50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Harrison

“Stopped in for the first time for a burger and a lobster roll on the 4th of July. Legit some of the best bbq food I’ve ever had! Also highly recommend all of their sides. You can tell the passion that goes into their food by the creativity and presentation!“

“The BEST sushi place in town! The sushi is always fresh, delicious, and incredibly consistent in both quality and flavor. The service is wonderful, the gentleman at the register always remembers our usual order and greets us with a smile. He even surprises us with a snack every now and then, which is such a thoughtful touch. It’s also super affordable. No complaints here! I’m always happy to support them as a regular customer. :)“

“Had an absolutely amazing dining experience. From start to finish, Jojo gave us the best service and attention. The food was not only delicious, but of the highest quality. Ryan was our waitress and she was so sweet and attentive. All of the servers who attended to us were kind and detailed in their explanations of the dishes. It was truly a night to remember and now one of my favorite spots. Highly recommend!!!!“

“Ordered via GrubHub for a late Friday night dinner when the sushi craving hit. I ordered a tuna bowl, and hubby had a salmon bowl. All of the sushi bar bowls come with edamame, miso soup, seaweed salad, kani salad, regular salad (in this case, it was arugula), and avocado. The fish came in huge chunks, lightly marinaded, and tasted fresh. No complaints. I’d order again and try some actual rolls next time. I saw on their menu a pretty good deal for lunch - $12.50 for three regular rolls, so I’ll have to check that out.“

“Sushi and food is pretty good overall but the service at this place is really hit or miss. There are two (I believe) revolving servers/people who answer the phone. The younger server is very polite and friendly. However the other is incredibly rude, on the phone, and in person. I ordered from this place very often in the past but I will no longer be ordering from here. His attitude makes it not worth it for me. Overall if you’re just looking for good sushi this place is fine, but don’t expect good service.“

“Might have found my new favorite sushi spot! Sushi was fresh, flavorful, and there was a great variety on the menu. It was also a beautiful summer day, so sitting outside and enjoying the vibes with some great food made it even better.

10/10 would recommend. Definitely coming back!“

“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!“

“While out and about in between appointments, I dropped in at Sushi Wen for lunch.

I’ve gone by it a million times and was curious; they have fantastic reviews online.

It’s a tiny place but the sushi and service were both very good - and they have great lunch specials.“

“I enjoyed my Domokase! There was a great variety of sushi, and I really enjoyed the full course from start to finish. Obviously, this isn’t your typical omakase experience, but it was still really enjoyable and definitely worth trying. I’d recommend it! :]

I personally like the NYC location as well!“

“WOW is the word I would use for this place. My buddy ordered takeout and this Special Roll Combo was delicious. 7 rolls each equally delicious. As you could emagine a little expensive but for what you get GREAT VALUE for your $$$. Easily could feed 3 people.“

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“Great food. Easily customizable to your individual tastes.“

“So good!! I went in with my boyfriend around 9:30 and got the chicken katsu curry. The food was so delicious and came out fast. The lady who served us was so nice and helpful! She didn’t rush us at all we will definitely be back :) and the music is very nice“

“Definitely one of the most overwhelming and beautiful places that I’ve ever been to try sushi in my whole life, there’s no way to describe how good it was.
We wait a little more of what we expected.
But wait was worth it food was fresh, homemade and delicious, attention it’s def a 1000/10 you feel that you’re in your home, my 5yo daughter mentioned that she was being treated like her grandma treat her (so you can have an idea of how good they were) well, not many words to add.

Definitely coming back even when I have to drive 21 miles to go there“

“Leila’s service was wonderful! She was incredibly welcoming and attentive, and the food was absolutely amazing. The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Great food, great service, and such a welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“just delicious!!“

“Service and food were both amazing! My friend and I got the shumai, house special, shrimp tempura roll, and alaskan roll. The taste was so fresh-we have no complaints whatsoever. The staff was also very accommodating and sweet! We will definitely be coming back :)“

“Absolutely love this place! I’ve been going for about 4 years now and I love the food! Anytime we have guests visiting I always take them here for a unique experience!“

“The best ☝️☝️☝️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Since they opened, they have been consistently excellent. I truly hope they're around for many years to come. I've eaten here at least 20–30 times, and the sushi is always fresh. The rolls are well made, with just the right balance of ingredients, not overloaded with rice like you find at some other sushi restaurants.

I've tried the spicy tuna roll, salmon roll, avocado roll, and the ramen, and they have yet to disappoint. I'm wishing them continued success because they've earned it.

I gave them three stars for the atmosphere only because of the bright, white lighting. It reminds me of the lights in a dentist's office. While the restaurant is clean and inviting, I personally prefer warmer lighting to create a cozier dining experience.

One more thing really stood out to me. One evening I called to place an order, but no one answered. I called a second time and assumed they must be closed. About two minutes later, they called me back! 😀 Thanks to that, I got to enjoy sushi that night.

