“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 “
“An absolutely amazing experience. Every piece of sushi was meticulously prepared and so so delicious. Your mouth will go on a journey that will leave your taste buds unable to appreciate any other piece of sushi. This place is amazing and we'll definitely be back.“
“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.“
“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!“
“Our experience at NR, was mostly positive. The Japanese fried chicken appetizer left us underwhelmed, lacking that special touch. However, the chicken soup curry stole the show with its amazing taste and generous portion size, making it a preferable choice over the ramen.Speaking of ramen, while it wasn't bad, it didn't quite justify making a special trip here for it. There are other spots in the city that excel in ramen. On the bright side, the service was excellent, and the ambiance had a charming speakeasy vibe, evoking the essence of old NYC.Overall, NR is a great spot to visit with a date or friends, offering a delightful experience with standout dishes like the chicken soup curry. However, if you're solely craving ramen, you might find better options elsewhere in the city.“
“I love omakase. I love not having to decide what to eat. This place has multiple locations apparently and opened up near the end of last year. It looked good and I'd been wanting to try it for a while. I'm glad I got the chance. It's a small-ish place. You can either sit at the bar or a table. We sat at the bar and these 2 girls next to us were super loud the whole time. I got the green tea sake, which actually taste like straight green tea and I loved it. I don't remember the name of it. The rest of the courses were pretty standard: uni, sea bream, tuna, wagyu beef, and there was a wagyu beef nigiri but I forgot to take a picture of it. The night ended with this adorable looking dessert which was wafer cookie with ice cream in it. Really nice restaurant, very nice service, not too pricey, and their sake list is pretty extensive. I would go back just for that green tea one.“
“This place is so charming and welcoming. The Tabata Ramen, Gyoza, and Duck Scallion skewers are delicious. I am looking forward to exploring this authentic menu. Excellent vibe with gracious service and hospitality. Thank you Yuki ?? hidden gem on the UES ?“
“Server Xin from Sushi Gama has set a high standard for restaurants in the East Side area! Our server, Xin, was the best part of our experience. Xin displayed wonderful customer service and is by far the best server we've ever encountered. A big shout-out to Xin! He was a wonderful waiter because he provided amazing service and was very attentive. He kept changing out any dirty plates without us even having to ask. We would definitely come back for him!“
“Might be some of the best sushi I've ever had. Nori perfectly toasted, rice perfect and the fillings on each hand roll was *chef's kiss. What a great way to get a little nibble of something amazing without having to commit to an entire omakase menu. Wish I could give it 10 stars“
“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.“
“Searched the web looking for oyster and came across this place! I came as a solo during happy hour & sat at the bar … oysters were 1.75$ , clean, fresh and yummyDrink was pretty pricey (17$) but definitely worth the try, the aroma and craft of the drink was appreciated. I had “the smoke”.Also tried the shrimp bun , soooo soft it almost melted in my mouth ! Food was AMAZING! I would visit again!“
“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.“
“Nestled in NYC's Upper East Side, Me Jin Ramen delivered authentic Japanese flavors. The cozy ambiance and welcoming staff set the stage for a memorable dining experience. I had the Meijin Miso Ramen and ate the whole thing. The broth, simmered to perfection, harmonizes with the chewy, house-made noodles and exquisite toppings like tender beef, bean sprouts, green onions and sweet corn. As a local, I treasure Meijin Ramen for its consistently exceptional quality and comforting atmosphere. For a taste of Japan in the heart of NYC, Meijin Ramen is an absolute must-visit.“
“Hand rolls here are pretty good! Portions are small but I definitely recommend giving it a try here! My favorite handrolls were the spicy tuna and the avocado salmon. The seared prime beef and the A5 Wagyu were also to die for! Every bite melts in your mouth! The spicy tuna crispy rice was ok. The rice was not crispy enough. There was 4 pieces for $12. The salmon carpaccio was really good! Love the citrus sauce that came with this dish. There was 5 slices of salmon for $16. So it was a bit overpriced. Veggie udon was really good and flavorful! Really hit the spot on a cold rainy day! Parking is a bit difficult but that's the norm in Fort Lee. Overall, fish was pretty fresh but overpriced for the portions.“
“The service attitude is very good. She kept asking us if it suits our taste. I think it is very considerate. The lady has a very good service attitude. She helped us take photos and gave guidance. The food is delicious. I recommend the Pad Thai the most.“
“pre-made poke was much better as bowl is wider than custom pick 3, which is narrow bowl.As others suggested, with such bowl, all the sauces remain on top and you end up eating rice on tbe bottom without the sauce. ?Bubble tea is so so, don't have hugh expectations as this is not a Boba place.Vegetarian options: tofu“
