11 Best Japanese Restaurants near Oregon

“An unexpected gem!
About 20 minutes south of Madison is HERS. When my daughter suggested we eat there, I was reluctant. However, HERS turned out to be one of the best culinary experiences I ever had in Madison. As a Chicagoan, I expected great sushi; HERS exceeded everything. We had sushi, but also a tuna poke bowl, pork miso ramen and fried tofu - see photos.
My suggestion: take the time and drive to Oregon to eat here!“

“We visited Hachi Hachi in Brooklyn today for lunch and had a very pleasant experience! The food was delicious and the service excellent. Lunch specials were a great price for lunch portions, and the sushi was very fresh and flavorful and they had a good selection of items outside of sushi as well as a kids menu for your littles (or those in your group not into sushi). We didn’t realize the boba tea and poke bowl spot was around the corner, but we know now! If you are thinking about trying, don’t hesitate, definitely a pleasantly surprising find in a small town. We will definitely be back again - and recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food , good service!!!“

“Beautiful interior and pleasant lighting, music and overall ambiance. Very different from all other places to dine in Madison.

However, all rolls for two people were delicious and fresh. The Maki Combo is best value for your money. Miso soup is tasty. Shrimp dumplings are wonderful as well.

An update from visit on 05/27/23. By looking at all negative review fee have substance. Most people who leave those never had or will ha be their own business. So easily to spit on someone else work and livelihood. If restaurant is empty I’d be delighted. No long wait times or loudness. The food was served fresh and incredibly tasty. The interior is absolutely beautiful in comparison to most other sushi places in Madison. Highly recommend. These people work hard to service us delicious food they specialize on.

An update from all you can eat experience:
Despite many negative reviews we greatly enjoy all you can eat. Be aware that $34.95 will include service charge of $6.50. We were told that is a tip so you’ll pay upwards $43. All items were fresh, the rolls were diverse and constantly coming. Despite this being after 7pm on Saturday. Well worth as you can pay more like $60-70 at a different sushi place if ordered off menu. The rolls were from vegetarian to fresh salmon and tuna with plenty of fish in the rolls. Not rolls were basic. Highly recommend. We were pleasantly surprised.

All you can eat - Friday through Sunday 4pm-8pm.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
