“excelente restaurante me gusto mucho“

“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 :)“

“I had an amazing experience at Masago Sushi in Ridgewood, NJ. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The prices are also such a big factor since its so low for such big portions. But what really stood out, was the service. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and quick without ever feeling rushed. They made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. I would like to acknowledge the service of Ashley. She was so nice and really made us know that we didn’t make a mistake going here.

The atmosphere is also a big plus! Warm, clean, and relaxing, with a modern touch that makes it perfect for a casual lunch or a nice dinner out. You can tell they put care into creating an inviting dining environment.

Overall, Masago Sushi delivers great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to everyone!“

“After being a costumer of this place for years, have noticed a degradation of the quality of the food and the service provided under the new ownership. Prices a much higher and willingness to costumize your order is gone. Won't come back.“

“Food is very fresh ! Cute place too 👍🏼 BYOB ❤️“

“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!“

“Food, like always, was very very good. The serving was plenty and the taste unmatched. The menu offers plenty of choices. It was so delicious and plentiful that my wife and I, even giving it the old college try, were unsuccessful in finishing our meal. Well then a takeout is necessary. Something to munch on later.“

“I love this place! I've been going for a few years and every time I've gone they've given me a nice meal at a reasonable price. Definitely my go to when I want to get something in town within walking distance. I tried some of their new menu items since they've moved up the street and enjoyed them all 💗 I highly recommend trying the buffalo shrimp roll - the buffalo sauce is really good. It's a great little snack“

“Nam's Sushi is quite simply the best! Sherry is a great lady! I go there at least once or twice a week! The food is excellent. If you want some great sushi, please go to Nam's Sushi! The food is incredible and the people who work there are so friendly! I love Nam's so much!“

“Service was great & food was delicious“

Highly recommend if you want good quality sushi that never disappoints!“

“This is my new favorite sushi restaurant. I’ve never been disappointed with any of the food I’ve gotten. My favorites are the salmon and tuna fashion rolls but everything is delicious. 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.“

“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.“

“Enjoyed the Hibachi show and food was delish! Great experience for our kids first hibachi!!“

“Sushi was amazing and the vegetables were super fresh!“

“The food here is absolutely delicious and unique flavor. Been eating many times and love them. We always ordered lunch Bento box came with many combinations like Miso soup, salad, california rolls are great. The salmon teriyaki, chicken tonkatsu, shrimp teriyaki and shrimp tempura for the other time were yummy, everything was tasty—truly reflecting professional, high-quality preparation. The best Japanese food in North Jersey, guaranteed.

The location is very clean, the little lady and her partner were very friendly, they made us feel like eating at home with family. Highly recommend!“

“Great food , good service!!!“

“Place to go if you Love sushi!“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here since the mid 90’a and continued when it changed owners. The quality and freshness of fish is superb. They don’t skimp on roll size or fill it with crunch. You get fresh fish.“

“We go out of our way to come to circle farms just for the sushi. They are so good!

Dietary restrictions: I ask them to make vegan sushi.

Parking: Easy parking right off 23

Kid-friendliness: My kids love their options

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp“

“Ordered pineapple chicken for my lunch yesterday Generous portion. Lots of chicken and pineapples It was delicious“

“Great assortment of fresh raw fish- mackerel, white n red tuna, yellowtail, in sashimi sushi platter. Friend had pine box- chicken teriyaki, spring roll n sushi- comes with soup n salad. Food was served quickly and food was delicious.
Crowded on weekend night- does tremendous take out business. Bring your own. Staff is friendly and eager to please.“

“Updating my review because I have since eaten at Masa several times for lunch and dinner, including the omakase course! My original review is included below. Masa is some of the best sushi you can get in the area, and at a reasonable price. The omakase course is sooo good, and at $90 it's much cheaper than other omakase options in the area and in NYC. It is definitely worth the price, and make sure you come hungry! The omakase course is perfect for a nice date night or to celebrate something, especially since you can bring your own champagne or other alcoholic beverages since the restaurant is BYOB. I can't recommend Masa enough if you're in the mood for sushi!

Original review: I always receive great, high quality sushi when I come to Masa. I haven't yet come here for dinner, but their lunch combos are delicious and an amazing value. The food also always comes out quickly.“
