Japanese Restaurants near Newtown

“Been coming here for years and it has always been amazing. When the owner Marina knows you by first name when you walk in l, that says something. Can’t go wrong with anything you get here.You HAVE TO get basil sandwich either tuna or salmon.“

“First, we have always loved Oishi, it was our go to restaurant for just a lunch or a special dinner. However, a couple of recommendations. Seems to have slipped a little, first by the entrance that is filled with boxes and take out supplies. Sitting at the sushi bar is no longer available. I can understand during Covid, however, it would be nice to return this. There used to be specials, but not any longer. The menu has not changed in years. Occasionally, perhaps something new could be added. It seems that they are using a "rice" machine instead of hand molding the sushi rolls? Makes a difference.“

“So this little place I had ordered take out from a few times and loved it, so I stopped to fine in on my way home and I had the best experience! First my order was fast and the hospitality is second to none, I had to compliment their wonderful establishment and their amazing food and he brought me out a complimentary ice cream which was such a wonderful gesture of how they want to make their customers feel, we need more places just like this one, definitely a go to spot! And take a look at the presentation, food beauty at its best!!!“

“The staff is lovely, the food is great and it’s a nice little spot! Clean and friendly, their sushi is fresh and delicious. The ramen is also very good as well as all the appetizers I have had. This is my go to sushi spot, as the owners/staff are courteous, professional and make you feel like family. I would highly recommend!“

“This place deserves way more hype and attention. In my opinion they have the best food in town, also by far the freshest. I usually get the chicken hibachi meal. The chicken is always perfectly cooked, the veggies are so fresh, and the rice is just amazing. It comes with a salad and soup which are both outstanding. I've gotten sushi a few times too and they just impress me every single time. A true hidden gem. Every sauce I believe is homemade- and they do it perfectly. Honestly, I cannot recommend them enough. Also they gave us a crab salad sample last night...I don't usually like crab but WOW that was good! Thank you so much! I will come here forever.“

“Authentic, delicious, affordable! Fresh, hand-battered shrimp tempura is a rarity these days. The batter is light, crispy, and savory. The house blend tempura sauce is sharp, savory, and enhances the flavor of the tempura. Most other places just fry up frozen tempura or frozen panko breaded shrimp. It's alright, but it can't compete with the authentically made version.Musashi is the real deal. I've been to many Japanese restaurants that are just Chinese restaurants larping as something else. I'm glad Musashi is so close by. Gone are the days of having to drive two hours or cross state borders to find a good Japanese restaurant with Japanese owners. I'm excited to try everything else on the menu!“

“Loved this place been here a couple of times and the food and service is the best you could get. Refills water periodically, takes trash off table for you, packs your food to go if you don’t finish it. The boba is good here the balls are really soft and chewy. Must get the karaage chicken def a good portion size. The decorations here is so cute too love the vibe this place gives.“

“We had a wonderful early dinner today and the food was excellent! The service was very friendly and we especially enjoyed a nice quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Bruce visited us and he pays close attention to every detail. We will be back soon.“

“Came here several times and we always have an amazing experience! The food is great quality and so delicious!! Every singe item we tried was yummy so just order whatever sounds good to you! (But I will say that the gyoza is the best I've ever had). The atmosphere in the restaurant is awesome. If you get the chance, try out one of their rooms for dining - it's a really fun experience. You sit on cushions on the floor but there is a cutout underneath the table where your legs can go to sit comfortably as if on a chair.Anyways, amazing experience! Definitely recommend!“

“Very nice place with good service. It has become our favorite. There are always free seats, the halls are large. The rolls are absolutely delicious! Huge selection for every taste and budget. The pieces of fish are large and the rice is small - an ideal ratio. Pour delicious green tea, top up as needed. The waiters are helpful and well-trained - 5th arrival. It’s clean, the tables are clean, overall cleanliness and order - I really appreciate this, a rarity in our region. Prices for a set of rolls start from $5 - and this is a large number of types like Philadelphia, etc. I definitely recommend it.“

“Hibachi is always a fun way to have a group dinner. Our chef was a little new and a little nervous but kept the vibes good and the food was great. A couple mistakes here and there but it didn't take away from the overall enjoyment. The servers were pleasant and service was quick.“

