Japanese Restaurants near Wauwatosa

“I go for the teriyaki chicken. I'm not sure why anyone would eat anything else there. The longest running restaurant at the mall for a reason. I get a food coma after eating the teriyaki chicken with double meet. My wife hates me every time I go there :)“

“I loved the Hottie Hottie. I also had the Spicy Miso Ramen which was excellent. The broth was the perfect balance of smoky/creamy/spicy. Thai Iced Tea was fantastic too.“

“Was my first time here and I will definitely be back! My friend and I only stopped in for appetizers and some sake but the service, atmosphere, and food was absolutely amazing. Looking forward to coming back for a more intimate occasion.“

“love it。 the food is great . Love the sushi and sashimi“

“Just overall a beautiful place love comics here with my husband“

“Now - I passed this place every time I got my eyebrows done at Exquisite Threading. I heard this place was good and decided to go for my birthday. Seriously, I’m sooo glad I did. This food here is spectacular. We had the rock shrimp, crab cake, California roll, shumai shrimp dumplings, Wauwatosa roll and Jason roll. Everything was DELICIOUS! We went early on a Friday evening which was perfect. Around 6:30pm or so, this place gets super busy. I do understand why!!!! This place is incredible.“

“Kyoto's food is always consistent, tastes fresh, and priced well. The staff is always so nice and very knowledgeable about celiac. I took my son (14), and he ordered a specific roll. The waitress said that they switched to a different brand of seafood in that particular food option and wasn't positive it may still be gluten-free. 5 stars every time.“

“The service the food and the atmosphere is all you could ever ask of a restaurant“

“Our waitress was very helpful with suggestions for 1st timers. Food was delicious. Food presentation was amazing.“

“The best Takoyaki we've had since we had it in Osaka. Really delicious food!“

“Fujiyama is my absolute favorite Japanese restaurant! They have, in my opinion, the best sushi rolls and salmon sashimi, along with attentive service and delicious cocktails.

My favorite sushi roll is the Angry Dragon, which perfectly combines the sweetness of fruit with the crispiness of tempura shrimp, topped with a tasty mango sauce. For appetizers, the Crab Rangoon and Gyoza are my go-tos. The Crab Rangoon has a rich, authentic cream cheese flavor, unlike the artificial taste I’ve experienced at some other places. The sauce served with the gyoza is a hit with both my husband and me; we even use it with our sushi!

I’ve visited several times, and the cocktails recommended by the servers have always been great. My favorite is the Lychee Martini. It features lychee, a popular fruit in China that’s juicy and bouncy, and the drink has a unique tropical fruit flavor.

I haven’t tried much of the hibachi menu, but I did enjoy the Hibachi Chicken during their Monday and Tuesday specials. I love how they season their sauces.

The service here is very thoughtful. They provide warm towels for you to clean your hands, and there’s a surprise song and dessert for birthdays (although I haven’t celebrated mine here yet, the dessert looks amazing!). On my last visit, I accidentally left my phone behind, and a server even ran out into the rain to return it to me, which is why I’m able to write this review from my phone.

Fujiyama is a restaurant with a long history, and they continue to excel in everything they do.“

“Best sushi restaurant in the Bay View area. The most friendly service, employees can actually have a conversation. Great food and always consistent. Very clean and great atmosphere. This place is a gem that is being overlooked, give them a chance and you won’t regret it. Great food, great price, and great service is always hard to find.“

“Great food, nice atmosphere and good service! Thanks!“

“Our habachi cook was so amazing and was so fun! The prices are pretty reasonable for the amount of food you get. A kids meal is $17 for chicken or $19 for steak and you get a giant mound of food for the price. The service here is amazing and the food is too!“

“They have the best ramen that I have ever had. I don't eat pork, so it can be hard to find pork-free ramen that's flavorful. This bowl is so tasty on its own that you do not need to add any meat (or tofu) to it. I've ordered other things, but usually wish I had just stuck with the ramen cuz it's that good. Unless you can stand a lot of heat, go with the mild which is still pretty spicy. And I grew up eating Indian food, so heat is something I'm used to. And: Help support small businesses like Maki Yaki during this difficult time! You can get the ramen as take out...“

“Never disappoints, been going to this place for years everything is amazing from the food to the staff“

“🍣 My daughter was craving some Asian food and found this place…. Absolutely amazing! 🍱 From the service to the taste of the food….. everything was delicious. 🍲 We will definitely be coming back 😋“

“I said I’d never eat sushi until I tried it for the first time at Katsuya in Studio City. I fell in love with the crispy rice tuna tartare 😋🍱 Until I had it at Wasabi!!! Things will never be the same. No restaurant can make it better!!! The Cali Crunch roll is a close second. This is hands down THE ONLY place I will eat sushi. The staff is amazing and we love to celebrate special occasions here🫶🏼🎊“

“The best sushi in MKE! Service, atmosphere, quality, and location 💯🔥👍🏼“

“Always enjoy this place. On my last visit, I wanted to try something different, so along with some sushi and hibachi, I tried the tonkotsu ramen. I have to unfortunately say it was some of the most bland ramen I have ever had. The other issue was the noodles. They were like chewing glue. On the plus side, everything else was as good as it always is.“

“absolutely the best sushi sashimi in the city, at a reasonable price. Change my mind!“

“RuYi never disappoints. The quality of the food is always excellent. Portion sizes will please everyone. They have expanded RuYi's into two locations within the casino. The old Buffet area has been converted to a RuYi and Fire Pit combo to-go service or pick-up and dine-in this large area. While the long lines were worth the wait, you no longer have to stand around in the lobby. Simply order At the front register and then go in and grab a seat, and get a free soda, visit with your friends or family, and it will bring it to your table. Check out these photos.
