29 Best Sushi Bars near Somerset

“Poke Bowl in Hillsborough is much better. The poke bowl topping options are limited at Poké star. When you order online, you can only choose one or two, and at Poké bowl you can get as much as you want of any of the toppings. Poke star gave me what I guess is supposed to be sushi rice but it just looks like regular white rice to me. It’s not sticky. Also, the mixed greens consisted of lettuce and huge pieces of spinach with thick, long stems that they should have cut off before serving. Flavor of the tuna was ok. Only saw literally 2 sesame seeds, but the sauce was very good and the place was clean and people were nice. $20 for one protein plus avocado here and it’s $17 for the same at Poke Bowl.“

“What a gem! I was blown away by the quality and meticulousness of their nigiri and maki. Stunning fish, very carefully, simply and artfully prepared. Their traditional items were On par with some of the more reputable omakase I’ve had, truly an authentic, unadulterated sushi experience. Their more innovative offerings were fun and exciting and delicious, while still subtle and not overstated. Definitely coming back!“

“Great service with amazing food. Bianca the waitress is very friendly and super fast“

“It’s a takeout joint - small- but it is so worth the trip! Fresh and delish! Anything from sushi to ramen .. Hard working friendly staff. I give them 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Outstanding sushi. Traveling for business, walk in group of 10. Great experience. Super impressed with the quality of the food. 10/10 would recommend. Probably will come back again before we fly out. Worth it“

“Great food !! Amazing service!! Absolutely loved it !“

“Amazing sushi! I would definitely recommend coming here to eat, especially the dinner for two.“

“The best sushi place in NJ! We have been eating sushi for a long time in different places across NJ but none of them can beat Sushi O. The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. The atmosphere and the people working there are also the best! LOVE THIS PLACE!“

“delicious sushi meal! we had sushi boat for three, miso soup, and tempura green tea ice cream. yum!“

“We walked into this place last minute on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday since another sushi place had been unable to accommodate gf. We could not have stumbled upon a better experience! Elan at the sushi bar made us a custom omakase tasting all gluten free and so delicious. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really created a one of a kind meal while making us feel special and taken care of. We ended up with about 15 different courses i believe all fabulous and ended with a special ice cream sushi dessert. Best part was it’s been a bit since we ended and i still feel great, stuffed but i can tell it was celiac safe! We will definitely be back!“

“Great very fresh sushi a small out of the way place that is a gem.. We found this place about 2 years ago and haven't gone to another sushi restaurant in our area since...“

“Top sushi restaurant in East Brunz; service and quality of dishes are top shelf. You won’t be disappointed!“

“The owners are the best they stay open 1 more hour after closing time & sushi 🍣 was great 🍣🥰“

“The food and the service was incredible. I have two little very talkative girls and the team there showed them all the attention they needed. Not sure how long they have been open for but we’ve been living in scotch plains for 8 years and just finally visited. Everyone that walked in was greeted with a hug so they clearly have a lot of repeat customers that they take care of. This is the place ?“

“20250712::for $34.99 its not bad. the rice was a bit over cooked and mushy. BUT the MACKREL was the best, because it was lightly pickled and didnt have the acidity taste to it. the YELLOW TAIL was second best becuase it was soo smooth and melted as i ate it. yummy. there was a second huge dining room to accomadate more people and a second set of bathrooms too.“

“Edit: posted a year ago but i STILLL COME HERE.

I've come here abt 20*** times so far and I've never had a bad food experience. I've had sushi from a lot of other AYCE, all you can eat, sushi places and I think this one is the best in terms of quality and variety. It's about $30 per person.

The fish here tastes fresh and NOT watered down like other places I've been to. The miso soup is good here too, it doesn't taste artificial and sweet like other places.

The special rolls are a little questionable, there are a lot of special rolls that aren't my type and extremely filling but I like the sashimi and regular rolls. The salmon is good here, so I always get salmon sashimi and Alaska rolls.

They also have other foods available in their AYCE like shumai, sesame chicken, lo mein, and calamari, takoyaki, etc. Most of their non-sushi items are good too. I have some friends who don't like seafood but they still get the ayce.

ONE THING TO NOTE, if you come here with a party of 5 or more, you will be charged a 15% service fee.“

“I came here during lunch to pick up before I headed back to my job.

Takoyaki: The takoyaki here has improved and the inside has more squid pieces.

The fat cup: It is still delicious and really filling when you eat it.

The Staff: They are friendly here and very patient when taking the orders.

Green Apple Tea: This is a little too sweet and they could add a little more ice to eat to dilute it a little.

Spam Musubi: This was good except the rice falls apart when you try to take a bite out of it.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“First time. New to town. Got a no-rice roll, a spicy tuna roll and seaweed salad. A strong 4 stars. Very good, but different from what I'm used to...Somerville, NJ. Staff was 100% on point. Friendly and service was fast. I will definitely go back and try more.“

“soooo good definitely recommend coming here if you're a sushi lover“

“The hibachi was great, plenty of food! Will go back again“

“Great hibachi dinner experience, dining in is cozy but not crowded on weekday night, great to have conversations for two.Meal certainly filling for dinner, the hibachi shrimp lives up to the "The most flavorful shrimp you'll ever taste" Description.Service was quick and pleasant.“

“A group of us went for dinner on a Saturday night. The place was empty. Before we even had a chance to order, the owner came over and asked us who we were planning to vote for. Really?? He began talking politics. We were polite but he truly put a damper on our night out. I don't care what party you support, pushing your politics on customers you don't know is offensive and bad business! Reading other reviews on Google, I see he's done this to others. We won't be returning and will spread the word to avoid going there.“

“We had such a good waiter, bartender ( Tom) the place was quiet and the food was outstanding. from chicken dumplings to miso tofu soup, noodles chicken dishes. and a wonderful dessert Mochi tempura! great service, very good food! We will be returning ♡♡♡“

“Food was delicious and looked beautiful, service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. I had the hibachi steak and my husband had the shrimp and vegetable tempura. I was pleased with the size of the meal and the flavor. For dessert we had the banana tempura. A delicious treat and only $4. We hope to come back again!“

“The food is always good! We’ve gotten appetizers, cooked and raw sushi, bento boxes, pad Thai, hibachi, and soup and they’ve always been tasty. Our biggest issue is that the tables have very little legroom because of the built-in hibachi grills in the booths, which isn’t ideal for our tall family. We still choose to come back despite that because we enjoy it so much!“

“We have been going here for our once a month dinner date for a few years now and are never dissatisfied. They are consistent, friendly to us every time, and quick! it is a BYOB establishment 30$ per person on weekends and $25 on weekdays will get you all you can eat from a menu that has salads, teriyaki choices, tempura choices, a host of apps, and all the sashimi, sushi rolls, and specialty rolls you can think of! My husband gets every appetizer on the menu but really likes the chicken teriyaki and fried shrimp dumplings. I go crazy for their shrimp and salmon sashimi and of course the classic US California roll. The few times we have not been able to finish a few pieces of sushi they have been understanding and not charged us, that being said we’ve seen many people order too much and get a charge. My main advice would be START SLOW. You can order as many times as you want and they are very quick to get the food to you. No need to start with a monster order and end up in a hole! I also recommend getting the hot tea (free refills all night) to help you eat more ! Finally if you are GF either pick up your own bottle at the nearby shoprite or bring one from your house they no longer offer GF soy sauce. My husband ops for spicy Mayo instead but you have to ask for it!“

“Good Date night me the wifey!“
