50 Best Sushi Bars near Cranford

“Had a great lunch here today! The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Everything came out quickly, and the team was very accommodating and professional. The service really stood out and made for a great experience. We’ll definitely be back for both the food and the excellent customer service! 🍣😊“

“Nothing beats enjoying the sushi at the restaurant but due to the covid pandemic and with an abundance of caution for safety the restaurant is takeout only. Regardless, Mr. Bin's is our "go-to" sushi place. We routinely travel from Union to Cranford because it's that good! The freshness is evident with every bite. The presentation of the sushi is perfect. I miss hanging with Mr. Bin at the restaurant and looking forward that once again. Especially his "special" selections that he surprises me with.“

“Food was amazing will come again“

“Great service , good attention and fresh food“

“I had the honor privilege and luck of being the very first customer to be served at Kanpachi Sushi during their grand opening on 4/29/2022. The very first think I noticed was how friendly and inviting the staff is, they make you feel welcome the second that you step into their establishment. The second thing I noticed was the how the new renovation which makes you want to come in and have a seat at a table or sit at the sushi bar to watch the sushi master construct your order before your eyes. I am impressed with the addition of this new business to Amboy Ave. The food is fresh, top-quality ingredients prepared by a world class chief and sushi master. I had lunch there yesterday and today. Oh, and did I mention that Kanpachi is a BYOB establishment? Sushi steak and Hibachi lovers, do yourself a favor and get over there. I am making this my go to spot for lunch or dinner, I give Kanpachi 5 stars. Thank you for picking Amboy Ave to open your sushi house.“

“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.“

“The food was excellent, with a good variety; the waitress who served me was very friendly and professional; the manager was also very friendly and stopped by several times to ask how we were doing and if everything was alright. All in all, an excellent place.“

“Great dinner on a Saturday afternoon. Monty the waiter was pleasant and helpful. Food was great and fast 😊“

“Very nice place, lots of choices and fresh food. Now they are open for dining in, will be coming back“

“Great food !! Amazing service!! Absolutely loved it !“

“Came here with my family after watching a movie, and we were very pleased with the experience. The miso soup was honestly some of the best I’ve had. It wasn’t overly salty like at many other sushi places, where the saltiness can drown out the other flavors.

Everything tasted fresh, and the rolls were especially good. They weren’t overloaded with rice and were packed with plenty of filling. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and left very satisfied.“

“This is a brand new, recently opened restaurant and wow did they deliver for first impressions. Food was absolutely incredible. The sushi was fresh and made quickly. I had the volcano roll and the Naruto rainbow row, it was beautiful and delicious. Very good quality cuts and tasted fresh Really impressed by their milk tea as well. We got the original and Taro milk tea and it was fantastic. Staff was also very friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. Would definitely be coming back the next time I’m in town!“

“Fresh raw oysters. Sashimi was delicious. Nice portion“

“Nice little sushi place with great prices. My husband and I both enjoyed our items which included the chicken yakitori, Beef Negimaki, vegetable roll, wasabi spicy tuna roll and regular spicy tuna roll. We also enjoyed the fresh complementary grapes at the end. Service was extra friendly and attentive!“

“This is my favorite place ever. The best sushi, the best ramen, the best edamame. I’ve never had better than in here. Every time the food comes quick and it’s absolutely amazing. The servers are also so nice. I’m always happy to come in. Thank you Kinya!“

“First time here and I got the chicken and beef teriyaki with the noodles and veggies. It was delicious. In general I don't care for sushi, but the teriyaki was great and I would definitely get that again. Even though I liked it that much I'll need to try some of the other dishes on the menu first to know if it deserves a higher rating. Other than that it's a clean place with a friendly staff, not too loud and plenty of seating space and parking.“

“I’ve been going to Rahway Sushi for years and can say the food is great. Check out the menu. Lots of great options.“

“Always fresh, superb rolls,great staff, a must if your a sushi fan 🍣“

“Lovely dinner with the family got some sushi rolls and love their good portions of Robata-yaki !! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND . Server is always looking out for us which makes us happy and ready to be full!!!“

“Went here for the first time with my son and I am so glad we found this gem! When you step inside, you’re walking into a peaceful oasis filled with natural light, plants, and beautiful decor. You can dine in or take out. The sushi was so fresh and delicious! We also ordered fried dumplings and shrimp shumai. They have an awesome grocery section to the side where you can buy many Japanese snacks and ramen, as well as mochi. The service was fantastic and the owner is so kind. An absolute must go-to!!“

“Cute place with convenient parking in the back — we had no trouble finding a spot even on a Friday night. The sushi rolls were large and packed with fish. We were pleasantly surprised with free strawberry mochi and two pieces of tempura at the end. Great experience overall!“

“soooo good definitely recommend coming here if you're a sushi lover“

“Food is really,really good, always fresh and the waitresses service is exceptional! We do the all you can eat menu because it's made to order and the appetizers are soooo goooood! The fried rice, Hibachi, tempura and rock shrimp are absolutely exquisite! Great food, friendly service at a reasonable price....what more can I say besides try the spicy Edamame lol!!!!!!😍“

“the food was fantastic. the staff was super nice and friendly“

“I came in today for a meal and ended up really enjoying everything about this place. The ramen was delicious, the broth had great flavor, and the sushi was excellent. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the portion was just right. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the decor gives it a calm, authentic feel.

I’m grateful for how thoughtfully the food was made and how welcoming the environment felt. I’ll definitely come back again with my family.“

“Love this place, been there 3 times. The lady server is always very accommodating and sweet to my son and us. Food is always tasty and fresh. My son loves the food here. Is a small place but thats the charm.

