“Great place to eat!! Excellent service.“

“One of the best sushi spots I've been to. The fish was incredibly fresh, and every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. The quality of the ingredients really stood out, making for an excellent dining experience. If you're a sushi lover, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'll be coming back again.“

“We ordered from Great Wall tonight through Doordash, and let me tell you….the food was perfect! Everything was fresh, like just made fresh and tasted soooo good! Definitely will order from them again!! Well worth the money!! ❤️“

“There is absolutely no reason to go over the Hudson for one of those fancy, overpriced omakase experiences. Butterfish in Rutherford was a 15 out of 10.
JoJo took hospitality to another level, making our entire family feel so special... especially my daughter on her birthday.
And the food? Course after course, it just kept getting better. The name Butterfish couldn't be more fitting because every bite was so fresh it literally melted in your mouth!!

Bravo, JoJo & Team !!
We'll be back. Highly, highly recommend.“

“A hidden gem! We stumbled upon this place on a walk and decided to grab a bite. We didn’t have a reservation but was quickly seated with a full bar of other diners for the lunch omakase. Great service, yummy food, and unbeatable pricing. This was such a treat! I will make sure to come back when we are in the area.“

“Was visiting my godchild and she wanted to eat here. The staff was amazing as was the ramen. Cozy and cool. We went for lunch on a Saturday and we were seated right away. I would definitely go back“

“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.“

“Great authentic Japanese plus modern inclusions. Options for the whole family“

“Ordered via GrubHub for a late Friday night dinner when the sushi craving hit. I ordered a tuna bowl, and hubby had a salmon bowl. All of the sushi bar bowls come with edamame, miso soup, seaweed salad, kani salad, regular salad (in this case, it was arugula), and avocado. The fish came in huge chunks, lightly marinaded, and tasted fresh. No complaints. I’d order again and try some actual rolls next time. I saw on their menu a pretty good deal for lunch - $12.50 for three regular rolls, so I’ll have to check that out.“

“Staff treats you like family, love how the place is always decorated, and decoration is included in the prefix menu's, birthday packages for free! Food is great, loove the ceviche and chicken mofongo with white sauce. My son is a fan of their Chowfan. They also cater for parties! To me the most important thing is the music, whether there's a dj or not, the music is great! They play everything!“

“Well presented Japanese cuisine“

“Sushi and food is pretty good overall but the service at this place is really hit or miss. There are two (I believe) revolving servers/people who answer the phone. The younger server is very polite and friendly. However the other is incredibly rude, on the phone, and in person. I ordered from this place very often in the past but I will no longer be ordering from here. His attitude makes it not worth it for me. Overall if you’re just looking for good sushi this place is fine, but don’t expect good service.“

“Love love love this place! The staff is amazing and the food can’t be beat! My absolute favorite place in Ridgewood!“

“Really fresh fish, polite and attentive service, the chef special rolls are delicious. My girlfriend and i split 2 special rolls + the sushi and sashimi for 1 combo. In hindsight it was a little too much food but we devoured it. It was also a hot summer day and their AC was very strong which is a huge plus for me.“

“Great service and really yummy food.“

“Service was wonderful and sushi was excellent!“

“Amazingly fresh sushi. Traditional Japanese restaurant with great customer service. Expensive but worth it; better quality than any other sushi place around.“

“I ordered take out from here for the first time and I will definitely be back ! I got the 2 roll all day special, spicy shrimp and yellowtail avocado roll. The seafood is super fresh, they don’t use a lot of rice which I love. Miso soup was also delicious.“

“Excellent food, in a casual setting.“

“Fresh and delicious! The sweetest people too. I bring my 10 year old daughter four out Mama and Me dates and she LOVES it so much. Please give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I love this restaurant so much! I first visited for a Saturday lunch with my coworkers. We all work in NYC, but since everyone lives in NJ, it felt a little different from our usual work atmosphere, which made it even more enjoyable.

The food was absolutely delicious, so I decided to come back a second time with my family — and I’m so glad I did!
Not only was the food excellent again, but the restaurant was also incredibly friendly and welcoming to my children (ages 1 and 3). As parents, dining out with little kids can sometimes feel stressful, but the staff made us feel very comfortable, and it was such an easy place to visit as a family.
I really appreciated the warm atmosphere, great food, and family-friendly environment. I will definitely be coming back again!“

“i work in Harlem and this little gem on 124th is fabulous. the food is delicious, the lunch specials are well priced. I have had many lunches and dinners at this place. love love love it“

“I love to go here every monday lunch. This is my go to place for bento box. I love the cozy atmosphere of this place and there music. Overall the vibes is relaxing. I love to order there bento box, the moment you dine in, you get served a pickled radish and peanuts. The crispy rice tuna we were raving about. So delicious. I will keep coming back for sure.“

