“This place is our go-to sushi spot since 2019. We’ve tried almost every place in Fair Lawn/Ridgewood/Glen Rock but we anyways return here.Food has never disappointed - consistent and tasty. Our kids have eaten here since they were 3 and 6 without issue. We celebrate each of their birthdays here, including today!The service is exceptional and they make us feel like family every time. Wonderful place, wonderful owner - couldn’t recommend it enough.Kid-friendliness: Very welcoming and accommodating. Warm environment.“
“I came here with my family. We received great service, quick and friendly. The food was great (Crispy Chicken General Tso and tempura rolls), and they had a wide variety of options to choose from on their menu. The establishment is clean and esthetically pleasing. Oh, and is BYB.I would definitely come back again.“
“The staff is super friendly, and the food is amazing! Since I moved to the area I cannot stop ordering from this place (and I have tried allllll the local poke spots when I am saying this)! They are quite literally the best poke around! And their bubble tea is great too! Highly “
“First time at Sushi Story - and it is amazing! I went in for lunch and asked the server for recommendations. After my ginger salad, she brought me Tuna Tataki, which was perfectly prepared and had a touch of smokiness. I couldn’t decide between Seared Salmon Sushi or the River Roll, so I ordered both. It was the best decision ever! The salmon was freshly prepared and melted in my mouth. The Spicy Tuna was delicious and had just a touch of kick, which complimented the richness of the fish. All dishes were fresh, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly, helpful, and courteous, by both the server and the chef, who checked on my satisfaction with the meal. The restaurant is small, with seven tables, and has a bustling take-out service. This is one place not to miss!Kid-friendliness: Welcoming to all agesWheelchair accessibility: Small facility, but easy access for people with limited mobility.“
“This place was so cozy and lovely, with such tasty food and delightful service! It was so kind of the owner to give us so many free samples with our food! We ordered the (very well priced) sushi combos, which were two special rolls with miso soup (and I got a boba and some kani salad) and it was delicious. The owner also gave us a pot of green tea, veggie gyoza, the house salad, and some blueberries at the end. She came over often to ask how we were doing. We ended up with leftovers because there was so much food. It was also a very cute atmosphere with doodles from the customers all over the walls. I would definitely come back!Vegetarian options: There seemed to be at least one vegetarian option in all the sections.Parking: It was relatively quiet when we went so the lot might fill up if there are more customers but I had no problems.Kid-friendliness: There were markers, notepads and a sheet to doodle on, if any customers came with kids. I didn’t but I doodled anyway lol.“
“In the area for work stopped by for a late lunch and compared to the ramen places where I live this place makes me want to move the karaage was the second best I've ever had and the ramen was delightful expecially the egg which I personally don't eat at most places but happy i did here.“
“Have you ever wanted food that takes you back ‘home’? That brings back wonderful memories and tastes that only mom could make? Well, that’s what you will experience at Japino. The best of both worlds - Filipino and Japanese cuisine. You see, the owner, Kim, brings both worlds together in her cooking because of her background.My daughter ordered Udon, my wife, Yakisoba, and I ordered Pork Adobo over rice. Wow!!! And although her Pinakbet had run out by the time we arrived, Kim brought out what she had reserved for herself for me to have some! From the very first bite, we were all speechless. We just had to relish in the delicious flavors that we were tasting! We were each so impressed that we had to share with each other our dishes.And Kim makes you feel at home, treating you like she was mom for our time there. No precooked meals. She cooks it right then and there. Wow, just thinking about our whole experience makes me want to go back for more. Unfortunately, we came from PA 2 hours away, but if we happen to be in the Fair Lawn, NJ area, you can be sure we will be swinging by for Kim’s home cooked food again! We even ordered some more food to bring it back with us to PA. ?If you live nearby, be sure to try Kim’s awesome dishes and wonderful hospitality. You will not regret it. Why such a long review? Because I was so amazed by our complete experience, I wanted to hug Kim for a wonderful time. She said instead of a hug, she asked for a wonderful review. I hope this review makes her feel like she got an appreciative hug. And I hope this makes you want to try Japino. Please tell Kim we sent you?“
