50 Best Japanese Restaurants near White Plains

“Just finished my teriyaki steak box. Has to be the best I have ever had. Fresh, crisp, distinct flavors all on one plate. I do not usually write reviews but was so impressed that I had to congratulate them. Well done!“

“I love it!! And the place is clean“

“Came here to eat in New Year’s Day. Miso soup was so good. We ordered many hand yolks between two people. There was one tool I didn’t like too much I can’t remember the name now but all the rest were fresh and delicious.
They even gave us a cute ice cream dessert“

“Food was great, nice decor and soothing atmosphere. Very affordable. Had a great time with family.“

“Haikou is a great place! I got the crispy white meat sesame chicken with brown rice and it was very solid and came out nice and fresh. Next time I’ll try General Tso’s because everything looked good. Haikou definitely has my stamp of approval! I approve and recommend for sure.“

“Good sushi and sashimi. Good place“

“Our favorite sushi restaurant ever! And if you're not into sushi, there is something for you too - tempura, hibachi, etc. So very delicious and they are so nice there!“

“I absolutely Love This Place. I come here every chance i get, i love the food and the chefs provide cool entertainment 💪🏻“

“My husband and I did the table side omakase and overall, all the sushi was absolutely delicious! The only critique we have is for the dessert, which was green tea ice cream. We feel like for the price per person, the dessert should be a bit more elevated than ice cream that was most likely store bought. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who asked, but just give a heads up that the dessert may feel lacking.“

“Great service, delish is food! Never disappoints.“

“absolutely delicious service was great .🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤“

“We were five seconds away from getting hangry and we found this place. we both got the scallion pancakes and the pork ramen. Let me tell you the broth came out hot and plentiful. It was savory and rich. It was such a perfect end to our day. The scallion pancakes were pan fried and not deep fried, which we preferred. They were crispy and soft in the inside. I couldn’t recommend this hidden gem enough.“

“I almost forgot about this spot but remembered it from when I trained at the martial arts gym down the street. I saw the other reviews raved about the food and the impressive menu for such a little spot so I decided to stop in for lunch. Very delicious indeed and the fish was rather fresh and clean tasting. They offer a decently priced menu full of Japanese favorites including cooked dishes if you are not a sushi fan. I opted for a traditional tuna maki roll and a spicy tuna roll as apart of the lunch special. Both were so tasty I ended up ordering another roll to go and the crispy rice. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and traditional decor, very bright and clean looking. Sometimes these restaurants these days can get a little too funky with the decor so they made a proper choice maintaining simplicity. I see they deliver so I will definitely be ordering again when I am not in the area.“

“The Umami Bomb is exactly that. the bomb (1990). So good back to pre-pandemic portions and tasty ingredients. Thank God you exist.“

“I chose the sushi deluxe, and I guess it’s similar to an omakase style. They told me it would be 9 pieces with one roll, and honestly, all the selections were great. The fish was very fresh and high quality. I was also really impressed by their service.

My friend and I were deep in conversation and lost track of time, but they never rushed us to leave. I will definitely be coming back and will make a reservation next time (we were lucky to get seats with no wait just by walking in)!“

“Absolutely amazing! The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding, and the staff made us feel welcome.
Ambiance inside very light modern! Outside is okay!
Everything exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to come back. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves great Japanese inspired food!“

“Fogama provides seriously delicious Japanese dishes, that are expertly created from a vast and varied menu. Every dish was enjoyable and appreciated. Service was great when we first arrived, but then lacked on a very busy Friday evening. We will definitely return.“

“Our favorite sushi spot - love and crave their red dragon rolls. Also their salmon fried rice yummmm“

“Great food. Bento box is my fiancé & my favorite. Once a week We order.“

“Hands down the best sushi in westchester no joke. Theres no other place as fresh as this place, their spicy mayo is so different and their sushi is unmatched. Its a hidden gem, i dont even want to write this review so i can gatekeep it and keep it all to myself“

“I don’t know about the rest of you all, but this is by far, the best Japanese Cuisine place in the Area. Some of the best items from their menu The Angry Dragon Sushi, The Shrimp tempura, and the Spicy Salmon rolls.

