50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Bloomfield

“I had an incredible dining experience at this sushi place!
The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, with the fish tasting as if it was just caught.
The service was excellent attentive and friendly, making sure everything was perfect throughout the meal.
The highlight of the evening, though, was the mango panna cotta. It was the perfect way to end a delightful dinner—refreshing, smooth, and bursting with flavor. I cannot wait to return! Highly recommended!“

“Authentic taste. The hot tea is excellent, and, the vegetarian options are plentiful.

Vegetarian options: The menu offers a lot of options for vegetarians in rolls with avocado, cucumber, mango, and others. Also, the noodles soup with veggies is of very generous quantity. The broth in the bowl is very flavorful.
The bottomless hot tea is great!“

“fresh... fresh... fresh... we love this place!“

“Food was Delish and Service was great!😊👍🏼“

“Very good hibachi and rolls. Consistent quality and good portions.“

“There is absolutely no reason to go over the Hudson for one of those fancy, overpriced omakase experiences. Butterfish in Rutherford was a 15 out of 10.
JoJo took hospitality to another level, making our entire family feel so special... especially my daughter on her birthday.
And the food? Course after course, it just kept getting better. The name Butterfish couldn't be more fitting because every bite was so fresh it literally melted in your mouth!!

Bravo, JoJo & Team !!
We'll be back. Highly, highly recommend.“

“Wow. This place is incredible! The portions are very good for the price. Awesome presentation. Fast service. Tasty… SUPER tasty. A+ all around.“

The food tasted authentic and absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend it for a lunch date or even a quick stop for boba. The staff was attentive, friendly, and polite, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be returning soon!:)“

“Amazing time eating here, It was a windy day and I wanted some light eats and stumbled upon this restaurant, the vibe was so cozy and homey, you guys should definitely get their nigiris, all of it are good stuff. sadly no photos taken, 10/10 experience, would definitely come back.“

Would recommend the wings.
Pork buns are also pretty good.
Shrimp tempura are average.
Nice drink specials, and atmosphere“

“Great service and really yummy food.“

“The sushi was absolutely delicious, and the presentation of the food was beautiful. The rolls were also really good, with so many varieties to choose from. I also really enjoyed the udon and the salmon bento set—they were full of flavor. The atmosphere inside is warm and inviting, and the wall art is fun and memorable. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. It’s the kind of place I find myself coming back to often.“

“just delicious!!“

““We had dinner at Sushi Koshi today and were really impressed. The sushi was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was clean and comfortable. Especially the rolls were excellent. Definitely a place we will come back to for sushi in New Jersey.”“

“Definitely one of the most overwhelming and beautiful places that I’ve ever been to try sushi in my whole life, there’s no way to describe how good it was.
We wait a little more of what we expected.
But wait was worth it food was fresh, homemade and delicious, attention it’s def a 1000/10 you feel that you’re in your home, my 5yo daughter mentioned that she was being treated like her grandma treat her (so you can have an idea of how good they were) well, not many words to add.

Definitely coming back even when I have to drive 21 miles to go there“

“Great food. Easily customizable to your individual tastes.“

“Love Curiosity! Delicious, fresh and well priced food. The garden provides a great atmosphere. The staff is so friendly and the owner treats you like an old friend as soon as you walk in. Highly recommend Curiosity for your dining experience.“

“Food 3/5
Service 4.5/5
Ambience 3/5
Value 4/5

I really wanted to love Tiam Tiam because the presentation is pretty good, but the execution was a bit inconsistent. On the plus side, the hospitality is top-notch; we loved the complimentary Taiwanese kimchi and dessert, and the portion sizes are generous

Pork Belly over Rice (4.25/5): The standout! It was packed with flavor, though on the oily side

Soft Shell Crab (3.5/5): The crab was well-prepared, but the avocado pairing muted the flavor, making it a bit bland

Taiwanese Fried Chicken over Rice (3/5): This was surprisingly sweet for a savory entree, which others may like that

Century Old Egg Tofu (2/5): A miss for me, it was served cold and the sauce pairing didn’t really work

Great service and a lovely vibe overall“

“The Kani Salad Sando is killer! This sandwich is LARGE and tasty. Soft, fluffy white bread (which I usually don't like) holds the perfectly put together Sando like a big hug. Be prepared to be full! The atmosphere is cute & comfy and service is lovely. Our waiter was sweet & attentive. The seaweed salad was fresh and bright. I'll definitely be back to try everything on this menu. ⚡“

