50 Best Sushi Bars near Elmwood Park

“I always get sushi from this place, whether it's takeout or delivery. Everything is reasonably priced, and the portion sizes are generous. The food is always fresh, and I’ve been a loyal customer for over three years. Their quality has never dropped.

If you want to get Japanese food, I definitely recommend this place. The customer service is excellent – the staff are respectful, patient, and really friendly. This is the only place I buy sushi for takeout. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Put this place on the map!!!! A tried a true, best of the best, MUST go to spot when visiting (or living in) NYC. No exaggeration, my boyfriend and I haven’t stopped talking about this place since we visited last year. We’ll finally be back in town next month and are beyond excited to be dining with them again. Did we book a trip just to eat here!? Maybe… probably… because seriously, this place is exceptional. The owner is the sweetest, most delightful human with an incredible story and the food/service is an unmatched experience. Plus, you simply can’t beat their affordable omakasi prices…but the bigger bonus??? BYOB. Bring your wine, bring your tequila, bring neither or bring both. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a party in the most intimate sense. I never write reviews, but Sushi YOLO is a 10/10, so please, do yourself a favor and go see them before they earn that Michelin Star!“

“If you think you’ve had great sushi before, think again. Sushi Ishikawa, led by the extraordinary Chef Don, takes sushi to a whole new level. The precision of the technique, the freshness of every ingredient, and the unique flavor combinations make every visit an unparalleled journey for the senses. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, adding to the feeling of a truly personal experience. Once you’ve tasted Chef Don’s creations, there’s no going back – you’ll crave this experience over and over again. Sushi Ishikawa is not just dining; it’s falling in love with sushi all over again, every time.“

“My favorite omakase place in the city! I feel so lucky that Takeda is in our neighborhood. The high quality dishes are always presented beautifully, and each time we go, we'd be surprised by some special offerings that are so delicious but that we have never tried before (e.g., tiny white shrimp). Chef Takeda and his staff are always friendly, professional, and very informative with each dish that they serve; they'll share the specific prefecture from which the fish is from, and other information such as the season for the fish, and whether they aged it and for how long etc. The environment is calming and you don't hear any outside noise, so we could focus entirely on the culinary experience, and I love that! It is an intimate setting and I thoroughly enjoy watching Chef Takeda craft each dish with meticulous precision. It's definitely a treat to come here!“

“I am a local from New Jersey now living in Germany, came back to visit and was in the mood for a Poke Bowl. I have to say I have been to many poke places and this is THE BEST ONE. Everything tastes fresh. I love that you have many options on creating your bowl. I also had a taro bubble tea and it was delicious! Employees are very friendly and welcoming. I will be stopping here a few more times before I head back to Germany!“

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

“Absolutely amazing! Mr. Nam makes the freshest, most tasteful sushi I've ever had. He's got a kind heart and is always so sweet to my kids. What a great place!“

“Kame Sushi is hands down the best sushi experience I’ve had in a long time! The fish is incredibly fresh, and every dish is prepared with such care and precision. The sushi melts in your mouth, and the presentation is beautiful. The ambiance is cozy, and the staff is super friendly and attentive. Whether you're a sushi lover or trying it for the first time, this place won’t disappoint!
The Honey Ginger Ginseng tea is a MUST TRY!“

“I had a fantastic dinner here early on a Saturday evening. I opted for the Premium offering and it was absolutely worth it.

I was really impressed with the creativity in the dishes. Particularly the style of the rice and the use of acidic elements like pickles.

This menu also includes a truly diabolical nigiri with Wagyu, truffle and uni. Truly insane in the best way.

Excellent service as well with really friendly serving staff and chefs. Sit at the counter if you want to see the action.“

“Went to Choo Choo Train with five friends. Ordered Miso Salmon entree and it was delicious. Salmon was grilled perfectly, broccoli and carrots were cooked well and still crunchy, and mashed sweet potatoes were yummy. Cannot say enough about food and attentive service. Will return...no doubt!“

“Cute little place. Always filled with locals and regulars. Evident sign that the place is good. Bumping with efficient take out orders going out all the time. Quick and efficient service. Friendly and helpful staff. And the star of the whole review is that the sushi is impeccable. Fresh, flavorful, tasty, and light. Love love love!

Kid-friendliness: Every time I have been there there have been babies and young kids.“

“So happy to have found this hidden gem. It is on the lower level of a building with a different restaurant just above. They have a large outdoor patio with heaters behind the building which is perfect for covid-safe dining. The food was fantastic, excellent sushi! Top quality fish, beautiful preparation and presentation and there are a few omakase options. The hoji tea panna cotta dessert was phenomenal as well. The price is definitely ‘special occasion’ territory for most but well worth it if you love sushi. Will definitely be coming back and hope others find this hidden gem!“

“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.“

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

“If you’re looking for incredible food, warm hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere, look no further than Roll House Dragon . This local favorite is truly a gem, and my recent visit reminded me why small-town restaurants often have the biggest heart.

The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, each crafted with care and packed with flavor. I started with the Dumplings , which was fresh, flavorful, and a perfect way to kick off the meal. For the main course, I opted for the chicken teriyaki bowl the flavors were absolutely divine, and the portion size was generous without being overwhelming.

