35 Best Japanese Restaurants near Middletown

“We have been ordering take-out from Rainbow for two years. The sushi is consistently fresh, service is excellent and delivery is quick. Today we ordered steak hibachi for the first time; it was delicious. Even our son who is a picky eater cleaned his plate!“

“Amazing, family-run business that never compromises on quality! Even as Omakase has grown, their sushi is always made with the freshest ingredients. I can’t wait to see how they expand upon their catering business!“

“Sono has always been our go to for delicious fresh sushi. Tonight there was a delay with our pick up....it's lent. We get it - they even gave us 2 free sodas to apologize. Then 2 hours later they send us an apology text. Honesty and apologetic. Now that's a classy move!“

“Excellent restaurant. My wife and I love their food. Extremely high quality food at great pricing. Every meal we’ve ordered is delicious.“

“In town for an event, 8 of us went out for dinner. Everything was so delicious, the 3 of us still in town the next day went back the next night for round two.I personally enjoyed the Red Curry Chicken and Beef Pad Thai. Especially of note is their General Tso's Chicken which was ordered both nights, as it is mostly chicken, not cheap breading like a lot of other places. The Shrimp Shumi were also reordered on day two. The prices were completely reasonable as well. I would 100% return to this restaurant for round three.

Parking: Parking was easy as not a lot of people were there when we were, however I could see it getting crowded when busy.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is an outdoor ramp if needed.“

“First time here and the place was packed! Nice atmosphere and most importantly the food was delicious. Recommend the ramen!“

“Great sushi place. It's a very small restaurant that could only hold a few tables. Food is great. I did take out here because it was much quicker. I would come back again for the sushi rolls. There is plenty of parking in the lot. There are great lunch specials here. Food came quick as soon as I ordered. You can free the sushi chef making the food from the front door. It was good to see them creating the food.“

“This is my favorite sushi place. Top quality sushi, top notch chefs, family run business !!! Awesome My favorite is their brown rice tea, eel special and smoke salmon sashimi“

“Great food and excellent service. I’ve been going here for many years.“

“Came here with my family after watching a movie, and we were very pleased with the experience. The miso soup was honestly some of the best I’ve had. It wasn’t overly salty like at many other sushi places, where the saltiness can drown out the other flavors.

Everything tasted fresh, and the rolls were especially good. They weren’t overloaded with rice and were packed with plenty of filling. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and left very satisfied.“

“The sushi is so fresh and yummy! I ordered the salmon and mango sushi burrito with eel sauce and it was delicious. High quality sushi burritos are hard to find, but I definitely recommend these! The burrito came with a drink and was $16 (a great deal imo!). I ordered delivery and the food arrived fresh.“

“Absolutely awesome. I would highly recommend this place“

“Fantastic!!!!!! Absolutely fantastic!“

“A little secret! Really good food! Tasty, fresh, and made with love.“

“We dine at Kobe every week! They have the best sushi and hibachi around. Our favorite waitress is Lena who is always so attentive and greets us with a smile. She already knows our favorite sushi rolls and always makes our visit pleasant. Our favorite hibachi cook is Joe. He always makes us laugh and makes our dining experience a memorable one! We will see you next week!

“The food is fresh and beautifully presented. Waitstaff is so helpful. The restaurant is immaculate. Our favorite restaurant. It is worth the hour and a half drive to get there.“

“One of our favorite Japanese restaurants. It is a small place in a shopping center with some seating (we have never had a problem getting seated and definitely plenty of folks who do pickup).

We usually get a mix of the vegetarian sushi options, different appetizers, and I always get their fried rice...it is my favorite. Our picker eater daughter is always excited to go here. The staff are always very friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly. Definitely recommend if you are in the area and want something quick and tasty.“

“Fantastic“

“Amazing tuna poke bowl! Will be back!“

“Quality sushi spot with excellent specials rolls

We ordered takeout several times and also dined in at Yosuki Sushi in 2025. It's a typical small Japanese restaurant like the ones you often find on shopping plazas. It has a pretty, minimalistic decor, and a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Takeout orders were always ready exactly on time. Dine-in service was ok, though it could be more attentive.

