50 Best Sushi Bars near Iselin

“A nice little gem tucked away in the APA hotel. If you have a craving for Japanese food, this spot is it. (They had Fried Aji on their daily special the day I went ) I got their Salmon Ikura Don, Botan Ebi and Otoro a la carte, and their Black Sesame Panna Cotta. Food was pretty good, better than any Japanese restaurant in the main Edison area, but there are some little things to nitpick at. Some of the salmon was still slightly frozen (I went during lunch on a Tuesday), and I didn't realize some of the salmon would be slightly grilled. Thought it'd be all sashimi but that's my fault for not asking. I do wish that the veggies in the don came as a side salad instead of in the don itself. I feel like the veggies messed up the Salmon Ikura flavor profile a bit. The a la carte sushi were great! So delicious, but the Botan shrimp head came way after the botan shrimp body. Maybe their kitchen was busy, it's not really a big deal for me but I can imagine it might not be ideal for other customers. The Black Sesame Panna Cotta was not too sweet but I do wish the black sesame profile was a little bit stronger. Again, just me being nitpicky, I would definitely order it again! I will have to go back to try more of their menu items because they do have a wide selection of stuff I haven't seen elsewhere in Edison. Their service was impeccable. Something a really upscale place would have!“

“The food is great at this new restaurant on Amboy Ave. Good service and nice clean atmosphere. Highly recommend! The fried calamari, fish tempura and gyoza were especially good. I had the salmon hibachi dinner. Lots of food and really good and fresh!!“

“I have so many times here i like the server a lot his name is Edwin he is very kind and take care the table very very well i would like to come again i like the service from the server and the manager is very funny and kind his name is farel thanks“

“Their sushi is very fresh and exceptional! The fish quality was very fresh and their plating was pretty and clean. Sushi chef looks intimidating, however he is friendly and caring. He personally came out of his kitchen just to see how our food was. I love sushi and I have a particular pickiness with sushi. I either goto NYC or upper Bergen to get sashimi and sushi. They serve the real yellowtail and tuna fish! Their salmon and white sashimi meat and wasabi is different from all the other sushi bar/restaurant. I’ve so much to compliment about this sushi restaurant, let your taste bud judge my review, I highly recommend.“

“Best Japanese place in the area IMO.. so lucky to live within less than a mile! Tried the pork fried dumplings today and they were freshly hand made and delicious, the dipping sauce was like a sweet soy, yum. Their ginger dressing is so good we always get extra for our avocado salad. Favorite roll is the Golden Dragon! Don't skip this place. Also very nice owners and staff, every time!“

“Everything we ordered was excellent. The station roll is very tasty and the hibachi steak and chicken are amazing as well. Definitely recommend the money bags as well, perfect combination of smoothness with crunch.Kid-friendliness: Staff is very friendly, my kids love going there they got little panda bear treats to go.“

“I came across this sushi restaurant and it has been my go-to recommendation for family and friends. The service here is friendly and helpful deciding what is good to order. The salmon skin salad and carpaccio-tuna/salmon is a must try. Often times you try new sushi spots they can be skeptical but food quality and presentation is on point.“

“This is my go to sushi spot outside of traveling to NYC. For reference, I just went into NYC last weekend to a place for omakase, have brewed my own sake, and have traveled and tried plenty of sushi places (far more expensive) via the company credit card. The fish quality here is easily on par with most places 50% more expensive. The "dinner for two" style options are a good deal and it is BYOB if you want to bring wine or sake (which I do generally when I go). The service is incredibly friendly, actually even as an introvert I am tempted to try to strike up a conversation with Mr. Bin as he seems like a cool guy, perhaps next time I will offer him a drink. Anyway, long story short, this is the best sushi spot in the area and is worth going to 100% if you are feeling sushi. Only demerit is they should be more clear on what comes with a salad as I've ordered a second salad before, and that they always offer the oysters which IMO sound expensive (I get 1$ fresh oysters when I'm in florida). But overall this is a solid five star suggestion for sushi in the area.“

“Cozy little sushi shop in downtown Rahway! They consistently serve good tasting sushi - been a repeat customer for months (since I first tried the restaurant!) Love their mango and avocado sushi roll as well as the green dragon rolls. The appetizers are also good! The prices are also very reasonable for sushi. The service is prompt and I believe it's family owned - love seeing familiar faces!“

