“Tried a takeout from this small place on Washington ave and did not get disappointed. In addition to pretty decent sushi they also have some interesting dishes such as gyoza, yakitori for those who like an injection of meat appetizers in their takeout. Stuff is really friendly and offered me a little bit on the house at the late hour, which was a nice addition to a great food. Will recommend!“
“We had a great anniversary. We got the 12 piece + 2 hand roll omakase set for $53. The fish was super fresh and the whole meal was about 45min. There’s about 12-15 seats at the counter, so if you want to guarantee seating book a reservation. It was absolutely worth every “
“Great place to stop by for a simple omakase lunch. Theres a small seating counter in the back for about 10-12 people. We had 10 pieces of fish with 2 rolls. The fish of the day was mackeral and fluke. Some of my favorites were the torched sable fish and scallop. Service was great and the staff were friendly.“
“My friends treated me and my wife to dinner here as an engagement present. We all had a wonderful time and thought the food was top notch. On top of the fresh fish and impeccable presentations, I really appreciated that Don was so accommodating to dietary restrictions. Many restaurants serving omakase are unwilling to make changes. I would absolutely come back again and recommend this to anyone.“
“Good sushi, good place, good people. They have a very cute decoration and a kid-friendly menu, too. One of the best sushi places in North Jersey.Kid-friendliness: The choo choo train that carries the plates is a big attraction for kids. The owners communicate so well with kids. They make cotton candy in front of kids and with them. And they have many options for picky kids. My 7 year-old daughter loved everything about this place.“
“Yesterday was our first visit to the Osaka Sushi Restaurant, today is our second visit. We came to the Osaka Sushi restaurant from Las Vegas to New Jersey on a trip. Their business is very good, We saw a lot of peoples eating sushi here when we be there. the owner of a warm reception for us, we came for the first time, gave us a lot of good recommendations, food is very fresh. The service is very good, the atmosphere is very good, we see someone's birthday, we are very happy. We'll be back!“
“The staff is super friendly, and the food is amazing! Since I moved to the area I cannot stop ordering from this place (and I have tried allllll the local poke spots when I am saying this)! They are quite literally the best poke around! And their bubble tea is great too! Highly “

“This is our second time here. We thought about it all week and had to come back here. We don't always repeat restaurants because there are so many try, but we will definitely keep coming back. We got the crispy rice with tuna, the Hakkaido roll, the chase roll, and the passion roll (wow). This is by far one of our favorite restaurants. The staff are great too.“
“1. Fish quality is good. Tuna could be better at least the day I went.2. Signature Futomaki is my pick on this place.3. Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) is ok, but I would not order this again. Cooked well but not real Japanese style.4. It’s BYOB so make sure to bring your favorite sake.5. Friday evening is busy so go early if you plan being there.“
“First time at Sushi Story - and it is amazing! I went in for lunch and asked the server for recommendations. After my ginger salad, she brought me Tuna Tataki, which was perfectly prepared and had a touch of smokiness. I couldn’t decide between Seared Salmon Sushi or the River Roll, so I ordered both. It was the best decision ever! The salmon was freshly prepared and melted in my mouth. The Spicy Tuna was delicious and had just a touch of kick, which complimented the richness of the fish. All dishes were fresh, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly, helpful, and courteous, by both the server and the chef, who checked on my satisfaction with the meal. The restaurant is small, with seven tables, and has a bustling take-out service. This is one place not to miss!Kid-friendliness: Welcoming to all agesWheelchair accessibility: Small facility, but easy access for people with limited mobility.“
“I love Anytime because the vibe is a bit more fancier than other regular pochas you would go to in Fort Lee or Palisades Park.The servers are always nice and attentive.The food is top notch.If you order the honey makgeolli (rice wine) the servers will slice up real honey and put it in your glass.“

“The 4.8 rating after 185 reviews made me question this restaurant. How could they have that high of a rating with such a large sample size. After going there I’m on the hunt to find those individuals that made this score not a perfect 5. Service was exceptional (especially when considering the normal pricing). Sushi quality was the best I’ve ever had in every food I ate (miso soup wasn’t too salty). Complimentary miso and a roll from the chef. There is not a single thing I could complain about and I look forward to giving this establishment as much business as possible.“
