50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Warren

“Came here with some friends. Loved the friendly banter with Kimi. Made our time out refreshing and fun. Food was good and fresh. Presentation was lovely as well. Prices are a little high but the quality is worth it. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Sure wish I would have taken photos of the food!! Not only did it look good but it was absolutely delicious!
My boyfriend and his family immigrated here legally from Japan and this is probably the closest I've gotten from his mother's homemade sushi, sashimi or inigeri!
And they even even included a few free things for us that were equally as delicious!“

“excellent food. Best sushi and hibachi rice“

“My wife and I seriously love this place. The food is always incredible, the music is great, and the whole vibe just feels relaxed and welcoming every time we come in. It’s one of those spots you end up craving all week. Everything we’ve tried has been so good, and the atmosphere makes you want to stay and hang out. Easily one of our favorite ramen spots.“

“Have been there so many times with friends, families and my kids. My kids love the traditional Taiwanese noodles, and I love their Japanese rolls. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff add to the overall dining experience, making it our favorite go-to restaurent! Love this place.“

“For those that know me, there has been a legend I’ve spoken of many times. Once upon a time, there was a place which provided me with some of my best culinary memories ever. This legendary place was called Mr. Pi’s Sushi Restaurant in Metuchen, NJ. Almost ten years of amazing experiences I had accumulated there. However, one day this place of legend had eventually relocated and, in the years that followed, I spoke of, and daydreamed of, this legendary place quite often. Then, over a decade later, I accidentally find out that they have relocated back to the area near me. My sheer joy, the smile from ear to ear, the absolute excitement, was so intense it was practically palpable. Speaking of palpable… in their journey before returning to Middlesex County, in Highland Park this time around, they have made their menu even BETTER, which seems almost impossible for a place so legendary, but it’s true. They are the best version of themselves they’ve EVER been! If sushi restaurants have a glow up era, they most definitely are at the summit of it, and will most certainly remain there, as legends do. Welcome to Mr. Pi’s 3.0! Placing a restaurant into legendary status is neither something I do easily, haphazardly nor willy nilly. For, you see, I have quite literally tried sushi all over the world. I’ve had sushi in Europe, the UK, the South Pacific, Australia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and yes, Japan. I’ve had sushi in (almost) every one of the 50 states, except for those states in which I just didn’t feel like risking my health by trying the sushi. Of all these places I’ve been to, all over the world, NOWHERE compares to Mr. Pi’s! They are the truest of diamonds, valuable beyond imagination! In an area of NJ where you can barely walk a block without finding yet another sushi restaurant, Mr. Pi’s OUTSHINES every single one of them, by far! What makes a place so legendary? Their food, first and foremost, is TOP TIER, ALWAYS FRESH, HIGH QUALITY, and BEAUTIFULLY, quite STUNNINGLY, PLATED! Great food alone, although amazing, does not grant legendary status. This next part is where many restaurants sadly fall short these days. SERVICE and HOSPITALITY are an art form that not many have mastered the way owner Jeannette and Sushi Maestro Pi have perfected it. They welcome each and every guest with the warmest of greetings, most genuine of smiles, and truly heartfelt interests in giving their customers a PREMIUM experience. How they are able to remember so many people by name is a talent so challenging it’s practically pure magic in and of itself. After even just a second visit, you will already feel like you are home when you dine here. Our server, Cindy, made sure we always had hot tea in our pot, drinks in our glasses, and our every need anticipated and catered to. She truly excelled in her attention to all the details of our dining experience! The atmosphere is a delight, with so much space that they have multiple dining areas and a banquet room that could easily accommodate 50, possibly even 75, people. They also have (a new territory for Pi’s), a full bar with a variety live music certain nights of the week. In this massive space which was once occupied by a Charlie Brown’s of decent proportions, they have managed to retain all the charm embodied in the sushi restaurants of their prior incarnations. Plenty of space, comfy seating, delightful decor, and a bar as well, make this yet another amazing quality this legend has taken on! Of course, one can not dub a restaurant a legend without discussing the food. In the only three times I’ve been in since discovering it’s reemergence locally, I have been dazzled by the displays of sushi some plated with dazzling miniature ice sculptures, as they’ve floated by my table onwards to their destination where I am sure there were patrons in absolute delight. On the menu you can find many of the usual items found in sushi restaurants, but there is quite a list of items that you will find only at Pi’s. Their special rolls have taken creativity to a new level of transcendence. In additi“

“Updated 9 years later. Still our favorite.

