“This omakase spot does a well thought out 14 course that includes everything - from apps to nigiri to desserts at an affordable price. What I really enjoyed about Sushi Yolo compared to other omakase spots in this price range is how it’s nicely paced with your entire meal spanning 1.5 hours (other spots are usually churning out guests within 1 hour).As I said before, all the dishes were so well thought out and the pieces that were presented were so beautiful. My absolute favorite was their steamed egg topped with ikura and uni - it was so warm, smooth, and custard-y with the ikura and uni providing the perfect umami balance.As expected, service was amazing and Alex, the host, was so thoughtful to offer me tea throughout my meal as I was the only one in my party who was not partaking in sake.Highly recommend for a date night or a fun outing with a group of friends.“
“A delightful little yakitori restaurant. It was great we didn’t smell like the food when we left since we had regular seating. It would be cool to watch them cook but we had kids with us. It’s great that you can tell them you’re not into weird pieces like hearts and organs and they’ll substitute. The different pieces, though mostly chicken, all had different tastes. We brought our kids that can’t finish an entire omakase. We thought we could get a la carte for them but they won’t let you order just a la carte despite the two adults ordering a la carte. We enjoyed our meal here.“
“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.“
“TL;DR: It was FIRE!!!This was by far the most amazing experience I have ever had. From the friendliest Chefs to the amazing flavorful melt in your mouth courses . Chef Ben and Chef Kong were very polite and educated us on what we were eating and had some lovely jokes. It was great to see everything prepared right in front of you and fresh. The pace of when the courses came out was perfect and not rushed at all. The place is small but understandable why they do the reservations the way they do it. I highly recommend going here!“
“This sushi restaurant left a deep impression on me. Their sushi is delicious and soft and glutinous, which gives me an endless aftertaste. At the same time, their production process is excellent, and each sushi is carefully made and matched, will come back for sure.“
“The restaurant is cozy, so expect to be close to others while eating. Their sushi, both raw and cooked, is really good, and if you see lobster tail on the menu, it's a must-have. I've ordered from here many times and the quality is always top-notch, making it a favorite spot of mine in the city. Prices are reasonable for the quality you get. The chirashi lunch was a great choice, with fresh fish and good rice.“
“Simply superb. The fish and shellfish are pristine. The chefs are skilled and approachable. The servers are helpful and gracious. While not “inexpensive,” I believe it’s a value for what is delivered. I’ve been three times—just last night for the first time, I’m sorry to say, since COVID—and each time was exquisite. Beyond highly recommended. A treasure.“
“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 “
“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.“
“This restaurant opened a couple weeks ago, right next to the Baccarat Hotel ground floor! I have tried many Omakase places, but the chef Anthony Inn served dishes I have never tried. Presentation, Balanced flavor, Texture, Aroma, Execution, all there! Taru has everything from Omakase, Cooked Dishes, and Fantastic Dessert Selections. The Pastry Chef Natsume Aoi is perfection! Her deserts are must try! Also, there's a beautiful bar at the front with a great selection of cocktails, wine, sake, and scotch! The staff is attentive, and I loved the real bonsai tree in the center. I would highly recommend it, so definitely try it!“

“i was blown away by the attention to detail and mastery/execution of every single dish that came out from their omakase. i didn’t take pictures of every piece of sushi that came out but i will simply say that the chef has taken their time to understand the complex flavor profiles of each fish and carefully paired them with the perfect sauces/marinade to best complement their nuanced flavors. every single item served to me that night was delicious and carefully/methodically crafted to delight all the senses.“

“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.“
“This is my first time to dine in Sugarfish. I walked in around 5 pm as they did not take reservation. I was told that I needed to wait for an hour. It turned out the sushi and sashimi were worth waiting for. I made my own combination to select 6 kinds of nigiri (most from limited availability), i.e., Kama Toro, Pink Lobster, Albacore Belly, Ankimo (monkfish liver), Shima Aji, Hokkaido Sea Scallops, and one hand roll of baby scallops. With Nozawa super dry sake, I had a blast!“
