14 Best Japanese Restaurants in Fort Lee

“Well presented Japanese cuisine“

“Very friendly staff. Food was delicious. Wish we lived closer.“

“Awesome atmosphere and music ….and the food is a “10” out of “10”!!! Delicious !!!!! The octopus is a definite must have!!!!!“

“Great food, great service! I've been coming here for so long, and I don't think I'll ever stop. The owners are so nice and welcoming, and the sushi is amazing. High quality fish + large portions for great prices? Count me in. I love their lunch specials and they are so generous with their portion sizes if I didn't mention it enough earlier. They have so much on their menu to offer you'll never get bored of the options. Just amazing!!“

“Recently tried the Las Vegas Sushi midweek lunch special. The Hwe-Dup-Bap was well made, with fresh ingredients, and served with miso soup. We will be returning.“

“Decent price and quality sushi. I had sushi and sashimi platter combo and my family and friends liked it very much!“

“Best Titanic roll. Best razing roll. Best rainbow roll“

“This place is like a hidden gem! Some reviews mentioned the food isn't as good as pictured, but you really can't beat it for the price. For $8–$13, you get a solid portion of hot, home-style Korean food instead of basic fast food. If you're expecting top-tier quality or a massive variety, you'd easily spend $30–$40 per person at a sit-down spot plus tip. Overall, this is easily one of the best go-to takeout spots around in Fort Lee. I've been ordering food from there for long time.“

“무엇보다 직원분들이 너무 친절하셔서 좋았어요 음식 맛도 정말 맛있었구요.“

“Love this place. Small but clean. I love the plating they look beautiful. The food is delicious we will definitely coming back with my whole family next time ✨✨✨✨✨“

“Food is amazing... there is never a long wait and the food comes out extremely quick“

“5 stars. The whole place felt bright and welcoming the moment I walked in, and the line moved fast without making you feel rushed. I’m not even kidding, I was craving something fresh and satisfying, and this hit perfectly.

I’m vegetarian, so I always check the menu first to make sure there’s actually good options and not just “plain salad” energy. The vegetarian bowl was amazing and tasted like it had real flavor built into it, not just toppings thrown on at the end. The staff were great about pointing me toward the best veggie-friendly picks, and you could tell they understood what people want when they come in hungry.

There was also a nice “build your own” style to it, so I could customize my order the way I like it. I ended up getting a mix of vibrant ingredients that felt crunchy, creamy, and tangy all at once. Honestly, it reminded me of why I like poke in the first place.

One funny moment from my experience: I tried to tell my friend what I ordered, and I spelled “avocado” wrong like a total gremlin. Also, I said “It was so good, I couldn’t even stop eating, so I ate faster” which is a weird sentence, but that’s exactly how it went. I kept thinking, how is this so fresh and balanced?

If you want a vegetarian-friendly poke spot with real menu options and food that tastes like it was made with care, this is an easy 5 star pick.“

“We have been in a lot of sushi places. Yamagata is one of the best. The foods are fresh and services are great 👍🏻“

“This is, without question, the best sushi I've had in New Jersey.

From the very first bite, I could immediately tell why Akasaka is so highly recommended. The sashimi was exceptionally fresh, and the sushi and specialty rolls were all outstanding. Every dish was prepared with great care, and the quality and attention to detail were evident in every bite.

I learned that the chef previously worked at a well-known hotel in Japan, and it truly shows. The freshness, precision, and craftsmanship of the food made this meal unforgettable.

The owner was also incredibly kind and welcoming, making the entire experience even better.

Everything exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for truly outstanding sushi in New Jersey, I wholeheartedly recommend Akasaka.“
