50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Edgewater

“Love This place !“

“This place is just WOW! The rice balls are all so delicious. The rice is imported from Japan and you can definity taste the quality. My top favorites are spicy chicken( contains peanuts) and spam which contains kinda like a tamagoyaki egg and it's wrapped with a strip of seaweed sheet. You should definitely check this place out as they have a majority of options to choice from.“

“I’m really a fan of Arigato. I used to live across the street, now I live about five minutes away and it’s still such a great, easy, quick go-to during the week. The staff is always kind. There’s usually always places to sit, don’t need a reservation. I love the easy and chill vibes of this place. Their food is also always fresh. I’d definitely recommend to others. My husband likes a sushi. I am allergic to fish, so I am stuck to veggie rolls. But I appreciate that they have a delicious, sweet potato tempura roll, and also a unique rice paper roll with different veggies inside, that I get every time. The reason for the four stars, is simply because I think some other dishes, like their chicken teriyaki needs a lot of work. If I were them, I would remove it from the menu until they got it a better spot- taste and presentation wise. It doesn’t align with the rest of their delicious offerings. That said, I’m about to enjoy my next meal from them! Well done Arigato!“

“Food is always fresh and very well prepared. Staff is professional and courteous“

“Love their Green Tea crepes, usually stop in their for some when I can“

“We got the egg omelette with fried chicken. It’s 4 pieces of karaage on top of a Japanese omelette over rice. It’s served with what I think was a cup of miso. Or something similar. The chicken was pretty good. It’s dark meat. The omelet was good too. Overall it was a bit bland, but much preferable to too much salt. I’d get it again. We snagged a spot by the window so we got to eat with a view of the skyline, but it’s busy so don’t count on it“

“Unique Japanese desserts.“

“My family and I have always been to this place when we are in mitsuwa. This is because to get taiyaki which tasted wonderful and seems like two taiyaki cooked together with azuki filling. The taiyaki was wonderful and tasty when it was hot.“

“Kaiden Hannosuke offers an exceptional tempura experience with perfectly crispy, golden-fried seafood and vegetables that melt in your mouth. The tendon bowls are balanced with a flavorful sauce and freshly steamed rice, making each bite incredibly satisfying. Despite a potential wait, the quality and authenticity make it well worth the visit“

“The Japanese and Italian flavors mixed well and are to come back for. I stayed in the hotel where the restraunt was attached. In the area, with a focus of cocktails and table service for an upscale environment, it was delightful.

I love cocktails, and the servers were personable. Nothing pretentious. They focus on service and taste! Our food was excellent and the drinks were even better. It's a pleasant experience.“

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“Excellent!!! Food, service, atmosphere 👍👍“

“Put this place on the map!!!! A tried a true, best of the best, MUST go to spot when visiting (or living in) NYC. No exaggeration, my boyfriend and I haven’t stopped talking about this place since we visited last year. We’ll finally be back in town next month and are beyond excited to be dining with them again. Did we book a trip just to eat here!? Maybe… probably… because seriously, this place is exceptional. The owner is the sweetest, most delightful human with an incredible story and the food/service is an unmatched experience. Plus, you simply can’t beat their affordable omakasi prices…but the bigger bonus??? BYOB. Bring your wine, bring your tequila, bring neither or bring both. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a party in the most intimate sense. I never write reviews, but Sushi YOLO is a 10/10, so please, do yourself a favor and go see them before they earn that Michelin Star!“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“Very good food and for the value. From California and our prices for similar sushi would be much higher! Fish is fresh, had the hand rolls which were very good. My friend had the bento and the salmon was a bit dry but otherwise food was good! The sushi taco appetizer and sesame cucumbers were excellent!“

“Great Service and the foods was delicious. Will come back here again.“

“The best homemade udon in town , strongly recommended“

“Ramen is good ! Soup is good not so oily Yakitori good with Asahi Beeru !“

“We had an amazing experience here this evening. The atmosphere was extremely relaxing and chill. The simple artistic decor creates a serene atmosphere. The food is delicious. We especially loved the beef tartar, duck, miso cod, milk bread, and shirt rib. Sticky toffee pudding was rich, but somewhat delicate. Cocktails were well balanced. Everyone was extremely attentive and the attention to detail made the entire experience one to cherish. I highly recommend this place. It's tucked away, but worth the trip. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Great Sushi and Ramen place on Hudson Yard, been here many times. I love their new ramen Shiromaru Classic, signature maki, Suram bowl and Omakase. Their staff very friendly, helpful, great recommendation. Special thanks to Cristian and all his team, fast service.

