If you're looking for fresh, high-quality sushi, Ju Ichi definitely delivers. The standout here is the fish quality--the tuna and salmon are top-tier, exceptionally fresh, and cut well. The eel rolls were a bit average compared to the rest of the meal, but still fine. While the takeout prices are slightly higher than other spots nearby, the quality of the raw fish makes it completely worth the extra cost in my opinion. Solid pick if you want great sushi to-go! read more

Ordered takeout for lunch. Did the two roll lunch special, it really is a great deal! Comes with miso soup and salad. Staff is always friendly inside. read more

Ju-Ichi japanese Restaurant - Eel Avocado Roll and Shrimp Tempura Roll - Japanese Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

I had such a wonderful dinner at Ju-Ichi! We were seated right away without a reservation on a weeknight. The inside was bright and clean. Our server was so lovely and attentive! We both had delicious bottled beverages, my friend chose the sparkling yuzu soda and I had the sparkling lychee oolong tea! So refreshing! We ordered a few plates to share and each one was better than the last. The pork bao buns were perfectly fluffy and had a delicious sauce. The tuna tacos were such a fun idea, and I loved the avocado inside! The yellowtail jalapeno had just the right spice, and the fish melted in your mouth. Lastly, we had the shichimi salmon roll. It was massive and packed with flavor! Overall, I can't wait to come back and try more from their menu! read more

Ramen here is the best. We got the Kuro ramen and it was absolutely killer. Super rich and deep pork flavor with a fantastic black garlic oil slathered on it. The bamboo shoots tasted a bit weird but other than that the noodles and meat were cooked perfectly. You can tell the time and care put into this broth because it's fantastic, super layered but not too heavy. Beef tataki wasn't my favorite but I added some of their chili oil and that elevated it a TON. the chili oil here has an amazing flavor and a fantastic addition to any dish. If they sold that id buy it for home. Service was fast, order taken the moment we decided and our app came out about 3 minutes later. The ramen took another 5 minutes and then came out steaming. We were able to walk up to the front and get our check immediately as well. Overall friendly and speedy. The inside is cute with a minimalist japanese aesthetic. The kitchen is pretty on view so you can see you're sushi or ramen being prepped. Overall great find and if i'm in the area again i'll be back! read more

Ju-Ichi really hits the spot. I had the shoyu ramen, shrimp tempura, and the spicy crab roll -- everything was absolutely delectable. The ramen had great depth of flavor, the tempura was crisp and light, and the roll was fresh and satisfying. Even on a rainy Thursday night the place was packed, which says a lot, but we were seated immediately. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient the whole time. I also loved the ambiance of the place. There's something about it that feels very communal, and it was cool being able to watch the sushi chefs and the rest of the team at work. This will definitely become one of my staples in Morristown! read more

Stopped in on a cold rainy night for some hearty soup. The Miso Ramen definitely delivered. It was rich, creamy and filling. Loved the black garlic oil in it. Only adjustment I made was to get the sliced pork on the side and add chicken. The pork was very fatty so I skipped it. The chicken was very fatty too. This dinner would have been 5 stars if the proteins were leaner. The server was great. Very attentive and quick. The restaurant is cute and very urban feeling. Only complaint was the stools were too heavy to move and no backs. read more

Drive into Morristown and step foot into...Japan!? Ju-Ichi has become our go-to ramen stop from the quality of food to the service. What's even more impressive is the atmosphere. From the wood finishes to the elongated tables, you're given an almost true experience for Japanese dining. I've only had the ramen but recently tried the sushi with their (amazing priced!) lunch special and wow. read more

Ju-Ichi japanese Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

Good service. Good menu for lunch but for some reason the price for a single piece of sashimi is ridiculously high. The inside is cafeteria style seating which I did not like. If they make us sit in a cafeteria they should have cafeteria pricing. I did like the fried peppers appetizer. read more

Very packed and warm, but service turnaround was fast. Loud with plenty of tables and spacious. We got a variety of food from rolls to ramen/udon, takoyaki, all delicious! I was very surprised with the wasabi raw octopus, so good!! The udon with pork and kimchi, best choice. You can tell that they make their own udon, very chewy with good texture! Can't wait to visit again! Only downside was parking and the wait. read more

