23 Best Japanese Restaurants near Brooklyn

“First time ever in my life I ever tried hot pot and it was pretty good. I had cut fish balls, fatty beef, cilantro, and instant noodles was an amazing combination specially with the spicy broth. Server was a little rude but, all and all was nice experience.“

“Nice and clean place, I actually would like to eat in one day. Finally, a place that has good tofu that's less expensive than meat options. Best teriyaki sauce I've ever had! Good amount of fresh tasty food at a reasonable price, which is very rare these days. Glad to have you in Fairview., thank you ??Vegetarian options: Tofu, miso soup“

“I absolutely love this place! I highly recommend going here for lunch or dinner. I have had their sushi/nagiri and a few entrees - I have never been disappointed with any of their food. The people are so kind and the atmosphere is relaxing.“

“Every delivery order through here was a breeze. The tuna onigiris are warm, fresh, and slap all the time. The hot spicy tonkatsu ramen is too good to pass on. The gyudon Japanese beef rice was tender and slap. Korean cheese hot dog is close to authentic and worth the price. Chicken nuggets were lowkey mid with no flavor, could be battered a bit more.“

“Walked in with a party of 3 for dinner on a Tuesday night. There was plenty of space at the bar so we didn't have to wait. Started off with a Hitachino XR beer, and proceeded with some amazing sushi. We ordered a little bit of everything - some standouts included the negitoro handroll, otoro, and unagi. Enjoyed the ambiance of sitting at the bar and getting served immediately by the sushi chef. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area.“

“Very friendly staff and delicious food!“

“Sora is a really dope spot. Has great food and an amazing atmosphere“

“Such incredibly amazing service & yummy sushi. They even went so far as to change the music playing overhead, to a request (piano music) to make our dining experience that much more enjoyable. We were the only ones present so far, at that moment, being there for opening of the day. Was fantastic tea, fresh fish, and hot soup. . . I love the beautiful purple flowers that garnish some of the plates & each meal is presented with such an artistic flare - I did not want to disturb the food to eat it, was so pretty as presented ! Could not have been better, for such an affordable price.“

“This place rocks! Favorite Korean spot I’ve found in Cleveland. Staff was friendly and went above and beyond. It’s small and cozy, which makes the experience feel so personal. Plus, the food was delicious. We tried the seafood pancake which contained various seafood delights, and the hot stone bibibap bowl, which was also amazing with how the rice crisped up. Also, make sure you get the hot tea! Will definitely be coming back soon.“

“Amgie was absolutely wonderful her service was excellent she was kind and sufficient! The food was wonderful the shrimp tempura roll was absolutely amazing the best I’ve ever had. My son ordered a kids hibachi which was also wonderful and wow what an amazing portion for the price. The spring rolls were also a big favorite. The avocado was so fresh on the salad. My only complaint was the lettuce i am not a fan of head lettuce it would have been so much better with romaine or green leaf. It was our first time there and we can not wait to go back! 10 stars ⭐️Parking: Parking was so convenient right in front of the doorKid-friendliness: The server was so nice to my son she made us both feel so welcomed the food was such a great portion for the price he had left overs for later.“

“They are open for dining and it was so good!!“

“When I went in I ordered the hibachi with noodles and rice. Surprisingly they put both in one portion which was really nice. The owner seems like a hipster guy and was really nice. I recommend using their spicy teriyaki because it is actually good and although it’s not really spicy it does leave a tingle in your mouth as you eat. The portions are huge and I would say it’s decently priced. If you’re looking for quick hibachi this would be it. The only thing I will say is I wish there were more vegetables in my hibachi. When you eat hibachi the rice noodles and vegetables and protein is what it’s all about especially when they use that spicy teriyaki even a picky eater would eat the broccoli because it’s so good. Also lastly the faces on the workers and TJ the owner seemed to be neutral. lol I couldn’t tell if they were mad, sad, or irritated, or happy. I would recommend smiling more just so people can tell or assume that you’re in a good mood. Our meal did not take long to make and it was very flavorful. The yum yum sauce looks like nacho cheese but it tasted good. Maybe in the future get a higher quality yum yum sauce. But besides everything listed, everyone was nice and no one was mean but the atmosphere was difficult to tell at times and I would have liked more vegetables in my hibachi.My husband and I will definitely be coming back and everyone reading this please keep in mind of the false food poisoning claims. Since living here every newer restaurant review on google has had an early claim of food poisoning by someone trying to either just get free stuff or is claiming it was from the last place they ate. It can take up to 24-48 hours for food poisoning to affect you depending on the contaminated food and what type of bacteria it is. With the amount of food people eat in a day it would be difficult to trace where it came from and what caused it. I am not saying the claims are wrong but what I am saying is in this area when new food restaurants open up people seem to always claim food poisoning and then you never hear or see anyone claim it again.“

“Consistently great food and good service keeps my colleagues and I coming back week after week for lunch. The price for lunch is great for the quality of food you get. The lunch bento box is a perfect size for anyone. The sushi lunch comes in two sizes making it a great lunch option as well no matter the appetite.“

“Really great sushi! And the fried veggie dumplings are amazing!! The service is great too. Fish and veggies are always fresh and delicious.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegetarianParking: Spots can be limited but they do have designated parking for their restaurant“

“Ordered from here a few times and everything I’ve had so far has been excellent. Their sushi is probably the best I’ve found in this area - the fish is super fresh and the rice is cooked perfectly. The chicken hibachi is also amazing and such a good deal at $10. Will definitely keep coming back!“

“Lovely staff and delicious food!“

“Kat was our server and did an excellent job. In our party, some ordered sushi rolls, hibachi and sashimi. Everything was very tasty. They even brought out some samples of other sushi rolls for us to try. We went during lunch, and there is a nice variety of specials offered. We would eat there again.“

“Great food!!! Friendly staff and quick service!“

“The best noodle house in Cleveland. Ive had many times and will continue eating at this great place.“

“Overall, a wonderful little place that if you're lucky enough to catch out of the corner of your Eye as you pass and able to stop by, you have found a cool spot. Everyone that visits should be able to find something they enjoy. Perfect little menu not hard to zero in on a familiar item. Good prices, good food, good people. Ocean soup was yummy and I hit it with some of their house made ginger sauce (a must condiment) and it was bangin a Dragon roll also which was good stuff too. Don't forget to get a little eel sauce on the side and their wasabi sauce.“

“I ate here last year while visiting the area, and was excited to find it again on my own. The food is wonderful, the service is excellent, and if you are lucky enough to have them, cook your food in front of you, then you are in for a treat. Believe me, I will eat here again the next time I’m in town.“

“Delicious and has volume for a great price love it! Recommend to everybody“

“I have been meaning to check this place our for a while now, but I finally got to celebrate my birthday there recently and was completely blown away by the entire experience. We passed around all our snacks and drinks so we can try as much as we could, and it was all fantastic. The staff rules, the vibe is right, and we'll all be regulars now!“
