What our guests are saying

If you’re looking for sushi in central Jersey, look no further. An absolute gem, best sushi in town! Amazing service. Rio of Japan does an excellent job of fusing Latin and Japanese flavors while remaining authentic. Its BYOB. Perfect for date night, dinner with the family or just a quick sushi fix. I promise you’ve never had something like the Latin or Mexicano roll before (chef’s kiss)

Beautiful, cozy space with really attentive, friendly staff. We ordered a few rolls, and the sushi was incredibly tasty and fresh. Not for a moment did we feel rushed during our dinner. Definitely a unique spin on Japanese cuisine, with a Latin twist. Another gem in Metuchen. Highly recommend! :)
