45 Best Japanese Restaurants near Blackwood

“I love this place. The food is delicious, the sweet potato tempura sushi is great. My mom had the orangec beef and it was perfect. There is never anything I order that hasnt been fresh. The wait staff is always attentive. We're from near DC and anytime we come into town we stop by.“

“The best sashimi and I have ever had. Stopped in here 3 years ago by chance -- looking for food before a concert at Gloria Dei Old Swedes Episcopal Church. I was able to get a few things, not a set menu. They did not put soy sauce or anything on the bar or tables -- they said they were preparing it just as it should be prepared. And it was so! Looking forward to coming back.“

“Pretty good experience! There was a little bit of a mix up with what we ordered but they instantly took care of it and got us the rest of our food. Some of the food was hit or miss. The broll, Bloc party, Hijiki, and e I shumai was great but I didn't really like the chashu because it was a bit gummy and the wings were not my favorite. But other than that, it was all great. I will definitely come back soon to try more things :)“

“Served by Didi - absolutely devoured the steak fried rice, philly roll and spicy salmon roll. Been coming here for a long time and will continue to do so. Ask to buy the yum yum sauce - it’s made in house and can be bought in larger portions.“

“This is my 2nd time getting take out since they opened. Everything we have had has been delicious and the service is on point. I’ve ordered sashimi, special rolls, chicken lomein, soup, all perfection. The sashimi is fresh and prepared and plated well. My favorite appetizer so far is the Hamachi Kiss. So refreshing and flavorful. So glad to finally have a decent sushi restaurant that also has a menu full of many Japanese and Chinese choices as well. Can’t wait for my next visit.“

“Came here for dinner during Wrestlemania 40 weekend. Excellent service and the sushi was amazing! Especially the fried sushi with smoked salmon. Also got the shrimp tempura and sweet potato rolls. Wish had more room to finish it all. Pretty small place, so was lucky enough that it wasn't so busy. Highly recommend!“

“My friends and I walked into the Hibachi and Wings restaurant, we approached right away. The food was great and the people were very nice. I would highly recommended to others. The set up was very nice and organized, along with enough space for others to eat.“

“I just tried Osaka today after passing by it several times. Very glad that I decided to stop in!Absolutely delicious and out of this world Calamari and Soft Shell Crab Tempura appetizers!!The star of the show was the Godzilla cooked Sushi rolls with spicy crab, avocado, cream cheese, made Tempura style with chef sauce! Melt in your mouth delicious!Everything single thing here was hot and fresh! Totally recommended if you're in the Route 73 Berlin, NJ area!Service was very friendly! Outstanding Japanese restaurant with a nice casual relaxing ambiance! I use the Public Storage down the road, so I'll be stopping here FIRST, if I'm hungry and want Sushi! Yum!“

“Found this place by accident when another restaurant nearby was closed and we were very hungry. I was surprised at how good the food was because the prices were very reasonable. This is definitely not just any other Japanese restaurant. The appetizers we had were so delicious, and my sushi rolls were better than the ones I have at other places nearby. The service was great and they were very attentive. On top of that, it was very cute inside and the atmosphere was perfect. I can’t wait to return!“

“This is a good place to eat sushi and ramen. Personally, I ordered the miso soup ramen and I loved it: both the decoration of the dish, as well as the quantity and flavor, were in harmony; For starters we ordered gyozas, which were delicious. My companion ordered a shrimp tempura roll which, on the other hand, although it had a delicious flavor, the quantity was small in relation to the price. The atmosphere is cozy. The staff treated us very kindly, which made us enjoy the experience even more.“

“Best sushi around jersey not gonna lie. They are so nice and always inviting! Their food tastes so fresh and I’m always impressed, they never forget things and are EXTREMELY FAST with their orders. I even order custom rolls from them which in itself is incredible because I’m terrified of ordering things from most places like that. My favorite item is the shrimp tempura roll but I put cream cheese on it too. Also they never under sauce!!!“

“Fantastic sushi, great prices, quick delivery. The order is always correct, packed well, and the food is delicious. And if you're in the mood for a seafood boil, this is the place to go! Get the garlic butter sauce - spicy! Soooooo good.“

“Only ate here twice and it was exceptional for the price. Honestly I thought the good reviews had to be fake bc there were so many and so highly rated. But it’s legit. It appears to be closed though permanently since it’s been down for over a month now.Hopefully the owners see this and will tell me they’re re-opening soon??“