“The food was delicious at Nemo. It's BYO, which keeps costs down. The service was a little slow, even for someone who likes leisurely dinners and doesn't want to be rushed. We felt like we were waiting to see our server several times throughout our dinner. We will go back and try it again, since the food was so good.“

“This place always delivers. From sushi to hot dinner, it's always on point. It's a town favorite and you can especially tell that during dinner time. People are willing to wait for a table. And I cannot stress the service enough. It's fast and the very attentive. Thank you so much!“

“Two small problems,no dine in anymore, pandemia killed it...,fish quality suddenly went down from a very good level before. We always take chirashi sushi and can see the difference.Plz don't cut corners even given substantial fish price inflation?.“

“My favorite sushi spot in the area. This restaurant is small, but the dim lighting makes for a cozy and relaxing environment. There's so many options on the menu (and pictures, too). I've been here three times, and each visit was great.“

“Been here for lunch many times and really enjoy it. First time for dinner, and while the food was spectacular, service was a little off. First the place was packed, so factor that, but still shouldn't wait 20 minutes to have your BYOB wine opened. Took another 20 before order was taken, and then entrees arrived 3 minutes after appetizers. Took another 20 after we were done to order coffee and dessert. They brought the coffee, then nothing until the waitress comes over with check. I asked about the desserts we ordered and she was clueless. They did try to make it right by giving us some sambuca and the desserts we ordered to go, no charge. So they tried. All in all I'll be back. The food is worth it and maybe this was just too much for a new waitress. But I may stick with lunchtime.“

“We dropped in for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. The sushi lunch packages are flexible, fresh, and priced very reasonably! Service was fast and friendly, parking super easy, refills on green tea came quickly. First time there under new management and we'll surely be back!Parking: Plenty of spaces and easy in/out“

“The sushi from here is decently priced and they don't pack the rolls with a ton of rice either. I love that the price is good because I'm able to get more of a variety of rolls to try. The fish is fresh and tastes great as well. Definitely worth a trip!“

“pricy, friendly staff, fast take out, had #14 TIGER ROLL, very good, excellent fresh fish but NO CRUNCH on top as advertised which is what makes this particular roll taste better. Piece of lemon would have added more taste so that's why I only gave it 4 starts., probably return when I'm in the area. .“

“Nice local place if your in the mood for a poke bowl. Offer bowls with 2 or 3 proteins of your choice. I got tuna and yellowtail. You pick a variety of ingredients, toppings and sauces. They do a great job. Fish is fresh. Overall delicious.“

“I've come here abt 6 times so far and I've never had a bad food experience. I've had sushi from a lot of other AYCE, all you can eat, sushi places and I think this one is the best in terms of quality and variety. It's about $30 per person.The fish here tastes fresh and NOT watered down like other places I've been to. The miso soup always tastes good and fresh, it doesn't taste artificial and sweet like other places.The special rolls are a little questionable, there are a lot of special rolls that aren't my type and extremely filling but I like the sashimi and regular rolls. I love the salmon from here, so I always get salmon sashimi and Alaska rolls.They also have other foods available in their AYCE like shumai, sesame chicken, lo mein, and calamari, takoyaki, etc. Most of their non-sushi items are good too.ONE THING TO NOTE, if you come here with a party of 5 or more, you will be charged a 15% service fee. Coming here with 4 people or less is worth it when they all eat their money's worth.“

“Have been twice in the last two months and it has been excellent both times. The staff is incredibly friendly and fish is very fresh. Have gone for dinner on week nights both times and have not needed reservations. They DO have a full liquor license. They also have gluten free soy sauce available upon request. Would highly recommend!“

“Visited for lunch and just as good as I remembered. Had to get the Spring Breeze roll - love this combination and have never seen it anywhere else. The lunch box is a great deal too at around 14 bucks. The also have a lunch special where you can pick 2-3 regular rolls with soup and salad. We were able to find street parking out front but if you can't remember there is a public lot nearby.“

