50 Best Sushi Bars near Englewood

“I stopped by for a late lunch take out and I was pleasantly surprised.
First, the interior while not large is cozy and very inviting, complete with nice Japanese wall art, and even a stove heater in one section with many Japanese ceramics like tea pots on display.
I ordered a Chicken teriyaki lunch box (bento) - (Entree, $14.50, 4/5) - I was happy with the heft of the bag and upon opening it, food was hot and fresh. California rolls were good and 2 pieces of shumai were crispy and nicely seasoned. Rice was the right portion and chicken was fresh-tasting with good quantity of teriyaki veggies. Some pieces were a bit tough and the seasoning overall did not really permeate, but I didn't mind. I mean, it's lunch special so you can't really expect too much. I was nicely satisfied with this bento - not too much, not too little, and at a great price.

I used to do yoga right next door for years and had never gone in, but now I would like to dine in because they had that nice, cozy and authentic Japanese sushi house vibe that was so inviting + of course, good tasting food at reasonable price. I'll be back!“

“I’ve been to Star Sushi several times now, and every single visit has been great. The owner, Anthony, and his staff are always super friendly and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers — it’s the kind of place where they remember you and your favorites.

The fish is always fresh and the rolls are consistently delicious! My go to is the Star Tower. The amount of fish is very generous and it blends perfectly well with the rice, avocados, roe and sauces. It’s honestly one of the best sushi spots around, both for the food and the people!“

“My favorite sushi place ! Not only do they service the most delicious rolls, they treat you like family ! Awesome cocktails and great atmosphere ! Check out the OMG roll or fiesta !“

“Love this place! Bought my family for the first time and they were amazed at how delicious it was and there is parking! Definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“A must visit every time for me in New York! It’s my 4th visit and I love it every time. Excellent food and service, they were understanding when part of our party was late to the reservation due to travel delays and tried their best to accommodate. They even gave me tea and crackers while waiting for my friends! Gratuity is included in the price (like how they do it in Japan) which is surprisingly refreshing and touching for NYC. The value is unbeatable for omakase and definitely a must try if you like sushi and want to try an authentic and quality omakase experience without breaking the bank.“

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

“Best sushi we’ve ever had! Chicken gyoza was so good. Udon bowl was incredible. Spicy tuna, avocado roll and yellowtail scallion were top notch. Service was amazing. What a find for a meal prior to a concert at Terminal 5. Fantastic pricing as well! Highly recommend.“

“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!“

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

“You don’t expect to find this level of sushi walking down Second Avenue, but Crave Sushi Bar absolutely delivers.

Located at 947 Second Ave in Midtown East, Manhattan, Crave is a Japanese sushi restaurant that blends traditional nigiri with creative, modern bites. It looks understated from the outside, but once the food hits the table, you understand exactly what they’re doing.

The sashimi was incredibly clean and fresh. The thinly sliced white fish in citrus with jalapeño had the perfect balance of delicate texture and subtle heat. Light, bright, and refreshing.

The seared salmon nigiri was a standout. Lightly torched with a touch of sauce on top, rich without being heavy. The seared white fish with sesame and chili had depth and just enough char to bring everything together.

The uni had beautiful texture so I grabbed a photo, but I don’t eat shellfish, so my friend happily handled that one.

One of the more creative bites was the salmon and avocado cube over rice, layered neatly and finished with thin strips of nori. Clean presentation and great balance.

The spicy tuna roll had real texture and flavor, not overly mayo-heavy like so many places.

Even dessert delivered. The warm chocolate chip cookie with melting vanilla ice cream was exactly what you want to end a sushi dinner in Manhattan.

The space feels intimate and relaxed. Perfect for a casual weeknight in Midtown East or a low-key date night.

As someone who spends a lot of time in Midtown Manhattan for real estate, I’m always paying attention to the places that elevate a block. Restaurants like Crave Sushi Bar make Second Avenue more interesting.

If you’re looking for quality Japanese sushi in Midtown East Manhattan that blends traditional nigiri with modern touches, Crave Sushi Bar is absolutely worth a visit.“

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

“My family celebrated my mother’s 60th birthday here and it was an absolute wonderful experience! Can’t say enough great things about the entire staff and the omakase was so fresh and delicious, and they were easily able to accommodate for a gluten allergy in my party“

“Best sushi I ever eat in NYC“

“So happy to have Mikado in the neighborhood!
Came for lunch over the weekend and had such a great experience. The hand roll set and the Super Bowl are a must. The portions were generous and the fish was incredibly fresh. Everything tasted amazing.
The decor is beautiful, the space feels clean and inviting, and the service was immaculate from start to finish.
Will definitely be ordering again and dining in soon. Highly recommend!“

“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 was our 3rd time going to the Times Square Sushi by Bou. It's omakase, meaning that the chef prepares and chooses each course. This restaurant is very small; 8 seats at a counter. But it's a great experience. The chefs will chat with you, explain what they are serving (the fish, the toppings and additions which enhance the flavor). Every time we've been, the experience has been great. And sharing the experience with your fellow patrons is very nice. It's comfortable. The fish are very freah, everything is delicious, You can have a flight of sake or wine or other spirits. I had a non alcoholic yuzu lemonade. It's in the basement of the Sanctuary Hotel. So small you might miss the entrance the first time. But it is well worth the visit. And if I haven't already said it the service is great and the staff are very welcoming. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“Great spot ...............“

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

“I have never had such an incredible experience in a restaurant. It was amazing to watch Chef Takeda work. He obviously takes great pride in preparing each dish in a masterful way. The staff were professional and polite; I felt like an honored guest.

