After Laku in Morristown closed down to make way for yet another condo redevelopment, my usual dining companion and I felt like we'd lost our go-to spot for sushi and Asian cuisine in the area. Thankfully, Mintea just a quick drive north on Ridgedale Avenue in Morris Plains has completely filled the void left by Laku's untimely demise. While the dining area's minimal decor clearly prioritizes function over atmosphere, the food and service are where this place truly stands out. The menu runs the gamut of Asian cuisines -- covering Japan, China, Thailand, and Vietnam -- and every single thing we've tried is incredibly well-executed. My dining companion and I have ordered everything from sushi to soups and noodle dishes and nothing misses the mark. The service is also terrific. The servers are genuinely friendly and attentive without ever being overbearing. One of the long-tenured servers always asks my dining companion how her father is doing -- because he had joined us once for dinner at Mintea a few years ago. If you're looking for a reliable, delicious spot that hits all the right notes, Mintea is a fantastic addition to the rotation. PRO TIP #1: Bring cash. Mintea offers a discount for using cash to pay for your meal. read more

My coworkers swear by this place and have made it a tradition to order sushi every Wednesday. I finally got invited to join, and I can confidently say this spot is solid! I've tried a variety of sushi, and it's always fresh and delicious. The rice dishes are great too, and I especially love the wonton soup, which uses thin pasta instead of the thick noodles that most spots serve. I also tried the Pad Thai, but it wasn't really my favorite because the noodles weren't my preferred type, and the shrimp were a bit large and gummy. That said, overall this is a really great sushi spot that I'll happily return to for their consistently fresh sushi and flavorful dishes weekly. read more

This is my go-to Curry Spot. I love the green curry with chicken, but the red's no slouch either. It's a fave lunch spot too with some local friends every month or two. There's a lot to offer on the menu. read more

Solid service, a mix of Chinese, Thai and Japanese food here. Good salad and eel rolls. The sesame chicken looks good! The agedashi tofu not as great, but service is solid. Lunch specials available. Smaller shop but busy - a lot of people coming to get lunch to go, too. read more

We ordered from here for a small event last week, and food was pretty good. They delivered more than 30 minutes early, which is better than being late, but still! Sushi was good, and it's nice that they have both good sushi and Chinese food. It's more convenient than having to order from two different places. We'll definitely order from them again when we need food delivered to our office. read more

Came here recently with some friends and this place was delicious! This nice place welcomes you with a warm, yet intimate venue and has booths, tables, and a such bar area. The service was friendly and they want to ensure a very clean environment. As a vegetarian, my options for sushi are usually limited so I was happy to see a lot of variety of options for not just types of foods, but a lot of sushi rolls! I loved the ones I got, the green tree, Hawaii, and fancy rolls were fresh and delicious! If you are looking for a sushi/asian fusion restaurant in the area, I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Mintea Sushi & Asian Bistro - Vegetable Gyoza - Japanese Near Me - Cedar Knolls, New Jersey

Mintea is hit or miss, but lately it seems to be more of a miss. They have a large menu with a variety of Asian cuisine like Japanese, Chinese and Thai. Based on everything I've gotten, I'd say to avoid Japanese and Thai dishes and stick to simple sushi rolls and simple Chinese dishes. The chicken teriyaki was not good. Usually this dish comes with high quality white meat grilled chicken. This was like a weird dark meat breaded chicken. The pad thai is also not great and comes with a low quality chicken. Mintea hits the spot for wonton soup and egg rolls - both have been A+ every time. Unfortunately, for more complex dishes I'd probably steer clear. There are lots of amazing Thai and Japanese options in town to hit up instead. read more

All the food is excellent and delivery is fast. Pleasant ambience if you eat there. Recommend highly.

