Tsuru Japanese Cuisine: Reviews & Ratings

What an amazing place! I moved here from New York City so I have a pretty high standard for restaurants. Not only were the rolls impeccable, but the salad and soup were on point as well. The chefs were highly skilled, and the server was extremely prompt and friendly. I’m sure anybody from California complaining in their review is just looking for reasons to complain because it doesn’t apply to this place. I was even gifted a free chef special roll that was out of this world! I will definitely be back.

Visited for lunch and had a few lunch specials. Came in very hungry but food was just enough. Fish was fresh and service was good.

Tsuru serves the absolute freshest most beautifully presented sushi and sashimi in Somerset County. Excellent every time!

By far the best sushi my husband and I have ever had. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Food came quick and the servers were very kind. Don’t skip dessert— the mango mochi was incredible! We will absolutely be back!

Ordered the chirashi and tempura banana. Both were so good that I would definitely come back. The sashimi tasted very fresh and I love this presentation of a chirashi. The service was also great! No complaints here

This is by far our favorite sushi spot in all of New Jersey. Very unassuming restaurant in a strip mall area. The special sushi rolls are unbelievable. Take note of the board with specials, including the Cosplay Roll and the Luck Roll. The fish is always fresh and so tasty, the preparation lovely crafted with care. This restaurant can rival some of the most high end sushi restaurants in Manhattan. Also try the spicy Kani salad. Ample free parking and they do take out orders too, though we prefer to eat there in person. The place is BYOB and there is Ridge Wine store in the same strip mall, so very convenient to grab a bottle of sake before eating there.
