50 Best Sushi Bars near Clifton

“Definitely one of the most overwhelming and beautiful places that I’ve ever been to try sushi in my whole life, there’s no way to describe how good it was.
We wait a little more of what we expected.
But wait was worth it food was fresh, homemade and delicious, attention it’s def a 1000/10 you feel that you’re in your home, my 5yo daughter mentioned that she was being treated like her grandma treat her (so you can have an idea of how good they were) well, not many words to add.

Definitely coming back even when I have to drive 21 miles to go there“

The portions were big, and we all left full and happy. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. It’s a nice spot for a family dinner, and we’ll Absolutely! I’ll be back for more!“

“I thought I liked sushi before, I had no idea how much I loved authentic sushi until DomoDomo. The salmon tataki is delicious, the Spicy Tuna Cones are an absolute must (you’ll thank me) and the desserts are a fusion of tastes I haven’t before had but now must have again. Leo is the best server, these dishes were his idea. Thank you for an amazing night DomoDomo!“

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“Nam's Sushi is quite simply the best! Sherry is a great lady! I go there at least once or twice a week! The food is excellent. If you want some great sushi, please go to Nam's Sushi! The food is incredible and the people who work there are so friendly! I love Nam's so much!“

“I've been a regular here for a while! They have really great sushi, and it's also very affordable. The service is wonderful, and you can tell they really care about their customers. I'm always looking forward to my next visit.“

“The food was fresh. I tried a mix of sushi, rolls, and a few hot dishes, and everything tasted amazing. What really stood out to me was the service, Maria. Even though it was busy, Maria was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly, which I appreciated. I also love how easy it is to grab what you want or order from the screen“

“Really nice people and excellent sushi! Cute little place for a date and its byob“

“The BON bento box was hands down the best choice – everything was fresh, the evening with friends was so enjoyable, and I can’t wait to come back!"“

“Food was on point and service was fantastic.“

“I got so lucky when I randomly stumbled upon this place while getting lunch at work. As someone who loves chicken teriyaki trust me when I say you must try theirs. I have been searching for the last few years all around the bergen county area for the best chicken teriyaki and I have found it here. This is my absolute favorite! I have tried probably 50+ restaurants and nothing can beat this. From the way they prepare chicken, to the homemade sauce they use, the perfectly cooked rice and the avocado, egg and dumplings they add on.... it is one of the greatest combinations i've ever tasted. On top of that, their sushi is always delicious and fresh. If thats not enough, they also have fantastic owners and workers there. I always get a warm greeting, and they're thankful for my patronage. Fantastic all around. I will be back soon... My favorite sushi spot!“

“I ordered the two-roll sushi combo with a California roll and a salmon avocado roll, and both were incredibly fresh and delicious. I also got the green salad with ginger dressing, which tasted so fresh and flavorful. The shrimp shumai were honestly addictive. They also included veggie gyoza and miso soup on the house, and both were delicious as well. Everything tasted fresh and well made, and I will definitely be returning to Kame Sushi.“

“I’ve been coming to Sushi Story since the day it opened, and it continues to impress every single time. The first thing that stood out to me was the service—warm, immediate, and sincere. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted and made to feel welcome. The waitresses are consistently polite, attentive, and always carry a genuine smile. In particular, the waitress with the slicked-back hair has a way of elevating every visit; she’s made several special occasions truly memorable. The restaurant is almost always busy, and for good reason. Because seating can be difficult to secure, I strongly recommend making an RSVP ahead of time. Even with the constant flow of guests, the experience never feels rushed. The master sushi chef is actively engaged with diners, adding an extra touch of authenticity and hospitality to the meal. As for the food—exceptional. The salmon and tuna are always fresh, vibrant, and prepared perfectly. It’s easily one of the best places to enjoy a great evening out with family or friends. And don’t forget: it’s BYOB, so feel free to bring your favorite bottle of wine. Sushi Story is truly a gem, and I look forward to visiting again very soon.“

“We highly recommend ICCA Sushi, always fresh, delicious and worth every cent. This is a BYOB restaurant if you’re interested in eating in. I usually pick up. In the past during COVID they use to deliver. I am not sure if they do now. Absolutely, incredible! You can go for lunch and dinner if you want!“

“Sushi by Bou at the W Hotel in Hoboken is an absolute gem of an omakase experience. The 90s hip-hop vibe, graffiti art, and vinyl records set the most unexpected and fun atmosphere — it's cool, intimate, and totally unique. Every course was carefully crafted with incredibly fresh fish, and the chef walked us through each piece with passion and detail. The cocktails and sake selection paired perfectly with the meal. Whether it's a date night, birthday, or just a special evening out, this place delivers on every level. Highly recommend the Bougie upgrade — worth every bite!“

“Fresh raw oysters. Sashimi was delicious. Nice portion“

“Oishi Sushi is my husband’s absolute favorite sushi spot! The quality is always fresh, the service is great, and the atmosphere is welcoming. His go-to order is the Amazing Tuna roll, and it never disappoints — flavorful, fresh, and perfectly made every time. Definitely one of our favorite places for sushi. Highly recommend if you love good tuna rolls!“

“Great service and food. The tuna tartar is amazing and is the best miso soup ever.“

“Nice little sushi place with great prices. My husband and I both enjoyed our items which included the chicken yakitori, Beef Negimaki, vegetable roll, wasabi spicy tuna roll and regular spicy tuna roll. We also enjoyed the fresh complementary grapes at the end. Service was extra friendly and attentive!“

