50 Best Sushi Bars near Nutley

“Really nice people and excellent sushi! Cute little place for a date and its byob“

“By far one of the best Korean Japanese restaurants. I’ve been ordering from Sea Shai since 2021/22 & the consistency of the food and customer service is always amazing! The flavor of the food is spectacular. I travel to Sea Shai to pick up my order because it is several neighborhoods away, totally worth the drive. The food is priced fairly for the portion and flavors you are receiving. Highly recommend trying this restaurant out. I cannot get enough of the Bulgogi with white rice platter, A M A Z I N G!

Kid-friendliness: Friendly environment, has big tables available for families who want to dine in.

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, no issues getting in or out the restaurant“

“We love Ninja Sushi! It’s our go-to sushi spot in the area. The food is always so fresh, professionally prepared and the staff is super friendly. Try the OMG roll, because…. OMG, the presentation says it all! It’s where sushi meets comfort food. Delicious.“

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“Got the $50 set menu, really good value. The 9 piece nigiri was really good. Miso black cod and coconut shrimp hand rolls also very good but logistically challenging. Korean chicken app was great, gyoza I didnt love. Place was clean and food was fast.“

“Exceptional goods/services from EXCEPTIONAL people.

It makes me very happy that this exists in a town/area that means a lot to myself and many others.

I encourage everyone reading this, whether you are in the mood for food, milk tea, or other treats, they have you covered here and with a smile and great conversations.

Bless the owners of this establishment that have spent their lives making the lives of others better via their hard work and tasty recipes!!!“

“Absolutely amazing! Mr. Nam makes the freshest, most tasteful sushi I've ever had. He's got a kind heart and is always so sweet to my kids. What a great place!“

“I got so lucky when I randomly stumbled upon this place while getting lunch at work. As someone who loves chicken teriyaki trust me when I say you must try theirs. I have been searching for the last few years all around the bergen county area for the best chicken teriyaki and I have found it here. This is my absolute favorite! I have tried probably 50+ restaurants and nothing can beat this. From the way they prepare chicken, to the homemade sauce they use, the perfectly cooked rice and the avocado, egg and dumplings they add on.... it is one of the greatest combinations i've ever tasted. On top of that, their sushi is always delicious and fresh. If thats not enough, they also have fantastic owners and workers there. I always get a warm greeting, and they're thankful for my patronage. Fantastic all around. I will be back soon... My favorite sushi spot!“

“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.“

“Service was truly excellent and the food was really very special. Excellent and fresh, well prepared sushi dishes. The menu is tremendous.

Free food! Yes they give you things for free. Free platter of salted edamame. I took my leftovers home, because I couldn’t finish my huge lunch portions. They wrapped everything beautifully, included free miso soup and sweets in the bag. They also gave me extra soy sauce wasabi and dishes as well as utensils.

Free probiotic drink after your meal.

I will be returning soon!

Highly recommended.“

“We highly recommend ICCA Sushi, always fresh, delicious and worth every cent. This is a BYOB restaurant if you’re interested in eating in. I usually pick up. In the past during COVID they use to deliver. I am not sure if they do now. Absolutely, incredible! You can go for lunch and dinner if you want!“

“Honestly this is one of the best places I have been recently! I looked on a top rated place and found this one. It lived up to it's name! Sushi was fresh and delicious. We also had perfectly salty edamame and yummy mochi. They even gave us an extra one! If was a very calm place only sushi bar seating but YUM!“

“The restaurant's ambiance was wonderfully atmospheric, enhanced by the lighting. The special cocktails complemented the delicious and fresh sushi. It was absolutely delicious. While the reservation system made the service feel attentive but 60 minutes felt rushed... there wasn't even enough time to chat or take photos.“

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

“I’ve been getting food from here for a couple years and EVERY dish I get from here is delicious. The Maplewood Roll is my favorite roll. The Togarashi Red Snapper is my favorite non-sushi dish. The vegetable tempura, gyoza, dumplings, shumai, Miso soup, Kani, just EVERYTHING IS AMAZING! Always fresh & perfect. I also like to get a ginger dressing (because DUH) and I also get a side of the fire sauce when I get the vegetable tempura. Highly recommend this place!“

“Great service and food. The tuna tartar is amazing and is the best miso soup ever.“

“Always great food and service at Nizi“

“Food was on point and service was fantastic.“

“For a long time, sushi was considered exotic and maybe a little scary. But now one can find it practically everywhere, even in the grocery store. Sushi is a Japanese dish referring to the sour flavor of the vinegared rice.

