Sushi Boats To Ramen Bowls: Check Out The Best Japanese Restaurants In Hyderabad

Possibly the first name that pops into our heads when it comes to Japanese cuisine, Hashi is a ride-or-die spot for several Japanese lovers in town and with good reason. The vibe emulates a typical Japanese sushi spot, and has outdoor and indoor seating. Take a spot at the live sushi counters to join in on the fun and maybe learn a sushi rolling trick or two. This Japanese restaurant in Hyderabad is great for dates as well. Aside from the sushi rolls which they'repopular for, you could also try the Pad Thai and signature cocktails.

Zega at The Sheraton is one fool-proof spot in town that rarely disappoints. They have a pan-Asian menu with an emphasis on Japanese cuisine. While you can come here on a leisurely weekend, they also have quick business lunches during the week, if you'd like to step in with your team. FYI, their dim sums are to die for!

Looking for a quaint spot to have dinner with your family? Head straight to Rika at Park Hyatt. The spot serves excellent pan-Asian food, and we love their sushi the most.

Head to Chubby Cho for a fuss-free dining experience that you can reserve for weekends, or step in for a quick meal during weekdays too.

Another thing we like is that the staff is friendly and service is quick.

When cherry blossoms await to welcome you, it’s a Japanese restaurant, alright! Pink and pleasant, Sakura serves the authentic Japanese cuisine you’re looking for like sashimi, sushi platters, and sticky rice with gravies. The ambience is as pretty as the delicious menu with oriental-style wall painting, couches with sakura pattern and lights that mimic paper lanterns. If ambience does the work but you want more, treat yourself to Korean, Thai and Chinese dishes, too. But if we’re recommending, we’re calling for Salmon Nigiri, Chicken Katsu Uramaki and Kara Miso Ramen.

Easily the most near-to-authentic Japanese restaurant in Hyderabad, you’ll have to leave your desi tastebuds out for a dining experience in Osaka. They’ve got some interesting options on the menu like Crispy Shitakii Mushroom, Wasabi and Edamame Dumplings, and Wasabi infused Tekka Maki (yellowfin tuna). These are going to be new flavours and new textures and yes, it’s going to be umami for the most part. For something familiar, get the Chicken Karage (crispy fried chicken). The ambience? Clean and minimal, just how the Japanese like it.

If you’re on a budget, don’t kill your ramen cravings. Instead, head to Oi Ramen for fiery ramen bowls. The place is anime coded with posters decking the walls and Naruto fans, you’ll find plenty of references around you. Two vegetarian and two chicken, the ramen bowls come with lots of toppings, so feel free to let them know of your preferences. To make it a big meal, get the momos and wash off the spice with mojitos.

Another budget eatery for Japanese delicacies, Saiko Sushi House is a hole in the wall that’s India’s first fusion sushi chain. What does that mean? Think sushi with salsa. Yup! The sushi section is full of such whacky combinations that surprisingly taste good. Now obviously, it’s not authentically Japanese but they do have some ramen and sushi that passes the cut. For fusion, try Salsa Salmon Sushi and Hyderabadi-style Fort Roll. For good ramen, try Kyoto-style Chicken Ramen and for a vegan option, get the Tofu Poke Bowl.

Another anime-inspired ramen stop is Ichiraku in Kondapur. Think of this as Indianised Japanese cuisine as you’ll spot chicken ramen, veg ramen, fries and rolls with the spices we’re used to. That said, the portion sizes are filling and sometimes a bit much too. The ramen bowls come with egg and tofu toppings and you can show-off your chopstick skills with egg rolls and momos. The place is tightly packed with seating so find that comfortable corner and sit with your favourite character behind your back. Oh, before we forget to mention, spending around INR 500 will get you a two course meal here!

Miso Mojo is a yellow shack near IDL lake which is not hard to find, thanks to the crowd of foodies around it. Come here for chicken, seafood and veg ramen, ranging from umami to spicy flavours. One bowl will fill you up for 3-4 hours and it’s super pocket-friendly. Now, the flavours are not authentic Japanese but they pack a punch. You can expand your plate with sandwiches, fries and corn dogs. For those who enjoy the vibe of street food, this is one of the few Japanese shacks in Hyderabad.

Demon Slayer fans, assemble! This Kimetsu No Yaiba-themed cafe should be on your list. To satisfy your Japanese food cravings, you’ll love the sushi and ramen here. For vegetarians, one plate of Kimpap (zucchini, carrot and cucumber) will feel refreshing and light on the palate. For those looking for seafood, the California Roll with crab stick will be your favourite. For a full meal, go for the ramen and feel free to customise the toppings and spice levels. While you wait, you can kill time by playing some games (Jenga, UNO and lots more) but that said, we look around the wall and click aesthetic pics for the Gram with the Demon Slayer.
