25 Best Japanese Restaurants near Trenton

“Not sure why the reviews were bad. My salmon nigiri was excellent and soft despite looking a bit less presentable. The Beef Ho Fun was delicious and addictive with soft chewy rice noodles. The service was insane at around 2 lb. I weighed it because I diet. The spicy tuna hand roll was good. Prices are competitive and they deliver themselves, outside the apps.“

“Went last night with two friends for my birthday! I think our chef said his name was Gino! He was great and our waitress and the food was great! My only complaint was that the music was blaring so, we couldn't hear what anyone was saying and we really could even talk to each other!!! It took away from the experience since our chef was saying things that we couldn't hear. I did ask three different staff members if they could lower it to no avail. We don't think we will go back there again! We had to keep asking our waitress to repeat herself and that got to be exhsusting😣“

“Decided to find an Omakase place in NJ and avoid going to NYC and I am so glad we did. The food and service were exquisite. Every morsel served was extraordinary, aesthetically perfect, and the menu was filling (often a problem for me at Omakase places). Price was spot on for the full meal which includes 12 pieces of nigiri amongst several other courses. My son and I enjoyed Naoki and can’t wait to go back with both my kids! Unfortunately, there is no vegetarian menu during Omakase service.“

“This place is an absolute must! The BEST steak I ever had! The platter comes with Filet Steak,Mixed veggies brown rice & soup or salad. You will not be disappointed.“

“Always come here if I’m hanging around Princeton. Has to be my favorite store hands down. Tight space but lots of variety of snacks, ready to go meals, drinks, treats, fresh meats, produce, cutlery, and trinkets. I always get one of their homemade onigiri and always recommend it to friends if they’re with me.“

“The service and food were excellent! We got the Sushi Boat and couldn't believe how fantastic it was. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!“

“I have been ordering from Happy Wok for over ten years. We usually get sushi for takeout and the fish is always fresh and delicious. The service is also friendly and welcoming when we dine in. Besides for sushi, the menu has tons of options and they are all great!! you can taste the Happy wok hei!“

“Authentic Japanese sushi and comfort food. All of their fish is fresh, their sushi rice is perfect, and their miso soup is authentic miso.We stopped by for lunch and were blown away. Great, welcoming service. The interior is cozy. They serve fresh green tea, which is always a plus!This is the best quality sushi and Japanese cuisine you’ll find in all of Princeton.“

“I tried this new sushi spot and grabbed a to-go order—it was so good! The sushi and rolls were fresh and delicious. The best part is the bosses are the sweetest and so kind—it really made the experience awesome. I’m coming back for sure.“

“We really enjoyed our Special Rolls at Mizu Japanese Cuisine. 4 rolls for the three of us was plenty of food! We had Crazy Roll, Jazz Roll, Dynamite Roll, and Lava Roll. Their Seaweed Salad was a great beginning to our feast.
The restaurant is plain and simple, nothing fancy. The food makes it worth going back to.“

“Today is my third time ordering from Akia Fusion. This time I added the Tai chai Bubble tea to stir up the mix. Lol Boston roll. California roll. Shrimp Tempura with side salad and miso soup.“

“This place deserves a 10/5 stars. We used to live in the area, and go to this spot religiously. We now live 1 hour 30 minutes away, and we still come here as often as possible because no other place makes food like them. If you had a bad experience, you were just having a bad day. You need to come again, and just enjoy.“

“The best food, comes out hot on time and even if you order apps and dinner all at once you won't get your food all at once or feel like you are being rushed. The atmosphere is great and the service is exceptional!!!! and when you go dine in please look for him he is terrifc especially with the kids!!! we ask for him always!!! hes the best!!!“

“Meant to say 0 stars. I ordered pizza rolls and was given vegetable rolls which I do not like and they would not take them back. They should've told me they didn't have pizza rolls instead of trying to trick me and take my money. I threw them in the trash!“

“Food and service was fantastic“

“We have been going to Jade Asian for many years and it remains one of our favorite places for Chinese food. Most of the time we order takeout, but we have also dined in and every visit has been a great experience. The service is always friendly and attentive, and the people who work there are kind and welcoming. You can really feel that they care about their customers.

One of the things that makes Jade Asian special is how they are willing to go the extra mile. They even created a custom combination platter for us with peanuts, which has become one of our go to meals. It is rare to find a place that is so flexible and thoughtful about what their regular customers enjoy.

The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistent. Through all the challenges of the past few years, including the pandemic, their prices have remained fair and the quality has never dropped. That means a lot, and it is one of the reasons we keep coming back.

Jade Asian truly feels like home to us. The food, the people, and the atmosphere all come together to create a comforting and reliable experience. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Chinese food and a place that treats you like family.“

“Went here last night with a friend! Service was lightning fast, and the noodles had just the right bite to them!“

“We stopped in on the way back from a trip to Trenton. We searched for a place to get Pho, soup dumplings and boba tea. This place hit on all three.
This is a small store front and at 9 PM on a Saturday it was very busy. There were a few seats open but most were full. There were a half dozen or more people waiting for food and drinks and a steady stream of people were coming in to pick up takeout.
The decor is contemporary, bright and busy lots of signs, specials, menus, etc.
There were only three employees visible and all were in constant motion.
The service was efficient without time to do much more than acknowledge each customer.
The food and drinks are focus and the draw
I am not a huge fan of boba tea, but when asked to try it, I have to say that it was excellent. The milk tea was rich and flavorful, the bobas were not too sweet, the texture was so much better than others that I've had. (Admitting that I am no expert, I will say that I will definitely explore the drink options when I am able to visit again.)
The soup dumplings were delicious. Many different flavors shown through and blended perfectly.
My favorite pho is roast pork, which was not an option, so we got the standard beef. It was also very good.
This seems to be a Princeton staple and I can absolutely see why. I wish they were closer. I would absolutely be a regular if it was close to home!
I would highly recommend this place!“
