50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Hasbrouck Heights

“Sushi and food is pretty good overall but the service at this place is really hit or miss. There are two (I believe) revolving servers/people who answer the phone. The younger server is very polite and friendly. However the other is incredibly rude, on the phone, and in person. I ordered from this place very often in the past but I will no longer be ordering from here. His attitude makes it not worth it for me. Overall if you’re just looking for good sushi this place is fine, but don’t expect good service.“

“Service and food were both amazing! My friend and I got the shumai, house special, shrimp tempura roll, and alaskan roll. The taste was so fresh-we have no complaints whatsoever. The staff was also very accommodating and sweet! We will definitely be coming back :)“

“The food here is absolutely fantastic. The uni series is a must-order, and the washu katsu omurice completely blew me away — easily one of the best things I’ve had in a long time. The green tea cheesecake is delicious too. The staff are all lovely, and you can see why this place stays so busy. We’ll definitely be back, and I can’t wait for their winter special. Highly recommend!🤤“

“Lingo was the perfect choice for a special celebration. I brought my daughter here and the night was great. It’s a beautiful space, genuinely warm and personable staff, and excellent Japanese-inflected food with a creative twist.

We did have one miss: the ribs were too fatty for our taste. But here's where Lingo service stepped in. Without any fuss, they took the dish off the bill and were so gracious about it. That kind of hospitality is rare and says a lot about how they run their restaurant.

Everything else was delicious and the vibe was just right for a celebratory dinner. I'll absolutely be back.“

“Excellent!!! Food, service, atmosphere 👍👍“

“The best homemade udon in town , strongly recommended“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“Service and food were very good. The flavors (12 piece for $100) were often unique, but I wish they would vary the courses a bit instead of all individual sushi. There was no starter or dessert. We were alone in the restaurant for early dinner on Friday and ordered an $87 bottle of sake. I expected a little special treatment or something that said thank you. We spent $340for 2 and there is nothing bad, but also nothing cool or special.“

“Great Service and the foods was delicious. Will come back here again.“

“Wonderful and friendly staff. Delish food.“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“My favorite omakase place in the city that I have been to the most often. Not crazy fancy, but the fish selection and quality just special enough that it’s not a commodity either. I also appreciate the approachable selection of sake. Perfect omakase bar for a quarterly visit :-)

Chef and hosts are all very nice and kind to share stories and experiences.“

“Warm staff and delicious classic Japanese sushi.

The fish was incredibly fresh and the rice perfectly seasoned.

Might be the best spot in the Hudson yard area, and the locals seem to know it based on the take out order rate. Everything was delicious and efficient. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Perfect Food, Great Service, Nice Atmosphere“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“Torien delivers an exemplary yakitori experience. The service strikes a balance between professionalism and warmth. The entire dining experience—from the quality of the ingredients to the thoughtful hospitality—establishes this as a standout destination for Japanese cuisine in New York.“

“Amazing omakase experience.
High quality ingredients and sushi pieces.
Lots of delicious pieces.
The all you can eat at the end was fantastic.
All the fishes are included.
Comfy seating and great customer service.
It's a fun experience and definitely worth it.“

“Pieces were on the smaller side;however the quality and freshness was exceptional especially the Ginki.

Did not enjoy the cold chawanmushi and ark shell

Pricier at $150pp compared to other NYC Omakase, but worth it for the taste. More traditional compared to others which I enjoyed.

Matcha terrine w/strawberry was amazing.

4.5/5 ✨“

“We went to Shogun Omakase in New York yesterday for lunch. My son loves sushi and it was his birthday present (our first time experiencing Omakase). We were blown away! Seriously the best sushi experience (and to be honest, one of our top restaurant experiences) ever. Chef Ryan was an amazing chef and artist, and provided top notch customer service. We highly recommend Chef Ryan and Shogun Omakase to anyone who loves sushi and appreciates fine cuisine. ❤️🎉“

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

“Love Konban so we had to come try their new restaurant in Williamsburg. The backyard area is so cute and airy, and every dish had a unique flavor. The scallops and gomtang were standouts. They also have a beautifully crafted selection of mocktails. We’ll certainly be back to try everything else on the menu.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Fushimi Restaurant! The food was delicious, from the appetizers we ordered to our main course. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks, which perfectly complemented our meal. What truly made our visit exceptional was the incredible service provided by our waitress, Ohmie. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Her warm demeanor and professionalism truly elevated our dining experience. We strongly recommend Fushimi Restaurant, especially because of the outstanding service we received from Ohmie. We’ll definitely be back!“

“We ordered the Duck Shio Soba and Salmon Ikura Soba. The food was overall good. Wished the Duck Shio was sent out hotter as it arrived lukewarm and took quite some time to come out. The Salmon Ikura Soba on the other hand was great and tasted fresh.

