The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Yorkshire and The Humber

I had the pleasure of dining at Hama Korean restaurant last night, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this restaurant and will visit next time👍

Kajiya Teppanyaki is more than just a meal—it’s a spectacular culinary performance that leaves you in awe! Our recent visit as a family of seven to celebrate a 40th birthday was nothing short of extraordinary. What made this experience truly special was how personal and intimate it felt. You are the only table in this small, cozy restaurant, creating an exclusive atmosphere that lets you fully immerse yourself in the artistry of teppanyaki. From the moment we were seated around the sizzling grill, it was clear that this wasn’t just dining—it was an experience tailored just for us. The chef was a true master of his craft, blending precision, artistry, and a touch of humor to create an engaging and unforgettable performance. Every flick of his spatula and sizzle on the grill showcased his incredible skill, and he made sure to involve everyone at the table, creating an atmosphere of laughter and excitement. The food was absolutely divine. Each dish was prepared to perfection, with vibrant flavors that delighted the palate. From the tender, juicy meats to the fresh, perfectly seasoned vegetables, every bite was a testament to the quality and care put into the preparation. The chef even added personal touches, like customizing the level of seasoning and heat to match each guest’s preferences. The staff was attentive and welcoming, ensuring that the celebration felt special. They even brought out a beautifully presented dessert to honor the birthday milestone, complete with a heartfelt cheer from everyone around. Kajiya Teppanyaki provided not just a meal but a memory we’ll cherish forever. It’s the perfect spot for family gatherings, celebrations, or anyone looking for a unique and interactive dining experience. Highly recommended!

I have not eaten here, but by the reviews it looks amazing! however, I have left 3 messages over a 2 week period to book a table and no reply - not even to say there is no availability. Online booking was unavailable, and no email that I can see to either. I understand they may not be open everyday but I rang on a Thursday, Friday and a Tuesday.

Bonito sandwich con katsu muy suave y encantador en el sando, que estaba perfectamente equilibrado. Sin embargo, el servicio podría haber sido mejor - no se sentía particularmente bienvenido...

Came here as I’m already a fan of there sushi from their takeaway. It’s a little tricky to find as they share the building with another restaurant, and occupy the lower floor, so you have to walk down the stairs if you’ve entered the top entrance, otherwise they have a back entrance direct into their venue. We were very impressed with the service, presentation and range of delicious Japanese food. The Tapas menu was a winner with my wife who got to try a few different things, while for myself, the char siu ramen very tasty and extremely moorish. All in all, can’t wait to return!

Great service, fantastic food, love coming here for amazing sushi. Come often and they never disappoint. Thank you!!

No fui al lugar real, pero me lo entregaron. Absolutamente hermoso sushi vegano! Tengo algunas cosas que probar, que estaban muy bien hechas, de buen tamaño y sabían divinas. La caja promedio era de aproximadamente £ 12 pero bien vale la pena! Definitivamente pediré desde aquí de nuevo.

Super fresh sushi made daily in front of customers, wide selection to choose from. Tasting available at certain times of the day too to try for free. Selection of dry goods also available such as miso soup, wasabi peas, a variety of noodles and the famous well known crunchy onion. Range of sauces and Japanese drinks such as Ramune Lemonade, Sake and Beers are also available.

Spotted yummy sushi bar as we were walking around the market, intended on just getting a main and a side each, ended up getting katsu chicken and rice, chicken yakisoba, chicken and duck gyoza, crunchy prawn maki, spicy tuna hand roll salmon iso roll. They were all prepared fresh as we sat and ate each individually as it came out. Thoroughly enjoyed each dish, we didn’t intend to have so much but as we enjoyed each bit we ended up ordering more Would highly recommend yummy sushi bar to anybody

Despite living in Meanwood for five years, I'd never been to Hana Matsuri and finally got round to going this evening. I'd heard good things, but wasn't prepared for how good it was. The food (small plates) was incredible and very reasonably priced, the waiting staff were attentive and knowledgable - a truly memorable experience. I will certainly be back (at every opportunity).

Have just returned from a fantastic evening out with friends that ended up at Domo. From entering, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. As none of the group had been there before, we could have been taken advantage of however the staff really looked after us with lots of advice and suggestions on what to order. The food that arrived was, piping hot and of the highest order and was full of flavour. The staff were attentive without being over bearing. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. A real hidden gem

Very friendly little restaurant in York city centre, very friendly staff and a very Japanese atmosphere. The dishes we ate were very delicious and very tasty. They reminded us of the Japanese flavors that we tasted during our stay on Japanese soil. There is no reason to hesitate and in addition a very good quality/price kitchen open non-stop since 12.

I would easily say this is my all time favorite in terms of price/quality value sushi in the UK. Fish and the composition is spot on. The reason to look forward to a trip to Sheffield.

Local and come here lots. Food is amazing, lots of vegetarian and vegan options, and gluten free options, and there’s always new specials. So many deserts and drink options, from alcohols to matcha, soft drinks, teas and hot chocolates. I am inclined to their unique selection of high quality teas, their jasmine tea one of the best I’ve tried. Service is always quick and very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is so peaceful and calm. And of course the place and outside area are beautifully decorated. Reasonably priced as well. The most underrated cafe in York by far.
