50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Blackwood

“We just moved to the area from Ocean County. We enjoy going out to many restaurants when we go to different places and we especially love good sushi. We first tried other sushi places around the area that were rated highly on google (in other areas we have felt Google is usually accurate), and were very disappointed with the quality of the sushi at those places. We found this place and saw that it had all you can eat sushi and originally were not expecting much due to the reviews. However, we were blown away by the quality of the sushi. We ordered multiple rounds of different fish, especially their salmon, as shown in our photo. This is some of the highest quality sushi we have ever had. We can't speak for the other food since we have now always done the AYCE sushi. But, we can not recommend this restaurant enough, we now find ourselves always craving their sushi! We spoke to the family owners and they were very nice. I really have never written a review for a restaurant, but I had to! They have some of the highest quality sushi you can get on the east coast, make sure to try it out!“

“Amazing restaurant featuring high quality sushi and house made noodles. The sushi bar chefs are fun and informative and the servers are knowledgeable and efficient. The quality of the roe/caviar and uni on the sushi dishes really stood out. The hot tea with roasted rice was also very good!“

“The perfect little neighborhood sushi spot at Broad and Jackson. They are always so nice about honoring my requests and in the two years as a customer I have never had anything but the freshest sushi. I spend too much money at Kiku every month because it is so delicious and their delivery is so fast. Super nice owner and staff. A hidden gem!“

“Been searching for good japanese restaurant for quite some time. Let me just say that Mikado far exceeded our expectations. From tge appetizers to dinner, it was exceptional. Our server, Michelle, was great. We had tge seared pepper tuna sushi app - so fresh and delicious. My husband had the hibachi with filet and lobster - amazing too. My son had the combo udon noodles - ate every bite! We had the tempura banana dessert - delicious as well as the chocolate mousse cake and coppa cafe. Amy at the front desk was so gracious and sweet. We will definitely be back many times. Give this place a try - you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Great quality and amazing customer service. Definitely our go-to sushi spot. We used to live around the corner from it and now we are further and still make the trip to eat here. The place is small and intimate, and the staff are very attentive. For example, I spilled my soy sauce bowl on the table and I hadn’t even picked up the napkin to clean it up when the staff had already placed more napkins on the table.“

“Delicious food, friendly and fun servers. Looking forward to returning soon!“

“For all all you can eat location, it is good quality food at a reasonable price in a clean and quiet atmosphere. It's mot cluttered with tables and the service is quick and timely. There is small fee for take away, but it's nothing crazy.“

“It's one of the best authentic japanese restaurants in South Jersey! The ambienence is casual and welcoming. The staff is extremely friendly and delivered top-tier service. Takeout is available. We dined in and had the japanese cucumber salad (highly recommend if you like spicy pickle flavors), takoyaki, ma-yu (black garlic ramen), tonkotsu (fried pork) ramen and red bean mochi ice cream. The portions are generous, and ramen can be customized to accommodate your flavor preference. A perfect place for a date night or sharing a meal with friends / family.“

“Delicious and fabulous service!“

“Best Japanese cuisine around. Sushi made in front of you. Everything is so fresh and authentic“

“the food and service was amazing! My partner and I went there during a busy weekend and we were still able to eat indoors. The restaurant does seem to be mainly a take out spot to the locals but the dinning service was great. the rolls were so good and fresh!
We will definitely come back when we're in the area.“

“Fav place♥!“

“I used to live around the block from this place and would go all the time. I since moved a half hour away and STILL go out of my way to go here. My wife and I have tried other sushi places and they just aren't remotely as good as Sakura. The staff are also the absolute sweetest.“

“Took my 5-year-old daughter for her first hibachi lunch. The chef made her feel very special. She really enjoyed the show, especially the volcano. I had the filet mignon and chicken and was barely able to eat everything. My daughter enjoyed the steak, and my wife had scallops and said that they were really well prepared.The service was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean too.All in all a fun afternoon.“

“I ordered online through the website. You can preorder and choose the time you will pick up your food. The service is exceptional and the food is amazing. Highly recommend ordering ahead through the website. It's way better than delivery and less expensive.“

“Unassuming from the outside, but delicious food! Super friendly service, clean inside. Fish was fresh and all the rolls we tried were great. Great selection of raw and cooked rolls at reasonable prices. Highly recommend the sweetheart, shrimp mango, and green money rolls“

“We love it there! Especially our Vicky! Our Dee! All the sushi chefs and the owners! We love to see everyone when we come every week!! We have our favorite foods there and we are in Japanese Heaven!! Thank you! ARIGATO!!💃🎉“

