22 Best Japanese Restaurants near Florence

“My boyfriend and I came in tonight closer to closing. He ordered the steak, shrimp, and chicken hibachi with fried dumplings and I had the teriyaki chicken bento box with spicy crab sushi, and crab Rangoon. The food was SO good. But, I think the shining point of dinner was their young daughter coming up to play with us then later asking if we needed anything. You can tell this is a mom and pop type restaurant and I absolutely love it. I hope to come back in soon!“

“For being such a small, likely overlooked little restaurant, my family and I were surprised at the flavor and taste of everything we ordered. Beautifully decorated and the staff were all super nice, seriously, this place is underrated, definitely one of the best dine in experiences I've had in years.“

“One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in the area. Quiet and calming atmosphere. They have a tatami seating area and a nice variety of foods that are difficult to find at other restaurants. I enjoy their onigiri, sushi, yakisoba, and ramen, and I hope to try their sukiyaki someday!“

“La Hiro is a hidden gem in the Cincy area for traditional Japanese cuisine. Our family absolutely loves Kiki for its modern Japanese flavors, but La Hiro is our personal favorite for traditional Japanese. We were shocked to be here between 6:30-7:30 on a Saturday evening and we were the only ones in the restaurant. That is absolutely unacceptable for a restaurant of this quality. Don’t let the fact that it’s next to a liquor store in a small strip center turn you away. The quality and service are top notch…I just wish it was closer to home!“

“Jay Jay, you must work for the competition ! I've been a cook over 35 years. There's nothing unusual about the cleanliness that is a usual kitchen. They are not pretending to cook.. They're really making you something.. that makes a little bit of a mess. And a little wear & tear nothing unusual, jay jay, you lying. Food was good and the service was excellent. And they're especially generous, especially compared to the competition nearby.“

“Our first time, took wife there today, found place clean, friendly, good selection, crab Rangoon good I had pork chop chow mein wife sesame chicken we both enjoyed our meals our server I believe she was the owner very nice we will be returning“

“The room temp water tasted fowl and my Hibachi meal came out drowned it watered down teriyaki sauce. It tasted good but I think they should ask if you want it soupy or dry. Also, no hot mustard sauce for the rice. Most of my experiences at Yamato have always been good and a good value for the money.“

“It's a good place. I do enjoy it and the kids love it. I wish however that they would have all the cooks doing pretty much the same act. It isn't a huge deal but some just cook with minimal entertainment. Still an excellent place though and the food is good.“

“Everything was so delicious and service was great. Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu.“

“delicious pastries! can't wait to go back!“

“What a cool hidden gem, first time visiting and definitely not the last time. Everything we tried was delicious, the ramen felt fresh, the cuts of meats where tender, everything well balanced with a good amount of ingredients. The Takoyaki where amazingly good as well. The place has a cool, clean vibe and the server was very friendly and knowledgeable. With this cold weather a Shoyu Ramen pairs perfectly! If you haven't tried it yet, give it a chance, it's a 100% recommended.“

“Amazing food and service! We drive 45 minutes to eat at Sake Bomb. My wife is gluten free and is able to safely eat off the gf menu with multiple offerings, including gf sushi. The food is soooo good. Fresh, tasty sauces, large portions, and the presentations are beautiful. The owner is wonderful and truly seems to care for his customers as he talks with each table. If we lived closer, we would be here twice as much as we are now.“

“We love this new sushi restaurant! Pedro is a wonderful sushi chef and he treats his customers as family. The fish is fresh and there is a large selection of sake. Strongly recommend!“

“I appreciate the food and the amount of food they give.However, DONT buy a gift card from there. They won't let you use your own money of the gift card if it's below the gift card amount.For example, I got a 10 dollar gift card, i tried getting krab ragoon which is 7.49 total, I couldn't use the gift card because it was below the 10 dollars, makes perfect sense.“

“Me and my kids love Wabi Sabi!!! My son and daughter don’t agree on much, but they both love Wabi Sabi!! It’s a family favorite.“

“The food was outstanding it was my first time there“

“Wonderful food! Very authentic. The owners and staff couldn’t have been nicer! ごちそうさまでした“

I talked to my friends about revisiting today and boy I'm so glad we did! Not only did we have super size portions, The food was fantastic! I recommend anyone taking a trip to the zoo to check out Ninja grill afterwards for lunch!“
