10 Best Japanese Restaurants near Castroville

“Quiet, little, hole in the wall place in a strip mall. We tried it because our regular place was closed. Service was friendly and attentive and the food was hands down the best and freshest sushi I’ve had. The “OMG Roll” earned its name (amazing!) and my dining companions raved about their meals (sashimi, tempura, sushi, and salmon teriyaki- wish I’d taken pics). Good portions, very fresh, and big selection/menu. This will definitely be our new go to place!“

“Most cheerful counter person ever, probably the owner!“

“Excellent food!!! It beats what we had in Maui recently.“

“Hidden little jem! Come here a lot and always make sure to get the Spicy Chirashi, the appetizer Mussels. Only place you'll find this delicious spicy chirashi and I've eaten all across this peninsula. They have so many rolls, you'll definitely find something delicious here.“

“It's our first time and we wanted to try this coz we keep on going to other Japanese restaurants. The place is clean and quiet (which I like, don't like too much noise when I'm dining), Stephanie our server (I don't know if I spelled her name right) was awesome! She's very sweet and attentive, keep checking if we need anything else or if everything is okay. The foods were good! all in all, a pleasurable experience for a first time. We will come back again for sure. Thanks Stephanie for such a wonderful service! You're awesome!“

“It was ?! We went on the Thursday before ? Weekend...it was lunch time, so it was packed. Spring ? break. My order was mediocre. I ordered the Teriyaki beef ?...the beef was ? cut for bite size eating? It looked like a flank ? almost whole? Jesting. No really, the pieces were not bite size! Everything else was nominal. Service has changed since the Pandemic! ?✌?“

“The takeout sushi I just got was excellent. I just came back from Japan where I learned Japanese food is all about attention to detail even if the dishes seem simple and this sushi was better than a lot of sushi I had in japan. The fish, ginger, and other ingredients were so fresh and well prepared. Definitely worth the 21 dollars for 8 rolls of generous size. My only complaint is the can of coke was 2.50 which seems steep. But this is a high quality place overall. Ate my sushi in the nearby park and had a good time.“

“I hadn't eaten here for a long time and I'm not sure why. I recently downloaded their mobile app, and have found that it's super handy! There's no wait. I just walk up to the counter, am quickly greeted and handed my food. It's always piping hot! I try not to eat fast food. Chipotle, and now this place, are my go to places for a quick meal. I like the chicken teriyaki, the sauce is really good. The sticky brown rice and veggies are delicious. The veggies aren't soggy, and usually more al dente. I feel less guilty about calories when I order from here. I'm glad I returned to this place, as it seems to have improved a lot from my first experience.“

“service was good, sushi has good flavor but is 1/3 what you get at other places. maybe 1/8th of a roll from Arigoto. For the same price. Up side is great service and never busy when I have been there. very good for last minute large groups.“
