5 Best Japanese Restaurants in Delhi (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

Japanese restaurants in Delhi split sharply by setting: five-star hotel restaurants charging premium prices for omakase and imported ingredients, and standalone spots in Connaught Place and Khan Market doing a more accessible pan-Asian version of the cuisine. The restaurants on this page have logged over 12,000 Google reviews between them, and every one sits at 4.4 stars or better, so what actually separates them is price point and how strictly Japanese the kitchen stays.

Short answer: Megu at The Leela Palace leads Delhi's Japanese restaurants at 4.7 stars across 4,890 reviews, a fine-dining room recognized in Asia's 50 Best Restaurants. Wasabi by Morimoto and Kunga Cafe and Restaurant both post the highest ratings on the page at 4.8. Expect to spend anywhere from around ₹400 for a casual meal to ₹2,000 or more per person at the fine-dining end, based on reviewer price tags.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the restaurant’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Delhi Japanese restaurants. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from thousands of reviewers carries more weight than a 4.9 from a couple hundred. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these Japanese restaurants?

We started from Japanese restaurants in Delhi with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which restaurant is best for vegetarian Japanese food?

Wasabi by Morimoto stands out for a genuinely deep vegetarian Japanese menu, a rarity for the category in Delhi. Yum Yum Cha also offers a large vegetarian selection across its pan-Asian menu.

Is there a budget-friendly option for Japanese food in Delhi?

Kunga Cafe and Restaurant in Majnu-ka-tilla is the most affordable option on this page, serving casual sushi alongside other pan-Asian dishes.

The bottom line

Megu is the safe default for a special-occasion Japanese meal in Delhi, with the deepest track record and a genuine omakase experience. If you’re after something more casual and budget-friendly, Kunga Cafe or Mount Fuji cover that end well. Book ahead for the hotel restaurants either way.
