40 Best Sushi Bars 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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“5 Stars : Would Give More if I Could!
This sushi place is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with such warmth! it’s a sweet, cozy environment that makes you feel right at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and genuinely seem to care about your experience.

The menu is full of delicious options, and the quality is top-tier. The sashimi especially stands out—so fresh, perfectly cut, and just melts in your mouth. Every bite feels thoughtfully prepared. I’ve been to quite a few sushi spots, but this one truly stands out. If I could give more stars, I absolutely would. Highly recommend!“

I got the little chicken dumplings - veggie spring rolls - and the beef teriyaki lunch bowl and everything was super yummy.
The reviews about the service are kinda scary and i can’t comment on that Hanna girl- but what i can say is the food is worth the price !“

“Just the best Sushi and fried rice in Staten Island!! And, the service at this establishment is too notch! My hats off to the Chefs and the staff that really know how to take care of you! So, if you want a great Japanese meal, go to Cucumber on Hylan Blvd! You won’t be disappointed !!“

“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.“

“I usually order takeout. the food is good, fish is usually fresh sometimes I get a few pieces that aren’t great. I would like to see real pineapple used in the Thai brown fried rice. It’s very good except for the giant pieces of canned pineapple.“

“We found ourselves in the Red Bank area for an event and were looking for a late meal that wouldn’t break the bank. RB has a plethora of fantastic higher end restaurants but we were looking for quality at a good price and… we found it at Oriental Empire. Fusion offerings were pretty standard but the taste was amazing. Ordering the Pad See Ew and it was delicious, as good as I’ve had. Service was impeccable and a very relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Dining at Kobe Sushi & Hibachi is more than just a meal — it’s an experience. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance sets a calm and welcoming tone. The restaurant has a beautifully serene vibe, with soft lighting, tasteful decor, and a charming Koi pond near the entrance, complete with live fish. It’s a small detail, but it adds such a unique and peaceful touch to the whole atmosphere.

The highlight of the visit is, without a doubt, the hibachi experience. You’re seated at a shared table surrounding a large grill, where the chef prepares your entire meal right in front of you. It’s incredibly interactive and fun to watch. The chefs not only cook your food to perfection, but also perform entertaining knife tricks, fire displays, and playful gestures that make the whole experience lively and engaging — perfect for both adults and kids.

You get to customize your meal by choosing between noodles or rice, selecting your preferred meat (like chicken, steak, shrimp, or salmon), and picking your vegetables. Everything is made fresh and with great attention to detail. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste high-quality, and the flavors are delicious and satisfying.

Overall, Kobe Sushi & Hibachi is a fantastic choice whether you’re celebrating something special or just looking for a memorable night out. It offers a perfect mix of great food, relaxing ambiance, and interactive entertainment — a must-visit if you’re in the area.“

“Fantastic“

“My husband and I stopped at Eastern Sushi on our way back to the city from Atlantic City—and wow, we were seriously impressed. I had the Golden Salmon Roll (swapped the tobiko for masago) and it was super fresh with really high-quality fish. My husband got the hibachi scallops, which came out piping hot and perfectly cooked. Honestly, the food here is better than some spots we’ve tried in Manhattan. The restaurant itself isn’t fancy, but it’s very clean and the service was great. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area!“

“If you're a sushi lover looking for quality and quantity, this place is a hidden gem. The all-you-can-eat option is a dream come true — not just for the variety, but for the freshness and flavor packed into every bite.

The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in. The staff was warm, attentive, and fast without being pushy. You can tell they actually care that you’re having a good experience.

Now let’s talk about the star of the show: the Magic Salmon Rolls. Absolutely incredible. The salmon was buttery and fresh, perfectly paired with a unique combination of flavors that made each bite feel a little indulgent. Easily one of the best specialty rolls I’ve had in a long time.

Will definitely come back next time!“

“Great sushi! Always fresh :)“

“Delicious food, cozy interior, great service. BYOB.“

“My wife and I had the Six Course Prefix Meal. Everything was delicious. The service was great. Special Thanks for Tim for everything that he did.“