“I'm not usually a Sushi person but my cousin decided to take me on a lunch date to one of her favorite spots. We ordered the lunch special ( 2 orders of shrimp tempura, 1 order of crab roll) and we opted for salad versus soup. We also ordered a salmon teriyaki meal to share. All in all everything was delicious, came out quickly and service was quick. I love that it's also in a plaza with plenty of parking.I would come back here again to try other items from the menu“

“This is one of the few sushi places (if not the only one) in the area and surrounding towns that has a great vegan sushi option. Namely, vegetable maki roll is very good. While most other sushi places in the area offer very bland vegan options like a cucumber roll or avocado roll and nothing else re: rolls, Mizo sushi vegetable maki roll offers a nice combination of various textures and flavors all in one. So, a nice place to get vegan sushi in Cranford.And if you go to NYC, I super highly recommend Beyond Sushi, a fully vegan restaurant offering “gourmet” sushi experience. Minds and taste buds of both vegans and non-vegans are guaranteed to be blown away. That would be a Michelin-star grade experience.“

“Tokyo Hibachi in Springfield, NJ, is a really cool place. It’s got a mix of old Japanese style and modern vibes, making it a great spot for any kind of dinner.What’s really great about Tokyo Hibachi is how they stick to kosher food but still make it taste super delicious and authentic, just like traditional Japanese meals. Everything they serve is made with top-notch ingredients, and you can tell they put a lot of effort into making their food both look and taste amazing.The people working at Tokyo Hibachi are super nice and really good at their jobs. They make sure everyone is happy and gets what they need, especially when it comes to special food requirements.Tokyo Hibachi isn’t just a regular restaurant; it’s a place where they really care about keeping kosher while serving fantastic Japanese food. It’s a must-visit spot in Springfield, whether you live there or are just passing through.“

“I have been coming to this place since it opened. I order their food once a week and NEVER had nothing but wonderful meals from them. The go for the raw sushi. Staff is so warm and friendly! The food is fresh and always top quality!!!!! I will be ordering tomorrow!!!There were times I couldn’t order what I wanted because the chef will not work with the highest quality fish and I take that as the ultimate compliment to their customers.Sushi is seriously stunning here!“

“We ordered online at noon and requested our food to be delivered by 5pm. We received our delicious 6 dinners for Mother’s Day at 5pm from a very friendly driver who was an employee of the restaurant. The food was beyond our expectations. Highly recommend.“

“The food is yummy every time. The portions are fair, and the poke bowl tastes really nice with a lot of food in it, the chicken special is also a great dish and I highly recommend this placeDietary restrictions: Can easily be a low sodium meal“

“Editing my review since it's been a few years: this has easily become our new favorite spot for sushi, whether it be dining in or take out. The staff is always friendly, and everything is delicious and fresh. Just a note: the space inside is small, only a handful of tables.“

“The best small sushi place in the East Brunswick area! The waitress is a sweet heart and their all very friendly. The food is amazing and the price is super great. I personally recommend the Bento Box or the large platter if you have a big party.“

“Their General Tso's chicken is amazing! I stop by there every Friday on my way home from NY and I love it! And sometimes I get delivery and they are always on time and the food is fresh and hot! I highly recommend this restaurant. And they have sushi too!“

“Since Covid this place has only become takeout, but it never disappoints. Food is always ready in a timely manner and the sushi is always fresh. I have not had a bad experience here, and the prices are very reasonable. My go-to Sushi spot every single time!“

“Staten islands best kept secret, the best in Staten island with some very creative new options every week and excellent martinis. Pistachio martini is a must try and so is the Avacodo tuna salad served in an Avacodo.. The service is excellent and so are the prices. Thank you Misaki, your the best..❤️?“

