50 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.“

“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...“

“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!“

“Great casual spot for basic sushi. Consistent. Wide selection of rolls if that’s what you like, which is really their focus. Regular sushi, nigiri, sashimi is good for the location, not high end and limited varieties but always fresh. Generous portions. Great friendly staff.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 !“

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

“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.“

“never really had anything that tastes bad“

“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.“

“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 ♡♡♡“

“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.“

“Excellent selection, fresh food! I had the Cobb salad; loved it! Real chicken (compared to many restaurants serving processed, pre-cooked chicken)! The honey mustard dressing was amazing! My sons said the burger, onion rings & gyro were great too!“

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

“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.“

“Best budget sushi ever. There was no toilet paper. I guess that's not covered by the budget. It's cool because it's a double restaurant - there's Pizza on one side and sushi on the other. They do takeout sushi which is good because seating is limited. My best friend almost hit his face when he yanked the door open because it was stuck shut. The place has character. If you're here for the sushi you will not be disappointed. If your here for the atmosphere, you probably shouldn't be.“

“Have been there so many times with friends, families and my kids. My kids love the traditional Taiwanese noodles, and I love their Japanese rolls. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff add to the overall dining experience, making it our favorite go-to restaurent! Love this place.“

“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!“

“Good Date night me the wifey!“

“For those that know me, there has been a legend I’ve spoken of many times. Once upon a time, there was a place which provided me with some of my best culinary memories ever. This legendary place was called Mr. Pi’s Sushi Restaurant in Metuchen, NJ. Almost ten years of amazing experiences I had accumulated there. However, one day this place of legend had eventually relocated and, in the years that followed, I spoke of, and daydreamed of, this legendary place quite often. Then, over a decade later, I accidentally find out that they have relocated back to the area near me. My sheer joy, the smile from ear to ear, the absolute excitement, was so intense it was practically palpable. Speaking of palpable… in their journey before returning to Middlesex County, in Highland Park this time around, they have made their menu even BETTER, which seems almost impossible for a place so legendary, but it’s true. They are the best version of themselves they’ve EVER been! If sushi restaurants have a glow up era, they most definitely are at the summit of it, and will most certainly remain there, as legends do. Welcome to Mr. Pi’s 3.0! Placing a restaurant into legendary status is neither something I do easily, haphazardly nor willy nilly. For, you see, I have quite literally tried sushi all over the world. I’ve had sushi in Europe, the UK, the South Pacific, Australia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and yes, Japan. I’ve had sushi in (almost) every one of the 50 states, except for those states in which I just didn’t feel like risking my health by trying the sushi. Of all these places I’ve been to, all over the world, NOWHERE compares to Mr. Pi’s! They are the truest of diamonds, valuable beyond imagination! In an area of NJ where you can barely walk a block without finding yet another sushi restaurant, Mr. Pi’s OUTSHINES every single one of them, by far! What makes a place so legendary? Their food, first and foremost, is TOP TIER, ALWAYS FRESH, HIGH QUALITY, and BEAUTIFULLY, quite STUNNINGLY, PLATED! Great food alone, although amazing, does not grant legendary status. This next part is where many restaurants sadly fall short these days. SERVICE and HOSPITALITY are an art form that not many have mastered the way owner Jeannette and Sushi Maestro Pi have perfected it. They welcome each and every guest with the warmest of greetings, most genuine of smiles, and truly heartfelt interests in giving their customers a PREMIUM experience. How they are able to remember so many people by name is a talent so challenging it’s practically pure magic in and of itself. After even just a second visit, you will already feel like you are home when you dine here. Our server, Cindy, made sure we always had hot tea in our pot, drinks in our glasses, and our every need anticipated and catered to. She truly excelled in her attention to all the details of our dining experience! The atmosphere is a delight, with so much space that they have multiple dining areas and a banquet room that could easily accommodate 50, possibly even 75, people. They also have (a new territory for Pi’s), a full bar with a variety live music certain nights of the week. In this massive space which was once occupied by a Charlie Brown’s of decent proportions, they have managed to retain all the charm embodied in the sushi restaurants of their prior incarnations. Plenty of space, comfy seating, delightful decor, and a bar as well, make this yet another amazing quality this legend has taken on! Of course, one can not dub a restaurant a legend without discussing the food. In the only three times I’ve been in since discovering it’s reemergence locally, I have been dazzled by the displays of sushi some plated with dazzling miniature ice sculptures, as they’ve floated by my table onwards to their destination where I am sure there were patrons in absolute delight. On the menu you can find many of the usual items found in sushi restaurants, but there is quite a list of items that you will find only at Pi’s. Their special rolls have taken creativity to a new level of transcendence. In additi“