“This is our local go-to for sushi and hibachi. The food is excellent, staff is friendly and efficient. We mostly order to go, but the restaurant itself is small but cozy with tables and a sushi bar. I'll also add that, in 7 years of ordering from them, they have not gotten a single item on any order wrong. Definitely worth trying.“

“Absolutely love this place! I’ve been going for about 4 years now and I love the food! Anytime we have guests visiting I always take them here for a unique experience!“

“We love Ninja Sushi! It’s our go-to sushi spot in the area. The food is always so fresh, professionally prepared and the staff is super friendly. Try the OMG roll, because…. OMG, the presentation says it all! It’s where sushi meets comfort food. Delicious.“

“Oishi Sushi is my husband’s absolute favorite sushi spot! The quality is always fresh, the service is great, and the atmosphere is welcoming. His go-to order is the Amazing Tuna roll, and it never disappoints — flavorful, fresh, and perfectly made every time. Definitely one of our favorite places for sushi. Highly recommend if you love good tuna rolls!“

“Food was good and I had a good time throughout dinner. When we got the check the price of our meal was $4 more than what it said on the menu. When I asked the waitress she said they had just put in new menus and that the new price was reflected on our bill. We told them that we didn't know that and we expected that the old price would be honored which was $4 lower. They came to us and they said that if we insisted they could lower the price for us. So we said that we wanted that. otherwise it was a good meal. But I'm shocked that they did not just honor the price and expected us to accept the new price without seeing it on the menu. would not come back“

“Good food!🍱 a little bit dimly lit but it’s probably to make it feel and look cozy.“

“We love Tempura Place! We go probably weekly and often order platters for parties. They know us by name and are very friendly with us. We have friends of friends who rave about the party platters we bring. The food is fresh & delicious!“

“Just a nice chill place with great food“

“Called and ordered chicken hibachi, which comes with a free soda and had a ~15 min wait as they cook it fresh. The food is tasty, especially the chicken but the fried rice seemed like it was drenched it teriyaki sauce which made it kinda salty and over bearing. My suggestion to the cook would be to put less or omit it and put it on the side or something. Ill come back to try again and ask them to do that and update my review.“

“A friend and myself came across this gem by happenstance. The wait staff is incredibly kind and patient. The atmosphere was calming and the food is FANTABULOUS!!! I recommend this place for lunch and dinner. Whether it's just friends or a casual date.“

“Woman who takes orders is absolutely the worst. It’s my birthday she won’t even give a single smile or have any sense of being personable. You need to replace her or your reputation is gonna go down the drain. Ruined my birthday lunch. I had a feeling she might be awful every day cause this has happened before so we called ahead to warn it was my birthday and they assured we should come. Regret it! Seriously get rid of her!!!!!!“

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“I have been coming here for many years. I love the food, always fresh, prices are reasonable, staff are friendly, and they cater!!!🙌💪🫶 You have to pick it up 😜 Nice place to bring a first date on neutral territory 🤣“

“Nam's Sushi is quite simply the best! Sherry is a great lady! I go there at least once or twice a week! The food is excellent. If you want some great sushi, please go to Nam's Sushi! The food is incredible and the people who work there are so friendly! I love Nam's so much!“

“This is a fantastic sushi spot that I highly recommend to anyone in the area. The chicken katsu roll was especially delicious — definitely a must-try. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the prices were great. Overall, an excellent experience and absolutely worth a visit.“

“Had a girls night here and was so excited to try it out after hearing nothing but great reviews and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The number one item you MUST try is the sticky ribs. We initially didn’t order it but our server Bradley said it was a must, and it was truly our favorite of the night. We did a ton of sushi from the nigiri platter to the lobster temaki & the toro tartar, and the Surf n Turf roll they torched at the table. Everything was so delicious and fresh, the atmosphere and presentation was 10/10 as well. Can’t wait to come back and try everything else!“

“To start with, the service was fantastic. everyone was attentive to our needs but at no time did we feel like we were being pressured. The food was all delicious and the pricing for main dishes and sushi was very reasonable. The menu is very creative and the dishes are presented beautifully. Definitely worth trying and I would eat there again.“

“Food, like always, was very very good. The serving was plenty and the taste unmatched. The menu offers plenty of choices. It was so delicious and plentiful that my wife and I, even giving it the old college try, were unsuccessful in finishing our meal. Well then a takeout is necessary. Something to munch on later.“

