers. Punch card was a game charger for $ off once filled. It is entirely worth the price and the sushi is phenomenal!!!!! Recommend to everyone!“

“Visiting from NYC, I basically eat whatever and wherever my family recommends. Every member of my family ordered their own Hibachi platter and there was so much food, which resulted in leaving some for the next day. I had the chicken and steak combo with fried rice and vegetables. It was my first time trying Yum-Yum sauce and it definitely elevates the deliciousness of the food.“

“It's all you can eat sushi. It's good. Usually comes out pretty quickly.

Occasionally hard to put in additional food orders but think that could be bc like many food places staffing is tricky.

Everyone is nice but not too talkative. Great place to have solo lunch and read or do work during lunch times.

Kid-friendliness: They have been very accommodating to kids. However there has been. Some inconsistently on pricing for the under ones.“

“Great sushi! Nice staff! Wait time was short“

“Food was EXCELLENT; entertainment value of its preparation was superb.“

“4⭐️
I have been wanting to try this place for a few months, and we finally did. Very good food! The inside of the restaurant is closed, so they put up this odd window to order through at the front door. They could easily just let people still walk in to order, and just put the chairs away so people don’t sit 🤷🏾‍♀️
But the food was really good. I got a shrimp tempura roll & volcano roll. Both were very good! And my husband got the steak and shrimp hibachi. His food was also very good, and he had leftovers. I just wish sushi places gave 8 pieces in their rolls. When it’s 6 pieces I feel like that’s small. But either way, all of the food was great!“

“Food quality is high. Flavors are clean and true.“

“In these post-covid times of it being virtually impossible to eat out for less than $15 First Wok is an exception to the seemingly new rule. The lunch and dinner combos gotta be one of the best bang-for-your-bucks in the area. You’re telling me I can get a beef and broccoli, pork fried rice, and an egg roll for $10.25 (dinner combo)???? Boneless spare ribs, vegetable fried rice, and wonton soup for $8.25 (lunch combo)??? That’s insane value.

Additionally, who would have thought that a Chinese restaurant would become my go to chicken wing spot? Wings have become exorbitantly expensive everywhere but again, First Wok remains the exception. Their garlic sauce wings are SO GOOD. I spooned the leftover sauce into my gullet like an animal. Don’t get started on the chicken wing combos either… 8 wings + chicken fried rice for $10.55 is a steal.“

“Went to dinner for my nephews birthday last night and it was fantastic. Food was delicious! Our chef, Alex, was hysterical. My daughter said he had two jobs, chef AND comedian. Our server Katrina was always right there when we needed her. KUDOS!!!“
