28 Best Japanese Restaurants near Basking Ridge

“This is by far our favorite sushi spot in all of New Jersey. Very unassuming restaurant in a strip mall area. The special sushi rolls are unbelievable. Take note of the board with specials, including the Cosplay Roll and the Luck Roll. The fish is always fresh and so tasty, the preparation lovely crafted with care. This restaurant can rival some of the most high end sushi restaurants in Manhattan. Also try the spicy Kani salad. Ample free parking and they do take out orders too, though we prefer to eat there in person. The place is BYOB and there is Ridge Wine store in the same strip mall, so very convenient to grab a bottle of sake before eating there.Kid-friendliness: We usually get the grilled seabass for the kids and they usually offer to split it for us.“

“I absolutely love this place!! The food is always great and they’re very attentive. Before leaving they always give you complimentary mochi. Hands down the best lunch menu and the sushi is always fresh and tasty. (Sorry for the bad pic and the food is delicious)“

“Consistency is key and Ju-Ichi has delivered several times at different times of the day. Visited both for lunch and dinner with friends and from the sushi rolls to udon and Ramen, excellent broth and tasty menu all around.Kid-friendliness: Have brought my 1 year old here and never found it to be rushed and there are plenty of high chairs for kids.“

“We visited while in the area and found both the food and service to be outstanding. The sushi was very fresh and there are some inventive rolls on the menu. They have several tea options, one of which is the Flower Tea, a beautifully fragrant mix of organic leaves of jasmine, rose, lavender, chamomile and marigold which my daughter and I found to be soothing and totally hit the spot on a chilly rainy night. The owner was accommodating and extremely friendly; she made sure to check on us several times during the meal. Highly recommend!“

“We ordered the omikase plate. The fish was EXCELLENT. Ultimately, a pricey little dinner for 8 pieces of sushi, but it was very very high quality sushi which has seemingly become harder and harder to find these days. Would definitely return.“

“We have been coming here since it opened. The food is always exceptional!!! The combination of flavors and texture is unlike any place we have eaten sushi at and we have been eating sushi for over 40 years.The staff is always friendly and cordial.We introduce our friends to Wasu all the time always with rave reviews from them. There just isn't another place like this we have found in the area. Keep up the great work John we greatly appreciate all you do.“

“i just want to say that the customer service for this place is amazing! we had a payment issue, and our communication back and forth was missed. and they went ABOVE and BEYOND to fix the issue. i am blown away. we love the food here it's always delicious! 10 out of 10 across the board. thank you mintea! :)“

“One of the best places to get good sushi. They have a great selection and good drinks too. I always enjoy myself here. Just be careful walking from the parking lot to the restaurant in the dark. It’s not well lit and there isn’t a side walk. Cars pulling in or out won’t be able to see you.“

“This hole in the wall Somerville sushi restaurant is top notch. While it isn't the cheapest, the price is fair and it's always very fresh. Please don't go so there will be a table open for my party. Just kidding, but seriously.“

“There are many sushi places in the area, but we always come back to Yokohama. Every time we go, we know we will get delicious sushi at a fraction of the price compared to the restaurants around but the quality is still just as good, if not better! We got a seat at the bar, where we watched the sushi chefs work their magic. Fun atmosphere and delicious food!“

“Best local sushi place around! The sushi is always fresh and the sides/appetizers are delicious as well. They have a little "mizu mart" in the front of the store with plenty of Japanese and Korean snacks, ramen, and candy. There isn't any space for indoor eating (it's really tiny) but takeout or outdoor dining is available. Service is quick and very kind.“

“Cute, quaint, great decor, clean and delicious. Everything from the Ramen and sushi to the Hibachi is delicious!! AND the juicy pork dumplings are SO good! As for the bubble tea and green tea cake, big thumbs up! The wait staff is friendly but the owner (or possibly manager) is even friendlier and just the kindest! She truly makes you feel welcomed! Highly recommend!!Kid-friendliness: When she’s there, the owner always takes the time to say hello and bring our kid a little sweet snack. It’s very sweet!“

“Since Covid this place has only become takeout, but it never disappoints. Food is always ready in a timely manner and the sushi is always fresh. I have not had a bad experience here, and the prices are very reasonable. My go-to Sushi spot every single time!“

“I first wanted to say how impressed I am with the food. Definitely some of the best Chinese food I’ve eaten in a long long time. I got the string bean triple and I enjoyed it very much. I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant as well. Everybody was so nice and attentive. The food was so good I had to get another dish which was the broccoli with brown sauce. It was prepared so well and tasted amazing. The owner Annie is very nice and welcoming. I already want to go back. 10/10!“