Translated from Japanese, meaning “looks beautifully flavored,” my partner and I decided to stop for a quick bite at this establishment situated on a busy Boulevard in Hasbrouck Heights.

Upon entering this clean and relaxed vibe as first-timers to Oishi Sushi, we had the entire place to ourselves and decided on a table by the window. They also have a small stool area in front of the sushi chefs.

Their extensive menu comprises a range of sushi rolls, sashimi, and bento boxes.

We opted for the Seaweed Salad, Avocado Roll, and Vegetable Lover Roll.

Food was excellent, presented well, and using the freshest quality ingredients. The Seaweed Salad was a tad salty; otherwise, everything tasted deliciously good. The price and portions were reasonable. The service was quick; the staff was friendly and courteous.

We can recommend this place.“

“My fiancé and I play this alphabet game where we go A-Z and eat at a different restaurant beginning with each letter that we have never eaten at before. Needless to say, this was our “W.” We drove 45 minutes from North Brunswick and it was so worth it, we were truly satisfied. For appetizer we got; scallops butter yaki, chicken katsu, scallion pancakes, clear soup, miso soup, seaweed salad, and mango prawn salad. We ordered 4 specialty sushi rolls; blue crab fantastic, tropical, jersey, and rainbow dragon. For dessert we got bubble tea which was on the house 😊 we will definitely be back to eat here again! The only negative thing I have to say is that the place was very small inside and not many seats available for dine in as most of their business appears to be take out, but the food and service were so good that it cancels that out. Can’t wait to eat here again!“

“Only take out available.... but wonderful service and great food.

Vegetarian options: They have a whole section of the menu for vegetarian/vegan options

Dietary restrictions: They will do anything necessary to accommodate restrictions.“

“Lychee martini and seafood ramen“

“The cutest little sushi spot I’ve been to by far and definitely my favorite! Delicious food and great portion sizes for special sushi rolls!! We were helped by Yoselin who was our waitress, super friendly and welcoming! Can’t wait to be back 🤗“

“Overall it was pretty good! Yamada is a cute little sushi spot in Rutherford with unique antique decor I would say. I’ve tried couple different things and it was good, I can test the freshness from all the dishes I’ve had. The service was great and the prices were affordable. Will be back again.“

“Absolutely fantastic omakase experience! Every dish was thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor. Chef Jayson was incredibly friendly and attentive — you can truly feel his passion and creativity in each course. The service was top-notch, and the entire atmosphere made the night unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience!“

“i recommand to eat at this place because they have a lot of diffrerent type of foods like dominican food and halal food, and I tried out the rice platter chicken one and it was very yummy and tasteful and declious, and the women chief is amazing at her job and hard working person, and I also recommand the buffalo chicken wrap because it very tasteful and brings fries and has avacado and good wonderful chicken in it and also the sushi are so amazing the lady makes it so good and does her job very well and they have respect and manners and will greet you and have patient, Overall I rate this place 10/10 wonderful place I go here all the time.“

“Lychee martini and seafood ramen“

“This is a great local sushi restaurant in Little Falls. The quality is excellent, very fresh, with nice presentation. Tropical Mango and Volcano are two of my favorites, along with the Yellowtail Jalapeno roll which is simple but very satisfying.

Staff is friendly and helpful, and the restaurant itself if very cute and cozy though I haven't had the privilege to dine in yet - but I am looking forward to that!“

“Stopped in for lunch with my wife the other day, our first time here and I'm so happy we came. The food food delicious, top notch sushi, fresh and delicious. The Goyza dumplings probably the best I've ever had, and that Toro just melted in your mouth. We found our sushi spot in the area! Can't wait to come back and try more dishes.“

“Me and my family have been coming here for years and they never disappoint. The sushi here is so fresh, and they have more fish options than any other place I’ve been to. The owners are wonderful and the service is fast and efficient. What’s not to love?“

“Hands-down the best sushi in NJ, and probably the tri-state area, including NYC. I worked in NYC for 15 years and this place is superior to any sushi restaurants I went to.“

“Best sushi restaurant I have EVER been to. It is VERY affordable, the service is amazing!!!! I went with my wife and my son, and they gave use free desert and food for my son. I will be recommending everyone I know to come here. 10/10✨✨✨“

“Delicious, affordable, and very friendly service.“

“The sushi was absolutely delicious, and the presentation of the food was beautiful. The rolls were also really good, with so many varieties to choose from. I also really enjoyed the udon and the salmon bento set—they were full of flavor. The atmosphere inside is warm and inviting, and the wall art is fun and memorable. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. It’s the kind of place I find myself coming back to often.“

“I had a great experience at Maki Sushi while I was in town for work and happened to stumble in for dinner. I sat at the sushi bar and ordered the Sushi Deluxe, which came with 10 pieces of chef’s-choice sushi and a roll — I went with salmon and avocado. Everything was fresh, well prepared, and thoughtfully put together.

