Japanese Restaurants near Lavallette

“We moved to Seaside Park from NY about 18 months ago and after eating at a few places I had effectively given up on eating sushi down here at all. Just being turned off by the local offering, for a while I passed over even trying Hoshino until last night.Let me just start by saying this is the best sushi in the area, and it's not even close!It's very authentic, with focus on quality of ingredients. People who complain about the portion size/price have no idea what authentic sushi is, and should stay in their lane. If you want big floppy pieces of lower grade sashimi, Xina is right over the bridge.While waiting for our meal, we overheard a gentleman at the table next to us say this is very good sushi, that it reminds him of NYC. He isn't wrong. I have extensive experience eating at sushi restaurants in the city and Japan, and this is as close as it gets.While I had sushi my girlfriend had the beef negimaki, and it was also very good. Bonus points for putting Toro on the menu and actually having it. Too many sushi restaurants say they have Toro but then never do.If we had one complaint, it would be the wait time. It seems they only had one server and so things moved a bit slowly. However, Bill, our server, was very nice and polite despite having to run around and serve several tables at once.Moving forward there is no doubt we will be eating here frequently.“

“I have consistently dine at BLUE SUSHI restaurant, and it IS ALWAYS an outstanding experience. The food was exquisite, with flavors that truly impress my taste buds. The service was top-notch, attentive, and friendly. The owners take great pride in serving the freshest fish. The atmosphere is beach beautiful with indoor and outdoor dining !!!I can't wait till my next visit !!!!“

Unbelievably great! Like mixing Italian with Chinese!Our waiter, Dave M. was also very friendly and knowledgeable!One of my favorite places to go!!“

“1st time there. The food was great. So was our cook, Simi, for hibachi. We had an issue with the grill, had to move to a different table, and we were given fresh rice because our first plate was cold by the time he started cooking again. I will definitely go back. Thank “

“This is my mom's favorite lunch spot. Always a stop after dr. appointments or shopping. Food is fresh and delicious. Servers are kind and friendly. Highly recommend. My son loves the sushi and vegetarian options.Vegetarian options: My son loves the vegetarian options.“

“This was our second time ordering from this place. The first time we picked up the order and the order was a little over $150. The second time we had delivery for a $300 order. We had guests in from out of town the second time. The first time, the food was amazing but the second time was even better than the first time. We ordered a little from each category on the menu. You would think for such a big menu there would be inconsistencies and you’ll be wrong. For delivery they came within the time frame stated when ordering the food. The delivery driver was friendly and helpful. The food was super fresh and still hot almost as if we were eating it in the restaurant. The portion sizes are generous and not just thrown in the container; good presentation of the food in the container. I do t think it’s possibility to have any disappointment in the food, we haven’t had a dish we didn’t like yet. The flavor and spices that are used are amazing where most competitors veer away. I highly recommend people who are interested in Asian fusion cuisines to try this place out - you won’t be disappointed. Great job Kumo, keep up the great work and tasty dishes.“

“Went here to eat yesterday with family. Although the outside was in need of work I give this place 5 stars. The food was good, the service was good and the cook was awesome. Not crowed at all and the inside was the just like any other Hibachi! We enjoyed ourselves !“

“We have been here many times and food has been great! I love the seafood lemongrass soup with or without the seafood. There is much variety to choose from.Service is attentive and friendly, Stephen is the best! Teresa is always buzzing about talking with customers and sometimes cooking!I love the white tablecloths - feels clean and freshThere is room for a large group and a sushi barVegetarian options: They will modify as needed“

“Great and affordable spot! We love eating here regularly. I own the hair salon, Alchemy Hair Studio in the same plaza, and we order at least three times a week! My favorites are the lunch hibachi specials and they're half priced sushi rolls.“

“We had such a great time celebrating my birthday. Everyone was very attentive and nice. They really went all out to make sure we had a great experience. The food was great too! Make sure you go hungry because they give you generous portions. Happy was our chef - he was amazing!“

“We love this place. They call us by name. They are artists and chefs of the best quality. They always take care of us and we would certainly defend the honor of this incredible institution. Seriously Nagoya is our go to and they always fill our bellies with delicious food.“

“Homemade hot mustard sauce and free freshly fried wonton strips (as opposed to machine made, stale ones, you know what I mean) with sauce sets this place apart from others.Superior egg drop and hot&sour soup. None can compete in area of point pleasant and brick.Fried/Steamed dumplings are not wrapped in the chewy thick dough that you commonly find in other Chinese restaurants. It's worth every bite.The crab rangoon is cream cheese wrapped in a pastry dough that is amazing.The boneless beef ribs are tender and yummy. The cold noodles with sesame sauce is amazingly addictive. The shrimp toast is by far their best appetizer. You will not find a more scrumptious piece of toast.When they say prawns, you will not get the tiny shrimps, these are huge. Worth every penny.By far the best Chinese restaurant in Point Pleasant and Brick. For those who complain about their coupons, they used to honor them when it was on their menu. I never had a problem.“