Parking: There plenty of parking around“

“This food does not disappoint! Highly recommend the Bento Box dinners! It’s literally enough for 2-3 meals or if you can agree on the 2 choices definitely enough to share. Sashimi is fresh and delicious, sushi rolls are creative.“

“We love Aoi! It’s the best sushi and Japanese cuisine around.“

“the best highly reccomend for any event“

“great food selection good quality“

“The food is top notch. From the soup to the sushi. Even the ice cream is delicious. What really bothers me though is the service. There is a 90 minute time limit which I get but when you are rushed to get out by an hour that’s not right. Also when you’re hounding tables waiting to literally take a plate because you have nothing else to do that’s a problem. Finally when you’re coming up to tables and asking them for platters back because you don’t have enough supposedly that’s not good either. Last night I was hounded constantly. Twice I had people tell me to move my sushi to my paper plate because they needed the platter. May I suggest buying more platters. Love the food and yes I know I’ll be back but the service was ridiculous in your face. Don’t come here for date night because they don’t leave you alone“

“The buffet is $32.95 on weekdays and $34.95 on weekends or holidays. For the value, it’s totally worth it and food is delicious. They offer all kinds of speciality rolls to sashimi and ngiris. The plating is also very nice and so is the service.

Update: Came back to Sushi Palace with some friends recently and it's still great. The buffet is $32.95 on weekdays and $34.95 on weekends or holidays, and for the value it's totally worth it since the food is delicious. Service is quick and the menu has a ton of variety, from specialty rolls to sashimi (the salmon is my favorite) to nigiri, plus desserts and other food options beyond just sushi. The plating is nice and the service is great overall.“

“I love this place one of the best sushi restaurants in New Jersey!!!“

“It was our first time dinning at Kona grill and we loved it. We were treated like valuable guests and our food was brought quick. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the flight margarita, it was amazing and perfect amount of alcohol. We loved it.“

“My family and I made a visit to Go Sushi in Scotch Plains and were blown away with how good the food was! The photos I attached don’t do justice to how amazing all the food was. We had something as simple as edamame and that was even super yummy. We had the viral sushi push up pop and chicken wrapped asparagus as appetizers. As for our entrees, we have the most delicious dinner bento box with a nice selection of sides. Everything was cooked perfectly and bursting with flavors. Our server was the sweetest lady and very helpful, answering any questions we had. And to end the night off strong we had Ice Cream Tempura, where they fried Green Tea ice cream. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it, I loved it and I’m not even a big fan of green tea! All four of us left with full bellies and a smile on our faces. There was no negative take away from our experience, an all around 10/10!! Can’t recommend them enough, may they forever stay open :)“

“Always as expected. I usually come here after work when I don’t feel like cooking.“

“Had a great first experience at Sushi Zero! We came around 5 p.m. on a Wednesday, so we had the restaurant to ourselves. We ordered 5–6 regular and specialty rolls, and every single one was fresh and delicious. The service was friendly, and we'll definitely be back!“

“Absolutely delicious! The food is always fresh and yummy. Even when dining in, the service allows me to be in and out quickly (especially when squeezing in a visit here during my hour lunch). Additionally, the restaurant is always clean and the appropriate atmosphere.“

“Friendly staff and quick service. Allowed us to bring our own beverages. Definitely will be back.“

“Edit: posted a year ago but i STILLL COME HERE.

I've come here abt 20*** times so far and I've never had a bad food experience. I've had sushi from a lot of other AYCE, all you can eat, sushi places and I think this one is the best in terms of quality and variety. It's about $30 per person.

The fish here tastes fresh and NOT watered down like other places I've been to. The miso soup is good here too, it doesn't taste artificial and sweet like other places.

The special rolls are a little questionable, there are a lot of special rolls that aren't my type and extremely filling but I like the sashimi and regular rolls. The salmon is good here, so I always get salmon sashimi and Alaska rolls.

They also have other foods available in their AYCE like shumai, sesame chicken, lo mein, and calamari, takoyaki, etc. Most of their non-sushi items are good too. I have some friends who don't like seafood but they still get the ayce.

ONE THING TO NOTE, if you come here with a party of 5 or more, you will be charged a 15% service fee.“

“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.“

“First time. New to town. Got a no-rice roll, a spicy tuna roll and seaweed salad. A strong 4 stars. Very good, but different from what I'm used to...Somerville, NJ. Staff was 100% on point. Friendly and service was fast. I will definitely go back and try more.“

“So delish. We highly recommend this place. Lots of good food to chose from for all you could eat.“

“Happiness is when your favorite sushi restaurant delivers to your front door.“

“Cute little spot. Warm fast and attentive service. I love that I was given my space, I am a slow eater and I wasn’t made to feel rushed. Food was amazing. I am vegan and they had plenty of options. I go the stir fried udon noodles delicious and sushi. Prices were also great and reasonable. Will definitely come back and be a loyal customer.“

“very entertaining n food was very good“

“Wow a life changing experience! I had the honer and privilege of taking my family to the Greatest Japanese Restaurant in all

Our first time their of many visits to come! They gave my wife a box of Chocolates yesterday!! If you are looking to eat at the very best for Japanese Cuisine please come here $

Kid-friendliness: Extremely kind to our son!“

“The food and service are always top notch! Wether you order a healthy salad, fresh sushi, American classics or any other item on the extensive & creative menu, Bistro 1051 will not disappoint. The service is always impeccable. The whole staff and the owner, Michael, are warm, friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy. I highly recommend for date night, lunch with friends and large events. This is one of my go-to restaurants in the Clark area. I’ve been a fan for well over 10 years!“

“Ordered a few different rolls to share and everything was better than expected. The California Roll and other sushi options were fresh and nicely made. I like that there are choices for both sushi lovers and people trying Japanese food for the first time.“
