22 Best Japanese Restaurants near West Windsor

“Mizu is 100% our go-to sushi takeout in west windsor. Not only is it the freshest, tastiest, most diverse accommodating and reliable sushi I've ever been so lucky as to have around the corner BUT I'd put my money on Mizu against sushi bars in NYC and Philly. We value Lin and Ken and the great food they supply for our special occasions.“

“My group of five had a wonderful dining experience at Naoki. The food and the service are smooth and unobtrusive. All the dishes are explained. One of our part was jarred by the spotify music, which ran on a loop from Bach, J.S. to Sorrento. She felt that there should have been Japanese music. Nevertheless, all felt it was a great dinner.“

“The best thing to happen to the town of Princeton. It's got everything from peng bento boxes to immaculate snacks. They've even got hair products. Brilliant Japanese supermarket that also does a brilliant job with Asian products in general. Maruichi gets the seal of approval from a rather opinionated Japanese. That is a flaw of mine but it also means that my compliment of Maruichi holds substantial weight. Will miss this place when I graduate.“

“I got the tofu and dumplings, huge portions. Awesome flavor. I got at like three different flavors in my dish. All unique really enjoyed the food here would highly recommend if you want a good spot around the Princeton area.Vegetarian options: They had some good vegetarian dishes. Like tofu or dumplings“

“I am really bouncing between three and four stars here, so I'll give it four stars for the sushi and three stars for all of the other entrees and service. I dined here with my family on a weekend night recently and there wasn't any wait, but they were moderately full for a Saturday. Immediately it was impossible to figure out who was waiting on us, who was taking orders and who was doing what. We finally got our drink orders taken and were able to place our food orders. As someone with food allergies, it was a crap shoot because they had no concept of food allergies and certainly not of cross contamination. The edamame we ordered as an appetizer came after our main courses had already come out (and even then, only after we asked about it). The food was slow to come and it didn't seem to correspond to the amount of customers in the restaurant nor to a high volume of take out orders. They also were unable to come by to fill up water or tea and it was difficult to get their attention. There were three people working the front of house and there was a buzz of chaos the entire time that was not correlated to the volume of customers. The sushi was enjoyed and our sushi "connoisseurs" enjoyed the sushi a lot. I had the lobster miso which consisted of highly rubberized fake lobster meat that had been overcooked in the miso broth with probably almost half of a white onion which destroyed the broth. The "lobster meat" was undistinguishable as lobster meat as it was cut in tiny pieces. The salmon teriyaki was over-sauced and on almost an entire grilled onion. They sure do love their onions here. So a mixed bag. I might come back for the sushi. But only if I was really hungry and needed more onion in my life.“

“Not an average chinese restaurant for take out. We ordered delivery from here couple times based on the rating. One evening after the movie, we were around the area and decided to try dine in. Clean, modern, and cozy vibe. Love little details like imprint napkins, bowls, spoon… Food is consistently good and fair pricing. If you are around to have lunch, there’s Ross, Aldi, Staples in same strip.Would highly recommend to anyone lives nearby.“

“I called last minute due to a reservation at a different restaurant falling through, they were able to seat our party of 15 right away ! Amazing service! All the servers were so kind and attentive and they even stayed open later for us so we could have cake and sing happy birthday!! Not to mention the food was FANTASTIC!!! Could not say more great things about this restaurant!“

“Having been a happy customer for over 20 yrs, I was shocked when I stopped by at Xmas time to get a tray for a party, only to find them closed for remodeling? Bad timing!! I came back today, Jan 31, to find them open again with a beautiful new eating area, lounging areas, and a fresh-smelling mens room?!! And...the same fresh and delicious sushi--at the same prices with just a little more added into each order. I will be coming back more often now, and maybe to pick up for home sharing, too. Four star food at 3 star prices. Free indoor parking, right off US1 in Forrestal Village. What more can you want!! Too good not to eat it all.“

“I went with two friends and we got all you can eat. The food was pretty good. I appreciate the fact that they brought food out consistently over time rather than all at once. Not every AYCE sushi place can get that right. The presentation of the food was also fantastic. Finally, I did not feel rushed at all. We sat for a little over two hours and this would be a no-go at some other locations but not this one. Granted, it was lunch but there was a fair number of customers (no wait times). Overall great experience, and love that it’s right by Princeton and off Route 1.“

“Been here twice with my friends. Love the food, sushi burrito always hits (I recommend the Sunshine burrito). The steamed pork buns are bigger than expected, so soft and tasty! The ramen is great too, pretty large portion size. My friend loves the taro boba tea and it’s a good price even when you have to add the boba.“

“Amazing service with quick-moving artists who create masterpieces. The place feels like home and the waiter is so kind and attentive. It's the freshest sushi we've had in a 30-mile radius and even if you order on DoorDash or any other outlets, please be kind and give them time. They are amazing.Parking: The parking is behind the building.“

