It's always a great time here. Japanese Castle has always been our to go place for good sushi and ramen. The service is great, everyone is so attentive and friendly. The waiters always willing to take the time to explain the food and are very polite. The sushi chef's are so experienced and make everything so fresh. The music is great and the inside of the restaurant looks amazing. read more

The food was fresh to the taste and made to perfection. The bento box provided many options and was well portioned. The tempura, gyozas, and salmon were better than most places I e tried. The service was friendly and attentive. In addition, the atmosphere was relaxing. Enjoyed the music. read more

Pulled up here on a sunny afternoon and had to try a couple rolls. Let's start with the Baked Salmon roll, you know that slight slime you get on salmon when it's not cooked to perfection? Yeah that's what this was, mediocre taste and not really my cup of tea. Let's move to the Samurai roll, baked to perfection, not hard to get down, and you tasted all the flavors mashed inside your mouth. I might take my business elsewhere on the next one due to the poor Baked Salmon roll though. Baked Salmon Roll: 6.2 Samurai Roll: 7.9 read more

Our families favorite Friday night spot. Yummy Ramen, Yummy Pork Cutlet and a plethora of yummy fresh sushi. We'd love to come here more often, but we don't want to burn out. Great place and we couldn't recommend it more! But did I mention the music playlist?!!! Yassss!! {queeen!!!) read more

Made a special trip here for dinner and had a really enjoyable night. The sashimi was definitely the highlight. Everything tasted very fresh, and the quality of the fish was excellent. I also ordered the hamachi kama, which was cooked really well, although I thought the seasoning was a little mild. They do give you sauce on the side, but I personally would have liked a little more flavor on the fish itself. I also had a bottle of Dassai 45 Junmai Daiginjo, which was really good and went perfectly with the sashimi. I sat at the sushi bar and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The staff was very polite and attentive, and I could hear the sushi chefs speaking Japanese behind the counter, which gave the place a very authentic and professional feel. I ordered quite a bit of food and my bill was around $85 before tip, or about $100 total. For the quality of the food and the overall experience, I thought the price was very reasonable. Overall, a great dinner and a very pleasant evening. I'd definitely come back again. read more

Gave Mom a few options: Japanese, Vietnamese or Italian food for lunch? She went for Japanese. "I haven't had Japanese curry in awhile." Great choice, because like her, been a minute since I've had that, too! We were about 20 minutes away, so I jumped on the Yelp waitlist (just to make sure we were seated ASAP since we were hangry!) Luckily, plenty of tables open when we arrived so we were seated immediately. I got the chance to look at their menu beforehand so I had an idea what I wanted. Mom went for what her palate desired. While waiting, we noticed their "Buy a beer, sake or soju, get a secret menu item for free" sign. (Mondays to Thursdays only.) We were curious, so, why not. It's a nicely decorated restaurant, almost as if we were transported somewhere in Japan for a meal. (I've never been, but I imagine the decor is close.) Didn't notice any clutter or mess. Floors were clean. Always a plus! CORN TEMPURA: This was the secret menu that went with the beer. Honestly, I am not a fan of corn kernels, but tried it anyway. Flavor of the batter was tasty enough to overcome that corn essence, so it worked out well for me. (I'm sure corn fans would disagree.) I only took two small bites, though, because the corn flavor started coming through more than I preferred. But not bad for a freebie! SOFT SHELLED CRABS: Deep fried, a must-have whenever I see it on the menu. Made to order HOT, batter was thin enough so it doesn't overwhelm the crabs' overall flavor. This was PERFECT. It didn't need the dip, it was great as it was. Great crisp, great flavor, RECOMMENDING. SPANISH MACKEREL: Also a must-have whenever I see it on a Japanese restaurant's menu. Good salt and vinegar level with a very tiny hint of sweet. Fish was fresh. Another good starter and palate cleanser. BENTO BOX LUNCH: I chose the pork cutlet with 2 sides: calamari and shrimp with vegetable tempura and although it already came with katsu sauce, I too, asked for a side of curry sauce (for a teenee upcharge.) I was a bit overwhelmed when my box arrived since I didn't account for the soup and the salad that went with it - it was a ton of food! Salad was fresh with good amount of Japanese dressing. Miso soup was hot and seasoned perfect. Tempura shrimp (2pcs) was a bit undercooked, but not raw, still delicious. Tempura vege was perfect. Rice was warm and fluffy. They gave a generous amount of calamari that I thought they messed up and gave us a full order vs. a side. Not only is it a lot, it's delicious. Good crisp, good chew, great flavor. I loved loved LOVED my bento box! Mom also enjoyed her brewski and her pork cutlet curry. As mentioned earlier, they are generous with their servings so we had plenty of leftovers for a second meal. (I ended up sharing it with Hubbers who enjoyed it as well.) FOOD: 5. We liked everything. SERVICE: 5. Jasmine was perfect - friendly, service with a smile, she was available when needed even after it got crowded. She was efficient with her time and made sure she gave every table the attention it required and deserved. VALUE: 5. Quality and quantity. More than worth it! PARKING: Private lot shared with others. Not an issue when we came through on mid-week lunch rush. OVERALL: 5. They are popular - most of the tables were occupied by the time we left. Good for them. Hubbers liked our takeout so much and said I should take him there sometime. The answer to that, of course, is a definite: YES. Looking forward to that second visit. read more