Also try the gyoza and the amazing Kani salad (regular or spicy)

Also the presentation is outstanding, and don’t forget to try their amazing Thai ice Tea which is homemade. 100% recommended. 🫶🏻

PS: ask for their Fried Oreo Dessert, you won’t regret it😊“

“One of the best Ramen Bars I’ve ever been to. The flavors across the menu are unreal. The Spicy Miso Ramen w/ Pork Belly in particular was one of the best soup broths I’ve ever tasted. The service staff could not have been more friendly and courteous. The quaint setting and atmosphere lend themselves to almost feel like sitting at one big family style dinner table.“

“Excellent Asian fusion cuisine and great ambiance-at reasonable prices! Great drinks too!“

“Best Sushi in Yonkers. All the rolls are absolutely fresh and decadent. The quesadillas are excellent as well. A fun mix of Sushi & Mexican. A must go to if ever in Yonkers. I even dare say it is the best sushi in the Bronx. They are located less than 1/3 of a mile from the Bronx border and they deliver to the surrounding neighborhood in the Bronx. The guy who took our order is very amicable. The sushi chef prepares the rolls right in front of you. It was a great experience.“

“Good food, very consistent quality and service“

You gey to choose 2 meats plus a roll, shumai, rice & tempura veggies and soup & salad. Very good. Even better they a stamp card & you get stamps for every $25 you spend. Once card had has 10 stamps you get a $25 gift card to apply to your next visit. Honestly, lovely staff & calm environment. So glad its a neighborhood staple.“

“The service has always been top notch. Attentative and informative staff has been the hallmark of this restaurant for all the years I've been eating here.

The food has always been excellent. Beautiful too the eye, and yummy to the taste buds. Specials are made with add much care as the regular menu items.
Special occasions are honored. And school class trips to Osaka leave the kids thrilled to go back with their families.
John, the owner, and his staff are a joy to be around. Training is clearly taken seriously. And the staff genuinely take pride in giving guests a really nice meal and experience.“

“Best Japanese restaurant in Westchester. The owners provide the service and are very respectful and accommodating. The sushi is fresh and excellent and the food choices are authentic Japanese. Love the box lunches. I don’t think the negative reviews are fair at all. This is a traditional Japanese restaurant. Authentic Japanese is unique.“

“The kids loved it and they even ate“

“My go to for Japanese Cuisine. They are the best, they are consistent, they are quick, they have amazing prices, and they are personable/friendly. Can’t ask for better!!! Everything is always fresh & even their combination plates are fresh and delicious. As long as I live in New Rochelle, they will be the ones to satisfy my taste for sushi!🩷 Thank you Kiku Family“

“We ordered a party platter, and it’s absolutely amazing.
The quality of the sushi and rolls is excellent—fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced.
It’s the perfect lunch for our family of four.
Both the kids and the adults were very happy with the meal.
I’ll definitely be ordering again soon. 🍣✨“

“Nice I’m environment great aromas and wonderful food is nice place to just enjoy a decent meal“

“If you’re looking for an honest experience at Abis Restaurant, I suggest getting the experience firsthand. I’ve been there myself, and my experience was completely real — in the best way.

From the moment you walk in, everyone is welcoming, attentive, and kind. You can tell they care about the guests, not just about “doing their job.” Service felt warm, not forced — the kind where you feel comfortable asking questions and taking your time.

The food is where Abis really shines. Every dish we had was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. You can taste the quality and the care in the preparation. The menu offers comfort and creativity at the same time, which isn’t easy to pull off. Nothing felt rushed or careless — it felt like food made by people who take pride in what they serve.

The hibachi experience is a highlight all on its own. The chef didn't just cook- he put on a full show. It was fun, interactive, and entertaining without taking away from the quality of the food. Watching the precision, energy, and skill on the grill while the flames go up adds such a great atmosphere to the meal. And the food coming off the grill? Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and served hot and fresh.

Of course, Chef Angelo deserves recognition for the passion and leadership that clearly comes from the kitchen. But it’s also important to acknowledge the other hibachi chefs working that same day. Watching them cook for other tables, you could see the same level of talent, focus, and passion in their performances. It’s clear that the quality and showmanship at Abis isn’t just one person — it’s a team of skilled chefs who truly care about their craft.

And Jay, the owner, deserves recognition too. It’s rare to see an owner so present and involved. You can tell he truly values both his customers and his team, which says a lot about the heart behind this place.

Overall, Abi’s isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a place where hospitality, experience, and quality matter. I’ll definitely be coming back and would encourage others to experience it for themselves.“

“I have consistently ordered sushi from this place and it has never let me down. I live on McLean and I’ve tried so many other sushi spots, but nothing does it as good as TOMO. Honestly there’s no reason for me writing this review besides sitting in my living room thinking “there’s nothing better than this” and feeling like other people need to know too.“

“One of the only places around that is Asian food with a nice atmosphere. The dumplings were especially delicious, and the salad and miso soup were especially good. Then the bento box is always fun. The only negative was that the teriyaki chicken could have a little more char on it.“

“This place is CRIMINALLY underrated! The food tastes fresher than any of the other Chinese food places in the area, the staff are so friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere is rather cozy. Would highly recommend and will most definitely be returning.“
