37 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lincoln Park

“Unbelievable sushi in Lincoln Park at surprisingly affordable prices for the quality of sushi they deliver. Have been here 4 times and have never been disappointed with any of the rolls we’ve ordered. Fresh and delicious always. Must try if you want top notch sushi in Northern NJ.“

“This place was so cozy and lovely, with such tasty food and delightful service! It was so kind of the owner to give us so many free samples with our food! We ordered the (very well priced) sushi combos, which were two special rolls with miso soup (and I got a boba and some kani salad) and it was delicious. The owner also gave us a pot of green tea, veggie gyoza, the house salad, and some blueberries at the end. She came over often to ask how we were doing. We ended up with leftovers because there was so much food. It was also a very cute atmosphere with doodles from the customers all over the walls. I would definitely come back!Vegetarian options: There seemed to be at least one vegetarian option in all the sections.Parking: It was relatively quiet when we went so the lot might fill up if there are more customers but I had no problems.Kid-friendliness: There were markers, notepads and a sheet to doodle on, if any customers came with kids. I didn’t but I doodled anyway lol.“

“I always say to people that I bring here that they serve flavor bombs that explode in your mouth. This place is a true experience. Atmosphere and service are always top notch and the food never disappoints. They serve non-vegan and vegan items so it is a great place to go with a mixed dietary restriction group. They can even take care of Gluten Free people as well. Would give this place 6 stars if I could.Vegetarian options: They offer vegan options on their menuDietary restrictions: Gluten Free options“

“Food is delicious, greeting from the host station was non existent, server, Brian, was attentive and delivered hot food quickly.The pork chashu in the Tonkatsu ramen was not good (tough, off-putting flavor) despite having some of the best broth I've had.Vegetable gyoza were fantastic!Recommended.“

“Decor was of a bistro and had ample space. The staff very welcoming, helpful, and professional.This is farm to table restaurant The food was high quality, freshly prepared but came out in a timely fashion. The grilled whole Bronzino and the pork skewers really went above and beyond for the little touches that might get overlooked show a real pride in their food and service.The owner definitely went above and beyond to make a great experience even better. We will definitely be back again soon.“

“It's been years since I've been to this place and I must say that the quality of the sushi, the extra large rolls, and most importantly, the taste makes this place stand out among the other sushi places in the area. Owners are friendly and personable and the fish is always fresh. If you haven't been to this place in a while, I absolutely recommend giving it another try.“

“What can I say. So good. Service / atmosphere /food. We ordered the Chef’s Roll, Salmon Skin, the Caterpillar and Pink Lady. They were all good but my favorite was the Chef’s Roll.The only critic I can add is that seating could be more comfortable. But otherwise just great food.“

“I’ve been coming here since moving to area 3 years ago & always loved their food.Last night after taking a large takeaway order, the bottom of bag gave way & all the food fell out. Within 10 minutes I received a new order.Please go & support this small business. They were so sweet during the whole situation I’m making sure I’m going back again for another delicious meal.“

“If I could give this place a 10 I would. We used to go to this intimate BYO sushi place every friday on the way home from work. We would meet at the sushi bar and get to say hi to the regulars...felt like home. The owners are amazing, welcoming and remember their customers...what we like and don't like. I never had to tell them I wanted no ginger or a diet coke because they remembered exactly what I like. The fish is so fresh and the menu is very creative. The sushi chef puts his heart into every dish and is so happy for you to come up before you go to let him know how you loved your meal. This is our go-to when we have friends in town because we always know we will have a consistent level 10 meal and a really fun time. We miss going every week since we moved but we make sure to go visit our sushi fam as much as possible because we were so spoiled by them!“

“Outside of Tokyo and NYC, this is the best Omakase we have found in NJ. Flavors were amazing ( although not super authentic or traditional) everything was unbelievably high quality and super fresh. The blends of flavors were outstanding. A bit pricey ($150 for 18 pcs) but will definitely be adding it to our must go to places in “

“We ordered the mizu, kiss of summer, Naruto, jade, and Verona and they were all so fresh and delicious. Lots of fish and lots of flavor. I do think the mango could be more ripe though. Tap water also wasn't my favorite but don't let that prevent you from getting this great sushi. Although we couldn't have any of the sauces that came with the rolls since they had gluten, they did have GF soy sauce which was great. The server didn't have much personality and we did have to reconfirm what sauces had gluten and which didn't and had to ask for a second GF soy sauce as well even though in the beginning we did say there are two of us. Pretty empty at 5pm on a Sunday and plenty of free parking (on Sundays) around the corner.“

“I love sushi and have gone to a number of restaurants in the NY/ NJ area. Some big name places in NYC and northern NJ. My search ended when a dear friend suggested we go to Wabi Sabi. Since that suggestion , our family and invited friends go on a regular basis and we have never been disappointed. The sushi is the freshest and Tommy offers fish you are never see at other restaurants. They offer different specials every week based on the season. It is not just the fish but the presentation and experience. Alice and her staff are extremely attentive and add to the experience. The final treat are the desserts which alone are worth the trip ! The deserts are also based on the season and change. Bravo and never change“