Been coming here for over 15 years and it’s still my local favorite Japanese style restaurant. Food is consistently good, both sushi and kitchen. Menu hasn’t changed much over the years but that’s fine, as they stay true to their strengths. A wholehearted nod to their traditional Japanese and Asian fusion flavors. My parents and I agree it’s the best and closest to authentic sushi and Japanese cuisine in the area, and we’ve been to 9 of them. Service is always attentive, warm, and accommodating. Space is polished and spacious. Great for families, with big or little ones. Takeout is always a breeze.

Solid local Japanese restaurant. Staff is extremely friendly and ambience I a respectable attempt at creating an authentic japanese dining experience. The food is consistently good and with the exception of sushi/sashimi purists, most Japanese food lovers should expect a positive dining experience. Sushi/sashimi fare is good. There are creative and tasty rolls if that is your fancy. The cooked dishes actually taste like my mom's old home cooking and my personal draw. In my opinion, they do a solid job with the hot plates and especially with their nabeyaki udon, perfect on those cold nights. Give it a try with an open mind and bring a generous serving of BYOB.“

“Great experience at KURA!“

“Food was delicious and looked beautiful, service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. I had the hibachi steak and my husband had the shrimp and vegetable tempura. I was pleased with the size of the meal and the flavor. For dessert we had the banana tempura. A delicious treat and only $4. We hope to come back again!“

“Outstanding food and very friendly staff ~ highly recommend!“

“I love noodles plus and noodles plus loves me. They are cheap and great quality, the atmosphere is very cute and cozy and is very cleanly. They have quick and accurate service and the staff even go as far to create personal connection with their customers. They have a great variety of foods on their menu that are all delicious. Its very easy to take out or eat in, and they accept all forms of payment. They don't usually mind if you bring outside drinks. It's usually a bit slow and quiet which makes it a great place to sit and study. I have loved noodles plus for years, they have been a stable part of my school life from highschool to my first few years in college, a cute quiet place with great food I can always rely on as a place to relax and escape worldy problems and stress. I will always be a loyal noodles plus supporter, they really are more than just noodles. I am noodles plus biggest fan!!!!!!!!!! 🍣🍣🍣“

“I tried vegan specialty Mango Tango roll, it was awesome tasty & excellent. The Ginger & Wasabi was very fresh. The taste was amazing, but it'd be nice if they have little bigger portion

Vegetarian options: They have vegan normal & specialty rolls“

“We always enjoy Yuki Hana. Since pandemic we've only ordered take-out, but look forward to dining in-person soon. Favorite dish, besides sushi, is katsudon. Delicious!“

“Great food !! Amazing service!! Absolutely loved it !“

“The food and service here is excellent! We had Chef Leon and he did an excellent job. He is so funny and nice and we were so impressed with the food he cooked - it was delicious! This is the best hibachi we have had in a very long time (we’ve tried a few places and this one is by far the best). The restaurant is nicely decorated and in a beautiful location with its own parking lot. Highly recommended! We will be back.“

“Very nice place, lots of choices and fresh food. Now they are open for dining in, will be coming back“

“This is a brand new, recently opened restaurant and wow did they deliver for first impressions. Food was absolutely incredible. The sushi was fresh and made quickly. I had the volcano roll and the Naruto rainbow row, it was beautiful and delicious. Very good quality cuts and tasted fresh Really impressed by their milk tea as well. We got the original and Taro milk tea and it was fantastic. Staff was also very friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. Would definitely be coming back the next time I’m in town!“

“Hidden gem right in the heart of New Providence. Very sweet and funny staff even the cute little fortune cat statue at the register. Fresh,flavorful and huge portions with a diverse selection of specialty ramen you can modify. Prices are very fair and the quiet spacious interior makes for an ideal date spot. I suggest calling in and than going to pick up 10-15 minutes later.“

“Great very fresh sushi a small out of the way place that is a gem.. We found this place about 2 years ago and haven't gone to another sushi restaurant in our area since...“

“Cute place with convenient parking in the back — we had no trouble finding a spot even on a Friday night. The sushi rolls were large and packed with fish. We were pleasantly surprised with free strawberry mochi and two pieces of tempura at the end. Great experience overall!“

“chicken bowl was so good and great sushi“

“The food was delicious, im not a huge seafood fan but the rolls were so fresh and well portioned. Lets just say i had to go back for more and the lunch deal was a good price even came with miso soup only thing i would say is the rolls were small but overall not bad“

“I recently visited Sultan Wok for a quick meal and was amazed. Their half chicken fried rice and boneless spare ribs were not only delicious but also served remarkably fast. The perfect balance of flavor in every bite and the swift service made my dining experience outstanding. Sultan Wok is definitely the go-to spot for anyone seeking great Chinese food without the hassle of waiting!“

“The best sushi place in NJ! We have been eating sushi for a long time in different places across NJ but none of them can beat Sushi O. The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. The atmosphere and the people working there are also the best! LOVE THIS PLACE!“