“I was craving good Japanese food close to home so I went to Teriyaki 1. I got the Chicken Bento box with a Shrimp roll, Angry Dragon roll and a Cucumber and Avocado roll. It was absolutely delicious that was my first time trying the Angry Dragon, and I enjoyed it. My food was fresh and full of flavor. The only room for improvement is that the spring rolls that came with my Bento box was too oily, I had to blot it with a towel to absorb the oil. Other than that the food was great and I highly recommend it to anyone, and would definitely go back. 👌🏾👍🏾“

“Outstanding food and very friendly staff ~ highly recommend!“

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

“This place was wonderful. The atmosphere was quiet and homely. The lady behind the counter was very friendly. The food was not only presented beautifully, but it tasted even better.The brined egg was super tasty. The prices are fair overall. I highly recommend and I will be going back.“

“This place is an awesome hidden gem. Buffet style, great prices and no pressure from staff. You do not have to be a fan of sushi to find plenty of great food to eat. Asian and American fare. All delicious and very reasonable.

Parking: Strip mall parking

Kid-friendliness: All are welcome and there is food for everyone including plenty of salads

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

“Great experience at KURA!“

“I tried vegan specialty Mango Tango roll, it was awesome tasty & excellent. The Ginger & Wasabi was very fresh. The taste was amazing, but it'd be nice if they have little bigger portion

Vegetarian options: They have vegan normal & specialty rolls“

“I went with my family in a good mood for Mother's Day and my birthday. We went with 5 adults and 2 children. We came to $300 for our food, and my sister and I tipped twice, for a total of $100. After eating, I left the card on the table after paying. I found out after I got home, so I called right away and confirmed the card was there. Since then, money has been withdrawn from my account several times. I couldn't use the card. However, I was surprised by the amount of over $100 doordash payment, so I stopped the card in the evening. And I called the restaurant. But the boss never said he was sorry to me. We said we didn't use it and that we could report it. I am so embarrassed and angry. It's my fault for leaving the card behind, but it's a big fault for the person who stole and used the guest card. I want to tell you to be careful about what happened here. I don't want to go any longer to be safe in a place like this. And you won't be able to go. The service here is a mess. really be careful. 마덜스 데이와 제 생일로 기분 좋게 식구들과 갔습니다. 우리는 어른 5명과 아이 2명과 갔습니다. 우리는 음식값이 300불이 나왔고, 나와 내 여동생이 팁을 두번 주어서 총 100불을 팁으로 주었습니다. 먹은후 계산후에 카드를 테이블에 놓고 왔습니다. 집에 온 이후에 알게되서, 다는 바로 전화를하고 카드가 거기있는것을 확인을 했습니다. 그 이후 내 계좌에서 돈이 여러번 빠져나갔습니다. 나는 카드를 사용하지 못했습니다. 그러나 100불 이상의 doordash 에서 결제된 금액에 놀라서 저녁에 카드를 중지 시켰습니다. 그리고 나는 그 레스토랑에 전화를 했습니다. 그러나 사장님은 나에게 미안하다는 소리는 한번도 하지 않았습니다. 우리들은 사용하지 않았다면서 신고 해도 된다고 했습니다. 나는 너무 당황스럽고 화가났습니다. 카드를 두고 온 나의 잘못이지만, 손님카드를 도용해서 사용한 사람은 큰 잘못입니다. 나는 이곳에서 이런일이 일어난것에대해 조심하라고 말하고 싶습니다. 이런곳에서 안전하게 더 이상 가고싶지 않다. 그리고 갈수 없을것입니다. 여기서비스는 엉망 입니다. 정말 조심하세요..“

“Yukgaejang (spicy beef brisket stew with glass noodles) was solid! Large portion too! I didn’t even finish my rice. It even comes with some banchan. I had food coma for a few hours on the recliners afterward 🤣

I thought it was a fair price for the convenience of not leaving the sauna. I like that it is not expected to tip, since you bus your own table. That makes it extra fair!“

“This is the most amazing American dream restaurant that I could have found. Great food, quaint location, honest ownership, good recommendations from other customers and just a plain good meal. The food could have a bit more flavor but that is why you season to taste. I love this place and will gladly return to try other dishes. Please try their new special sauce. It is very good.“

“chicken bowl was so good and great sushi“

“Aikou is outstanding, in all regards…from the service, ambiance, presentation and personality. You will not find a better establishment that tops the charts in all categories. The quality of food is outstanding and exquisite, your orders will speak for themselves.“

“Great place to enjoy with Family and Friends“
