50 Best Sushi Bars near Englewood Cliffs

“Seems like a great place for fresh sashimi and seafood lovers.

I have a shellfish issue myself but that didn’t stop us from trying their omakase selection for two.

For anyone else who may not be able to have shellfish, note that their cheese corn, spicy casserole, Japanese seafood pancake, the hand rolls, all have shrimp. They were able to remove shrimp only from the casserole but not the hand rolls. And of course there are many dishes with oysters/mussels.

They have their own lot with a decent amount of parking. Also looks like they have a few offerings for people who aren’t into seafood.“

“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.“

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“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!“

“Absolutely loved our experience yesterday. The basic omakase was delicious at $38, no hidden charges, and staff were lovely. Only slightly minor quibble was everything seemed a bit rushed and a little less peaceful than other places I've been to, but fair enough at that price. I was also a bit surprised at the rudeness of a customer talking on her phone when the staff were trying to engage her. That's not the restaurant's fault but maybe worth having a sign about using phones less and being in the moment more?!“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“The food was wonderful and the ambiance lovely. The service pretty attentive and cheerful. But the desserts were overpriced and not worth it. Try the udon noodle with mushroooms. . yumm.“

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

“I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Sushi W, and I can confidently say that it was one of the best culinary experiences I've ever had. Everything from the moment I walked in was perfect—the ambiance, the service, and most importantly, the food.

The sushi at Sushi W is nothing short of heavenly. Every bite was a delightful explosion of flavors that left me craving more. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the rolls were crafted with such precision and care that you could taste the artistry in each piece. It’s clear that the chefs here are masters of their craft, delivering food that is not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes.

The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. They took the time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and ensure that every aspect of my dining experience was flawless. It's rare to find a place where both the food and service are of such high quality, but Sushi W has truly mastered the art of hospitality.

The cleanliness of the restaurant also stood out to me. The environment was spotless, and every detail was taken care of, which only added to the overall experience of dining here.

I will definitely be returning to Sushi W often, and I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone who loves sushi, quality, and a top-notch dining experience. Whether you're a sushi enthusiast or just looking for an exceptional meal, this place is a must-visit ❤️“

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“Excellent experience the food was amazing. The service was out of this world. It was impeccable.“

“This was a delicious sushi offering and wonderful experience. Their menu clearly listed gluten free options sad they even offered gluten free tempura shrimp (which was fantastic). Our waiter was exceptionally nice and attentive. We will be back!“

“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.“

“14 course omakase for an hour“

“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!“

“You cannot beat their happy hour! Each piece of sushi is around double the size of your typical NYC piece. I also got the sushi tacos and those were fun and different from what I typically get. I also got a bottle of the cold sake. I will definitely be coming back here soon!“

“Best sushi I have ever had.“

“Place is quite nice. My friends enjoyed their meals very much. It is a bit tough finding vegetarian dishes here and I wish the restaurant kept at least one or two large vegetarian dishes that arent pork/beef broth based. However, this may already be known to people before they come in, so shouldn't detract from the review. Ambiance and service were great!“

“Just visited this place and I had a nice time. The ambiance is warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for enjoying delicious Japanese cuisine. From the sushi to the tempura, every dish was good. The staff were attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even better.“

“This is some of the best sushi I have ever had. Super fresh ingredients and the sushi so good I didn’t require dipping sauce. I highly recommend.“

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

“Once I found Katsuya, I had a wonderful meal. If you go, walk past Whole Foods, Peloton and a half dozen potted trees. It is upstairs but there is an elevator. I had hamachi carpaccio - best I've very tasted, and the Katsuya roll - also very delicious. My server was lovely and the restaurant is beautiful“

“I took my family here and it was good. The price is super affordable and the food is not bad. There are a couple new employees that do not speak English very well but some do. The atmosphere is just amazing from traditional Japanese sitting to normal tables. I will defiantly recommend this place.

Vegetarian options: There is a little section labeled vegetarian and my daughter really enjoyed it.“

“Came here for a birthday dinner Omakase and it exceeded our expectations. Every dish was beautiful and delicious, and the pace flowed wonderfully. Chef Michael was an outstanding artist and guide. Make sure you reserve ahead of time to be able to experience this at the sushi counter. 11/10 - we will be back.“

“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!“

“Sushi by bou is a very intimate dining experience - 8 seats around a counter with the sushi chef telling you what each sushi course is. Omakase - like a chef's menu. This was our second time there and I'm planning to return in April. The fish is fresh, the presentation innovative. We had a flight of sake with the different courses. I have to say that I know nothing about sake but this pairing was delicious. Because the restaurant is small, your fellow diners enhance the experience and that was especially my experience last night. It's a great feeling to share your delight over the food with couples. A great experience. And, of course, we ordered repeats from the omakase menu.“

