9 Best Japanese Restaurants in Lawrenceville

“Very clean and simple layout featuring a sushi bar as you walk in and both indoor and outdoor seating.

We were greeted quickly and shown to a table immediately.

Our complete order ended up being: 2 waters, 1 cold green tea, 5 rolls, 1 Chef's Nigiri, and 2 Green Tea Ice Creams.

We were presented with miso soup to begin, along with kimchi, shredded daikon, marinated broccoli, and pickled onion.

Loved that they gave us soup spoons and chopsticks without the usual fork, knife, and spoon.

For the rolls we ordered Garlic Crunch Roll, Hide and Seek Roll, Mango Tango Roll, Volcano Roll, and Golden Tiger Roll.

Nigiri was fresh and their rice was good.

I don't know where/who they get the green tea ice cream from, but it was the perfect ending for the meal.

Have easily spent the same amount at flashier, popular sushi places and gotten lower quality, so this was a solid homerun in our book.“

“Very pleasant & good vibes“

“I went in and decided to use chopsticks for really the first time in my life (I’ve tried but would give up). Not only was the food great but I was met with empathy when I was given “chopstick helpers” to continue on my meal. I was struggling but they realized it and offered up a way to help others like me, so if you are worried about using the chopsticks know that they have a solution! It’s the little things sometimes and we love them for that! ?“

“The establishment is much larger on the inside than it appears from the street. It is absolutely beautiful inside. The beef tataki here is amazing. Easily the best I’ve had. The fish on the nigiri rice i ordered was heated due to the rice being so warm. That was off-putting as that is a dish traditionally served cold. Not pleasant. The shoyu chicken ramen was about what you’d expect for a $12 soup. My server made sure I had everything I needed and constantly checked on me. All in all it was a good experience. I’ll be back.“

“The food is amazing. I tried the Snow Mountain Roll tonight and wow!! Definitely give them a try if you haven’t already“

“Ordered my food at 10:20. Was told it would be 15-20 mins. Arrived at the restaurant 20 mins later and was told an additional 15 mins was needed. Waited almost 35 mins
to get my food. Although they were unable to complete my order(as well as others waiting) they continued to accept orders over the phone. I will admit my sushi was very good.“

“Great place! Dan the Sushi man makes great sushi for the price. Consistent and dependable. I come here with the family and have had the hibachi as well, it’s great also but our favorite is the sushi“

“We were the first ones there when they opened at 4:30. Great server. She was so nice. Food was excellent. We started with a crunch roll. I had vegetable hibachi. Veggies well seasoned and not cooked to death. Broccoli still had some crunch to it. Hubby had chicken hibachi. The chicken was very well seasoned. I wished the fried rice had egg in it but it was plain. Not a deal breaker. If I'm ever in the area, I would return.“

“I'm not from here, so I wanted some good lemon pepper wings wet. When I arrived I asked the man at the counter if the lemon pepper would be wet. He said yes, but when he showed them I really didn't see a lot of sauce. When I say the wings here are delicious, it's not an understatement. The strawberry cheesecake is good too, and I will be returning.“
