17 Best Japanese Restaurants near Chelmsford

“We really enjoyed our time at Nobo! We were out shopping up in NH and wanted to stop en route home (Cambridge, MA). I looked online and found Nobo. We sat at the bar and chatted with the owner and asked him to surprise us with some rolls - he did not disappoint! We also met his wife; they are both very kind and run a good establishment. I never thought I’d say “hey honey, let’s drive up to Chelmsford for sushi” but I’m pretty sure I’ll be saying that again soon. We plan to come back and support this nice restaurant with kind owners, good food, good service, lovely atmosphere.“

“Absolutely amazing place!!! Been at least 6 times and it’s ALWAYS consistently amazing! The food is great. The staff is awesome, quick, and kind. Definitely great spot for sushi and a drink! Could not say better about this place! Try it out!!!“

“I was looking a Japanese restaurant, and by that I meant one that doesn't break the bank and does not mix Chinese cuisine in the menu. Basically, a 100% Japanese place. I stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. Suffice to say, I am super happy. Why?
First, Chawan Mushi dish. This is a traditional Japanese dish. It's steamed egg with fillings. None of the other Japanese restaurants which I had been to offer this. This dish is simple, yet, packed with so much flavor. I have missed this since my last Japan visit.
Second, my Unadon came with Japanese cucumber and radish pickles. It is hard to find these being included in your rice order at Japanese places here in US so I am super happy to have these in my Unadon to eat with rice.
Third, the Soft Shell Crab and Nama-yaki (fresh oyster with scallion and ponju sauce) are super good. Fresh, perfect temp, and tasty.
Forth, I am able to enjoy my meal without being interrupted with constant questions from waitresses. I am not into that style of being questioned right when I put food in my mouth... I am the "pls give me the food and leave me alone so i can enjoy it. If I have questions, i'll wave you down" kind.

Overall, I am a happy camper to find my favorite dishes in one place. The hibachi tables are packed and the festivity is super nice. The facility is clean and the staffs are attentive and quick.

I will definitely come back again. Thank you for the food and please keep these original dishes on the menu :)

“We got 2 large platters (one hot and one raw) for 4 adults. WoW. That was a lot of food. The presentation was beautiful, one on a boat and the other on a bridge. The pieces were huge and very fresh. A lot of different combinations to try. The waitstaff was so nice. Highly recommend!“

“Honestly, I would recommend eating here every single time, but oh my goodness the staff running this place were so unhelpful! I mean, the person taking our order was good but the people who were placing the food into our tray were despicable! One of them shoveled our food into the box for us and then shoved it down the counter. To our left, there were three dudes standing around waiting for their order, where the server had put the boxes there, and we asked if they had prepared our food already, and he just yelled at us saying that the food was already there, like how am I supposed to know that if you shoved it all the way down the counter! Still though, the food is 9/10 and you should honestly come here for the food, but just beware that this stuff happens.“

“Wow wow wow!!! The most quintessential Chinese food taste to date. I was so impressed with all the food we got. Pupu platter for 2 was so much food. The rice was amazing and don’t even get me going about the dumplings!!! So fat with stuffing and crispy and gooey covering. So much food it will be good for 2 days worth of eating. So yummy.“

“the food is always amazing they'll cook just about whatever you ask for at Costco but you really get what you pay for here. I've taken a handful of people here who would probably say the same thing! not to mention the staff is super friendly and if they're not too busy they'll hold a conversation with you.“

“I just have to go here every few months for this dinner big bowl of white fish, ? Chinese cabbage sweet potato ? noodle soup! It comes with a side of rice white or a healthier brown.