Simple choices from lunch menu, I choose sashimi regular with five kinds of fish. The place is neat and server is friendly and service is swift read more

A certain group in our office loves this bistro and I wanted to try it with them. To be fair, I am merging their reviews with mine, because I myself did not really go for it. Then again, because this was a work order, I went with the lunch specials everyone else seems to order in instead of sushi, and that's on me. The Thai is not what you want here - the wrong flavor balance and ingredient balance, mushy noodles. But then again, between the photos and my coworkers (who have eaten in - I have not had that opportunity yet, only the takeout), the sushi one would order in the restaurant itself is likely five stars. So out of fairness, I will blend the stars into a final rating of 4, and prod my coworkers to get us out of the office a little more so I can experience this place in person and get the review fleshed out. read more

Food, service, and setting are always on point. I've been here many times and it never disappoints. Today, I only had a few minutes to eat, and I was in and out in 15 minutes. read more

Surprisingly good find in the area. The place is in a small strip mall but has a large menu that covers a few different Asian cuisines. We took advantage of that and ordered udon soup, sashimi, sushi, and steamed chicken and vegetables dishes- all were good. The servers were the best part - super nice and accommodating. read more

Great family run sushi that has become our go to place. Sashimi is always fresh, but a little light on variety for the boats and chirashi. Love most of their rolls, but do suggest you skip the one with mango sauce. Too much sauce makes it look unappealing and the flavor does not make up for it. Their avacado bomb is really amazing and they serve it with sauce on the side which odd great for my diet. Highly recommend!!! read more

Did a Yelp search for sushi close up mh hotel & came up with Mintea. They have a large menu of Japanese, Chinese & Thai cuisine. They even have lunch specials on Saturday & I got the sushi & sashimi combination. I had a salad & an order of shumai. Everything was fresh & good. My server was super friendly. They look like they do a lot of take out. They are located in a small plaza & have a parking lot. read more

I've been going here for about a year, today was my 24th time there. I've eaten in, but mostly I get it to go. The sashimi is always fresh and of great quality for the price, there's definitely better out there but it comes with a much higher price tag I generally get Temaki (cone shaped hand roll), Maki, special rolls to be precise and some assortment of sashimi They always deliver flavour and good quality fin and shell fish. The one thing I don't like is being charged for condiments like spicy mayo - I'm spending on average $75 an order you can't give me a couple of 2 ounce containers of spicy mayo - come on guys!!!! Anyway it's one of my Jersey go to places for sushi, it's not Nakazawa or Mitsu but it's a great place and great food/service and 1/3 the price read more

Stopped by here for lunch on 7/22 and I enjoyed myself a FEAST! Crunchy Dragon Eel roll - $18 Eel, avocado, spicy tuna, roe A ton of ingredients packed in the roll topped off with a sweet soy sauce. As my son would say, "Delishus!" Great lunch deal $11 for 2rolls + complimentary soup or salad. Spicy Tuna roll - 6pcs Spicy Salmon roll -6pcs The rolls were pretty big with sweet and sticky sushi rice topped with sesame seeds (mm mm good!). I was very SATISFIED afterwards. Angela, the very friendly manager/owner even took the time to chat me up. Let me pick a large secluded booth in the midst of busy lunch hour. And for that great service, she even gave me a DISCOUNT! I got her back with an extra tip. I'll be back to say hi to Angela and try other rolls. :) read more

Wide selection on the menu with a good lunch package. Fast delivery and easy ordering online

Food and service was good, however, they chose to leave the tails on of the shrimp in my shrimp with broccoli which requires me to remove every tail with my fingers which made a big mess, guys please just simply cut the tails off your shrimp, thanks read more

Love, love love this place! Found this little gem about 10 years ago and it's always been delicious! Love their bento box options. So much food I always have to bring some home. The tuna bomb is delicious and so fresh! This place is my favorite sushi restaurant in the area! read more

I have been here before with no problem, but I do have celiac disease. So on Oct 15, 2025 I, as usual, asked for gluten free soy sauce (Tamari). The server nodded and came back with a small ceramic container. There is no way to tell Tamari from regular soy sauce, neither by look, aroma or taste. Unfortunately it was not actually Tamari. I am embarrassed to say that I vomited on the table 3 times (sorry, Mintea), and it has taken 36 hours for me to stabilize. My recommendation is to go, but if you are celiac, bring your own Tamari. read more

Some of the best sushi I've ever had. The white rice is incredible. Excellent service, great ambiance and great for takeout orders. 5 stars.

