50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Northvale

“Beautiful presentation, excellent service, great atmosphere our new favorite place !!“

“Ordered via GrubHub for a late Friday night dinner when the sushi craving hit. I ordered a tuna bowl, and hubby had a salmon bowl. All of the sushi bar bowls come with edamame, miso soup, seaweed salad, kani salad, regular salad (in this case, it was arugula), and avocado. The fish came in huge chunks, lightly marinaded, and tasted fresh. No complaints. I’d order again and try some actual rolls next time. I saw on their menu a pretty good deal for lunch - $12.50 for three regular rolls, so I’ll have to check that out.“

“My family and I's go to spot in Nyack for years now! The cuisine itself is authentic and comforting. Not to mention, Gina is always very attentive to her customers and makes us feel like family. Definitely a must visit for family dinner or date night!“

“Staff treats you like family, love how the place is always decorated, and decoration is included in the prefix menu's, birthday packages for free! Food is great, loove the ceviche and chicken mofongo with white sauce. My son is a fan of their Chowfan. They also cater for parties! To me the most important thing is the music, whether there's a dj or not, the music is great! They play everything!“

“Service was wonderful and sushi was excellent!“

“Amazingly fresh sushi. Traditional Japanese restaurant with great customer service. Expensive but worth it; better quality than any other sushi place around.“

“My wife and her daughter love this restaurant and I can say I certainly cannot blame them. I've only been there a few times but it is one of the best I've been to. I had the Tuna Spicy Naruto (just like the anime) and is was delicious. And if you are celebrating, I recommend the Sake Bomb“

“I love to go here every monday lunch. This is my go to place for bento box. I love the cozy atmosphere of this place and there music. Overall the vibes is relaxing. I love to order there bento box, the moment you dine in, you get served a pickled radish and peanuts. The crispy rice tuna we were raving about. So delicious. I will keep coming back for sure.“

“I absolutely Love This Place. I come here every chance i get, i love the food and the chefs provide cool entertainment 💪🏻“

“Our favorite sushi restaurant ever! And if you're not into sushi, there is something for you too - tempura, hibachi, etc. So very delicious and they are so nice there!“

“One of the best sushi spots I’ve been to! The food is fresh and delicious, and the service is excellent. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The pork tenderloin was one of the best I’ve had, the meat was medium well done which was perfectly tender and juicy, while the outside was nice and crispy. We also ordered one of the udons and the noodles were deliciously chewy. We drove 40 minutes to this restaurant and was so worth it, would highly recommend!!“

“Great service, delish is food! Never disappoints.“

“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.“

“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!"“

“Omakase sushi is best quality and everything is authentic and excellent. Clean soothing atmosphere and great service“

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

“absolutely delicious service was great .🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤“

“Món ăn Nhật Bản ngon nhất tôi từng nếm thử. Tôi rất khuyến khích. Best japanese food I have ever tasted. I highly recommend.“

“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’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.“

“First time in this town, so I stopped by to try their noodles.
I highly recommend it! The chili oil really takes it to another level — the flavor is absolutely amazing.
Couldn’t wait to leave a review and tell everyone: this is a hidden gem of a restaurant!“

“The Umami Bomb is exactly that. the bomb (1990). So good back to pre-pandemic portions and tasty ingredients. Thank God you exist.“

“Truly amazing family owned restaurant where they actually care about what they’re doing. The food quality for the price is just unbeatable and they always add a personalized cherry on top of each order. It may seem a bit chaotic at peak times, it’s just because they are not the extremely commercial NYC restaurant that is designed to serve thousands of people simultaneously.“

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

“Great food, great service! I've been coming here for so long, and I don't think I'll ever stop. The owners are so nice and welcoming, and the sushi is amazing. High quality fish + large portions for great prices? Count me in. I love their lunch specials and they are so generous with their portion sizes if I didn't mention it enough earlier. They have so much on their menu to offer you'll never get bored of the options. Just amazing!!“

“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.“

“Delicious food and great service. *****“

“Miso Teriyaki
(Located inside Riveredge Row Strip Mall)
33 Riveredge Rd.
River Edge, NK 07670

Spicy Chicken Yakisoba Noodles

These stir fried noodles were served with a variety of vegetables and the protein of my choice. I wanted a kick, so I chose spicy chicken for a small up charge. The entree was garnished with sesame seeds. This was a scrumptious plate and I was beyond satisfied.

The portion size was very generous and it is definitely intended for a group of 2.

I decided to explore this location on a whim and I’m glad I did. I’m truly looking forward to return to explore the other dishes, especially anything from the Teriyaki section.

“The CRAZIEST thing has happened!!!

I have never experienced such high-effort service before. I was out for an early birthday dinner with a few family members, my uncle in particular, enjoys his drinks with ice (lol who doesn’t.) However, after he ordered his signature coca-cola, we were told there was no ice left. Understandably, my uncle was very upset and made it clear to the worker.