“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!“
“Nice mellow atmosphere, excellent polite service, had a hankering for so I stopped in and had shrimp Ramen. In a miso type broth, very flavorful, plenty of shrimp and surimi type stuff. Egg was just poached in the broth. They gave me a free appetizer of , I think, white fish tempura which was amazing, great sauce on it. Would go back again, probably would not get the ramen, though good, I have had better.“
“Upon arriving on March 14, 2024 at 6:45pm, I was 0kindly greeted by two very polite and courteous servers. The food was exceptional and so was the service. I will be going back and bringing others with me. I so appreciated the hospitality. KUDO! ❤️ ?Vegetarian options: Great meal with sesame string beans.“
“My daughters and I have found our favorite sushi spot. We absolutely love it! The atmosphere is low-key and has an amazing vibe. The music sets a great tone, making the overall atmosphere just perfect. Even though I highly recommend this place, I hesitate to do so because I want to keep it as our little secret. I don't want it to become overcrowded. I know it might sound shady, but this sushi spot serves the best sushi I have ever tasted, and my daughters feel the same way.“
“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...“
“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.“
“Had omakase for my birthday with my wife recently and I was can 1000% say it was the best meal I have ever eaten in my 44 years. I spent 25 years in high end seafood, (wholesale, retail, private chef, and catering) and was blown away by the quality of the fish! The chef was masterful as he balanced every single course (in had the 16) to perfection. He was incredibly skilled and a wonderful artist. The selection of fish from Japan was amazing. He explained every course as he served us. This place is a gem. I have eaten at just about every single sushi restaurant around and on see no reason to go anywhere else anymore. The place is clean and beautiful, the owner and staff were friendly and very interactive. The preparation and care that went into everyone was second to none. If you enjoy the finest sushi, please don't hesitate and go! And the only way to go is omakase“
“Authentic Japanese grilled meats!! Very tasty with their different cuts and the meats come with juicy tenderness. The flame is what makes the extra grill taste to the meats! Desserts like the s'mores roasting over open flame is just so much fun with kids! Highly recommend this Japanese Grill! The service was superb with their staffs! Ambiance is great too with the seating arrangements.“
“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!“
“Extremely delicious food , i tried thepork bao buns- 9/10gyoza w the spicy mayo- 10/10takoyaki- 10/10we also got ramen bowls , so authentically good , the flavor was to die for on a cold day like today! they actually take their time to bring the food out ( not alot of wait time dw ) the service felt family owned , they were super sweet & attended to us w ease. overall no complaints , cozy , affordable & great atmosphere , thank you!!“
“Super tasty batten ramen, I like it and the appetizers are delicious, it’s funny that they have Manga for foreigners since we don’t know the language! (There should be something for all languages.?) But the food is very delicious, I faithfully recommend it..“
“Absolutely love this place, my boyfriend and I wanted sushi and we found this place on google, we went there for dinner one night and we have been back to it since then. Amazing fresh and delicious food, and most importantly the service is beyond amazing, they greet you with such kindness and are very attentive of you.“
“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.“
“My favourite restaurant in NYC! The owner is an amazing chef and warm host who will immediately make you feel welcome. The restaurant has a unique and friendly ambiance with music and cute decor. The ramen, curry udon, onigiri, maze gohan, and matcha cheesecake are delicious!“
“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++“
“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!“
“****** Rarely ever drop a six star review, but Gangnam Aligatto definitely deserves it.The spicy pork ribs I had were astonishingly good, and the staff here are some of the best people in America. I needed help cutting some meat off my ribs (before I decided to just eat the entire plate with my hands) and the waitress was extremely nice. When I finished my food (there was a lot of high quality food) the staff smiled and gave me a nod of approval. The space is clean, and the neighborhood is beautiful.Thanks GA!“
“A dependable spot for a quick bite of lunch. Their employees are always efficient and courteous. I frequently pick up either a kimbab or one of their lunch specials - delicious and great value. They recently put some work into upgrading their decor as well, so if you want to sit down and watch some Korean language television while you eat, also a good option“
“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.“
