50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Harrison

“Food so good it made me want to cry. I had fried oysters that were so fresh, juicy, and big with the spicy mayo and rice. Next time will have it with the omelette 🥹

Seriously made for a happy day

Welcoming staff and space“

“awesome food for an awesome price. Coming in at barely double digits $9.99 for chicken teriyaki is definitely a good deal.
Plenty of food coming in only 1 order enough to feed an entire family of 3.
Delivery driver Justin was friendly and attentive to communicate the time duration my food would arrive in. Arrived warm and ready to eat. The restaurant even provided free condiments and utensils for their customer's convenience. All in all: Great service, great people, and great food. Sakura Japan.“

“Small restaurant but big flavor.

The chicken teriyaki box is a great deal served fresh with fantastic flavor and came with so many delicious sides. I also tried a couple of sushi rolls and seems like you can't go wrong with any options. I haven't had fresh cuts of fish like that anywhere else! Definitely recommend!“

“I love this place. My sister and I try to go at least once or twice a month. The food is great, the quality is awesome, and the service is good. You don't have to wait too long for your food. My little sister usually gets her California and shrimp tempura rolls. I get the rainbow roll and the O.M.G roll but everything we've tried is crazy good. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.“

“This place is a gem.
The best time to go is at around 3:00. The restaurant was virtually empty when we arrived and we were seated immediately.
As soon as we ordered our food, it was on our table within 7 minutes.
Our waiter was very kind!
I highly recommend the Rainbow roll and the Kinya Ramen bowl.
The serving sizes are large and more than enough for one person.
My boyfriend and I plan to return for the excellent food and upstanding service.

Gordon Ramsey would be silent at one bite of the delicious goodness on the Kinya menu. Incredibly tasty. -A Hell’s Kitchen Reference“

“Today, my friend introduced me to sushi wen. This is a cozy Japanese restaurant. When my friends and I were having dinner, the service staff patiently explained it to me. We had a nice dinner! The only drawback is that there isn't enough parking space.“

“The rolls are fantastic but the wagyu beef steals the show here. Mango roll with tuna is something different and one of my favorites on the menu. The owner is a wonderful man and the place is extremely clean. You can tell how much pride is taken in this place for our community. I highly recommend it.“

“just delicious!!“

“This is easily some of the best food I’ve had in the whole NYC area and definitely the best yakitori I’ve ever had. Each skewer was uniquely seasoned and delicious. Getting food here and sitting by the water to eat it is a perfect experience. Also the Hey Yogurt is right next to it, so it’s easy to get a yummy drink/dessert with the meal! Erotori does also offer a mochi dessert I’ll be sure to try next time“

“How amazing! So nice and professional. Mai is an amazing server. Super clean and fresh“

“Love Curiosity! Delicious, fresh and well priced food. The garden provides a great atmosphere. The staff is so friendly and the owner treats you like an old friend as soon as you walk in. Highly recommend Curiosity for your dining experience.“

“Always good fun. I don't get to go often since it's a little pricey but the quality of the food never wavers and the cooks put on such a great show especially for the kids.

Dietary restrictions: They accommodated a gluten intolerant member of our party

Kid-friendliness: Kids eat free Mondays and Tuesdays!“

“Excellent food and especially service. I was compelled to write this review because my family's server this evening actually ran down the block to make sure we got the leftovers we had wrapped up to go and left on the table. Thank you!!“

“Great sushi! Always fresh! They always get my order right. Staff is friendly and orders are always ready within 20 minutes.I can't say enough about Oishi Sushi! I am never disappointed with my order! DELICIOUS.. Perfect neighborhood spot.“

“Owned by a married couple, they are both super welcoming when you get inside. They are very kind and make you feel like you're at home because the chef cooks right in front of you and it's pretty cozy in there.

Amazing sushi! It's seriously the best that I have had in my life. The food is fresh with very good quality and delicious flavor. I feel like no other restaurant/place does it like Ino Sushi. The place is also quiet and calm.

When we were leaving, my almost 2 year old brother hugged the owners and they are just soooo nice. Love it here!