“The staff were extremely accommodating and super sweet. And omg the food was to die for. So fresh and portions were amazing and the hand rolls and crispy sushi were also really good. Please try it out if you’re looking for an amazing experience! The best sushi in town!“
“If you're a sushi/special roll lover, you must give this place a try. The food decoration is so beautiful that just looking at it is a pleasure, and it melts in your mouth before you even take a bite. You can feel how sincerely the chef made it. I highly recommend it for any occasion, from small group gatherings to large parties!“
“What can I say. So good. Service / atmosphere /food. We ordered the Chef’s Roll, Salmon Skin, the Caterpillar and Pink Lady. They were all good but my favorite was the Chef’s Roll.The only critic I can add is that seating could be more comfortable. But otherwise just great food.“
“Outside of Tokyo and NYC, this is the best Omakase we have found in NJ. Flavors were amazing ( although not super authentic or traditional) everything was unbelievably high quality and super fresh. The blends of flavors were outstanding. A bit pricey ($150 for 18 pcs) but will definitely be adding it to our must go to places in “
“Easily the best sushi experience I’ve ever had and I will be returning. Servers were so attentive and also knowledgeable about everything I was being served. Great portions, flavors and everything was as fresh as can be. Came for lunch and will be returning for dinner with a bigger party.“
“My partner and I go here as a regular. The shrimp spring rolls with the sauce is great. The inside service is always good. There music and conversation but usually not overly loud. The take out has been late on occasions which means more than an hour in this case. Other wise love it.“
“The BEST restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ! Exceptional service from Xiao. She is amazing and have come back 3x to enjoy the food & see her again. The Seafood Teriyaki Combo is fantastic. They know what they’re doing here & they do a great job of it. Wish I could leave more stars ⭐️“
“We are local but never stopped in before. My wife and I, one daughter and her fiance came in during the week between Christmas and New Years. No one was sitting down but it was a little early and there was a lot of take out order activity the entire time we were there.Three of us ordered a total of 8 different rolls and some rice/noodles for my wife . I has the Crunchy Tempura Shrimp roll and the Cream Cheese roll with crab and I would order both again. Everyone enjoyed their selections and other then the noodles and rice, our plates were clean. My wife took what remained for her noodles and rice home as leftovers. We also ordered the Thai Donut to share for desert, based on other reviewers suggestions, and it was really good.Towards the end of our meal, another 2 groups came in and sat down so we weren't the only ones sitting down to eat. We will come back for sure to get items we liked and try out some others.“
“Service - 3.5 wasn't very tentative Atmosphere - 3.5 way too loud Food - 4.5 i tried $60 omakase ku and it was excellent. I've been to really expensive omakase places and this was pretty up there. My husband had "trust me" and it just looked like regular sashimi. Their sushi was pretty decent. I would definitely come back for omakase. Byob!“
“Very nice sushi place. The taste is great, the quality and the atmosphere of the place is spot on. I tried it once on a whim and now it's my go-to sushi spot. If you love sushi, love trying some new menu items, and want a new go-to spot: I highly recommend this sushi restaurant.“
“I absolutely love this place! I've had sushi, rice bowls, yaki udon and soup from here and have never once been disappointed. Dining in, the service in incredibly fast with very nice servers and I swear my food is always burning hot after my drive home when ordering takeout. I highly recommend and cannot wait to order again soon!“
“We really like Masago! We've been ordering their lunch specials for about a year, and the food has always been fresh and consistent with reasonable pricing for the 3 roll combo. We look forward to it every week. Once you order from them on the phone, you can leave your food and payment preferences on file, so calling them and re-ordering is super quick. Delivery during lunch time is usually within 30 minutes, and they will leave the food on your porch if you ask.“