“This place was so cozy and lovely, with such tasty food and delightful service! It was so kind of the owner to give us so many free samples with our food! We ordered the (very well priced) sushi combos, which were two special rolls with miso soup (and I got a boba and some kani salad) and it was delicious. The owner also gave us a pot of green tea, veggie gyoza, the house salad, and some blueberries at the end. She came over often to ask how we were doing. We ended up with leftovers because there was so much food. It was also a very cute atmosphere with doodles from the customers all over the walls. I would definitely come back!Vegetarian options: There seemed to be at least one vegetarian option in all the sections.Parking: It was relatively quiet when we went so the lot might fill up if there are more customers but I had no problems.Kid-friendliness: There were markers, notepads and a sheet to doodle on, if any customers came with kids. I didn’t but I doodled anyway lol.“
“If your looking for a authentic and cute atmosphere go to shinjuku ramen it has exceptional food. The staff is welcoming and professional.For starters the gyoza was yummy, perfectly prepared but the mains were exceptional, the shoyu king ramen was the best ramen we ever had and the eel and rice dish was also really good in flavor and the eel was done perfectly also the miso king ramen was very flavorful ,the miso flavor was exquisite . If your looking for a delicious place to eat around 60th and 5th you should definitely go to shinjuku ramen.Beware ,other ramens will be inferior after you have theirs.“
“I always say to people that I bring here that they serve flavor bombs that explode in your mouth. This place is a true experience. Atmosphere and service are always top notch and the food never disappoints. They serve non-vegan and vegan items so it is a great place to go with a mixed dietary restriction group. They can even take care of Gluten Free people as well. Would give this place 6 stars if I could.Vegetarian options: They offer vegan options on their menuDietary restrictions: Gluten Free options“
“Food is delicious, greeting from the host station was non existent, server, Brian, was attentive and delivered hot food quickly.The pork chashu in the Tonkatsu ramen was not good (tough, off-putting flavor) despite having some of the best broth I've had.Vegetable gyoza were fantastic!Recommended.“
“In the area for work stopped by for a late lunch and compared to the ramen places where I live this place makes me want to move the karaage was the second best I've ever had and the ramen was delightful expecially the egg which I personally don't eat at most places but happy i did here.“
“Have you ever wanted food that takes you back ‘home’? That brings back wonderful memories and tastes that only mom could make? Well, that’s what you will experience at Japino. The best of both worlds - Filipino and Japanese cuisine. You see, the owner, Kim, brings both worlds together in her cooking because of her background.My daughter ordered Udon, my wife, Yakisoba, and I ordered Pork Adobo over rice. Wow!!! And although her Pinakbet had run out by the time we arrived, Kim brought out what she had reserved for herself for me to have some! From the very first bite, we were all speechless. We just had to relish in the delicious flavors that we were tasting! We were each so impressed that we had to share with each other our dishes.And Kim makes you feel at home, treating you like she was mom for our time there. No precooked meals. She cooks it right then and there. Wow, just thinking about our whole experience makes me want to go back for more. Unfortunately, we came from PA 2 hours away, but if we happen to be in the Fair Lawn, NJ area, you can be sure we will be swinging by for Kim’s home cooked food again! We even ordered some more food to bring it back with us to PA. ?If you live nearby, be sure to try Kim’s awesome dishes and wonderful hospitality. You will not regret it. Why such a long review? Because I was so amazed by our complete experience, I wanted to hug Kim for a wonderful time. She said instead of a hug, she asked for a wonderful review. I hope this review makes her feel like she got an appreciative hug. And I hope this makes you want to try Japino. Please tell Kim we sent you?“
“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!“
“Could not have been a better experience. Victor (I believe his name is) greeeted is and wished us a Happy Holiday. We ordered the Braised Pork Belly Donburi and the Ebi Tama Donburi and absolutely loved both of them. The pork belly was tender and succulent, a wonderful combo with the rice and greens. The Ebi Taka was shrimp tempura along with egg and rice. Both of the portions were large! I had the chocolate boba. a perfect balance to the saltier entree. We'll be back!“