“Takeda is a phenomenal sushiya on the UWS. It's a 8 person counter serving an Omakase course of around 17 dishes. The Omakase is a mixture of nigiri, sashimi, and cooked dishes. The meal last around 2.5 hours and is $250 per person.Our favorite dishes were;Lobster - this was probably the best lobster I've ever had. Favorite dish of the omakase.Sardine - sardine usually isn't my favorite piece of sushi but the way Takeda does it is excellent.Golden Eye Snapper - what we enjoyed about Takeda was they don't serve the usual roundup of fish. Never had golden eye snapper and it was delicious. Vegetable Tempura - a fried tempura ball of vegetables, simple but great.Chu Toro - excellent.Striped jack - excellent.The service was top notch, our waitress explained each piece of fish to us and was very attentive. Highly recommend Takeda if you're looking for top level sushi.“
“The staff were extremely accommodating and super sweet. And omg the food was to die for. So fresh and portions were amazing and the hand rolls and crispy sushi were also really good. Please try it out if you’re looking for an amazing experience! The best sushi in town!“
“If you're a sushi/special roll lover, you must give this place a try. The food decoration is so beautiful that just looking at it is a pleasure, and it melts in your mouth before you even take a bite. You can feel how sincerely the chef made it. I highly recommend it for any occasion, from small group gatherings to large parties!“
“A cute mom-and-pop roll house located in the main downtown area of Ridgefield Park. It is a true hidden gem for takeout and delivery! The owners here are very friendly and welcoming, offering heartfelt hospitality with every visit. With various roll options to choose from (my favorite/recommendation is Chloe roll, Volcano roll, Fire Fight roll, Dragon roll), they offer convenient service, and amazingly tasty beverages such as bubble tea & iced tea to enjoy with the food. Highly recommended for anyone looking to grab a quick bite or enjoy a fancy dinner :)“
“Amazing poke bowl!! So so good! I’ve been going here for a little over a year. They have a lot of options, they’re super quick and clean!! The poke bowls taste fresh and delicious, I order brown rice with the salmon and they give good portions for a good price!Dietary restrictions: They offer variations of every product and it is build your own.“
“I would highly recommend anyone looking for a restaurant with delicious food and lively atmosphere.We recently dined at Jugemu that exudes a cozy and friendly atmosphere. The menu offered a delightful array of delicious Japanese dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors. I recommend to try fresh oysters here. It was creamy in texture and had an fresh splash of sea flavor that I can only describe as “yummy.” The sushi rolls, adorned with inventive combinations, marry tradition with innovation, leaving an indelible impression. What truly stood out was the impeccable service – attentive and friendly staff added to the overall positive experience. Highly recommend for a delightful Japanese culinary journey!“
“I have never had a better pork Katsu in my life! My friend offered to take me here and I had no idea what a treat this was. I had to take one home for my son. When I say the pork was still crispy when I got home 20mins later! Perfection and can't wait to go back!“
“Easily the best sushi experience I’ve ever had and I will be returning. Servers were so attentive and also knowledgeable about everything I was being served. Great portions, flavors and everything was as fresh as can be. Came for lunch and will be returning for dinner with a bigger party.“
“My partner and I go here as a regular. The shrimp spring rolls with the sauce is great. The inside service is always good. There music and conversation but usually not overly loud. The take out has been late on occasions which means more than an hour in this case. Other wise love it.“
“This family owned restaurant is the best in town. Food is always fresh and amazing. Prices are great and the chef is always making sure his dishes look like a 5 ⭐️ restaurant.Every time I am able I visit them even though I am a bit far away.“
“The BEST restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ! Exceptional service from Xiao. She is amazing and have come back 3x to enjoy the food & see her again. The Seafood Teriyaki Combo is fantastic. They know what they’re doing here & they do a great job of it. Wish I could leave more stars ⭐️“
“Daysi was the perfect host. She was very attentive and friendly. This was my first visit to Bless up and it was a great experience. Food is good, atmosphere is chill and the happy hour hits every time. I'm going to post my review on tiktokDietary restrictions: Seafood allergies“
“Very appreciative of having the owner serve us and at the same time make the roll for us. Top notch service and outstanding rolls! The ambiance of the place is so calm and soothing! Love the piano medleys that were playing. Owner was very observant of his customers and took notice of us I guess and brought us a surprise with the rolls we ordered and he made. Such a kind gesture! It was also me and my SOs anniversary the day before so it was just fitting! Great sushi spot - hidden gem! Great portions with the right prices! It’s our second visit and glad we came back. Definitely check the place out and we’ll definitely be back again!Parking: Park by the train station“

We will be back!!!“
