“excelente restaurante me gusto mucho“

“my sister in law brought us to Gen Sushi and Hibachi. The food was amazing from the edamame appetizer to the miso soup to the fresh sushi and the teriyaki chicken. The four of us were all duly impressed with the food and the service!! Dinner started with warm hand towels provided by our kind and efficient server. Our food was not only served in a timely manner but the presentation was extremely impressive.
As we were finishing we noticed the chef preparing a sushi feast. The boat of sushi designed for a group of regular customers was incredible. One woman told us she drove 45 minutes just to have the fresh sushi. That is a high compliment!!
If you aren’t a fan of sushi the menu offers many other options. We will definitely visit again when we are in town.“

“Good food!🍱 a little bit dimly lit but it’s probably to make it feel and look cozy.“

“It is with a full stomach and heart that I am able to publicly share how wonderful Blu Sushi is. Not only is the fish the freshest, but it run by welcoming and friendly staff, chefs and owners. It is not often that you find a restaurant without any criticisms, but then I found Blu. The dining and take-out experiences are how all food establishments should be run. The staff are clearly happy and supported which makes it, without question, a smaller establishment that I am happy to patronize. If you are reading this and considering ordering or not, just do it. You will not be disappointed with the high quality for a great price . Thank you Blu, for the amazing food and homey feel :)“

“I had an amazing experience at Masago Sushi in Ridgewood, NJ. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The prices are also such a big factor since its so low for such big portions. But what really stood out, was the service. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and quick without ever feeling rushed. They made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. I would like to acknowledge the service of Ashley. She was so nice and really made us know that we didn’t make a mistake going here.

The atmosphere is also a big plus! Warm, clean, and relaxing, with a modern touch that makes it perfect for a casual lunch or a nice dinner out. You can tell they put care into creating an inviting dining environment.

Overall, Masago Sushi delivers great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to everyone!“

“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!“

“Food is very fresh ! Cute place too 👍🏼 BYOB ❤️“

“After being a costumer of this place for years, have noticed a degradation of the quality of the food and the service provided under the new ownership. Prices a much higher and willingness to costumize your order is gone. Won't come back.“

“Food, like always, was very very good. The serving was plenty and the taste unmatched. The menu offers plenty of choices. It was so delicious and plentiful that my wife and I, even giving it the old college try, were unsuccessful in finishing our meal. Well then a takeout is necessary. Something to munch on later.“

“Everything I have ever tried at Yuki has been amazing. The restaurant is super clean and the staff are so friendly and professional. I can’t wait to come again!“

“Excellent food, in a casual setting.“

“I love this place! I've been going for a few years and every time I've gone they've given me a nice meal at a reasonable price. Definitely my go to when I want to get something in town within walking distance. I tried some of their new menu items since they've moved up the street and enjoyed them all 💗 I highly recommend trying the buffalo shrimp roll - the buffalo sauce is really good. It's a great little snack“

“Enjoyed a really good dinner meal 🥘 at this restaurant - MATSUYA Japanese Steakhouse in Saddle Brook, NJ. I started off with an Avocado 🥑 and Crab 🦀 Meat Salad with Wasabi Dressing. Then a nice hot bowl of Japanese Miso Soup 🥣. Then went into that Entree - Sea Scallop Teriyaki with Fried Rice 🍚. Yes this place was slamming!!!!!!! Mentioned it to a guy I know and he said he went there for a meal with his wife. I guess they must be pretty good!!!!!! 😎 👍🏿👍🏿“

“Best Sushi in RIDGEWOOD , easily …..“

“We had a really great experience here! Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The miso soup was warm and comforting, with a nice, balanced taste, a perfect start. The green tea was also excellent and complemented the meal well.

The sushi was definitely the highlight. The Pink Lady roll was fresh, light, and perfectly balanced, while the Volcano roll was absolutely amazing rich, flavorful, and just the right amount of indulgent with a delicious sauce on top. You can tell they use good quality ingredients and take care in how the dishes are prepared.

Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great sushi in the area!“

“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.“

“Arigato is a hidden gem for sushi. I've usually ordered their 2 roll special for takeout but it's at a bit of a discount if you dine in. If you have the time to sit down, it's even more worth it. Their special rolls are amazing, hearty, and tasty! Plus, all of the people there are super nice“

“I am a local resident of Garfield. I enjoy and appreciate Sushi Boy when I can get in. It is a quiet and beautiful venue when you have the opportunity to eat in. The decor is wonderful, as is the food. The prices are great as well. My only complaint is that I have attempted to eat in twice, only to find the doors locked both times. Once an hour before closing, the second an hour and a half before closing. I would rather give my money to a local business than something available through Uber eats. Still a great venue, and although I understand why they would close early, it is unfortunate to show up at their door and then have to walk away.“

“Recently We had dinner here .it was our first time .as soon as I walked in I was attracted by the unique decorations here .it was well themed atmosphere, I felt calming and welcoming and my kids love the fish decorations.

The food here is great . They have creative sushi menu.there is so many exotic rolls you can choose and they offer kids menu .
We ordered the sushi pizza, sushi love boat ,sweet heart roll gyoza and Thai calamari. Everything tested fresh.all very delicious. The service was attentive and friendly.By the way it’s BYOB.

We had a very good dining experience at nori sushi.“

“Great place all you can eat sushi. Service was good and it was clean.“

And the sushi was not only deleicious but it was also fresh. Not to mention the people that work here are wonderful.“

“Had lunch with friends. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was good. Definitely will go back.“

“The food is excellent! The fish is amazingly fresh. I love sushi and I am always looking for quality places. They are my new go-to.

Very quick for take-out as well. Tokyo Sushi is about 15-20mins from my house and the food is always ready by the time I get there.“

“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.“

“Raku Sushi in Ringwood is easily one of the hidden gems of North Jersey. I have been to a lot of sushi restaurants over the years, and this place consistently delivers some of the freshest, most delicious food and friendliest service around. Every time I walk through the door, I feel welcomed and appreciated, and that kind of experience is hard to find these days.

The quality of the sushi is outstanding. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and you can tell that a lot of care goes into every roll and every dish that comes out of the kitchen. The specialty rolls are creative, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. No matter what I order, I am always impressed. The fish is fresh, the rice is perfectly prepared, and the portions are generous.

What really makes Raku stand out is the consistency. Whether you’re dining in, picking up takeout, or ordering for a family dinner, the food is always excellent. There are very few places where you know exactly what you’re getting every single time, and Raku has maintained that high standard year after year.

The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and relaxing, making it a perfect spot for a casual lunch, a dinner with family, or even a date night. The staff is always polite, attentive, and genuinely kind. They go out of their way to make sure customers are happy, and you can tell they truly care about the people who come through their doors.

As someone from the area, I can honestly say that Ringwood is lucky to have a restaurant like this. Raku has become a staple in the community, and it is one of those places that keeps people coming back again and again. If you’re a sushi lover, or even if you’re trying sushi for the first time, this is the place to go.

Five stars simply aren’t enough. Raku Sushi has earned its reputation through incredible food, outstanding service, and years of consistency. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic, fresh, and delicious Japanese cuisine. This place deserves all the support it gets, and I will definitely continue coming back for many years to come.“

“Place to go if you Love sushi!“

“Absolutely amazing! Go there!“

“Nagoya Sushi is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a beautiful atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting. The restaurant is also BYOB, which makes for an even more enjoyable and affordable dining experience.

The service is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely focused on making sure every guest has a great experience. And the food? Absolutely incredible. Every sushi roll is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The quality of the ingredients really shines through in every bite.

What makes Nagoya even better is that the prices are very reasonable, especially considering the excellent food, exceptional service, and lovely ambiance. If you’re looking for a fantastic sushi restaurant, Nagoya is a must-visit. I go every Friday and I can’t wait to go back!“

“If you’re at the mall and craving something savory, filling, and fast, Suki Hana delivers exactly that. The Chicken Teriyaki Special is probably the best bang for your buck, and the bentos make for a more complete meal if you’re hungry enough. Just be aware that extras and seafood options can add up quickly.“

“Stopped in for lunch with my wife the other day, our first time here and I'm so happy we came. The food food delicious, top notch sushi, fresh and delicious. The Goyza dumplings probably the best I've ever had, and that Toro just melted in your mouth. We found our sushi spot in the area! Can't wait to come back and try more dishes.“

“I always have such a great experience every time I visit this spot. The staff is consistently sweet, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. They make you feel valued from the moment you walk in. Their service is always quick, friendly, and thoughtful, and they go out of their way to make sure everything is just right.“
