Best Japanese Restaurants in Auburn

Willy's is our favorite local restaurant. We love everything about it; the food, atmosphere, drinks and very friendly staff especially JD and Todd. Best steak tips I've ever had and my husband's favorite filet mignon are our go to meals. They also serve fabulous sushi and seafood so there is something for everyone. It might not be a place you would go to on a regular basis, but it's certainly a place to go for a special occasion.

Excellent evening with exceptional service. The food was delicious and the staff most courteous.

Truly a five star dining experience… Chashu it’s on all fronts with an awesome vibe, plentiful and attentive staff, and killer food. I’ve been a dozen times and had a great experience, but this most recent time we had a tokurri of their “Demon Slayer” sake, and they brought over the assortment of traditional ochoko cups to pick from. We ordered one of my favorites, the chicken karaage for the table. It’s a small plate so if you’ve got hungry folks, I recommend getting two (good for 2 people to share). For dinner, I got the maze brothless Ramen, it was very tasty possibly a bit too garlic, but overall very good. My GF always gets the moyashi, I’d highly recommend this as I think it’s probably the best Ramen on the menu in a traditional sense. We skipped dessert this time, but we did get drinks … I got the paper crane and it was fantastic… great unique whiskey cocktail, not too sweet and very tasty and not overwhelmingly alcohol(y) for the uninitiated. I will make a note and say that I have had their dessert before, and it is high-quality in presentation and flavor and typically big enough to share for two. Overall, it’s a great night out with friends with tables that could be pushed together to seat 12, of have a cozy time with 2. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience as always! The crispy rice spicy tuna special app is a must try.

Our main server was most courteous and attentive. Food was well prepared; satay was tender and flavorful. Tuna tartare, could be spicier per our taste, however pleasant. Sushi/ sashimi were fresh. Overall happy diners .