Like this place! Service is normal, sushi is good, environment is great. Umami roll - very good. Mango Night Roll - even better! I've gotten this a few times and love it. Pico and mango on top is a great flavor. Comes w miso soup and salad which makes it a great deal. The environment is decorated adorably, there met the Japanese theme. Price is fair compared to other sushi restaurants in the area, not over $20 mostly which I appreciate. Will go back ! read more

Came here after Sunday service with my sisters. We were completely in shock of how beautiful it was and how we were greeted immediately and with so much care. We sat at a booth. Let me say the customer service was phenomenal. Very attentive and always checking in at the right time. Reason for taking off one star was because the food could have been better. Unfortunately we have had better but I'll give credit where it's due. Service and how clean and the waiters were AMAZING. We ordered the tonkotsu some sushi. I might consider going back but wish food was a little better. read more

The sushi was okay. We ordered a salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, and a few other bites to go, so I can't really speak on the dine-in experience. Nothing was bad, but it was honestly pretty forgettable. At least it wasn't gross lol. Would we order from here again? Probably not, but it was worth trying once. read more

I love this sushiiiii! It's never a miss here my favorite is their baked salmon roll and the Dragon roll is right behind it. Their egg rolls are always so fresh and crispy I crave them. The service is always a 10 here as well as the ambience! read more

On a lovely Saturday evening, my boyfriend and I visited Japanese Castle. We arrived around 8:00 PM and only waited about 15 minutes. The interior design was well put together. I really appreciate restaurants that build an immersive experience beyond just the menu. The lighting was dim, which set a great mood, and the music selection was impressively diverse. Now for the food: I ordered the Baked Salmon Roll (4/5) and the Hot Pepper Chicken (3/5). I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce on the chicken and was hoping for a crispier texture, but the Miso Soup was absolutely delicious. The servers wear light-up name tags, which is a brilliant touch and made it so easy to remember who was taking care of us! I'll def be back to try other menu items. read more

Walked in and was advised to wait 20-30 minutes. We were given a choice to sit at the sushi bar as there was open seating. Even though we sat at the sushi bar the waitress comes ans takes your order. We ordered Spicy Edamam as an appetizer, the inside was cold so I decided to have a cup of Hot Tea, no real sugar here, only artificial packs, no good. The sushi was pretty good, the beer even better.Lol.Service was good. Will be back if Im in the area. read more

The beef bulgogi, salmon teriyaki are so good as well as the tempura. Every time I come they greet me at door, remember my family and are quick to get our order started.

