30 Best Japanese Restaurants near Monroe

“The owners are the best they stay open 1 more hour after closing time & sushi 🍣 was great 🍣🥰“

“They are open every night, just not late. The miso is perfect. They have gluten free options like rice noodle pad thai and brown rice. My wife got the hibachi chicken and brown rice. I got the tuna lover and eel combo, pricey but I love eating a lot of sushi. The spicy tuna has a nice crunch to it. The eel sauce is simply divine! The only issue was the fish scale and extra fat in the eel. They also have ice cream, but no chocolate. The server was so nice and gave me orange peels bexause I'm lactose intolerant. I used to order ramen from here every month. Decided to finally eat in. They play calming techno music. There's a nice picture of Mt. Fuji and geishas. Some oriental lanturns at the bar. They store drinks in the corner, so you know what drinks they serve like canada dry and brisk.“

“Me and my family have had the Japanese and Chinese food here and they were both absolutely fresh, delicious, and well-portioned. The atmosphere was friendly, welcoming, and the service was impeccable. Would definitely recommend and would come back.“

“The mango special roll with shrimp tempura was a little slimy because mango was very ripe and cut into small slices which were falling off the roll. It was ok not great. I did not care at all for the consistency of the chicken in the noodles dish. I ate around the meat and just ate the noodles.“

“I had heard so many good things about Nikko's so I stopped by for a take out meal the other day. From the time I walked through the door, I had a great experience. The decor is really nice, the restaurant clean and the people working there are even nicer and very helpful. I ordered the seafood hibachi entree. The smell was so good I couldn't wait to get home to eat it. I wasn't disappointed. The meal was delicious, plentiful and made with FRESH ingredients“

“Absolutely delicious! The sushi platter was beautifully arranged and everything looked incredibly fresh. This is definitely some of the best sushi I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend, and I will absolutely be ordering again. 5/5 stars!“

“Came for dinner on Friday around 6:30pm. Recommend making reservation on Friday Evening otherwise take a seat at the bar or will need to wait. The fish was fresh and presentation done well. Seeing the chefs put the dishes together was a nice experience as well. A bit slow with the order but most likely its because the place was full. Would recommend 18 pieces sashimi, salmon tartar and tako su. Over all a great place to stop by if you want fresh sushi and want to bring in your liquor.“

“We decided to try V Create and were very pleased with how delicious the food was. The staff is also very kind. My husband had a burrito (two spoon), we also ordered Cajun fried chicken and two Mongolian bowls. Everything was devoured and we look forward to ordering again.“

“Quickly seated, drink and app order taken. Solid menu of sushi and cooked dishes. Edamame was served nice and hot along with my green tea. Salad was nice and fresh, ginger dressing just right. The sashimi was beautifully plated and tasted great. My glass was never empty and service kind. Absolutely recommend and would return.“

“Food is unbelievable. Service is 100%“

“Top sushi restaurant in East Brunz; service and quality of dishes are top shelf. You won’t be disappointed!“

“On everything sushi is so gas 🥺“

“Best Chinese food in the area. I've tried others, but have been coming here consistently for about 10 years (they were closed for a bit due to a fire in the shopping mall). Call ahead for takeout and the wait time is never long. Great portions and the food is always hot and ready. Not really a place to dine-in; maybe one or two tables.“

“I don't understand how they have the ratings they do. Their sushi and milk teas are amazing!!! The workers are quiet and to themselves, but they're not rude. They do an excellent job at providing what you need. And they're fast. I come here a few times a month. Def worth coming here!!“

“I cater from them all the time for large parties. The food is phenomenal. The service is fantastic. When they deliver, they are so pleasant. There's always a little bit of extra of one thing or another. My guests rave about the food and there's enough food for everyone to take home. I highly recommend you order from them.“

“Best sushi around! Fresh and the service is quick!“

“Always great food, super fast delivery & super fast when picking up orders too! Food taste & quality is excellent! Their prices are very good and you get a lot of food for the cost. We've been customers for about 7 years, love this place!“

“I’ve been living in Freehold for 27 years, yet I couldn’t even name another food court restaurant, let alone endear myself to any so much as I have Little Tokyo. When I was a little girl, I would so look forward to their INIMITABLE teriyaki dark meat chicken samples, and I spent my first wages ever on an actual meal from this place. It is a time-tested fixture at the Freehold mall, a must-have if you ever work or shop here and still a reliably fast and delicious option for me when I am in the area. I’m pretty sure I’ve been helped by the exact same woman at the front of the line my entire life, and she gives me a big smile every time I see her. I’ve tried teriyaki/bourbon chicken at other malls all over the state, and this is the only one that is not only delicious, but is prepared in way that is not greasy. This is truly the only place I will go for Americanized Chinese food and enjoy it at all. My go-to: 2 sides, 2 entrees - string beans and plantains, double teriyaki chicken. Even post-pandemic, the price is unbeatable for the amount of food you get.“

“Went here yesterday with my wife and son to get hibachi. We got treated basically to a personal hibachi experience since we went early on. Chef and wait staff were great and so was the food that we got - would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you haven't before!“

“The hibachi was great, plenty of food! Will go back again“

“First time at Sarku Japan and it was a good experience overall. If it’s your first visit, make sure to sign up for the app because you can get $5 off your first meal. The cashier was pretty friendly and helpful. Also, make sure to ask for hot sauce because they don’t have any out for you to grab yourself. One funny tip…hold onto your tray tight! The disposable trays are super slippery and your food will slide and glide around if you’re not careful.“

“I luv the salmon avocado roll here! When getting sushi here, be sure you specifically ask for the Kikkoman soy sauce in the green packets...or else they'll hand you the cheapy generic soy sauce packets that most Chinese restaurants hand out.“

“I came in this past weekend, (March 2026). I was eating very fresh sushi, rolls sashimi, the place is clean the service was exceptional. i was eating LOBSTER, so delicious. management was nice. I offered a suggestion of a lobster fork. I usually feel a bit weird after I go to buffets, but the food here to me was exceptional, and for $31.00 for a drink. per person. awesome. not many "filler foods" . neat and organized OCD“