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

“I have to say, I have tried plenty of AYCE sushi spots and “A Sushi” hands down has to be the best. The fish itself is so fresh, the portion of rice to fish is perfect. Some places use a lot of fillers or extra rice to fill you up but not here. Every bite was honestly so tasty. I ordered 6 rolls, shumai, and a few other kitchen appetizers. Our server was very polite, attentive, and smiling which made the atmosphere feel welcoming. The restaurant itself could use a little decor to be more vibrant but when the sushi is that good, it didn’t really matter. This was my first time and definitely not my last. Absolutely a 12/10 for quality sushi. Go try it out for yourself.“

“This is hands‑down the best sushi in Montclair. The raw fish is unbelievably fresh every single day of the week, and the owners are some of the warmest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. Their special rolls are actually special — creative, balanced, and consistently excellent. I recommend this place! It’s a true sushi gem in our neighborhood.“

“After a very long day, I came in get a bite to eat before I went back to traveling. The food is delicious. The staff is incredible. They will go the extra mile for you (literally). After ordering and eating entirely too much delicious food the couple who owns the restaurant gave me a ride to the bus station. The woman who served me was kind and kept me company while I was alone. Really one of the best experiences I have had in the entire state of New Jersey. Thankful for people like you.“

“Always great food and service at Nizi“

“Absolutely amazing! Go there!“

“Morgan Steakhouse, which opened on May 1, offers a unique dining experience with a lively atmosphere and diverse musical entertainment. From Tuesday to Sunday nights, guests can enjoy a live DJ playing on the patio in the front sushi area, creating an energetic vibe. Moving to the back, the restaurant transforms into a country-style Yellowstone steakhouse featuring excellent country music that perfectly complements the ambiance. The food is outstanding, and the staff provide attentive and friendly service, making for a memorable visit overall. This combination of great music, delicious cuisine, and welcoming staff makes Morgan Steakhouse a standout destination.“

“Went here for the first time with my son and I am so glad we found this gem! When you step inside, you’re walking into a peaceful oasis filled with natural light, plants, and beautiful decor. You can dine in or take out. The sushi was so fresh and delicious! We also ordered fried dumplings and shrimp shumai. They have an awesome grocery section to the side where you can buy many Japanese snacks and ramen, as well as mochi. The service was fantastic and the owner is so kind. An absolute must go-to!!“

“The food is top notch. From the soup to the sushi. Even the ice cream is delicious. What really bothers me though is the service. There is a 90 minute time limit which I get but when you are rushed to get out by an hour that’s not right. Also when you’re hounding tables waiting to literally take a plate because you have nothing else to do that’s a problem. Finally when you’re coming up to tables and asking them for platters back because you don’t have enough supposedly that’s not good either. Last night I was hounded constantly. Twice I had people tell me to move my sushi to my paper plate because they needed the platter. May I suggest buying more platters. Love the food and yes I know I’ll be back but the service was ridiculous in your face. Don’t come here for date night because they don’t leave you alone“

“We had dinner at Matsu on Friday......its a little gem in Hillsdale. We were pleasantly surprised, by the quality and quantity of the food. The Staff went out of their way to accommodate us. They very friendly and warm. It was a most enjoyable dinner. We have ordered food to takeout but hadn't been inside the restaurant since the pandemic.... We will definitely go again soon. It was a great experience and we both recommend you give it a try!“

“Stopped in for lunch with my wife the other day, our first time here and I'm so happy we came. The food food delicious, top notch sushi, fresh and delicious. The Goyza dumplings probably the best I've ever had, and that Toro just melted in your mouth. We found our sushi spot in the area! Can't wait to come back and try more dishes.“

“Wow wow wow! Our server was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the food was DELICIOUS. We were trying this place for the first time after our usual spot was closed for the holiday and we loved it. The dessert was also very delicious :) One thing we loved was the pleasant spiciness from the spicy mayo, it had a kick that made you want to eat more. We will definitely be returning customers! Thank you so much for the great meal.“

“This is a long time coming! I actually moved here years ago from Hudson County and I was on the hunt for good sushi. This place is it! I only have come in once, every other time I order on Uber eats because I’m lazy tbh. It ALWAYS slays, they do a fantastic job! Best sushi ever! I honestly make up reasons to order this sushi. Good hair day? Ohmysushi. Got out of bed? Ohmysushi. Just a nice day out! Ohmysushi. Fantastic work here, very tasty, fresh and clean. I recommend this place to my friends and friends who visit NJ, it’s a top spot for sure! Thank you for always being great! Even if I move states or locations, I might just get a flight to buy this sushi, or drive hours.“

“Hands down the best sushi in the entire Kearny area — nothing else even comes close.
We always ordered their sushi and sashimi deluxe and always blown away by how fresh, clean, and beautifully prepared everything was. The quality is always incredibly consistent — every single time we order from them, the fish is top-notch and the flavors and freshness are perfect. Even the miso soup that came with the sushi is great too.
Their service is also fast, friendly, and reliable.
We always finish our meal feeling satisfied, grateful, and impressed. They only offer take outs which is always readily available by the time we got there.
If I could give them 100 stars, I truly would.
Highly, highly recommend!“

“This place was recommended by my uncle because he knows how much I love trying new restaurants. The atmosphere is calm, cozy, and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The food tasted authentic and absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend it for a lunch date or even a quick stop for boba. The staff was attentive, friendly, and polite, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be returning soon!:)“

“Sushi is the key to my heart so you know I had to try this spot out. It was such a cute little location, with a wall full of polaroids of customers who have come by.

“Had an amazing experience!
First time trying Brazilian sushi and this spot did not disappoint at all 🤤
The food was absolutely delicious—every bite was full of flavor. What really stood out, though, was
João, the manager, who took such great care of us. His warm hospitality and attention to detail made the whole evening special. The ambiance was perfect, too. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place!“
