26 Best Japanese Restaurants near Montgomery

“All you can eat!! Fresh fish!“

“Decided to find an Omakase place in NJ and avoid going to NYC and I am so glad we did. The food and service were exquisite. Every morsel served was extraordinary, aesthetically perfect, and the menu was filling (often a problem for me at Omakase places). Price was spot on for the full meal which includes 12 pieces of nigiri amongst several other courses. My son and I enjoyed Naoki and can’t wait to go back with both my kids! Unfortunately, there is no vegetarian menu during Omakase service.“

“Always come here if I’m hanging around Princeton. Has to be my favorite store hands down. Tight space but lots of variety of snacks, ready to go meals, drinks, treats, fresh meats, produce, cutlery, and trinkets. I always get one of their homemade onigiri and always recommend it to friends if they’re with me.“

“excellent food. Best sushi and hibachi rice“

“What a gem! I was blown away by the quality and meticulousness of their nigiri and maki. Stunning fish, very carefully, simply and artfully prepared. Their traditional items were On par with some of the more reputable omakase I’ve had, truly an authentic, unadulterated sushi experience. Their more innovative offerings were fun and exciting and delicious, while still subtle and not overstated. Definitely coming back!“

“Run don’t walk to this Ramen spot. As a POC, they are so nice to me when I come in. I believe they have a daughter who’s usually at the register and the mom assists.

They actually give you meat! They aren’t stingy!

I ordered the beef ramen today, ordered the Tonkostu like 8 times before and they just opened a points reward system.

10/10 recommend!“

“I have been ordering from Happy Wok for over ten years. We usually get sushi for takeout and the fish is always fresh and delicious. The service is also friendly and welcoming when we dine in. Besides for sushi, the menu has tons of options and they are all great!! you can taste the Happy wok hei!“

“Great service, great sushi. Delicious sushi combo and Clinton roll.“

“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.“

“amazing food, friendly staff and food comes our fast“

“We really enjoyed our Special Rolls at Mizu Japanese Cuisine. 4 rolls for the three of us was plenty of food! We had Crazy Roll, Jazz Roll, Dynamite Roll, and Lava Roll. Their Seaweed Salad was a great beginning to our feast.
The restaurant is plain and simple, nothing fancy. The food makes it worth going back to.“

“Great very fresh sushi a small out of the way place that is a gem.. We found this place about 2 years ago and haven't gone to another sushi restaurant in our area since...“

“I have been coming here for years. The newer owner, Leon, has a passion for the place. Great sushi, great atmosphere; a place to come eat, or hang out in the lounge on Fridays for awesome Karaoke. Highly recommend. A serious good time with great food“

“Food and service was fantastic“

“We walked into this place last minute on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday since another sushi place had been unable to accommodate gf. We could not have stumbled upon a better experience! Elan at the sushi bar made us a custom omakase tasting all gluten free and so delicious. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really created a one of a kind meal while making us feel special and taken care of. We ended up with about 15 different courses i believe all fabulous and ended with a special ice cream sushi dessert. Best part was it’s been a bit since we ended and i still feel great, stuffed but i can tell it was celiac safe! We will definitely be back!“

“Always fresh! Owners are wonderful people’“

“The most fresh sushi you can find in New Jersey in the hillsbrough and belle meade area and Manville area always fresh mouth watering on every bite it’s make you want to order more and more because it’s so good but you got to have mindset your eyes bigger then tummy to have the right amount but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS “

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

“Good food“

“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 !“

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

“We stopped in on the way back from a trip to Trenton. We searched for a place to get Pho, soup dumplings and boba tea. This place hit on all three.
This is a small store front and at 9 PM on a Saturday it was very busy. There were a few seats open but most were full. There were a half dozen or more people waiting for food and drinks and a steady stream of people were coming in to pick up takeout.
The decor is contemporary, bright and busy lots of signs, specials, menus, etc.
There were only three employees visible and all were in constant motion.
The service was efficient without time to do much more than acknowledge each customer.
The food and drinks are focus and the draw
I am not a huge fan of boba tea, but when asked to try it, I have to say that it was excellent. The milk tea was rich and flavorful, the bobas were not too sweet, the texture was so much better than others that I've had. (Admitting that I am no expert, I will say that I will definitely explore the drink options when I am able to visit again.)
The soup dumplings were delicious. Many different flavors shown through and blended perfectly.
My favorite pho is roast pork, which was not an option, so we got the standard beef. It was also very good.
This seems to be a Princeton staple and I can absolutely see why. I wish they were closer. I would absolutely be a regular if it was close to home!
I would highly recommend this place!“

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

“I love their garlic shrimp with scallops menu item. I always get it for take-out. I have eaten at least 20 of them. There is a problem with their packaging. They put the food into a white plastic container that ALWAYS leaks. The container is not water-proof. They put the white container into a brown bag and put that into a plastic bag. The sauce leaks from the white container through the brown bag and into the plastic bag. When I open the white container, I get sauce from the bottom of the container all over my kitchen counter and have a mess to clean up. I have seen other take-out containers and NONE of them ever leak. This business needs to get a liquid-proof or water-proof container to put the food in so the sauce does not leak out. Wake up please!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered a take-out today July 31, 2024 and was surprised to see they have a new container that, when held upright, does not leak. One good step in the right direction. I wish they would go one more step and use a truly watertight container. Many restaurants use waterproof containers so an even better type of container does exist.“

“Nice variety of foods for 1 complete price, and quite tasty“

“The bulgogi beef kimbap was tasty, I also enjoyed my beef bibimbap but I felt there was hardly any beef in it. My absolute favorite however was the pan fried pork! It was spicy, flavorful and hit the spot. I know what to go for next time. The service was fast and I liked how tidy the restaurant was. Great place for some comfort food!“