“Amazing is the only way to describe it!! Hands down best Japanese restaurant I’ve been to! We ordered edamame, Beef Negi Maki , 6 sushi rolls, chicken fried rice and the butterfly shrimp, everything tasted so fresh and perfectly seasoned it was a holiday for my tastebuds. The service was incredible; my family and I cannot wait to go back!“

“First time ordering from this place, and they serve high quality sushi and food at affordable prices! I've had the salmon rolls as of today, and they are healthy and delicious! The tempura vegetables were quite delectable, and the miso soup was excellent! Friendly service and excellent food!“

“One of my favorite places around! You can eat here at all price points. My favs are Clear Soup for cold days, and then for dinner portions: tataki, poke bowls, and sushi rolls are all fantastic to mix and match. Poke bowls are the best bang for buck. GO HERE IF YOU LIVE CLOSE!“

“Very friendly service and a fantastic atmosphere and decor. All the food was good, but some were better than others (the spicy miso ramen stood out as great, while I wasn't as big of a fan of the seafood ramen, but the others in my group enjoyed it so maybe I'm an outlier). Definitely recommend going here.“

“This place has become a home of mine of Friday nights. Kevin is an excellent, skilled sushi chef and keeps positive relationships with his customers. His staff, the elder and waitresses are always professional and courteous. They work incredibly hard to make the entire experience a memorable one. I hope they recover from this recent property loss and temporary closure.“

“Some of the best orange chicken I’ve had in a long while, it’s on the sweeter side but was not mostly breading like most places. Got the Dan Dan and added veggies and egg and was delicious. Portions were good for the prices! Kids devoured their noodles. The staff were all friendly and attentive. Food came out fairly quick and was hot and fresh. Will be coming back in the future.Kid-friendliness: Provided disposable cups and plates for the toddler. Had high chairs.“

“This was our first visit here and the food was above and beyond what I expected. My wife and I were both pleasantly surprised by everything we had. The Miso Soup was very flavorful - the crab Rangoons were delightful. My Samoan Roll was incredible, and my wife's Sweet Potato Roll was delicious.“

“The staff was so welcoming and we laughed harder than we ever have at hibachi and we have been going to hibachi for years. The chef had so many new tricks and jokes we never heard before that it was so incredibly entertaining!! Best part was that the food was out of this world, so flavorful and the portions were perfect! This is our new favorite spot for hibachi and family dining.“

“I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant and the lovely people that run it. We have been ordering from Sakura since before Covid and have always enjoyed the food and the friendly people that work there. The rolls are fresh and there's a nice variety. Sorry, no pictures but we ate it all too fast ?Parking: The lot always has spaces and the pick up is so convenient due to the drive through window as it was an old Taco Bell.Kid-friendliness: My kids are always greeted and made to feel welcome. They have been given extra treats by the staff and absolutely love going to Sakura to "see our friends."“

“We went here for sushi for my son's B-Day ( his favorite food). We loved it! The family running the place was awesome. Young lady that was our sever was on point. Fried Banana owner made my son for his day was great! Thanks so much. We go out to eat for sushi all over & when we travel. Quality & choices were solid. Good luck to you & will be back!!“

“Took my 5-year-old daughter for her first hibachi lunch. The chef made her feel very special. She really enjoyed the show, especially the volcano. I had the filet mignon and chicken and was barely able to eat everything. My daughter enjoyed the steak, and my wife had scallops and said that they were really well prepared.The service was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean too.All in all a fun afternoon.“

“I have never been here in person, but I order takeout frequently and the food is always very fresh and delicious.I love their spicy salmon roll, and their spicy crab and spicy tuna are also yummy. The veggie roll is also a favorite of mine. The sashimi is very good and fresh. I prefer salmon because it is healthy. I like to get salmon sashimi, cooked tofu sashimi, and eat it with the lettuce and carrot it's bedded on for flavor and texture. The edamame is so good and fresh.“

“This is by far the most authentic sushi experience in South Jersey.From the moment you walk in, this place makes you feel like you’re in a restaurant in downtown Tokyo. From the short ceiling height, to the wooden tables and woodwork on the walls, the vibe and feeling is wonderful, warming and welcoming.The service is very quick and orderly. They have a method and they pay close attention to detail. Your water is constantly filled and dirty dishes are taken quickly. I wish it sometimes didn’t feel rushed but I feel that may just be a cultural nuance.The food takes the cake at this spot! This place is not for the uncultured that enjoy mayo drizzled all over every piece of sushi (not sushi kingdom garbage sorry). The food is authentic maki, nigiri, and sashimi.You might want to bring your phone to look up the meaning of many of the dishes, because it’s not incredibly detailed. But nonetheless I would say this is the BEST sushi restaurant in South Jersey.Dish Recommendation: Tuna Donburi.***All five stars is perfection. No place is perfect but this place gets close in many regards.“