“I visited Kona Grill on a bustling Saturday, eager to try them out based on recommendation from a friend.The night kicked off with a mixed bag of cocktails; the New Old Fashioned, revamped with Jim Beam Vanilla Whiskey, was a delightful twist on a classic, boasting a unique texture that impressed me. Similarly, "The Rum Drink" was an excellent summer refreshment—light yet satisfying. Unfortunately, not all drinks hit the mark. The Electric Lemonade was overly sour, reminiscent of Warheads candy, and the Cucumber Southside was dominated by an overpowering cucumber flavor that eclipsed its mojito roots.Appetizers were a similarly varied affair. The Chicken Satay was adequate though unremarkable compared to Thai versions elsewhere, and it suffered from a stingy portion of otherwise tasty peanut sauce. The Fire Dragon Roll, meant to dazzle with its flamed alcohol-infused sauce, ended up a disaster as the sushi absorbed too much of the vodka(?), significantly detracting from its enjoyment and effectively ruining the dish.Main courses painted a more positive picture. Although the 10oz Prime Rib, which I requested medium, arrived well-done, it was still enjoyable enough not to warrant a return to the kitchen. The star of the evening was undoubtedly the Macadamia Nut Chicken—a unique and flavorful dish with a wonderfully crunchy macadamia crust and a delectable sauce that both my companion and I found exceptional.Dessert was a high note on which to conclude our meal. We shared a slice of carrot cake, a perfect balance of flavors with just the right amount of sweetness, and mercifully free of raisins—a common pet peeve. It might just be the best carrot cake we’ve had in a restaurant.Service was exemplary and even a manger stopped by to see how everything was going and comped the carrot cake for us for the birthday. The interior was fine but the window seat we sat by had a lot of bird poop on the windows when lookout. Just made a note on that.Kona Grill offers some standout dishes, particularly in the main courses and desserts, the inconsistency in the starters and some drinks could be improved. The venue has potential for a great dining experience if it irons out these kinks.“

“Let me start by saying the porterhouse for two was cooked to perfection, the shrimp/calamari were so spectacular I could have ate two dishes by myself. The food was made even better by the superb service by our waiter Alexander. Next time I go here I will be requesting him as our server.“

“I am writing this express my utmost satisfaction with my recent visit to Wasabi House. Being a first-time customer, I was immediately greeted by the warm and friendly staff. Their eagerness to please and provide excellent service, along with the impeccable food and inviting atmosphere, truly made my dining experience top-notch.From start to finish, every aspect of my visit exceeded my expectations. The staff's attentiveness and genuine concern for ensuring my satisfaction contributed greatly to the positive experience. Not only were they accommodating, but their knowledge and enthusiasm for the menu made the overall service truly exceptional.I cannot recommend Wasabi House enough to others seeking a remarkable dining experience. The impeccable quality of the food, coupled with the outstanding service, truly sets this establishment apart. I am eager to share my positive experience with my friends and family, as I believe they too will thoroughly enjoy their time at the restaurant.Once again, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful experience I had at Wasabi House. I will undoubtedly be returning in the future and look forward to further indulging in the delectable dishes and friendly ambiance.Thank you for your time and attention. Please do not hesitate to reach out if any further information is required.Warm regards,“

“I’ve eaten sushi all over the world but I can honestly say they have the best and the freshest sushi out there. Very friendly service. The owner is always there to make sure that everything is top of the line. I highly recommend this place!“

“Like their sushi(especially specialty ones). Usually, do takeout. My last takeout was delayed for 40 min(first time ever) due to absolute "customer jam". Usually, they are half empty when I order, this time, they were packed, and there was a line waiting too.So despite huge delay - still 5 stars.. They provided me a small table after it became available, brought some tea while I waited, and even added some extras while being absolutely apologetic for the whole issue. Have no hard feeling whatsoever - guys really try their very best.“

“Great little hidden gem if u like sushi! I myself prefer sashimi with a bowl of brown rice on the side( better value for me). The pieces were good portions and extremely fresh! The owner Ron was very personable and engaging! Go here and you will not be disappointed!!!!“

“This particular Fushimi is my favorite. Food and service is always amazing.Drinks are delicious, sushi always fresh and delicious, place has a sexy ambiance to it. A must try is the sashimi tuna pizza and the K oysters. Presentation of food is always amazing.“

“This place just does everything incredibly well. Food service decor it’s just top shelf all the way. A must visit if you’re visiting and if you’re from the area you probably already know. As an added plus they support local school PTO’s too. ❤️??“

“Fresh tasting fish and not overly cold. The specialty rolls were great as well. Kids loved everything and even fought over the last salmon sashimi. The portions are reasonable. We got in around 5:15 and it was empty at least on the main floor; there was a party on the second floor where the hibachi is. It's quiet on a Thursday night.“