The place is clean, and surprisingly they got bigger room inside. Cristian explained to me, the room can be booked for special event. Very nice and comfortable. ??? definitely will be back and inform my friends“

“Sushi Makoto was a very fresh experience. The selection of fish was standard but the other appetizers and dishes were unique. The vibe is awesome— with a little more intimacy than some other omakase spots in the city. As well, for the price point, the value here is great. I’ve paid more for less in the city and it feels like these days it’s hard to find “good” omakase for under $200 PP. Corkage fee is very reasonable, and their sake cooling decide is almost worth a visit in itself!

My only quarrel is that it took some time to get seated, for a reservation at 7, a lot of the guests from earlier were still dining and we weren’t sat until closer to 7:20. Which isn’t the end of the world, but something to perhaps note from a business side. Lastly, I would’ve liked to be offered more at the end of the meal instead of being given the cheque. Perhaps that’s standard protocol but it was not offered to us our evening there.

Regardless, amazing experience. Truly loved this spot.“

“This place is fantastic!! The food flavorful and you’ll end up craving it a few days later. I highly recommend their spicy katsu chicken sandwich and their curry bowl. They have fun Japanese drinks, desserts and snacks as well. There is sometimes a long line but it goes quick. Definitely check this place out.“

“Wonderful and friendly staff. Delish food.“

“I came here to celebrate my sister's birthday and ordered the 17 piece omakase. I rarely leave reviews but was incredibly impressed by the service and quality of the sushi. Between the presentation and the unique combos, this was certainly a meal to remember. Our chef, Allen/Alan, was very professional and graceful in serving each piece.
Overall, I highly recommend visiting!“

“A great menu with each dish and skewer perfectly cooked. Great char and amazing flavour from the grill. It would have been good to see a wider variety of skewers and accompaniments as they were mostly chicken and very simple.
I was a little disappointed that the meatball skewer was not served with an onsen egg.
The wonton soup was unique and had a silky texture. Loved how the menu finished with a comforting bowl of ramen and a smooth caramel purin.
Staff were attentive and welcoming. Overall a fantastic experience!“

“Amazing Omakase experience! Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The chef’s attention to detail and passion really stood out. Great atmosphere and top-notch service. One of the best meals I’ve had—highly recommend!“

“My plus one and I really enjoyed our time here. We had just gotten home from vacation and were in a mood for Ramen and this place did not disappoint.
Let me just say that this place has such a traditional Japanese vibe to it…the staff is warm and welcoming and the food was spectacular.
We had the ramen, both original and spicy and it was very delicious. We also had two Asahi beers and called it a day.
Overall, I will come back to this place more often.“

“The meal is fast, the food is delicious, and the links are elegant and warm.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Fushimi Restaurant! The food was delicious, from the appetizers we ordered to our main course. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks, which perfectly complemented our meal. What truly made our visit exceptional was the incredible service provided by our waitress, Ohmie. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Her warm demeanor and professionalism truly elevated our dining experience. We strongly recommend Fushimi Restaurant, especially because of the outstanding service we received from Ohmie. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Lovely! This was a perfect birthday dinner celebration. The staff is gracious an inviting from the second you ring the doorbell. The space is beautiful although the enclosed garden was a little bit hot. I'm glad it wasn't hot or out and I'm sure it would be perfectly cozy in the winter.

The food was beautifully presented, deeply delicious and thoroughly explained. Even the chawanmushi, which looks deceptively plain, was a delicate swirl of flavor layers.

We had 12 courses and never felt rushed.

Would highly recommend for a special occasion meal.

