50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Norristown

“Amazing restaurant with great sushi and some of the BEST RAMEN not just in the area, but in South East PA. I crave it at least 2-3 times a week and the sushi options are amazing and the fish is always top notch, fresh and cut perfectly. I love this place.“

“The wait staff is super friendly. The food is delicious. The Korean Stews are our favorites!“

“Ever since we discovered Bonjung we can’t get enough of their delicious food. My husband and I have gone there three times in the past 10 days. The food is absolutely delicious and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Can’t recommend it enough. They knew it was my birthday on Saturday and I got a complimentary fried ice cream.“

“Very good“

“"Kumanon 3 is awesome! food was very good & great service! Can't wait to be back"! Bubble Tea Mango Delicious“

“Toyosu offers attractive, delicious sushi, sashimi, and poke, with a focus on take-out customers—if you opt to eat at one of the few tables available, you will still receive and consume your food in plastic containers. However, you probably won’t mind because you’ll be too busy devouring crisply presented morsels of fish, prepared by aces with big-league experience.“

“​I had a fantastic meal here recently. The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented—you can really tell they use high-quality ingredients.
​The service was equally impressive; the staff was attentive and welcoming to make sure we had everything we needed. It’s the perfect spot for a delicious sushi. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great selections, best sushi I've ever had! Highly recommend.“

“Great food , must have the tea cold tea .“

“Beautiful decor, very cozy and ambient. Our server was very nice and helpful, as my daughter and I have never been there. Chef Tony made us delicious sushi rolls and plated the sashimi beautifully. We had dessert, they have a variety of mochi and I had the tempura ice cream.. omgoodness it was so delicious! If you're in the area and in the mood for good food and relaxing atmosphere, stop in and tell them I sent you!“

“My family and I had an incredible dining experience tonight at Umai. We had a special, Kinmedai aka Golden Eye Snapper that was so fresh and tasty, out of this world good! We also had a treat with broiled tuna cheek that was also outstanding. Otoro was so velvety and rich, spicy hotate, sweet ebi, unagi, fried crabs, incredible sushi rolls, savory Akadashi (my son ordered a second it was so good) and everything else we ordered tonight was just incredible. Thanks so much to Rae and his wonderful staff for one of the best meals I've ever had - the best sushi in this area for sure and such friendly excellent service to accompany it! 🙂 Thanks for such wonderful hospitality and all the extra goodies Rae. It was wonderful to meet you and sample the fruits of your masterful culinary skills!“

“Takumi is truly a gem. The sushi is consistently pristine, incredibly fresh, and exceptionally delicious, especially for the price. What really sets it apart are the thoughtful little touches—delicate dabs of caviar and other unexpected accents that enhance and elevate each piece without overpowering the fish.

My friend and I started with the oysters and tuna tasting platter. The oysters were exquisite, and the tuna was, as always, exceptional. We followed with the sushi and sashimi combination, adding salmon, king salmon, and chutoro and Otoro. Heavenly doesn’t even begin to describe it. Every bite was beautifully balanced and absolutely delicious.

The cocktails are equally well crafted, and we ended the meal with sorbet—lemon for my friend and coconut for me. The perfect, refreshing finish to an outstanding meal.

Takumi continues to impress. An exceptional sushi experience from beginning to end!“

“first time ordering from there.. the food was excellent. ordering on line was easy the portions are large.. . the staff during pick up was so friendly and kind.. restaurant was very clean and in well order.. will definitely order again...“

“Although it’s named “to-go” there are actually 2 tables inside for dine in with 4 chairs each. I got the lunch special and they brought my food out and gave me iced water with it! The sushi was fresh and delicious. The man who brought my food out even turned the fan on and put it in my direction. They are all super friendly! Would definitely recommend for the food and service.“

“Stopped for sushi before a show at the Mann. Very nice people working there. The sashimi was excellent, especially clean flavored and with good texture. The ramen included tasty pork and a nice marinated egg. Would definitely visit again!“

“Great take out. Lots of choices.“

“I love the poke bowls at this place; they have different toppings that seem very healthy to me. The drinks are also very varied. I recommend it because I'm someone who enjoys eating delicious food, and the staff has always been very friendly to me.🥗🙌“

