Naoki Sushi

I went there last week with my son and husband to celebrate our son's birthday. We chose to sit at the Chef's Counter for the Omakase experience and absolutely loved it!! We could not believe we have such a high-end Omakase experience right in Lawrenceville. The food and the overall experience was exceptional. Would love to go back there many times and recommend to every Japanese food-lover!!

For our anniversary, my husband and I had our very first omakase experience at Naok Sushi, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the refined yet welcoming atmosphere to the thoughtful service and elegant presentation, every detail reflected artistry and passion.

Our server patiently introduced each course and answered our questions with warmth, making the evening feel both personal and educational.

The food was extraordinary in its simplicity. The sushi rice was the most perfect I’ve ever tasted—each grain distinct, delicately seasoned, and holding its form beautifully.
The fish was incredibly fresh, melting effortlessly on the tongue and allowing the natural flavors to shine. Even the freshly grated wasabi carried a subtle sweetness that elevated each bite.
(As someone sensitive to seafood quality, I can confidently say everything was pristine and handled with care.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻)

My personal favorites were the fatty tuna sashimi, the roasted tuna cube, all the eel dishes and the chawanmushi. Each dish celebrated the pure beauty of its ingredients rather than masking them with heavy flavors, a style I truly appreciated.

If I had one small suggestion, it would be that the Japanese vanilla ice cream with matcha at the end, which had a few tiny frozen ice crystals. Still, it was a minor detail in an otherwise flawless meal. And I truly appreciate the extra "bling" they put on our dessert to make our evening even more magical!
It was an unforgettable anniversary dinner, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.

This sushi restaurant is one of the most authentic Japanese dining experiences I've had in the United States. From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the interior design, it made me feel like I was traveling in Japan.

If you're curious to try their sushi but you don’t have too much budget, I highly recommend their lunch set, which is only available on Fridays and Saturdays. The lunch set includes 10 different pieces of sushi, a miso soup, and a small salad. While the quality of the fish is undoubtedly fresh and above average for the U.S., the overall impression of the sushi set was solid but not particularly surprising. Still, it was a satisfying and well-balanced meal.

One small downside I encountered was regarding the miso soup. After finishing my meal, I asked for a refill of the soup, I thought it was free (usually free in other similar fine dining). However, I wasn’t informed that there would be an extra $3 charge, which I only noticed after receiving the receipt. Fortunately, $3 isn't a big deal, but I do believe that a simple heads-up would have made the overall guest experience feel more transparent and thoughtful.

Overall, it's a beautiful place for an authentic sushi lunch, especially for those looking to enjoy a refined yet casual experience.

Naoki Sushi is a must-try! The Omakase experience was incredible, with expertly crafted dishes and impeccable service. Chef Naoki's passion for sushi is evident in every bite. Intimate atmosphere and beautiful decor. Highly recommend!

Simply amazing. Maybe pricey, but it would probably be double the cost in a city, so who cares.

The quality of the food and preparation is amazing as were the staff. Just an incredible experience. I won't share all the pics as they have already been posted.
