“Best Chinese food since moving from city“

“i've been going here a lot for lunch this year and i've always had a great experience.

however, last week i ordered a poke bowl and noticed that they changed their containers from paper to plastic. its not that huge of a deal, but the plastic containers are smaller than the paper but the price is the same. additonally, the vegetables in my poke bowl were not that fresh which was unusual.

it's not too huge of a deal and i'll continue to support this place, but i'll always advocate for more eco friendly choices. if possible, please return to the paper bowls!“

“Love love love this place! The staff is amazing and the food can’t be beat! My absolute favorite place in Ridgewood!“

“Fresh and delicious! The sweetest people too. I bring my 10 year old daughter four out Mama and Me dates and she LOVES it so much. Please give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great service and really yummy food.“

“Service was wonderful and sushi was excellent!“

“Great food. Fresh and delicious. We've been going for years. But the lady that works there, not sure if she is the owner or not, her demeanor and attitude is horrible. I'm not sure if she just dislike me and my family but we've also have had friends that have gone there and have said the same thing about her. The sushi team behind the counter are lovely. Everyone else is nice. We are regulars of a few years because of the good but honestly I didn't even know the name of the place because we literally call it mean lady sushi vs other places. I'm really not writing this to be mean but hopefully so that maybe they can work on her attitude with customers of years. It's really a shame bc we never enjoy the meal just the food.“

“This is the best hibachi in Bergen county. If you are near montvale or saddle river you need to come and try. The atmosphere was beautiful and all staff were extremely helpful and lovely. The sushi is incredibly fresh and the owner is a very nice person. Would definitely come back again.“

“I've been a customer at Tuxedo Sushi for the past 10 years. Jay, the owner chef has created a restaurant where the fantastic quality of the fish is surpassed only by the artistry of the owner. 10 years and never once has the food been anything but perfect. A rare place where the quality of the cuisine and the service are always consistent.. Thank you Jay !!“

“excelente restaurante me gusto mucho“

“Best Sushi in RIDGEWOOD , easily …..“

“So good . When you order takeout fried food, they wait to the last minute of your delivery time to put the food in the fryer. Don't complain if you have to wait a few extra minutes . To get hot crisp food instead of soggy cold stuff that steamed it self cold in the togo containers. LOVE THEM.“

“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 :)“

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

“The BON bento box was hands down the best choice – everything was fresh, the evening with friends was so enjoyable, and I can’t wait to come back!"“

“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!“

“Heard many great things about this sushi restaurant, so I decided to try it since I was craving sushi. So glad I tried it!!

Got the Lava Crunch, Golden Dragon, and the Buffalo roll. These rolls are so divine and delicious. Especially the lava crunch roll. I 100% recommend this place. I will be coming back!!“

“We had dinner at Matsu on Friday......its a little gem in Hillsdale. We were pleasantly surprised, by the quality and quantity of the food. The Staff went out of their way to accommodate us. They very friendly and warm. It was a most enjoyable dinner. We have ordered food to takeout but hadn't been inside the restaurant since the pandemic.... We will definitely go again soon. It was a great experience and we both recommend you give it a try!“

“Kumo Sushi went above and beyond. We were stuck in traffic and would miss our own dinner party. My order was marked for pickup, but they made sure it got delivered so our guests didn’t arrive hungry. Truly exceptional service—and the food was outstanding.“

“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.“

“The sushi, rolls, and sashimi rice bowl were all incredibly fresh — you could taste it in every bite. The fish was clean and delicate, the rolls were packed with flavor, and the rice bowl was generous and perfectly seasoned. Easily one of the best Japanese meals I've had in a while. I'll definitely be coming back.👍“

“I never liked sushi and ive lived my life hating it. Until i continuosly tried it over and over again. WASABI did the trick. I absolutely loved the experience i had here with my coworkers. And the sushi was not only deleicious but it was also fresh. Not to mention the people that work here are wonderful.“

“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“

“Wonderful supper ! Lovely comfortable atmosphere and fresh beautiful sushi ! Such care in presenting a picture perfect meal and so very fresh ! Something so special about a family owned and run restaurant .. this was my first time there certainly not my last ! 👍👍“

“We like this place a lot! Delicious food😋,great service!😀👌“

“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!“

“Raku Sushi is truly a gem!
We were really missing a good sushi spot near West Milford, and finding Raku Sushi was such a pleasant surprise. The sushi is fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared, and everything we’ve tried has been consistently great.
It’s so nice to finally have a go-to sushi restaurant close to home — amazing quality without having to travel far. If you’re in the area and craving great sushi, this place is a must. We’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

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

“If I still lived in the area, I would be dining here at least once a week. But alas, I do not! Once a month, I come in for lunch, and I am never disappointed. The lunch menu is my favorite, with dishes offered only at lunch. Get the Kamo Nanban or the 2 for $20 special! Dinner is also wonderful! Hands down best sushi!“
