Japanese Restaurants near Wauwatosa

“Husband and I shared their teriyaki chicken with steamed rice and mixed vegetables. So much food and very good. We said no to the extra ladle full of teriyaki sauce, so not sure if that’s where the grease complaint comes from. If we are craving teriyaki, we will definitely come and get some from here again!“

“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.“

“excellent atmosphere and a great culinary experience...!“

“Fresh, Fast, and Absolutely Delicious

I had an incredible experience at Ginza Japanese Restaurant, and this picture says it all. The sushi was not only beautifully presented but also unbelievably fresh — every bite tasted clean, vibrant, and full of flavor.

The service was impressively fast, yet never felt rushed. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always checking in to make sure everything was perfect without hovering. It’s rare to find a place that balances speed with genuine care, but Ginza nails it.

We also ordered the gyoza, and they were amazing — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious. A must-try appetizer!

The prices are very competitive compared to other sushi spots in the area, especially considering the quality. You’re getting top-tier freshness and amazing presentation without overpaying, which makes this place an easy favorite.

From the delicate mango-topped roll to the crunchy tempura and the spicy rolls packed with flavor, every single piece on the plate was outstanding.

If you’re looking for delicious sushi, fast service, great value, and a place that truly focuses on freshness, Ginza is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Updating my previous review. We gave Kyoto another chance last night and I have to day the upgrades to the dining room were very nice and much needed. Less crowded and more lighting to be able to see your food and company. Service was much better and honestly I think the sushi rolls got larger! We will be back!“

“Took my daughter Yuki to Sushi Yuki for her birthday. Food was excellent, service was great - Yuki had an amazing birthday dinner.“

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

“Delicious food and the girl who took my order was incredibly kind! However, there are only 4 tables to sit at for dine in. It was very busy (with online orders) and understaffed the night I came, which left only two tables to sit at as the others were covered in dirty dishes since there was nobody to clean them up.“

“Great sushi, yellowfin for me is always a good sign of how fresh and skilled the place is. Fantastic yellowtail sushi. Enjoyed the Dynamite Roll as well which was a combo I have not had.

Gyoza and Edamame were great starters, could of handles a little more salt on Edamame but easily fixed and personal preference.

Little details like the way she served the Sapporo, hot towels at the beginning of the meal, and the correct multiple dishes were a real plus and nice touch.

Wonderful, friendly service.“

“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!“

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

“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...“

“You have yet you fail me! The food is absolutely delicious and that keeps me ordering from you! Keep up the great work!“

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

“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🫶🏼🎊“

“🍣 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 😋“

“Japanica is our go to for Hibachi! Always entertaining/excellent service- waitresses are super attentive and the food is so delicious 😋“

“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.
