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.“

“Wonderful time at Sakana this weekend! Their sushi is unparalleled in Philly and the service is impeccable.“

“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“

“Would highly recommend. Fantastic food and service.“

“I had the pleasure of enjoying this incredible omakase recently, and it completely blew me away! I loved watching the chefs prepare most of the delectable 29 bites (the hot dishes were prepared in the kitchen), and the customer service by all team members was fantastic. I've had wonderful omakase experiences all over the world, and this was one of the best that I've ever had. I cannot wait to go back.“

“Best sushi around. Great people !“

“The best n freshest sushi I ever ate. Service was impeccable and the drinks are delicious.“

“Amazing time. Food was fast and delicious. my roommate and I went to celebrate 6 months living together and were greeted by amazing staff and the most friendly chef who took the time to chat with us and make us feel welcome. The whole place was clean and modern and it's safe to say my roommate and I will both be coming back again and bringing all our friends!“

“For $9-10, the crepes were very filling. My boyfriend and I got the Shrimp Avocado and my friend got the Strawberry Banana. We all enjoyed them very much and plan to come during our next Philly trip.Only thing I'd suggest is to take names or call numbers out for every order since there was a group of 3+ customers confused about who's order was who's because only the name of the crepes were called out. Still great service and great food.“

“Great service, clean and good quality ingredients.“

“My friends and I walked into the Hibachi and Wings restaurant, we approached right away. The food was great and the people were very nice. I would highly recommended to others. The set up was very nice and organized, along with enough space for others to eat.“

“I just tried Osaka today after passing by it several times. Very glad that I decided to stop in!Absolutely delicious and out of this world Calamari and Soft Shell Crab Tempura appetizers!!The star of the show was the Godzilla cooked Sushi rolls with spicy crab, avocado, cream cheese, made Tempura style with chef sauce! Melt in your mouth delicious!Everything single thing here was hot and fresh! Totally recommended if you're in the Route 73 Berlin, NJ area!Service was very friendly! Outstanding Japanese restaurant with a nice casual relaxing ambiance! I use the Public Storage down the road, so I'll be stopping here FIRST, if I'm hungry and want Sushi! Yum!“

“We love SavoriBowl as our go to spot when we're a bit too lazy or busy to cook, great poke bowls, good flavor, and the owners are super sweet. The last time my husband went in to pick up, they recognized him and recommended their favorite sauce combinations which we will surely try next time. Their poke bowls are solid, ingredients have been fresh and solid, and I like how easy it is to modify and create your own bowl here, and you get a loyalty discount if you use their system. My only comment is probably not a popular one - it's almost too saucey sometimes - but my husband for example, loves the over sauce and he loves their sauce. For me - I generally love ingredients as is, so sometimes the sauce feels like it overpowers the natural flavor of the vegetables or ingredients - but I do agree that the sauce is delicious! My guess it he majority of people like a very saucey bowl, and I'm the exception. We have also tried their chicken katsu - which was very well made, well fried, to perfection. I hope for the best success of SavoriBowl and will continue supporting 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“

“Best sushi around jersey not gonna lie. They are so nice and always inviting! Their food tastes so fresh and I’m always impressed, they never forget things and are EXTREMELY FAST with their orders. I even order custom rolls from them which in itself is incredible because I’m terrified of ordering things from most places like that. My favorite item is the shrimp tempura roll but I put cream cheese on it too. Also they never under sauce!!!“

“Always serve fresh and delicious meal,❤️❤️❤️“

“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“

“Poke Buri is my go to for order out poke bowls. You can order on line at yelp which I do then pick up. They have a lot of options the price is great. The Poke Burri gives you lots of protein too which each bowl. I have never eaten in house but I have had excellent service with my take out orders. When I get home and sit down to enjoy my poke bowl everything is like I ordered it“

“First time ordering from this place, and they serve high quality sushi and food at affordable prices! I've had the salmon rolls as of today, and they are healthy and delicious! The tempura vegetables were quite delectable, and the miso soup was excellent! Friendly service and excellent food!“

“This place has become a home of mine of Friday nights. Kevin is an excellent, skilled sushi chef and keeps positive relationships with his customers. His staff, the elder and waitresses are always professional and courteous. They work incredibly hard to make the entire experience a memorable one. I hope they recover from this recent property loss and temporary closure.“

“Unfreaking-real!!! Elisa M Hoffman and I could not be happier with this AMAZING birthday experience. Of course being huge foodies we were not going to pass up the opportunity to visit one of the most famous and admired chefs restaurants. What we didnt expect was a world class experience and the nicest, most attentive staff i've EVER seen. Not only was the Omakase (chefs selected dining experience) out of this world our server Richard was top notch and we had the pleasure of speaking extensivly with one of the managers Coco who astounded us by going above and WAY beyond to make us feel special and make this birthday dinner one i'll NEVER forget. So amazing grateful. 敬慕する“

“One of my favorite places around! You can eat here at all price points. My favs are Clear Soup for cold days, and then for dinner portions: tataki, poke bowls, and sushi rolls are all fantastic to mix and match. Poke bowls are the best bang for buck. GO HERE IF YOU LIVE CLOSE!“

“fresh and delicious. good portions.“

“Very friendly service and a fantastic atmosphere and decor. All the food was good, but some were better than others (the spicy miso ramen stood out as great, while I wasn't as big of a fan of the seafood ramen, but the others in my group enjoyed it so maybe I'm an outlier). Definitely recommend going here.“

