The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Glasgow and Surrounding

Amazing sushi selection, beautiful presentation and so so tasty! Great drinks menu too. Will definitely be back, haven't tried takeaway service yet but plan to

We have ordered takeaway a few times from Nigiri and the food is great. Well packaged and tasty. Having had the "real deal" in Singapore / Japan, this is pretty close to the mark. I am not a fan of Japanese style rice, but I am reliably informed that the chicken Katsu is top notch. We have sampled several of the appetisers (my preference) and can recommend the pork and the chicken gyozas (5 pieces in each). The prawn and chicken tempura is also lovely. We also tried the "loaded fries" and that is a meal in its own right! Lastly, some of the sushi was sampled and the California roll was superb. We had an issue with an order placed due to a systems glitch. You can tell the service when things go wrong - not when they always go right. Linda was very apologetic about the issue and it was rectified and we got a complimentary order as an apology. Nigiri is one of our regular places and we look forward to trying the rest of the menu ! It's great to see something other than pizza / fish and chip places. A good variety in the area is much appreciated.

I had a fantastic experience at Kokoro Glasgow! Among all the top-rated restaurants I’ve tried in the city, this one truly stands out. The food is absolutely delicious, and the restaurant maintains a high level of cleanliness and efficiency. A special thanks to Mitra for their excellent service—it made the visit even better! She was welcoming and attentive, which added to the overall positive experience. The menu offers a great selection of vegetarian options. The fresh sushi and katsu salad were both exceptional—flavorful and perfectly portioned for a satisfying meal. Highly recommend Kokoro Glasgow for anyone looking for tasty Japanese food with great service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Very happy that the Bibimbap is back!! That being said we have always had a lovely experience dining here. There are more options now than a year ago also. When we takeaway, the food is always fresh and full of flavour - might need a bit of a moment in the microwave with hot items but that doesn’t make a difference. The staff are lovely, options are great and we come back for more!

Booked here for dinner - the food here was lovely, served promptly and well presented. One of my friends had an issue with her food (absolutely nothing to do with the restaurant, she’s just quite picky) and it was taken off the bill as a kind gesture. Our server was great and very attentive. We were sat in a private area/booth and the table beside us seemed to be two members of staff having a meeting or doing some paperwork, usually I wouldn’t be bothered at all by this, however we felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable as we didn’t want to bother them by being too loud etc as they were right beside us. Totally understand that these things need to happen however it wasn’t the atmosphere we expected for it being 8pm.