“Went to get some sushi on a Saturday night and it was very empty inside. The service was good and the sushi came out quick. We got three basic rolls and enjoyed our meal. The total came out to 20 bucks (without tip). Would definitely go back for some sushi and would like to try their special rolls in the future!“

“Easily some of the best ramen I've had. Ive had Thai Curry before, I've had ramen... The combination of those 2 were simply amazing! There was not a piece of food left on my plate it was so good! And the Mango green tea was very refreshing. I will definitely be stopping here again to try more dishes!“

“This tiny place doesn't look like much but they make excellent food. Their sushi is always fresh and delicious. Service is friendly and fast and prices are fair. Not to mention their menu which is absolutely massive so you can always find something new to try.“

“Chirashi (~$27) had high quality pieces cut thickly. Tasted fresh. Would definitely go again for the quality of the sashimi.I would not go if the waiter's attitude means a lot. They're not rude. Just weren't particularly welcoming in demeanor and didn't bother to remember who ordered what.I would not go for particularly good Korean food ( the bibimbap which had a bit too much spring mix and kimchi fried rice), but definitely leaning on the more authentic side. Still a good option.“

“I really like Ya Ya noodles! When you sit down, they give you delicious chips with orange sauce and hot tea. I like the fried dumplings as an appetizer. If you're looking for a very healthy dish, the steamed chicken and vegetables is amazing! It's as tasty as a healthy dish can be. I usually order the sesame chicken. The meat quality here is what impresses me the most. It's all white meat chicken and there's never any funny pieces (I'm a picky eater). The only thing that's missing here is a dessert menu.“

“Food is very good, the salmon and eel both taste fresh. Lunch specials here look like a very good deal, get a lot for your money's worth, but even if you come outside of lunch time, the prices are reasonable (especially compared to other places nearby). It does take quite a bit of time to get your food, though- they work pretty slowly. Would highly recommend calling/ordering ahead of time. Meh service, sorta brusque/unfriendly and they don't seem to like answering questions, but this is very much more of a takeout place anyway. Small area with a few counter seats where you can eat inside if you want.“

“Saw this place while walking around Princeton. I was split between this place and Lan Ramen. Lan Ramen was packed. Purinsu had seating. Also, I chose this place because they let us in with my dog and they offered Chicken Katsu, which my daughter loves.The food was good. The broth of the ramen was flavorful. Also, the bamboo shoots that came with the dishes didn't have that weird, Chinese takeout smell. The fishballs that came with the ramen were very tasty.There was ample seating. The staff was very friendly. Also, the bathrooms were very clean.Worth coming back to if I am in the area again.“

“Went there for lunch with a sushi-loving friend for all you can eat. The place is in the corner of the strip, so not exactly visible. However, very spacious inside, no weird lingering stale smells that are typical of a corner restaurant IMHO. The service was quick probably because we were the only ones on a friday lunch time. Makes me wonder though since usually friday lunch times are what folks at work go out to lunch for. Anyway, the quality of the food was decent, rolls and sushi were proper sized, seemed fresh. The wasabi was neither flat nor radioactive green. Was a fine paste so not just wasabi root for sure but had a nice kick.Has other entrees and items that we largely ignored since we were not there for thoseI think I will go back again.Vegetarian options: There are rolls like sweet potato roll,ango avocado, cucumber and such. There were some Tofu items too.“

“We have been here many times before. We had a reservation and sat right down. We ordered dinner and waited a while for a cook. They are definitely overly busy for the amount of staff they have . The cook we had was ok but not much fun compared to the other times we have been there. I think he was in a rush, which stunk because it's not cheap, and our 7 year old was excited for the show. Our food was only ok, not as "seasoned" as usual. It was kind of bland. When you go to hibachi, you want that garlic, butter, soy sauce flavor ! During dinner, our waiter didn't come back to check on drinks. We had to call over another gentleman. They did offer free Edamame while we waited and did apologize (and honestly, that wasn't really the issue bc we were chatting and enjoying our family time, but if you go on a Friday night with little ones a 45 min wait for a cook can be long. I do hope they get back to how they used to be and that this was just a bad night. We all have them . We will go back and hope this was just one of them nights.“

“I love this sushi place, I have always gone here and was never disappointed with the food. I havent tried their other food they have but their sushi is so good and delicious! I love the pink lady roll and the mango one, and the atmosphere is cozy almost!only one con - the staff could cheer up once in awhile, smile to people, show they are at least trying to enjoy their job. I went the other day and they were very snoody and seemed miserable - poor professional manner... and not the only time when I have been there, can make the customer discouraged.“

“If you looking for Sushi, Mori Sushi is the place. Everything is great. Specially you should try their all you can eat. It is BYOB so if you planning dinner with family or date make sure you grab that wine. Pretty clean, tidy and great service as well. Unlike other restaurants no reservations needed.“
