47 Best Japanese Restaurants near Morristown

“Great food. Often busy at nights - especially Friday and Saturday and it can get loud. Never had to wait for a seat for lunch. Service is great but can be slow when crowded. One of the few restaurants that serves red miso soup which I prefer over the more bland white miso you usually get at Japanese restaurants.“

“This is one of the best sushi spots in the area. I would recommend calling ahead for a table on a busy night. Parking is metered on the street or you can pay for parking in the nearby public garage around the corner.

If you pay in cash, your bill is 50% off- this is an unheard of deal. As a result of this deal and due to popularity, the food is always fresh here. I recommend the sweet potato roll as a vegetarian option- very tasty!“

“owner is so nice!!! they make their own soy sauce. wasn't salty“

“Always the best sushi in town and today didn't disappoint. Love the spicy Maki combo with three great rolls and a side salad plus their hot teas. Delicious. Always fresh and the service is outstanding, I love coming here again and again.“

“I have been going for years simply because you get consistently excellent portions for the price. That is still the truth today.“

“Great food, wonderful service. Friendly staff We always enjoy our meals and like to support a local family business.“

“12/23/25: We went here again and found a nice crowd of people have also discovered this hidden gem for fresh sushi and oriental food at a good price. Our new standby for awesomely made sushi! We both had special rolls, of which they make many. All were so good! (See pictures below). I find the prices to be very good and the quality fresh, and well made. And the service is so friendly, too. You really need to try it. This is a BYOB restaurant so bring your bottle of wine or beer and enjoy your dining experience.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
For all you sushi lovers out there.....this is a great one! I'm from out if town visiting and we went here. We did make a reservation but it's really not necessary. The lady that greeted us and waited on us was super nice and friendly! Just the right amount of attention and she alone made for a great visit from that aspect.
The Food: my son had the sashimi plater with a side of avocado. He said it was all fresh and a good amount. I had various rolls after I started with the spicy seaweed salad. It had just the correct amount of aoli spicy sauce.... not too spicy... & just right. And, soooo fresh, plus it was a good sized salad.
I had some eel nagiri and tamago nagiri along with a couple of rolls. I added a delicious California roll, too.
Prices: super right! Not expensive, at all. This is not a break the bank place with pricing that beats all the others locally.
My son and his wife and my grandson will be going here from now on he said. I look forward to going here again when in-state visiting.
Folks, I highly recommend trying this excellent restaurant. I'm am sure that you'll enjoy it as it checks off all the boxes and the sushi is very fresh and well made.
Sorry, but we were so hungry that I forgot the main course pictures.“

“The food is top notch. From the soup to the sushi. Even the ice cream is delicious. What really bothers me though is the service. There is a 90 minute time limit which I get but when you are rushed to get out by an hour that’s not right. Also when you’re hounding tables waiting to literally take a plate because you have nothing else to do that’s a problem. Finally when you’re coming up to tables and asking them for platters back because you don’t have enough supposedly that’s not good either. Last night I was hounded constantly. Twice I had people tell me to move my sushi to my paper plate because they needed the platter. May I suggest buying more platters. Love the food and yes I know I’ll be back but the service was ridiculous in your face. Don’t come here for date night because they don’t leave you alone“

“I love this place. Delicious food, fast and efficient service. I highly recommend.“

“I had the seafood tempura. So much food that I had to take it home. Have to go back to try more menu items.“

“Great little story: more than 20 years ago I found myself inexplicably single (lol) and walked into Mitsuba (Chatham) just as it opened — I might have been their second-ever customer. I scanned the menu and wanted a lot of sushi, but not the Full “Love Boat.” I told them, “I’m not in love, and that’s too much food. Can I get something about half the size and half the price?”
They brought out what you see in the photo. I was satisfied and joked, “When I come back, can we call this the Lonely Boat?” And that’s how it stuck. It isn’t on the menu, but if you walk in and ask for “Mr. Howard’s Lonely Boat,” they’ll know what you mean.
I even suggested making it a Monday special — “Lonely Boat Mondays.” Imagine single folks showing up for a Lonely Boat, striking up conversations, and maybe two lonely diners eventually turning their Lonely Boats into Love Boats. Plus lets face it folks, hands down.....the best Sushi in NJ without any question!“

“My favorite Japanese restaurant! The food and service are exceptional!“

“Great service , good attention and fresh food“

“Delicious sushi! Good prices. Lots to pick from - we enjoyed a bit of everything from the sushi menu. They have a few tempura rolls, a few naruto rolls (cucumber wrapped, no rice), and a whole 2 pages for regular and special rolls. I enjoyed everything my table tried. Lots of variety to find something for you!

