12 Best Japanese Restaurants near Atlantic City

“Food was fresh and tasted excellent. waitress was very nice.“

“The services and food are exceptional. Except! to my opinion the DJ played the music in a restaurant is like he DJ in a night club I think is not suitable, a classy 4 stars restaurant should have more classy atmosphere than a night club atmosphere. Also please bring back the seaweed salad!!!“

“From now on, this is my must go to in AC! I love high quality sushi and this hit the mark! The fish was tender, not a single piece of fat like you see in cheaper places, amazing presentation, delicious sauces. We loved that everything was small plates and we could try a lot of stuff. My wife doesn't eat seaweed and they were able to replace it with soy paper in rolls. Our drinks were delicious and the waitress was very lovely and helpful and made some fantastic recommendations! All around a fantastic experience!“

“We began with cocktails, and they set the tone immediately. The Goose Martini was crisp and perfectly balanced, while both the Piña Martinis were smooth, refreshing, and not overly sweet. The Espresso Martini at the end was rich, well-crafted, and an ideal finish to the meal.

For food, every dish stood out. The Miso Soup with Tofu was comforting yet refined, with deep umami flavor. The Yellowtail Jalapeño was flawless — incredibly fresh, delicate, and perfectly accented by the jalapeño and citrus. The Baby Corn was a surprising highlight, packed with flavor and cooked beautifully.

The Salmon with Spicy Miso was outstanding — tender, buttery, and bursting with flavor. The Lobster Amazu was light yet indulgent, and the Black Cod with Lettuce Cups was everything you expect from Nobu: silky, savory, and perfectly balanced.

The Beef Toban Yaki was exceptional — rich, tender, and deeply flavorful, easily one of the standout dishes of the night. The Butter Milk Donuts were a fantastic dessert option, warm and comforting without being too heavy.

We also had the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice and Shrimp Tempura Crispy Rice, both of which were executed perfectly — crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor.

Service was attentive and professional, pacing was excellent, and every dish came out exactly as it should. This was an unforgettable dining experience and well worth it. Nobu Atlantic City continues to set the standard for upscale dining. Highly recommend.“

“I went on a weekend trip to the shore and needed to go to Walmart to grab a few things. I decided to get some sushi from the nearest location and was met with one of the best experiences I’ve had at a sushi restaurant.

The service itself was quick, taking only 5~ minutes to complete my entire order. The food was fresh, generously portioned, and it only cost us $20 for two rolls, an appetizer, salad and soup. The meal ended up being so good that I drove 25 minutes that same day to taste it again. All the employees had a big smile on their faces when we walked back in, and I left with a 10% coupon if we decided to go again.

Fantastic sushi, rapid service, hard to beat prices, and a bunch of welcoming smiles. Next time I visit Jersey, this will be my first stop.“

“Had dinner here and enjoyed the meal! The maki sushi entree was good and the veggie tempura was crisp and light. The mango avocado salad had a beautiful presentation as well as being delicious (wish I had a picture).

Dessert was amazing. I would recommend the yuzu cheese cake and mango crepe cake - both fresh and delicious.“

“Had a great time. Food was amazing. We sat at a habatchi table so the food was cooked in front of us. But there was also tables were you can sit on your knees on pillows. The only thing i didnt know was they charge you for a refill on your drink everytime you get one. They dont tell you. Luckly i only got 1 refil.“

“Fresh, fast sushi. Ichiban isn't a hotspot to go out to eat, but is perfect for takeout. Their sushi is always fresh and they have fun special rolls as well as excellent classics like yellowtail scallions and tuna jalapeno. This is my go-to local sushi place.“

“Visiting Brigantine for family vacation, celebrating a birthday so we ordered ahead to pickup takeout for 20 people. The whole order was 100% correct (including allergy needs) and delicious, ready on time, everyone loved it. Very nice staff, reasonably priced, will order again!“

“The food was amazing, and the service was fabulous. The restaurant was a little noisy with all the hibachi tables being used.

Parking: Parking was hard to find on the surrounding streets, so make sure you factor in time to find a spot.“