“Went for a date night and was very glad that I made it!! The food came out slowly but that allowed me and my partner to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed.We got the market oysters the salmon roe was such a nice addition and added a new and exciting dynamic to typicalOysters. We also got the fried oysters and it was also delicious. Tebasaki Nagoya Miso was flavorful and the chicken was perfectly crisp. The short ribs was so damn tender and was seasoned with a light but perfect hand. We ended with the matcha cheesecake was a light and perfect end to the meal. I would’ve liked the matcha flavor to be a tad bit more noticeable but it was still wonderful.We didn’t byob and only ordered tea for drinks.Mostly I just want to highlight that all that food cost $130 which is fairly decent for two people two apps, a small plate, and two mains.“
“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.“

“Blue Ribbon is located inside a hotel through an almost secret door. Warm wood interior throughout. Stand out dishes include Cauliflower popcorn, Wagyu Gyoza, Crispy Rice Tuna, Oxtail Fried Rice. The place is total slammed even on a mundane Thursday night.“
“It's been years since I've been to this place and I must say that the quality of the sushi, the extra large rolls, and most importantly, the taste makes this place stand out among the other sushi places in the area. Owners are friendly and personable and the fish is always fresh. If you haven't been to this place in a while, I absolutely recommend giving it another try.“
“What can I say. So good. Service / atmosphere /food. We ordered the Chef’s Roll, Salmon Skin, the Caterpillar and Pink Lady. They were all good but my favorite was the Chef’s Roll.The only critic I can add is that seating could be more comfortable. But otherwise just great food.“
“Awesome Japanese fusion menu !! My favorite is the Eel bowl!! My friends love the chicken and pumpkin dishes!! The introduction of the Bento Boxes has been a fan favorite because it has an entree with rice , veggies and dumplings!! The amazing and friendly owner,Ms Wanny Wong,works hard to keep customers happy !! The staff is wonderful ! The chef is amazing!! And it’s a BYOB .. so nice to enjoy a glass of wine or beer in this wonderful relaxing atmosphere!!“
“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 ⭐️“
“Bruh 1st I want to say that these Aunties and Uncles are very very polite and welcoming. I had found them on Yelp at 1st ordered 3 rice balls ?(spam/mayo, kani/mayo, tuna/mayo)and the chicken curry katsu. Awesome ? can’t even describe this food. I went again today and got Kani/Mayo rice ?, Katsu Sando (chicken) also they have these frozen ice cream type fish things ? shiny aomori and finally kimchi. The atmosphere to me and the way they treat their customers is beyond astonishing. Awesome food awesome service and a variety of other imported goodies. I highly recommend this shop ???“
“Finally found a Japanese restaurant where the don plates are not overly sweet or salty. I like the sukiyaki don and the shake ikura don. And my stomach always feels good after I eat here, meaning the food and ingredients are clean and prepared properly.“
“Update...we have now had lunch here as well. The food and service are both solid...I stopped by for a drink and was very impressed with both the service and decor of Kissaki. This establishment definitely has a high-end Japanese feel to it. While I haven't eaten here yet, my wife has with her girlfriends and loved the sushi and atmosphere as well. I'll definitely be back to try the sushi lunch special...“
“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.“
“Some of my family members love this restaurant so much and strongly recommend this one. My verdict is, "It's really great but a little bit over-priced. However, it's Manhattan, so I can't help but accept the higher price. I would like to explore other options with that price tag.“
“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!“
“An exquisite Japanese restaurant, underground, small but delicious, the seafood they had on the bar looked delicious, the sushi was very delicious and the rolls too, they brought us a very tasty misso soup and the shrimp tempura was good. I don't give it a 5 for the atmosphere because of the light, although reading the letter was difficult for us, without light we struggled more, but I would return without thinking about it.“
“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.“
