Longtime Morristown Sushi Spot Announces Closure

MORRISTOWN, NJ — A sushi restaurant in Morristown will be serving its final meal soon, its owner reported this weekend.

Laku Sushi, located at 30 Lafayette Avenue, will be closing its doors on June 15, the restaurant announced on social media in response to a report first published by Morristown Media.

The popular sushi spot, which opened more than a decade ago, became known for its fresh and creative take on authentic Japanese and Korean cuisine. Menu staples included a wide selection of rolls, sashimi, and tempura dishes.

One standout was the “Morristown Roll,” made with shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, cucumber, and avocado wrapped in soybean paper, then topped with fresh tuna, spicy mayo, eel sauce, and wasabi mayo.

For those not in the mood for sushi, the restaurant also offered katsu—crispy, deep-fried pork or chicken cutlets served with tonkatsu sauce and rice—as well as Japanese-style ramen and a variety of teriyaki dishes.

According to the team at Laku Sushi, the restaurant is closing due to upcoming reconstruction of the building it currently occupies.

"We loved doing business here for the last ten years and created so many memories with our customers that will live with us forever," the team wrote on social media. "Words cannot express how thankful we are for all the kind words and memories from everyone."

Until they close, Laku Sushi will be serving customers during the following hours:

• Monday through Thursday and Sunday: 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
• Friday and Saturday: 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
