20 Best Japanese Restaurants near Middleton

“Unbelievably delicious, I travel a lot for work and was craving sushi. This place did not disappoint. I haven’t had Sushi and Chicken Katsu this good since I lived in Seattle. I will be back.“

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

“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.“

“I order from Jacknife regularly and it is quick well priced and very tasty sushi, the staff there is always pleasant smiling and accommodating and that’s part of why I keep coming back. Glad they are so close and convenient to me!“

“We ordered the all-you-can-eat sushi dinner for $30, and the quality and abundance of food eaten made it worth the cost. A wide selection of sushimi and sushi, as well as appetizers, and an assortment of entrees too. There are many items to choose from on the menu so even if you're not a sushi eater there's likely something for you. Good service but there can be a wait between courses if it's busy.“

“Service was wonderful and food came out super fast! Plenty of options and food was very good!“

“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 am a sushi lover, and this place serves really good food with fairly price. I ordered some sashimi with sushi rice. The quality of salmon is excellent. We went to a sushi restaurant in downtown last week. They serve kind of the same food as Fin sushi, but they passed off white rice as sushi rice for the sushi roll. I believe a reliable sushi place should use sushi rice to make sushi. And I prefer the real sushi rice because it tastes better than white rice. Actually the customers are able to identify the difference. Thanks for the good food and I will come back to try some other sushi:)“

“Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and very nice staff.“

“Great food—we got the seaweed salad, pork buns, minced pork rice bowl, and lychee cocktail. Good service. We plan to come again :)“

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

“Great food , good service!!!“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommended.“

“The sushi rolls are very good. The fish is very good quality and their special rolls are unique and well executed.

I have never had conveyer sushi, however my experience there with the concept was very fun. I was able to hunt down what I wanted and waited to pounce on it when it came by. If someone took it, it was disappointing, but now it makes you long for the roll to come by again.

Come for their menu meal, or try their all you can eat option. I have tried both and have thoroughly enjoyed both“

“A completely unexpected Gem.
We were provided service, an unheard of thing these days where your name is yelled across a room and you retrieve your meal.walking in I really did not expect my food to come to my table, better yet someone checked on my satisfaction levels and everything. Then to my surprise the plate vanished. They don't take themselves too seriously, but it's nice that type of place either. While the appearance may look like some of the food barkers, the overall experience is just better. .

I had the spicy teriyaki it was good, it had heat, I regret nothing, except may a bit of salt lacking. Will return.“

“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!“

“Great food for a great price!“

“Akari Sushi became one of my favorite restaurants shortly before I moved out of state. The pickled mustard and beef fresh noodles were especially great (particularly when I increased the spiciness), along with the poke bowls and many other things on the menu.“