“We ordered the mizu, kiss of summer, Naruto, jade, and Verona and they were all so fresh and delicious. Lots of fish and lots of flavor. I do think the mango could be more ripe though. Tap water also wasn't my favorite but don't let that prevent you from getting this great sushi. Although we couldn't have any of the sauces that came with the rolls since they had gluten, they did have GF soy sauce which was great. The server didn't have much personality and we did have to reconfirm what sauces had gluten and which didn't and had to ask for a second GF soy sauce as well even though in the beginning we did say there are two of us. Pretty empty at 5pm on a Sunday and plenty of free parking (on Sundays) around the corner.“
“Staff is super friendly and attentive. First time, and they treated us like we've been coming here for years. Rolls are delicious! Above par. Ramen hit the spot on a cold day but certainly not the best in the area. Ani Ramen still retains that title. However, if you're looking for great service, a solid asian fusion selection, and tasty rolls, it's hard to go wrong here. ? They even have some Korean dishes like bulgogi and bibimbap. Overall, happy customer. ?“
“Joy and her husband have an incredible restaurant and provided excellent service tonight. I have had sushi in many big cities across the country and have never had sushi this good nor had food presented in such a beautiful way! Go dine in, you won’t regret it!“
“I went for dinner with my son who loves sushi. We immediately were greeted warmly by the staff and were made to feel comfortable.The sushi rolls, gyoza and soup we ordered were fantastic and the prices were very reasonable. We went for the all you can eat which was a very good value.In addition, they brought us a roll and appetizer on the house. Overall it was a great experience, and I look forward to coming back.“
“Was here on a Thursday for lunch and it was good. Their seared salmon appetizer was good. They torched it and added a smokey flavor to it which was great for me since I like the smokey flavor. The ramen was spicy but good and the Domodachi Lunch set was abundant and good. Parking wasn't bad for a weekday and service was prompt.“
“My sister and I decided last minute to go out to dinner and we landed at Toro Sushi. I actually used Google assistant to call the restaurant for me and reserve a table 15 minutes before our arrival. Toro was half full when we arrived at 7pm on a Saturday but, by 8pm it was full so, our timing was perfect. Everything we ordered was excellent... edamame, tuna avocado salad, Congo roll, New York roll, tuna roll and salmon roll. Service was wonderful. We weren't rushed and food came out quickly. I'm definitely bringing my husband here the next time we visit my sister.“
“Incredible evening. The host and chef treated us like family. Every course was better than the last which seemed an impossible but wasn’t. Chef was attentive to each individual guest making sure we would enjoy every course. It is worth the drive ( we came 90 minutes ). Any meal with pyro gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me. Preparations I have never had before with the highest quality ingredients on the planet. Save up and get a reservation!“
“This is a real gem! Sooo happy to find such a good restaurant. You should go to this place and will never be disappointed, but will be amazed. I ordered 3 rolls - Hot Jenny roll, Christmas roll, and Viki hand roll. I strongly recommend all of these three - the taste was eye-opening (even more delicious than I could imagine in my life!) and I can tell this restaurant uses very fresh ingredients as well as doesn't cheap out on ingredients at all. I could feel the owner's and chef's honesty, professionalism, and kindness from the food and the service. I'm so excited to visit here again with my friends soon! My teenage boy said he'd like to give 11 out of 10 LOL ?Parking: Parking lot is behind restaurant.“
“This was my second visit to Tempura Place. It was a Saturday at 3:30pm. I had never eaten any kind of sushi in my 50 years and I decided to dive in here. I've ordered the spicy tuna and the spicy crab. Sense a theme? I guess a total of one person could technically eat-in but this is primarily take-out. I was informed it would take 10 minutes to prepare but it was done before that. I watched Korean Broadcasting Company on the television as I waited. I experienced pleasant service and great food. Waribashi chopsticks were included.“