“I've been coming here to the mall food court inside Bridgewater Commons since 2008. Tori Sushi never disappoints me and the service is so fast. The quality is even better than you would expect from a mall food court. They even have Poké bowls which is nice for a little bit of variety.“

“This has been our go to sushi spot- dine in or take out- for years. The fish is super fresh, the service is wonderful and they’re very accommodating. I often change the tuna lover roll to a salmon lover roll, which I think should be on the menu permanently! The tuna don and salmon don is the best deal around- and their salmon is like butter.I’ve tried a few few of their Thai and Chinese dishes and they were fine, but if I want that food I’ll go someplace else.“

“We love this place, the food is excellent, the jockey, and the lobster roll are my favorites, but in general, all are excellent. Service is excellent. Unfortunately, they don't open Sundays, so you need to plan accordingly. Pricing is average. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Salmon Sashimi was extremely fresh and fatty melting in your mouth wow very good.The shrimp tempura was clean and flavorfulPad Thai was deliciousCalifornia roll was a bit generic but it makes up for it in taste the avocado was rip and fresh so yum.Black Angel Roll holy carp! Lol Soooo delicious try it you’ll thank me.Give this spot a try“

“We ordered from Blue Wazabi many times and always enjoy their delicious sushi, but have not had the pleasure of eating at the restaurant until tonight. We walked in on a busy Saturday evening and the place was packed! We did not have a reservation and were seated at the bar. The dishes were all amazing as usual, but the service was truly impressive. Even though we waited for a while for our food, Wendy was very attentive and had a complimentary appetizer prepared for us. It was a great evening and I would highly recommend!“

“Food: 7.5/10 I shared the sashimi, nigiri, and roll for two with my girlfriend. It's fresh and very worth the price. This is my go to place in the area for sushi. Service: 9/10 One of the managers/servers is the cutest little Asian woman. She kept checking on us if our food was good and she even gave us two sample plates of rolls the first time we came in. The second time she wasn't there, but our server was still very attentive. Ambience: 6/10 Nothing stands out completely about the place. It's like any other Asian casual dining place.“

“Overall a good hibachi experience. The restaurant offers a casual vibe and can be a bit loud. The service was great and attentive, including the hibachi performance it's. The food was good and the chef got everyone's order exactly as they wanted it. I gave the lychee mojito a try as that was a unique flavor I don't normally come by. It was pretty good, but the mango mojito was better, in my opinion. It's a little on the pricy side, but I would return to try some of the extensive menu offerings. :)“

“Great AYCE sushi! Service is quick and friendly -- just a warning though, if you order too much all at once, it might not all come (but they're trying to avoid food waste which I understand). The area it's in is very fun too so there's a lot to do before or after dinner.Parking: There's lots of spots but sometimes it can be busy“

“Really good Chinese food and Sushi! We ordered fried rice and noodles as well as a sushi platter and miso soup. All the food was so good and the atmosphere was so welcoming. I also enjoyed the jasmine tea and biscuits <33 really recommend!“

“I ate hibachi, sushi, and sashimi. It was of high quality, which is hard to find in the central region, and the owner couple was friendly and kind. I'm grateful that a restaurant like this exists in this neighborhood and I think I'll go there often.“

“Ever since they changed their location to outside the mall and changed the staff, it hasn’t been the same honestly. Nothing against the new staff, they try their best and They do welcome you in and do a great job at taking your order however exporting your order…. Eh. Takes them sometime and sometimes they forget certain side items. I miss being in the line and just picking up your order as it’s being made .“

“I had a great meal here for new year's eve! I had chicken pad Thai and a salmon avocado roll, which really hit the spot. This is a good sushi spot. My boyfriend got the sushi dinner. The staff here is always good. I saw a girl drop her chopsticks and a server immediately walked up with a new pair. I don't know why, but we can always get a table fairly easily. I will of course be returning:)“

“I love Fan Bistro!!!!???? Best food in town. They might as well know me because of how often I order from them. The hibachi meals- disgusting (that’s slang for amazing) in other words, gods must’ve crafted this. The atmosphere is postmodern, with comfortable color and large brass buddha. I hate sushi but the tuna sushi is ?!! Soy sauce? More like girl boss!! Love this place, man. Just adore this food, on god; fax ong. One time I ordered chicken hibachi; got steak teriyaki. But hey, enjoyed it all the same.Vegetarian options: -Rice-Vegetable hibachi-all kinds of fried rice“

“Monster Sushi is a delicious little sushi spot in downtown Morristown. As they are BYOB, you should definitely pick up your favorite beer or sake to pair with the bento box or round of fresh sushi. Their beef negimaki is ? and their specialty rolls are probably the best in town.“
