50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Quincy

“the accommodated us some good“

“Chicken katsu and takoyaki were great. If you get the lunch special, the prices were good for the portions.
The sushi was okay.
I don't recommend the una don (eel bowl) at all, worst ive had. The salmon roe on the Salmon Oyako Don tasted bad, the marinade was off.“

“Fabulous as always!“

“The food at Fuji is outstanding. Far and away the best fusion Japanese food in Newton and around.“

“Best sushi in town. We’ve been coming here, and it’s one of our favorite sushi spots. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of their ingredients. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“Always great experience. GM always on the floor helping out the staff. Staff is always nice and on point. Look at the food and it speaks for itself!!!“

“This has been my favorite spot recently (past 6 months!) Whether it’s take out or dining in with my partner, everything is always SO delicious! The staff is also very kind and service is fast. For the price, this is the best sushi in the area. Rolls are fresh and they don’t skimp on the filling!! We tell everyone to try this place because it’s that good.“

“Cozy spot and can have a long wait time, but it’s well worth it. Miso butter cod was one of the best things I’ve had in the city. Service was good, waiter explained everything and answered any questions we had. Definitely a spot I would return to Boston for.“

“The additional noodle option was very worth it (nearly doubles the amount) and the soup base for the Umami Ramen is delicately seasoned and has a rich taste. Crew was also extremely friendly and helpful, a flawless experience for the price point.“

“This was our second time dining at Ebi Sushi, and just like our first visit, everything was fantastic. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared every time. Our server, Amanda, was wonderful friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. It’s service like hers that really adds to the experience. Jose, the owner, has truly outdone himself with this place. You can tell he takes great pride in what he’s built from the quality of the dishes to the amazing team that brings it all together. We’ll definitely be back again before the new location opens, and we’re looking forward to visiting that one as well. Ebi Sushi has become one of our favorite date night spots consistently great food, great people, and a great vibe. 🍣❤️“

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!“

“Great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Everything was fresh and delicious. A special shoutout to the manager, John, for making sure everything was perfect and for providing outstanding customer service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Decided to go out for dinner with a few friends and it was delicious. I liked the citrus dressing on the avocado salad. The filet mignon was tender and flavorful. For dessert, green tea ice cream is a must!“

“What an amazing place! The portions here are soooo big I loved every bite. The cheesy ramen is delicious and the yuzu one is super refreshing also delicious. The roll was incredible and very fresh salmon bowl also looked incredible, they serve it with miso. Prices are also super reasonable for the quality.“

“This was one of the BEST omakase experiences I have ever had. The attention to detail was extraordinary. I ate at several two and three star Michelin restaurants last summer in France and I was happier with my dining experience at Umami. The quality of ingredients is absolutely stellar and it is truly a treat for all the senses. Go!!“

“Britani is amazing server ! Super fun and outgoing, very fast service , id love to have her as my next server if we come back! Today is my last day in boston before I go back to Texas. So it was nice to experience great service !
Food came in fast and all was good“

“My first time at Akame Omakase was absolutely exceptional. Every course was carefully explained, the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the entire experience felt thoughtful from start to finish.

Some of my favorite dishes were the Aki Dashi Tofu, with an incredibly rich and comforting umami broth, the Tom Kha Gai, the sweet Ebi shrimp that was simply delicious, and especially the Otoro with Uni, which completely melted in my mouth.

For $99, this omakase was an amazing experience and easily exceeded my expectations for a first omakase dinner. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“レベル高いうまさです“

“The presentation was impressive; each course arrived like a small work of art, and the kitchen clearly takes pride in the visual experience.

Where it falls short is value. Honestly, it just wasn’t worth the price.

Worth noting: I experienced some stomach discomfort during the meal, which I’ll attribute to possible sensitivity to raw fish rather than anything on the restaurant’s end.

Beautiful to look at, but there are likely better options at a friendlier price.“

“It was a cozy place. Interior brought me back to Japan.

My only complaint is the amount of meat. Very little meat in my hot spicy beef udon.

Flavors were nice though. Broth was light and enjoyable.

Service is quick.“

“Overall ingredients + service + ambiance, I give it 3 stars 🌟🌟🌟 (Hawaii's is a bit better 😆🌺)“

“Absolutely amazing!! I can’t wait to go back.“

“We enjoyed our meal at Judy’s Bay. We got the scallop crudo, the gochujang mussels (great flavors), the lobster roe pasta (good), the oyster mushrooms (relatively plain), and the stuffed hake (very good). For the price, I would have expected the dishes to be a little more complex. We were a group of three and it was a full but light meal, and we paid about $55 per person including tip. The servers were very good - they gave unhurried advice on the menu, they were unobtrusive when refilling our water glasses, and they always preemptively brought clean dishes when we needed them.“

“Great food and great service“

“Great small plates, gyoza, soft shell crab, maki is excellent Mt Fuji a favorite. Delicious drinks, fried green tea ice cream hard to find in New England!“

“Definitely some of the freshest and tastiest seafood and innovative sushi and asian food I've had in a while, very fresh and tasty!“

“Chiharu House Roll! Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.“

“Great food as always, and the staff are really nice once you walk into the restaurant they always say hi to you“

“Outstanding and delicious!!!!“

“Yum!! The sushi closest to the camera was the Southie , the back one is the coco salmon. Both delish but I think the Southie was the winner for me-

We also got the bim bam bop. It was so good I forgot to take a photo!

