25 Best Japanese Restaurants near Somerville

“Great hole in a wall place. Consistent quality over the years and management perturbations.
Not many authentic sushi places still left in NJ.
Our kids from California can't believe combination of quality and reasonable price, lol.“

“I've been here several times and we love it! Even with a full dining room, the sushi is prepped quickly and is fresh. We love the seaweed salads they have as well! Byob. Not exactly a quiet place if u are looking to get cozy. They do have seats in front of where they prepare“

“Excellent place. Come here for special occasions. Excellent all you can eat!“

“We celebrated a family birthday at Yutaka Hibachi in Somerville, and it was an unforgettable experience! The chefs are incredibly skilled and entertaining, making the meal both delicious and fun. Everyone in our group was impressed by the quality of the food—from perfectly cooked steak and shrimp to fresh sushi and tasty fried rice.“

“Aah. First of all those rice balls are just delicious. This would be my first time having the rice balls and let me tell you I will be coming back for more of those. I got the salmon or tuna Mayo ball. I ended up having to text my friend about the ball itself and hyped it up. I loved the flakes they put on top they really payed attention to detail. Now ramen I’ve had multiple times and we have a little ramen group chat where we share the best ramen places around. You can bet we mentioned this place to them in the group chat. I loved the broth it was my favorite part by far.“

“excellent food. Best sushi and hibachi rice“

“We walked in later in the evening, for a quick meal and the place didn’t disappoint. It’s an unassuming place , conveniently located. The service was quick , the food served hot and it’s delicious. We enjoyed everything we had from the ramen , chicken teriyaki to spring rolls. Would recommend and will come back.“

“I was curious because another reviewer said that out of the 30 ramen places he went to in NJ, this was in the top 3. He’s right! I ordered the black garlic ramen, and it was delicious. Tender pork chasu and the broth wasn’t too salty. I also love that they included corn and bamboo. Very reasonable around $13. Some might want more than 2 pieces of pork, but I thought overall it was a good portion size. We also enjoyed the takoyaki and spicy girl roll (not spicy at all but had salmon, tuna, avocado with crunchy pieces). Service was attentive but not that friendly. Place was clean and decorated with many cool Lego sets! The only negative was the mango bubble tea. It didn’t taste like mango at all. Weird flavor. Save yourself and go to Gong Cha for high quality tea. But I do recommend the food at this place!“

“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.“

“My favorite Japanese restaurant! The food and service are exceptional!“

“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“

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

“fresh food and friendly staff.“

“Wow~ I found a decent raw fish and sushi restaurant after a year and a half since coming to the US. It's hard to find a house like this even in Korea, but I was lucky.
I really recommend it to anyone who enjoys authentic sushi.
president. I ate well~^^“

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

“Loved their lunch box with chicken teriyaki. Wife had several rolls, and liked all of them. Became our favorite Asian restaurant in Bernards/Warren area. It may be crowded during the evening hours. Recommend to order take out rather than waiting to be seated.“

“Went here today on my work break for the first time, and I love it! The sushi tastes fresh, the staff are friendly, the service was quick, and the street is beautiful. Prices are fair for the quality you are getting. They are takeout only, but there are plenty of cute spots to sit and eat, including a table in front of the restaurant! I took my order to a local park and had a super relaxing lunch. Highly recommend!“

“The most fresh sushi you can find in New Jersey in the hillsbrough and belle meade area and Manville area always fresh mouth watering on every bite it’s make you want to order more and more because it’s so good but you got to have mindset your eyes bigger then tummy to have the right amount but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS “

“Always fresh! Owners are wonderful people’“

“The food is delicious? and the service attitude of the staff is very good??? The only drawback is that it is too hot to eat in. There is no air conditioning. There is no air conditioning. There is no air conditioning...How can there be no air conditioning! If there is still no air conditioning, I will not choose it again next time. I hope it will be resolved soon. Overall, I am very satisfied, especially the service attitude. ?“

“Very Good food and Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I love their garlic shrimp with scallops menu item. I always get it for take-out. I have eaten at least 20 of them. There is a problem with their packaging. They put the food into a white plastic container that ALWAYS leaks. The container is not water-proof. They put the white container into a brown bag and put that into a plastic bag. The sauce leaks from the white container through the brown bag and into the plastic bag. When I open the white container, I get sauce from the bottom of the container all over my kitchen counter and have a mess to clean up. I have seen other take-out containers and NONE of them ever leak. This business needs to get a liquid-proof or water-proof container to put the food in so the sauce does not leak out. Wake up please!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered a take-out today July 31, 2024 and was surprised to see they have a new container that, when held upright, does not leak. One good step in the right direction. I wish they would go one more step and use a truly watertight container. Many restaurants use waterproof containers so an even better type of container does exist.“

“Was passing through heading to Princeton NJ and spotted this restaurant on the way. Food was great and everyone was friendly with smiles. Of course another place where I could not stop myself from eating and I lived every minute. Please come by and enjoy their foods. Super yummy“

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

“Went here for dinner with my significant other since we wanted to try something new. The restaurant looks nice and is tucked away at the plaza’s corner. The atmosphere is cozy and quiet while we enjoyed our dinner. We ordered miso soup and sushi pizza for starters. Then, the sashimi dinner and different sushi rolls. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was since this was our first time here. We thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes we chose and even had dessert. Service was good, but it kind of took some time for the food to come out. It is a bit pricey for the amount of food you get, it might be better to stop by during the lunch hours. Overall, great experience and we’ll be stopping by again.“
