50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Stratford

“Hewa is the restaurant where my love for sushi started. It is a great value with a wide variety and is a staple dinner option at my house. However after eating sushi from several other restaurants I have to unfortunately say, it is not the best. Don't get me wrong it's still really good and sometimes I just need a good heeling of Hewa, but it's the variety that allows Hewav to excel not necessarily the quality. That being said they are the best of the middle, only being beat by higher end swanky sushi places. Everyone should go here for the every day sushi or Chinese, it is just a solid meal everytime.“

“Awesome menu, great vibes and really tasty food. Must try this place.“

“What is the specialty of this sushi restaurant?“

“We happened upon this gem purely by chance. We had an amazing meal from A-Z (!!!) The sushi is phenomenal; sit at the newly designed sushi bar in the back and enjoy unique daily catches that come in through the connections the owner has with local fishermen. The restaurant is also known for their aged steaks, and Kobe prime rib, which we will try next time. I had the miso black bass and it was one of the best flavors with fish I have ever had. The broth had such a delicate shiitake mushroom flavor, which I loved. I literally couldn’t have had enough of this delicate, delicious dish. I could have had two orders and eaten it all! I think this dish epitomizes what the word UMAMI means. I also had the sautéed mushroom extravaganza, a treat for every taste bud of incredible flavors melted with a delicate sauce. My husband had their unique collection of sushi and sashimi choices that were all enjoyed at their stunningly beautiful sushi bar, complete with two young, passionate chefs who love what they do, and treasure their personal designs of the fish and rolls. All the rolls are presented in this great wooden cradle design, which I thought was so unique and functional. The owner was all smiles and genuinely happy to have had us try his new restaurant. I recommend it highly for either an exceptional steak meal (all are btw, so reasonably priced so order them for sure), or the traditional sushi. You won’t be disappointed. This will be our weekly go-to restaurant and we are counting the days until we will return, which actually will be next Tuesday the 9th! Bravo to the whole team at Umami and thank you for your passion for Japanese food, and for doing it right from A-Z. We will see you soon! Debbie and Gene“

“My wife and I visited this place to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary, and we couldn’t be in a better restaurant. We were warmly welcomed and very well taken care of by the entire team. The owner “V” even came personally to greet us — such a kind and gracious person. This is definitely a place we’ll recommend to many friends and acquaintances, as the experience was truly wonderful from start to finish.“

Tiny out of the way place which was cozy, sushi and sashimi were excellent and fresh, spicy miso ramen was unbelievable!! Portions were large as well so come hungry!! The young man that served us was very courteous and friendly! We will definitely be back!!!“

I brought a friend here last night that was visiting from out of town, she can be a hard critic but she left happy. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! I will be back!“

“Been searching for good japanese restaurant for quite some time. Let me just say that Mikado far exceeded our expectations. From tge appetizers to dinner, it was exceptional. Our server, Michelle, was great. We had tge seared pepper tuna sushi app - so fresh and delicious. My husband had the hibachi with filet and lobster - amazing too. My son had the combo udon noodles - ate every bite! We had the tempura banana dessert - delicious as well as the chocolate mousse cake and coppa cafe. Amy at the front desk was so gracious and sweet. We will definitely be back many times. Give this place a try - you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Delicious food, friendly and fun servers. Looking forward to returning soon!“

“We had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally did. It's a cute little place, the service is very good, and the food is good, but the portions are very small for the most part. I ordered a miso soup, a seaweed salad, a tuna roll, a salmon roll, and a mochi ice cream and I still was not very full afterwards. You get just a little bit of seaweed salad for $5.95. The rolls are tiny. You get one small mochi cut in half for $2.50. I might order a set dinner next time or more likely go somewhere else where I can get more food for my money.“

“I love Akira every time! We live in town and go regularly for take out, eat in, and hibachi. We have gone multiple times for hibachi and the service is great, atmosphere is fun, and they are accommodating of young children. Out son has more and more fun each time we go. I also love the sushi variety and flavor. So happy to have a non Italian spot in town!“

“For all all you can eat location, it is good quality food at a reasonable price in a clean and quiet atmosphere. It's mot cluttered with tables and the service is quick and timely. There is small fee for take away, but it's nothing crazy.“

“It's one of the best authentic japanese restaurants in South Jersey! The ambienence is casual and welcoming. The staff is extremely friendly and delivered top-tier service. Takeout is available. We dined in and had the japanese cucumber salad (highly recommend if you like spicy pickle flavors), takoyaki, ma-yu (black garlic ramen), tonkotsu (fried pork) ramen and red bean mochi ice cream. The portions are generous, and ramen can be customized to accommodate your flavor preference. A perfect place for a date night or sharing a meal with friends / family.“

“Best Japanese cuisine around. Sushi made in front of you. Everything is so fresh and authentic“

“Delicious and fabulous service!“

“Fav place♥!“

“I ordered online through the website. You can preorder and choose the time you will pick up your food. The service is exceptional and the food is amazing. Highly recommend ordering ahead through the website. It's way better than delivery and less expensive.“

“Delicious food from great people. Always ready on time and very satisfying.“

“Had dinner there last night was so disappointed that they no longer doing the hibachi cooking at your table…over all meal was good (shrimp fried rice was very good) …our server Nicole was gracious & very attentive…would go back but would try something different…“