“Went here last night for dinner with my wife. I don’t remember what my wife got besides the rock shrimp appetizer but I did help her finish her food and all of it was delicious, including the rock shrimp. I am a big eel fan so I got the unagi don as well as the dancing dragon. They were both a big serving, which was excellent. As for service, they were very nice and refills came quickly. I also got a lemon sorbet dessert, I forgot the name of it but it was delicious. If you are looking for a quiet eating location with great sushi this is the place to go. They also have hibachi“

“Stopped by this restaurant while in the area and was not disappointed. We were sat right away, and it was very cute and dimly lit inside. Service could have been a bit better. But everything else was great. I got the salmon hibachi which was super flavorful. This place might also have the best miso soup and salad that I've had from hibachi spots thus far.“

“Very comfortable place to be. Started out with edamame and then had the beef ramen. The biggest adjective I could use for this meal was fresh and definitely flavorful. There were so many dimensions to the flavor. Normally at certain Ramen places I only taste salt. Here with the Ramen every ingredient stood out. Definitely will come back. I recommend not only their Ramen but try their dumplings too. Obviously their edamame was awesome as well.“

“What an incredible culinary adventure! We gathered to celebrate the life of a cherished family friend, and the food exceeded all expectations. Even now, days later, I find myself longing for the delicious offerings from their buffet menu. This experience taught me the value of not skimping on all-you-can-eat services. Sophie and Sol, you truly shine as pillars of our community. Great job!“

“Everything is so good! Fresh Sushi! New Batches of sushi rice everyday, love the people who work there. Friendly environment! Very Generous! Amazing Service! The only sushi spot, I enjoy eating at. Please come out and check it out yourself! Will not disappoint. Deserve a 5.0 star! ⭐️“

“Third time for me and that consists of dining in, take out and pickup! So far everything is great. The service is great and so far my menu choices not a bad thing including the adult beverages made. Keep up the great work! And I got myself a lychee martini“

“100/10 was surprised to see there wasn't much of a like compared to other spots. We almost went to chipotle or Panda Express until we saw this spot. Smelled so good & it was too!! The staff was friendly & we got such a bang for our buck! 2 people even came up to us to ask where we had got our food! Loved the variety the bento box so much, would definitely recommend to eat here.“

“Mt Fuji is my favorite place for sushi and hibachi. The food is excellent, the staff is fabulous and dedicated to their customers. The restaurant and kitchen are kept very clean. If you haven't visited Mt Fuji, you are missing out on a great establishment.“

“First time here and it was very clean inside. I ordered a volcano roll and sushi burrito to go and I did not wait too long. Once I got home I devoured the roll and half the sushi burrito. VERY FRESH. I highly recommend if you want fresh sushi and the burrito roll was phenomenal ?????“

“We have been coming here for about a year. Tried it once and never go anywhere else if we can help it. The rolls are fantastic - tasty and fresh every time. so really that's all we get because its so good. Customer service is good and theres 2 front tables for two by the window and a table for 4.Come for the sushi, and come again and again for the sushi...“

“I am pleasantly surprised by how delicious the foods are. Ordered sushi combo and two signature rolls. They are very fresh and flavorful. The restaurant is not too noisy and the environment is clean and welcoming. Loved our waitress Tina. I would definitely recommend and come back!“

“Love the Mei Fun - must try if you haven't! I always add some soy sauce and some it up, but that's a personal preference. Reheats well the next day.Vegetarian options: AvailableKid-friendliness: Daughter loves the lo meinParking: Front“

“Annual work related Christmas party celebrated here. Food was good, only two cooks circulated amongst all the tables. This slowed dining time for many. Once they got started, we enjoyed their entertainment while prepping our dinners! Overall we all had an enjoyable time.Kid-friendliness: Great for kids to have an "experience " while dining.“

“We were very disappointed in the food. The California roll was too fishy and it had to be thown away. the chicken and broccoli was greasy for some reason (called and was told possibly it was the oil they used and offered to send another but person didn't want) the last combination platter was sweet & sour chicken and the most that can be said is at least it was edible. First time order and for the poor food & amount of money spent we definitely will not return, Hopefully we just hit an off night.“

