19 Best Japanese Restaurants near Middleton

“Love the sushi!!! My husband and I do “date nights” here and split a “Volcano Bowl” and have sushi afterwards! Wonderful place❤️“

“The staff was so wonderfully accommodating & the food was divine! Today was my birthday; so my boyfriend & I wanted to do something special, but we live nearly a thousand miles apart. We decided to try a video-chat dinner & the Takara staff was enormously helpful. They gave me a nice quiet corner table, let me set up my ringlight/phone, and everyone was just all-around lovely. It was a great experience!“

“This restaurant's best offerings are their American style maki sushi exploding with all kinds of fillings and toppings. The appetizers and other offerings are pretty basic. The nigiri was disappointing but as expected for this part of the country. The cocktail menu is interesting, but I haven't sampled much from it yet. The new decor is kitschy and over the top, but it imparts a fun, casual vibe if you just kind of relax and enjoy it. Some of the sushi plates had little orchid / flower sprays on them that were quite visually appealing.“

“You can choose the unlimited refill option or order individually. If you choose unlimited refills, you can order sushi, sashimi, rolls, etc. until you are full. The sushi and sashimi aren't very large, but the taste is good. Recommended for anyone who can eat a lot. The service was also friendly.

I ordered hibachi and ramen separately for lunch and it was great value for money. Contrary to my concerns, Hibachi was able to eat a generous amount of fairly tender beef. The ramen was a little different from what I expected, with a spicy Nagasaki Jjamppong-like taste, but I enjoyed it in its own way. Considering the price, I think this is pretty great.“

“The best around for that price!! So, so, good and so very affordable! Just do it! You won’t regret it!“

“If you are looking for good Sushi, I was pleasantly surprised to find this cute little place tucked in on the west side of Madison.

Had the Sashimi Deluxe, The Royal, The Lake City, The Rainbow and I think the Golden Age 😋“

“Dined here for lunch today and loved the vegan options! Menu is clearly marked so we didn’t have to modify anything, which was highly refreshing. Shout out to Living on the Veg sushi set and the crunch salad, both solid choices. Bright and welcoming interior, with equally welcoming staff! We will be back again and again. Take no shiitake🍄“

“We, my husband and I, love this place! It’s honestly hard to find a straight forward and good Chicken Teriyaki in Madison/surrounding areas (We live in Middleton). So this place is perfect for it. The price is more than reasonable for the amount of food you get, it’s hot and delicious, and fresh due to the high volume of orders they are making.The veggies, the chicken, rice and sauce- yum! Plus it makes great leftovers, which I almost always have if I get my own order. A lot of times, my husband and I will split an order if we want to save money. It’s the perfect, not too heavy dinner or lunch.I will say one thing, and that is that you have to like dark meat chicken because I believe they use chicken thighs. Not a problem to me, but I know some people prefer white meat chicken.They also have a punch card system, so after every 6 you get a freebie- we just cashed one in yesterday!The staff is friendly, quick, and I like how you get to watch them make the food.Overall, this place is perfect for a a chicken teriyaki craving… definitely worth a try! There is a location in each of the malls here in Madison, East & West.“

“Always great sushi and service. Buy 1 get 1 deal is a terrific bargain.“

“Man oh man this place is good. I wasn't surprised when I saw the boston fish market truck out front delivering. The math maths as the kids say.

I really enjoyed the king roll and the teriyaki shrimp. 10/10 will definitely be back.“

“Visiting from Colorado with some friends and came across this place. Food was very delicious Highly recommend the Korean BBQ wings and Pork dumplings.“

“I have been a regular patron at Sushi Express for about 4 years now. I describe this place as a place to get “4 star sushi for 1 star prices”. Their menu is extensive, with many creative rolls, and their 2-roll or 3-roll specials are hard to beat price wise. My personal favorite is the Lake City Roll. The wait staff are always friendly, and I can only recall one time where I waited more than 10 minutes for my sushi rolls. I’ve also ordered delivery from here many times. I once waited over an hour for an order, and they gave me a $10 store credit upon realizing my GrubHub order didn’t go through entirely. Like any restaurant, these folks are human and 99% of the time you’re going to get great sushi with great, friendly service at a price that won’t break the bank. More cities need a Sushi Express like this one in Madison, WI. 5/5 stars for their delivery service and 6/5 stars dine in. HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone that wants great sushi but doesn’t want to break the bank.“

“I had the beef and my wife had the chicken. The flavors were good that included the meat, rice, and a lettuce combination. The portions were also very large and neither of use could finish it all.

Overall it was a good and filling lunch.“

“Nice Ramen place! They have a happy hour where some drinks are discounted and Edamame for example are half price! There are seating options either inside or outside on the patio! We did make a reservation for a Friday evening in advance but it wasn’t fully booked so you should be fine without one. Good service :)“

“Let me start by saying their special rolls are amazing! But BF and I went last night for the all you can eat, and was dissapointed at the lack of sushi variety on the conveyor. It was mostly cakes, fruit, cold rangoon or something of a california roll. It was not worth the 70$ for two.
I guess its hit or miss depending on the day. But I dont think we will be coming back for the all you can eat.“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommended.“

“Great food for a great price!“

“Genuinely the best sushi place in town! Consistently good every time I order from here. The staff is very courteous and respectful as long as you’re not being rude to them. The man and woman that work there are always so kind. It boosts my mood every time I pick up my order. Fast delivery from Grubhub when I don’t feel like leaving my house“

“Thank you so much for making our son's graduation dinner so special. We enjoyed the food so much and your staff was wonderful. Loved it!“
