The Best Sushi Restaurants In Ocean County New Jersey Are On This List

I'm a big fan of sushi but unfortunately my husband is not. When I'm feeling like a sushi dinner is in order, I have to find a place that not only has great sushi but offers other delicious options. The closest my husband has ever come to eating raw fish is smoked salmon. He loves his bagels and lox.

We have just a few places in rotation that we like, but I’m looking to expand our list. After extensive research that includes talking to people in our community, I was able to come up with a list of the best sushi places in Ocean County.

This place is beautiful! The service is impeccable and the sushi dishes are artfully prepared and delicious. They offer Hibachi, as well as Thai and Chinese dishes. The only thing that's missing is a bar, so it's B.Y.O.B. They have another location called Koi Asian Fusion - 25 Brick Blvd in Brick, NJ 08723. Not as pretty as the Toms River location ,but the food is just as good.

Winner of the 2022 WRAT Shore Award for "Best Sushi On The Shore" as voted by our listening audience. It also happens to hold a  place on my personal top 5 list.

This is Sáfu Sushi's 2nd location which opened in September 2022.  Their Lavallette location is closed for season. There's quite a buzz around town about this place! According to Alexis's 5 star review:  Sáfu Sushi is a hip, new location in Downtown Toms River, bringing sleek and modern vibes with it. The atmosphere is inviting and warm, the menu straight to the point, the staff friendly and welcoming!
The sushi was made just right and tasted so fresh. Very excited to have a new sushi spot in town within walking distance of some hot spots such as Battle River Brewing, Huddy Park and more. Definitely stop in and give them a chance, you will not regret it!

My friend Mitchell travels from Marlboro to eat here! I've heard really good things about Ikko from WRAT listeners and members of food pages on social media.

The locals and the tourists love the food and the attentive staff. It all looks really good to me.

Joe from Bayville gave me the heads up about this place. He and his co-workers get take-out at least twice a week. It's next on my list of places to try.

My colleague of the last 26 years knows food and what's good in the Silverton section of Toms River. When you want Silverton's finest food offerings, just ask Jimmy Steal.

I love Teresa! She is warm and friendly and knows how to show her customers a good time. I first started coming here maybe 15 years ago. The first time I walked in the door, there was a karaoke party in the sushi bar and everyone was having a blast. It's a great B.Y.O.B. place with good sushi and really good Pad Thai.

Across the street from Koi Asian Fusion on Brick Boulevard is a tiny place that I almost had dinner at 2 weeks ago. Kumo is a place that I've been dying to try before Covid hit. I had my chance 2 weeks ago but they were only open for take-out at this time. We would have done take-out if we weren't with another couple and hubby's obsession with hot food. We live quite a distance, so hubby's food would have been cold by the time we got home. I'll just have to order solo.

It's a place you need to put in the GPS because it's too far to see from Route 37. It sits behind the Mule Rd. jug handle, and unless you live in the area or go to the other businesses in the strip mall, you'll never be able to find it. Thank goodness for word of mouth and the men and women at the nail salon who frequent this place.