Service was alright. I don’t think our server realized we were waiting over 30 minutes for our food. The overall cost was also a bit steep.“

“Randomly decided to dine here before a show at Webster Hall. Every single thing we ordered was absolutely delicious. Teppen gyoza, kimchi beef fried rice, dynamite roll, and mango martini. Definitely plan on returning.“

“We just happened upon this omakase place as we were checking out the store next to it and I am glad we found it! You won’t find your usual omakase course here. The staff at nozomi (Max, Carlos, Jay and the rest of the staff) seek to give a different omakase experience and in my opinion have definitely come up with unique combinations that I have not seen at other omakase courses! From their yellowtail with vietnamese chimichurri to their pana cotta they have thought up of some delicious combinations! Definitely looking to come back again!“

“Our 1st omakaze experience & def not the last! I love the smallness of the place, it makes it special! Everything melts in your mouth! The best Christmas gift ever!“

“Our daughter took us here while we were visiting NY for her graduation for Wagyu Shabu. I normally don't like places with many prices, but since our daughter chose it so we enjoy with her. The prices on the windows are very confusing and more like false advertising for me, the lower prices are for the members which we're not since this is our first time and definitely our last, unless our daughter wants to come here again. So the price is the more expensive one.
For me, I prefer straight forward pricing, so this didn't give me good vibes, it's not the money, just the way they advertising and we have to know what we can only have with the price we chose. The restaurant just gives us the specific menu for what we selected to have then we don't have to be denied for what we chose because we selected gold instead of top of the line menu.
The place is clean and nice.
For $78/per person and only have Australian Wagyu Beef (not really Wagyu) then it's over priced.
We did have some premium beef which I liked because of the marble of fat on the beef quite tender and tasty, but only a sampler or whatever they called it.
Service with one person is quite inadequate but she's very attentive and pleasant, since she had to run the whole restaurant, sometimes forgets things.
The tomato broth was good and everyone liked it.
The seafood plate is OK and our sweet shrimps are sweet. Some snow crab legs, jumbo shrimps, fish fillets, nothing to make me go wow.
The appetizers tempura is crispy and good. The raw octopus is tasty.
The vegetables are fresh and clean.
After they denied me the premium beef sampler, I let my daughter to order everything else and I just enjoyed with the family. My daughter seemed to be happy and ate a lot, so I was happy.
I've eaten enough shabu, hot pot to know that Australian or American Wagyu are overrated, many of them are tough and chewy, not as tender as normal ribeyes or Brisket that I like.
This restaurant Wagyu beef does have marbles of fat in it, so it's tender and not so chewy.
So, for the GOLD menu, I don't think it's worth the $78 but for special occasions, it's OK. I just don't like the confusion of many menu, many prices, and not getting my own menu and get denied for something on the menu because I didn't pay enough.“

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

“I had a great time at Hasaki. From the stairway in to the bathrooms in the back, the place is dripping in a calming, Japanese atmosphere. The service was lovely, all the servers felt friendly and relaxing. The food was exceptional, as sushi tends to be, but the overall experience combined with the quality of the food makes for a nice time.“

“Spectacular yakitori omakase restaurant. You would never guess how good all these different chicken bites taste. Each is unique and overall meal is phenomenal. And for those of you who are gluten free, they do an amazing job accommodating your needs. Highly recommend!“

“This is one of the best Omakase in town. As a lover of omakase, it is becoming one of my favorites. The 17-course meal is to perfection, one piece after the other. The location is fantastic, and the atmosphere makes it want to come back over and over again. The quality of the fish and other ingredients is the best, the pieces are refined to perfection. Highly recommended. If you are a sushi lover, do not miss this one.“

“There is absolutely no reason to go over the Hudson for one of those fancy, overpriced omakase experiences. Butterfish in Rutherford was a 15 out of 10.
JoJo took hospitality to another level, making our entire family feel so special... especially my daughter on her birthday.
And the food? Course after course, it just kept getting better. The name Butterfish couldn't be more fitting because every bite was so fresh it literally melted in your mouth!!

