12 Best Japanese Restaurants near North Branford

“Wow. This place is amazing ever since the new ownership. Food is delicious, drinks are top shelf, love what they’re doing with the bar. The owner and his staff are super friendly and really up the dining experience!!!!!! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone!! Will be eating/drinking here on the regular.“

“This is one of the best omikase places in New Haven. The management is thoughtful and truly cares about its customers. I can't rave enough about what a gem Rockfish is. Every person who works here is kind and caring. They really will take their time to answer any questions. The fish is fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The packaging is clean and informative, great for Omikase newbies like myself and seasoned Omikase friends!“

“This is a cute little place with great sushi and great service. They were very welcoming and fun and the sushi, especially the tuna scallion roll, was very good.Dietary restrictions: There are gluten free itemsParking: I found a spot but it appeared to be the last one.Kid-friendliness: It’s a good place for well behaved children.“

“I chose Soga because they had Toro on their menu. It was only available in a roll. That roll, while still delicious, did not satisfy my craving for toro or really deliver the same experience. They lost one star for the tempura. I prefer mine thinner sliced with a lighter coating. This was thick and heavily battered. Overall, the sashimi collection was decent and fresh.Will go again“

“Nobody does it better than Mr. J’s. The best Asian fusion in town. From sushi to curry and everything in between, the entire menu is spirited and delicious. Sushi is exceptional considering most rolls are under $8. The ambiance is nice and the service is extraordinary- you will never be waiting on drink refills! The easiest five stars you’ll see.“

“We ordered takeout for the 1st time. Delicious all around! Very impressed. Can’t wait to visit and eat in the restaurant soon!“

“The food speaks here - especially the Ramens. This is the one Ramen spot I actually travel to eat at. Then the sushi and hand rolls back it up. The cold soba noodles, scallop carpaccio, sake selection. Great place to come solo and get some work done too. The Karrage could have slightly smaller chunks :)“

“If I could give more than 5-stars I would! Not just for the food, but the best service ever and the reason we will be going back there is all because of Kimmy, she does everything by herself there and was outstanding and just a very special person. We will ABSOLUTELY be back and this is now our go-to date night spot without a doubt!“

“I have never had an issue with Tokyo II. Even though I have never eaten inside the restaurant, I can't recommend this place enough. I usually get a dinner bento box, and they have had no problem substituting out the food with pork in it for other options. I love their miso soup and teriyaki salmon as well. The food is always prepared quickly, packaged securely, pretty warm even after being delivered to my home or driven back as takeout. Definitely give them a shot if you enjoy Japanese cuisine and sushi!“

“We went Easter night Chow was our server and Tom was the chef it was phenomenal. There was not one thing I could say negative. Tom was one of the best chefs we have head. Entertaining would be putting it mildly. Thank you all for the ???night.“

“The food is very good, which is why I go back. But we ordered all you can eat one night and it seemed a few people weren't getting the correct orders. It also took an hour to get a couple sushi rolls while the dinners ordered off the regular menu came quickly. It kind of squashes the "all you can eat" deal if you have to wait an hour for what you ordered. I recommend ordering take out or from the regular menu!Parking: It's in a plaza with a lot of safe parking“

“Great place to eat Asian cuisine. ?I'm updating this review. Back in 2018-2019 the food were great.Lately, 2024, the food quality has gone down so low. I ordered shrimp fried rice which was lacking in taste, ingredients and the lack of care in its preparation is evident. Same goes for subsequent orders of 4 other dishes on 2 other occasions.So disappointing ?“
