The best Japanese in Gwinnett. Hands down. Good quality and portion sizes are always on point.

I am not the biggest sushi fan but the Bagel Roll caught my eye and I had to try it. Smoked salmon, cream cheese, and everything bagel season...what more do you need? Just wish the restaurants near me had this on their menu. read more

Amazing food , service and atmosphere! This was the best Japanese food we've ever had ! We are visiting from out of town but will be back. 10/10 read more

I just Doordashed my meal for the first time and it was amazing! I had a kids hibachi chicken with fried rice with a side order of shrimp tempura. I want to go to sleep at work right now! I will definitely be ordering again! read more

My family and I eat bento boxes from here for dinner pretty regularly! When you order to-go (you're only option because they still don't allow dine-in due to COVID), you are a little limited in the pick-up area. However, I will say they are pretty efficient in getting people in and out. I usually get the chicken or shrimp teriyaki bento box with the shrimp shumai and I can't remember what roll. Both the teriyaki and the basic rolls the bento box come with are just okay. More specifically, the sushi rolls you can choose from are nothing to write home about. The STAR of the bento box is the shrimp shumai. Since I've tasted them at Yami, I've been looking for them at all of the sushi places I eat at now. Very delicious! The boxes also last you for at least 2 meals- maybe lunch twice? read more

Food- I got three rolls of sushi and it was really good for the price. Great value. I will return to try other dishes! Prices- Reasonable and great for the portion you get. Atmosphere- I went on a Wednesday night. It was quiet and clean. Service- Excellent. They were very polite and friendly. read more

Honestly, this place is amazing! The food was incredibly fresh and packed with flavor! I usually don't leave reviews, but I promised myself I would, no matter how long it's been since I ordered. Once I tasted it, I had to order again, lol! The customer service was fantastic, and I will definitely be back for more! The restaurant itself seemed pretty clean! read more

Came in before going to the movies inside the mall. it's a cute little shop that mostly does to go orders, but they were very accommodating for a sit down group of 2. we'd both gotten the bento box, and everything in it was delicious. mine included a spicy california roll, fried rice, chicken noodles, and veggies. it also came with a cheese wonton, which was a cream cheese rangoon. read more

It can be really hard to find decent hibachi that doesn't cost more than $25 a plate. Yami Japan has pretty decent portion sizes. I had the steak and shrimp hibachi for dinner. Everything was seasoned and cooked well. I prefer to pickup the food instead of dining in because the dining room is pretty small, but I've noticed it seems to stay pretty empty if you did want to dine in. read more

Got it to go. The service was quick and the sushi was delicious and the hibachi was fantastic as well. Lots of yum yum sauce and shrimp was grilled really well which I like. read more

They are located in the tiny strip with Red Crawfish and Jersey Mike's. I absolutely love this place. I hate going to expensive hibachi restaurants when I could literally come here and spend maybe $10. I always get the bento box with shrimp hibachi noodles and instead of the rice that comes with it, I get extra veggies. It also comes with a sushi roll. All of this is around $8-9!! The noodles are pretty much lo mein noodles. I've dined here before, and they give full-service dining. Food comes out pretty fast too! read more

Yami Japan - Shrimp hibachi noodle bento box - Japanese Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

I've been coming here for 12+ years, and this has always had a 5 star review because it is the best hole in the wall family owned small business. It was always priced well, with everything on the menu super affordable. But I'm sure COVID has hit the small business, and the indoor seating has gone away. It is now take-out only. I thought it was a COVID-era change that would go back to normal after a while, but here we are in November 2022, and the business is take-out only. I was really upset about this because I have so many fond memories in this place. I've watched the staff's daughter grow up in the restaurant, doing her homework in a back table while her mother worked and waited tables. I hope they are both doing ok. But I still want to be able to dine in, and I'm sure many other people feel the same. read more

My food was delicious. It was hot and ready when I got to the store to pick it up. The rice was seasoned to perfection, my protein as well. The portion size was a nice size and the staff was nice. I would not recommend the soup or salad but the hibachi is awesome! read more

