13 Best Japanese Restaurants in Lakewood

“Delicious food and great service. It is order first and pay. Then sit down and eat style. But it was definitely worth it. I ordered the tofu hibachi and I was so surprised at how flavorful it was. Usually they don’t (as in some places I go to) don’t season the vegetables and the tofu. But the tofu was well seasoned!. Fried rice was delicious. My friend got one of the Poké bowls. And she said it was really good too.“

“Fresh. Yummy. GF/DF options make my stomach happy. Thank you.“

“What an amazing sushi experience!

This was our first visit here and I'm sad that we are just now discovering this place! We absolutely love sushi, but always seem to crave it on Mondays when our usual sushi spots are closed. We stumbled upon this place online and the restaurant looked nice and food looked yummy! I'm happy we gave it a try, this is now one of our favorites!

Restaurant is very clean, and laid out nicely! You have options to sit at tables, tables with booths, and also up at the sushi bar. The staff was very friendly and attentive, we were sat right away! It was refreshing that it wasn't too busy either!

Food was AMAZING! They unfortunately don't have All You Can Eat options, but it didn't matter to us since it was our first time here. We ordered the Hako sushi roll, Crazy Salmon Roll, Playboy Roll, and the Red Dragon Roll along with some of the nigiri. We also tried the Pork Gyoza. Everything was awesome! The Crazy Salmon Roll is on the spicy side, so be prepared! It was really good though! For dessert, we tried the Tiramisu. It was good, but next time I'll get the Mochi ice cream instead.

The staff was very attentive and friendly! The bathrooms were also very clean (yes, I pay attention to the bathrooms because dirty bathrooms usually means other areas are dirty too).

Everything about this sushi restaurant was great! We are very happy we found this place, we love sushi and I highly recommend coming here if you're a fan of great sushi restaurants!“

“I think that every place should be reviewed, from the worst to the best to the just okay.

TLDR: This place is... pretty good!

I really enjoyed the food, and the service was very quick. The actual restaurant was a bit mediocre, but I can't provide many details on that since I ordered takeout.

I saw one review saying they had an issue with ordering out using Menufy, and I believe that's been resolved as I had no issues!

The service was quick, and I received my order within 15 minutes of me ordering. Though I did order at 9:30 at night so that probably had something to do with the quickness.

The inside of the restaurant wasn't anything to write home about. A good 9ish kinda big tables with chairs placed around an empty main room. Little privacy and I can't speak to the cleanliness sadly, which I know some people mentioned wasn't the best.

I ordered the Chicken Scewers (first and second pic) and the Chicken with Mixed Veggies (third pic) dinner combo with Fried Rice (fourth pic).

The Chicken Scewers were $8.99 for four of them, which I thought was a bit pricy until I got them. Very big pieces of chicken and very juicy. The skin was a bit burnt, but it was mostly at the ends. I was worried about the chicken itself being cooked alright since I've seen some reviews about food poisoning, but the chicken was cooked fully! Very good otherwise, 8/10.

The Chicken and Mixed Veggies (dinner special) was $13.99 with an added surcharge of $2.00 for the fried rice. This sounded about right and what I'd usually pay for at a typical East Aian restaurant.

The chicken was more thinly cut and was also very good and juicy. The chicken got cold and a bit quickly, but I was fine with that. The veggies we *very* mixed as well. From broccoli to bell peppers, there was everything. I think there were red and green bell peppers, mini corn, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and cucumber. 9/10

The Fried Rice was...fine? I don't usually get fried rice as I'm not a huge fan of rice in general, but it tasted more or less fine. It's a bit dry and stale, and I saw some people say that it was Mexican fried rice? I think it may be after looking at some pictures online. 6/10

There was also a Convenience Fee of $1.50 and a Tax of $1.77. In total, without tip, my order was $26.25. Considering I'll definitely have leftovers with how big the portions were, I'm satisfied with that.“
