Best Japanese Restaurants in Swansea

When you find yourself in New Bedford, MA, treat yourself to a meal at The Black Whale. Extremely convenient location, plenty of parking and a beautiful building make a great first impression. We were warmly greeted by a Manager and a Server, and even though we were 40 minutes early, they sat us straight away. The menu is extensive, however, not overwhelming, and SO many great choices. Our Server, Meredith was very warm and welcoming, starting us off with water and their delectable salmon dip with tasty “crackers”. To aid the decision making process, my wife started with a Painkiller, and I a Maine Lunch. We finally decided on the tuna poke bowl for my wife and the pan-seared scallops for me. Oh, and I had to try the New England Clam Chowder, the best I have had in quite some time. Then Meredith informed me the chowder is an Officials and People’s choice award winner from this year’s festival. Please do try it! Honestly one of the most delightful, delicious and enjoyable meals I’ve had in the area. The Black Whale is definitely a must do when you find yourself in the New Bedford area, or you are just passing through.

Amazing Peking duck, delicious fresh sushi. So many fabulous dishes to choose from. Service is exceptional. Highly recommend.

Went for anniversary dinner. We were treated like royalty and given the private booth near the back. 10/10 would recommend.

Our server MacKenzie "Mack" was so friendly and made excellent suggestions for our first time there. It was Christmas Eve so we had a non-traditional Seven Fishes and loved it! We can't wait to come back.

Excellent, fresh food and perfect service. I had a special roll and it was perfect. Definitely worth a trip for a great night out.