The regular sushi rolls are very fresh, flavorful, with little rice, and taste great.
The special rolls are the real highlight - they are delicious. Our favorites were Tuna Lover Roll, Summer Roll, Twin Tower Roll, Fantastic Roll, and Holiday Roll, though all others we tried were also very good.
The teriyaki Chicken was juicy and flavorful, my daughter loved it and finished the entire plate.
Appetizers we tried
Pork Gyoza - excellent
Pork Shumai - unremarkable
Beef Negimaki - excellent! Warm, juicy, with tender, not chewy beef
Tuna Tartare - a bit disappointing. It was essentially large tuna chunks on a bed of avocado with a thin layer of sauce spread on the plate. Tuna Tartare should be more than just tuna cubes. Make the cuts finer, mix in some dressing, lime juice, sesame seeds, cucumber, etc. to make it a distinct and balanced dish.
For dessert, the Tempura Ice Cream and Green Tea Mochi were fine, nothing special. The tempura could be crunchier.

Overall, Yosuki Sushi is a solid neighborhood Japanese place with fresh sushi and excellent special rolls. We’ll definitely return, and we can easily recommend it for sushi staples.“

“For my family, this is where the highest quality and best prepared ‘Japanese flavors and Asian-inspired dishes [lives] in the heart of Red Bank, NJ’. First restaurant I thought of recently when in dire need of a comforting and safe meal that was both familiar and yet exciting at the same time. If I was to embody Remy the Rat from Disney Pixar’s ‘Ratatouille’, this would be my ‘Gusteau’s’. My culinary sanctuary. For many, asian cuisine is seen as a last minute idea and has been portrayed in media as the ‘take-out go to’ which often flattens and stereotypes the flavors and experiences associated with the cuisine. To me, this restaurant is more than a last minute decision. It feels like a homemade meal just for you, dine-in or takeout.“

“Are you open for dining and do you offer the all you can eat“

“This place is a gem! I liked it better than sushi that cost 3x as much, everything was really fresh and the special rolls were really creative combinations, we had the Krusty Krab roll and the Black Angel Roll and were blown away. The fried rice had a really great flavor too, a sign of a great chef to make fried rice memorable!! We eat sushi a lot and I've never felt so strongly about a place that I went and wrote a review, this is really something special!!“

“The food is fresh and beautifully presented. Waitstaff is so helpful. The restaurant is immaculate. Our favorite restaurant. It is worth the hour and a half drive to get there.“

“the service and the food“

“Highly recommend! In a strip Mall but the place has a great atmosphere and there is so much selection. We just got green and red curry Thai which was generous and some of the best I’ve had . They also have a hibachi grill which looks delicious and fun! Wait staff and food service was the best I’ve had from anywhere in quite some time! Walking distance from the Crystal Inn👏“

“Great sushi and nice atmosphere. This is one of our favorite places in town.“

“Ginza is hands down one of the best spots for sushi in the area. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and the presentation was on point. The all you can eat menu is a huge plus with tons of options, and everything comes out quick without sacrificing quality. The staff was super friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to regularly.“

“I used to order delivery from here before I started working in the area. The staff are super friendly with lots of great options, I have their food often and I’ve never had a bad or sub-par experience. It’s always been great and would 10/10 recommend to others.“

“Solid bowl that hit the spot and warmed the body on a cold January afternoon. Pickled mushroom provided a mild tang to offset the richness of the broth, jammy-ish egg, and fatty pork belly. Staff was friendly and readily answered menu questions“

“Happiness is when your favorite sushi restaurant delivers to your front door.“

“Great sushi! Always fresh :)“

“Really good food!!

I understand what people are saying about having to wait a long time for their order to be ready. I wish they accepted online payment for pickup orders because it seems that they don’t start cooking orders until customers come in and pay.“

“we go here often. the owners, Joyce and Brian are the nicest and always welcome us..the staff is wonderful. they know my son, and when he comes in, they bring him his drink and order without even asking..i highly recommend.“
