10 Best Japanese Restaurants in Charlottesville

“Once I discovered this place I immediately became a regular. The employees are the sweetest souls on the planet. The pho is my go-to, it just warms you right up and ugh food doesn’t make me too happy too often but that pho just fills you with joy it’s so delicious. There are so so so many boba tea options and I love to try a new one each time. It’s so affordable for such amazing food and it’s great to support a hard working family! I would recommend stopping by on a cold and rainy day because it’s PERFECT for that.“

“Absolutely amazing food and service! So filling and delicious! The staff are so wonderful. Cannot recommend enough!“

“This place has amazing service and amazingly authentic food. The only reason I had to take a star off was because this food will definitely leave you running for the restroom. My boyfriend and I visited here for a quiet dinner and we loved it but for hours afterwards we kept having to revisit the bathroom. You should try the food at least once, but just be careful! The pork dumplings are a must for sure though!“

“Best ramen in Charlottesville! Absolutely divine. Fresh, friendly, and fast. So delicious. Get in here now and support our local small businesses!“

“We arrived and were seated immediately. Our waiter was prompt and i explained that this was our 26 Wedding Anniversary. He offered a cocktail on the house for the celebration! I had requested my wife's favorite sashimi ( UNI). The waiter made sure that there was some remaining for her desert! It was delicious The food was very good except that the Lobster tempura was very overcooked. We enjoyed our celebration. Thank You 10!!!“

“Went here for lunch and was craving some sushi and they definitely did not disappoint! Super nice atmosphere and staff. Everything was delicious and fairly priced, definitely going back soon!“

“The food is good for Chinese American classic take out. Reliable, good portions. They are good at honoring requests for removing things where possible (like no veggies in fried rice). And if your app of choice offers adding extra sauces and such for a small charge, they do pretty good at putting it in the bag. (Aside - I really appreciate when that's an option on an online ordering app menu. I'll pay for extra dumpling sauce or whatever, just give me the option to add it to my order. Which this restaurant does on the app I used and I got plenty of extra sauce. ) Important to note though - if you want something subbed (white meat instead of dark, etc.) you should call your order in.Parking: Parking is limited but cars aren't there for long. Just get it delivered.Kid-friendliness: It's very much a take out only place. You won't be staying there to eat so it's not really an issue.“

“Lovely little restaurant tucked away under the garage; perfectly prim and calm atmosphere inviting you to enjoy a number of wonderful dishes. Staff are welcoming and friends, and best of all expedient, and the food arrives fresh and hot, delicious in spice and flavor. Highly recommend.“