What really stood out to me was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail was perfect. You can tell they take pride in creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels at home.“

“Recently tried the Las Vegas Sushi midweek lunch special. The Hwe-Dup-Bap was well made, with fresh ingredients, and served with miso soup. We will be returning.“

“Seen this place as I was getting my car washed across the street ... Decided to give a try. Very Cozy inside, I introduced myself to the Chef who turned out to be the Owner along with his wonderful wife! Needless to say the Meal was excellent! Wish them Great Success!! #SupportSmallBusiness“

“Some of the best sushi in Manhattan Period.“

“i recently dined at this fantastic restaurant.The use of fresh ingredients was evident in every dish, making each bite a delightful experience. Best Sushi,sashimi i've had in my life.Definitely coming back!!!!“

“Tasty and consistent. Unfortunately, also consistent has been the stray fish bone i’ve been finding in at least one piece of sushi every time in the last 3 visits this year - Dec 2024. Kitchen might need a review.

“An absolutely gem in the hit & miss Times Square area.

The sushi is inventive flavorsome and seriously generous , the sashimi a cornucopia of the freshest fish of all colors sliced extra thick.

Great value for what you get with outstanding , friendly and attentive service.

I can’t wait to go back!“

“Chef Chris NEVER disappoints! Every experience gets better and better… and yes it is an experience! His attention to detail and expertise in marrying the flavors create a phenomenal omakase experience! The venue is intimate, the vibe is chill and chef Chris is the GOAT of omakase in my book! Thank you“

“Nami Nori in Montclair is a hidden gem. With delicious vegetarian options and amazing sushi, it's definitely worth a visit. The appetizers are a standout, and the sushi rolls are expertly prepared. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this fantastic restaurant.“

“I loved my experience at shinn west and certainly will be coming back. The omakase set was a total of 13 courses and left me so satisfied, each with amazing flavor. Our server Queena made sure we had a great time and gave great sake recommendations.“

“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“

“Good local sushi restaurant with good variety on menu. Beat of. 3 sushi restaurants in Park Ridge. Good fish quality but not NYC fish 🐟 quality but also not NYC prices. Good value for your money and sushi cravings. Very polite and professional management.“

“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.“

“Owned by a married couple, they are both super welcoming when you get inside. They are very kind and make you feel like you're at home because the chef cooks right in front of you and it's pretty cozy in there.

Amazing sushi! It's seriously the best that I have had in my life. The food is fresh with very good quality and delicious flavor. I feel like no other restaurant/place does it like Ino Sushi. The place is also quiet and calm.

When we were leaving, my almost 2 year old brother hugged the owners and they are just soooo nice. Love it here!

Kid-friendliness: VERY kind to kids!“

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

“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!

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

“Our 1st omakaze experience & def not the last! I love the smallness of the place, it makes it special! Everything melts in your mouth! The best Christmas gift ever!“

“If you're looking for authentic sushi, this is the place to be. The service is top-notch, and the sushi rolls are simply delicious. I've visited many sushi spots across Northern NJ, but this one stands out. The rice is perfectly cooked and has a subtle sweetness, while the sushi is incredibly fresh. Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Highly recommended!“

“My fiancé and I play this alphabet game where we go A-Z and eat at a different restaurant beginning with each letter that we have never eaten at before. Needless to say, this was our “W.” We drove 45 minutes from North Brunswick and it was so worth it, we were truly satisfied. For appetizer we got; scallops butter yaki, chicken katsu, scallion pancakes, clear soup, miso soup, seaweed salad, and mango prawn salad. We ordered 4 specialty sushi rolls; blue crab fantastic, tropical, jersey, and rainbow dragon. For dessert we got bubble tea which was on the house 😊 we will definitely be back to eat here again! The only negative thing I have to say is that the place was very small inside and not many seats available for dine in as most of their business appears to be take out, but the food and service were so good that it cancels that out. Can’t wait to eat here again!“

“Absolutely amazing! Go there!“

“I consider myself a bit of a sushi snob. IMO, Domadachi is the area’s best sushi and one of the top 3 in New Jersey. The staff is so friendly and they treat you like family when you’re there. The fish is always fresh and the menu is creative.“

“I’ve been coming to Donghae for about 4 years. They’re always consistent in providing great service and fresh food. The owners along with the workers are ver my friendly. As you come often, they start to recognize you and thank you for your loyalty. I’ve recommended this place to a few friends and they’ve all been satisfied. Best fresh sashimi set you can get in nj for sure.“

“My family and I have really enjoyed this restaurant. It is quaint and welcoming. It is also very clean and inviting The staff is very friendly and the rolls are delicious! We also love the miso soup! My kids love coming here ? Totally recommend!“

“So good!!!! Fresh and wonderful“

“i recommand to eat at this place because they have a lot of diffrerent type of foods like dominican food and halal food, and I tried out the rice platter chicken one and it was very yummy and tasteful and declious, and the women chief is amazing at her job and hard working person, and I also recommand the buffalo chicken wrap because it very tasteful and brings fries and has avacado and good wonderful chicken in it and also the sushi are so amazing the lady makes it so good and does her job very well and they have respect and manners and will greet you and have patient, Overall I rate this place 10/10 wonderful place I go here all the time.“

“Great service! Everyone is so nice there and the food comes very fast! One of my favorite restaurants to go to! All of the food there is perfectly handmade!!! Definitely go there!!!“

“Probably one of the most underrated “hole in the wall” spots I’ve been to. Korean couple that owns it is extremely nice and cares about the quality and effort they put into their food. Ordered 4 special rolls and portions were much bigger than you’d expect. Salmon, eel, and tuna were very fresh“

“If you’re looking for something quick that’s not fast food this is your spot, they have daily lunch specials that I didn’t see posted online, one roll and one hand roll, either standard or premium. The sushi was standard overall nothing overly special. I did appreciate how clean the restaurant was and you can see the chefs making the dishes over the counter.

They have a few seatings available but it’s more of a grab and go.“