Just ok Chinese ..not too flavorful And dumplings very small.. Mr Chu is better food but they r not the friendliest .. Mayb this place is better for sushi ... read more

I've been here probably 20 times at this point and realized I haven't written a review. This restaurant is such a hidden gem - the staff is so welcoming and friendly and we've never had to wait very long for a table. Extremely accommodating. I feel like I've ordered everything on their menu at this point - gyoza, shumai, scallion pancakes, every special roll, and even bento boxes and chicken katsu (which is a great lunch special of theirs). Everything is so fresh and consistently good. Highly recommend coming here!! read more

First time visit. Place was nicely decorated and the staff was kind. The sushi was good too, we had the ridgedale roll, spicy kani and spicy salmon roll. The place loses stars on cleanliness. The table was sticky and not cleaned properly. But what truly grossed me out was when the sushi chef dropped the to-go containers on the dirty floor and stacked them back up for use instead of either tossing them or cleaning them properly. I won't be returning for sure after seeing this but hopefully they don't do this again and work on the cleanliness. Otherwise nice food! read more

We had a great lunch at Mintea! The service is always attentive and friendly. We loved everything! Thai iced tea is a favorite! The crab Rangoons are beautiful and indescribably delicious!

Overpriced Asian food. I ordered pad kee mow it tasted just like chao fun. They are two totally different flavors of dishes but they make it taste like the same! Not worth the price. read more

I was in the mood for Japanese and found this spot. I called in my order of the general tso shrimp lunch special. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and was greeted and my food was ready. I paid and left. The food was good just the shrimp was a little too breaded. Also the vegetable gyoza was a little oily. All in all I had an ok experience. read more

My wife and I stopped in last night for a later dinner, the resturant was empty minus a few employees and each one was very friendly and excited to greet us. All employees were wearing masks and were very professional) After we were sat our drink order was immediately taken and brought out. Our waiter was excellent very happy and excited to be taking care of us. He let us know of things he enjoyed on the menu prior to us ordering, and checked back in often. We ordered 4 rolls which we have done at many places before, but the portions were very large and we were not able to finish. (dont worry we took it home) All four rolls were excellent served on a boat with a very pleasant presentation. Upon arriving the waiter showed us what each roll was so we understood what we were trying. The sushi was great and certainly was not expected from a strip mall, you could taste the freshness or the fish which was very clean and combined very well for delightful flavor combinations. The waiter came back and joked how we had to throw in the towell since we couldnt finish and packed our leftovers up for us, next Angela (assuming she is the owner) brought us our bill and thanked us for coming in. We had a brief discussion about how we are from the area and trying Mintea for the first time. She was very polite and passionate about her resturant . Overall we had a great experience, we will certinally be back to try something else than sushi and we are looking forward to it. Thank you for the great meal, and thank you for treating your last table of the night like it was your first! read more

My family loves Mintea! We have eaten here many times over the past year and a half (since we moved to the area) and have only had great meals and service! The service is always delightful, the ingredients are always fresh! Angela, is a highly experienced and respected restaurant owner and is usually present. Her staff, including Ricky and Jesse, is amazing and has been so thoughtful regarding my daughter's nut and sesame allergies. The place is clean, decorated well and has a warm ambiance. It's also a byob, so it's a fun date restaurant! read more

I have been to Mintea many times. Every experience is great and the staff are amazing. This is a family owned resturant with many different food options. The staff are very accommodating and will go above and byond to make your experience great. The food here is definitely above average and each dish always has high quality and fresh ingredients. Each time the fod is consistantly good and very tasty. The sushi here is very tasty and well made. I personally reccomend the salmon lover, a favorite of my family's as well as any of the other sushi dishes. My personal favorite is the gemeral Tso's chicken. One of my favorite "chinese" dishes. No other place can compare to the perfection of this dish here. The chicken is crunchy and juicy in the center. The sauce is excellent and the portion given is very good. The atmosphere of this restaurant is very nice and low key. There is a good amount of seating and the restaurant is kept clean and well decorated. You can have a nice conversation with another person as well as a group of people without it being to loud or uncomfortably quiet. An overall amazing sushi and asian food restaurant. The food here is extremely good and I recommend this place to anyone nearby. My all time favorite restaurant to eat at. read more

No complaints other than the server almost dropped a whole plate of food on my friends mother's lap. The server or waitress at the end of our FOOD service decided to add her own tip to my credit card instead of allowing me to give her the tips she deserved I believe this is completely unethical and unprofessional to take it up upon yourself to add a tip to my card without providing me with the receipt and allowing me to write it in myself and then try to explain to her. I was going to give her a larger tip, but since she decided to write it in herself and then charge my card, that was the tip she would be receiving I believe she then understood because then she offered each one of the children a gift. I've called the restaurant several times to try to speak to the manager. I've been hung up on. I left my phone number and nobody's returned my call. read more
