11 Best Japanese Restaurants in Hoboken

“If you’re looking for great food/cocktails/service/ambience...Saku is for you!“

“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“

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

“It was very expensive at $18 a bowl for the pork ramen, especially when there was very little pork. (3 pieces, maybe 2oz. in total.) I also wished they'd seasoned the pork before putting it in the ramen; it didn't have enough time to soak up Any flavor. However, the broth was incredible and the wait staff matched! If money is not an issue, get the ramen, ask for a bunch of extra meat, and you'll absolutely adore this place! Otherwise, there is better value to be had elsewhere.“

“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.“

“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 sushi restaurant left a very deep impression on me. First of all, the interior is simple yet comfortable, with soft lighting that creates a relaxing atmosphere. It’s perfect for dining with friends or enjoying a leisurely dinner. The staff is very friendly and professional, providing detailed explanations of each dish, which felt very considerate.

The quality of the sushi is truly impeccable, with fresh ingredients. Their Toro, in particular, was delicate and tender, with a rich texture. The rice had the perfect balance, enhancing the fish without overpowering its flavor. Additionally, the presentation of the nigiri was exquisite, and you could really sense the chef’s care and craftsmanship in every bite. I highly recommend trying their sashimi platter; it’s generously portioned, with thick, fresh slices of fish.

As for the price, although it's not particularly cheap, it’s well worth it for the high quality of the ingredients and the overall experience. Whether you're a die-hard sushi lover or a first-time customer, this sushi restaurant is definitely worth a visit. It’s the kind of place that will keep you coming back.“

“Delicious ! Worth every cent ❤️❤️❤️“

“Obsessed. Our new go-to sushi place in Hoboken. Soooo much better than Robongi next door. The special rolls are unbelievable and there’s so many to choose from. The house salad with ginger dressing - incredible. And our waitress was beyond kind and attentive. Coming here all the time.“

“Had an amazing make-your-own Poké bowl! Ingredients were fresh, service was prompt and courteous, and you get plenty of food for what you pay. I plan on coming here often!“

“This is the best restaurant I have ever eaten from. I am so passionate about this sushi here that this restaurant would 100% be my death row meal. The freshness of the fish is incomparable to anything else in the market. I recommend so much!!!! You will not regret buying from here“