“The ambience was very lovely and the food was very delicious.“

“We love it there! Especially our Vicky! Our Dee! All the sushi chefs and the owners! We love to see everyone when we come every week!! We have our favorite foods there and we are in Japanese Heaven!! Thank you! ARIGATO!!💃🎉“

“Took my 5-year-old daughter for her first hibachi lunch. The chef made her feel very special. She really enjoyed the show, especially the volcano. I had the filet mignon and chicken and was barely able to eat everything. My daughter enjoyed the steak, and my wife had scallops and said that they were really well prepared.The service was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean too.All in all a fun afternoon.“

“I finally stopped into Sakura Japanese Steak House and ordered some takeout. A few shrimp tempura rolls and shrimp avocado rolls. Delicious, I will be going back. Service was great, the rolls were made fresh while I waited, and I did not have to wait long. Even at the very busy dinner time. The phone was ringing constantly and the staff was quick to answer and take the orders that were coming in....If you are a fan of sushi I recommend Sakura Japanese Steak House on the White Horse Pike in Oaklyn.“

“Unassuming from the outside, but delicious food! Super friendly service, clean inside. Fish was fresh and all the rolls we tried were great. Great selection of raw and cooked rolls at reasonable prices. Highly recommend the sweetheart, shrimp mango, and green money rolls“

“thanks so much for taking great care of us we very much enjoyed everything! everything was very fresh !! loved it and will definitely be back“

“The ramen here is so flavorful. The buns are to die for! The service is good too. During our first weekend visit a few months ago, we had the best waitress. My wife eats gluten free and she spared no effort to make sure we were accommodated. It’s rare seeing such an enthusiastic server. We cannot recall her name, but she was the pretty young lady with the big glasses and glitter. We’ve had other servers since, and they weren’t bad at all. Food good, service great. Will definitely visit again when we are back in the city.“

“I haven't been there for a long time. The indoor environment is still good, but the music is very loud, so it is not a good place for chatting.“

“the suchi was delicious I'm sorry I'm so hungry I didn't take a photo the light vegetable soup and ramen was very good I'm Mexican and my palate is quite demanding I liked the experience. I told my husband I recommend the Japanese pozole !! mexican joke !!!“

“Great food great service lots of fun“

“Wow, what an amazing outdoor teppanyaki experience in the backyard! The food was absolutely delicious, with the meat cooked to perfection on the hot plate—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The host was so welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. The whole atmosphere was lively and fun, with everyone enjoying the great food and good company. It's a fantastic way to spend time with friends and family. I highly recommend this backyard teppanyaki to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable dining experience!“

“Great food! Convenient since they deliver!“

“Great dinner!!! Love this place. They are consistent every visit, all the staff is professional and awesome! Been going here for years and love it every time“

“We ate pickup/takeout from here nearly weekly when we lived locally and now only visit annually but go out of our way to eat here any chance we can when we fly back! We were thrilled to support them through the uncertain pandemic time and are so glad they’re still open. Incredible quality rolls for the price. We love this family-run business. They remember us even when we’ve been away for years. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“The place is such a gem. The restaurant is small size but is nice clean . The owners and staff were very friendly. All the Sushi appeared were very fresh . Highly“

“Five stars delicious food“

“This was our first time going here and whereas we may or may not ever get to go there again I highly recommend it. The service was perfect the food was amazing and it was a comfortable setting. We actually found the place by accident, we were traveling and our children decided they were hungry so we just pulled off of the highway and found some place that we could all agree and I am so happy we did. You all did a wonderful job.“

“Honestly one of the best freshest sushi in the area. They also feature some fantastic Japanese cuisine“

“We came on a whim, and were blown away by the sushi. The miso butter cod and the eel signature rolls in particular were excellent, but everything we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. Will be back next time we’re in town.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian portion of the menu is comparatively small, but the options look tasty“

“The crepes and teas were both delicious, and I would definitely go back for the food. The restaurant itself was a bit dingy. A roach did fall from the ceiling at one point near the table I was sitting at, but again the food was worth it. For all that I'll give it a Monty Mole Nice!“

“Everything is so good! Fresh Sushi! New Batches of sushi rice everyday, love the people who work there. Friendly environment! Very Generous! Amazing Service! The only sushi spot, I enjoy eating at. Please come out and check it out yourself! Will not disappoint. Deserve a 5.0 star! ⭐️“

“I had a unique situation with my food last night and I wanted to thank the staff on duty for handling it so quickly and professionally!“

“I stopped by here for lunch and was not disappointed! The food was good, cooked to order and you got plenty of it!
The Staff was nice and she helped me place my order because I wasn't sure what I wanted!
I would definitely recommend this location!“

“Very tasty typical Asian food. Drinks are served in awesome plastic cups with a happy cat on them. The prices are cheap, you can even order half a portion. There are always a lot of customers here, which is not surprising. I recommend this place!“

“I am a grad student at Rowan, so I am on a budget. Most of the restaurants close to Rowan (the ones on Rowan Blvd in particular) are pricey. This restaurant is within my budget around $10. I asked the owner if I could order differently than what was on the menu. Buns and fries are not my favorite so in place of them I asked for wings, dumplings and rolls. She cooked it for me. Next time I will order rice and shrimp (love shrimp).“