“Dining here was a wonderful experience. The rolls were delicious (the Jersey Roll was out of this world), the service was top tier, and the staff were so friendly. One of us left our phones behind by mistake. When we got back we were greeted warmly and even given two mochi ice cream desserts on the house. We will absolutely be returning.“

“I went for dinner with my son who loves sushi. We immediately were greeted warmly by the staff and were made to feel comfortable.The sushi rolls, gyoza and soup we ordered were fantastic and the prices were very reasonable. We went for the all you can eat which was a very good value.In addition, they brought us a roll and appetizer on the house. Overall it was a great experience, and I look forward to coming back.“

“First time here ordered hibachi rice and noodles plus vegetable potstickers very yummy. Not sure about all the reviews about bad customer service because my experience was great.Vegetarian options: They have a few but they definitely need more and to make their teriyaki sauce vegan currently it has a chicken base in it.“

“My husband and I live near by & finally went to Asahi Sushi Ramen! The service was wonderful, they were quick and answered any questions we had. The food was a 10/10 it looked & tasted delicious. It’s DEFINITELY worth stopping by. They have prices you can’t beat! The chicken teriyaki came out HOT (also came with a side salad & side of rice) and the presentation was great, the chicken ramen came in a large bowl and I had leftovers to take home! :)“

“This was my first visit, and surely won’t be my last. Upon walking in I was greeted kindly, and the place smelled fresh. Ordered the Las Vegas roll and it definitely tops any sushi place by me. I can surely see why this restaurant has such a high rating, and I’d highly recommend trying this place out! ??“

“I've order from here dozens of times. They have the best selection of specialty rolls and more in the area. The team behind Nigiri is super respectful and always greats anyone walking in with a loud "hello" or "welcome". I love coming here for sushi anytime. Thank you Nigiri for being so great“

“This was my second visit to Tempura Place. It was a Saturday at 3:30pm. I had never eaten any kind of sushi in my 50 years and I decided to dive in here. I've ordered the spicy tuna and the spicy crab. Sense a theme? I guess a total of one person could technically eat-in but this is primarily take-out. I was informed it would take 10 minutes to prepare but it was done before that. I watched Korean Broadcasting Company on the television as I waited. I experienced pleasant service and great food. Waribashi chopsticks were included.“

“My sister and I decided last minute to go out to dinner and we landed at Toro Sushi. I actually used Google assistant to call the restaurant for me and reserve a table 15 minutes before our arrival. Toro was half full when we arrived at 7pm on a Saturday but, by 8pm it was full so, our timing was perfect. Everything we ordered was excellent... edamame, tuna avocado salad, Congo roll, New York roll, tuna roll and salmon roll. Service was wonderful. We weren't rushed and food came out quickly. I'm definitely bringing my husband here the next time we visit my sister.“

“One of the best places to get good sushi. They have a great selection and good drinks too. I always enjoy myself here. Just be careful walking from the parking lot to the restaurant in the dark. It’s not well lit and there isn’t a side walk. Cars pulling in or out won’t be able to see you.“

“Had Dynamite avocado spicy tuna roll ten piece..was a beautiful presentation and a delicious complex tastes with the avocado which added creamy texture , had the spiciness of the sauce, the tuna, and the sweet crunch of the apple was bursting with layers of flavor. The miss soup was exceptionally good. Would definitely recommend this little gem for any sushi lover. What it lacks in atmosphere it makes up for in flavor. Pricing is reasonable.“

“Absolutely amazing of a place! First time going here, it is small but however, the place is adorable. Walked right in, greeted by friendly staff members. Sat right down and ordered. The wait time was reasonable, it did take someTime for a small meal but it was still definitely worth the wait of it. The food was absolutely delicious, the flavoring to it with the spices made it really splendid.The service like said before was fabulous, staff were very friendly and felt very heart warming that they are here to take care of you while you’re enjoying your food.Atmosphere was good! Music really fitted the fit of the restaurant vibes. People talking and the lighting was perfect.Overall, this restaurant was really good especially the food and the amazing kind staff who are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to many others around the local area for some good Japanese food. The wide variety of different foods made it really stand out.Parking: Free parking lot however it is very small, if busy you have to park on streets.“

“I took my very good friend Gary to Kyoto’s to celebrate his birthday. We both had the Sushi Deluxe which was exquisite! Nancy was our server. Her service was excellent. The owner came over to wish Gary a happy birthday and they even made us fried Oreo’s for a delicious birthday desert. It was a wonderful time. Definitely worth the price. I highly recommend going to Kyoto’s.“

