Service is always quick, and food quality is consistent. The teriyaki is delicious, as well as their hibachi. I have finally ordered from Japanica for the first time in over a year since going strictly gluten-free. I ordered pickup over the phone and they were very helpful in figuring out what could be made gluten-free or not, they also give gluten-free soy sauce.

The best hibachi I have ever had. Always consistent, fresh, perfect texture and taste, and a nice serving. The chefs here are friendly, entertaining, and very talented. Their yum yum sauce is amazing. I have tried many hibachi restaurants and this one takes the stake always. I recommend to everyone! They are a bit busy, even during the week, so reservations are always a must for us. Each hibachi table sits 8-9 people per side.

One of the first Japanese places in Milwaukee area. The Hibachi Tables are always fun if you have a birthday or special occasion. The food is top notch. I always think I want something different but can't help getting Hibachi as it is so awesome. You do not have to sit at the Hibachi tables to have Hibachi either, you can order it off the menu. They have all sorts of items. They even have nice cocktails for after work gatherings with friends. Their appetizers are nice and reasonably priced too!

I like to do try a new restaurant each week and I was craving calamari so I stopped by for lunch. To my surprise for a strip mall location it was spacious with hibachi tables, tables, booths, sushi bar and semi private room in the front. I was promptly seated with a menu and yes fried calamari is on the menu and I would have some and a random roll of some sort. The dynamite roll sounded good with eel, salmon, crab with spicy powder. Me lunch came quickly and looked good. The fried calamari was big breaded rings with a crunchy coating and satisfied my craving with that sweet/creamy seafood flavor. The dynamite roll was pretty good with a nice seafood flavors and the nice textures of the soft raw seafood with the denser sticky rice. I never really use any dipping sauces or soy sauce because I want the natural flavors of my food to shine so I can't tell you if the dipping sauce was any good or not. I used to rarely eat sushi and not because I don't like it but my growing love for calamari is finding me eating more sushi which is not a bad thing. I have no complaints at all because my service and lunch was very good.

I went to Japanica about a month ago with my friend. They followed all safety protocols in terms of COVID. The service was super friendly and the sushi was very good. I'd definitely go back!