“We came here because we were visiting Rowan University and it’s close to the school. We were wanting Asian food, so we selected this place. The reviews looked good, and the menu had a lot of offerings that could satisfy anyone. When we came, the place was empty, which did not seem like a good sign, but we were proven wrong. They brought out some fried noodles with sauce, which was a nice touch. I got the chicken with broccoli lunch special which comes with a small soup. The value of the lunch special was fantastic, also. Under $10 for an amazing meal. I chose the wonton soup for my soup, and it was amazing! The wontons had a little less meat than I was hoping for, but the flavor was still great. The chicken with broccoli meal was delicious, with a thick brown sauce. The pork fried rice that came with it was very flavorful. The service was amazing, and the food was hot and fresh tasting. We really enjoyed it here, and would definitely come again.“

“Some of the reviews had me worried ... but I was needing a late lunch and sushi seemed perfect and I would be driving by the Mandarin Court. So, I pulled into the plaza and have to admit that the outside appearance made me hesitant to head in but I was already there. Just goes to show you that you can't trust outward appearances nor reviews that make one turn around from a possible wonderful experience. From the moment I walked in I was treated to outstanding and caring service! The young woman at the door welcomed me and assured me that I was not too late for the lunch specials. The gentleman waiting on me had to get up from his lunch (It was past 230 in the afternoon.) but did so with a simple smile. And as I looked around I was impressed by the elegance of the dining room and started to think about what my plans are for Chinese New Year because this certainly is an attractive dining room to bring friends to. Although the welcome was a good indicator, I knew this was going to be a very special lunch when the waiter delivered to my table both a hot pot of perfectly brewed tea and a glass of nicely chilled water. One I had made my selections a basket of "fried 'Chinese' noodles" arrived with a duck sauce and a mustard sauce. I have not had really good fried noodles in so long that I immediately began the process of devouring them. The sauces were ok on the better than average side of the scale but still ok. The lunch special gave me two rolls plus either soup or salads. I chose the miso soup and was rewarded with a bowl full of ingredients in the midst of a tasty broth. My only complaint is that the soup was luke warm and not hot but like the noodles, I finished off every single drop of soup!! The fish in each roll had that "clean fresh" taste that you absolutely expect in sushi. The bonus was the fact that this sushi chef provided me with an ample supply of pickled ginger and enough wasabi to suit my palate! In the middle of the meal the hostess stopped by to check in on me, which was a very nice touch. Other than my soup being warm ... can't think of any other criticism of what became a lovely unplanned late lunch plus since it was lunch time the meal came at a bargain price with the tea and noodles tossed in. As for my fortune cookie, which read "You should have chosen the shrimp" ... well perhaps next time I will because I am not curious about the Chinese side of the menu of this plaza-based Asian restaurant. Oh, yes ... get a more attractive window covering so that those heading towards the restaurant hurry in anticipation.“

“This place is a hidden gem for sushi, Japanese, Chinese, and Asian cuisine just blocks from Snyder Plaza. Their food has been consistent in quality, freshness, and presentation since I first found them in 2006, and rediscovered them in 2020. They have an interesting variety of specialty sushi rolls, and the standard rolls, and all are beautifully crafted, fresh and delicious. My most recent sushi order was the Snow White, Kiss of Fire and Philly rolls, and a complimentary salmon avocado roll! My bf enjoyed the beef with garlic sauce. I highly recommend giving them a try if you haven't already! I sound like an infomercial, but I swear, I'm just a customer who appreciates integrity lol. I rarely take food pics, but this just looked so gorgeous, I had to share!“

“Hewa is the restaurant where my love for sushi started. It is a great value with a wide variety and is a staple dinner option at my house. However after eating sushi from several other restaurants I have to unfortunately say, it is not the best. Don't get me wrong it's still really good and sometimes I just need a good heeling of Hewa, but it's the variety that allows Hewav to excel not necessarily the quality. That being said they are the best of the middle, only being beat by higher end swanky sushi places. Everyone should go here for the every day sushi or Chinese, it is just a solid meal everytime.“

“Small and cozy restaurant just off South on 3rd that has excellent, very fresh seafood, Japanese style. Cooked and raw available. Service is outstanding, so very friendly. Daily specials are creative, delicious. And they deliver! A favorite place for us, a routine visit. They never disappoint!“