“The best! Our weekly go to!“

“The salmon is always incredibly fresh, and the prices are very reasonable. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. My coworkers and I come here often for lunch or dinner, and we’ve always had a great experience. Friendly service, delicious food, and a welcoming environment. Highly recommend!“

“My daughter said that she was looking to have sushi for lunch today, so we decided to give Herosame in Ardmore a try. Wow, this is one of the best sushi meals we've had in the Philly area and definitely on the Main Line. I called in our takeout order and the server who took our order was very friendly and polite as was the server who brought us our order while we waited in the vestibule. We ordered the Lunch Shrimp Teriyaki Bento Box and the Lunch Triple Roll Combo. Wow! I thought they had accidentally give us another person's order as the bags were quite heavy. Both lunch specials could easily be split over two meals or at least a meal and a leftovers snack. The Lunch Shrimp Teriyaki Bento Box included a small house salad, a pint of Miso Soup, 2 Shumai, a California Roll, 6 large Teriyaki Shrimp and a pint of steamed white rice. The salad was a crisp and refreshing spring mix with thinly shredded carrots and a halved grape tomato with a delicious dressing. The Miso soup was very rich and tasty. The Shumai were delicious with a nice crisp exterior, but soft, tender and enjoyable meat inside. The California Roll was huge and stuffed with super fresh crab stick and vegetables topped off with tobiko. The Teriyaki Shrimp were just a hair overcooked, but still delicious. The Three Roll Lunch Combo featured a choice of three rolls from a list of twenty different rolls so my daughter picked the Shrimp Avocado Roll, Tempura Roll and Philly Roll. All three rolls, just like my Bento Box's California Roll were huge with the Shrimp Tempura Rolls being gigantic. One piece of the tempura roll was at least twice the size of other sushi rolls I've had. Each roll was stuffed with the traditional meats and veggie fillings. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Herosame will definitely be on our family's list for future Japanese lunches and dinners!“

“I'm shocked I do not have a photo of the Salmon Bento that I have gotten at least 20 times already. I usually have it delivered via Uber Eats and it's so good that I dive right in when I get it! It comes with perfectly cooked salmon on a bed of sauteed broccoli and onions in a yummy teriyaki sauce. The sides are shrimp and veggie tempura, gyoza, California rolls, and white rice. You know when you find that one go-to restaurant that eases even the worst day at work? Sakura is that restaurant for me!

If you want the bento at a cheaper price - try the lunch specials; it's equally delicious!

I highly recommend this place and will continue to order hopefully for years to come!

Thank you Sakura owner and employees for bringing joy to my day!“

“I went for a dinner. I was impressed with authentic Japanese taste offered here. Portion size is very satisfying. Good sushi, ramen noodles were authentic. Pork slices on top were delicious. I ordered takeouts of guidon and curry. I'd come back there when I am in the area next time. It seems majority of people are ordering pickups. Many customers came to pick up their orders. The dining space is nicely prepared and the room ready for anyone to come and dine.“

“Food was high quality and expertly prepared. Overall a good value. Aside from two other patrons talking obnoxiously loud, the experience was great. Just a friendly reminder when you go to a restaurant, remember to use your inside voice. The other patrons don't need to hear about your career path or other life choices.“

“We were very impressed. Came hungry and left full. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“Kabuki offers great value for money. It is a very affordable japanese restaurant offering a variety of sushi, sashimi, rolls and hot dishes. We are coming regularly for their lunch specials.
Waiters are nice and helpful.
I would highly recommend to got to Kabuku for a quick lunch.“

“We love Kabuto. We come all the way from Boyertown to eat here. Great service and reasonably priced. We always leave full.“

“This place is a gem. Fast and friendly service, the best ginger dressing on a house salad I have ever tasted. The freshest fish you will find on the main line. The rice was served at the perfect temperature. The owners and staff are the nicest people you will ever meet. If I could only eat at one restaurant for the rest of my life, this would be the one.“

“Best meal I have had….maybe ever!“

“Fantastic sushi. Fresh and delicious. Great variety and friendly service.“

“Koi is an amazing place! It is some of the best sushi my husband has ever tried, and it comes complete with a special design by their sushi chef. This family owned restaurant has multiple member of their family, and it truly adds a personal touch. Joey was our server last night, and it was great to learn more about the restaurant - plus he made us laugh and just made our experience even better! Their outdoor dining is an awesome option - and the setting truly can’t be beat! We can’t wait to come back!“