Charming little sushi restaurant. I've been here several times, and I can say they don't disappoint. A diverse variety of sushi, sesame chicken, baked mussels, spicy garlic edamame -- my son loves the 'Baby Rockstar' roll -- everything has been good. Parking was a bit tight but still enough and plenty. Located in a plaza. read more

I came here with a friend to eat a late lunch and it was our first time here. It's a nice restaurant with great ambiance and the food was pretty good, BUT the service could've been better. When we were done eating, we've waited hoping a server would pass by, but I had to go to the front to let them know we were done. My friend said she'd come back again. As for me, I'll think about it. read more

Overall I enjoyed my visit to this Castle with some highlights which were the fine attentive service with a smile, the reasonable noise level and casual ambiance (with plenty of parking nearby), and in particular the excellent salmon collar and the pork cutlet. The sushi was a strange letdown, rather tasteless, and the rice did no one any favors. Salad was forgettable tho the orange slices excellent (this time of year). Still, this is a very reasonably priced experience with generous portions and I'd come back just for the salmon collar and to try some different dishes. read more

SUSHI SAMPLER IS THE BEST. I love that you get 4 rolls, salad and miso soup for a great price. Very friendly servers, very Japanese style atmosphere inside, and open pretty late for a sushi spot. Would definitely come back! read more

The food was great and Yani was an amazing server. Friendly and efficient. Very clean locations as well

Good food for the price. The meal deal was pretty good and the server was friendly and quick with drinks and starters. Sushi rolls were good and well worth the meal deal. Teriyaki beef was good but came somewhat lukewarm. Miso soup was good but the tofu was meh. It tasted boiled separately and that one brand from ranch 99. I didnt have any seaweed but my partner had plenty. Bulgogi beef was meh as well. Over half of it was onions. I personally like the Christmas decor and it gives a great ambiance for Christmas. Overall I would come back again, just not the bulgogi. read more

Authentic Japanese food. Family owned restaurant, not a chain restaurant. Traveling across the US, It's always a pleasure discovering gems like Japanese Castle Sushi & Roll. The restaurant ambience was calming, the staff were gracious, helpful, and courteous. Shrimp and vegetable tempura, chicken teriyaki, rice, miso soup, salad, all cooked/made with true Japanese generational skill. Sushi was fresh and tasted perfect The price, cost half of chain Japanese restaurants. This Japanese Restaurant is 2 miles from large hotels in surrounding area, whose hotel guests patronize a chain Japanese restaurant, paying double the price, with less taste. Highly recommend for seekers of authentic food. Arigato. read more

Came here on a cold, rainy day and it was mine and my boyfriend's anniversary. We were greeted right away. We took a look at the menu then ordered. For starters, we got the corn tempura, just to try something different. We both really enjoyed this and it was something good to munch on in between our meal. It was cold, so we both got soup. My boyfriend ordered the ramen tonkatsu and I got the pain udon with a side of sushi. My boyfriend thought the ramen was okay. The noodles were good, had good texture. It was bouncy. But the stuff that comes in it was just ehh. I tried the soup and it wasnt too bad. The udon was okay as well. Nothing special. I like the noodles. My boyfriend said the soup taste like water but I know the broth is suppose to be light like that. I really enjoyed the sushi! You can tell the quality is good. I'm always picky about my tuna sushi because most sushi places I've gone to, you can tell they serve it frozen this one tasted fresh, not frozen. The yellowtail and albacore was good too. Some places they taste chewy. And can't go wrong with salmon! The ambiance it cool. The music was poppin lol. You had your oldies, hip hop, pop. My review would have been 5 stars, but after we received our food the service sucked! Towards the end of the meal my boyfriend told me he told our waiter we were celebrating our anniversary (while I was in the restroom) and he wanted to surprise me. The waiter said he can bring out some mochi. Like I said after we received our food, we received no service whatsoever! Not even for drink refills or a "how are you doing?" "Can I get you anything?" I would like to give this place another chance, just cos I'm pretty sure we ordered the wrong food as it looks like they're known for their sushi. I just hope they improve in their service! read more