Ju-Ichi Japanese Restaurant in Morristown serves up a wide variety of tasty made-to-order Japanese cuisine -- including sushi, ramen and udon noodle soups, donburi rice bowls, and hot and cold appetizers -- in a very casual ambiance served by efficient and friendly staff. Ju-Ichi offers its guests a good approximation of what it's probably like to visit a cozy, family-owned and operated restaurant in Japan, with its minimalistic decor (including bench seating!), authentic Japanese condiments on the table, and constant flow of customers in and out of the restaurant. Ju-Ichi makes my absolute favorite ramen and udon noodle soup in the area! I typically order the Kuro Miso Ramen, a generously-sized bowl of ramen noodles and pork broth served with tender braised pork belly, a soft-boiled egg, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, and black garlic oil, or the Short-Rib Udon, a large bowl of udon noodles and pork and chicken broth served with tender de-boned short-ribs, a soft-boiled egg, and scallions. YUM! My dining companion has gotten ramen noodle soups and the tuna and salmon donburi rice bowls -- all of which she's really enjoyed. We've also tried a few of the specialty sushi rolls as an appetizer, which have been very tasty. There are also plenty of tasty options for vegetarians and vegans on the menu. We'll be back! PRO TIP #1: Noodle soups don't travel well, so Ju-Ichi won't allow pick-up or delivery of their ramen or udon noodle soups. PRO TIP #2: Ju-Ichi is a BYOB establishment, so feel free to bring your favorite sake or Japanese beer to enjoy with your meal. PRO TIP #3: Ju-Ichi doesn't have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of on-street parking off South Street. Bring change or use the ParkMobile app for the meters ($1 per hour) Monday through Saturday from 8am til 6PM; all street meters are free Monday through Saturday after 6pm and all day on Sunday. If you can't find a spot on the street, the Morristown Parking Authority's Ann Bank Garage (@ 19 Bank Street) or the Dalton Garage (@ 25 Cattano Avenue) are a short walk to Ju-Ichi. read more

I've taken 75 trips to Japan so I'm a bit critical when it comes to ramen. 11 killed it. I had the spicy miso and it was perfect. I also sampled the shumai and the gyoza which were both very good. Service was a bit slow whe we 1st arrived but after that they were very attentive, Very authentic, very good, go here! read more

If you're looking to transform yourself to Japan through food,this is the place to try. From their minimalistic wooden interior to one-of-a-kind broth made from scratch for their ramen,I only have praises for this restaurant. Good selection of menu items-sushi,entrees,but the absolute highlight are their ramen/udon varieties. Even their Miso tastes different than anywhere else I've tried. Service could be quicker at times (I've only come here few times during lunch on weekdays and we'd be one of a few customers),but when there's fewer clients,the kitchen is still busy with takeout orders,so you know - and so do others - that their food is special! read more

I'll start off by saying this place would get 3 stars in Bergen County or NYC but gets a solid 4 stars for here. They have a variety in menu including appetizers, rice bowls, ramen, upon, and sushi. The fact that their menu doesn't specialize means everything is serviceable but not necessarily great. Appetizers were pretty good albeit a little too sweet which makes sense given their customer base. Ramen was pretty good also. Anyway, maybe I am too harsh. The decor was modern, clean, and had plenty of space. I didn't like that their chairs didn't have backs. Service was very attentive and efficient. If you have hankering for Japanese food, I'd recommend this place especially for this part of NJ. If you really want too end though go to NYC or Fort Lee. read more

Overall: probably the best restaurant in the area in terms of consistent and quality. I live in NYC and the ramen is almost on the same quality. Service is amazing though! Food: have had lots of the appetizers and they have been something i always kind of never remember. It is not their stand out dishes. As for the ramen, the broth was clear but its missing just some kind of umph i usually get. The noodles are solid, came with a large party so maybe they just sat a little too long and the noodles were a little too overdone. Service: they are always top tier, helpful, and i feel so bad whenever I hear people rude to them because they are doing their best!! read more

This restaurant is overrated. Although the service was good, the core of the experience--the ramen--was disappointing. The noodles were undercooked, the broth was bland and lacked depth, and the toppings, especially the bean sprouts and bamboo shoots, had a strange flavor. I only ate a few bites, just like the rest of my family. Hopefully, none of us gets sick after this meal. read more

The place is so spacious and the ambiance is great. We went on a Saturday late afternoon and there was no wait, it did take them some time to take our order but the menu is extensive so it was needed. We got their chicken bao buns as an appetizer and loved them! The chicken was so juicy and the bun was just perfect. My boyfriend got the Spicy Tuna Don and it was delicious, the crab salad was one of the best ones we've had in New Jersey and the combination in the bowl itself felt so refreshing, it comes with a side so he got the miso soup which was rich and pretty good as well. I got their Kuro Miso Ramen and I really liked it! My only complaint is that there seemed to be more bean sprouts than noodles but that's up to preference for sure. This is definitely in my 3 top spots for ramen in New Jersey and my number one in Morris county! read more

