35 Best Japanese Restaurants near Benicia

“Fantastic! Can’t wait to go back!“

“This is one of the places that I've been supporting through COVID. The quality of food is always great, despite the supply chain issues. The bento box is the best deal, but I find the nuances, are more important - like the toasted rice in the green tea or the ogo seaweed.I recommend the spicy cucumbers, the tsukemono and the tataki nigiri.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp as opposed to stairs.“

“Benicia has so many restaurant choices. This one is a must try! A small family owned Japanese restaurant for dine in and take out. You can sit at the small Sushi counter or at a table in the small dining room. The people are nice and friendly and they have a good selection of Sushi Rolls and other dishes. We made a reservation just in case. Free parking is on the street. Casual dining for family, business and date nights.

Vegetarian options: vegetarian dishes are available.

Kid-friendliness: They have kid friendly meals

Wheelchair accessibility: no stairs“

“Tatsu Sushi is hands down my favorite sushi spot in the Bay Area. My brother and I have been coming here for a while now, and it never disappoints. The quality is always top-notch—fresh fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and well-balanced flavors in every bite. It’s the kind of place where you can taste the care that goes into each roll.

On top of that, the prices are more than fair, especially considering the quality. But what really makes Tatsu stand out are the little extras. The free gyoza and miso soup? That’s just an unbeatable touch. It’s rare to find a place that goes the extra mile like that, and it’s one of the many reasons we keep coming back.

The only downside? Word is getting out. It used to feel like our little secret sushi spot, but now more people are catching on. While I’m happy to see them getting the recognition they deserve, it does mean we might have to wait a little longer for a table. Even so, it’s always worth it. My brother and I will keep coming back for as long as they’re around.“

“I lost count of how many times I’ve come here - they never miss. The menu is familiar but enough unique items to stand out amongst all of the other AYCE sushi OR hotpot restaurants around.. oh and did I mention they offer both.. get this - for the same price ? come visit, you won’t regret it!“

“Hands down the best restaurant in Martinez. I travel from Vallejo to enjoy the Salmon and steak hibachi. The staff are so kind and friendly. The dining area is always spotless. I highly recommend you come here if you’re looking for a good quality meal!!!!“

“The freshest sushi I’ve ever had in this area. Hands down. Will definitely be back!“

“I had Salmon over rice Togo. When I pick up my food, I opened it but I didn’t see any vegetables in that. I asked him and he said that I should order the meal if I would like to get small salad too. (I ordered wrong tho) but he so nice:) he gave me the vegetable salad for free of charge. I will definitely come back. I like to support local and good people, plus their food is so yummy and fresh too.“

“Customer friendly & quick service. Food is great.😋“

“Excellent sushi again and again. Highly recommend this restaurant. Great service and fresh fish every time.“

“Look, if you live in Concord, you're going to balk at the thought of eating sushi on Monument...don't...this is easily the best sushi joint in town. From unique rolls to gorgeous sashimi that lets the quality of the fish shine, this place has something for even the most discerning sushi fan. The only down side is the very moderately priced and rediculously good food draws a massive crowd, so be prepared to wait for a table.“

“The food is great!!! Crew is awesome!!! Dine by the sea!!! Highly recommended!!!“

“At 1st I wasn't feeling it, then my Son said to me, mom what's the worst that could happen? I don't like it, I send it back and you my son don't have to pay for it. HA!!!HA!!!!!“

“Ordered sushi and a variety of other side dishes, was greeted by a woman when I arrived and their customer service was great from beginning to the end, food was okay, tasted fresh

Parking: There's always parking here since it's in a plaza

Kid-friendliness: They love kids, had my 3 month old with me and they loved her“

“Love the buffet around the sushi bar! Best place to sit!“

“best sushi and cheap!!! will come again!!!“

“My daughter and I love Yo Sushi 🍣“

“We love this place! The best of Thai and the best of Japanese! I have the salmon skin ham roll today and a Poké bowl. Both yummy. Services is friendly. Food is great.“

“We came here a week ago and now we are coming a lot to here.
We ordered 4 different kind of rolls and let me tell you, it’s really good!
The place is big, nice, and clean but the customer service is a little off. Workers barely understand English and took a lot of time to make the sushi.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re craving sushi.“

“There was an important item left out of my order last night. But when I went back today, the Asst Manager Brandon went over the top. He really hooked me up. Their food is good, but their service and attitude is the best!“

“This is my boyfriend and my go to place for sushi in the area !!! When ever he's leaving it up to me on where to go to eat he already knows we are going to be headed here!! It's very cozy and the staff are super nice and personable! It's got amazing prices for quite a lot of food I tend to always have a few pieces of my rolls to go!! It's very fresh and very very tasty!!!“

