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“

“My family and I had a great time at Ooaka Sushi! We ordered hibachi and everything was amazing — the food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. 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!“

It makes me very happy that this exists in a town/area that means a lot to myself and many others.

I encourage everyone reading this, whether you are in the mood for food, milk tea, or other treats, they have you covered here and with a smile and great conversations.

Bless the owners of this establishment that have spent their lives making the lives of others better via their hard work and tasty recipes!!!“

“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“

“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!“

“Food was on point and service was fantastic.“

“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.“

“Service was truly excellent and the food was really very special. Excellent and fresh, well prepared sushi dishes. The menu is tremendous.

Free food! Yes they give you things for free. Free platter of salted edamame. I took my leftovers home, because I couldn’t finish my huge lunch portions. They wrapped everything beautifully, included free miso soup and sweets in the bag. They also gave me extra soy sauce wasabi and dishes as well as utensils.

Free probiotic drink after your meal.

I will be returning soon!

Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“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!"“

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

“Absolutely stellar experience. From being beginning to end. From the warm greeting from Juan and Brian upon entering, to the cheeky banter from chef johan, to the warm smile from Kevin. It felt as though I was being welcomed into the home of an old friend who had particularly exceptional taste in music. All in all, a lovely experience that I would definitely recommend.“

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

“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!“

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

“I order from here all the time; usually for the lunch special in person and online. The sushi always tastes fresh and for the price it's 👌. I love coming here and I always recommend this place to my friends. Highly recommend! I'd come here every week if I could lol“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Overall it was pretty good! Yamada is a cute little sushi spot in Rutherford with unique antique decor I would say. I’ve tried couple different things and it was good, I can test the freshness from all the dishes I’ve had. The service was great and the prices were affordable. Will be back again.“

“Always great food and service at Nizi“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing! Go there!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“By far one of the best Korean Japanese restaurants. I’ve been ordering from Sea Shai since 2021/22 & the consistency of the food and customer service is always amazing! The flavor of the food is spectacular. I travel to Sea Shai to pick up my order because it is several neighborhoods away, totally worth the drive. The food is priced fairly for the portion and flavors you are receiving. Highly recommend trying this restaurant out. I cannot get enough of the Bulgogi with white rice platter, A M A Z I N G!

Kid-friendliness: Friendly environment, has big tables available for families who want to dine in.

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, no issues getting in or out the restaurant“

“Only take out available.... but wonderful service and great food.

Vegetarian options: They have a whole section of the menu for vegetarian/vegan options

Dietary restrictions: They will do anything necessary to accommodate restrictions.“

“This is a fantastic sushi spot that I highly recommend to anyone in the area. The chicken katsu roll was especially delicious — definitely a must-try. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the prices were great. Overall, an excellent experience and absolutely worth a visit.“

“This is one of my favorite places. The owners and the staff are very nice and kind. The best hibachi that I ever tested. If you would like to save money you can order different combinations. Very good miso soup coming for free with some meals.“

“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!“

“Delicious, affordable, and very friendly service.“

“Amazing food order for the first time today and this will become my favorite spot 🍤🍣🍜😋😋😋😋😋“

“The Lunch special was a pretty good deal, the sushi was fresh, order was ready on time, took exactly 7 minutes from the time of order to pick up in the middle of a weekday at lunchtime, that’s saying something for around here these days,, tasty new spot for sushi!“

“Everything was perfect. small place but big quality.👏🏻👌🏻.“

“Good spot for sushi! I ordered takeout and loved the spicy California roll—finally, a sushi spot that gets the spice just right! The atmosphere looked inviting, with live music playing and a cozy dine-in setup. I’ll definitely be stopping by again!

The best part is you get a free appetizer with any order of $25 and up.“

“I've been going to different sushi spots but I just found my spot. The sushi is super fresh, tastes really good but what caught my attention was definitely the service. Our server Ana was amazing beggining to end, we asked some advice on what to order, she made sure to take care of us. Ana is professional, on point, funny and one of the best servers I've had. I'm definitely coming back and to the owners, Ana deserve a raise or a promotion! ❤️“

“Hands-down the best sushi in NJ, and probably the tri-state area, including NYC. I worked in NYC for 15 years and this place is superior to any sushi restaurants I went to.“
