50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Norwood

“The shrimo tempura is a must. Best choice to go for the buffet/eat all you can rather than doing individual orders. It will somewhat come cheaper if you are a groip of 4 at least.

We had left overs and theres a charge doe left overs but the additional charge is not bad. The sushi on the a boat presentation looms great.

I recommend going to this place.“

“This restaurant has quickly become my favorite place!!
The woman who owns it is so sweet and lovely! I love getting her recommendations and she makes all of the banchan and sauces herself!
I've gone several times and have ordered Bibimbap, Soon Tofu soup, sushi, seafood pancake, and chicken fried rice with kimchi. Everything is always so fresh and delicious!
The service is on the slower side (usually take around 45mins+) since they are a small team, but the food is completely worth it, and I personally don't mind the wait.“

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

“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.“

“As a fellow New Yorker who loves Dominican People and Food, this is a MUST-GO!
I got the Chicken Teriyaki Dumplings and Calamari for appetizers “DELICIOUS”
For Main Course I got THE LAMB CHOP w Mashed Potatoes and salad… The Food was excellent and the staff was very attentive and professional… I am definitely going back and they’re open till 2am for Late Night City Dinners you can enjoy… ZORO is a MUST-GO!“

“We love Kobe! We have been coming here for years and the sushi is my favorite in the area!! The newer addition is great with a beautiful new bar. We love the sashimi rolls, especially the Yankee Sandwich roll. Their specialty rolls never disappoint and whenever they have special rolls, we always try them too! Give Kobe a try! You won’t be disappointed.“

“We have been coming here 2-3 times a year for over a decade as a road trip halfway point/lunch/relaxed bypass of the GWB along I-95, and every time it's one of the best meals of the year.
Tastefully decorated small and simple mom-&-pop restaurant with excellent service and fantastic food.“

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

“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.“

“Ordered the Chicken Katsu and Chicken tenders. Both came with sliced cabbage and rice. Both were equally delicious. The breading was perfect and the meat was tender.

They do take reservations and I would recommend making one if you have small children, they have a limited amount of high chairs.“

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

“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 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!"“

“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.“

“Just stopped in after seeing on Introvert Girl TikTok. Small spot, seems like they mainly do take out but there are plenty of tables inside, seating for 25. Ordered a spicy salmon roll with tuna nigiri lunch combo and a spicy crab roll - the bill after tax was $19!! Ok, but what about the quality? Amazingly fresh and the chef cuts the tuna so it's perfectly tender, was almost close to Toro consistency but clearly not toro. And it came out with the quickness, maybe 6 or 7 minutes and I had it in my hand and there were two other customers that were waiting inside when I got there that also were served and left before I even got my food. Can't praise this spot enough. Can't wait to try and order a huge platter for the next family gathering.“

“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.“

“I love this restaurant and the menu looks amazing too but the menu looks so bad I don’t want it anymore it’s so good and it’s just a really nice place and I don’t want the restaurant and it’s so much more expensive and I want a good food but it’s so expensive I want a restaurant that“

“This establishment is a healthy option for me. Today I ordered Chicken & Shrimp Teriyaki with vegetables only. I also had a side of chicken dumplings. As usual, the food was fresh and tasty. This is one of my favorite restaurants to eat in the area. Food that is freshly prepared in front of you is always best.“

“My family has enjoyed Nakahara for several years and it’s always fantastic. The fish is very fresh, the atmosphere is clean and cozy with gentle jazz in the background and the service is attentive and friendly. There are many sushi options in the area, but this is one of a kind!“

“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.

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

“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.👍“

“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.“

“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 ! 👍👍“

“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.“

“If you’re craving a little taste of Hawai’i in New York, this is the place to go! 🌺🌴 The poke is fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. Every bite takes me right back to the islands and brings back those amazing vacation memories. It’s the closest thing to having a little piece of Hawai’i right here in NY! 🌊🍍 A must-visit for any poke lover! ❤🤙🏼“

“Was super excited to try some rolls tonight after a 12 hour work day, but unfortunately after 45 minutes of waiting patiently inside for them to be prepared they still were not ready and hadn’t even been started to be made. Staff not entirely apologetic. Asked for refund and won’t be back.“

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

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

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

“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!!!!!!“

“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“

“We celebrated Father's Day 2022. The food was fantastic. We chose all you can eat. Everything was fresh. We met the owner, very pleasant and the staff are very nice people, they're accommodating, they will give you a 5 star service. Definitely will go back there from Jersey City.“

“Teriyaki One on Fordham is great! The food is fresh and tasty, and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly and quick, even when it’s busy. The place is clean, and the prices are reasonable. Definitely a go-to spot for teriyaki in the Bronx!“

“I've been here in person or ordered many times over the years and have never been disappointed. The food is always good.

If you go in person, the waitress is always super nice! We went in person today and love the pork and chicken katsu plates we got. Large portions and the miso soup and salad were very tasty.“

“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“

“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.“

“Love this place! Bought my family for the first time and they were amazed at how delicious it was and there is parking! Definitely recommend!“

“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.“
