It is probably not a very good idea to be too trusting in reviews as many people are wont to do. It is good to stay away from reviews sometimes for it may cloud your overall judgment of a place based on the myriad opinions of others. A clean slate start as the case may be regarding your judgments and opinions are called for so you can be more objective in your overall approach.

A very first criteria, which others may say as being a bit racist, that you should use is related to both ownership and operation of the restaurant in question. Both owner and key operating people, particularly the chef, must be of Japanese descent or even nationality. This will ensure that the ones giving the service as regards this particular cuisine are of the people that actually invented it in the beginning.

A way to see if the restaurant is good and if it is the real deal is to look at its patrons. Japanese people must patronize it also and enjoy the food. Definitely the best judge of a Japanese restaurant will be the the people of the country themselves. Thus if you see a lot of people from Japan being customers then you know you may have hit a gold mine in terms of your culinary quest.

A good indication of authenticity is if they make their own ingredients or not. Traditional Japanese food houses will make their ingredients, whether it be wasabi or soba noodles, that they serve to their customers. They do this to give their own distinct mark to their products I terms of taste and such. Another indication is their use of only the freshest ingredients, especially when it comes to fish and seafood for their sashimi and sushi dishes.

What is also important is the courteous and gracious nature of their staff, whether it be waiters or cooking personnel. This is a distinct characteristic of people from Japan and it will add to your culinary experience. Greetings are usually given to customers when they enter and also a gesture of thanks is given when they leave. It is also a good idea to look at their menu, and make sure nothing Western exists like hamburgers for example.

Clean interiors and hygienic surroundings are also key to authenticity, as these people are also known for their cleanliness and habits. Definitely if the establishment is owned by a true blue person from Japan, this will be reflected on how the place is kept and maintained.

Many say that in order for Japanese food to be authentic, the prices must be high or quite exorbitant. This is of course a misconception as there are many small genuine restaurants out there that do give great food at affordable prices, it is just a matter of looking for one and finding one.