“I've driven past this unassuming place hundreds of times and I've been dying to try it and I FINALLY DID! I was pleasantly surprised at how fantastic everything was, including the service--and they even gave us a sushi roll on the house. Thank you! I wanted to try something different so we ordered a Hudson roll that comes without rice and it was too good. One of the best. Also ordered a roll that had bulgogi beef on-top, wow so savory and delicious. I think it was called the Hinode something...I know that's not very helpful--and it seemed like they were trying it out on the menu because they asked how we liked it. We loved it. The place is cute and small, service is speedy and you can see the chefs preparing the rolls. I think this sushi spot sets itself apart from the rest and has its own unique twist that I appreciate. I am coming back here for sure.“
“Ban Ban Shop is a very cute fusion restaurant that opened across from Columbia University that serves a banh mi, baos, rice bowls, maki rolls, and grain bowls. 3.5 stars: I was very excited to try the banh mi here, but was lowkey disappointed. I ordered the Five Spice Roasted Pork Banh Mi. Don't get me wrong, the pork is very well seasoned/marinated and tender. Unfortunately, the baguette here is too soft, and the oil from the pork does seep through. The key to a good banh mi is the baguette - light on the inside with a thin and crispy crust. You'll know the baguette is good when the roof of your mouth gets destroyed by the time you finish it.“
“Accommodating service but the food- none of it was particularly good.Steak wasn’t the greatest cut or quality. Chicken was flavorful enough so perhaps that’s the star of the show. Tempura wasn’t comparable quality to other places in and around NyC at a similar price point. Ginger salad was decent, fried rice was mediocre.Unfortunately nothing impressed enough to have me want to come back but that’s as a non sushi eater so I leave 4 stars because this place seems highly rated by those who enjoy sushi and I don’t want to significantly impact their rating for something outside of their namesake.“
“Ein fantastisches 2 Sterne-Restaurant. Die Speisen waren von bester Qualität und geschmacklich ausgezeichnet. Alle Gerichte des Omakase waren ganz wunderbar. Die verköstigten Sake (Tatenokawa 18 und Kirinzan waren hervorragend) waren allesamt tadellos. Der Service war stets präsent, ohne aufdringlich zu sein, sehr freundlich, höflich und zuvorkommend.“
“I’ve ordered food for pickup a few times and was never disappointed. The fish is always fresh and the sushi is one of the best in the area without a doubt. It’s a small hole in the wall so it’s very easy to miss but PLEASE PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY!!“
“Everything you could ever want in a super awesome quality all you can eat sushi place. They’re always so nice and never get Khangri as we order in small batches but frequently, so we never waste food. You should too! They always seem happy to see us. Tip well. Sometimes I swear they must lose money on us.“
“Sexy chic vibe, tasty meal. We ordered the cucumber salad (great), ribs app (might skip next time), eel futomaki (highly recommend), salmon reg roll (skip), spicy tuna roll (skip), and the waygu fried rice (good but would try something else next time). Prices are def steep but good quality. Would return for a date night or drinks and light bite.“
“I ordered lunch takeout and it was great! The Chirashi Regular has a wide variety of fish and came pretty much exactly as described in the menu picture. The sushi rice is good and had a little bit of roasted sesame seeds on it. I really liked the saba.The katsu don in the second picture!“
“Everything about this experience was top notch: food, service, and atmosphere. Everything about the place really lets the food shine, though. We had the sushi plates where the chef chooses. Every bite was better than the last. If I had one note, it would be to please tell me what everything is when setting the plate down! I thought I knew, but quickly realized that I wasn't familiar with everything. I'll have to go back soon so I can try it all again and ask.“
“Best hidden gem at Pelham. My family and I come here at least twice every week. Every time we come here, we are always greeted by smiles of the waitress and feel so welcomed. They talk to us like we are friends and always have a good time here. When we order rolls or sushi, the fish is always so fresh. Every single single time. Does not disappoint. The angel roll is a must try, so delicious and such a nice blend and balance of flavors. All of the kitchen foods are so flavorful and delicious. There really isn't a place. My go to sushi place.“
“Menya Sandaime Ramen offers a delightful culinary experience with their flavorful ramen and exceptional service. The rich, savory broth paired with perfectly cooked noodles creates a delicious combination that keeps you coming back for more. The attentive and friendly staff add to the overall dining pleasure, making it a must-visit spot for any ramen enthusiast.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian ramen option“

“The place is the best place ever! It is the resturant that when my family wants Japanies it is the first place we will go to. I highlly recomend this place.Vegetarian options: I am vegeterian my self and I always get sushi and miso soup. The resturant has many options for everyone.“
“Went here for dining but found out they only offer take out after 10pm.But we were greeted by really warm people in there. The old lady who took our order was lovely.We’d ordered two sushi rolls and one gyoza. Everything was good.A great place to grab a quick dinner before you go drinking at the bars nearby.Vegetarian options: Very limited vegetarian options but you won’t go back hungry lolI mean you can’t expect a sushi place to have a ton of vegetarian dishes!“
