“I wish I took before pictures of our food. We stopped in after a very long day out and about and the food was so good that we left feeling energized. We got the ocean roll, pork buns, tonkotsu ramen and a spicy tuna onigiri. Everything was delicious!!

The ocean roll was fresh and tasty, the pork buns were just delicious, the ramen was so so amazing- the pork was tender, the broth was so flavorful and all the add ins just did wonders for the the flavor and the spicy tuna onigiri was hands down one of the best we’ve had.

The service was also great! The staff was so friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant was on par and so cute! We cannot wait to come back and are so happy we found our new go to spot 🤗

“Great service and really yummy food.“

“We've been to a bunch of places in the nearby towns that serve the same types of food - boba, ramen, sushi, poke - Pokestop does each of them better than any of the other local places that specialize in only one. Friendly staff, delicious food, I would give it 6 stars if I could.“

“I love this place. My sister and I try to go at least once or twice a month. The food is great, the quality is awesome, and the service is good. You don't have to wait too long for your food. My little sister usually gets her California and shrimp tempura rolls. I get the rainbow roll and the O.M.G roll but everything we've tried is crazy good. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.“

“They have an incredible lunch special for three rolls and a soup or salad for under $15 after tax, which is hard to beat when the sushi is as delicious as it is. Very clean on the inside when I came to pick my food up very friendly staff, and they knew which order was which based on the phone number all in all the great experience.“

“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!“

“This is such a cozy cute place to grab some sushi! We did the all you can eat sushi, every single one we tried was amazing. Everything tasted fresh especially the raw fish! I would definitely recommend coming here! I wish I had taken more photos since the sushi also was presented so beautifully too!“

“We love Tempura Place! We go probably weekly and often order platters for parties. They know us by name and are very friendly with us. We have friends of friends who rave about the party platters we bring. The food is fresh & delicious!“

“Not happy about the 1 hour wait for pick up. But after eating the angry dragon roll, I understand why. And I’ll be back“

“Sarku has been a staple of food courts for as long as I can remember. To be honest, the sushi is really good! We ordered at the front and they made it fresh on the spot. The chicken teriyaki is also very satisfying if you want a healthier option for lunch, it comes with rice and mixed vegetables.“

“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 :)“

“Service was great & food was delicious“

“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?“

“Lived in the area for a couple years and this was my first time visiting this place. Absolutely loved it. Service was excellent but the show stopper is the food. I ordered Spicy Salmon Rolls and they were, for the first time, actually spicy. Everything tasted fresh and portion sizes were above average. Price was average for sushi in the area but I’m not complaining. Will be back for sure“

“Love coming here for the all you can eat sushi! I love how it’s so close to my house for all you can eat sushi! It’s sooo affordable and everything you order is phenomenal! Best prices and fresh sushi! Nikki is so friendly only place I’ll get sushi!“

“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!“

“Sushi lovers heaven! IYKYK. This not so secret spot dishes out the freshest cut ups and inventive sushi combinations and prime sashimi at HALF THE PRICE! You heard me! NO CAP! Be it dinner for two or a larger party, this is the place to go that won’t break the bank. As for quality and presentation: top scores all around! Service is super friendly, courteous and fast. And guess what? It’s BYOB! #winning However, it’s first come first serve and really fills up on the weekends, so plan accordingly. Decor is no great shakes but not what you are here for. So sit back and enjoy the food of the gods served at Masago. You will certainly return time and again! Guaranteed!

Parking: Best thing to do is park across the street in the open multi level parking garage

Kid-friendliness: They truly take care of the kids here.“

Our kids have eaten here since they were 3 and 6 without issue. We celebrate each of their birthdays here, including today!The service is exceptional and they make us feel like family every time. Wonderful place, wonderful owner - couldn’t recommend it enough.

Kid-friendliness: Very welcoming and accommodating. Warm environment.“

“Delicious sushi! Good prices. Lots to pick from - we enjoyed a bit of everything from the sushi menu. They have a few tempura rolls, a few naruto rolls (cucumber wrapped, no rice), and a whole 2 pages for regular and special rolls. I enjoyed everything my table tried. Lots of variety to find something for you!

Lost a star for me on service - vibe is nice but we waited a while to order and receive our check even though there were very few guests dining in on a Friday night. Seems like a great takeout choice otherwise!“

It’s small inside and I’ve never seen anyone eating there, but for takeout this is some of the best sushi in the area.“

“Very good place to grab sushi. I usually get the 2 roll lunch special which is tasty, affordable, and filling. They give you 8 pieces per roll, unlike many places that only give you 6. The staff is very friendly and I've always been served quick. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Sushi is always good! Most of the time everything has been good, but recently it’s been starting to get very very full at dinner time and 2 times i’ve had to wait almost an hour or more for my food. Service is very nice though and is friendly.“

“Masa Sushi stands out for its fresh fish and attentive service.

Sushi rolls are beautifully presented and generously portioned. Dragon Roll was perfectly balanced and the Spicy Tuna tasted fresh with right amount of heat. Can't forget about the delicious Sashimi platters!

A hidden gem in Bergen County, Masa Sushi offers an excellent combination of fresh, high-quality Japanese cuisine in a comfortable setting.

The BYOB policy makes it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions, offering great value without compromising on quality.“

“Special thanks to the young man on the phone and his background colleague for taking the time to help this sushi novice pick out the perfect roll to fit his peculiar tastes. Our family loves it here and I’m happy to finally have a sushi order to join in.“

“Really good sushi and a cute vibe on the inside. They have some pretty creative sushi options too like ones with Thai chilies and pesto?? I wasn't sure how I felt about the pesto on sushi when I tried it but I appreciate the creativity nonetheless. Would love to see one for people who really like spicy food. Also appreciate they have clear soup, one of my favs.

Parking: There's a parking lot across the street by the Walgreens you can park in if you're willing to walk a little bit“
