21 Best Japanese Restaurants in Richmond

“I had an excellent solo dining experience at Nami in Richmond. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely comfortable and welcome. The atmosphere is stylish and upscale without feeling stuffy, and the service was attentive and friendly throughout my meal.
I started with the house ginger salad, which was fresh and had a really flavorful ginger dressing. The takoyaki was another highlight—perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and definitely something I would order again. I also had the white tuna, which was incredibly fresh, tender, and absolutely delicious.
What really stood out to me was that even though I was dining alone, I never felt rushed or overlooked. The combination of great service, a relaxing atmosphere, and excellent food made it a genuinely enjoyable experience.
Nami is definitely a place I'd recommend whether you're out with friends, on a date, or just treating yourself to a great meal. I'll absolutely be back!“

“Moni was our server and she is incredible. Knowledgeable about celiacs and never felt rushed. She knew what items had gluten and which ones were safe. The vibe inside were incredible feels like a safe spot for any occasion. Prices were reasonable around 10-15 dollars for a special roll.“

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

“good food and good service“

“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.“

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

“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 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.“

“Good location Great Food“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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! 😋💕“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Visited while traveling for my daughter's birthday and Saku was recommended by AI based on my inputs (family of 5, with smaller children, attentive services with a unique atmosphere, etc.) and was not disappointed. The variety of rolls, apps, and 'kitchen specialties' were enough to meet all our needs, even for my 7 year old who loved the Waterfront roll - which had banana in it - to the veg tempora, and clear soup. Will come back next time we are on the area amd fully recommend should you be in the area also.“

“What a lovely shock! It just looks like a boring strip mall restaurant but the food is so tasty so fresh it feels so healthy versus all this other stuff. We were forced to come here because I was charging or electric vehicle, I had no idea what a lovely surprise this was going to be“