For a relatively quick dinner, a friend and I stopped by Ju Ichi on a Saturday evening. There was a 15 minute wait but there are seats by the entrance for you while your table becomes ready. Once we were called up, we were seated and each of the seats (cubes) actually had a compartment for you to put your belongings in which is nice. We ordered the takoyaki as an appetizer and shared the shichimi salmon roll and beef udon. We found that the octopus in the takoyaki was a bit tough/dense/chewy which led us to assume that it sadly may have been frozen. The shichimi salmon roll on the other hand was delicious and the beef udon was yummy too! We didn't expect the beef to resemble the beef found in hotpot, but it was still tasty. Overall, I enjoyed Ju Ichi and would come back! read more

Holy crap this ramen broth BLEW ME AWAY!! Genuinely, this might be one of the richest but not overly heavy, salty or fatty broths I've ever had. It had insane depth of flavor, hitting every note--salty, little sweet, savory--just overall everything I want in my ramen broth. This hearty and generous portion filled me up perfectly and I'm going to be craving this all the time. We also tried their beef tataki appetizer, it was perfectly tender and had a nice flavor. However, adding their homemade (I think) chili oil on top brought it to the next level. The chili oil had the best taste, it literally almost tasted like a plate of fried gyoza with how savory and flavorful it was and with the perfect amount of heat, I wish I could take it home!! Thinking about the next time I can come back out for a bowl of ramen from ju-ichi! Side note, their seating area is very cute, but all backless chairs if that's a concern to you. read more

Best fish in Morristown no contest. Great service, good takeout, even better dining in.

This is quite simply New York fresh sushi and sashimi plus savory soups and Japanese foods. The highest quality is evident here. Service is always with a smile and it's byob so you can wash the luscious foods down with that special bottle of cool sake. Pro tip: use a wine glass. It's more authentic that way! The Toro is exceptionally glistening and sumptuous. read more

Ju-Ichi japanese Restaurant - Something delicious. - Japanese Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

Food was just salty. It's not authentic Japanese but rather Asian fusion. Uni roll was so expensive for 2 rolls and it wasn't that fresh. (Paid a entree price for 2 rolls) Ordered Hamachi Kama and that was kinda salty. It was chewy and some parts were tender. Shrimp tempura was alright. Batter was too thick, but shrimp was ftesh. Short rib udon was just salty from the broth. You can't have the noodles sit in the soup too long or it's salty. It's Chinese flavored short ribs. I got sick of eating it because of how salty it got. This ain't authentic Japanese food. It was very pricey. read more

I really like this place. The decor looks Japanese. I was told the udon is very good even better than the ramen and I have to agree the udon is really good. The flavor of the broth is very strong which I like. The miso ramen broth is good but a tad too salty. We like all the appetizers especially the squid. The sushi is also very good especially the fish. Overall a pretty decent Japanese place with variety of food in suburb NJ. The service can be better hence 4 stars read more

You have to like a noisy environment but we really enjoyed the food. Been twice and love the Bao buns, noodle bowls. Last time I ordered their burrito rice bowl which has both cold & warm elements so it's a unique eating experience for Americans. We tend to prefer something all cold or all hot. I didn't mind it but it would be more helpful if the servers were friendlier at explaining all the unique and interesting dishes. read more

Super delicious and cool new spot in Morristown! absolutely loved the menu and the variety. I also liked the table seating, I thought it was really cool. The service is pretty good and they sit you pretty quickly. We both ordered sushi, and it was divine. We ordered the carb roll and the Hawaiian roll. My husband usually isn't a sushi fan but he really liked the Hawaiian roll . We also ordered the fried chicken and wings as well as the spring rolls. It was a lot of good and we were able to take home what we didn't finish. read more

This place is SUPER popular. It starts getting crowded after 6:30pm. My friend and I met up for dinner on a Saturday night. We both have never been, but wanted somewhere we could catch up in a location which was in the "middle" for us. Parking is either paid street or in the nearby garage. We waited maybe 30minutes before getting a table, which was pretty good since it was very crowded. Menu was your typical Japanese ramen/sushi place. We both wanted something refreshing, so we both chose poke dishes. Also the calamari app to share. Food was great! But it was definitely pricey. Staff were very friendly and prompt. The whole place ran well and seemed people were entering and being seated at a good pace. Not the best place for an intimate conversation, since it was loud with it being crowded. But definitely a great place to go out with friends for a quick bite, if you're in the area. I personally wouldn't return since there are more affordable and similar restaurants closer to home. Poke salad was $16 and the poke bowl was $21. Solid portion sizes. read more

