Best Japanese Restaurants in Marlborough

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.

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!

Nothing special, good atmosphere good service good price for the amount of food

It's a fun place with delicious food but also very loud - great if you like a high energy environment!

Sushi was prepared well, but the plating was spectacular! Some sushi had the tell-tale sign of being pre-prepared (chilled fish, cold, dry rice), but other maki was fresh and we were able to have the chef make a substitution in the preparation without any issues. Most of the menu items are made with crème cheese, which is unusual to say the least. Our only real problem with this restaurant is the noise - we were there mid afternoon and the place was only 1/2 full, yet my iPhone kept on alerting me to noise levels above 110 decibels. That kind of noise makes it hard to put this place on our “must return” list of restaurants. That and the fact that the server conveniently tapped the 20% gratuity tab on the screen when we went to pay our bill. We left the additional 20% , but really wish it had been our choice because there was a definite communication problem with our server who spoke better Portuguese than English