Thank you, and keep up the great work!“

“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! ✌️“

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

“Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and was so impressed by the food! Tried a variety of chicken, pork belly and steak skewers and everything was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. Chicken oyster and pork belly were definitely the highlights. The owner was also so friendly and even gave us some samples to try for free. Took us back to the yakitori we had in Japan. Will definitely be back!“

“This is our local go-to for sushi and hibachi. The food is excellent, staff is friendly and efficient. We mostly order to go, but the restaurant itself is small but cozy with tables and a sushi bar. I'll also add that, in 7 years of ordering from them, they have not gotten a single item on any order wrong. Definitely worth trying.“

“I ordered the two-roll sushi combo with a California roll and a salmon avocado roll, and both were incredibly fresh and delicious. I also got the green salad with ginger dressing, which tasted so fresh and flavorful. The shrimp shumai were honestly addictive. They also included veggie gyoza and miso soup on the house, and both were delicious as well. Everything tasted fresh and well made, and I will definitely be returning to Kame Sushi.“

“Vibes and more vibes def recommended“

“food was amazing. served at relatively quick speed. apps usually come in pairs, so if you're a party of three, don't expect three pieces (just two). sushi/specialty rolls came in 5-8 as it's listed in the menu. soy rolls they add a dollar though per roll (or sushi, i forgot), be careful. they do have a waste policy on their sign, i forgot what it was. i had some soup spilled on me as they attempted to serve it, and they didn't always notice our papers were done already, but not end of the world stuff. the food taste made up for it! it's about mid $30s on a saturday buffet in the late afternoon/early evening. bill is paid by those electronic machines they bring to your face at your table. bathroom is upstairs. water is served in paper cups. i saw another group and ourself seemed to have to manually ask for water refills otherwise. ice cream options at the day were just green tea and strawberry (which wasn't even listed in the menu) but i loved the strawberry. i would come back here.“

“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.“

“My favorite Japanese restaurant.“

“Just a nice chill place with great food“

“I've only gotten rangoons from here, and it's the best crab rangoon in the neighborhood. The crab is visibly present and you can taste it. The wrapper is also thin and crispy. I can only assume they make the rangoons themselves, which is a good sign of the care they put into their other dishes. Every other restaurant gets pre-made rangoons because they are all the same joyless cheese packets with overly thick dough and no flavor. If you, like me, crave the rangoon...make sure to give theirs a try.“

“I have been coming here for many years. I love the food, always fresh, prices are reasonable, staff are friendly, and they cater!!!🙌💪🫶 You have to pick it up 😜 Nice place to bring a first date on neutral territory 🤣“

“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.“

“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!“

“Have only gotten it delivered and it's always been great, carefully packed and super tasty. Beyond being great ramen in general Tonkotsu has become our go to whenever we're under the weather, try it, nothing better to get over a cold“

“very tasty. great price. great staff.“

“I have been to Poke Cafe many times and have had only great experiences. At this point, I have tried quite a bit here! The food and drinks are delicious and it's clear that fresh, high quality ingredients are used. The menu has a variety to choose from. The owners are very polite, accommodating, and welcoming. The cafe also has a very nice atmosphere should you choose to dine in - it is kept clean and neat, and is very cutely decorated.“

“We arrived at the restaurant and they proceeded a seat us next to a table of family with toddler children. The entire restaurant was still empty. We all felt that was a little bit weird. Anyone that arrives with children should have great service, but maybe they should put them in a more secluded area. Most of the food was rated pretty good except for the sushi tuna roll which had a lot of fatty grizzle in it. And that was very unusual cuz I've never had that in a spicy tuna roll before. I don't know if I would order any of the rolls. We stayed mostly with the appetizers which were very filling. Definitely will try it again. The tuna Pizza was exceptional.“

“Called and ordered chicken hibachi, which comes with a free soda and had a ~15 min wait as they cook it fresh. The food is tasty, especially the chicken but the fried rice seemed like it was drenched it teriyaki sauce which made it kinda salty and over bearing. My suggestion to the cook would be to put less or omit it and put it on the side or something. Ill come back to try again and ask them to do that and update my review.“

“If you haven't, book a reservation here a/s/a/p the sushi and drinks were amazing!! The experience was so much fun!! I have been to omakase before, but Sushi by Bou has been the best so far, it was more intimate and the staff was interpersonal which really enhanced the experience!“

“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!!!!!!“

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

“Food, like always, was very very good. The serving was plenty and the taste unmatched. The menu offers plenty of choices. It was so delicious and plentiful that my wife and I, even giving it the old college try, were unsuccessful in finishing our meal. Well then a takeout is necessary. Something to munch on later.“

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

“Literally best sushi place ever!! We walked in and were immediately shocked by the beautiful atmosphere and lights. We were greeted warnmly, and ordered a few minutes later. Our food arrived less than 10 minutes later. Everything was so delicious and we had a great time. 10/10, will definitely be back here.“

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

“I tried the Shio ramen and it was pretty good, not my favorite but the real star of the show was the beef donburi. It was so flavorful and id come back just for that alone. Ever since then me and my aunt order the pork buns through uber eats. Amazing service, highly recommend.“
