I've been to almost all the Japanese restaurants in Chennai and this one stands out in terms of authenticity, service and hospitality. The service was so good and so quick! I was shocked :) I loved my spicy miso ramen so much! The Sushi was just good and the kaarage was amazing - so light and crispy. The green tea given was so good 😍 Definitely recommend this place!

I normally don't give a 5 star to a place even if i really like it. But this one was exemplary. Right from food to service to ambience everything had a happy soulful vibe. We started with the gyoza, dragon roll ( Sushi) sake nigiri ( Sake nigiri sushi is a traditional Japanese type of nigiri sushi. It consists of hand-pressed sushi rice that's topped with slices of salmon) Aburi magura nigiri (tuna is flamed seared to perfection on hand pressed sushi rice) After the most amazing appetizer we went on to Ramen set miso Tori this set meal comes with a big bowl of ramen, rice, salad and chicken tempura. Chicken teriyaki don is served with salad, tofu soup and a large bowl of sticky rice topped with teriyaki chicken. One of the best Japanese food that i have had in India. The price is not too high and was a perfect meal for a birthday celebration, we left the place so happy and heartfull of gratitude!

Best Japanese restaurant I ever had in Chennai. Perhaps this is the one of the only restaurant that serves authentic Japanese food. The food menu and taste exactly the same like in Japan. Sushi were fresh and can definitely feel that the ingredient they used were imported goods. Worth the money spent.

Nippon Japanese restaurant is an absolutely wonderful place if you are in search of authentic Japanese food and prompt service. It's located bang opposite to SIET college and it's on the first floor of a building. First thing you notice is the seating arrangement. Private Booths, normal seating and the traditional Japanese seating arrangement of sitting on the floor. The tables are well equipped with Soy sauce, chilli flakes and a pleasant surprise: Sachets of Antiseptic wiped. Quite convenient and novel, as I haven't seen this in Chennai before! There's also a calling bell which can alert the servers to attend to you. The servers are quick and as soon as you are sat down, you are served with a hot glass of barley tea! I visited the restaurant on a rainy day, and hence proved to be quite soothing! I'd ordered a serving of 'Belgian Pork filled' Gyoza and Pork Miso Ramen. The prices of the dishes are defo on the higher side, but it is justified due to the scarcity of ingredients required to make Japanese food out here. The Pork Gyoza was fantastic. I haven't had such good pork in ages! You could tell that it was of top quality. The outer shell is a bit crispy and the inside is piping hot. The moment you sink your teeth in, the juices just gush out of the dumpling. The Pork was rich and didn't really need any spice. The dipping sauce given had a bit of acidity which definitely cuts through the richness of the pork and elevates the dish all together. The Miso Ramen was the star of the show. 10/10 dish. Interesting flavours, the fattiness of the pork, umami from the broth and seaweed and spice from the chillies! Well rounded dish. The noodles were silky smooth, had absorbed the broth and was hearty! The pork slices were well cooked, had a bit of fat and complemented the dish. Definitely one of the best things I've had in a long long time! I enjoyed every single drop of the broth and the feeling of warmth that it gives is beautiful. All in all, paid around 1.3k for the food. Absolutely worth it, for the quality. If you really want to know how good the place is, I was the only Indian there. 100% I'd visit again!

Wonderful and delicious food with beautiful presentation. Enjoyed all the dishes immensely. The staff were very friendly and polite.The chicken in the curry was so soft and flavourful. The chicken nanban was also wonderful with the tartar sauce and the vegetables! We also enjoyed the shoyu ramen with the soft boiled egg. Very excited to visit again and try more dishes! Edit: Visited a 2nd time and tried udon with chicken tempura(the broth was so addictive), Japanese fried rice with chicken(fantastic!),chicken teriyaki don(the teriyaki sauce was perfect but the chicken was little hard) which came with miso soup and a grilled chicken salad. Very satisfied with the meal

They serve the best, most authentic sushi in town. Salmon roll is a must try there. Thank you for having us and serving us ♡ ごちそうさまでした Went here for dinner and we reached the restaurant 45 minutes prior to their closing time. They said they'd love to serve us and that we can place our order before the kitchen closes. I'm glad they didn't deny entry unlike some other sushi places would've. The cherry on top is the owner being really sweet and respectful. They also told us they have bento-delivery service.

The ambiance was excellent The hospitality of the people was soooooo good. They clarified our doubt in the menu and suggested dishes. The food was good. It was my first time tasting this cuisine and I would definitely come back.