“It is a friendly family business. We ordered hibachi, tom yum soup, and agedashi tofu. The hibachi was okay but a bit greasy. The agedashi tofu was very greasy. The tom yum soup used celery and carrots instead of the expected ingredients (i.e. no galangal, lemongrass, or lime leaves were detected). Thankfully, the soup was not greasy. Overall, though, most of the food tasted like greasy Chinese food (with some MSG and without douchi or shitake), and I would give it fewer stars, but it was a good amount for the price, and still edible after rubbing some grease away. I suspect the sushi is better but don't like raw fish. It came within 10 minutes despite other patrons being there, including pickup orders. I wouldn't return here, mostly because we almost ran someone over while driving there, who suddenly exited his car while he was driving in the middle of the street, and the food was not my type.“

“Just ordered food here for a lazy Monday night where I didn't feel like cooking myself. Food was delivered within 20 minutes, HOT, and good tasting. Especially with inflation, there is a decent amount of meat in each wanton & meat dish I ordered. I usually order from a different spot because it's closer, but will be ordering delivery from here moving forward!“

“Circle Farm Sushi is an absolute gem of a restaurant! From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. But of course, the real star of the show is the food. Circle Farm Sushi serves up some of the freshest and most delicious sushi I have ever tasted. Every piece of fish is impeccably prepared, with the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or a newcomer to the cuisine, you are sure to be impressed by the quality and variety of offerings on the menu.One of the things I love about Circle Farm Sushi is the attention to detail that goes into every dish. The sushi chefs clearly take pride in their work, and it shows in the beautiful presentation of each plate. But beyond just the aesthetics, the food is truly top-notch. From the classic tuna and salmon rolls to more adventurous options like the sea urchin nigiri, every bite is a delight.Overall, I cannot recommend Circle Farm Sushi highly enough. If you are looking for a great meal , this restaurant is the perfect choice. With its impeccable service, inviting atmosphere, and truly outstanding cuisine, Circle Farm Sushi is a must-visit for anyone who loves Japanese food.“

“Ahh this place is great! Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. The food was really great; very fresh. They also had a TON of veggie rolls and options. We tried 5 or 6 different vegetarian rolls and they were all delicious. And there was still a bunch more to try! The shop is small but doesn't feel claustrophobic; we sat in the corner and did not feel crowded by the other diners. The prices are very fair as well. Will definitely be back!“

“The service was excellent. Sushi Lounge is open late. A benefit of those who work until the late in the evening. The specialty sushi rolls are very well thought out combinations of fish, shrimp, and vegetables. The bar is full service with Japanese and American beer on tap.The bar area of the restaurant is separated from the restaurant table area.I look forward to returning and trying more of the sushi rolls. ?Parking: The Sushi Lounge is located in a strip mall on RT 46 West.“

“Best sushi spot in all of Passaic county. Only sushi spot i come to now. Service is incredible and food is always unreal. Cannot recommend this place more. Top notch spot. Their spicy tuna mango tartar is one of my favorite appetizers to get!“

“Food was great, a roll was missing, an appetizer got swapped, but everything was super delicious and grubhub helped reverse my pay for the incorrections. It was a large meal, I tried some of the chef special rolls. Omfg so good, thanks for making up my bday dinner, sushi is literally all I wantedDietary restrictions: Nothing from sushi restaurants tend to contain milk unless it's a cream cheese item, lactose intolerant kids unite!“

“Late-night hibachi chicken togo.Clear soup, lo mein noodles, egg fried rice, with white 'yummy' sauce over hibachi chicken and veggies. Only $15 before taxOpen till 10PM Friday-Saturday, 9:30PM for the rest of the week. I usually come here for poké bowls but definitely recommend trying the rest of the menu“

“This was my first visit to Arigato. It was a Saturday at 5pm. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Donburi but was refused since it appears to be a take-out only item for some reason so I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki dish. I enjoyed my meal while listening to background pop tunes and watching traffic pass by. The miso soup was great as was my meal. I got my money's worth including white rice which I added to the teriyaki.“

“Don't let the outside fool you! The food here is TOP notch. The interior really took us by surprise, as it looks lively and new. My girlfriend and I ordered the spicy cucumber salad, hamachi, and million dollar roll. The spicy cucumber salad was fresh and a great way to start. The hamachi was really good, the fish was fresh and the skin was nice and crispy. The million dollar roll was really good. You can definitely tell quality ingredients were being used. Our service was prompt and the waitress was very kind. Having lived in parsippany for 3 years and this being our first time here, I wish I would've noticed this spot a bit sooner. We will definitely be back!“

“Very tasty. Cute inside for a small place, works for a low key date night for sure. Good service, everyone is very friendly. Easy to pop in and order quick take away. Can't beat the giant parking lot, always easy to find a spot. Good prices, great for catering platters too!“

“The lunch menu is soybean paste stew + grilled mackerel, kimchi stew + grilled mackerel… The price is cheap and the taste is great~~I would like to thank owner Rissi for allowing me to eat such delicious Korean food without having to go to Palpak.. hahaAh..I think sushi lunch is best when eaten lightly?????????????“