Yami Japan - 3. Shrimp Habachi - Japanese Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

This is an underrated Japanese food gem. From the first time, I am always satisfied. They have many choices and they are all very tasty. Their service was efficient and courteous. I prefer the teriyaki or hibachi plates as opposed to the noodles. If it's your first time I suggest you go for the hibachi/teriyaki place. Enjoy because it's pretty delicious ! Only thing I would provide as constructive criticism is that the waitresses float around and check on their customers a bit more frequently. OH! One last thing, if you have room in your tummy after your meal, TRYYY their Mochi Ice Cream! . read more

Yami Japan - Bento box!!! - Japanese Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

Apparently, this place does not realize that Covid is over!! Was ready to give it a try and they are only doing take out.

Outstanding! I love their spicy seafood roll so much that I get cravings for it. The pork egg roll is good too. Honestly about everything I've tried is good, but I usually can't pass on the spicy seafood roll. read more

great prices, fast (but made fresh), and delicious! definitely our new go-to place to eat when we visit the mall

The shrimp tempura was really good! Lots of food for its price! It's not the most amazingly cooked chicken and fried rice, but the cheese tempura and shrimp tempura roll tasted absolutely amazing! My sister loved the shrimp dumplings. The bento box was 10.95, and I was honestly really happy with the quantity and quality of food. Would come here again. read more

I cannot begin to start regarding the food at this place. If you want pseudo (fake) Japanese food come here. I ordered a daily "Bento" special at $7.95. I asked for the vegetable tempura and spicy tuna sushi combo which comes with fried(?) rice, vegetables, a drop of wasabi and a drop of ginger. I have never seen this little served on a plate before. I had to ask for a little more. The rice I believe was supposed to be fried rice ... i couldn't tell if it was steamed white rice tossed with cheap soy sauce or what. It was tasteless and I saw no eggs, veggies nor anything else in the rice. My veggies appeared to have been frozen then steamed with cheap soy sauce and tasted horrible. Another issue I had was that I ordered Vegetable Tempura and got Shrimp Tempura (which cost a little more). I didn't make a deal of it. I was in hurry so I just ate it, paid and left. I did mention it to the cashier who was very apologetic. In all fairness I will say that the Spicy Tuna sushi that accompanied my meal was good! I eat a variety (Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Philipino, Korean, etc) of Asian foods regularly whether home cooked or bought. I hate to say this but the meal here by far was the worse Japanese food I've tasted. I am half Japanese and have eaten it all my life. This is not close to authentic Japanese food with the exception of the sushi I had. I have 2 stars because the owners (Korean I believe) are courteous and they try. read more

I will totally come back to eat here!! Best service ever! We got the best deals the food was soo delicious. The food was amazing it was not overpriced I like the love customer service the waitress was so nice I wish I had gotten her name I work across the mall and that is my go to food every single time when I'm a break and I enjoy every bite of that food read more

I go to Yami Japan probably 4-5 times a month for lunch and WILL NOT go anywhere else for hibachi. They have the BEST prices while still using high quality proteins and veggies unlike the "express hibachi" places; still matches their price too!! The just re-opened the interior so dine in is available but i always do pickup since they are near my office and food is always ready when i get there! They have great service and the owners are very friendly. If you are looking for a quality meal that is quick and easy this is your place! read more

Okay so seriously...I was not impressed when I pulled into the shopping center parking lot. But since I was there I went with it. Walked in...STILL not impressed! Ordered...and got salad instead of soup and water for the drink...OMG...now I'm thinking "I done f$&@ed up... salad dressing was congealed...and water cup was greasy! So I picked at salad and went out to my car to grab a bottled water. Now I'm just KNOWING this about to be THE WORST $ spent on food this week (I'm a foodie). Welp guys and gals...that's where this buck ENDS!!!! When they brought the food out I had to look around and see did I walk back into the correct restaurant...The food looked and was presented amazingly!!! Oh...it gets better!!! The TASTE!!! Lawd the taste was so fresh and delicious that I could not believe what I was tasting....I got chicken and shrimp Teriyaki with steamed rice and veggies and oh boy was it DELICIOUS!!! Moral to this story don't judge a book by the cover or in this case...fantastic food by the greasy cup or sketch looking salad dressing...both of which is WHY this only gets 3 stars from me! But I will definitely be back!!! read more