“We are local but never stopped in before. My wife and I, one daughter and her fiance came in during the week between Christmas and New Years. No one was sitting down but it was a little early and there was a lot of take out order activity the entire time we were there.Three of us ordered a total of 8 different rolls and some rice/noodles for my wife . I has the Crunchy Tempura Shrimp roll and the Cream Cheese roll with crab and I would order both again. Everyone enjoyed their selections and other then the noodles and rice, our plates were clean. My wife took what remained for her noodles and rice home as leftovers. We also ordered the Thai Donut to share for desert, based on other reviewers suggestions, and it was really good.Towards the end of our meal, another 2 groups came in and sat down so we weren't the only ones sitting down to eat. We will come back for sure to get items we liked and try out some others.“
“Service - 3.5 wasn't very tentative Atmosphere - 3.5 way too loud Food - 4.5 i tried $60 omakase ku and it was excellent. I've been to really expensive omakase places and this was pretty up there. My husband had "trust me" and it just looked like regular sashimi. Their sushi was pretty decent. I would definitely come back for omakase. Byob!“
“I went to this place with my toddler today. Place was very clean and welcoming. Loved the food neat and fresh! My toddler loved udon and shrimp tempura roll. there is various choices for kids too. Not too salty nor sweet. The owner and the server was so nice to both of us and very friendly. Would definitely visit again!“

“I recently dined at Hawaiian Japanese Cuisine in Hastings-on-Hudson, and it was an absolute treat! From the moment I stepped in, the warm welcome from the owner set the tone for a truly delightful dining experience. The sushi was a standout, crafted authentically and to perfection, reflecting the genuine artistry and passion behind each dish. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, showcasing the high-quality ingredients and culinary skill.Not only was the food excellent, but it was also reasonably priced, offering great value for such top-notch cuisine. The service was impeccable, attentive without being intrusive, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable meal from start to finish.I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Japanese dining experience with a friendly touch. It's a gem that truly stands out, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!“
“Very nice sushi place. The taste is great, the quality and the atmosphere of the place is spot on. I tried it once on a whim and now it's my go-to sushi spot. If you love sushi, love trying some new menu items, and want a new go-to spot: I highly recommend this sushi restaurant.“
“My husband is on a Renal Diet and depressed because of it. We come to Kura, Fort Lee weekly. He can eat like he used to and thanks to the Sashimi options stay in target. It’s fun. And even if our adult daughter’s @empirestateofmurray can not come we bring g back prize balls. It’s a win-win. Shout out to Rossana!“
“Got my bowl built by employee named Ewa. It was my first time here and I had no idea what was good there but Ewa was really nice and informative when she was building my bowl. Overall the bowl was really good and I would go back here again to have another bowl“
“Attentive service, Bottles of Sake & a mixed array of sushi! The first sushi restaurant that i been to serves Toro.Vegetarian options: They have vegetablesParking: Street parking and a parking lot across the streetKid-friendliness: It’s a kid friendly restaurant“
“Food 10/10Crazy that their omakase set for takeout is only 60 dollars and the fish is flown in from Totsuya fish market. Incredibly generous servings and the quality of the fish is superb. I was in actual shock when I took the first bite. The rice is alright, but the star of the show is always the fish so it doesn’t really matter. So impressed by their supreme sushi and sashimi set. Better than some omakase spots in manhattan. So delicious and so close to home too I can’t wait to return.“
“We really like Masago! We've been ordering their lunch specials for about a year, and the food has always been fresh and consistent with reasonable pricing for the 3 roll combo. We look forward to it every week. Once you order from them on the phone, you can leave your food and payment preferences on file, so calling them and re-ordering is super quick. Delivery during lunch time is usually within 30 minutes, and they will leave the food on your porch if you ask.“
“If I have to choose one Korean sushi/sashimi restaurant in NJ, then Bada Story Englewood Cliffs is the one. The staff are extremely well trained. The back of house staff knows a thing or two about culinary excellence. And the owner/executive chef has put together an awesome items in the menu.Bada Story’s dinner feast boasts the most extensive assortment of appetizing sashimi in the tristate area. No, it does not come cheap. But the quality of fish they bring out totally justifies the pricing. Even the side dishes (aka tskedashi) is consisted of noteworthy seafood items. Dessert - the seafood soup - is the only thing that’s disappointing, but you are probably 120% over your capacity by the time you get the soup. By the way, isn’t it funny that Koreans eat a bowl of rice and seafood soup for their dessert?Their lunch special is outstanding as well. Whenever I crave sashimi, but I don’t want to spend $250 for a meal, I go to Bada Story for their lunch special. Nicely priced, but not compromised in quality.When the warm drinking water is exceptionally tasty (aka seung-nyeung) you know you are at a well operated restaurant. Highly recommended.“