“Watami Sushi is one of those spots you might walk past without noticing, tucked away on a busy Manhattan street--but trust me, it's so worth checking out. The staff are incredibly friendly, which makes the whole experience feel super welcoming. And the food? Amazing. The sushi is fresh and flavorful, and their omakase is such a steal for the quality you're getting.“

“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.“

“Hunted for an omakase restaurant on our NYC vacation. This is the best meal I’ve had in my life. Not exaggerating. Watching Jiro’s intense focus and passion for his craft makes the experience all the better. I’ll be back any time I’m in NYC.“

“The best sushi I ever had.Friendly chef and attentive staff.“

“Server Xin from Sushi Gama has set a high standard for restaurants in the East Side area! Our server, Xin, was the best part of our experience. Xin displayed wonderful customer service and is by far the best server we've ever encountered. A big shout-out to Xin! He was a wonderful waiter because he provided amazing service and was very attentive. He kept changing out any dirty plates without us even having to ask. We would definitely come back for him!“

“The sushi is very good, top in NJ. Broad variety of fish, good flavors with some really tasty flavor profiles. Their spicy scallop roll is my favorite in this area. Clearly the owner is passionate about what he's doing here. I have eaten sushi all over north jersey and will only go back to a handful of restaurants because I am very particular about food in general but with sushi in particular - this palce is one that I have gone back to once and will certainly come back again. Product has to be super fresh and they maintain very high standards. Constructive criticism....The bathroom area needs to be completely gutted ASAP.“

“I love the clean and intimate setting here! We started with oyster and ikura, followed by king salmon and kampachi amuse bouches, tuna tataki, squid with crab + tobiko, hamachi with shishito, toro with caviar, sweet shrimp with lime zest, sea bream, and king salmon with seaweed. Other highlights included stripe jack, golden snapper, scallop with ikura and shiso, and a beautiful bite of wagyu, tamago, uni, monkfish liver.

My absolute favorites were the Hokkaido Uni, squid with crab, and that wagyu, tamago, uni, monkfish liver combination—it was mind-blowingly good! We ended meal with ube mochi and yuzu cheesecake. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted—highly recommend for an elevated omakase!“

“My girlfriend and I came for the $155 per person omaskase to celebrate our one-year anniversary and I couldn't give more praise to Noz Market. Not only was the sushi absolutely delicious (might have been the best shrimp and squid sushi pieces I've ever tasted), but the service was impeccable. Chef Shige gave an explanation after every piece and definitely displayed some showmanship with the uni. He made the whole experience that much more enjoyable and gave us some good laughs in our conversations with him. Highly recommend for a great omakase experience (especially at the price) and for a pleasant time with Chef Shige.“

“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.“

“Best sushi I ever eat in NYC“

“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.“

“I had a wonderful experience at 34th and 8th avenue location. Bam did an amazing job putting my order together. He was very pleasant and assisted me with my selections. I was very happy with the service that I received and will come again soon. Thank you

Vegetarian options: Lots of different vegetables, Tofu, salad, rice and noodles“

“Great Omakase It will make you fell, that you are in Tokyo“

“Wonderful service, fairly quiet room, perfect food.“

“EVERYTHING IS GOOD! Staff is so nice :)“

“It is a part of a small food court. Seems overall a popular very simple place. I took sashimi: salmon, tuna, yellow tail, and crab stick on a bed of shredded daikon and maybe carrot, separated by shiso leaves. Served with rice. I didn’t expect much and was impressed: fresh and tasty. Will return.“

“Morgan, the chef, has prepared a wonderful menu. We were staying in Midtown east and wanted a wonderful lunch. The restaurant is located on the lower level of Saks fifth Avenue.

The small space is decorated tastefully. The food and wine were superb. We love talking to the chef and were interested to hear how she came up with the menu. The service was fabulous and the team did a great job!“

“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“

“Excellent service and food“

“This is currently our favorite omikase restaurant. The food is always excellent and we appreciate the fixed seating times so it makes it easier to plan an evening.
But please - if you come here, in order to fully enjoy the subtle flavors of the sushi, don’t wear perfume or cologne. Our last two experiences here were somewhat marred by adjacent guests’ overwhelming fragrances. All of the senses should be focused on enjoying this amazing food, and having ones sense of smell assaulted by perfumes distracts from the experience of both the wearer and the people around them. Thanks.
