“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.“

“The place is small but the food is AMAZING!! Love the ninja theme they put around the place. Will definitely come back more offten.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent, the food and the service was great 👍🏻“

“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“

“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.“

“Order from here at least once or twice a week. Sushi is great, lunch specials are great, but they need to drain the water from their lettuce after rinsing the salad because there's always a pool of water in the container with the salad.“

“Food and service was fantastic“

“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.“

“I am writing in response to the review posted by Melanie De Gardnuer earlier today. I was present at the store as a customer buying dinner for my family at the time when she was there. The store manager I witnessed was purely professional and accommodating -- he delivered commendable service. The most "blasphemous" thing I witnessed was the manager holding open a plastic bag for her drink while the customer fumbled with her change; when she saw him doing so, she rudely questioned why, and he gently shared that it was for her drink. The fellow customer sat down with some of her food while waiting for the remainder, and began eating it in the seating area that had been shut down because of the pandemic. The manager never once raised his voice and very reasonably conveyed that the area was closed due to COVID-19 store policy, and that unfortunately, she was not supposed to eat there. The tantrum she threw at him in front of his employees was unacceptable and undeserved. Given that she threatened to write a Google review, I decided to check. The content is false and wholly 'Karen' behavior. Hope everyone is safe and well during this time.“

“Ain't nothing like your delivery lady texting you to come get your good. Great customer obsession!“

“Good food“

“First time here, had a gift certificate so decided to check it out. Will definitely be back. Great service and wonderful 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!“

“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!“

“Japanese food made from scratch very economic and convenient 🍲🍜🥢“

“You have to try the sweet potato tempura sushi. What a revelation! My omnivore friend and I had a great vegan meal here. There are several vegetarian options that won't make anyone feel deprived.“

“Midori Japanese Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The ambiance is cozy yet stylish, perfect for a relaxed dining experience.

We started with the miso soup and gyoza, both of which were perfectly seasoned and delicious. The sushi was the real highlight — so fresh and beautifully presented. I highly recommend trying their specialty rolls; the Midori Roll was a flavor explosion!

The portion sizes are generous, and the quality of the ingredients is top-notch. For anyone looking for an authentic and reasonably priced Japanese meal, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!
Recommendation:
Naruto roll
Midori chips
Torched King Salmon roll
Imperial dragon roll“

“Not sure why the reviews were bad. My salmon nigiri was excellent and soft despite looking a bit less presentable. The Beef Ho Fun was delicious and addictive with soft chewy rice noodles. The service was insane at around 2 lb. I weighed it because I diet. The spicy tuna hand roll was good. Prices are competitive and they deliver themselves, outside the apps.“

“All you can eat!! Fresh fish!“

“I had the most incredible dining experience at Sakura last night! From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere greeted me. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed throughout the meal. The sushi selection was out of this world - fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I especially loved the dragon roll; it was a perfect combination of textures and tastes. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes. Sakura is definitely my new favorite restaurant!“

“I really enjoyed these tasty and unique dishes they served . Fresh and delicious! The servers were helpful and very pleasant! Thank you for a very memorable dinner!“

“Love coming here. Best Ramen by far. Even if we live a distance away, this is worth the trip.“
