What Are the Japanese and Sushi Options in Bethlehem and Easton?
Sushi Bethlehem PA, Japanese restaurants Easton PA: Our directory already has a dedicated guide to Allentown's sushi scene, but Bethlehem and Easton's six Japanese and sushi restaurants have never been compared head to head. Four sit in Bethlehem (one of those, KOMÉ, is technically in neighboring Center Valley but close enough to be a realistic option for Bethlehem diners), and two are in Easton. All six hold strong Google ratings in our directory data, from 4.4 up to 4.8, so the real differences are in hours, atmosphere, and what's actually on the menu beyond sushi.
Local rule of thumb: Don't assume every name on this list is a pure sushi counter. One Third Asian Cuisine Sushi & Grill mixes in Thai noodle dishes and Chinese cooking alongside its rolls, and Hoolala K-Chicken & Ramen House leans more toward Korean-style chicken and ramen than classic sushi, per its own description in our data. If you want a straightforward sushi-and-hibachi night, Kyoto Sushi & Hibachi Steak House and KOMÉ Restaurant are the more traditional picks of the six.
Which Restaurant Has the Deepest Review Record?
KOMÉ Restaurant is in a different tier entirely on review volume, holding 1,906 reviews at a 4.4 rating in our directory data — more than two and a half times the next-highest review count on this list, Hoolala's 714. It's also the most full-service: Google's verified data lists beer, wine, cocktails, coffee, dessert, a children's menu, and outdoor seating, none of which the other five restaurants list together in that combination. It's open all seven days, Monday through Thursday 11:30am-2:30pm and 4:30-9:45pm, with later closes on Friday (10:45pm), Saturday (12-10:45pm), and Sunday (12-9:45pm).
Which Restaurant Has the Highest Rating?
Hoolala K-Chicken & Ramen House in Easton tops the group at 4.8 stars across 714 reviews in our directory data. It's open every day — Monday through Thursday 11am-9:30pm, Friday and Saturday until 10pm, Sunday 12-9pm — and its service list includes dine-in, takeout, delivery, dessert, vegetarian options, and both good-for-kids and good-for-groups flags. Right behind it, The Other Fish and Takumi Sushi both hold 4.7, though each keeps a noticeably tighter schedule than Hoolala.
Which One Keeps the Shortest Hours?
The Other Fish in Bethlehem is the clear outlier on availability. Per Google's verified hours in our data, it's closed Sunday through Tuesday and open only Wednesday through Saturday, 5-9pm — a four-day, dinner-only schedule, the narrowest of the six by a wide margin. Its service list fits that compact format too: dine-in, takeout, delivery, reservations, vegetarian options, and outdoor seating, with no lunch service listed at all. By contrast, three of the six — Hoolala, Kyoto Sushi & Hibachi, and KOMÉ — are open all seven days.
How Do Hours Compare Across All Six?
Kyoto Sushi & Hibachi Steak House splits its day into lunch (11am-3pm) and dinner (4-9:30pm on weekdays, 4-10pm Friday and Saturday) seven days a week, including a shorter Sunday block from noon to 9pm. One Third Asian Cuisine is closed Mondays but runs 11:45am-8:30pm Tuesday through Saturday and noon-8pm Sunday. In Easton, Takumi Sushi is also closed Mondays, open Tuesday through Thursday 11am-9:30pm, Friday and Saturday until 10:30pm, and Sunday noon-9pm. Between the two Easton options, Hoolala is the only one with no day off at all.
What About Parking and Accessibility?
Parking splits cleanly along free versus paid lines in our data. Kyoto Sushi & Hibachi, One Third Asian Cuisine, and Hoolala all list free lot parking, and Kyoto and Hoolala add free street and free garage parking on top of that. The Other Fish is the only one of the six with exclusively paid parking (lot and street), while KOMÉ and Takumi mix free and paid options. On accessibility, four of the six — Kyoto, One Third, KOMÉ, and Hoolala — report the full set in Google's data: wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking, restroom, and seating. The Other Fish lists entrance, parking, and seating but not restroom; Takumi lists entrance, parking, and restroom but not seating.
What's on the Menu Beyond the Rolls?
Per the descriptions in our directory data, the six restaurants split into three styles. Kyoto Sushi & Hibachi Steak House and Takumi Sushi both pair sushi with hibachi-style cooking, giving non-sushi eaters in the group a cooked option at the same table. KOMÉ is described in our data as an upscale sushi bar with hibachi entertainment and a full bar, closer to a dinner-and-a-show night out than a quick roll run. The Other Fish keeps a kitchen menu alongside its rolls, with chicken katsu and homemade ramen as non-sushi options in its small Broad Street space. On the mixed-cuisine side, One Third Asian Cuisine runs sushi next to Thai noodle dishes and Chinese cooking, and Hoolala K-Chicken & Ramen House centers on Korean-style fried chicken and ramen, per its listed restaurant type in our data, with sushi as a side option rather than the main draw.
Delivery, Curbside, or Dine-In Only?
Takumi Sushi is the only one of the six offering both delivery and curbside pickup in Google's verified service data, giving it the most flexible takeout options of the group. The Other Fish, One Third Asian Cuisine, and Hoolala each offer delivery but not curbside, while Kyoto Sushi & Hibachi offers curbside but not delivery. KOMÉ lists neither delivery nor curbside pickup, which tracks with its more sit-down, full-bar positioning. All six accept reservations, so dine-in is always bookable ahead regardless of which takeout options a given spot supports.
What Should You Know Before You Go?
- Want a full bar with your sushi? KOMÉ Restaurant is the only one of the six listing beer, wine, and cocktails. Takumi Sushi lists wine only; the other four list no alcohol.
- Need a weeknight that's open late? KOMÉ runs until 9:45pm Monday through Thursday and later on weekends; Hoolala and Takumi both run into the 9:30-10:30pm range most nights.
- Planning around a Monday? One Third Asian Cuisine and Takumi Sushi are both closed. Hoolala, Kyoto, and KOMÉ are open.
- Want more than straight sushi? One Third Asian Cuisine covers Thai and Chinese dishes too; Hoolala leans Korean-style chicken and ramen.
- Group dinner with a game on? Kyoto Sushi & Hibachi is the only one of the six flagged good for watching sports in Google's verified data, alongside good-for-kids and good-for-groups.
Bottom Line: Six Solid Options, Very Different Nights Out
Every one of these six Japanese and sushi restaurants in Bethlehem and Easton holds a rating of 4.4 or higher in our directory data, so there's no bad pick on quality alone. The decision comes down to what kind of night you want: KOMÉ Restaurant is the pick for a full-service night out with cocktails and the deepest review record of the group; Hoolala K-Chicken & Ramen House is the highest-rated and open every day; and The Other Fish rewards planning ahead, since its four-day window is the tightest of the six.
