8 Best Japanese Restaurants in Rochester

“went here for the first time today! im so glad we came here. this was an incredible experience. our server was an absolute sweetheart and the sushi was absolutely premium quality. I got the all you can eat. had some shrimp and calamari tempura, Phoenix roll, new crazy roll, futa maki, and royal roll. the phoenix was a very strong start, a great first roll. the new crazy roll was my first time trying deep fried sushi, I had no idea what to expect but never could have expected what I got. it blew my mind. Futa Maki was a great roll to have after the crazy roll because the crazy roll is very bold and the futs maki was milder and simpler. a delicious high quality pallette cleanser and a great transition into the Royal Roll. which was my favorite one. the lobster sauce was sweet, the presentation was gorgeous. like everything else, the flavor was high quality and the roll was expertly crafted. I will be back. thank you. pictured here is my phoenix roll“

“I would say it's a typical sushi place but with good, friendly and quick service. I've never had sushi that was amazing so its as expected. On the other hand, the crab rangoon was some of the best I've had. Definitely recommend the speciality drinks though. Not strong but a very good mix of flavors.“

“Despite just being opened and in a soft-opening, service was great! So excited to go back & have an Ichiddo Ramen in Rochester.“

“Great atmosphere and our server was awesome“

“We had such a great time for my son's birthday. The staff were amazing.“

“One of my favorite food places in the mall. The Hibachi service is kinda neat just to watch for what you pay for. Drizzle some Bourbon Chicken on top, I can eat that everyday. Nevermind the Beta Male Karens complaining about wearing masks (NPC/mindless drone) or assumptions about the employees giving them looks...You just get your food and eat it!“

“My son took me to his favorite sushi place in Rochester last night. I can see why it's his favorite. Our server Summer was wonderful, answered all our questions was very attentive. She noticed me struggling with chopsticks and kindly offered either a fork or training chopsticks which I gladly accepted the training chopsticks. Sushi was AMAZING! we ordered 6 different kinds between our party of 3. Loved them all. Decor inside was very nice, while it looked rather small it comfortably accommodated 2 parties of over 9 each and various other tables. Thank you for a wonderful sushi experience. My only negative is please use black font next time you print your menus, white is very hard for older folks to read making it much harder to tell what ingredients the sushi will have. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Ended up here for late lunch, my kid ALWAYS wants to eat here after an endoscopy. We came here again yesterday and he had the Shoyu Ramen (his favorite) and Peach Boba tea with milk. Phenomenal! He let me try it and I became an instant fan. I love to replicate restaurant dishes at home, and I know I could not do that broth justice. The flavors are complex and subtle. I didn't care for the Boba (sort of floral?) but he loved it. The only ding I have is that it's hidden away. If he hadn't known it was there, there is no way I would have gone into that hole in the wall location. This place is far superior to its surroundings.“
