Japon Bistro

Disappointing takeout experience I ordered a California roll, Scorpion roll, and Volcano roll—two of which were advertised as having crab meat salad. None of them included any crab salad. I called to clarify and was casually told, “Oh, that’s probably wrong.” For a $99 order, I expected far better. The sushi was not as described, and the tempura components were charred. Overall, the food was subpar and misleading. I’d strongly advise against takeout from this place.

IT’S SO GOOD! I got to try Japon Bistro this afternoon with some family and wow just wow. The menu is huge and the vegetarian options are clearly labeled and delicious. Our waiter was so incredibly kind and the food was so fresh. Such a great addition to Lincoln!

So tasty! So many unusual options to choose from! The server was so friendly and attentive without being smothering. The food was excellent, with one caveat: we both found the miso soup to be so mild as to be almost bland although the tofu and seaweed in it was fresh. I had the crispy cod bento box which came with so many tasty items! My friend had the gluten free ramen with pork and pronounced it excellent. They even carefully omitted the egg from the ramen because it is marinated in soy sauce and they were being aware of her gluten free needs. Clean, casual, and a lovely new addition to Lincoln.

Drove by and decided to stop in for a lunch takeout. Their lunch menu was extremely reasonably priced. I got the chicken katsu bento set and it came with soup, salad, fried rice, an egg roll, and two gyozas...in addition to the chicken katsu. 😱 Everything tasted delicious and was thoughtfully packed. I love all the sauces that they provided, and can't wait to return to try their ramen and sushi. 🍱 🍜 🍣

Got the Nigiri Lunch special and this was hands down the best fish I have had in Lincoln. Everything was incredibly fresh, the yellow tail was light and buttery tasting. This is exactly the type of place I have been looking for in Lincoln and can't wait to go back! (My android camera does not do it justice)

This is an exciting new addition to the Lincoln restaurant scene! We ordered the tempura ramen, spicy tantan ramen, and an eel avocado roll. The ramen noodles were nice and bouncy and the ramen eggs were perfectly jammy. The real standout was the sushi. The eel tasted fresh and the avocado was perfectly ripe.

Small little sushi and ramen joint. Incredibly fast and polite service. Rangoons were decent, a lot of wonton that was just fried with minimal filling. Both sushi rolls were delicious and fresh!

Some of the best ramen in Lincoln! Everything was delicious and so fresh. The staff was incredibly friendly. I can't recommend this place enough!

Service : 10/10 Menu: 10/10 Food was so good, and full of flavor. The value was great, the amount of food you get for what you pay for is great. I had a hard time deciding what to get because everything sounded so good. We will definitely be back

Tucked on a corner with entrance facing the parking lot This place is newly opened- barely two months old. Small little restaurant that mirrors a simple Japanese restaurant. The menu for me is a little confusing. It basically is a combination restaurant. There was a variety of Japanese, Chinese and even Korean elements to it. There is a variety of seating available- at the bar, booths, round tables, rectangular tables for bigger groups and small tables for a party of two. We were the only people there on Sunday. I needed comfort food. We ordered spring rolls for appetisers. Hubby ordered tempura and i ordered tartan noodles. Spring rolls were nice and crispy- tasted like they were bought frozen and fried in the restaurant. The insides were a little mushy. They were laid on a bed of cabbage- the shreds on the side look a little black. They should probably have been more careful with picking of the lettuce shreds. Japanese tantan ramen is usually in spicy broth. Mine came more like a Chinese style dried noodles. I'm not complaining - felt like noodles my mom used to make. It helped with homesickness. I do want to point out one point though- the chicken in the noodles is probably from the chicken broth that was made. And its basically gotten all the flavour into the soup. The accompanying chicken soup with my tantan noodles were actually good. But would be better if the oil was removed before serving. The layer of oil on the soup was a little off-putting but the flavour of the underlying soup was good. Tempura itself ( the vegetables) were delicious. The shrimp was a little over done but overall tasty. Honestly, it would probably do them good to reduce the menu. Too much stuff too confusing. I would come back for stuff that reminds me of home though. I'm not trying to be critical. This place has potential. I have to add our server's service was really good. Attentive and polite! Good job! Good luck!

I wanted to try something new and stumbled upon this place. The atmosphere isn't fancy, but the food was good, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We tried the seafood ramen, black pepper tuna tataki, yellowtail jalapeño, and superior sashimi. All of it was fresh, the portions were hearty, and the prices were reasonable. There are many other things on the menu that we would like to try, so we will be back.
