18 Best Japanese Restaurants near Freehold

“The food was delicious, more than you can eat. The cook was very entertaining!!!“

“I had an incredible dining experience at Oyako Tso. The moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive without being intrusive—truly professional and welcoming.

I ordered Sushi and Steak. It was absolutely delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, portions were generous, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh, not from a can of food, also high quality.

Special shoutout to the French Fries.

The service was amazing, and I never felt rushed. Even the little details, like presentation and drink pairings, I was so impressed.

Never was forced to tip, but still left 30 dollar tip.

I Highly recommend this place for a date night, special occasion, or just a good place to get food. I’ll definitely be coming back!!“

“I’ve been living in Freehold for 27 years, yet I couldn’t even name another food court restaurant, let alone endear myself to any so much as I have Little Tokyo. When I was a little girl, I would so look forward to their INIMITABLE teriyaki dark meat chicken samples, and I spent my first wages ever on an actual meal from this place. It is a time-tested fixture at the Freehold mall, a must-have if you ever work or shop here and still a reliably fast and delicious option for me when I am in the area. I’m pretty sure I’ve been helped by the exact same woman at the front of the line my entire life, and she gives me a big smile every time I see her. I’ve tried teriyaki/bourbon chicken at other malls all over the state, and this is the only one that is not only delicious, but is prepared in way that is not greasy. This is truly the only place I will go for Americanized Chinese food and enjoy it at all. My go-to: 2 sides, 2 entrees - string beans and plantains, double teriyaki chicken. Even post-pandemic, the price is unbeatable for the amount of food you get.“

“Love, love, love this place. I was in heaven. Presentation was awesome. If you love sushi, come join us! 🥰“

“Everything was delicious and the staff were absolutely excellent in every way!“

“Very delicious food! And the people are very kinds. Very clean always. Definitely recomend.“

“Good quality sushi and friendly service in downtown Lakewood. Quite a few different rolls and small dishes to choose from. They also had two types of boba tea, and the one we got was good. The service was friendly and they even gave us an extra dish that was made by mistake. But note this a counter order / takeout shop, not a sit-down restaurant w/ sushi bar. That was not clear to me when I went. If dining in, you order on tablets at the shop and they bring it out. Or you can order ahead and pick it up to go. Most of their business seems to be takeout. On the plus side, you don't have to tip a server. Pretty small inside, about 4 four-tops and 4 two-tops. Not dirty inside, but they should take some time cleaning the floor and windows more, as well as tidying up the inventory that's stacked up by the windows, to give it a nicer, more welcoming feel inside.“

“Fantastic food! Kids loved it too!“

“I had heard so many good things about Nikko's so I stopped by for a take out meal the other day. From the time I walked through the door, I had a great experience. The decor is really nice, the restaurant clean and the people working there are even nicer and very helpful. I ordered the seafood hibachi entree. The smell was so good I couldn't wait to get home to eat it. I wasn't disappointed. The meal was delicious, plentiful and made with FRESH ingredients“

“totally redesigned interior, looks very clean and nice. food is good as well, all that we ordered was delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive compared to what it was years back is day and night. Now I would definitely recommend it. just keep in mind it is not on the cheap side 😉“

“Love the food 👌🏻👌🏻so fresh and taste so good“

“Best sushi around! Fresh and the service is quick!“

“Tough to go wrong here. Not the best you can get but definitely the best you can get for the money. Parking lot is awkward. Wouldn't even try to park next to the restaurant. Go behind the next cluster of stores next to it. Half priced sushi from open to close. I will not say a bad thing about the sushi vs the cost. Also got gyoza-couldve been a little crispier. 4 items including 2 spicy crab rolls for less than $25. Tough to beat“

“Best Chinese food in Jackson“

“We have been ordering from here for over a year now, after trying so many places around here this one hit all of things I look for in a Chinese take out place. The food is delicious EVERY time. We have ordered so maby things...its all good. They actually have their own delivery drivers, which is rare nowadays, they are very accomodàting with regards to special requests and substitutions. They are also very REASONABLY PRICED for this area. Lastly, their complimentary fried noodles are not those thin generic ones. I think they make their own and they are very good. 🙂“

“HUGE shout out to everyone at this establishment for ALWAYS treating my mother with dignity and respect she has dementia and every time we dine There they are so accommodating with great food! the staff exceed all expectations thank you deeply“
