26 Best Japanese Restaurants near Bridgewater

“I tried vegan specialty Mango Tango roll, it was awesome tasty & excellent. The Ginger & Wasabi was very fresh. The taste was amazing, but it'd be nice if they have little bigger portion

Vegetarian options: They have vegan normal & specialty rolls“

“The food is delicious? and the service attitude of the staff is very good??? The only drawback is that it is too hot to eat in. There is no air conditioning. There is no air conditioning. There is no air conditioning...How can there be no air conditioning! If there is still no air conditioning, I will not choose it again next time. I hope it will be resolved soon. Overall, I am very satisfied, especially the service attitude. ?“

“Aah. First of all those rice balls are just delicious. This would be my first time having the rice balls and let me tell you I will be coming back for more of those. I got the salmon or tuna Mayo ball. I ended up having to text my friend about the ball itself and hyped it up. I loved the flakes they put on top they really payed attention to detail. Now ramen I’ve had multiple times and we have a little ramen group chat where we share the best ramen places around. You can bet we mentioned this place to them in the group chat. I loved the broth it was my favorite part by far.“

“excellent food. Best sushi and hibachi rice“

“We walked in later in the evening, for a quick meal and the place didn’t disappoint. It’s an unassuming place , conveniently located. The service was quick , the food served hot and it’s delicious. We enjoyed everything we had from the ramen , chicken teriyaki to spring rolls. Would recommend and will come back.“

“I was curious because another reviewer said that out of the 30 ramen places he went to in NJ, this was in the top 3. He’s right! I ordered the black garlic ramen, and it was delicious. Tender pork chasu and the broth wasn’t too salty. I also love that they included corn and bamboo. Very reasonable around $13. Some might want more than 2 pieces of pork, but I thought overall it was a good portion size. We also enjoyed the takoyaki and spicy girl roll (not spicy at all but had salmon, tuna, avocado with crunchy pieces). Service was attentive but not that friendly. Place was clean and decorated with many cool Lego sets! The only negative was the mango bubble tea. It didn’t taste like mango at all. Weird flavor. Save yourself and go to Gong Cha for high quality tea. But I do recommend the food at this place!“

“Have been there so many times with friends, families and my kids. My kids love the traditional Taiwanese noodles, and I love their Japanese rolls. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff add to the overall dining experience, making it our favorite go-to restaurent! Love this place.“

“My favorite Japanese restaurant! The food and service are exceptional!“

“The place is small but the food is AMAZING!! Love the ninja theme they put around the place. Will definitely come back more offten.“

“Loved their lunch box with chicken teriyaki. Wife had several rolls, and liked all of them. Became our favorite Asian restaurant in Bernards/Warren area. It may be crowded during the evening hours. Recommend to order take out rather than waiting to be seated.“

“Outstanding food and very friendly staff ~ highly recommend!“

“fresh food and friendly staff.“

“Wow~ I found a decent raw fish and sushi restaurant after a year and a half since coming to the US. It's hard to find a house like this even in Korea, but I was lucky.
I really recommend it to anyone who enjoys authentic sushi.
president. I ate well~^^“

“I often come here for their omakase for special occasions and wanted to reinforce my high opinion of Ai through reviews. However, I saw a few bad reviews and that broke my heart. Ai truly upholds the highest quality sushi. Some things to note: if you don't care all that much about quality of fish, don't go here, you'll just end up complaining that it's too expensive (its not at all for the quality) Additionally, note that this is a no frills omakase experience, don't expect some fancy up the butt service. If they forget to tell you what fish it is, just ask the waitress (I care more about the food than I do the service if you haven't figured) Though, I will say, all the times I've been there, the service has been great. For some background (and perhaps credibility on my taste) I'm an avid sushi enjoyer and by avid I mean I've tried my fair share of high end omakase experiences (Noz included). I've also been to Japan and tried the fresh sushi there. All that being said, trust me when I say this is THE best value omakase you'll find.“

“We walked into this place last minute on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday since another sushi place had been unable to accommodate gf. We could not have stumbled upon a better experience! Elan at the sushi bar made us a custom omakase tasting all gluten free and so delicious. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really created a one of a kind meal while making us feel special and taken care of. We ended up with about 15 different courses i believe all fabulous and ended with a special ice cream sushi dessert. Best part was it’s been a bit since we ended and i still feel great, stuffed but i can tell it was celiac safe! We will definitely be back!“

“The most fresh sushi you can find in New Jersey in the hillsbrough and belle meade area and Manville area always fresh mouth watering on every bite it’s make you want to order more and more because it’s so good but you got to have mindset your eyes bigger then tummy to have the right amount but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS “

“Always fresh! Owners are wonderful people’“

“Amazing fresh sushi and wonderful staff. Was amazed by the freshness and value. Will be back soon for sure.“

“We ordered California roll, Sesame Chicken and Bean Curd Gravy with Tofu. The California Roll and the Sesame Chicken were delicious, while the bean curd gravy could have been better.
We would recommend this place for a good Asian meal.“

“I love their garlic shrimp with scallops menu item. I always get it for take-out. I have eaten at least 20 of them. There is a problem with their packaging. They put the food into a white plastic container that ALWAYS leaks. The container is not water-proof. They put the white container into a brown bag and put that into a plastic bag. The sauce leaks from the white container through the brown bag and into the plastic bag. When I open the white container, I get sauce from the bottom of the container all over my kitchen counter and have a mess to clean up. I have seen other take-out containers and NONE of them ever leak. This business needs to get a liquid-proof or water-proof container to put the food in so the sauce does not leak out. Wake up please!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered a take-out today July 31, 2024 and was surprised to see they have a new container that, when held upright, does not leak. One good step in the right direction. I wish they would go one more step and use a truly watertight container. Many restaurants use waterproof containers so an even better type of container does exist.“

“Very Good food and Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Excellent place. Come here for special occasions. Excellent all you can eat!“

“Food was great! There is an astounding amount of delicious meal and dessert choices. It's "All-you-can-eat," buffet style with a $20-$30 price range. Our waitress provided great service whenever requested. We will definitely go back.

Vegetarian options: The asparagus was "out-of-this-world" great!

Parking: I didn't order seafood dishes, so I can't comment on their seafood 🦞.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure“

“Aikou is outstanding, in all regards…from the service, ambiance, presentation and personality. You will not find a better establishment that tops the charts in all categories. The quality of food is outstanding and exquisite, your orders will speak for themselves.“

“We have been going here for our once a month dinner date for a few years now and are never dissatisfied. They are consistent, friendly to us every time, and quick! it is a BYOB establishment 30$ per person on weekends and $25 on weekdays will get you all you can eat from a menu that has salads, teriyaki choices, tempura choices, a host of apps, and all the sashimi, sushi rolls, and specialty rolls you can think of! My husband gets every appetizer on the menu but really likes the chicken teriyaki and fried shrimp dumplings. I go crazy for their shrimp and salmon sashimi and of course the classic US California roll. The few times we have not been able to finish a few pieces of sushi they have been understanding and not charged us, that being said we’ve seen many people order too much and get a charge. My main advice would be START SLOW. You can order as many times as you want and they are very quick to get the food to you. No need to start with a monster order and end up in a hole! I also recommend getting the hot tea (free refills all night) to help you eat more ! Finally if you are GF either pick up your own bottle at the nearby shoprite or bring one from your house they no longer offer GF soy sauce. My husband ops for spicy Mayo instead but you have to ask for it!“

“Great service with amazing food. Bianca the waitress is very friendly and super fast“
