“Great time at Miga. Glad I called ahead and made reservation for Saturday at 5:30 for group of seven. Small restaurant - busy - great food. Good service. Many other items to choose from but the sushi is what many go for. We all enjoyed our meals !“

“me and my boyfriend come here ALL the time. last night for valentine’s day, we made a reservation for 7:30, we knew they’d be pretty busy as a amazing hot spot, especially on a night like valentine’s day. we got our apps and drinks, but as 9:00 approached, we were still waiting for our food. we live about 20 mins from there and were getting kind of tired and decided to ask to have our food packaged to go. being that at that time, they were still extremely busy, nevermind the overflow of take out orders, the staff was absolutely incredible. we could see them rushing around, but making sure to attend each table! their hard work did not go unnoticed!!!!! we felt bad about having changed our order to go, if we had made our reservation for earlier, we definitely would’ve sat and stayed. a HUGE THANK YOU TO THE AMAZING STAFF AND KITCHEN!!!!! they packed our food to go, and 2 kitchen staff came and apologized for it taking so long, we which SO understood, and didn’t want them to feel bad at all!! when we got home, we had noticed that free of charge, they gave us another round of the appetizers we ordered, FOR FREE, and also threw in a free order of shrimp dumplings that we did not order!!! i didn’t want their kind actions to go unnoticed. we thank you so much for your kindness, and can’t wait to come back again soon!!!! this place is just the best!!! never disappointed!“

“Have been here many times for both hibachi and regular dining. Being a vegetarian, this is a fantastic option for friends who like sushi or meat, while there are many vegetarian options for myself, including the various rolls (avocado roll, sweet potato roll, etc.). The prices are extremely reasonable for what you get, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the desserts are unique and tasty. I've never had a bad meal here.Vegetarian options: So many options from miso soup to vegetarian rolls, to vegetarian fried rice, udon, tempura, and hibachi. And prices are extremely reasonable.“

“I'm a bit of a sushi snob coming from NYC where there are many excellent authentic Japanese cuisine establishments. I often get turned off when I go to Japanese restaurants, and I hear Chinese being spoken from the staff. There was even a sushi restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ, that went as far as to play Chinese music. I thought "what desecration"! Then, when the food isn't well prepared and not representative of the Japanese, it's such a disservice and embarrassment to both cultures.Well, Sushi Ya is run by Chinese staff. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the sashimi. It was fresh, tasty, and melted in my mouth. The presentation is decent. It would have been better if the wasabi was freshly grated and not the prepackaged concentrated kind. The accompanying salad and miso soup were simple and basic.I haven't tried the sushi with the rice nor the cooked foods. Either way, I applaud them for doing justice to the cuisine, at least with the freshness. Yes, I would definitely come back if I'm in the area again.“

“Don't let the outside fool you! The food here is TOP notch. The interior really took us by surprise, as it looks lively and new. My girlfriend and I ordered the spicy cucumber salad, hamachi, and million dollar roll. The spicy cucumber salad was fresh and a great way to start. The hamachi was really good, the fish was fresh and the skin was nice and crispy. The million dollar roll was really good. You can definitely tell quality ingredients were being used. Our service was prompt and the waitress was very kind. Having lived in parsippany for 3 years and this being our first time here, I wish I would've noticed this spot a bit sooner. We will definitely be back!“

“I recently visited Mizuki Asian Fusion and Hibachi Restaurant for a friend’s birthday celebration and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and tastefully decorated interior made us feel right at home. Despite it being a sophisticated dining spot, the restaurant was surprisingly family-friendly, a factor that significantly enhanced our evening.The pricing at Mizuki struck a perfect balance between affordability and quality. It’s not always easy to find a place that offers such value, especially with the flair and precision of Asian fusion and hibachi cuisine. Each dish we ordered was beautifully presented, bursting with flavors that paid homage to traditional Asian cuisine while introducing a unique, modern twist.What truly set Mizuki apart, however, was the attention and care the staff showed towards my 2-year-old daughter. Dining out with a toddler can be a challenge, but the staff at Mizuki went above and beyond to ensure she was entertained and comfortable throughout their captivating hibachi show. Their efforts to engage with her and include her in the experience without disrupting the service for others was remarkable and greatly appreciated.The hibachi chefs were not only masters of their craft but also brilliant entertainers, making our dining experience memorable with their skillful cooking and lively performances. Their ability to captivate the audience, regardless of age, added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal.“

“From what I shared last time (food being so delicious) very disspointed now. Had to throw everything in the garbage today - sushi rolls (spicy tuna and spicy salmon) did not smell fresh at all, looked very different. Ramen soup was disguisting. We used to love this place, truly loved. But last couple of times food seems not the same. Also Doordash took two hours to deliver instead of promised 45 min- have a feeling they were looking for fresh fish and could not find it - so result was obvious. If a manager reads this message would be nice to talk. Otherwise goodbye Blufin“

“absolutely crazy. i got the sweet & sour chicken and the white rice (very basic i know) and it was insane. absolutely devoured. the sweet & sour sauce is the best i've ever had. i love the people that work here and i love the food even more“

“I come here almost every day I work in the mall, which is once or twice a weekend. The price can't be beat compared to the rest of the food court. You'll pay a half and get better, handmade food. It's all made to order, I believe. I feel like I'm eating healthier than the other options in the food court. And their spicy mayo can't be beat!! It's the most delicious sushi I've ever had.“

“My first visit to Sogo proved to be a delightful experience. Our server, Alisa, was exceptional—her sweetness, attentiveness, and vibrant personality truly enhanced our dining experience.As for the culinary delights, the vegetarian selections were plentiful and artfully presented. The Panna water, served in a large bottle, offered a refreshing rather than plain old chlorine water. Our choices included the adadashi tofu, a savory veg fried rice enriched with tofu, a zesty Pad Thai accompanied by tofu, a spicy assortment of mixed vegetable sushi, and a comforting bowl of miso soup.The prospect of returning to Sogo is a must; I was thoroughly charmed by the entire experience. Moreover, the value for money was extraordinary. Love it ?Vegetarian options: Lot of vegetarian option and some stuff can be tailored for vegetarians. Very happy with the choices“

“Nice spot for a Chinese food or sushi. Convenient to the local hotel and all the shops. Nice cozy indoor seating and good service. Food was flavorful. The fried dumplings and beef on a stick were great appetizers. The tangerine beef was sweet and spicy delicious.“