“I Love Tawara Mart. It's such a great find to have an authentic Japanese market nestled in the main street of Ramsey. They have just as good a variety of Japanese foods, snacks, & food ingredients. They even rival dare I say exceed in variety of Japanese goods from purses, toys, stickers and more. I once had a nice conversation with the store owner, I believe her name was Kiko; she regularly travels back & forth to Japan to get the latest and greatest from back home so you know it's legit. More people need to discover for themselves this great little slice of Japan right in the heart of Ramsey.“
“I own a business in the same strip next to Sushi Nigiri. I have been ordering Sushi from there since it's opening. I have never written a review until now, but I must say, this place is AWESOME. I'm used to New York City sushi (I live in Manhattan) and this is just as good as most places. I highly recommend this place and I wish this place does more business!“
“Absolutely phenomenal sushi. The nicest place, staff, and food!! Recently moved from the city and had lost hope in finding good sushi - no longer!! Thank god for this place!! May you live long. Shout out to the owners - if you should ever be on the verge of closing, please reach out to me. I now have a stake in your success and will mobilize in the event of your need.“
“I'd been coming here for years then stopped during covid. When I came back recently, the staff remembered me and was very friendly and thankful to see me. That's the kind of service that I prefer over the way too many new, overpriced fancy restaurants in town. It's low key, which I also prefer. The food is very good - my favorite is the mango tango roll.“
“Had Dynamite avocado spicy tuna roll ten piece..was a beautiful presentation and a delicious complex tastes with the avocado which added creamy texture , had the spiciness of the sauce, the tuna, and the sweet crunch of the apple was bursting with layers of flavor. The miss soup was exceptionally good. Would definitely recommend this little gem for any sushi lover. What it lacks in atmosphere it makes up for in flavor. Pricing is reasonable.“
“Tawara is the hidden gem of NJ! I stumbled upon this restaurant during a road trip last year, and have made it a point to return to the area specifically so I can dine at Tawara again. This place makes the list as one of my favorite restaurants of all time. The pork buns are some of the most delicious things you will ever taste. The sunset roll, spicy beef and sashimi have all been fresh and incredible. Everything I’ve tried on their menu is top quality and taste. Raika is also an excellent hostess, bringing a warm and friendly vibe that makes you feel at home. Overall amazing and highly recommended!“
“Fresh and tasty, nice portions and always unique specials on the menu! Service is very good too. However, don't expect a lot of ambiance inside though. The lights are too bright with worn looking decor and dingy walls BUT the food sure makes up for it.“
“So I’ve been ordering take out for the past 8 weeks every week, order is typically 80-90 dollars , I do pick up and pay cash, everytime it has been amazing! Everything is fresh and perfect! Except for last time! It was absolutely a disaster, first I had to wait extra long for my food plus the fish tasted fishy and spicy crab wasn’t even the right color, plus the peanut avocado was falling apart with every piece I couldn’t even eat , I threw out the entire order out I couldn’t handle it! Typically the spicy crab has a rich color but this was pale it looked and tasted disgusting, the kyoza was way way over fried and it was charcoal black on the bottom, I order the sushi that has yellow tail salmon and bunch of other fish and it tasted fish I couldn’t even keep it in my mouth! But prior to this one time the sushi is absolutely amazing“
“I took my very good friend Gary to Kyoto’s to celebrate his birthday. We both had the Sushi Deluxe which was exquisite! Nancy was our server. Her service was excellent. The owner came over to wish Gary a happy birthday and they even made us fried Oreo’s for a delicious birthday desert. It was a wonderful time. Definitely worth the price. I highly recommend going to Kyoto’s.“
“Very good sushi and well priced. You won't break the bank. A variety of lunch specials all very tasty and priced to bring you back. 3 rolls for $12.95 is great compared to other sushi restaurants. The restaurant is small but very well appointed and clean. Service was good, nothing flip over.“
“Well went there Saturday afternoon 330 pm we were seated waiters came took drinks then took order brought the usual food still eating salad when Chef comes to cook. Cooks vegetables first didn't cook broccoli long enough still hard then cooked rice and noodles but what I'm getting at is with no one else in restaurant why the rush and the portion are smaller and prices high will notbe going back for long time if ever will look for new restaurant“