“This place is fantastic, the taste is good, the service is friendly, the atmosphere is great. I'll come again next time.“

“The food was great; my wife had sushi, which was very fresh, as expected from a Japanese restaurant. I had some noodles with beef, which were also great! The prices are a bit more expensive, but any good sushi place is expensive, plus it's a restaurant. The staff was great and helpful!“

“The wait staff was very polite and patient. They gave us ample time to preview the menu. After we placed our orders, the food came to us pretty fast. Food was very good. And the presentation of the dishes were very pretty. I ordered the maki combo it was very good. Sorry, I ate some and I realized I forgot to take a Pic. So part of it was eaten. I would recommend trying out this place. It was a great experience. I want to go back again soon. They also offer take out. But I think sitting at the restaurant, the ambiance is real nice and having the meal there was a great experience.“

“Lychee martini and seafood ramen“

“Decent sashimi lunch combo, well packaged to go!

Sashimi 🐟 🍣
Decent portions of red snapper, salmon, tuna, and I think Hirame? Lots of tsuma shredded radish underneath. Premium soy sauce from Yamasa and Shirakiku.

Comes with salad and miso soup. Also white rice 🍚.“

“We have been dining at Yellowtail Rutherford regularly since last year, and it has become one of our favorite spots for sushi. The sushi is consistently fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious, which keeps us coming back time and time again.

The location is convenient, with easy street parking available nearby, making every visit hassle-free. Beyond the outstanding food, what truly sets Yellowtail apart is the exceptional service.

A special thank you to Ellie, who always greets us with a warm smile and makes us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walk through the door. Her friendly and attentive service adds so much to the overall dining experience.

We would also like to recognize the entire staff, who work tirelessly to ensure every guest is well looked after. Their professionalism, hard work, and dedication never go unnoticed and contribute to the wonderful atmosphere of the restaurant.

If you're looking for delicious sushi, excellent service, and a welcoming environment, Yellowtail Rutherford is a place we highly recommend.“

“We've been meaning to to try so many of the new restaurants in the area. We finally got here for a late lunch today. Not surprisingly on a Thursday at 2PM and snowing, we had the place to ourselves. It was fortunate because the woman who took care of us explained everything to us in detail. I wasn't familiar with the Kurobuta pork. Apparently it's known as the, "Kobe beef of pork." All their pork come from Berkshire pigs. They come from a farm in Jersey. I'm guessing North Jersey. (Lot's of cool info if you Google them) Cooking is done using White charcoal which is used in traditional Japanese cooking. We started with the crispy cauliflower. It had crispy shallots & tahini vinegarette on them. They were delicious! Then the Shanghai bao. Filling was pork. (naturally) So delicious and juicy! When you slice them in half watch for the juice to squirt! We ordered six skewers. Two with pork jowel (cheek) Two regular pork and two fish. Again, delicious. i also had a bowl of spicy miso ramen. Our server explained how the broth is simmered for eight hours with pig bones and marrow. I could tell as the broth was very rich! That was it for us. We were both very full and i even took half of my ramen. We can't wait to return and bring friends! Highly recommend! ✌️“

“Really nice people and excellent sushi! Cute little place for a date and its byob“

“Love the sushi never a dull moment and the owner is very friendly and Great service“

“It’s a pretty quiet place to grab food or a drink. I got strawberry green tea. It was pretty good! Overall lots of different options for anyone. There’s many menu items to try! My drink was so good. You can self order at the machine as well. Give this place a try!“

“Enjoyed a really good dinner meal 🥘 at this restaurant - MATSUYA Japanese Steakhouse in Saddle Brook, NJ. I started off with an Avocado 🥑 and Crab 🦀 Meat Salad with Wasabi Dressing. Then a nice hot bowl of Japanese Miso Soup 🥣. Then went into that Entree - Sea Scallop Teriyaki with Fried Rice 🍚. Yes this place was slamming!!!!!!! Mentioned it to a guy I know and he said he went there for a meal with his wife. I guess they must be pretty good!!!!!! 😎 👍🏿👍🏿“

“I love this place! I've been going for a few years and every time I've gone they've given me a nice meal at a reasonable price. Definitely my go to when I want to get something in town within walking distance. I tried some of their new menu items since they've moved up the street and enjoyed them all 💗 I highly recommend trying the buffalo shrimp roll - the buffalo sauce is really good. It's a great little snack“