“Very friendly staff. Food was delicious. Wish we lived closer.“

“I have been going to Sushi by Sea regularly since discovering it in 2023. The sushi is exceptional— the quality is as good as I’ve ever had and Chris, the chef/owner, adds unique and innovative touches to each dish. The environment is fun and lively, and is always unique. The menu changes regularly so no experience is ever the same. Highly recommend to any sushi lover that also likes to have a fun time.“

“One of the best sushi spots I’ve been to! The food is fresh and delicious, and the service is excellent. Highly recommend!“

“I don’t leave reviews often, but I had to because we had the kindest waitress of all time tonight. First off, they opened up the back section of the restaurant just to accommodate our group. The waitress was soooo sweet, especially to my baby niece and nephew. She gave them light up headbands to wear as well as pretty Christmas ornaments to take home. I have never experienced such great service. Also, the food was delicious (as always), and the babies loved the food too!“

“It's been years coming to parsley, I mean how can you not come here. Let me explain to you that this woman all by herself is managing this place. From Onigiris to Tuna Don, Maze Gohan as well as ramen soups. I mean everything is so perfect. She has a great selection of sake to die for as well as beer. Without mentioning that there is a variety of Wines. Excellent for Dine in and takeout. Overall, a great place for dates, as well as coming alone. You will not be disappointed.

Vegetarian options: Tofu soup, Vegetable Gyozas, vegetables Onigiris.“

“Excellent experience from start to finish. The service was stellar, so warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious (highly recommend the spicy tuna tartare), and the omakase was outstanding. This was truly one of the best dining experiences my partner and I have had in New Jersey.“

“It is with a full stomach and heart that I am able to publicly share how wonderful Blu Sushi is. Not only is the fish the freshest, but it run by welcoming and friendly staff, chefs and owners. It is not often that you find a restaurant without any criticisms, but then I found Blu. The dining and take-out experiences are how all food establishments should be run. The staff are clearly happy and supported which makes it, without question, a smaller establishment that I am happy to patronize. If you are reading this and considering ordering or not, just do it. You will not be disappointed with the high quality for a great price . Thank you Blu, for the amazing food and homey feel :)“

“This is the best hibachi in Bergen county. If you are near montvale or saddle river you need to come and try. The atmosphere was beautiful and all staff were extremely helpful and lovely. The sushi is incredibly fresh and the owner is a very nice person. Would definitely come back again.“

“We have been ordering from poke zone for months and it has been our favorite spot in the area but the last few times, we noticed a drop in the freshness of the ingredients and it hit or miss which means they have been storing them for the next day or two instead of using fresh like they used to be. Sad“

“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!“

“Great service, delish is food! Never disappoints.“

“The pork tenderloin was one of the best I’ve had, the meat was medium well done which was perfectly tender and juicy, while the outside was nice and crispy. We also ordered one of the udons and the noodles were deliciously chewy. We drove 40 minutes to this restaurant and was so worth it, would highly recommend!!“

“So good . When you order takeout fried food, they wait to the last minute of your delivery time to put the food in the fryer. Don't complain if you have to wait a few extra minutes . To get hot crisp food instead of soggy cold stuff that steamed it self cold in the togo containers. LOVE THEM.“

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

“Omakase sushi is best quality and everything is authentic and excellent. Clean soothing atmosphere and great service“

“absolutely delicious service was great .🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤“

“Love This place !“

“Món ăn Nhật Bản ngon nhất tôi từng nếm thử. Tôi rất khuyến khích. Best japanese food I have ever tasted. I highly recommend.“

“Good food!🍱 a little bit dimly lit but it’s probably to make it feel and look cozy.“

“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!"“

“Great set up outside with tents and lights. Food is very fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. Prices are reasonable . Will , definitely , be back. Thank you Kumade!“

“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.“

“The Umami Bomb is exactly that. the bomb (1990). So good back to pre-pandemic portions and tasty ingredients. Thank God you exist.“

“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.“

“First time in this town, so I stopped by to try their noodles.
I highly recommend it! The chili oil really takes it to another level — the flavor is absolutely amazing.
Couldn’t wait to leave a review and tell everyone: this is a hidden gem of a restaurant!“

“I had an amazing experience at Masago Sushi in Ridgewood, NJ. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The prices are also such a big factor since its so low for such big portions. But what really stood out, was the service. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and quick without ever feeling rushed. They made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. I would like to acknowledge the service of Ashley. She was so nice and really made us know that we didn’t make a mistake going here.

The atmosphere is also a big plus! Warm, clean, and relaxing, with a modern touch that makes it perfect for a casual lunch or a nice dinner out. You can tell they put care into creating an inviting dining environment.

Overall, Masago Sushi delivers great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to everyone!“

“This place has the potential of being staple in the harlem neighborhood. It more of Americanized Japanese food that they serve. Which is not a bad thing, this is good place if you want something different but still stay in the familiarity of dishes. Their prices are very fairand give good portion sizes. I will recommend for you to come try it if you never been. It's definitely a place to go for lunch or picking up something quick.“
