37 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rockaway

“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.“

“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“

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

“I had a great experience here. I ordered the sushi combo. I got shrimp tempura, soup and a house salad on the side. It was very delicious and the service was very nice. She is a very sweet lady. The atmosphere is small but very pleasant and calm if you want a quiet spot.“

“best food ever my god!!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best sushi within 100 miles“

“My family has been coming here weekly for about 3 years now. The staff is extremely friendly, and they always talk to and play with our children (2 and 4). We always do sushi, but our kids do the udon noodles and sometimes the sesame/general tso chicken and we have not been disappointed. We recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

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

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

“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“

“Food is very good. Nice Place to Eat.“

“The bathroom was incredibly accessible for wheels chairs /walkers ect. The food was super good i recommend going during lunch time and getting the three roll special. The miso soup was incredible, the best ive had in a while. The staff is friendly and nice.“

“Tonight me and my fiancé ordered dinner from here. I got wonton soup because i wasn't that hungry and ended up eating the whole container. Hands down the BEST wonton soup I’ve ever had. I even called to compliment them, and i don’t think I’ve ever done that. It was that good. My fiancé also said he agrees it’s the best Chinese food he’s ever had.“

“Fun and entertaining 😃 great for birthday celebrations.“

“Had a great time. Food was excellent.“

“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“

“The food was fantastic, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. We have a spirited 3-year-old, and not once did we feel unwelcome—in fact, quite the opposite. Everyone was so warm and kind, and even the sushi chef made a point to smile and wave at our daughter. Those little moments mean the world to us tired parents.

I had the chicken katsu—perfectly crispy, just the way I like it—and the egg fried rice was spot on. Pro tip: skip the soy sauce and squeeze a little lemon over the chicken and rice. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.

My wife ordered the classic roll, which was beautifully prepared, and our daughter had the kids’ chicken hibachi box with noodles. She nearly cleared the plate.

If you’re passing through town, eating here is a decision you won’t regret.“

“We were pleasantly surprised. The food was really good, generously portioned, and moderately priced. We will be back.“

“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.“

“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“

“Delicious as always with excellent service. The updated website makes ordering online very easy. We're glad you've re-opened amidst the Stay Home rules. One of our favorite restaurants in the area!“

“Great service, reasonable pricing and delicious food“

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

“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“

“We came for a quick and relaxing Saturday night meal. We were seated at a booth. The owner served us as she ran around managing all aspects of the business. We ordered scallion pancakes as a shared appetizer and I had a cup of wonton soup. My entree was chicken Mei fun and my dinner guest had pineapple chicken with brown rice. The portions were ample and all food was prepared and presented well. The scallion pancakes were crispy and not dripping in oil. The wonton soup was tasty and not salty. Overall we had no complaints. The business does what appears to be a greater pick up business than dine in. The restaurant decor is pleasant. We certainly will come back.“

“my wife loves your place she says she gets everything suggested by famous food reviewer Mike Chen. I however would like to mention that I'm a vegetarian and I have a lot of trouble finding something. maybe can you have sides of vegetables in the buffet or vegetable dumplings? I know you have veg lo me in and veg fried rice but it's onion loaded and I'm allergic. thanks“
