50 Best Sushi Bars near Cliffside Park

“Small shop in a convenient location for locals. The sushi is fairly priced, especially if you choose one of the deals. It’s nothing extraordinary, but definitely better than the average hole-in-the-wall spot. Overall, it’s good enough that you won’t have any issues, just not particularly impressive.“

“The food is fresh and delicious. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is super-friendly & attentive. Will definitely come back!“

“As usual, the food was good. The staff was very friendly, but I'm confused why sometimes when ordering an Omakase, they include salad and soup other times we don't receive it.? There's also definitely a variation on the fish in the Omakase this time., was kind of plain ... another thing that should be noted is there is always confusion about being gluten-free when I ask for things to be prepared gluten-free I'm told I'll ask Chef but I'm never really certain if the food is gluten-free because I don't get adequate communication on that. The drinks are always 100% on point. I love the ambience. The tuna is always exceptionally fresh and it's so great to have a local spot like this. “

“I came here a friend and had 2 rolls (salmon and tuna), one sea urchin, and one wagyu single piece. All the food was incredible. Some of the best sushi I've had in my life. My friend had 2 vegetarian rolls, which both were delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys higher quality sushi, especially at lunch since they have some discounted rolls.“

“Second to none! The ingredients are fresh and chef skills are world class.“

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.“

“My daughter chose this for a birthday dinner. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was fantastic. Audrey was our server. She was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, made great recommendations, she was there when we needed her without being there too often. I would highly recommend Rosella Sushi. Can’t wait to get back to New York City and return for a meal here. It also makes it extra cool when Chef Jeff is wearing a Florida Gator hat!“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“Philip was amazing! So helpful and recommended a lot of things! Thank you so much for the experience Philip. The girl at the entrance can be more helpful and have better greeting. She looked at us as if we are not very welcomed and as if she judged us. If it was not from philip i would have put max 1 star. I wanted to leave due to her before even sitting.“

“Haven’t eaten this well since I was last actually in Japan late 2019 before you know what! Loved the Korean flavoured belly pork.“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“The best sushi I ever had.Friendly chef and attentive staff.“

“Excellent sushi!!!! Fresh fish. Amazing food.“

“The food was wonderful and the ambiance lovely. The service pretty attentive and cheerful. But the desserts were overpriced and not worth it. Try the udon noodle with mushroooms. . yumm.“

“A hidden gem on the UWS! The lunch omakase is less than $40, and even the premium omakase is only around $60 including tip. Honestly, that’s cheaper than many regular restaurants in NYC, especially for omakase.

The sushi was great, the staff were super friendly, and the service was excellent. Amazing value for the price. Definitely coming back!“

“Sushi onakase Shinzo best“

“Absolutely amazing food was delicious and the attention of the staff unique.“

“We had the Standard Dinner at Uka Omakase and it was such a fantastic experience! The meal included a delicious miso soup, 12 pieces of nigiri, a hand roll, and dessert. Every bite was so thoughtfully crafted.

What really stood out to me were the unique flavor combinations and decadent toppings. The bluefin tuna with mushroom was incredible, and I especially loved the piece topped with miso yuzu. The chu toro with foie gras was rich and absolutely indulgent, while the piece topped with caviar added another delicious layer of flavor.

There were so many memorable pieces throughout the meal, and I loved that the nigiri went beyond traditional flavors with creative combinations that still allowed the quality of the fish to shine. Everything felt elevated, flavorful, and beautifully balanced.

Definitely a great omakase experience for anyone who loves sushi and enjoys trying creative, luxurious flavor combinations.“

“Excellent experience the food was amazing. The service was out of this world. It was impeccable.“

“Pros: Good spot, good food, good sushi selection for being a small space. Cons: Place was very busy when we went (6/13/21) and service was slow. Took 20 minutes to get dessert. Some of our plates and soy dishes were not well cleaned from previous use. Ordered and was charged for two dishes to go, but only one was actually packed. Overall 3 stars due to the cons we experienced, but hoping that was just catching them at a bad time.“

“This is absolutely our new sushi spot in NYC. Went for my boyfriend's birthday because my usual spot was closed on the day. Beginning to end this was a phenomenal experience worth SO much more than they charge. The spot is subtle and well decorated and feels like a secret no one else is in on. There's a lovely seating area when you arrive where you can order a drink before being seated for your dining at the sushi bar.

We had 4 people to one chef, and three wonderful women attending to absolutely every other thing. Received an excellent sake recommendation, and immediately started in on the 17 course omakase. Each piece was beautifully crafted right in front of us with delicacy and precision that felt like it was out of a film. Truly truly delicious, fresh pieces flown in from Japan and seasoned in unexpected but beautiful ways. We loved every second of it. The chef was even attentive enough to notice that my boyfriend was left-handed, so he angled the nigiri at the proper angle for him to pick up. The attention to detail of everything in this place was amazing.

Because it was my boyfriend's birthday, and the end of the omakase menu they made him a beautiful little sashimi don with a teddy bear candle in it. So cute and thoughtful!

