35 Best Japanese Restaurants near Mount Laurel

“The owners make food for the soul!“

“Wasabi Japanese Cuisine in Larchmont Centre has quickly become one of our favorite neighborhood spots! We’ve held a couple of team meetings here after classes, and the food, service, and atmosphere are always top-notch.

Their sushi rolls, hibachi, and classic Japanese favorites are fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — and the staff is welcoming and attentive every time. It’s the kind of place where families feel right at home, whether you’re grabbing a meal after class or celebrating something special.

Restaurants like this add flavor and community to our plaza — and I’m grateful to have them right here in Mt. Laurel!

“I've been here countless times with my family and friends. Food AND service is always great. If you want a deal, they have a lunch deal on sushi from 11-3, I believe. Let me emphasise this is the best sushi place for the price. Family-owned and operated.“

“we ordered delivery from Asian chef tonight, and when I got my order (bento box with salmon teriyaki, rice, shrimp shumai, and cucumber avocado roll). Instead of salmon, I ended up receiving shrimp teriyaki. I wasn’t going to call but I figured I may as well just let them know- the employee who answered the phone was so nice and apologetic, and immediately offered to bring me the correct protein that I ordered. I accepted the offer and asked if he wanted me to return the untouched shrimp order, but he said to keep it! then, I expected them to just deliver me the salmon to add to the meal, but they brought me an ENTIRE other bento box with the salmon! I was so shocked! not only that, but they also returned the cash to make up the difference in price on the order. they did NOT have to do that, but it shows so much about their restaurant. we also ordered some sushi, drunken noodles, and a seaweed salad and it did not disappoint at all. we will be ordering from asian chef again soon thanks to their kindness, and their excellent quality food!!“

“Great experience at Tako Sushi! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious — everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. I especially loved all the dishes with eel; they were truly top-notch and full of flavor. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!“

“Absolutely highly recommend! Foods amazing, people are very friendly and attentive. I have had sushi about every restaurant in the area and this is my new favorite! Don't walk, run to Yu sushi! Let's show them some support so that they're around long into the future!❤️❤️❤️Love, love, love them!“

“I am working my way through this entire menu and every dish I have tried so far is not only excellent but is actually impressive. Everything from the cold to hot food to the service is fantastic. This place is a gem“

“So happy I made this discovery! Black garlic ramen was delicious! They have probably the best bubble milk tea I’ve ever had. Wish they had another location in West Chester!“

“Popped in a hibachi lunch with my DW during the Sutumn Festival here in town. Excellent food, and the hibachi lunch is a steal at 16 bucks for the filet mignon. Not a typo, you read it right. A bargain. They serve it 11 to 3. It is pictured. Includes the miso soup, also pictured.

Friendly and courteous wait staff. The spicy yellowtail roll (pictured) was very good. The pictures do not do justice to the good presentation. The Wasabi kicked butt.

If you're in Moorestown for lunch, definitely give Akira2 a try. Great value for price paid.

Update April 2026...went for an early dinner and Akira did not disappoint. The Samurai roll is outstanding, and the hibachi seafood for 2 is a screaming bargain. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. You simply won't go wrong here. Important note: BYOB.“

“Great value for the price. Whenever I go into an AYCE sushi place, you never actually know how good the sushi will be, but the sushi here was above what I usually expect from AYCE sushi. Nothing was lacking or disappointing - not going to be the finest sushi you’ve ever eaten, but definitely a solid offering, especially considering price.“

“This was our first time going here and whereas we may or may not ever get to go there again I highly recommend it. The service was perfect the food was amazing and it was a comfortable setting. We actually found the place by accident, we were traveling and our children decided they were hungry so we just pulled off of the highway and found some place that we could all agree and I am so happy we did. You all did a wonderful job.“

“Had dinner there last night was so disappointed that they no longer doing the hibachi cooking at your table…over all meal was good (shrimp fried rice was very good) …our server Nicole was gracious & very attentive…would go back but would try something different…“

“Great food! Convenient since they deliver!“

“Today is my third time ordering from Akia Fusion. This time I added the Tai chai Bubble tea to stir up the mix. Lol Boston roll. California roll. Shrimp Tempura with side salad and miso soup.“

We also tried the soup, which was comforting and delicious. Everything tasted authentic and high quality. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves real Japanese food! I’ll be back 😅“

“Stopped here while out shopping with my daughter. We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of food in the bento box and everything tasted delicious. Unfortunately, we don't live nearby, almost 2 hours, but we will be making a trip in the future to eat here again it was that good!“

“In Love with this place. As far as I’m concerned, NUMBER 1 in the USA!“

“My husband and I stopped here randomly and loved it. The restaurant is immaculate and the food was amazing! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“Tucked away in a small shopping center, very easy to overlook, sits a gem of a restaurant. They have multiple cuisines to choose from, Japanese, Chinese, and Thai. The footprint of the restaurant is small, but it is so thoughtfully arranged and decorated. I wish I had found this place sooner and will definitely continue to visit.“

“Finally gave them a try and was pleasantly surprised. The sushi rolls were delicious just cut a little thicker then I’m used too, and they were stuffed a little more than I’m used too. They tasted good, and left me wanting more. So, I will definitely be going back to give a try to some of there other menu options.“
