6 Best Japanese Restaurants near Dublin

“love it here! good food. staff is nice“

“Torarenbou Sushi Bistro is in the Valley Center Shopping Center. I had been in this plaza several times, but I had never noticed this sushi spot. Small spot in a small plaza with a shared parking lot, but there was plenty of parking here. Not much service - I ordered ahead on the phone for a to go order, so my food was ready to go when I arrived within 15 minutes. A bit inconvenient because I did not know that they do not take Apple Pay, so thankfully I had my actual card on me. I ordered a sake maki, sake nigiri, and salmon handroll. The portions for the sake maki and sake nigiri were generous, while the salmon handroll was average sizing and I only paid about $20 for all 3. Salmon tasted pretty fresh, but the nigiri had a fatty salmon taste to it and the handroll also had a slight aftertaste to it.“

“Best sushi I’ve had in the east bay!!! The fish is extremely fresh & sashimi pieces are generous. Happy hour prices can’t be beat! My favorite sushi restaurant by far!“

“I’ve been to many Sushi restaurants in Dublin, so far Nara Sushi is the best overall from the food quality, portions, pricing, authenticity and atmosphere.The service was excellent. I ordered Nara roll, Tiger roll and Regular 9pc Nigiri. All food was excellent and fresh!Also we got to try Ebi Tempura, Fried Oyster and Takoyaki as appetizers, no complaint all good. Right now they have special Spicy Tuna toro Gunkan (tuna belly fatty) that was full of flavor!One more thing, they have very good Unagi Bowl and Whe du Bap. Try them all you won’t regret :)“

“The food is not bad, especially the yakitori. They have a couple vegetarian options, however, the skewers come with the meat and not in a separate plate. We have to order again to make sure it’s not touching meat. They also have vegan roll. The meat ones are on the expansive side but taste may not meet the expectation.“

“Amazingly delicious!! I finished my whole meal and want to plan another time to visit again. A few seats inside as well as out. They are located in a busy area but do have tons of parking close to other common places. Not hard to find. We came in to order and it seems like they just take mobile orders since we ordered over a screen. A lot of pick up came so pretty popular which I understand because the food was so good. It's really nice that they have the restaurant beautifully decorated, I personally think that drives in customers to check the place out. But I definitely say the food will bring people back.“
