I'm heading over there with friends next weekend. I'm from way upstate, so I don't have any real japanese restaurants in my town, and this is a good opportunity. Where does a Newarker go for some good meshi?
Favorite spots?
My three fav spots are Fornos, Don Pepe, and Chateau of Spain
Is this a joke?
No lol I went to school in newark and now work in newark - and my co workers and I love going to these places after work
Casa d’Paco, Seabra’s Marisqueira, and Casa Vasca
Yes.
2/3 of those are Spanish.
Yes but from the part of Spain that might as well be Portugal.
Says guy who has never been to Galicia. Casa Vasca's owner is also Basque, I believe.
I thought the previous chef from Casa Vasca was from Galicia? And is now at Casa d’Paco.
The chef may very well have been Gallego.
You literally listed Spanish restaurants instead of Portuguese lmao
The best place in Newark for Japanese food is in Fort Lee, NJ 😂
If you find a place let us know lol Newark is not a great option for Japanese food
I'd get on the PATH and go somewhere in Manhattan
Best bet if you have a car is Tomo's Cuisine in East Hanover.
Sakura Japan is my go to spot. Is it authentic Japanese food? I have no idea, but it's at a very convenient location on broad street which is a 10 minute walk from NJPac, or if you're city savvy, one light rail stop away from Penn Station.
The food allows me to enter a food coma and feel good about myself for 20 minutes before having to resume work.
Thats a mall food court chain my dude
This would be akin to suggesting panda express to someone who wants Chinese food, or Taco Bell to someone who wants Mexican food.
I don't disagree at all but the thread was empty when I came across it, and I honestly don't know if we have any authentic Japanese spots here.
Just came across this spot randomly, I think she's a winner + newly opened + in a great area
Probably the worst city in the country to eat Japanese food.
There is a niche japanese food type at
Go!Go! Curry! 1 William St, Newark, NJ 07102
Yea I didn’t even know Newark had Japanese food
Kim's Sushi in Montclair is probably your best bet.
West orange*
Oh shit youre right, im used to taking that exit for Montclair and just lumped it in
I also like Wasabi in West Orange. Good luck!
Japanese food may not be the best in Newark, try Hoboken or Jersey City. They have great places. In newark you will find the best Portuguese/ Spanish food and very good Brazilian steak houses.
If you’re near newark penn station, look near track 1. There’s a train that takes you to the best food city in america in 20 minutes
Manu's is Brazilian-Japanese. Has hibachi and sushi. Its pretty good.
Ramen Gami reopens finally on Feb 19th apparently. That place was also really good.
Oh shit it’s reopening? Thank god.
I thought I saw it on their website but now I can't find it.
Damn

Why eat Japanese food in newark? Why not have some of the best Portuguese food in the country?
