16 Best Japanese Restaurants near Live Oak

“We went to celebrate my Mom's and my birthdays. Our chef was wonderful and very entertaining. Most of us ordered steaks, and he got everyone's orders correct and at the right temperature. If you want a fun, family dinner for a celebration, this is the perfect location.“

“This place is fantastic!The staff are super friendly and attentive. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and were sat at a table promptly. Our server Jessica was wonderful.The atmosphere was such a vibe. Good music playing overhead but not too loud. TVs throughout the restaurant playing things like Bob Ross, Sports and animal shows. The lighting is spot on. Not too dim where you need to pull out a flashlight to read the menu but not to bright that you need to squint.The food is delicious and fresh. Every thing I ate, from the chicken nuggets to the sushi rolls, was incredible. The menu is very diverse which is nice when for “all you can eat” because you can get a little of everything. The portion sizes are perfect. A lot of other places that do “all you can eat” serve super small portions. These were just the right size!This was my first time here and I will definitely be back! 10/10 highly recommend and worth every penny!“

“Went to this place with friends after another place was closed. Staff was friendly. We had the some appetizers like the gyoza dumplings (pork) fried that was really good. Also the Edamame and Jalapeño Lagoon which is jalapeño deep fried with cream cheese and crab meat. I had the Avocado roll which has Chicken Tempura, avocado, cucumber and sushi rice. Normally they would top it with spicy crab but I asked to have mine without the crab. It was really good. Got our food quickly. My friends enjoyed the different rolls they ordered. Will definitely come back again since there are other things in the menu I want to try. It is also reasonably priced.“

“Had such a great atmosphere with wonderful service. The food was amazing. The mermaid roll and honey roll is my favorite, so delicious. The all you can eat sushi is such an awesome option! Not bad on cost for the amount of servings you can get.“

“Amazing experience, soo fun and the great cuts of meat and portions are hefty. Can’t wait to go again“

“I'm always looking for a new place to experience. The atmosphere is wonderful. I took my teen kids for a nice easy birthday dinner. The food is spectacular, no doubt. Everything we ordered was on point. My only critique is on our server. A very kind and attentive young lady. She unfortunately lacked knowledge of the menu and certain items that we did not know. Several times she needed to go and ask for help to answer our questions. I appreciate the honesty rather than trying to fake it. I believe service is important to the dining experience. Not sure if our dessert was to be served frozen. Mochi ice cream, sure. Japanese crepe frozen to the point I was afraid I'd break the plate trying to cut it into a bite size piece with the tiny spoon. I will visit again for sure. Hopefully staff will be ready to attend to their clients with the same gracious care I was given and a lil more knowledge of the product they represent.“

“Lunch portion was a pretty decent size, pad thai was good, though I think next time I'll get a hot instead of the medium since it was still pretty mild for my taste. The thai tea was too milky. Overall I would visit again.Parking: Went around lunch time, parking was ok but the lot is shared with other businesses so it might be more difficult during the dinner rush“

“Awesome meal at a reasonable price. Will eat again.“

“Amazing food. Very pleased with the portions and taste. Will be going back.“

“Seriously one the best ramen places in SA. Atmosphere was so fun and they were playing One Piece while we dined in! The buns are delicious, drinks are refreshing and the ramen is *chef's kiss* beautiful.“

“The service was very prompt and overall we were pleased. I do think the meals we cooked for ourselves were a bit pricey but we will go back! The kimchi friend rice was my favorite.“

“Good food and proffesional srrvice.“

“Love this place! Best food and happy hour in San Antonio,Tx . Definitely recommend 10/10“

“We went tonight for dinner and we had Mike. Mike is an exceptional chef. Everything was incredible. Enrique recommended a plum wine that was so good, We will definitely be going back!“

“great service clean and very nice inside. the food is excellent will definitely have to go back soon. too bad it's all the way across town from where I live. A+++++“

“I had no idea this adorable shop was nestled inside the Japanese tea gardens. Quite an assortment of treats, from coffee, to boba, to sushi, Miso soup, paletas, adults drinks, and ramen. The staff was very busy but keep smiles on their faces and kind words as they took your order. If you're a mom wrangling your kids all day, you have to try the prickly pear sake slushy, mama, I promise, you earned it! They have fun little gifts, jewelry, colorful umbrellas, quick snacks. A must stop !!“