“Cafe Mami is a Japanese comfort food spot that focuses on simple, hearty dishes like curry rice, katsu, hamburg steak, and donburi-style meals. The space is fairly small and tucked away, with more of a functional, casual feel rather than a polished dining room. It’s the kind of place people go for a quick, filling meal rather than a long sit-down experience.

The standout here is definitely the Japanese curry and katsu combinations. The pork tonkatsu curry in particular is a go-to, with a thick, crispy cutlet served over rich curry sauce and rice. The portions are generous for the price, and the curry itself leans comforting and slightly sweet-savory in a way that feels very classic and approachable. The hamburg steak and oyakodon are also solid options if you want something different from fried cutlet dishes.

Service is fast and handled by a very small staff, so things move quickly once you order. Because of how busy it can get during peak hours and how limited the seating is, there’s often a bit of a rush feel to the experience. It works well as a quick lunch or casual dinner, but it’s not really a place you linger for long.

The seating situation is probably the biggest drawback. It fills up quickly, and the space feels tight, especially when there’s a line forming. That said, the turnover is fast enough that you usually don’t have to wait too long, even when it looks crowded from outside.

Overall, Cafe Mami is a reliable spot for Japanese comfort food in the Porter Square area. The value is strong, the portions are generous, and the curry dishes are consistently satisfying. It’s not fancy, but it does exactly what it’s meant to do well, which is serve quick, filling, and comforting Japanese meals.“

“M&J Teriyaki is a cute restaurant which I highly recommend if you’re in the area! They offer both dine-in and takeout and have, frankly a very nice atmosphere. The food too was really amazing (I recommend the chicken in particular) and the drinks are also very nice. I enjoyed the flavor of the strawberry smoothie.

I personally went right after having visited the MFA and so, if you’re on the lookout for a bit to eat after a museum visit then please consider it!“

“Ordered teriyaki chicken, rice, edamame and spring rolls. Everything was delicious! The spring rolls were extra yummy. 😋“

“Tres velar experience!! Top chef!“

“Everything we had was tasty, and the prices weren't too crazy. The sashimi was great, edamame was tasty, and I liked the specialty roll we got, the Hawaii roll. The only caveat is the chicken teriyaki was a bit overcooked, but it was a good portion.“

“I would've added photos but everything was delicious. 10/10 will always recommend and this is now my go to in Brookline for lovely sushi with a quaint atmosphere. Plenty on the menu to try!

Update 4/11: After trying all of the House Rolls my review is still the same, there's an attention to detail and commitment to quality meals that you can only get from Kamiza. 10/ 10 will be back“

“Yume Ga Arukara is a Japanese udon shop located in the heart of Boston's Seaport District, expanding from its other location in the Cambridge area.

The staff are friendly and welcoming, there is typically a longer line at this location so they take your order ahead of time and when you're seated, it comes out quite quickly.

The udon is quite good as well. The broth is flavorful, and the noodles are quite tasty and chewy as well. The extra ingredients go well with the noodles and broth, and the portions are good for the price.“

“Excellent salmon bento box!“

“Tried it for the first time at the farmers market, it was super delicious. I will absolutely be buying it again.“

“Great sushi and cocktails. We ate at the bar. And the bartender was excellent!“

“Wife and I stopped in on a whim for a quick bite for lunch.

Wife had a bowl of miso soup, we got a spicy tuna roll, vegetable tempura, and pork belly fried rice.

We agreed that it is our favorite fried rice in Boston.

Great food, great service, awesome atmosphere. Will be back!“

“The food is fabulosooooo .“

“Unique, delicious pastry. Best croissants and sourdough bread. Nice people. Can sit inside or outside.“

“Best authentic Sushi I had in the US! They brought Sushi chefs from Japan! 🇯🇵“

“Very good ramen bowls and great service“

“Deluxe Sashimi Platter ⭐️ It was great! It's really fresh and there are a lot of varieties, except for the sea urchin, which is a bit fishy Octopus Carpaccio ⭐️ The seasoning is very refreshing and the octopus is very chewy, I love it Torched Japanese Scallop ⭐️ It was very light, I couldn't really taste the seasoning, but it was very tender Unagi Don ⭐️ A friend ordered this. Gyu Don + Onsen Egg ⭐️ The beef is very juicy and the onsen egg is very flavorful“

“High quality fresh sushi. Friendly staff and great customer service.“

“I was in the area to do an errand and needed to get some quick takeout.

This was some of the best sushi I have had in years. Nicely seasoned rice, perfect avocado, just all-in-all stellar quality.

I ordered all more plain items (salmon/avo, spicy tuna, hamachi sashimi, etc) but look forward to trying some special rolls in the future!“

“Guys, the sushi here is goated AND it's $6 for 8 pieces. Like, their avocados are so buttery smooth OMG 🤤🤤🤤. The workers are super sweet, and my friends and I got our orders really quick. Also, they don't play dookie remixes. The remixes are actually good.“

“I cannot believe it took me a year to try this place!! If you’re looking for a casual, yummy, take-out lunch, definitely give this place a go! Over the past month, I’ve tried the chicken teriyaki bowl and multiple sushi rolls. Everything is so delicious, so reasonably priced, and always ready to go within just a few minutes of ordering. The portion sizes are large and reasonable for what they cost, and the service is very quick and friendly. This has definitely become one of my staple lunch spots in the area!“