Lost a star for me on service - vibe is nice but we waited a while to order and receive our check even though there were very few guests dining in on a Friday night. Seems like a great takeout choice otherwise!“

“This was my first visit to Blue Wazabi I Loved It!! Large menu selection and wonderful food and portion size. Definitely, will visit again.“

“Delicious! We always enjoy it there.“

“We always enjoy Yuki Hana. Since pandemic we've only ordered take-out, but look forward to dining in-person soon. Favorite dish, besides sushi, is katsudon. Delicious!“

“Came here for happy hour / early dinner. Sat at the bar, service was great! Alberto helped us for most of the night and was so friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to come back!“

“My daughter and her roommate from rutgers went there got all you could eat sushi weren't happy with it and they were charged for the entire thing even though they told the owner it didn't taste right they've been sick for the last 2 days throwing Up from both ends don't go near this place“

“Best sushi within 100 miles“

“Great 😊 restaurant very nice 😊 people the owner love the food desert 😊⛄️⛄️⛄️🌺“

“This is a small Japanese restaurant. There is a good selection on the menu and the food is very good I like the bento box since there's a selection of different items on it and it was amazing. It has some sushi some appetizers tempura Etc all on one plate“

“This is a brand new, recently opened restaurant and wow did they deliver for first impressions. Food was absolutely incredible. The sushi was fresh and made quickly. I had the volcano roll and the Naruto rainbow row, it was beautiful and delicious. Very good quality cuts and tasted fresh Really impressed by their milk tea as well. We got the original and Taro milk tea and it was fantastic. Staff was also very friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. Would definitely be coming back the next time I’m in town!“

“The food was quite delightful. When we came in we were seated immediately. Our orders were taken within 2 minutes and the food came out just 5 minutes later. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. The authenticity was also quite marvelous. Definitely coming back!

Dietary restrictions: Not sure I don’t have any.

Kid-friendliness: Pretty kid friendly. I saw that there were high seats for children and small kids enjoying everything.

Wheelchair accessibility: You have to get up stairs to go here so it might not be the best option but if you manage to get up, there is quite a lot of space for a wheelchair“

“Had a great time. Food was excellent.“

“We had a blast here. Perfect for high schoolers who wanna have a fun time with great food. I’m vegetarian and i had plenty of options and they were all splendid. I would definitely come here over and over again. Servers were extremely friendly.“

“Sarku has good food but its a little bland. It tastes like they don't put any seasoning on the cabbage and the chicken could use more flavor. The price is fair. It was about $12 for a meal. But don't let how they plate it fool you, there is not much meat. I rearranged you so you can see how much meat there really is. All the meat fits into the small compartment for sides.“

“February 14th, Valentine’s Day and people are leaving this place. 2 chefs working only. A lot of people and waiting time is about an hour. So disappointing“

“Always love Go Sushi, it's our Sushi Place of choice, no matter if you eat in or take out the food / service is outta this world!!!!

We ate in today, it was our daughter's birthday yesterday and as always we were gifted an Ice-Cream Tempura with a candle on top as a Birthday Dessert - Thanx Again for a Yummy Dinner 😃“

“Amazing fresh sushi and wonderful staff. Was amazed by the freshness and value. Will be back soon for sure.“

“I always like the burrito and i get to make it how i was fresh every time!“

“Nice spot for a Chinese food or sushi. Convenient to the local hotel and all the shops. Nice cozy indoor seating and good service. Food was flavorful. The fried dumplings and beef on a stick were great appetizers. The tangerine beef was sweet and spicy delicious.“

“very entertaining n food was very good“

“Great service, reasonable pricing and delicious food“

“From what I shared last time (food being so delicious) very disspointed now. Had to throw everything in the garbage today - sushi rolls (spicy tuna and spicy salmon) did not smell fresh at all, looked very different. Ramen soup was disguisting. We used to love this place, truly loved. But last couple of times food seems not the same. Also Doordash took two hours to deliver instead of promised 45 min- have a feeling they were looking for fresh fish and could not find it - so result was obvious. If a manager reads this message would be nice to talk. Otherwise goodbye Blufin“

“good service and good food“

“We ordered California roll, Sesame Chicken and Bean Curd Gravy with Tofu. The California Roll and the Sesame Chicken were delicious, while the bean curd gravy could have been better.
We would recommend this place for a good Asian meal.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, very spacious. Courteous, prompt, and attentive wait staff. Food is delicious and the menu selections are many, including Japanese and Thai dishes. Portions are quite generous, and their cost is very reasonable. Ample parking, right in the center of downtown New Providence amidst many fine stores and services all within walking distance. Highly recommended!“

“Good food and good service. Will be back.“

“Best Chinese & Japanese I’ve had, from their green tea with toasted brown rice to their soups, their general Tso is always a good balance of spice to sweet, very accommodating with gluten allergy for my partner. They are always nice and we tend to catch going once a week at this point, very good every time“

“Lived next door to here for 2 years and went at least twice a week. Some of the best fried rice I have ever had. I was in England for 7 months and every time I got Chinese there I would cry remembering this place. 😭 they’re really good and the employees are so nice. I can’t wait to eat here again and refresh my body from the uk Chinese torture lol they can’t compare to Ashia!!!!“

“Taka Sushi in Summit is a 5-star gem for sushi newbies like me! Their miso soup is warm and balanced, Bento box offers great variety with tempura, California rolls, and a fresh side salad—the ginger dressing is very good, tangy and light. Loved the creamy avocado roll and fresh tuna tartar. Beginner-friendly service, fresh flavors—can't wait to return!!!!“

“Both the sushi and sashimi at Sushi Palace are amazing. You can always judge the expected quality of the food of a Japanese restaurant by the care they put into the miso soup. And the miso at Sushi Palace is wonderful, as so is every dish I have tried here.“

“A step above the usual buffet! Lots of seafood dishes to choose from including crab and lobster.Great selection of sushi which included sashimi. Price is higher but you get what you pay for. Made to order hibachi also available. Our group enjoyed dining here.“