Jammit! Where's my onion volcano?? Okay, okay, Yami Japan, while they do dabble with their hibachi flavors, they aren't the place to go to if you want to see a shrimp flipped in the chef's hat. That's okay though, so long as the food is good. I visited at noon on a random weekday and it was a pretty busy little shop, with almost no free tables, but they did get me all ordered up and seated in just a few seconds. I tried their Teriyaki steak lunch ($6.99), which comes with the following choices as sides: steamed or fried rice (I got fried), Miso soup with tofu (which I got), or Maki Roll or Cheese tempura First, the positives. The teriyaki steak was super tender, not chewy at all (medium well cook) and had decent flavor. I also enjoyed the Miso soup (more the tofu and green leafy veggies in the miso). I also really liked how they packed my food in a to go box for me because they thought I looked like I was in a hurry (I wasn't, but kudos for the customer service!) Sadly, the rice was pretty uninspiring and flavorless I have to say, as were the cooked veggies, which were kinda limp, but at 7 bucks, I wont complain so much about the deal. Located on the footprint of Sugarloaf mills, Yami Japan is in a little restaurant strip next to Jersey Mike's and Kingston 30. While you'd think parking might be limitless, the actual lot in the area of this strip can and will fill up fast, so you just may have to park on the mall parking lot and walk your way back. No big deal though. Customer service was accommodating, friendly and fast, along with some hits, and a few misses at under $10. Works for me! read more

I get the distancing requirements but I have gotten takeout and eaten in here for years. For half the cost, I could have gotten this from the bear express drive-thru. I will go back but they need to step up the flavor. read more

I really enjoy coming here right after I shop at the mall (it's behind Sugarloaf Mills) . They have a wide variety of fairly priced sushi that come in huge 6-8 pieces for only around $6 and their hibachi is really tasty as well. The hibachi comes with 4 pieces of sushi, meat, fried or white rice, and vegetables. Service is great and the food is awesome! read more

Ordered something really basic lol "salmon roll". Regularly you would get 6pieces from the roll but this is a bit longer~ you get 8pieces. Taste is as expected, not bad but not extremely good. Sesame inside the roll was a good surprise. Staffs are really nice~ service is fast (not sure if it'll be the same if I come in a different time). Place is a bit small but really clean. Would definitely come back for a quick bite or a cheap lunch. read more

Yami Japan - Japanese Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

I just ate here today for lunch with my boyfriend. It wasn't packed for lunch. I wanted to try it since we always pass it on our way to Discover Mills. It is located at one of the entrances to Discover Mills. We ordered an appetizer and off of their lunch section of their menu (Lunch Special Rolls). The lunch special is 7.99 for 2 rolls (or 1 roll and 4 nigiri) and either soup or salad. The Appetizer: Gyoza (8) which are dumplings. You have a choice of either steamed or pan fried. We chose pan fried. It was yummy and crisp on the outside. It came with soy sauce. My boyfriend ordered spicy salmon roll and the crunchy cucumber & avocado roll. I ordered the crunchy California roll and the crunchy shrimp roll. We both chose miso and it tasted like the average miso soup you have at other restaurants. However, I liked the fact that the miso soup here has chunks of tofu and lots of kelp. The sushi rolls were "a-ok". Not the best; however, it's not the worst. It was just average. This is a great place to eat lunch at if you are in the area and is craving sushi at a great deal. read more

If you think you've already tried the best hibachi in your life, you're wrong. You haven't until you've tried Yami Japan. It was cooked to perfection. The food is both tender and perfectly moist. Makes me wanna scream. The vegetables - saucy. The meat - succulent. The sauce - yum. I ordered one serving and got two. Possibly the greatest restaurant to exist. read more