Kid-friendliness: VERY kind to kids!“

“The best ☝️☝️☝️“

“Friendly, quick service, good prices, delicious sushi and boba drinks! There were other sushi options in this area but they seemed overpriced and more formal than the atmosphere I was going for. Very cozy and I liked it so much that I came back a second time!“

“I had an incredible dining experience at this sushi place!
The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, with the fish tasting as if it was just caught.
The service was excellent attentive and friendly, making sure everything was perfect throughout the meal.
The highlight of the evening, though, was the mango panna cotta. It was the perfect way to end a delightful dinner—refreshing, smooth, and bursting with flavor. I cannot wait to return! Highly recommended!“

“Kid-friendliness: Мой сын очень любит это место , это рядом с нашим домом ,поэтому мы часто там бываем. Хозяева всегда приветливые и вежливые. Быстро обслуживают .“

“I love coming to Wasai Bistro whenever I’m visiting the east coast. I’ve followed Chef Nelson since his days at Aozora and Wabi Sabi. His food quality, menu options, and value are unmatched in the area. Once you try his food you will understand why he has so many repeat diners. I highly recommend the Mes Reves Roll, Uni and bone marrow ramen, Miso glazed sea bass entree and salmon lover entree but it’s very hard to go wrong with anything Chef Nelson serves. Parking is street parking only but honestly I’ve always had a very easy time finding a spot. BYOB so you can drink what you love.“

“We love Ninja Sushi! It’s our go-to sushi spot in the area. The food is always so fresh, professionally prepared and the staff is super friendly. Try the OMG roll, because…. OMG, the presentation says it all! It’s where sushi meets comfort food. Delicious.“

“Woman who takes orders is absolutely the worst. It’s my birthday she won’t even give a single smile or have any sense of being personable. You need to replace her or your reputation is gonna go down the drain. Ruined my birthday lunch. I had a feeling she might be awful every day cause this has happened before so we called ahead to warn it was my birthday and they assured we should come. Regret it! Seriously get rid of her!!!!!!“

“This is such a cozy cute place to grab some sushi! We did the all you can eat sushi, every single one we tried was amazing. Everything tasted fresh especially the raw fish! I would definitely recommend coming here! I wish I had taken more photos since the sushi also was presented so beautifully too!“

“Kyoto is the reason why I started loving sushi!!! They have lots of dishes with cooked fish for sushi (as my stomach cannot tolerate raw fish) and they absolutely nailed it. I keep on forgetting the name of the dishes I ordered but every time me and my husband go there we show them the pic below and they gave us the same order ? thanks guys ❤️“

“Friday night sushi date! Itto is always packed and, imo, the best sushi in JC (don’t coke at me domo domo people!).

We ordered three rolls and were shocked at the size. These puppies are THICCC and full of flavor. Of the sushi around JC Itto is definitely my favorite for freshness.

This place is BYOB, bring your booze with you.“

“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.“

“The food quality and set menus they have are really solid for sushi and quite delicious. I feel like it gets a little pricy and that’s why I reviewed them at a 4 VS 5 stars as I know I can get equally as good of a handroll in the city for a substantial amount less, but overall this is a good staple in Jersey City. The udon and miso cod are also pretty tasty.“

“Lychee martini and seafood ramen“

“Freshest sushi in town and the nicest people you ever want to meet, staff is so kind and accommodating.“

“Food was delicious and the staff were kind and attentive. What else could you want? We love coming here.“

“Haven't been here in over a yr. The food was very good. The owner was extremely nice. We order several sushi rolls for 4, and she gave us a couple of appetizers on the house. The food was fresh and the service was good. Will most definitely be going back.“

“Really nice people and excellent sushi! Cute little place for a date and its byob“

“Love the sushi never a dull moment and the owner is very friendly and Great service“

“Authentic taste. The hot tea is excellent, and, the vegetarian options are plentiful.

