50 Best Sushi Bars near Elmwood Park

“Love this place!!! Everything was fresh and super tasty—especially the sushi, poke bowl, and Teriyaki. The sauce on the teppanyaki was so good! Definitely ordering again!“

“I usually don’t leave reviews, but Sushi Yolo definitely deserves one!

I decided to treat myself to celebrate the end of my doctorate program. It was a totally spontaneous decision, so I didn’t spend much time choosing a place. I opened Resy, typed “sushi midtown,” picked one of the top-rated spots, and honestly—I’m so glad I chose Sushi Yolo.

The food was great, but what really made the night special was Alex, the host. He was incredibly attentive and welcoming. I ended up having such a fun and meaningful conversation with him and another guest, Jerry—which is rare for me since I don’t usually talk to strangers. We talked about all kinds of things, and the vibe was just so easy and genuine.

Alex also kept pouring complimentary sake on the house, which was such a generous and thoughtful touch. This is one of those nights I’ll definitely remember—the atmosphere, the food, the conversations, and the company.

Thank you, Alex, for the amazing hospitality and real conversations. You and Jerry truly made my night.

I’ll definitely be back to this lovely restaurant soon.

Wishing you all the best on your journey with your husband!“

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

“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!“

“This is Crazy ... like I love sushi 🍣 ... I've been in so many places just for sushi that I think I'm a professional testing them all ❤️ , but what I just got tonight , the best sushi I've ever have had ... it's without a doubt the best Sushi in the US , no enough with that , my wife thought the same ..., talking about the personal , they are very professional , they come over you front time to time to ask you how are you doing , even the boss was around asking , it means a lot , they really make you feel special and in home ... definitely I suggest to you if you're visiting NY“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Exceptional goods/services from EXCEPTIONAL people.

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!!!“

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

“Omakase Shihou offers an exceptional dining experience with expertly crafted sushi and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, showcasing the freshness and quality of the ingredients. A must-visit for anyone looking for top-tier sushi and great service!

Thank you for the HBD dessert.“

“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!“

“Truly a one-of-a-kind experience. My fiancé and I had an incredible time. The portions were generous, and the flavor profiles were outstanding. We were genuinely blown away by the quality of the meats and Chef Chris’s distinctive style.

Be sure to take a photo of each plate and savor what you’re eating—you’ll definitely want another serving and might not remember every detail! My favorite that day was the sea bream, though I almost feel bad singling it out because everything was spectacular—even the miso soup.

Jay, who is part of the ownership team, was exceptionally welcoming and made everyone feel comfortable and fully immersed in the experience.“

“Food was on point and service was fantastic.“

“Some of the best sushi in Manhattan Period.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Honestly this is one of the best places I have been recently! I looked on a top rated place and found this one. It lived up to it's name! Sushi was fresh and delicious. We also had perfectly salty edamame and yummy mochi. They even gave us an extra one! If was a very calm place only sushi bar seating but YUM!“

“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!"“

“Got the Trust Me, and it was a 10/10. The only downside was that the seating was a little tight, which made it hard to concentrate. The prices are so reasonable for the quality very, very fair. Tip is included in the bill, which is fine. The only other issue was that we were told it would be a 20-minute wait, but it ended up being about an hour. Still, I’m not mad about it, no regrets at all“

“It's hard to find great food near Carnegie Hall that does not cost an arm in a leg. But looking online we saw how reasonably priced this place is. Little did we know that the place would be absolutely gorgeous and the wait staff would be so friendly, quick and efficient, despite being extremely busy. And the food was outta sight! Fresh and delicious. Definitely a keeper. I will go even if I am not on my way to Carnegie Hall!!!“

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

“Honestly this is some of the best sushi I’ve had. Very friendly, accommodating, and good service. But it’s the fish. Fresh, creative, delicious. We’ll be back again, and again.“

“I recently visited Donghae. and it was an amazing experience. The seafood is incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the dishes are beautifully presented. The staff are very friendly and attentive, making the whole meal enjoyable. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner or a special occasion. I’ll definitely be coming back. highly recommend Donghae Susan if you love fresh seafood!“

“The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They did a nice job on the restoration after the fire, everything is now more modern and doesn't look like the outdated renovation that was done years ago looking like a 90s restaurant.

The sushi was very fresh and I like the big selection to choose from on the menu as well. They have a nice cooked section for those that don't do raw food.

Pricing was super reasonable for good sushi. They even have lunch specials, I'm going to stop by for lunch in the future. My wife had the sashimi, which is always her favorite. Kids had soda, and it was under $2? What? I got coke from another restaurant for $3.50 ridiculous.“

“amazing place, we have a great dinner. thank you.“

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

“Yoselin and the entire staff are truly exceptional. Their kindness, warmth, and genuine hospitality make you feel so welcomed and cared for from the moment you walk in. It’s more than just dining—it’s a beautiful experience.

The restaurant itself is absolutely lovely, with such a peaceful, inviting atmosphere that allows you to relax and fully enjoy your time. The food is beyond delicious—every bite is prepared with such care and quality.
It’s rare to find a place where the service, environment, and food are all this wonderful.

I’m so grateful for the experience and can’t wait to return. Thank you all for making every visit so special.“

“This is consistently the very best sushi restaurant in our area. We have been many times for their amazing omakase experience. We are never disappointed, everything is always delicious. We are lucky to have such a great place so close. Highly recommended.“

“Great service, ambiance and amazing food. Simply the best!!“

“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.“

“The value on this experience is very worth it! I’ve been to a few ayce omakase in the city and I think this was the best one. I loved how they coursed the ayce so you weren't forced to guess how many pieces you wanted. I would say my only feedback was that atmosphere-wise there were just pieces of salmon sitting on blue paper towels in the background the whole experience but truly not a huge deal.“

“The rolls here are incredibly well crafted and feel very upscale. You can really tell how much care and attention goes into each roll, from the presentation to the balance of flavors. Everything tastes fresh, refined, and thoughtfully prepared.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Decent price and quality sushi. I had sushi and sashimi platter combo and my family and friends liked it very much!“

“Always great food and service at Nizi“

“Sushi is really fresh and very friendly and competent team. Prices are confident but not higher than you would expect, spicing could be more interesting. They also have high quality sake and made the most of the shop in terms of atmosphere but it is a small takeout place and seating is at the very busy 6av so best to just grab something and enjoy it in Central Park.“

“The other day I was in the Hudson Yards area and passed by Surma Sushi & Ramen and decided to stop in and check it out. I ordered a Deluxe Sashimi set and the Shrimp Tempura roll. Both items were good the Deluxe Sashimi had a variety of different fish. There was Fluke, Scallops, 3 kinds of Tuna and Salmon. The presentation of the Deluxe Sashimi and the Shrimp Tempura were much different than the plastic containers that Im used to having my sushi served in. The waitresses were very attentive with with water refills and making sure everything was ok with my food. Definitely stop by if you're in the area to have good sushi.“

“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!“

“Had an amazing dinner experience at Morgan Steakhouse and Sushi. The music was on point and the atmosphere made the whole night even better. I tried the filet mignon flatbread pizza topped with shrimp and cherry red peppers—absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. Definitely a spot worth checking out!“

“i wenr to the city for a pickup and decided to get lunch here. i had my newborn in the back, i kindly asked for someone to come out and give me the lunch since i couldn’t leave my car. the nice man came out and gave me my order. came out and enjoyed my lunch. i had the crispy tuna, it was so good!!! thanks much.“

“Absolutely amazing! Go there!“

“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.“

“So good!!!! Fresh and wonderful“

“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!!!“

“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“