Just then, as we were receiving our sushi order, a very kind man named Michael noticed this concern, and told us he was going to the store to get ice. He went out of his way to leave the place, go to CVS, and FREAKING PAID FOR A GIANT ICE PACK JUST TO GIVE MY UNCLE AN ICED DRINK. He basically paid for our drinks if you compare prices. I have never experienced or witnessed this type of outstanding service before.

At first, we didn’t believe it at first, we even bet 5 bucks because we swore we just misheard him. 5 minutes later, he comes back with a giant iced cup just perfect for my uncle to pour his cola in. When was the last time you’ve experienced this?

And on top of that, he served us ice cream dessert on the house!!! We spoke to him for a bit, he even recognized us and where we sat all times we ate here in the past months. He is a very kind man. Shoutout to Michael!!!!!!“

“Honestly best sushi & sashimi I ever had in NJ. No joke“

“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 !“

“Hands down the best sushi in westchester no joke. Theres no other place as fresh as this place, their spicy mayo is so different and their sushi is unmatched. Its a hidden gem, i dont even want to write this review so i can gatekeep it and keep it all to myself“

“Positive vibes and a great experience. I’ve visited this place several times in person, and I’ve also done takeout a couple of times. The most recent time was takeout. I needed to feed a small group and asked about platter offerings, but was told they don’t have any set menus. They asked what I was looking for and made some recommendations to fit my needs and requested budget.

To say that I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. They delivered and then some. It was a combination of various sushi, regular rolls, and specialty rolls.

They also asked about any potential allergies in the group, along with any specific preferences or dislikes.

The food was fantastic in taste and presentation. It was well packed and came with plenty of ginger, wasabi, and miso soup. They also gave me delicious tea while I waited for them to complete my order.

I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.“

“Shared chicken teriyaki with extra meat with noodles and veggies- $17. Did the job. Chicken was tender & tasty. Not much taste on noodles and veggies (cabbage/broccoli) but they were not over cooked. 👍 I definitely prefered that it was not overly salted rather than overkill on the salt. Very fast service.“

“Modern restaurant with a cold feel.
Club music was too much & a tad loud. Chefs working at the sushi counter were not engaging at all but looked unhappy. They never said a word, not even hello or good bye. Servers were attentitive & somewhat friendly. Later on a gentleman, maybe the owner, had good energy & greetings. Omakase would have been better if the sashimi was not warmer than room temperature. Ramen at the end was strange & unnecessary. No dessert was included and that would have been better to finish the meal with. Prices are fair. BYOB is a major plus. Next time will not do omakase, as neighboring people were enjoying their a la carte dishes.“

“Thanks Nihon Kai for delivering my sushi you satisfied my cravings. This place has the most super nice staff., highly recommended. Their sushi is so good. Highly recommended this place to anyone looking to dine in around Bergenfield, New Jersey“

“Always delicious & enjoyable. My ‘go to’ place when friends come to town.“

“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!“

“Best Sushi in Yonkers. All the rolls are absolutely fresh and decadent. The quesadillas are excellent as well. A fun mix of Sushi & Mexican. A must go to if ever in Yonkers. I even dare say it is the best sushi in the Bronx. They are located less than 1/3 of a mile from the Bronx border and they deliver to the surrounding neighborhood in the Bronx. The guy who took our order is very amicable. The sushi chef prepares the rolls right in front of you. It was a great experience.“

“Excellent food Excellent service Excellent prices!“

“Had the Omakase Style yesterday. Was amazing. Highly recommend this place“

“Every time I’ve been to Maguro Sushi House in Rochelle Park, the sushi is absolutely delicious. Fresh, made right there on the spot, and full of flavor, it’s the kind of place that just feels good. If you’re a sushi lover, this is the place to go. And if you’ve never tried sushi before, you’ve got to make this your go to spot!

The wonderful owner and friendly staff make you feel right at home in their clean, welcoming space. There are so many delicious options to choose from, and everything is so fresh and satisfying. Whether it’s a cozy lunch or a fun takeout night, it never disappoints. You can’t let this one pass you by, warm, heartfelt, and truly a great experience for everyone. Highly recommend!

Don’t forget to add some of their sweet treats!!!!“

“Sushi was wonderful and the staff was attentive and knew what to recommend.“

“My favorite restaurant!“

“My favorite Japanese restaurant. Chef Bing is not only talented but also creative. Food is delicious and wonderfully presented. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I found this restaurant randomly while running errands, I've lived in the Bronx for 8 years now and this is by far the best pad thai I've had in all of New York. The pad thai was so flavorful and I got the beef with it. I also ordered a passion fruit iced tea and it was the perfect refreshment in this 100 degree weather. I've been seeing the mango sticky rice on TikTok recently and I was happy to see on the menu they also had Mango with sticky rice, which was packed with flavors as well. Will definitely be ordering from here more frequently.“