“Anytime we are in Pleasanthill area we try to eat at Jo’s Honda Sushi. We used to live in Pleasanthill and we would go there at least once a week. We love Honda and all his family ❤️“

“it's always pretty good here. The prices are fair and I'm always up for a repeat“

“Just moved into a new area and craving sushi so I found Hanabi Sushi on DoorDash. They had good ratings on DoorDash and Google Maps and most all, it was only a 10 min drive from me. Saw that they had 2 sushi rolls for about $20 which is good deal to begin with. And I also found the sashimi special had most of the fish that I like and the price was reasonable. I wasn’t sure if it came with just 1 pc of each that they listed (salmon, yellowtail, tuna, albacore and red snapper) or 2. That’s common for small portions for $30. To my surprise, they gave me 4 big pieces of each. I didn’t even eat the salad or soup because I was so full from eating the sashimi and sushi rolls. I ordered the food to go but right when I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by the sushi chefs and they thanked me for my order on my way out. Very friendly staff. Food was very good. I think I found my new sushi spot to go to.

Parking: I got there before they were closing so there was a lot of parking

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s in a shopping center so there’s plenty of parking in front and a handicap parking space in front of the restaurant also.“

“We love this place! The best of Thai and the best of Japanese! I have the salmon skin ham roll today and a Poké bowl. Both yummy. Services is friendly. Food is great.“

“The service was quick&staff were attentive, and friendly. The food was good. My usual(cherry blossom) was well put together. Because I seen a recommendation in the reviews for the Godzilla roll(deep fried yellowtail roll with a little spice to it)&the salmon belly, I tried them both and they delivered. The prices are decent.
Altogether a great first time experience.
I would return, and I would recommend.
Give House of Sake a try.“

“The sushi was really good“

“Sushi was absolutely delicious and chunky!! Just how I like it! No skimping on the portion sizes! The atmosphere is ok - small restaurant with tables just to sit and eat, nothing more, nothing less. If you just want good sushi, this is the place to go. You don’t go here for a vibe or to hang out and relax. Staff were very pleasant.“

“Ate here weekday lunch. Bento box and sushi combo between the two of us. Miso soup was the best I’ve had in recent memory. Bento had a ton of choices and was too much food! Everything was delicious and fairly priced. Will definitely be back.“

“Keep in mind a lot of the reviews here are for the OLD chinese restaurant that was here. There's been 3 at this spot since ive been a local here. Originally the first restaurant was ran by a nice old lady and the food was quite good.

I did not care for the 2nd group that came in to this spot, they were just not good.

I can safely say though that this new rebranded spot New peking is really quite good, they remodeled and cleaned everything and the food is served in good portions and is really solid. They may have a few kinks to work out, but the few times I've gone they've gotten better each time.

The hunan chicken lunch special got me to review, really happy to have a good chinese spot in the near area. They deserve your business“

“This is such an awesome little gem of a sushi restaurant. They have an amazing 10-piece sashimi deal for $19 And their ginger is quite possibly the best I've ever had. Next on my list to try at their restaurant is their salmon kama and hamachi kama.“

“Your friendly neighborhood sushi place. Japanese food with a solid American appeal.
I’m a frequent customer, maybe too frequent sometimes; as I’ve established myself as a loyal customer of Ina and her mom there. Just very cool people who provide great service and a positive vibe every time.

I always go for the “half and half plate”, ordering both sesame chicken (panko breaded with teriyaki sauce glaze) and the spicy chicken (breaded with spicy flakes). ITS SOOOOOOO DELICIOUS.

Matter of fact, I’m going back in Wednesday when they open again (closed on Tuesdays).

Parking: Sometimes limited parking can be challenging to find. However, there is a public lot down the block and across the street.“

“We are avid sushi eaters an we like to pick a new place everytime.

Staff were splendid and kind.

The food was delicious and price wise we actually got more then the last place we ate that was more expensive an less food.

We know sushi doesn’t always feel you up so we ordered a few things an shared with everyone at the the table. The spicy tuna was actually spicy. Whoot!

No kids menu- no problem- ? chicken teriyaki, rice, udon, tempera, seaweed salad!

The one Star removed is for the temperature an bathrooms. It was rather warm inside an the bathroom area smells which in an warmer environment penetrates the air. The roof is massively high. They need to spend some money an put in a fake ceiling an better air.

Overall good place. Will be back if on this side of town. We are everything!“

“Food is amazing! Fresh Sushi! Creative Menu. I will be back.“