“The sushi was incredible! Our server was so sweet and knowledgeable and helped us decide between all the options. I definitely recommend this place if you’re a sushi fanatic.Parking: There’s plenty of parking during the weekday evenings but weekends are a pain.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space. No stairs.“

“I have ordered twice and can’t wait to order again! By far the best Chinese dishes I have had. The first place when you say extra spicy you actually get it!“

“This was our first visit here and the food was above and beyond what I expected. My wife and I were both pleasantly surprised by everything we had. The Miso Soup was very flavorful - the crab Rangoons were delightful. My Samoan Roll was incredible, and my wife's Sweet Potato Roll was delicious.“

“This is my go-to place for special occasions, like getting an A (or even a B+) in my Penn Law courses. CONGRATULATIONS to the owner for an incredible four years! I've been enjoying Kaseiki's sashimi bowls since the start of the pandemic and have always had wonderful experiences with them. The ingredients are always fresh and even the basic bowls, like their signature Anniversary Bowl, are very artistically done and taste great. I highly recommend the Second Anniversary Bowl, an upgrade that includes delicately prepared scallop, the sweetest shitake mushrooms you've ever had, and mouth-watering, delicious O-toro! The prices are high, but the quality is also high, so it's definitely worth it! Looking forward to enjoying a Chirashi bowl in person someday.“

“I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant and the lovely people that run it. We have been ordering from Sakura since before Covid and have always enjoyed the food and the friendly people that work there. The rolls are fresh and there's a nice variety. Sorry, no pictures but we ate it all too fast ?Parking: The lot always has spaces and the pick up is so convenient due to the drive through window as it was an old Taco Bell.Kid-friendliness: My kids are always greeted and made to feel welcome. They have been given extra treats by the staff and absolutely love going to Sakura to "see our friends."“

“Hello, I wasn’t sure because of the name but I’m glad I stopped. I had the Hibachi mix vegetable w chucks of chicken and nice size shrimp and fried rice, everything was deliciously fresh my rice was not sticky, and it came with a side salad, Thumps Up to #DrunkeCrab!! top off w a breath mint.“

“The staff was so welcoming and we laughed harder than we ever have at hibachi and we have been going to hibachi for years. The chef had so many new tricks and jokes we never heard before that it was so incredibly entertaining!! Best part was that the food was out of this world, so flavorful and the portions were perfect! This is our new favorite spot for hibachi and family dining.“

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

“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.“

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

“I have never been here in person, but I order takeout frequently and the food is always very fresh and delicious.I love their spicy salmon roll, and their spicy crab and spicy tuna are also yummy. The veggie roll is also a favorite of mine. The sashimi is very good and fresh. I prefer salmon because it is healthy. I like to get salmon sashimi, cooked tofu sashimi, and eat it with the lettuce and carrot it's bedded on for flavor and texture. The edamame is so good and fresh.“

“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!!💃🎉“

“Went here last night for dinner with my wife. I don’t remember what my wife got besides the rock shrimp appetizer but I did help her finish her food and all of it was delicious, including the rock shrimp. I am a big eel fan so I got the unagi don as well as the dancing dragon. They were both a big serving, which was excellent. As for service, they were very nice and refills came quickly. I also got a lemon sorbet dessert, I forgot the name of it but it was delicious. If you are looking for a quiet eating location with great sushi this is the place to go. They also have hibachi“

“Stopped by this restaurant while in the area and was not disappointed. We were sat right away, and it was very cute and dimly lit inside. Service could have been a bit better. But everything else was great. I got the salmon hibachi which was super flavorful. This place might also have the best miso soup and salad that I've had from hibachi spots thus far.“

“Incredible experience at Akira for the second time. The service was absolutely excellent. Our waiter literally hustled and was on point with every single thing we needed and he brought out the cutest kids chopsticks for my friend’s son. The food was perfect and delicious and came out quickly. The staff were all personable and friendly. Love this place.Btw try the tempura ice cream. It was unique and SO good!“

“Very comfortable place to be. Started out with edamame and then had the beef ramen. The biggest adjective I could use for this meal was fresh and definitely flavorful. There were so many dimensions to the flavor. Normally at certain Ramen places I only taste salt. Here with the Ramen every ingredient stood out. Definitely will come back. I recommend not only their Ramen but try their dumplings too. Obviously their edamame was awesome as well.“

“A great place to take friends. Never disappointed!“

“everything was great, very clean and the sushi was amazing!“

“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! ⭐️“

“100/10 was surprised to see there wasn't much of a like compared to other spots. We almost went to chipotle or Panda Express until we saw this spot. Smelled so good & it was too!! The staff was friendly & we got such a bang for our buck! 2 people even came up to us to ask where we had got our food! Loved the variety the bento box so much, would definitely recommend to eat here.“

“First time here and it was very clean inside. I ordered a volcano roll and sushi burrito to go and I did not wait too long. Once I got home I devoured the roll and half the sushi burrito. VERY FRESH. I highly recommend if you want fresh sushi and the burrito roll was phenomenal ?????“

“We have been coming here for about a year. Tried it once and never go anywhere else if we can help it. The rolls are fantastic - tasty and fresh every time. so really that's all we get because its so good. Customer service is good and theres 2 front tables for two by the window and a table for 4.Come for the sushi, and come again and again for the sushi...“

“Great Service, Delicious Food, and Authentic Drinks !!!!!!“

“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 place is the reason I now like sushi. It was really yummy but also it's a good idea to eat inside because they have half off on a decent bit of options for sushi.Vegetarian options: Lots of sushi options for vegetarians, and there are things on the other menu suitable as well!“
