Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Meanwood

"What: Outdoor dining doesn’t come much more stylish that at Leeds’ Issho which has a stylish decked terrace lined with greenery and full of plush garden furniture. The contemporary izakaya-style menu on offer features everything from sushi and bao buns to meat cooked on the robata grill and is best enjoyed alongside a Japanese-inspired cocktail or two.Where: 3rd Floor Rooftop, Victoria Gate, George Street, LS2 7AU"

"Swapping the top of Trinity for the top of the pristine Victoria Gate, we have Japanese rooftop restaurant Issho. The décor is simple but stylish, making for a beautiful spot to grab some sushi rolls or sip on an ice-cold Asahi. If you’re not a fan of beer, they also offer spirits, or a healthier alternative in green tea!"

"Teppanyaki showcases a quintessentially Japanese style of cooking which revolves around grilling. In fact, the word Teppan means Iron Hot Plate and Yaki means “to grill.” Well known for their welcoming yet sophisticated service, if you’re looking for somewhere with a social atmosphere, you could do worse than Teppanyaki. Perfect for those looking for something a little out-of-the-ordinary, their menu includes all kinds of wonderful dishes."

"I have no idea why because it’s always been there, I love Japanese food and it’s not like it’s out of the way. But for some strange reason, I’m yet to visit. However, I’m including it because they do serve sushi and I promise that I’m going to visit soon, in the name of blog research of course."

"Add a little theatre to your meals out with a trip to Teppanyaki. The Japanese restaurant is preparing your food right in front of your eyes, with chefs juggling, flipping and setting fire to a whole array of seafood and meat."

"One of the first conveyor belt sushi restaurants in the UK, Yo!. Sushi is a must try. They have over 30 different sushi dishes moving along the belt in front of you, so you can take your pick of everything from aromatic duck rolls to their signature Yo!"

"Being able to grab bite-sized Japanese food direct from a conveyor belt zipping past your table just doesn’t get old. The novelty is what makes the Leeds branch of Yo Sushi!. such a great restaurant for children."

"Sushi is tapa styles so you can try several different types of dishes. They frequently change their menu and offer specials for students on Blue Monday. Don’t forget to try their hot sake!"

"Shiitakeya are a small Japanese restaurant on Walmgate that also do takeaway. They have a lunchtime special from Monday-Friday, and otherwise serve dishes like Buta Shogayaki (sliced pork loin in sweet ginger sauce with rice, salad and miso soup on the side) or Chicken Teryaki Don (pan fried chicken glazed in soy sauce, mirin and sugar rice bowl with salad and miso soup on the side)."

"Chino Latino is known to be one of the best Japanese restaurants in Leeds. They were awarded the Pan-Asian Leeds City Square Restaurant of the year. It’s near the Leeds station and is clean."

"Let’s start with my favourite and, in my opinion, the best sushi in Leeds. The day that I found out that a bottomless, all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant was opening in Leeds, was one of the best days of my life. The price varies depending on when you go, ranging from £19.95 for a weekday lunchtime to £34.95 for a weekend evening."

"Blue Sakura redefines the concept of all-you-can-eat with a system that sees dishes made to order, from hand rolls to teriyaki, ordered in 'rounds' from the tablet on their tables. There's sushi, soup, tempura, grilled dishes, Teppanyaki dishes and Korean food - and all of it is absolutely mouthwatering."

"Leeds' most interesting museum was originally built in 1996 to house armour and weapons from the Tower of London, but subsequently expanded to cover 3000 years of combat and self-defence, becoming home to the national collections. The exhibits are as varied as they are fascinating, covering subjects such as jousting, fencing and Indian elephant armour. To get here, walk east along the river from Centenary Footbridge (approx 10 minutes), or take the free boat from Granary Wharf outside Leeds train station's southern entrance."

"The Station House Garforth is a true taste of traditional Italian!. With southern Italian inspired dishes based on secret family recipes its not one to be missed!. They are offering pizza and pasta for takeaway and are open Monday -Tuesday:5pm-8pm and Wednesday to Saturday 12pm-8pm, so be sure to check out their great menu!"

"It’s a straight-forward kebab shop, with a traditional menu. You can choose from doner, chicken, seekh and lamb shish – they’ll stuff it in a pitta or pile it on chips before sprinkling it with salad and smothering it in sauce. But if that isn’t your bag, you can also tuck into a menu of burgers, pizza and chicken."
