8 Best Japanese Restaurants near Sussex

“Hibachi meals are amazing!😋 Good flavor w the chicken, vegetables & rice👌🏼 It’s nice to eat more of a normal meal for take out rather than fast food👍🏼 Staff-owner is nice, friendly, very clean & looks presentable inside“

“Fujiyama is my absolute favorite Japanese restaurant! They have, in my opinion, the best sushi rolls and salmon sashimi, along with attentive service and delicious cocktails.

My favorite sushi roll is the Angry Dragon, which perfectly combines the sweetness of fruit with the crispiness of tempura shrimp, topped with a tasty mango sauce. For appetizers, the Crab Rangoon and Gyoza are my go-tos. The Crab Rangoon has a rich, authentic cream cheese flavor, unlike the artificial taste I’ve experienced at some other places. The sauce served with the gyoza is a hit with both my husband and me; we even use it with our sushi!

I’ve visited several times, and the cocktails recommended by the servers have always been great. My favorite is the Lychee Martini. It features lychee, a popular fruit in China that’s juicy and bouncy, and the drink has a unique tropical fruit flavor.

I haven’t tried much of the hibachi menu, but I did enjoy the Hibachi Chicken during their Monday and Tuesday specials. I love how they season their sauces.

The service here is very thoughtful. They provide warm towels for you to clean your hands, and there’s a surprise song and dessert for birthdays (although I haven’t celebrated mine here yet, the dessert looks amazing!). On my last visit, I accidentally left my phone behind, and a server even ran out into the rain to return it to me, which is why I’m able to write this review from my phone.

Fujiyama is a restaurant with a long history, and they continue to excel in everything they do.“

“First time in today, and just wow. Super friendly. I felt bad because I'm a dinosaur and only had a 50 on me and it didn't help their change situation, but we figured it out. Anyway, the food was absolutely incredible. Tried the Drunken Noodle w/Beef. I chose how spicy I liked it, and they were spot on. Maybe one of the best Asian noodle dishes I've ever had. Veggies on point, the steak was no stranger either. It was perfectly cooked, not all rubbery and weird, and a decent portion with the veggies. The sauce was there but didn't take over the other flavors that should be there still., and big ol fatty noodles make the dish hard to put down and take a breath. It was that good in my opinion. I'm no pro but am in the industry. Keep it up, and nice Subaru btw“

“Great food, nice atmosphere and good service! Thanks!“

“Went here for our anniversary. Had a wonderful time and our chef was very entertaining and humorous. Staff was very attentive and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. The food was delicious, and the experience unforgettable. Prices were reasonable, and portions plentiful. Definitely coming back!“

“I said I’d never eat sushi until I tried it for the first time at Katsuya in Studio City. I fell in love with the crispy rice tuna tartare 😋🍱 Until I had it at Wasabi!!! Things will never be the same. No restaurant can make it better!!! The Cali Crunch roll is a close second. This is hands down THE ONLY place I will eat sushi. The staff is amazing and we love to celebrate special occasions here🫶🏼🎊“

“🍣 My daughter was craving some Asian food and found this place…. Absolutely amazing! 🍱 From the service to the taste of the food….. everything was delicious. 🍲 We will definitely be coming back 😋“

“I went here with two other people on a Wednesday evening. Everything we got tasted great! However, the wait between each dish was very long. I will probably come back, but I’ll make sure I don’t have to be anywhere after. I thought it would be quicker on a week day night.“
