21 Best Japanese Restaurants in Richmond

“It was really amazing and very cozy as well. I been dying to try it for awhile now. And I had the chance this time. And im glad that I did. I don't normally eat sushi, but they had other options and I had the Kani salad which was amazing! I never had it before and I loved it so much! Would definitely come back for more. Maybe come by next time when work get the best out of me and just come to relax. 1000/1000 its a yes for me!“

“unique, delicious and reasonably priced. once I get a craving I have to go. I love this place.“

“Still our favorite sushi in RVA! Can't beat the value here. Great sushi, great prices and a very unique atmosphere. Feel like I'm in a big city sushi spot. Staff has always been great, and we were pleasantly surprised at some of the portions for take out(which they are cranking out non stop).“

“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 Friendly atmosphere im coming back!!!“

“Contrary to some recent reviews this place delivered exactly what I wanted. $25 after tax for a steak, shrimp, and chicken expressly cooked hibachi. Steak cooked medium for the best flavor, it definitely won out over the chicken. Shrimp was not rubbery in my experience. Large enough portion to have both lunch and dinner. Definitely will be going back.“

“I had seen several posts recommending Level Sushi - finally tried it for the first time today. It was fantastic! IYKYK. If you don’t, I hope you will try it soon. Sorry, no pics. But we tried: * Edamame appetizer * Fried Calamari appetizer * Level Sashimi Roll * Steak Bento Box Lots of leftovers and can’t wait to return.“

“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.“

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

“We tried the teriyaki chicken, beef, and shrimp. The chicken was the most flavorful; however, the other two were still delicious. We watched them cook all our food fresh and service was great. They also give you large portions. If you like teriyaki flavor and rice, you'll love this place. They also have sides and deserts, but unfortunately we didn't try any of those. We'll be back for sure.“

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

“good food and good service“

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

“Kabuto’s is my favorite restaurant! But, my last experience was very disappointing. Part of the experience is to watch the show. But because there was a couple at the other end of the table (not with us), who brought babies with them, they did absolutely nothing. No fire, no volcano, absolutely nothing. Apparently they had asked the waitress if “the cook” could be quiet. I feel in this case, either don’t bring the infants, or sit alone at a table. This was not fair to the other customers. It was our 35th anniversary and I feel like we missed out on our experience.“

“Good location Great Food“

“Aesthetically pleasing, very nice staff, so many delicious food and tasty drinks to choose from! I ordered so much. I will definitely be back to eat more! 😋💕“

“This is my favorite local sushi spot. I won't say its the best sushi you can get, its not. However, it is very good, and from a price to value standpoint its pretty hard to beat.

Everything is made to order so you get it fresh, no sitting out window sushi. Its usually pretty fast, though that depends some on how busy it is.

If you love sushi, and are looking for a good place to stuff yourself that won't break the bank I highly recommend it.“

“I got the salmon & shrimp hibachi and let me tell you…it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥! This is only my 2nd time ordering but my fam has been talking about it since the first time! This will be a once a week thing for us. Soooo good!!“

“I really like this place and think it has so much potential. But I have to say the inconsistency in the food is starting to show, and it really comes down to who’s cooking on any given day. Sometimes the fried rice is perfect, and other times it’s mushy. Sometimes the chicken is perfectly seasoned, other times it’s really bland. When it’s good, it’s truly amazing and it’s one of the best hibachi to-go spots in Richmond. But these last couple of times, it’s been a letdown.

I’m leaving this review because I really want to see the place succeed and step it up a notch with more consistent training for the cooks. It’s got the potential to be a standout spot if the quality becomes more reliable. Right now, if they keep pushing out inconsistent dishes, they risk just blending into the background like any other place. I’m rooting for them to get it right!“