“This was our first time going here and whereas we may or may not ever get to go there again I highly recommend it. The service was perfect the food was amazing and it was a comfortable setting. We actually found the place by accident, we were traveling and our children decided they were hungry so we just pulled off of the highway and found some place that we could all agree and I am so happy we did. You all did a wonderful job.“

“Honestly one of the best freshest sushi in the area. They also feature some fantastic Japanese cuisine“

“The place is such a gem. The restaurant is small size but is nice clean . The owners and staff were very friendly. All the Sushi appeared were very fresh . Highly“

“We ate pickup/takeout from here nearly weekly when we lived locally and now only visit annually but go out of our way to eat here any chance we can when we fly back! We were thrilled to support them through the uncertain pandemic time and are so glad they’re still open. Incredible quality rolls for the price. We love this family-run business. They remember us even when we’ve been away for years. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“Great dinner!!! Love this place. They are consistent every visit, all the staff is professional and awesome! Been going here for years and love it every time“

“Great sushi and environment. Downtown Haddonfield is extremely old school with lots of small shops, so allow time to do some window shopping.“

“Five stars delicious food“

“I am a grad student at Rowan, so I am on a budget. Most of the restaurants close to Rowan (the ones on Rowan Blvd in particular) are pricey. This restaurant is within my budget around $10. I asked the owner if I could order differently than what was on the menu. Buns and fries are not my favorite so in place of them I asked for wings, dumplings and rolls. She cooked it for me. Next time I will order rice and shrimp (love shrimp).“

“I had a unique situation with my food last night and I wanted to thank the staff on duty for handling it so quickly and professionally!“

“Food is amazing and service is outstanding! Cherri and the rest of the staff are always so warm and friendly!“

“I stopped by here for lunch and was not disappointed! The food was good, cooked to order and you got plenty of it!
The Staff was nice and she helped me place my order because I wasn't sure what I wanted!
I would definitely recommend this location!“

“Everything is so good! Fresh Sushi! New Batches of sushi rice everyday, love the people who work there. Friendly environment! Very Generous! Amazing Service! The only sushi spot, I enjoy eating at. Please come out and check it out yourself! Will not disappoint. Deserve a 5.0 star! ⭐️“

“Great food! Beautiful presentation! Love the katsu chicken. A must try if you’re tired of eating on the boardwalk food.“

“Very tasty typical Asian food. Drinks are served in awesome plastic cups with a happy cat on them. The prices are cheap, you can even order half a portion. There are always a lot of customers here, which is not surprising. I recommend this place!“

“This is such a lovely nice spot! My wife and I would order from them all of the time! The fish is always nice and fresh. My wife is Japanese and even she always found their sushi tasty! The owners are also always incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!“

“Got the shrimp teriyaki bento box. Portion was massive. Came with some tempura pieces including a big shrimp tempura. The shrimp was cooked good on both. Rice was cooked good. Not dry or too wet. Came with some dumplings too. Would order again! Maybe would get beef next time. There’s a bunch of different options.“

“Great food & an awesome team. The other day I ordered my food and realized one of the food was missing.. I gave them a call & they went up and beyond to deliver the missing food to my job. Definitely looking forward to my next visit. 😀“

“Best sushi in South Jersey, if not the entire state. My daughter and I travel an hour and a half as often as we can to eat there. Everything is made fresh and authentic! I'd give them 6 stars if it was an option. We've eaten there dozens of times and have never had a bad experience. 👍👍“

“The staff couldn't be more Fantastic- friendly entertaining and accommodating. The Hibachi was hibachi tasted as you'd expect. Got some sushi which i was a little nervous about given us being in the middle of nowhere New Jersey HOWEVER looking at other patrons dishes on the walk in gave me the courage to give it a shot and sure enough was fresh , delicious , cut properly (very underrated important aspect) and well- prepared.“

“Hot, fresh and exceptional quality. Excellent service and friendly atmosphere.“

“I had one of the best culinary experiences with the four seasons dish. In my personal opinion is the best around. The vegetables were perfect and the meat was delicious, temperature, flavor and presentation were outstanding. I highly recommend dine in, in that way you will not lose the flavor of fresh well done Chinese food.
I have been there three times already, I'll try the whole menu, there are a variety of Asian food.“

“First time ordering from this place, and they serve high quality sushi and food at affordable prices! I've had the salmon rolls as of today, and they are healthy and delicious! The tempura vegetables were quite delectable, and the miso soup was excellent! Friendly service and excellent food!“

“Watami Sushi is a great little sushi place. Amazing service from the waitress, and the sushi always tastes so fresh! ☺️“

“Love the Mei Fun - must try if you haven't! I always add some soy sauce and some it up, but that's a personal preference. Reheats well the next day.