Pete, who is both the sushi chef and the owner, was excellent. We struck up a genuinely good conversation while I was eating, and he was friendly, complimentary, and clearly takes pride in what he does. Sitting at the bar felt welcoming and relaxed — the kind of place where you actually enjoy talking to the person making your food.

One small but really impressive detail stood out: Pete noticed I like a little wasabi with my tuna and offered me fresh wasabi without me even asking. For a sushi spot of this size, having fresh wasabi on hand is always impressive — it’s a great little treat, and usually something you only get if you know to ask. That kind of attentiveness says a lot.

The quality of the fish here is excellent. My favorite bite of the night was the salmon belly — rich, buttery, and delicious. The sushi here is definitely geared toward a more classic and approachable palate. It’s simple, clean, and done well, and the quality of the fish and service really shine.

I’m really glad I found this place and will absolutely come back next time I’m in the area. Thanks for a great experience, Pete — maybe next time I’m in town you’ll have some toro on hand just for me.

Highly recommend.“

“The food was delicious. It was a super cute little environment. We went there for my friends birthday. They gave her a dessert for free. I got a dancing eel roll. It was $16 and I was full so I was happy with it. I had so much fun and it was so so yummy“

“The Lunch special was a pretty good deal, the sushi was fresh, order was ready on time, took exactly 7 minutes from the time of order to pick up in the middle of a weekday at lunchtime, that’s saying something for around here these days,, tasty new spot for sushi!“

“Excellent Ramen. Great service. Great little spot. The kimchi they bring you is divine, spicey, and delicious. The Spicey Ramen I had was amazing, even down to delicious bean sprouts. The spring rolls were on point. By far the best shrimp tempora I've had. Simple, light, crisp and delicious. Oh and the house sake was fantastic. If you're in the area, check this place out. It will not disappoint!“

“The sushi is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and hospitable. Thank you Mike for being a great server today.“

“Good spot for sushi! I ordered takeout and loved the spicy California roll—finally, a sushi spot that gets the spice just right! The atmosphere looked inviting, with live music playing and a cozy dine-in setup. I’ll definitely be stopping by again!

The best part is you get a free appetizer with any order of $25 and up.“

“just delicious!!“

“Wow! The fish is so fresh, and buttery, comparable to omakase without the price tag.

I usually don’t order sushi in the summer considering the heat, but this spot has such high quality fish that I’ve ordered 4 times this week in 98 degree weather.

The salmon pieces melt in your mouth, I dream of them.
The tamago is perfectly done, tender, and not too sweet.

The Triple Alliance roll was my favorite. The salmon was perfectly balanced with a bit of spice, sweet eel sauce, & refreshing mango.

Saddle River roll and spicy salmon rolls were also delightful, but a bit too much crunch for my taste.

In my opinion, the dressing that came with the garden salad, not that anyone gets sushi for the salad, needed a bit more ginger and sweetness.

So excited to have found my new go to sushi spot.“

“I've been coming here on-off for about 3 years, I think? It's a lovely, quiet place. I'm rarely in the mood for sushi but from my occasional hunt, the bulgogi roll lured me here. And the simple atmosphere & excellent service made me come back again, and again. Although I don't have many pictures of my dining or pickups from here, I highly recommend the bulgogi or pink salmon special (seared roll)

Pictured below is my recent order of tuna tataki (seared tuna) and a simple rice-out veggie roll, with green tea 🍵“

“Great service and really yummy food.“

“Just happens we be in town and my daughter found this restaurant e we went try the food and see if the all you can eat suhi its like the ones we have in Brazil. this place did not disappointed us. Great variety rich in flavor and presentation. Not to mention that the service is excellent with genuinely welcoming people.
We definitely will be back !“

“fresh... fresh... fresh... we love this place!“
