“Went here last night with a friend! Service was lightning fast, and the noodles had just the right bite to them!“

“Excellent Japanese store for snacks and food alike. Came here after dinner to pick up a few snacks, and their food selection was humongous. They have snacks, drinks, desserts, fresh sushi, cooking items, and more! I got 3 snacks for a little over $5 and they were all great. Would love to come back to try some of their sushi!“

“I tried this new sushi spot and grabbed a to-go order—it was so good! The sushi and rolls were fresh and delicious. The best part is the bosses are the sweetest and so kind—it really made the experience awesome. I’m coming back for sure.“

“Mizu is a fantastic sushi spot, eat in or take out. They have the best lunch specials in the area and the food is always fresh and tasty. Employees are kind and service is good too. Definitely check them out for a casual meal or pick something up to go!“

“Several years ago, with an apparent ownership or management change, we had the worst meal and dining experience ever. We had refused to return. Yesterday, having had our 4th of July cookout earlier in the weekend, we decided to give them an opportunity to reclaim past glory. Well, were we surprised. While the dining room was, as we expected, empty of diners for the 4th, a healthy delivery and take-out flow was apparent. We each ordered from the Specials menu featuring hand-made noodles. My Cumin Beef and Won Ton soup was terrific! My wife’s meal, though slightly oily for her taste, was likewise a hit. The apparently well-regarded Sushi bar looked professional and appetizing. Our server listened carefully to our order preferences and all was delivered promptly and correct. There are two menus. One with largely classic Chinese-American usuals and the other with two pages of authentic Chinese variants. Don’t miss the hand-made noodles!“

“Food and service was fantastic“

“Great place, delicious food. My go to restaurant when I want Japanese food.“

“Ain't nothing like your delivery lady texting you to come get your good. Great customer obsession!“

“Authentic Japanese sushi and comfort food. All of their fish is fresh, their sushi rice is perfect, and their miso soup is authentic miso.We stopped by for lunch and were blown away. Great, welcoming service. The interior is cozy. They serve fresh green tea, which is always a plus!This is the best quality sushi and Japanese cuisine you’ll find in all of Princeton.“

“Love to eat in the dining room here. Haven't tried their hibachi but that menu is still available for dining. Everything has been delicious. The staff is friendly and fast. One of the best Japanese restaurants around the area.

Parking: Shared parking lot for shopping center.“

“Charlie and Sharon are an incredible team. The food is amazing!“

“Best Chinese and Japanese food in yardley!!!“

“Good food“

“Delicious 😋 thank you for your wonderful service during these tuff times..“

“I'd give Jade Asian 14 stars if it was possible. Being vegan/vegetarian take-out can tricky. Between the tofu dishes, and sushi, there's a good amount of options, and the food is incredibly good.I highly recommend the green curry tofu.“

“THE Sushi was excellent and fresh. I had Salmon Roll Hand made and Tuna Roll enjoyed both.Also order Wonton Soup was great. You can't judge a book nye it's cover. Drove bye there didn't look like much. I ordered Door Dash I'd order from them again“

“Best sushi around I love this place I go and get the all you can eat at least once a month“

“So I've never been much of a sushi person, but my last trip here with friends changed my mind on that so now I'm locked in sushi mode ! I really like the all you can eat aspect so I can sample a little bit of everything and I really enjoyed my Seafood Udon, mackerel and crab sashimi, Edison rolls and more ! Want to come here soon !“

“I eat here as often as I can and every time has been a great experience. It’s a great self service restaurant where you can enjoy some alone time in a nice, clean environment and eat a hearty meal.

Some of my favorite entrees include the Spicy Asian Noodles, the Soft Tofu Stew with seafood, the Black Bean Noodles, any of the K-Maki/Kimbap, and the Sweet and Sour Pork, which is especially great because you can choose to have the sauce on the side so it stays crispy when you take home leftovers. The Hot Stone Bibimbap also seems to be quite popular, but I’ve yet to try it—no matter what you order, you can count on it being tasty and authentic. The portion sizes are also quite large for the price, which I appreciate.

Additionally, the service is great and the workers are all very nice. The owner is especially attentive, always noticing whether you may need extra serving spoons, baby utensils, etc. She also remembers every customer and their specific food preferences and treats everyone so kindly.

Overall, great local restaurant that I highly recommend!“

“Good service and good food for a low price. You get what you pay for!“

“The place is actually rarely that busy and not to come off as like really picky, but sometimes it feels like it takes a while for the drinks to be made considering the lack of customers, but it really makes up for it in the flavour. The drinks are super good. I mean personally I get the mangonada. It's not spicy at all. I mean it's stacking. It's not going to be spicy but it's still really good. I am hoping to try the other drinks though. There's an Asian dude that works there. He's super chill. Usually works to register. He's always super nice and was very helpful in letting us choose when it was our first time going there

Kid-friendliness: I mean it's a bunch of sweets. The kids are bound to like it“

“We love it! Our number one choice! Food is amazing! Always fresh and delicious. We love their sushi. Dinning in, the atmosphere is awesome. Always friendly and fast service. When taking out the food is just as good. Highly recommend!“

“Midori Japanese Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The ambiance is cozy yet stylish, perfect for a relaxed dining experience.

We started with the miso soup and gyoza, both of which were perfectly seasoned and delicious. The sushi was the real highlight — so fresh and beautifully presented. I highly recommend trying their specialty rolls; the Midori Roll was a flavor explosion!

The portion sizes are generous, and the quality of the ingredients is top-notch. For anyone looking for an authentic and reasonably priced Japanese meal, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!
Recommendation:
Naruto roll
Midori chips
Torched King Salmon roll
Imperial dragon roll“

“All you can eat!! Fresh fish!“

“Not sure why the reviews were bad. My salmon nigiri was excellent and soft despite looking a bit less presentable. The Beef Ho Fun was delicious and addictive with soft chewy rice noodles. The service was insane at around 2 lb. I weighed it because I diet. The spicy tuna hand roll was good. Prices are competitive and they deliver themselves, outside the apps.“

“You have to try the sweet potato tempura sushi. What a revelation! My omnivore friend and I had a great vegan meal here. There are several vegetarian options that won't make anyone feel deprived.“

“I really enjoyed these tasty and unique dishes they served . Fresh and delicious! The servers were helpful and very pleasant! Thank you for a very memorable dinner!“