If you love sushi, this restaurant is a must in NYC.“

“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.“

“one of my favorite Korean restaurants in NJ 🤍 @anytime
They serve a wide variety of Korean–Japanese fusion dishes, using fresh ingredients with bold flavors and beautiful presentation.

Highly recommend the Beef Short Ribs — insanely tender and juicy, plus the staff cooks it for you 👌
Another must-order is the Clam & Flour Dough Flake Soup — loaded with clams and packed with deep umami flavor. Absolutely perfect for cozy weather.“

“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!“

“14 course omakase for an hour“

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

“This place has it all - great food and great service. Staff is super friendly. Restaurant is very clean and spotless. Great vibe. We were a party of 7 including kids 3 and 6 and had a great time. Many items for kids. The order was taken quickly and served quickly. Every item was very tasty, fresh and well prepared. We ate here twice in two days.“

“What a crazy night! We rolled home… it was so much food. And it was all delicious. The tuna is super fresh and they were very generous with all the ingredients. Did not give a lot of rice with each piece. The rice was very well seasoned and delicious. What a good deal!“

“Delightful! We were in early after a day of hoofing all over mid-town. We were greeted by our server and seated immediately (like I said, It was early) but un-rushed as we reviewed our options. We both ordered sushi-sashimi combinations as well as gyoza to keep it light. All excellent! The fish was so fresh and perfectly sliced/prepared. An avocado green salad was crisp, fresh and more than enough. The gyoza was obviously made with care, moist and tender. My wine accompaniment rounded out our meal. Our server was charming and helpful“

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

“Once again the Modern Omakase 8 is amazing - the best sushi on the upper east side. The apps were great - seaweed salad and rock shrimp tempura (better thank Nobu). The service is awesome - everyone is happy, smart, friendly and knows the menu and the cocktails.“

“Excellent value for the meal- we have had more expensive omakase that was not as delicious as the Chemistry Room. And the chef even seared my fish because unlike my husband who loves raw sashimi, I prefer the texture of cooked fish. Both the chefs and the servers were very attentive to the guests, asking what was the occasion and bringing out a dessert with candle for one of the guests celebrating a birthday.“

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

“Absolutely amazing. You could not ask for better food, fresh ingredients, traditional, well presented and a fast and efficient service. I could not have asked for more. I recommend the omakase, I could have gone on eating until I burst but had to say stop eventually. Bravo. The best sushi I have eaten in the US, Europe, and Japan.“

“Best sushi I have ever had.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Food was on point and service was fantastic.“

“We were first time been osaka sushi last night , it was very cold outside , but restaurant was very warm , the waitress was very nice and friendly , we didn’t know how it was work about ayce, waitress was very patient to tell me how it is works, we had 3 round sushi and kitchen, everything was great and delicious , we recommend more and more people come to try this sushi spot. Sushi quality was excellent, service was great, price was reasonable, we love this place, we will back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“By far the best sushi in Bergen.
It goes down like butter.
Tears come down with every bite because it's so good
Chef Tim mastered his technique at Nobu and Sushi Noz.
It's a bargain at the current price.“

“The food made by the new guy Kody hit the spot, even tho he’s new he made my bowl perfectly to my needs so that I can enjoy my delicious bowl pain free. (recently had oral surgery) THANK YOU KODY this is the best first real I’ve had in 2 weeks!!“

“My wife and I went to Sushi Jin last night for the first time. It was wonderful on all fronts - the space, the vibe, the freshness, the omakase selections, the assembly, the presentation, and of course, the taste (oishii!). Really good sake, too. Chef Tachikawa took great care of us- he was friendly, gracious, and way capable. Our server (everything else but the sushi), Jean, was also fantastic. We walked out of there satisfied & very happy and thought it was the perfect dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We look forward to our next visit.“

“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.“

“What an amazing experience at this tiny omakase restaurant! We were a group of 4 and we all loved the food and the service. Chef Morgan was terrific in the preparation and explanation of each course. The quality of the fish was excellent and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend it.“

“We found this restaurant by accident, but I can see us making regular visits any time we come to NYC. Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and a great staff. My poke bowl was incredible, and my husband got the sushi bento box. We’ll be getting the large saki during our next visit. We ate our food too quickly before it occurred to me to take a photo!“