“Amazing restaurant, Chef Jun locks it ⬇️, can't wait to come back. "FAT CUP", for the win, check out his awesome menu.“

“Perfect Sunday night take out!“

“Back when I was a wee teeny bopper, my favorite parts of lurking around Bridgwater mall was the Sarku Japan sample lady giving out bites of tantalizing teriyaki chicken. Well, clearly those foundational years have successfully secured my lifelong addiction and our family comes here often, despite the less convenient location. Fast easy and always tasty, we usually grab a few sushi rolls too. A hit with the kids, even the vegetables part. Sarku will always have a special place in my stomach.“

“Amazing fresh sushi and wonderful staff. Was amazed by the freshness and value. Will be back soon for sure.“

“delicious..great lunch specials!!“

“We walked into this place last minute on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday since another sushi place had been unable to accommodate gf. We could not have stumbled upon a better experience! Elan at the sushi bar made us a custom omakase tasting all gluten free and so delicious. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really created a one of a kind meal while making us feel special and taken care of. We ended up with about 15 different courses i believe all fabulous and ended with a special ice cream sushi dessert. Best part was it’s been a bit since we ended and i still feel great, stuffed but i can tell it was celiac safe! We will definitely be back!“

“I stopped into this restaurant for lunch and when I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and was greeted and sat in this cozy restaurant. I was served by Carol and she was nice. I ordered:

Bubble Tea
Eel Avocado Roll
Godzilla Roll
Hot Pot Beef Udon
Hibachi Shrimp w/ Fried Rice & Vegetables

I enjoyed the Bubble Tea and my favorite was the Hibachi Shrimp! It was flavored nice! All in all a good experience!“

“First time. New to town. Got a no-rice roll, a spicy tuna roll and seaweed salad. A strong 4 stars. Very good, but different from what I'm used to...Somerville, NJ. Staff was 100% on point. Friendly and service was fast. I will definitely go back and try more.“

“Love, love, love this place for all you can eat sushi. Its amazing! Highly recommend their spicy seaweed salad, shumai, coconut shrimp, sashimi, tyna, eel, salmon. Their salmon sushi pizza on a flaky crust is amazing. Their sushi and their hot dishes, are also soooo good. This is a hidden gem. The place is BYOB or you can buy soft drinks at the location.“

“soooo good definitely recommend coming here if you're a sushi lover“

“The Chinese food and the sushi here is fresh and delicious. This place is wonderful.“

“good service and good food“

“Food was 4.5, just missing 5 due to some missing touches, spicy scallops roll was not spicy and wasabi tuna dumplings were missing wasabi.

With this said the sushi and sashimi was excellent and no reason to not return time and again!

Service is kind, attentive, and professional“

“never really had anything that tastes bad“

“Great hibachi dinner experience, dining in is cozy but not crowded on weekday night, great to have conversations for two.Meal certainly filling for dinner, the hibachi shrimp lives up to the "The most flavorful shrimp you'll ever taste" Description.Service was quick and pleasant.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, very spacious. Courteous, prompt, and attentive wait staff. Food is delicious and the menu selections are many, including Japanese and Thai dishes. Portions are quite generous, and their cost is very reasonable. Ample parking, right in the center of downtown New Providence amidst many fine stores and services all within walking distance. Highly recommended!“

“Best budget sushi ever. There was no toilet paper. I guess that's not covered by the budget. It's cool because it's a double restaurant - there's Pizza on one side and sushi on the other. They do takeout sushi which is good because seating is limited. My best friend almost hit his face when he yanked the door open because it was stuck shut. The place has character. If you're here for the sushi you will not be disappointed. If your here for the atmosphere, you probably shouldn't be.“

“It’s pretty good but I’ve only been here once. I’ve tried a lot of Asian fast food places and their food is better than average. The lo mien is tasty, not too salty or dry. I also got the sesame chicken which was tender but just a lil too strong with the seasoning (kind of salty). The tofu was reallly good!! Nice customer service too.“

“Nice variety of foods for 1 complete price, and quite tasty“

“The sushi here never disappoints! I don't order here often but I've never had a bad or wrong order. The BBQ squid is so good, if you like that sort of thing. The Godzilla roll was my go to but I tried the Valentine roll and it's excellent. So many choices but love my favorites. I highly recommend trying them if you haven't already.“

“So I've never been much of a sushi person, but my last trip here with friends changed my mind on that so now I'm locked in sushi mode ! I really like the all you can eat aspect so I can sample a little bit of everything and I really enjoyed my Seafood Udon, mackerel and crab sashimi, Edison rolls and more ! Want to come here soon !“
