50 Best Sushi Bars near Englewood

“This is a cute escape with great decorations. The food was awesome, now that many Habachi places have closed doors, this is the best place we found to get Habachi. Although we will miss the experience of having them cook in front of you. The fact we have access to the food is enough.“

“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.“

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

“I’ve lived on the Upper West Side for four years now, and Sushi W hasn’t raised their lunch set prices once in all that time—a truly remarkable business practice.

Lately, they’ve also introduced a sake tasting and regional showcase series, offering complimentary sake and seasonal fish from specific regions.

Every visit to Sushi W is a delight; the experience never ceases to amaze me. A huge thank you to Yon-San for continuously delivering such an wonderful experience for us!“

“We were very lucky to have found Sushi YOLO after a last-minute decision to extend our evening in the city. It was an incredible experience all throughout: a homey vibe with great attention to detail from Chef and the entire team and, of course, delicious courses!

We plan to come back to Sushi YOLO when we are in the city again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“PHENOMENAL! I was a little leary of omakase in East Harlem and at the price point, but this place hits it out of the park. Very simple ambiance and decor but made up for by very charismatic service staff and professional cooks. Splurge on the premium omakase, it's worth it for the chutoro...nice and fatty. Will definitely give Sugarfish a run for their money and it's nice to see uptown. Meal can get a little rushed at times given the high turnover; however, the pace keeps it moving. Nice to see this quality food and experience uptown, and I will definitely be back.“

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

“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!“

“Best sushi I have ever had.“

“I've been here a few times. See the same staff every time, and they're great. I got the chirashi once, and now it's all I get. The fish in it is the best I've ever had. Great selection, huge pieces, super fresh, fair price. You won't be disappointed!“

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

“Very very very veryyyyy nice spot. I absolutely love this. It’s quiet but the right level of quiet. The food is absolutely delicious and authentic and the service is extremely quick and all the staff are so kind. The atmosphere is calm and music is very nice. I love this spot DEFINITELY coming back and it deserves more than a 5“

“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 ...............“

“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.“

“This place just opened 6 months ago but the omakase is incredible. 75$ for 13 courses with the different combinations and flavors they put together with the freshest ingredients is hard to come by. If you are going to a Broadway show or are near time square and want a memorable omakase experience to round out your night you can’t go wrong here. I highly recommend it. The cost and location for the incredible experience can’t be beat. Our favorite bites were the shrimp and foie gras and the lean tuna with truffle mushroom. On top of that the environment is an intimate sushi bar setting with just 20 seats so you can see the sushi artist in action from any seat you’re in. 10/10 will definitely be back as soon as we can.“

“Had a fantastic time for our first experience here. Every piece was fresh, my ginger plate never empty (and I never had to ask), and the price is unmatched for the quality.

My favorite pieces were the botan ebi (shrimp), hotate (scallop), and the chu toro. I’m honestly surprised that shrimp made my list, as it isn’t typically a nigiri I enjoy. But this was so fresh, so delicate, and raw — as it should be! I also ordered the special hotaru ika (firefly squid) and kinmadei (red snapper). The ika was particularly unique, but the snapper was my preference of the two special items I ordered at the end.

Husband loved the chu toro. Shoutout to the toro handroll as well.

The sake we ordered — Kikusui Junmai — was light, crisp, dry, and slightly nutty, just like I like it. It paired excellently with the menu.

A group of girls next to us were celebrating a birthday and the sushi creation they made for the birthday girl was stunning. I saw it had toro and caviar and a few other things I couldn’t tell from my vantage point. They finished it off with a quick spray of gold glitter. A beautiful touch.

We are eager to go back and to bring our friends! What a gem to have in the neighborhood. Go go go!