“Absolutely love raku sushi! Affordable, delicious, fresh, great service, and overall a beautiful place to be with great presentation. Ive been here five times so far- definitely reccomend the salmon avacado roll, and the dumplings! They also deliver which is a great perk to those who live close and don't want to drive. 10/10 would recommend.“
“Great food that is as appetizing as the pictures with large portions.The Bento box is definitely the best item to get as it serves as a comprehensive meal with every aspect of flavor and texture:The crispy, crunchy spring rolls and dumplings, the savory main dish, and the sweet salad all complement each other excellently“
“Very professional chef, here provides very fresh food, the taste is very good, The restaurant is very clean. I highly recommend the sashimi here. Their tuna and salmon taste great. I love this place I have been for a lot of times, every time I got amazing food, I highly recommend this restaurant to every one“
“I super enjoyed this place. Ordered for pickup so can't speak to dine-in experience but the place looked nice enough when I stopped in. Looked like a regular sushi joint. We ordered the sushi boat for 4 and it was almost shockingly good. I can be a bit of a sushi snob and this place got everything right. The pieces were presented beautifully, cut to the right size/thickness - and the rolls were delicious. The only piece I didn't eat was the octopus - I don't know something about the texture just threw me. I think that's an octopus problem not a Yuki problem. We also got some appetizers like shumai and rock shrimp that were both fine. Not great. Wouldn't order again - but doesn't impact the overall experience. Price was right. Experience was on point.“
“Inside is very cute! They have bar seating or tables. Our waiter was very thorough and made great suggestions. Everything was fresh tasting and packed with flavor! We had several things from the menu including (not limited to) rock shrimp, kani salad, volcano roll. Everything was delicious!Parking: There’s a private parking lot behind the restaurant“
“The service was excellent. Sushi Lounge is open late. A benefit of those who work until the late in the evening. The specialty sushi rolls are very well thought out combinations of fish, shrimp, and vegetables. The bar is full service with Japanese and American beer on tap.The bar area of the restaurant is separated from the restaurant table area.I look forward to returning and trying more of the sushi rolls. ?Parking: The Sushi Lounge is located in a strip mall on RT 46 West.“
“We came here for restaurant week which was a great deal. You got an appetizer and three specialty rolls. There was a lot of different appetizers to pick from and the vegetable tempura was definitely my favorite. It was light crunchy, and you still tasted the flavor of the vegetables was. The pork gyoza was also really tasty. We had a variety of different specialty rolls. They were all good, not great. We had ginger ice cream for dessert which was outstanding and had little crystals of ginger in it and perfect ginger flavor. I would come back here and try some of the other menu items, Besides the sushi. The place is on a main road but never really noticed it. There is no parking lot so you have to park on the street but we didn't have an issue. It's also BYOB and the service was really nice and they didn't rush us at all.“
“Ordered sushi for 2 and some extra rolls today. As always, excellent service--staff is extremely friendly, and food comes out quickly and looking amazing! And it tastes even better, if you can believe it (and you'd better believe it)! Would recommend this place to anyone, whether you're eating alone, with friends, or with your family (like me & my boys). 10/10“
“Everything we ordered was top notch: a special roll, a cooked gourd roll, and a sushi combo. I’m a little obsessed with the wasabi mayo as well. Excited to go back again!Vegetarian options: There is a whole veggie roll section, but if the kanpayo roll is any indication of the rest of the veggie options, run, don’t walk. My partner loved the tamago off my sushi special as well.“
“Best sushi spot in all of Passaic county. Only sushi spot i come to now. Service is incredible and food is always unreal. Cannot recommend this place more. Top notch spot. Their spicy tuna mango tartar is one of my favorite appetizers to get!“
“This family owned restaurant is the best in town. Food is always fresh and amazing. Prices are great and the chef is always making sure his dishes look like a 5 ⭐️ restaurant.Every time I am able I visit them even though I am a bit far away.“
