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.“

“What is the specialty of this sushi restaurant?“

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

“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.“

“Love love 💕 Great Atmosphere, wonderful, loved food(:“

“I have been passing this over a while I have a craving for sushi I tell you what it was AWESOME!!! the staff AWESOME!! the service AWESOME!! if you like that cui·sine it's the place to dine or take out“

“My third time back and Yanaga, and it didn't disappoint! I love the mini tasting they offer - such a great deal since I can't always spring for the full omakase. The sushi is fresh and delicious, the cocktails are creative and complex, and the happy hour deals are so worth it! I tried the wagyu hot dog for the first time and even though I came there for the raw fish, that was a standout menu item for me.
The ambiance is laid back and fun, never pretentious. The waitresses and friendly and knowledgeable and never made me feel rushed.
I already can't wait to be back!“

“Tuna Bar is one of my favorite restaurants! Especially love that cocktail with the gin wasabi & cucumber 🍸😍🍣“

“This is a lovely dining experience! Delicious fresh fish sushi & sashimi, ramen is exceptional--I especially love the mushroom broth ramen while my husband usually orders the pork broth one. All noodles homemade. Good beer selection, wonderful green tea. We bring friends from out of town here whenever we can. The service is also excellent.“

“Absolutely highly recommend! Foods amazing, people are very friendly and attentive. I have had sushi about every restaurant in the area and this is my new favorite! Don't walk, run to Yu sushi! Let's show them some support so that they're around long into the future!❤️❤️❤️Love, love, love them!“

“Fiancé and I stopped by because our other meal plans fell through. He’s had ramen before I have not. For my first experience it was absolutely fantastic! 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!!!“

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

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Delicious and fabulous service!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“My family and I have been coming here for the last 4 years. The food is amazing, ever. Single. Time. I have been to various Ramen places from Jersey, to Pennsylvania, to New York and I have yet to find ramen better than this place here. #1 .“

“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“

“Don’t be fooled by appearances (of restaurant)!
If you love sushi and/or sashimi, you won’t find better quality, larger portions, or better value anywhere!
My native Japanese wife and her friends give Sakura a big thumbs up!“

“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!!💃🎉“

“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 !!!“

“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“

“Great food! Convenient since they deliver!“

“The food was delicious. The sushi we ordered was all fresh & they had a really good selection. We also ordered hibachi & teriyaki and ended up leaving with leftovers for all. The service was great too. Would eat in again & will be adding to our regular take-out rotation.“

“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…“

“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.“

“Fav place♥!“

“Order was take out only, however the restaurant has a nice, calm atmosphere. All food items ordered were very good and tasty. One critique: the Basil Chicken dish was pretty light on the chicken; lots of vegtables. This was not the case about a week ago with the same order.
But overall, very good! And we'll be back!“

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

“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“

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

“One of the best Japanese hand rolls I’ve had in so long! I can’t believe this place exists in Chinatown. Everything was so tasty, especially the miso cod hand roll. We also liked the sweet potato roll as well. Somehow we liked the wagyu one the least. But overall, very remarkable place!“

“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!“

“Had a really outstanding meal at Koto Sushi! We ordered a couple of large rolls (both delicious), a tuna avacado salad, and the Nebekaki Udon Noodle soup. Everything was especially fresh and tasty. The Udon Noodel soup was exceptional. Service was friendly and professional. Chef JJ came by to ask how everything was and we also had a nice conversation at the end of our meal. Highly recommended!“

“Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. Great fresh vegetarian options with delicious tomato broth. Good vibes and music. Clean bathrooms.“

“Great food great service lots of fun“

“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!“

“Love the sushi and all food they have.“

“Food is amazing and service is outstanding! Cherri and the rest of the staff are always so warm and friendly!“

“Fantastic! We were staying right across the street and were looking for a ramen place to check out and decided to stay close by. The ramen was delicious, super flavorful, with a great depth of flavor. We also had the crab sushi which was also incredible, the addition of caviar on top added a nice sweetness to the sushi and the crunch of the soft shell crab added a great texture. Highly recommend trying Yamitsuki while visiting Philly!“

“Great sushi and environment. Downtown Haddonfield is extremely old school with lots of small shops, so allow time to do some window shopping.“

“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!“
