Japanese Restaurants in Canton

The staff at Blush Kennesaw love talking clothes with their customers. Whether it's face-to-face in their cozy shop, or through their Facebook page, they leap at the chance to share the latest dresses and tops with other fashionistas. And with an ever-changing stock of colorful sundresses, trendy knit tops, comfortable shorts, and glimmering accessories, coupled with a penchant for 1920s sports trivia, they always have something exciting to chat about.

Kuroshio Sushi Bar and Grille slices the finest fresh fish in a welcoming atmosphere, offering a cornucopian menu of sushi, sashimi, and Japanese entrees. Ably warm taste buds with an appetizer of soft-shell crab, soy marinated and tempura-fried ($7) before moving on to flavorful main-course dishes. Sample bites of the house specialty tuna ahi poki maki, a marinated Hawaiian-style roll ($6), or eschew rice with thinly sliced cuts of salmon poki sashimi ($18 for 10 pieces). Lovers of flame-kissed fare may prefer a peppery plate of spicy lemongrass chicken orbited by savory satellites of miso soup, salad, and steamed rice ($12). Amplifying a festive ambiance, Kuroshio hosts events including sake tastings organized by a certified sake master and live jazz performances to keep growling ears well-fed.

At Sapporo Hibachi & Sushi, chefs flip frying meats in theatrical conflagrations and swaddle delicate fish in artful arrays. The hibachi menu showcases entrees such as filet mignon ($20.95), mahi-mahi ($18.95), and shrimp ($18.95), which dances atop tabletop grills, leaping between deft blades and into the nearest unsuspecting mouth. From the sushi menu, yellow tail lounges atop a rice pedestal ($4.95), while the Double Dragon specialty roll features fresh fish squeezed with the delicacy of a vice grip made of spun sugar ($8.95). Boasting a grill master with 25 years of experience and a sashimi-slicing sage with 35 years of experience, Sapporo Hibachi & Sushi arms chopsticks with flavors powerful enough to ignite the trailing wicks of fortune-cookie fireworks.

Pacific Spice’s friendly staff members guide patrons through a multicultural menu, sending diners hurtling mouthfirst through the varying cuisines of Japan, China, and Thailand. Groups of four or six searching for a dinner that's more entertaining than a kleptomaniac with a hole in his pocket can sample the theatrical steaming hibachi dinner. Tableside experiences begin with a round of shrimp appetizers and salads. Single-protein entrees such as salmon fillet offer concentrated flavor, and combination platters of filet mignon, shrimp, scallop, and lobster tail hit all of the different taste receptors—sweet, salty, meaty, and lobster. All entrees stick triple-axel landings onto waiting plates to the delight of hibachi vegetables, steamed or fried rice, and an array of ecstatic dipping sauces.
