11 Best Sushi Bars in Princeton

“The food here was excellent! We ordered a variety of sushi and a delicious soup, both of which were great. Just a heads-up on the tiramisu: it’s not a classic recipe, but still interesting.

The only downside was the service model. It is self-service, and the staff wasn't very attentive about letting us know when our food was ready to be picked up. Despite the lack of table service, they still ask for a tip, which felt a bit off. Overall, great food, but the service system could be improved.“

“our server Gianna was the best server I’ve ever had. she should get a raise because she’s super nice and funny. she made the experience really good and we want to come again“

“Elite 5 delivers a dining experience defined by a rare level of intentionality and technical skill. What stands out immediately is the unique identity of every dish; the flavors are refined and balanced rather than overpowering, allowing the distinct character of each individual roll to shine through. It is clear that the focus here is on quality and craftsmanship rather than following a standard template.

​The Fire and Ice sushi is a true standout and a masterclass in culinary innovation. By removing the rice entirely, the dish highlights the pure quality of the fish, complemented perfectly by the texture of the caviar on every piece. Visually, it is stunning, but the taste is even more impressive, offering a sophisticated profile that I haven't encountered anywhere else.

​The attention to detail extends to the very end of the meal, maintaining a standard of excellence that is frankly unmatched. Even the ice cream plate arrived with perfect 90° angles, showcasing a level of geometric precision that speaks to the restaurant's discipline. I have never seen this level of artistry in a sushi restaurant before, making it a truly one-of-a-kind experience.“

“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 !“

“Midori is our local Go To for consistently good sushi. We've been going here for a few years now since they reopened a while after COVID. My neighbor's turned us on to the place when they ordered sushi platters during and after COVID since they didn't open their dining area until much after most places had already opened. Their sushi and food has remained consistent with quality and taste and never failed us. Sushi is always fresh tasting and lots of variety of specialty rolls also. My kids really love the chicken katsu dinner and always get that. Their Kani salad is one of the best I've had around the area. Their dining area is nice and large with plenty of seating and is a great atmosphere. They are BYOB also, which is a plus. It you are from the area you are missing out if you don't have Midori as one of your go to local sushi spots. You won't be disappointed.“

“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.“

“Food and service was fantastic“

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

“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!“

“Everyone was kind and patient helping us pick out our orders (we are extremely indecisive😆). The atmosphere inside was cozy, and they even have an outdoor space! Food came out super fast and was delicious, we love the sesame chicken. Totally recommend this place!“

“My husband, who eats sushi like its water, found this place one day and couldn't wait to show me. They are a small, cozy shop in a basement in the city. They have a respectively diverse menu for a sushi restaurant and make everything individually to order. With this in mind, yes please plan to spend time there. It is a bit pricey, but for us it is worth it every time.“
