Japanese Restaurants in Bound Brook

At Domo 7 Japanese Restaurant, patrons feast on a bounty of teriyaki, tempura, and seafood dishes, as well as dozens of sushi rolls with fresh fish, eel, and tempura lobster. At the Chester location, hibachi chefs dazzle diners with at-the-table meal preparation that blends showmanship and culinary knowhow.

An extensive menu sets Midori Japanese Restaurant apart. A dozen-plus hibachi dinner selections counter 20+ midori special rolls, including selections of Alaska crab, batter-fried sweet shrimp, and yellow fin tuna—which in the wild, amid a school of tuna, looks like the school bus. Sushi and sashimi abound, too.

The chefs at Ninja Sushi work behind a sleek black bar where they carefully meld ingredients together by hand to make colorful, flavorful rolls. Creatively named signature rolls include the Li'l Mermaid with tempura and cucumber inside and spicy caviar and scallion outside, as well as the Ninja Sandwich—spicy crunchy tuna, marinated crab meat, barbecued eel, and tobiko. Cooked Japanese specialities also emerge from the kitchen in the form of chicken katsu and teriyaki steak.

With a menu that includes hot and cold specialties, sushi and sashimi, and deep-fried delicacies, Midori Sushi has a dish to suit any taste. Meals can begin with cool, crispy, spicy lobster rolls or crispy Japanese chips topped with tuna and Scottish salmon. From there, things warm up with a steak-and-chicken hibachi dinner or a plate of Chilean-sea-bass teriyaki. Those who prefer their heat in the form of spice can try the Volcano roll, testing their taste buds’ strength against yellowfin tuna dressed with two kinds of spicy sauce. Those in search of noodle-based nourishment can dig into bowls of beef or chicken yaki udon or order a side of hibachi noodles to complement any dish or weave into a tasteful hibachi basket.

Tsuki Japanese Restaurant fetes its namesake country's cuisine with a broad menu of noodles, teriyaki, tempura, and sushi featuring three-dozen specialty rolls. House appetizers include the Festival—thin-sliced, seared white tuna adorned with caviar, carrots, seaweed, and bell peppers in a vinegar sauce. Snow White rolls wrap tempura red snapper, asparagus, and avocado in rice paper over spicy garlic sauce, and Zebra rolls top spicy tuna and cucumber with shredded shrimp, carrots, and a savory house sauce. Other dishes include teriyaki meats or tofu, udon noodles, and veggie or meat tempura.

Arirang Hibachi Steakhouse and Sushi Bar's hibachi chefs pull double duty, acting as entertainers in addition to grillmasters. They captivate large groups of diners with whirling knifework, dynamic spatula twirls, and the occasional spout of flame at tableside hibachi grills, flipping hot portions of lobster and chicken directly onto waiting plates. Behind the bamboo-finished bar, the sushi chefs move more slowly as they carefully seal colorful combinations of veggies, seafood, and vinegar-anointed rice within sheets of delicate seaweed. Like a poltergeist beauty pageant, not all of the talent is visible to the eye—the culinary team makes some of the restaurant's most exotic dishes, such as kobe beef sliders and wasabi-crusted filet mignon, behind the closed doors of the kitchen.
