50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Stratford

“Finally gave them a try and was pleasantly surprised. The sushi rolls were delicious just cut a little thicker then I’m used too, and they were stuffed a little more than I’m used too. They tasted good, and left me wanting more. So, I will definitely be going back to give a try to some of there other menu options.“

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

“What is the specialty of this sushi restaurant?“

“Super Volcano Roll was excellent!!!“

“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“

“Awesome experience!!!! The freshest fish I’ve ever had. Shipped from Japan daily. Great place!!!“

“Ordered Shiso for delivery on Saturday night after reading some glowing reviews online and it did not disappoint - will be my new go-to for sushi takeout. Got the Chef's choice sushi and tuna/aji sushi and every piece was amazing and so fresh. Also got the spicy tuna crispy rice (don't have a photo) but would skip this next time, it just doesn't travel well. Can't wait to try Shiso in person!“

“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 boyfriend and I wanted to try something new in the Northern Liberty area as we frequent the area quite a bit, and decided to give Yanaga a try. After just one dine in experience, it's become one of our new favorite spots to eat, and it's definitely on the restaurant rotation for when we go out to eat!

The place is very decked out with anime stickers, manga panels, and the like, while also playing different kinds of anime on the TVs they have on premise. I really recommend the spot, for just the food alone even if you don't like anime.“

“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!!!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“I am working my way through this entire menu and every dish I have tried so far is not only excellent but is actually impressive. Everything from the cold to hot food to the service is fantastic. This place is a gem“

“The food is always good! Service is prompt and friendly! We love Yoshimoto! ♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“I think it’s my favorite take out sushi nowadays. Yes, we haven’t been served inside but we got multiple times take out and it’s pretty consistent and delicious! You know what is my favorite - it’s Tuna Hako Maki, it’s just what you want from tuna :) Volcano Maki is not what you think it’s better! Try it! Also my child likes chicken, so we get him Chicken Katsu and its generous portion and has sides, a lot of sides: miso soup, rice and sauce, salad too. It seems a good deal for Katsu dish. We tried other rolls too, so it’s good. Definitely will be getting again.“

“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!!!“

“Popped in a hibachi lunch with my DW during the Sutumn Festival here in town. Excellent food, and the hibachi lunch is a steal at 16 bucks for the filet mignon. Not a typo, you read it right. A bargain. They serve it 11 to 3. It is pictured. Includes the miso soup, also pictured.

Friendly and courteous wait staff. The spicy yellowtail roll (pictured) was very good. The pictures do not do justice to the good presentation. The Wasabi kicked butt.

If you're in Moorestown for lunch, definitely give Akira2 a try. Great value for price paid.

Update April 2026...went for an early dinner and Akira did not disappoint. The Samurai roll is outstanding, and the hibachi seafood for 2 is a screaming bargain. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. You simply won't go wrong here. Important note: BYOB.“

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

“Great value for the price. Whenever I go into an AYCE sushi place, you never actually know how good the sushi will be, but the sushi here was above what I usually expect from AYCE sushi. Nothing was lacking or disappointing - not going to be the finest sushi you’ve ever eaten, but definitely a solid offering, especially considering price.“

“Delicious and fabulous service!“

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

“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 !!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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 .“

“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 have ordered take out from Sakura several times and it always hits the spot. Because the restaurant is a repurposed Taco Bell (and still maintains that sweet 1990s Taco Bell architecture), it is incredibly convenient to swing through the drive-thru and collect fresh made hibachi and sushi.

One of our favorite dishes is the house fried rice, well made and packed with chicken, steak, and shrimp. Easy to share while trying a bunch of other dishes.

The restaurants pickup times have always been spot on, with our food being served hot. Portions are generous and prices are more than reasonable.“

“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!!💃🎉“

“Great food! Convenient since they deliver!“

“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♥!“

“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“

“The atmosphere was great. Sushi seemed to be good, although I didn't get any. Looked to be super clean and had a sushi bar with very vibrant ingredients.

We ordered the hibachi. It was ok. Not that it was bad, it was edible for sure. But it didn't come with fried rice, it was just white rice in a Chinese container. I was hoping for proper hibachi fried rice. The rest of it was good. Nothing to blow your socks off, but good. I would definitely recommend to people who aren't looking for a whole hibachi dinner and more of a quick lunch, but for the price it was a little underwhelming.

Again, the food itself was decent. But for the price of a hibachi meal I could have picked a few other places local that are substantially better.

Edit: the response from the owner was excellent and I've raised it to a 4 because honestly taking customers in stride with grace deserves at least that.“

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

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

“Our server Martin was very attentive. We had the calamari app which was plain w goat cheese and we requested the spicy peppers on the side. The zucchini crab cake was amazing! The sea urchin pasta was also delicious and unique. I would go back here.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The absolute best handrolls I have ever had and will ever have!!! I ordered the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and spicy yellowtail handrolls. The rolls taste extremely fresh and the housemade soy sauce is incredible. The service is quick! I can't wait to come back.“

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

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

“The food was great. I went on valentines day and had a great time. I ordered some fried chicken and the tonkatsu ramen. I feel that the fried chicken was a bit expensive compared to the portion size but it was delicious. The ramen was delicious. The chicken in it was nice and tender. The broth was also very good. As for the interior, it was nice and cozy. However, some of the tables are kinda small so you have to be careful how you order your food. It's also a great place for otakus. My biggest complaint is the drinks, specifically the soda. You are buying a can of soda, not a glass or cup of soda. Which means no free refills. $3 is very steep for a small can. Overall, it's a great restaurant.“

“Five stars delicious food“

“Great food great service lots of fun“

“Absolutely amazing Japanese restaurant! The sushi was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented, and the udon noodles were rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We also tried the soup, which was comforting and delicious. Everything tasted authentic and high quality. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves real Japanese food! I’ll be back 😅“

“Brings me right back to my high school days when I went to the Burlington Mall for Sarku Japan every day I worked. Little family owned space with absolutely delicious, incredibly fresh food. The portions are huge and you get 2 meals out of one order. My wife and I come here all the time when we want a cheap meal. Love these guys.“

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