After some drinks at Dismal Harmony, we decided to do dinner at Ju-Ichi. We stopped in at 7:15 on Friday and the wait was 30 min so we hopped over to the Frog and they called me when ready to seat, which was around 30 min. It was my hubby's first time and I wanted to try a few things... so we shared the tuna tartare, chicken bun, furikake fries (needed some more sauce) and spicy miso ramen. Everything was delicious. Really high quality and great tasting. It was a busy night so we had to sit at the bar area and it was fine and fun to watch the workers assembling sushi. You can byob. read more

I've come here several times with friends, family, and coworkers and each time the fish is fresh. Their dishes are beautifully plated and delicious. I have frequently gotten their karaage and it's consistently amazing. Their pork belly, beef tataki, tuna tartar and miso soup is also delicious. I've also ordered their mackerel which was a much bigger portion than expected and could have been an entree itself! Their mentaiko udon is beautifully creamy. For sushi and sashimi, I've gotten their premium sushi on occasion as well as their daily selection which are both reasonably priced and fresh. I am also a fan of their pepper tuna roll and shichimi salmon roll. Overall, I have yet to eat a dish from here that I did not enjoy. As for ambiance, the restaurant gives casual vibes. The servers are all attentive and polite. Highly recommend!! The only con I could think of is the small space and the door being right in front of the tables. Especially during the winter, you may feel cold when sitting in front of the door. read more

Tasty! It is classic shop for what you can get. They have the typical ramen flavors and appetizers. Service was fast. There is around 35 ish people's worth of seating within the.

More like 3.5 stars. Went to Ju-Ichi for the first time today for lunch. Street parking (meters; 2-hour limit) or parking garages. The good - sushi was excellent. Also, each table had a handy box filled with eating utensils (wooden soup spoons, wooden chopsticks), and napkins. Little jars of condiments and soy sauce were also found on each table. The final plus: it's BYOB. In the "I'm not sure about this" category were the chairs, or should I say hard, heavy wooden backless square-ish stools. Not very comfortable. Gave "don't linger" vibes. We stayed for almost 2 hours anyway. The bad - one, we got our check without asking for it (reinforcing the "don't linger" message). And, two, they charged $2.50 for a cup of hot tea. Maybe I'm just used to not being charged for tea in the 10 years that we ate at the former Laku Sushi restaurant. Despite the bad, we'll be back for the food. read more

Incredible and authentic Japanese food. Definitely some of the best that you can find in the area. According to my husband this is 'the best ramen he's ever had'. A bowl is enormous, the broth is rich and flavorful and the noodles are perfectly cooked. They take such pride in this dish that it's not available for takeout (the rest of the menu is though). I started out with some pork gyoza. I order gyoza everywhere, and this was definitely some of the best that I've had. Perfectly crispy and pan fried! For my main I had the pork katsu curry. The pork was golden fried deliciousness and the curry was super flavorful. It's a bit spicy, so I ordered it on the side which was a good move. Service was friendly and all of the food comes out super quick. The space is really pretty with tons of long wood tables and hanging bulb lights. This was a great experience and I cannot wait to return for some ramen and gyoza. read more

Got the paitan ramen and salmon avocado rolls. The ramen broth was very flavorful, garlicky and the noodles had a nice chew. Maybe the paitan ramen is not as popular and readily available because it took a very long time for it to be ready. The salmon sushi was fresh and very good and it was part of a lunch special that came with miso soup and salad with ginger dressing. The soup was good but the salad dressing was a little tol sweet for me. Overall, a great place to visit read more

Ju-Ichi is a great sushi spot in downtown Morristown. The atmosphere is casual yet modern, the service is quick, and the food is always fresh and delicious. Be sure to try the tempura lobster roll and the wings--both are standout favorites. My only critique is that the staff could work a bit on their friendliness. They are efficient, accommodating, and get you seated and served quickly, but you won't get much conversation or small talk. For some, that's not a bad thing--it just depends on your preference. Overall, Ju-Ichi is a reliable go-to for sushi lovers in Morristown. ------------------------------------------ "Because dining is more than food - it's flavor, style and elegance that should be savored one bite at a time." - AMC read more