“Great food. Best at Specialty rolls rather than classics tho. Chipped dishware is way too common though. that exposed ceramic can cause silica contamination and speed up damage to the dishes or cause mold growth. Can also be kinda loud. But good service and food.“

“Great service, red curry veggies with white rice and udon noodle soap with tempura was excellent!“

“We ate here last week.
Outstanding food and good value also. Large portions and FRESH !!!
Pleasant attentive service.
Pleasant music at a low volume.
The only thing they should consider changing?
Bigger napkins, they're gnome or Tinker bell size.
Thank you, excellent !!!“

“Tokyo's was delicious with beautiful presentation“

“Amazing food and the best staff“

“Many establishments in the area have declined in quality and atmosphere, but not Mizu Asian Bistro! We have never been disappointed. Thank you for maintaining your high standards!“

“I’ve been frequenting this place since early 2000’s and their consistency and simple elegance of their sushi is simply phenomenal. Even Hawaii doesn’t offer such delicious sushi without making you pay 100’s of dollars for even the mediocre. Cho Cho San is incredible, can’t give it anything less than a 10/10“

“New Leaf is a Manayunk staple for sushi and Asian cuisine. I’ve ordered delivery and dine-in, and it’s never disappointed.

I’ve never sat at the bar, but I wonder if it’s good. It looks like a decent spot, maybe next time I’ll check it out!

Pics are from a sushi delivery.“

“Best ramen I had ever had“

“Food was extremely good with really good prices. Portions were big and food tasted authentic, the seafood in particular was fresh when we got it and felt homemade in all the best ways possible. Cashier was also very helpful with helping us understand the menu and even let us place an order over the phone in advance! Definitely would recommend!“

“The service was top notch and the atmosphere was pleasant. I had the Manhattan Roll, it was a new one for me and it was great. My main entree was the General Tao's Chilean Sea Bass and that did not disappoint. We will definitely be going back and hopefully sooner.rather than later.“

“My wife and I have eaten at many sushi restaurants across the country and on several cruise ships and this is our favorite restaurant. The owners and sushi chefs are amazing and extremely talented. I would advise any sushi restaurant goer to at least give them a try and you will not be disappointed.“

“First impressions, trying to park was a bit confusing I still don't know if parking where I did is right. there is a small area around the restaurant that seems like it could be parking but no lines or guidance out front. Also this place is really small looking on the outside. As soon as I walked in it felt really awkward.i almost walked back out because everyone was just staring at me. Finally after what seemed like forever the sushi chef greeted me. When I was seated the waitress took my order and served me promptly. The miso soup was delicious. The edamame tasted fresh. The prices are a bit more than what I'm use to. I also had the sushi and sashimi lunch combo. The fish tasted very fresh and cleaned very well. Which explains the price. I would come back. Give it a try.

Parking: Unsure of the actual parking situation. Nothing is marked it was weird for me parking in front of the restaurant“

“Amazing sushi and service! Great for families with kids too!“

“First of all awesome people. Always incredibly helpful and gives great recommendations. The sushi is super fresh and high quality. My favorite is sushi on the beach. And that spicy mayo is the perfect blend because some places make it too spicy or too bland.“

“Solid neighborhood take-out spot. What I personally like about South Ocean in Flourtown is the variety of Asian cuisines: Chinese, Japanese, & Thai. You can order sweet and sour chicken, or sushi. My go-to dish is the green curry; either with chicken or with vegetables. Very nice staff, quick pick-up, and fairly priced. 👍🏻“

“Excellent food and excellent service“

“Reliably good Japanese offering in Ardmore. Very nice ambiance in which to enjoy attentive and gracious service. Cuisine is fresh, well prepared and tasty. A pretty extensive array of menu choices. Beer served cold with an iced glass. Nice! White wine a little less chilled than ideal.“

“Great place to eat. You sit down and get the papers to fill out of what you want. They are great with service and food is always amazing. Would recommend for a date or special occasion.“