Not pictured: eel, ikura (YUM), chutoro handroll (sorry!)“

“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!“

“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.“

“Had a great time and great food I went here when it first opened after getting 3 stars in the times years ago , now my friend told me chicka from chickalicious is working there on fri and Saturday after retirement from her dessert bar so I went and enjoyed“

“14 course omakase for an hour“

“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!“

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

“The food was fresh. I tried a mix of sushi, rolls, and a few hot dishes, and everything tasted amazing. What really stood out to me was the service, Maria. Even though it was busy, Maria was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly, which I appreciated. I also love how easy it is to grab what you want or order from the screen“

“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“

“I absolutely loved the food the service the fantastic attention to detail and how the entire experience from walking and being greeted by the warm welcome from Jie, Rachel, and the lovely host and everything was amazing!!! Also Xin is great!“

““I had a great experience here. The food was fresh and delicious, especially the omakase set. Staff were friendly and service was quick. The restaurant was clean with a relaxing atmosphere. Prices were reasonable for the quality. Definitely worth visiting!”“

“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!“

“We had a great time at Omakase Shihou. I felt like I was in a Japanese speak easy. It has a secret back room vibe that felt exclusive. The food was impeccable. Well curated and delicious. The chefs know their stuff. The waitress was super nice and helpful as well“

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

“My wife and I came here because we heard great things and I have to say, everything lived up to the hype! The food was excellent and the service was absolutely next level! Co (Ko?) and Vanessa were so attentive and caring. We never had to ask for anything - it’s like they read our minds. They were so kind and made us feel at home and they were extremely knowledgeable about the food that was served. They absolutely made our night; it had been quite some time since we’ve had so much fun! We will be back!“

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

“Koete Omakase provides a traditional sushi omakase experience. There are many omakase spots in NYC, and I chose this spot because I heard they source their fish from the Toyosu market in Tokyo. Currently they charge $140/person for 15 course. From my research for nyc omakase, this is middle range pricing. I also specifically chose Koete Omakase due to their middle range pricing, hoping to have a better experience than the lower pricing spots.

How was it? It was good! Definitely some high quality nigiri and sushi. The experience lasted 1 hour and 30 mins. I dont know what it was, again the experience was good, but it wasnt amazing. Im not sure how much better this spot is compared to the cheaper spots (priced at around $80/person). But I definitely left feeling like my pocket made some sacrifice for this. To be more straightforward, I just feel like it was a bit overpriced.

Koete Omakase again serves some good high quality sushi. But for $140/person, when there are other omakase spots that charge for way cheaper (and probably similar or the same quality), I have mixed feelings. If youre in Times Square, want an omakase, and dont mind the price, definitely come here!“

“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.“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had the sushi lunch set at Okinami in Norwood, NJ, and it was fantastic. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. The set came with sushi, a tuna roll, miso soup, salad, edamame, and tempura, all for just $26. The quality, presentation, and portion size were excellent. Great value for the price, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for fresh sushi in the area. I’ll definitely be back! 🍣“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was on point and service was fantastic.“

“Some of the best sushi in Manhattan Period.“

“I really enjoyed my experience at Sugarfish. The menu is simple and straightforward, which makes ordering stress-free and perfect without overthinking it. The quality of the food is consistently great, fresh, clean flavors. The service was also good, attentive. The vibe is casual, but still feels special. Definitely one of my go-to places for sushi.“

“I had a couple appointments on the UES and was craving something quick to grab on the go. I randomly stumbled into Take Sushi on whim decision. There’s very limited seating but it’s perfect for takeout. There’s a chef making everything fresh to order which you can really taste.

I got the salmon onigiri and it was a 10/10. The portions were actually pretty big and super filling for something so simple. If I’m ever back in the neighborhood, I’d definitely swing by again. It feels like one of those low-key staple spots.“

“consistently bad.

updating review on 5/7 : i gave them another chance, lovely bowl. I think I was getting the wrong thing previously, the Hawaiian bowl or something, where they cooking the shrimp in a way I did not like. I got their poke bowl and it's very tasty and filling. I would give 5 stars, but to balance, I'll give 4.“