“Outside of Tokyo and NYC, this is the best Omakase we have found in NJ. Flavors were amazing ( although not super authentic or traditional) everything was unbelievably high quality and super fresh. The blends of flavors were outstanding. A bit pricey ($150 for 18 pcs) but will definitely be adding it to our must go to places in “
“An impeccable dining experience. A week later, I am still thinking about it! I got the Seki special platter, and every piece was perfect despite the time I took to enjoy every bite. Rie was such a caring and knowledgeable server and suggested some great sakes and a shochu cocktail. It was truly an oasis of care in the chaos of Times Square!“
“I absolutely love this place! I've had sushi, rice bowls, yaki udon and soup from here and have never once been disappointed. Dining in, the service in incredibly fast with very nice servers and I swear my food is always burning hot after my drive home when ordering takeout. I highly recommend and cannot wait to order again soon!“
“Dining here was a wonderful experience. The rolls were delicious (the Jersey Roll was out of this world), the service was top tier, and the staff were so friendly. One of us left our phones behind by mistake. When we got back we were greeted warmly and even given two mochi ice cream desserts on the house. We will absolutely be returning.“
“We ordered the mizu, kiss of summer, Naruto, jade, and Verona and they were all so fresh and delicious. Lots of fish and lots of flavor. I do think the mango could be more ripe though. Tap water also wasn't my favorite but don't let that prevent you from getting this great sushi. Although we couldn't have any of the sauces that came with the rolls since they had gluten, they did have GF soy sauce which was great. The server didn't have much personality and we did have to reconfirm what sauces had gluten and which didn't and had to ask for a second GF soy sauce as well even though in the beginning we did say there are two of us. Pretty empty at 5pm on a Sunday and plenty of free parking (on Sundays) around the corner.“
“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.“
“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!“
“I went for dinner with my son who loves sushi. We immediately were greeted warmly by the staff and were made to feel comfortable.The sushi rolls, gyoza and soup we ordered were fantastic and the prices were very reasonable. We went for the all you can eat which was a very good value.In addition, they brought us a roll and appetizer on the house. Overall it was a great experience, and I look forward to coming back.“
“I went to Canadian Academy in Rokko Island which is located in Kobe, Japan. So I know a thing or two about authentic Japanese food from Kansai. This place is our go-to place for lunch in Hell’s Kitchen. Their lunch special comes with a salad, soup, and the entree. It will definitely fill you up. Fantastic food, ambiance, and staff! They also have the nicest outdoor seating in all of Mid-town. Highly recommended for anyone that wants to experience real Japanese food and not just sushi. Now that I’ve had everything on their lunch menu, can’t wait to take my family back for dinner!“
“Wabi Sabi does best what most people say they do: sushi. Their restaurant is decorated with plaques for best sushi, best sashimi, and even the best restaurant in Bloomfield.Having tried their Godzilla Roll, I'm inclined to agree. Their entire menu of chef's specials is filled with both familiar and unique rolls. The Godzilla Roll immediately stood out with an assortment of fish, including deep-fried tuna. It was a great mouthful and exceptional taste.The Dirty Roll was also quite good. Lots of elements complimenting each other. I think for some folks, there may be too much going on, and the flavors can be lost, but I appreciated how everything came together. Very yummy.I was drawn to the presentation of their grilled squid, but the taste didn't wow me as much. A simple salt and pepper squid served with soy sauce. Good portion, and not bad, but I think I'll stick with the sushi at Wabi Sabi.I always appreciate an attentive staff, but at some point, it started to feel like I had 3 people at my table and not just the 2 lol...Overall, I enjoyed my visit. One of our servers also shared their insight into the baby yellowtail sushi that we ordered, in comparison to regular yellowtail sushi, which I appreciated. Thanks for the food!“
“I always get sushi from this place (take out/delivery), everything is reasonably priced, they are pretty generous with portion sizes, everything is usually fresh.If you want to get Japanese food , then i definitely recommend this place .Also want to mention that workers/costumer servise is nice. They are respectfully and patient.“