For a long time I've been a Gari devotee, but I've been entirely converted. In addition to excellent quality sushi, this was a whole experience that felt intimate and authentically Japanese. To get that kind of experience for such an unbelievably reasonable price is not something I thought I'd ever experience in NY. So glad we found this place and we will definitely be back! Cannot recommend enough!“

“Great sushi, fun vibe!
Sushi YOLO was a great find. The fish tasted fresh, the rolls were creative, and the portions were generous for the price. Service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was relaxed and casual. It's a good spot for a night out with friends or a laid-back dinner. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Since I don't know what you ordered or how your visit went, please change anything that doesn't match your experience. If you tell me the dishes you had, the rating you want to give, or the tone (short and casual, detailed, or critical), I can tailor it.“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“Fabulous, in every way. Kinoko was amazing, deluxe sushi plate included more sashimi than advertised, including rarities like snapper and 3 different grades of tuna. Reasonably priced saki and the matcha tiramisu was decadent with perfect lady fingers. One of the best sushi meals of my life.“

“Such a fun omakase experience at KAKI! The meal started with a little fire show right in the appetizer, which made for a memorable opening. I enjoyed watching the chef prepare each piece at the counter, especially the lightly seared sushi. The warm lighting and cozy atmosphere made it a lovely spot for dinner with a friend. We had the 15-course omakase for $85 per person and really enjoyed the evening! 🍣🔥“

“The omakase was soo good. Definitely recommend the golden ducky“

“Such a good experience! The chefs were incredible at their jobs but also engaging and lively. The server made the evening really beautiful with his presence. They gave everyone a free shot on the house and we also got a mini cake for our celebration. The food was out of this world! So yummy and you do not feel hungry after.

We’ll be back!“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Fushimi Restaurant! The food was delicious, from the appetizers we ordered to our main course. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks, which perfectly complemented our meal. What truly made our visit exceptional was the incredible service provided by our waitress, Ohmie. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Her warm demeanor and professionalism truly elevated our dining experience. We strongly recommend Fushimi Restaurant, especially because of the outstanding service we received from Ohmie. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“Great spot ...............“

“To us, the best Omakase place in the city. Excellent quality, exceptional service and if you excellent price, especially during the week for lunch time. We have brought our friends, our family visiting us… we have celebrated birthdays and anniversaries here whenever we have had the opportunity to. Just a great place.“

“Solid sushi place with fresh fish and good service. Menu is not as extensive as at other sushi restaurants but enough of the standard option to appease the palate. Prices are reasonable for the area and the portion of food served. I went on a Friday evening around 7pm and the place was not crowded nor was there a wait for a table.“

“Second to none! The ingredients are fresh and chef skills are world class.“

“Warm staff and delicious classic Japanese sushi.

The fish was incredibly fresh and the rice perfectly seasoned.

Might be the best spot in the Hudson yard area, and the locals seem to know it based on the take out order rate. Everything was delicious and efficient. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Best sushi I ever eat in NYC“

“Great food very good service“

“Nice chef at 8 pm and 8/18/2026

Service was good. Eel fois gras was a standout dish!

For $88, the signature set was very reasonable. Except, the dessert was just mochi ice cream that tasted store bought. Which was a very weak ending to the night.“

“Overall very impressed with the food quality, especially the melt in your mouth tender meats. Appreciate how the meats are halal & no alcohol is served. Prashant is an absolute delight - knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. He and the whole staff made dinner a wonderful experience.“

“Sushi was amazing. My daughter is allergic to soy and our waiter was very helpful! Service was very good.“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“Best omakase I’ve ever had in my life and we’ve had omakase all over across the country!

We only did the 12 course and regretted not doing the 17. We came for lunch at 12:30 on a Saturday and it was empty! Not many places open for lunch so I appreciated that they have lunch service. They also gave us some mochi for dessert to celebrate our honeymoon.

I’ll always recommend this spot and plan to visit every time I’m in New York.“

“I have been to Douska a number of times, and keep coming back for their exceptional hand rolls. Fish quality has always been excellent, and I especially love the snapper.“

“Everything served here was executed to perfection—truly next-level professionalism from the kitchen to the table. One thing’s for sure: they love their truffles! I honestly started wondering if they have a secret underground truffle farm in the back because the aroma and quantity were insane. 10/10 experience!“

“Awesome Delicious Sushi, I can’t believe how quick they prepared and delivered our food...“

“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.“

“Go here with your good friends before going out to a bar in the east village. The service was fast and kind. The beers were BIG!!! And yummy. Try the plum wine why don’cha. The food was good. There were lots of special types of rolls, low-key just go for anything that has avocado in it. The fried ice cream was unique and yummy, split between three people, it felt like I wanted more, which is a good feeling. Contrast between fried and ice cream and whipped cream was nice. The waiters were kind and they’ll get you in and out efficiently- happy and fed. Have fun! Live on!“

“We had an absolutely amazing experience and the outstanding service truly made our last night in New York Unforgettable!
A very special thank you to our server, whose name we unfortunately forgot to ask. Our order was under my Husband's name, Shawn. our server was exceptional in every way, so kind, professional, patient, attentive, and genuinely helpful. His attention to detail, warm attitude, and excellent service made us feel welcomed and card for.
The host was also wonderful, keeping us informed and making us feel welcome even thought we arrived without reservation.

The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared and delicious. Our son loved his roasted chicken with rice too.
We also tried the crispy fried calamari, which was delicious and another highlight of our meal!
we also had hot sake and the cold plum sake which was amazing. really recommend it.

AMAZING FOOD AND AMAZING PEOPLE, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“

“14 course omakase for an hour“

“Went for lunch and I found the food, service, and atmosphere all to be good but not amazing or mind-blowing, and wasn't convinced about the Michelin star.

The fish was good quality, and so was the rice, although I felt it was a bit under seasoned. The chef did use salt as a topping/between the fish and the rice, and while it worked in some pieces, it couldn't always make up for the under seasoned rice. The appetizers and the tamago were also underwhelming. Okay but nothing spectacular.

I also found the service to be a little cold and stuffy at times. That works fine at a fast paced Omakase counter but not so much otherwise.

There's definitely better spots in the city that deliver a more memorable experience while still honoring tradition. Still, worth checking out at least once!“