Bravo, JoJo & Team !!
We'll be back. Highly, highly recommend.“

“Party of eight and we all enjoyed everything we ate and drank. 👍 for the kitchen staff on doing everything perfect and quick. The staff was amazing and service was great. I highly recommend the burger 🍔. Will definitely go back.“

“The most gentle, intuitive, good-vibe, caring service. Plus delicious, fresh, flown-overnight seafood. You will find all sorts of people there which makes it even more interesting as you can hear, watch, chat and more while having your meal. Thank you guys!“

“Ramen is good ! Soup is good not so oily Yakitori good with Asahi Beeru !“

“Sushi onakase Shinzo best“

“Came for the Japanese breakfast. I recommend arriving right at the start or a little before if you don’t want to wait. Food was amazing, a bit pricey but nothing too crazy for what you get, and the atmosphere was energizing. Fun spot to shop at or grab a coffee/tea afterwards as well.“

“I went to the original Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare with a close friend, back when the U-shaped counter sat behind the market. It remains by far the most expensive meal I’ve ever had, and in hindsight, it was worth it. More than 20 courses arrived, mostly seafood, and nearly everything felt light, fresh, and incredibly precise. The setting made it even more memorable because something so ambitious was happening behind an otherwise ordinary grocery store.

By the end of the wine pairing, I was inebriated enough that the final courses became a little hazy. The chef was intense and completely professional, but never performative. He was simply executing at the highest possible level and treating the meal with the seriousness its price demanded.

The experience seems to have evolved considerably since then, so take this review with a grain of salt. We absolutely loved the original version of this place. I walked out blown away and would highly recommend it to anyone prepared for the cost.“

“My friend took me here, it was so delicious especially the uni mentai pasta and the tuna carpaccio. So good that I dipped everything in the carpaccio sauce! The atmosphere is very comfy with the dimmed lights and soft sounding music. Service was very attentive, nice and made exceptional by our server, Yuto. 10/10 recommend and I will be coming back!“

“One of my favorite meals I have ever had. I truly did not want to leave. Every dish was fresh, imaginative, and delicious.

Chef Atsushi is able to bring ingredients to life through tempura perfection. This is a truly authentic dining experience. It felt like eating at the dining room of a close friend.

I consider myself lucky to have dined here even once, and I cannot wait to go back.

Thank you Secchu Yokota team for making the meal and celebration so special. Such a wonderful memory.“

“Absolutely amazing food was delicious and the attention of the staff unique.“

“One of the best omakase spots I’ve been to! Everything was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and every piece was delicious and beautifully prepared. Our server was super friendly and attentive, always paying attention to every detail, which made our experience even better. Amazing quality, great service, and an overall wonderful experience. I can’t wait to come back!“

“This place is a must-go when you visit NYC! The atmosphere is beautiful and peaceful, and the hands-on sushi experience makes it so much fun. You get to create your own hand rolls and experiment with different flavors and seasonings. It’s such a unique and delicious experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I lived in NYC for 16 years and wanted to try omakase for the longest time. SoZo finally broke the spell, primarily because this place is immaculately tailored to accommodate all travelers including the lonesome party of one. Food is incredible and a true tasting experience - this is obvious and unnecessary to harp on. The real gem, however, is the ambiance…the staff and overall vibe are one of a kind - elegant, sophisticated , charming, humble, and welcoming. I came alone on a rainy Friday night and had one of my favorite dining experiences ever. Such great conversation, attention, and hospitality. Don’t miss out…I most definitely will be back because I already love this place to pieces. Thank you James, Lee, Olivia, Vincent, and Andy. You guys are amazing!“

“Yakisoba tastes almost the same in Tokyo street food!!!!! Love it!! okonimiyaki is also good! The chicken (karaage style) is also a must try. Another thing i like is they prepare the food fresh. Can’t wait to visit again. :)“

“Great value for lunch omakase in the UES. The $49 lunch set comes with an appetizer, 9 pieces of nigiri, miso soup, and dessert, which felt very reasonable for the quality and amount of food.

The fish quality was good, especially the o-toro and salmon belly. I personally prefer a more traditional/simple style of sushi where high-quality ingredients are served with minimal seasoning, and some pieces here had a bit more toppings or flavor combinations than I usually like. That said, everything was well prepared and enjoyable.

The caramel ice cream dessert was surprisingly delicious and a very nice ending to the meal. Overall, a solid and satisfying lunch omakase with great value.“

“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.“

“A hidden gem! We stumbled upon this place on a walk and decided to grab a bite. We didn’t have a reservation but was quickly seated with a full bar of other diners for the lunch omakase. Great service, yummy food, and unbeatable pricing. This was such a treat! I will make sure to come back when we are in the area.“

“Such a special little Japanese gem. The food is delicious, but what really makes this place stand out is the hospitality. The staff make you feel completely at home; warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The intimate setting makes the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. Just all-around great food, wonderful service, and a place you’ll want to keep coming back to. ❤“
