Nijo Castle Japanese Restaurant in Newark

I always have a great time when I go here with my friends. The food is delicious, and the chef is so nice. I love all the little tricks he does to entertain the guess. Gratuities are added to the bill, which is also convenient.

My husband and I went here for lunch. It was super dead. Then the food came out and it was kind of cold. So the calamari became more chewy. The staff was OK. They didnt seem to be attentive to us. All in all the food was OK. The service was also ok. The decorations was nice though.

We stayed at a DoubleTree hotel next to the restaurant, and went there for a Sushi dinner, the portion was relatively big! Just an OK restaurant, nothing special.

Very nice the chefs would let you change your meal Even after they have the food out and they would sometimes have a conversation with you. Very nice bathrooms, but in the girls bathroom, there is a light that would be of and on sometimes. My dad even found his ex . The food is somewhat expensive but its worth it. I got a calamari steak and I loved it 😋 👌

Great place to come for a date night or dinner with family and friends, and watch a great chefs work there cooking skills, any sushi and filet mignon, shrimp with fried rice is great, if you want to switch it up from just going out to another regular restaurant just setting at a table waiting for your food, this is the spot, sit back and watch the chefs work there magic

The food was delicious I had a get together for my daughters birthday. There was a lot of confusion with the menu and where to sit.There is not enough staff to wait on tables. We couldnt get the Birthday discount because we didnt sit at the hot table where they cook your food in front of you. Because of Covid they make the food Separate and bring it to you. I can say the quality of the food was great and delicious. FYI they add gratuity on the bill even if you split the bill.

I am very impressed with Nijo Castle. We found this place on accident because we originally wanted to try the Filipino restaurant next door. And this was the best mistake I made in a long time. I actually love this place a lot better than Benihanas as far as the experience, the freshness and quality of food and service. If you’ve never been, this is a must try!

Food was good, we had amazing birthday dinner celebration. It was fun hibachi experience if you havent tried, food is cooked in front of you. They have great selection of sushi.

Firstly when we arrived no one greets you, we had to basically go inside to look for staff. Place looks dark and dirty. Food was ok, not the best. And they added tip themselves 20%. I was going to tip them cash but they chose to do it themselves without even telling us until after they charged our card. Will not go back and do not recommend.

We went there to celebrate two birthdays and and Anniversary and it was horrible the cook was inexperienced forgot the bowls for the rice the fried rice was hard and crunchy, didnt ask me how I wanted my meat cooked and it was a bit rare. Failed at a couple of tricks cooking. When I called them to complain about it a day later they told me that they couldnt do anything about it because apparently I should have complained and made a Seen while I was there. $340 later....I been going 30 years and wont go back!