“Ordered the pork belly ramen and a sushi roll; the sushi was good to my taste (especially for the price), although I’m hardly a connoisseur.As for the ramen, I thought the noodles were decent, and the pork broth was extremely good. There weren’t a lot of extras—just chives, corn, and a soft boiled egg—but it was a really good sized portion for the price. The only real disappointment was that the soft boiled egg was in fact hard boiled, and the chasu seemed a little bland.“

“There are a few words to describe Sakae Sushi.FASTCONVENIENTDELICIOUSSakae ALWAYS satisfies the need for great Sushi. Being so close to home they are our go-to at any moment's notice! They can customize any dish and make it a point to provide excellent service to whomever walks in that door or places an order online/by phone! I've not had better in the area!!Keep up the excellence!!!“

“Randomly stumbled upon Sushi Saga after our first AYCE sushi option had a ridic wait. I had called and said there was no wait. We arrived and we were seated immediately. They had the usual AYCE sushi restaurant items- various sushi rolls, hand rolls, sashimi, hot appetizers, small plate dishes, and desserts. We placed our order of a few of the hot and cold apps and sushi and sashimi. And gave our completed order forms to the waiter. We loved the variety of the hot apps and omg they were all so good. The seafood medley was my favorite and it was served on a clam shell. Nice presentation. The crab rangoons were amazing with the Thai chili dipping sauce. The sushi was served altogether on a big platter. All were made to order and was so fresh. So delicious! Overall we enjoyed our meal and the food was great. Service was great and the entire staff was super friendly. We will definitely be back again.“

“Good food. Good service. Could do without the delivery people sleeping in the back I guess but whatever. Place is top quality.Vegetarian options: It's a pan Asian place. There's plenty of veg options though I rarely order that personally.Dietary restrictions: If you ask them to remove something they will.Kid-friendliness: There's a kida menu“

“You can't go wrong with Suzuki. The sushi is always on point and my wife loves their Beef Negamaki! We do a lot of take out from there and the food quality is great as take out so I can only imagine how great it would be if we had time to dine in. Even though we haven't had time to dine in (we plan to in the near future) when I pick up our order the atmosphere in the restaurant is always so inviting. We will continue to order from this great restaurant and their staff is awesome!“

“This spot is BYOB. I thought that may be important to mention, although I always do takeout. I've had their teriyaki tofu and teriyaki chicken dinner bento box along with plenty of their sushi rolls and the food is always so rich and fresh. Their Godzilla sushi roll is very yummy as well. When I pick up my food, it is always ready to go and I never have had to wait. Highly recommend.“

“Went to Ninja Sushi this past weekend with some friends. Their food was pretty good. I got Scallops Teriyaki. It was good. I had never had Scallops made that way before, but I liked them.Interestingly at Ninja, there are no physical menus and the waiters don't take your order: you scan a QR code with your phone and chose your order online. You then press Order and the waiters will bring the food. Overall, it was a decent place. Very quiet on a Saturday afternoon (we were the only ones in there).“

“Not sure what the low rating is about but i enjoyed my time at kuraService was good we got sat down right away on a tuesday and were explained how things workOrdered miso soup which came on a fast top belt which comes directly to table - you can also have fresh made to order sushi. Drinks come on a robot. It could have some lights or sound if you get too close i almost ran in to itMiso soup was a bit too salty. The sushi was good there was a good variety with some premium options and interesting flavors. Sure it doesnt beat the restaurant but remember you are paying for convenience and speed.Ordered 21 plates for two and bill was about $100. Didnt get dessert so expect to pay around 50-75 per person to get fullEverything is clean and the restaurant is well organizedPretty much everything is done automatically even the check. Tipping is not required but i did leave a small tip since there was some personal service.These automated restaurants are pretty cool if you want something quick and easy and if you dont want to deal with people!Download app for points - enjoy the future of dining!“

“Best sushi restaurant in the area! They’re really good at doing special rolls that are complex without being so over the top that you lose the flavor. BYOB and prices are similar to other restaurants in the area. Reservations usually aren’t needed and service is good. Love the white dragon roll and their pork gyoza and crispy duck appetizersDietary restrictions: Vegetarian and gluten free friendly“
