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.“

“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.“

“Lovely Sushi Space! Don’t miss this family spot! Dropped in with about 16 people they set us up with ease and comfort. Handled with love and dedication. Every necessity curated to feel like we stepped into our home for a comfortable family setting.
One of my favorites in the area!
Great fish and freshness.

Truly, we had such a good time that we simply couldn’t remember to photograph mid dinner, so it’s just a bunch of happy satiated clowns.“

“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!“

“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 was wonderful and sushi was excellent!“

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

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

“We had a wonderful experience! The sushi was incredibly fresh, the ramen was flavorful and perfectly cooked, and everything tasted amazing. Our food arrived quickly, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious sushi and ramen!“

“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 :)“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!"“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“I love PJ Sushi. I’ve gotten their lunch special minimum once a week since I discovered them last year. When I saw their 14$ lunch special, I couldn’t believe how fresh and high quality their sushi is. I have never gotten sick eating here. This spot is truly IYKYK 🔥🔥🔥“

“We were five seconds away from getting hangry and we found this place. we both got the scallion pancakes and the pork ramen. Let me tell you the broth came out hot and plentiful. It was savory and rich. It was such a perfect end to our day. The scallion pancakes were pan fried and not deep fried, which we preferred. They were crispy and soft in the inside. I couldn’t recommend this hidden gem enough.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.

“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.“

“Enjoyed a really good dinner meal 🥘 at this restaurant - MATSUYA Japanese Steakhouse in Saddle Brook, NJ. I started off with an Avocado 🥑 and Crab 🦀 Meat Salad with Wasabi Dressing. Then a nice hot bowl of Japanese Miso Soup 🥣. Then went into that Entree - Sea Scallop Teriyaki with Fried Rice 🍚. Yes this place was slamming!!!!!!! Mentioned it to a guy I know and he said he went there for a meal with his wife. I guess they must be pretty good!!!!!! 😎 👍🏿👍🏿“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is super safe especially with Outdoor dining and super super better than Mamasushi!“

“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!