“Meet the owner Charlie, what a pleasant gentleman. I was extremely happy with the quality of the sushi ?. Nice size portions. Definitely coming back. If anyone is ever looking for A1 quality in sushi. This is your place hands down ??❤️❤️“

“First visit and most likely will return. This place is in a shopping center so quite convenient for parking. The atmosphere was pleasant with koi swimming in a tank and comfortable seating. Service was friendly and timed well. Everything we ate was good.Our visit was during the winter holiday season and after paying our bill we were gifted with an individual tea thermos. Very nice surprise Price for two, with two appetizers and one entree each was reasonable at just under 50.“

“Honestly some of the best chicken hibachi I’ve had. Like real good sized pieces of chicken. Our waitress was nice and had perfect skin. I almost wanted to ask what she uses.Kid-friendliness: Kids running around with lollipops. Seemed to be having a great time.“

“A great place for dinner out, in a quiet and relaxing location. The service is outstanding: quick, attentive, and friendly. All of the food that we ordered was both fresh and well prepared- you can even watch your sushi being prepared. Would definitely recommend the Philadelphia Roll or the Dynamite Roll. The Scallion Pancakes were also divine.“

“We just moved into the area and decided to try out this spot. HIDDEN GEM! We ordered a sushi boat and right off the bat, the presentation was amazing and everything was super fresh. Staff was very quick and friendly as well. If you're looking for quality sushi, I'd highly recommend this place.“

“Hands down my favorite restaurant in Bristol.We eat here at least twice per month and always leave satisfied. Deliciously reliable - one of my favorite dishes is the vegetable udon. The sushi is always fresh and satisfying. Fantastic service!!!!!“

“Came in with 7 people last night(last minute, no reservation) for our son’s Birthday. Food was fresh, beautifully presented and delicious. Wonderful personal service very much appreciated & the fried cheesecake with the birthday candle made the evening very special. We will definitely be back!“

“Overall I have had a nice experience with this place, have only ordered for take out so I can’t speak for the inside. This is the third time I ordered from this place. The food on the pic costed me around 150-170$ and was enough for 8 people. Very delicious food and a lot of variety, staff was friendly. Would go back again. I recommend it ?“

“The restaurant is good for couples or big groups. The service is good, there is no comments. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. Music plays and temperature is just right. Now, the food is tasty as always, and it was on the table in 14-15 minutes. Enjoy your meal!“

“If you are wanting to try out sushi this is a great place to start. Priced very reasonably & not an overwhelming menu. You can try a variety of rolls & sashimi without breaking the bank. Service was quick & the place was busy.They also have hibachi.Tons of parking & dining room is large.“

“just did takeout from here. the hot food was packaged in 'hot togo' bags. when we got it home, the hot food was still crispy and the cold food was still chilly. the sushi was awesome. super fresh. I can't wait to do the eat in experience because the take out was great!“

“You would think Shumai Wok is actually a dine in restaurant from its name. But it is actually a takeout and delivery restaurant. With that being said, don't expect off-the-chart service and food lol. Everything is pretty fast-paced in here. Don't worry about parking, since SW sits in a little center. I've only gotten sushi from Shumai Wok, so far so good. My favorite is the Philly Roll. It has the smoked salmon, cream cheese, and avocado(I have ask to sub the cucumbers with avocado). Boston Roll and Crispy Kani Roll is also very tasty. Will update once I try other rolls in the future.P.S. Shumai Wok accept credit cards. If your purchase is under $10, they will add a surcharge of $0.50, I guess for fees.“

“I’ve always loved Ota-Ya. I wrote a five star review about five years ago and I have to update it today. We had Mother’s Day dinner there last weekend. They renovated the decor and put down wood floors which are beautiful. The service was great and the food was out of this world! If possible the food was better than ever. Very Fresh. It’s a great place to eat.“

“This place is wonderful, I frequent here at least monthly if not more when I’m in the area. Lunch specials very affordable and tasty. Their poke bowls, sashimi and rolls are all delicious and fresh. I’ve done eat in (great atmosphere and service) as well as takeout. Highly recommended for the area!Parking: Lots of free parking in the shopping center“

“We Have been going to Sushi House for years. My wife and I miss eat in, but are glad they are still doing take out. We will likely still do take out most of the time when they reopen the dining room, but we will be eating in again as well as soon as they reopen eat in.“
