We tried Japon for the first time today and are completely blown away. The food was amazing. We ordered the takoyaki and karaage for starters. They were both perfectly cooked. My fiancé raved about the karaage literally the whole way home as the best hes ever tried. It has the best breading for the perfect crunch. The takoyaki was also amazing and no too big so the middle was actually cooked all the way through. Finally, we both tried the ramen. Let me tell you, we were not prepared for that portion size (massive). That ramen was the closest thing to authentic ramen that we have been able to find in this town. Safe to say, we will definitely be back and cant wait to try other items on the menu!!!
Date Night Our first time at the new Japon Bistro in Williamsburg! We were a bit later. There were still several tables of diners and we were seated right away. My husband started with Chicken Gyoza and Karaage. Loved the cook on the dumplings. He mentioned how the Karaage is made with dark meat which was a first for him. He didn't mind but it was a little chewier and different than others he's had. I got the Crab Rangoons. Filling was good, could've been crispier but worth a try. He got the Pork Katsu Curry Bowl for his main. Liked every component but nothing really blew him away. I ordered the Veggie Tempura Bowl. So...my least favorite tempura veg (personally) is the sweet potato. Unfortunately for me outta 15 pieces of veg, 13 were sweet potato. I was expecting more of an assortment. Loved the 2 pieces of squash by the way. My kids ended up eating the majority as leftovers. Both meals were served with Miso Soup and Salad. Here's the big surprise for me... I don't do soup. I have Never found a Miso Soup I could even remotely tolerate. I liked this one! With all of the Fried items I ordered it was a Great palate cleanser! Lastly I had to try the Shrimp Tempura Roll. This was Excellent!!! Honestly maybe the best I've had in town. I really wish they had more Veggie Rolls on the menu with how well done this one was! Service from Andreas was very attentive. This place has a Fantastic Lunch Special with lots of different Bento Boxes priced at $12-$14 apiece!!! Includes a Ton of food. One of the Best Deals around.

My boyfriend and I love coming here and have not had a bad dish yet! The atmosphere is quiet and laidback. The service is always kind and pretty quick. Highly recommend trying if you live in the Lincoln area and enjoy Japanese cuisine. Gluten free friendly too! ☺️ Please check them out and show our small businesses some love.
FINALLY, a good (and reasonably priced) ramen place in Lincoln!! 😩🙏🏼 I usually depend on my intermittent trips to Omaha for flavorful, authentic ramen, but I was pleasantly surprised to come across this quaint hole in the wall on my way home from work. Unfortunately, I was too excited to eat and forgot to take a before picture, so my image doesn’t do the initial presentation much justice, but as you can tell, I do very much look forward to ordering their Spicy Tan Tan again. The Tokyo roll I ordered was also nice, though, after seeing their fresh fish selection, I’m inclined to try their nigiri and sashimi options next time. Edward and Andrew were very pleasant and I hope more people learn about this absolute gem!
THE FOOD is THE BEST!!!! Best crab rangoons! Beat Gyoza Chicken!!! And best Yako Sabi! ❤️❤️❤️ Their soup has a special place in my head already… I’m coming back for just that soup on a snowy cold day 😍😍😍