A very aesthetic and a pleasant place for dining out, be it with friends or family. Food was on point and a swift service. Overall a very comforting experience.

This restaurant is in teynampet. Near SIT college. This restaurant is pure Japanese cuisine restaurant. They don't has swiggy zomato. But they have authentic Japanese food. Many Japanese comes fir lunch and dinner regularly. They have amazing combos of food. And it is very healthy for your health. To start with They give you green tea And they allow some time to order the food. Every table has a buzzer, wet tissues, soy sauce and napkins. This restaurant is very calm, quiet and compose place to go and eat with authentic atmosphere. My Favourite is salmon Don, spicy salmon sushi, and tempura noodles, sashimi, prawns tempura.

I have been here several times and tried different kinds of food. They were all good! This is the place for Sashimi in Chennai for sure. One of my favorite restaurant in Chennai. For Japanese food, this is the place!

Came here for dinner after being recommended by a friend. For food, we ordered shabu-shabu. For meat, I chose beef and pork, and for side dishes, I chose vegetable salad and potato salad. The broth was spicy and medium spicy. The quality of the food was good and the portions were quite generous. The staff were also friendly and kept the interior clean. The only disappointment is that it is a Japanese restaurant, so it would be nice to have Japanese beer as well. They have a wide variety of menus, so I want to visit often to try different foods. Will visit again.

Food was good ... Miso ramen and Sushis ... Not for budget eaters. There's also lunch Bento boxes combos if u would like to try little of different dishes. The ambience of this place and service was quite good. U would definitely get the authentic vibe here! Cheers to Nippon restaurant team!

This is based on a dine-in experience for three in October 2023. We initially wanted to go to Dahlia but they were renovating so we came here and boy was that a great decision. We paid ₹4k-ish for three heavy eaters and left feeling quite full. Their chicken karaage is a ten on ten. Perfectly crispy, thin & flavourful breading and all perfectly bite sized pieces. Pork Katsu and Curry Rice were both really good too. The cabbage salad with onion dressing that they provided with all fried dishes was a great cleanse to the palate. Miso soup was hearty and comes in a small portion but I think it's better consumed in smaller quantities. It has a pungent aroma, be warned that that is something you have to brace through for the taste reward. My friend tried the grilled eggplant with soy and miso glaze, which looked very insta-worthy but texturally and taste wise not something for my unaccustomed palate. I could tell it was good quality miso though, so do with that what you will. None of my dining companions nor I were big sushi or sashimi fans but we tried their cucumber maki which was refreshing. They had a lot of fresh sashimi on their menu and all the Japanese diners when we went were definitely ordering sashimi. They do NOT serve alcohol, so don't go here with a sake craving. Try and ask for traditional style seating and you won't be disappointed. I can't wait to be back.

This place will give you a sense of dining in Japan with proper Japanese ambience , polite staff with good service and authentic Japanese food . Loved the Japanese chicken katsu curry rice which is my absolute favourite . The only issue here and almost every other Japanese restaurant in Chennai is the limited parking space available to self park our valuable self driven cars .

Went on a Saturday. They had ample seating available. Their Chicken Teriyaki Don was amazing. Sticky and hot rice with intense teriyaki flavour. Their Pork Katsu Curry Rice was also great. Crispy Katsu and again their rice was great. Their Karage was also good. The vegetables added a freshness to the otherwise fried forward nature of the dish. Service was good. We really really liked the call button at our table so we can call for the waiters. More restaurants need to adopt this.

Food: Got the shabu shabu and it was good. The soup's flavour is slightly bland but the small dishes are good and the meat is quite nice too. Service: Fast and helpful staff. No complains 👍 Atmosphere: Quiet and clean, just like in Japan. Note: The washroom is SUPER CLEAN.

We got very good authentic tasting Japanese dishes and prices were expected as it is the same in all Japanese restaurants around. But the taste was exceptional.!! Very satisfying. Being a vegetarian, I was really skeptical about visiting this place as most of their menu was non vegetarian, but surprisingly they suggested many vegetarian dishes and all of them were really good. Really recommended and I would definitely go again. Dishes we had: 1. Veg Miso ramen - Perfect non-spicy soup, with lots of vegetables. (10/10) 2. Tomorokoshi kakiage - hot crispy fries with corn (10/10) 3. Tofu age dashi - Tofu with sweet sauce. I did not like the slippery texture of tofu so much so 7/10. And the service was amazing, they served green tea right when we entered and answered any questions related to how to eat each food there very calmly. Overall, a very good experience.
