The 50 best reward from 2013-2018, something like that. For 80€ for 3 we had an amazing experience , lunching on the floor for our baby to walk around , and more than enough food, with lots of flavour. To have such quality in Belgium would cost us much much more. So thank you for this amazing cuisine! ( The chef is half Japanese)

The place is easily reachable and has good parking space. The ambience is cool. They do offer private rooms for dining as well. The food items in the menu are not the usual but authentic Japanese cuisine. The items are high priced but worth a try. The pork belly dish was soo good. The portion sizes are alright. The waiters were very helpful in navigating us through the menu and helping us choose dishes. Also the menu had a variety of dishes to choose from. The value for money with the services offered was good!

Was given the understanding that this is the best Japanese restaurant in Colombo; well, don't quite think so. Restaurant is located along Galle Face Terrance, a dead end small alley between Cinnamon Grand and Taj Samudra along Galle Main road. The place is poorly lighted at night but since this is the only odd looking place, one would not miss it. Interior space is reasonable but furnishing is just average. Menu is terrible; there is few pictures and if one is not familiar with Japanese food, one will not be able to decipher what food to order. There is a small BBQ yakiniku at the side of main entrance but varieties/choices are limited. Menu food option, main course, noodles and dessert, is quite standard and taste is average (some are quite salty); nothing unique. Japanese tea come in a small pot and not unlimited supply per head. Drinks and food are very pricy (especially wagyu beef!) vs quality and taste. Japanese alcohol is serves here as well, again limited choices and expensive. Service is fast and acceptable. Not unless one is desperate for japanese food, this place should be in the bottom of the list.

The pinnacle of Japanese restaurants in Sri Lanka. Nihonbashi offers the best in ambience, selection and service. The food we tried was authentic and excellent. Surprisingly the sushi etc was not that much more expensive than any other Japanese restaurant. If you're interested in fine dining, there are quite a few more expensive dishes on the menu as well. Overall a wonderful experience.

Must say, Nihonbashi is a total gem! The staff really made us feel special, and the vibe was so cozy and welcoming. And that view? Stunning! It's the perfect backdrop for the amazing food. I tried the Salmon Sashimi and Tuna Bone - both were out of this world! If you want a taste of authentic Japanese cuisine, this place is a must-visit and will be your go-to spot forever!

True genuinely loveable Japanese craftsmanship. Extensive menu initially a little daunting to grasp in its full span. However, as understated the location may be, as over-delivering the flavours and meticulosity of the presentation are. Such an address preceding the Ministry of Crab take-off! Service is both approachable and attentive. Mr Gayan and his team shine as hospitaliers at heart!!

A high end japanese restaurant. Good variety of food. Lots of seating. Went on a Saturday night but the place wasn't filled. Parking is easy too. The private room is good. Staff are quick and we'll knowledgeable.

One of the best japanese restaurants in colombo!!!! The staff was so helpful and always come and check on us and ask if there’s anything we want!!! One staff member came and described us about the items on menu like how to eat or drink them , what are the ingredients it contain, what are the health benefits of it etc!! And good news is that they git 50% discount on weekdays from 6-8 at yakitori garden these days!!!!! And we tried salmon and tuna sashimi for the first time thanks to that staff member!! It was hell of an flavor elevator !!! Hats off guys!!!