Vegetarian options: The menu offers a lot of options for vegetarians in rolls with avocado, cucumber, mango, and others. Also, the noodles soup with veggies is of very generous quantity. The broth in the bowl is very flavorful.
The bottomless hot tea is great!“

“We've been meaning to to try so many of the new restaurants in the area. We finally got here for a late lunch today. Not surprisingly on a Thursday at 2PM and snowing, we had the place to ourselves. It was fortunate because the woman who took care of us explained everything to us in detail. I wasn't familiar with the Kurobuta pork. Apparently it's known as the, "Kobe beef of pork." All their pork come from Berkshire pigs. They come from a farm in Jersey. I'm guessing North Jersey. (Lot's of cool info if you Google them) Cooking is done using White charcoal which is used in traditional Japanese cooking. We started with the crispy cauliflower. It had crispy shallots & tahini vinegarette on them. They were delicious! Then the Shanghai bao. Filling was pork. (naturally) So delicious and juicy! When you slice them in half watch for the juice to squirt! We ordered six skewers. Two with pork jowel (cheek) Two regular pork and two fish. Again, delicious. i also had a bowl of spicy miso ramen. Our server explained how the broth is simmered for eight hours with pig bones and marrow. I could tell as the broth was very rich! That was it for us. We were both very full and i even took half of my ramen. We can't wait to return and bring friends! Highly recommend! ✌️“

“Just a nice chill place with great food“

“Delish Japanese Food. Sushi rolls are done fresh and on the spot.“

“Celebrated a friends birthday yesterday and it was such an amazing dinner! We were welcomed with complimentary sake and the sushi was so fresh and each piece different than the last. Our chef was one of the best omakase chefs we’ve had! He was very attentive to our needs and made sure each of us were content. Will def go back!“

“This place is most-likely the best place I have **ever** went to on the island. The food was a masterpiece being very fresh feeling more of an “authentic Japanese food”, they also treated us positively and the atmosphere felt very “authentic”. Overall the place is a must try if you’re looking for a Japanese resaturant.

Kid-friendliness: They treated my child (and me) very well were nice to both of us.“

“First time here and the food is great!
Ordered:
-Momo (chicken thighs) skewers
-Butaniku (pork belly) skewers
-Spicy Pork Bun
-Spicy Miso Ramen with Egg
-Beef Donburri
-Fried Green tea Icecream

Amazing service and staff. I would love to stop by again and try other items on the menu.“

“The small restaurant is located in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. They serve Japanese cuisine. The restaurant is primarily a takeout with several tables for dining in. I ordered two bento boxes. Each bento box includes soup, salad, white rice, California roll, three shumai, shrimp and vegetable tempura and choice of an entree. I ordered the fried oysters and salmon teriyaki entrees. Everything was well-prepared with generous portions. The takoradi appetizer were fried octopus balls served with a dipping sauce. Friendly and quick service.“

“Food and service it was good 😊“

“Super fresh. .. clean calm enviorment...amazing sushi“

“This place is fantastic, the taste is good, the service is friendly, the atmosphere is great. I'll come again next time.“

“To start with, the service was fantastic. everyone was attentive to our needs but at no time did we feel like we were being pressured. The food was all delicious and the pricing for main dishes and sushi was very reasonable. The menu is very creative and the dishes are presented beautifully. Definitely worth trying and I would eat there again.“

“I think unlike most customers here I go in person with my father. I see lots of takeout orders. It’s a nice slow paced experience in person. They don’t fill up to the point you feel pressured to order. Just take your time ordering what you want.“

“Impressed by this tiny gem in the thick of Bergenline - freshly made, competitively priced & rich in flavor. Staff was beyond courteous, restaurant was clean & conveniently located for a lovely stop during a long shopping trip. Will be returning sooner than later !

Ordered salmon poke bowl w citrus ponzu, chicken bento, angry dragon roll & lemonade.“

“Absolutely delicious!!! Great prices fast service, definitely my go to place“

“Sarku has been a staple of food courts for as long as I can remember. To be honest, the sushi is really good! We ordered at the front and they made it fresh on the spot. The chicken teriyaki is also very satisfying if you want a healthier option for lunch, it comes with rice and mixed vegetables.“

“Been here 3 times so far I am vegetarian but I love their rolls I got the special deal 3 for 13.95 amazing rolls tastes absolutely amazing. The lady in the front is very sweet and friendly. My go to place for sushi in staten island best for takeout as it is a small place. I also got miso soup has no fish broth. So far I tried the avocado cucumber, sweet potato, tofu, pumpkin roll all excellent.“