“Joy and her husband have an incredible restaurant and provided excellent service tonight. I have had sushi in many big cities across the country and have never had sushi this good nor had food presented in such a beautiful way! Go dine in, you won’t regret it!“
“Lower the Sinatra music, Mike, play Kitaro instead!Also, pls add sukiyaki to the kitchen dishes. There is only one place in Hartsdale that offers a mediocre version, sadly...Food here is great, so is service. Any of the maki rolls, nigiri, etc., can't go wrong. The fish tank alone is worth the visit!“
“Oh. Em. Gee. I'm a sushi lover & I honestly feel like I never really had sushi until dining here. This is an experience on a whole other level. Quality trumps quantity here & it's worth every penny. Every bite melted in my mouth. Ambiance: A+. Service: A+. Food: A++“

“Located in Fort Lee, this is a small sushi restaurant mostly concentrated on takeouts rather than dine in. One must keep a close eye on the place as people can easily zoom past this location without realising.The service was pretty quick and the staff is friendly. The restaurant doesn't have much ambiance as I mentioned they are mostly a takeout place. I ordered a Bergenline roll, which is spicy tuna, rice roll, avocado, and prawn tempura. The sushi was really good and the wasabi too wasn't as spicy as I was expecting it to be.Overall a great local place to grab sushi and these people have reopened after a year, I would really request fellow readers to support this local business and help them grow!“
“We had a wonderful Omakase experience with Chef Masa. He did surprise us with foods that were entirely new to us (like Sea Urchins). All the fish served were sourced from Japan and tasted like nothing we had before. The place was really hard to find because it was late evening and their front entrance is on a by-lane next to the back entrance of Kiky Jewelers.“
“For anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and delicious food this is place to go. First of all, the customer service is a unique experience. Instead of the staff checking up at random moments, they provide a button allowing you to call for assistance. As for the food, it was extremely tasteful and well balanced. We had wide variety of food including the shrimp tempura roll, seared beef roll, chicken kaarage, and the shrimp tempura undon soup. It was all delicious and came out at a good space. To anyone looking for a perfect anniversary spot, I highly recommend Kumade.“
“Was here on a Thursday for lunch and it was good. Their seared salmon appetizer was good. They torched it and added a smokey flavor to it which was great for me since I like the smokey flavor. The ramen was spicy but good and the Domodachi Lunch set was abundant and good. Parking wasn't bad for a weekday and service was prompt.“
“This mom-and-pop hole in the wall sushi joint isn't aiming for Nobu, and that's part of its charm. With top-notch fish quality and surprisingly generous portion sizes, it's a unique experience. The large order, a feast for 5-6 adults, comes with an abundance of ginger, enough to start your own sushi joint.A friendly suggestion: pre-mixing the spicy tuna and salmon with their sauce, seasoned with Ichimi togarashi, could add an extra layer of flavor. Run by a mom and pop, this place exudes potential. I'll be back, perhaps on a quieter day, excited to delve deeper into what this unpretentious spot has to offer.“
“This is a real gem! Sooo happy to find such a good restaurant. You should go to this place and will never be disappointed, but will be amazed. I ordered 3 rolls - Hot Jenny roll, Christmas roll, and Viki hand roll. I strongly recommend all of these three - the taste was eye-opening (even more delicious than I could imagine in my life!) and I can tell this restaurant uses very fresh ingredients as well as doesn't cheap out on ingredients at all. I could feel the owner's and chef's honesty, professionalism, and kindness from the food and the service. I'm so excited to visit here again with my friends soon! My teenage boy said he'd like to give 11 out of 10 LOL ?Parking: Parking lot is behind restaurant.“
“Incredible evening. The host and chef treated us like family. Every course was better than the last which seemed an impossible but wasn’t. Chef was attentive to each individual guest making sure we would enjoy every course. It is worth the drive ( we came 90 minutes ). Any meal with pyro gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me. Preparations I have never had before with the highest quality ingredients on the planet. Save up and get a reservation!“
“I love how intimate the atmosphere is. We sat at the sushi bar and had Omakase, it was spectacular. The sushi was fresh, our chef’s display was exquisite. The staff was attentive but not too much. The best Sushi I’ve had in the area. Will definitely be “
“I'd been coming here for years then stopped during covid. When I came back recently, the staff remembered me and was very friendly and thankful to see me. That's the kind of service that I prefer over the way too many new, overpriced fancy restaurants in town. It's low key, which I also prefer. The food is very good - my favorite is the mango tango roll.“
“My wife and I had a wonderful time on our first visit. The food was great, had the fried calamari for appetizers, the cajun fries are ?and seafood boil with hot Cajun seasoning was amazing. I'd definitely go back and recommend it to anyone who is looking for quality seafood.“