Plus, it's a nonprofit, so they're doing good work in the food world!“

“This is the best sushi in NY in my opinion. Amazing chef and Shari is just perfect. All Nigiri are great. There are so many mediocre, non-taditional sushi in NY. This place is amazing pure edomae. Highly recommended! I come here many times if I can get a reservation“

“Great dinner here on a Friday early evening! We made a reservation but they take walk ins as well. We came with our toddler and they were accommodating and had a high chair! My favorites were the scallop hand roll and the tuna hand rolls.

My toddler loved the udon noodle soup.“

“Randomly decided to dine here before a show at Webster Hall. Every single thing we ordered was absolutely delicious. Teppen gyoza, kimchi beef fried rice, dynamite roll, and mango martini. Definitely plan on returning.“

“The best restaurant I’ve been to in New York, my partner and I came on a 7 day trip and we were dumbfounded by the amazing service, delicious food, and the awesome drinks! We will 10000% be coming back the next time we’re back! Massive shoutout to Ashwin for being the friendliest and most welcoming person I’ve come across:)“

“I came here on a date, and the experience was quite unique. The chef uses every part of the chicken to create an innovative take on yakitori. While it is on the pricier side at $175 per person, the quality of the food made it worthwhile. The yakitori was exceptional, and watching the chef prepare each dish right in front of you added a personal touch to the meal. The space is intimate, with only counter seating, and they offer luxurious add-ons like caviar and truffle, paired with an excellent selection of wines.“

“My partner found a hidden gem in Williamsburg. We tried the seasonal omakase set. The fish was fresh, each piece was delicious. Also, enjoyed that when each piece came out, the hostess would show us a photo of the fish we’re eating. Chef Leo is really knowledgeable with the food, so don’t be afraid to ask for information. Will definitely come back!“

“Typically Omakase restaurants are very formal and proper. I planned, we walked in and what a great time. We laughed with all and they gave us free drinks.

Food prep was done with artistically done.

Want to experience a fun Omakase, stop in“

“This is a very pleasant restaurant. You can take your family and friends with you... My sister and I had a great time and ate everything we could... The food is very fresh... The place is very clean, and the staff is very enthusiastic and great. I got five stars... You must have a try.“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“Party of eight and we all enjoyed everything we ate and drank. 👍 for the kitchen staff on doing everything perfect and quick. The staff was amazing and service was great. I highly recommend the burger 🍔. Will definitely go back.“

“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.“

“I've been the first time in NYC and i wanted to try some Japanese food, so i went to KUU Ramen. The ambiente ist very small and calm. All the waitresses were so nice and the food was just amazing i ate there the best japenese Teryiaki Chicken ever in my life(i'm an japenese food expert)!!!! Ever again when i'm in nyc!!!!!!“

“Exceptional. Sushi is our family’s favorite food, and we have been to well known sushi restaurants in LA, NYC, San Francisco, Miami, etc. No exaggeration; Butterfish stacks up against any of them. The chef’s creations were inventive yet simple, and Jojo and the rest of the staff took good care of us without hovering or lingering.“

“Our 1st omakaze experience & def not the last! I love the smallness of the place, it makes it special! Everything melts in your mouth! The best Christmas gift ever!“

“Perfect Food, Great Service, Nice Atmosphere“

“Excellent AYCE (at least for 90 minutes) restaurant. The Diamond set left nothing to be desired for us. We ate tons of high quality Wagyu and seafood. It was fantastic. Our server Tom took great care of us and was always attentive and friendly.“

“DASHI OKUME is a hidden gem in Brooklyn! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the calming aroma of quality Japanese ingredients and a beautifully curated space that feels like a slice of Tokyo. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about dashi, and they take the time to walk you through the different varieties and combinations based on your taste preferences.

The custom dashi blends are a game-changer—deep, umami-rich, and incredibly fresh. You can really taste the difference compared to store-bought broth. Whether you’re making miso soup, noodle dishes, or even just sipping it on its own, the flavor is next-level.

They also carry a great selection of premium Japanese pantry staples, and everything is presented with care and attention to detail. DASHI OKUME isn’t just a shop—it’s an experience. Highly recommend to anyone who loves Japanese cuisine or wants to elevate their home cooking!“

“I’m from Chicago my son and his girlfriend attended your lovely restaurant. We had dessert. The Parfait which I had the Presentation was actually how I seen it instagram it was Delicious and They had the ice cream they also enjoyed it.“
