“We stopped here for a quick bite and ended up ordering way more because the food was that amazing! Everything was delicious and service was top tier! Highly highly highly recommend!”
“I’ve been over 5x in the past 5 months and they’ve never failed me. Staff and chefs are amazing. You must get the omakase (Lunch and dinner) or higher premium cuts because they source really really amazing stuff and you don’t want to miss out. The more basic common sushi is also great for more casual. And the omakase stuff that is truly the stand out ? high quality everything”
“Joanne and her staff took such good care of our party. You must go here with your loved ones and experience an amazing atmosphere.”
“First time I had Indian food was a few years ago in NC, and I was NOT impressed. We were up visiting my sister in Ridgewood and we went out for fathers day dinner at Tabla. We ordered a bunch of different appetizers and entrees and we shared them all. I was absolutely impressed. I totally enjoyed EVERY item. I especially liked the curry fish with coconut milk. The service was exceptional and very friendly, it was an entirely enjoyable experience. I heartily recommend this Indian Restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ.”

“A wonderful high-class restaurant with a sophisticated ambiance. The food earns a solid 4-star rating for its taste, offering fair prices for the quality provided. Their crafted beer is exceptional, boasting a great taste that complements the dining experience perfectly.”
“My wife and I recently celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary at From Scratch, coinciding with the restaurant’s 10th anniversary, and it was an unforgettable evening that exceeded every expectation. From the moment we stepped into the warm, inviting space, the staff made us feel like honored guests, with a special nod to the milestone celebrations—both ours and theirs. The atmosphere buzzed with a joyful energy, perfectly balancing sophistication and comfort, as if the restaurant itself was toasting a decade of culinary excellence. The four-course tasting menu was a masterclass in flavor and creativity, each dish showcasing the kitchen’s dedication to crafting everything from scratch. I began with the beef tartare, a delicate yet bold starter. It set the tone for what was to come: precision and passion in every bite. My wife got the eggplant caponata for her first course, a vibrant dish that was both rustic and refined. It was a testament to how From Scratch elevates humble ingredients into something extraordinary. The handmade raviolis were an absolute highlight, each delicate parcel bursting with a silky ricotta filling. The pasta was so tender it practically melted, a labor of love that spoke to the restaurant’s name and ethos. We couldn’t stop raving about the texture—perfectly al dente, yet impossibly light. The mint added a hint of freshness to the dish, that I was originally hesitant about, but I’m happy I gave it a go! For the main courses, my wife got the lamb. Perfectly cooked to a rosy pink, it was fall-apart tender, and had a perfect crust on the outside. The dish was hearty yet elegant. Equally stunning were the scallops, seared to golden perfection with a buttery, caramelized crust. They sat around a small bed of caviar with purple mashed potatoes. Each bite was a harmonious balance of sea and earth. The meal concluded with a ricotta dessert that was nothing short of divine. The creamy, cloud-like ricotta mousse was paired with a coulis with ginger dough crumbs. It was the perfect sweet note to end the evening, light yet indulgent, with flavors that lingered long after the last spoonful. From Scratch isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of craft, community, and unforgettable moments. For our anniversary, we couldn’t have chosen a better place to mark the occasion, and we’re already looking forward to returning to see what the next decade brings for this culinary gem. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a dining experience that’s as heartfelt as it is delicious!”

“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.”
“UPDATE: Theresa – Thank you for your response. We very much appreciated your heartfelt apology and you sending food over this weekend. Everything we had was delicious, and my granddaughter was very happy with her make-up birthday party! Everyone makes mistakes, and we thank you for rectifying the situation in such a polite and decent manner. I am updating my initial review as it is absolutely earned."”

“Love Mr. Moo's icecream it is spectacular 😋 one of my absolute favorite icecream places that serves fresh icecream. It's the cutest place inside this mini mall area. Very popular among Ridgewood residents. But I am also a big fan and have been coming here for years. I give them 100 stars for there creative flavors and ambiance. The value is so worth the trip. You will love it. Wonderful place👍 😋 will be back.”

“Amazing place, owned by amazing people. I have been coming here for years. The bubble tea is the best I have ever had. Try their lychee fruit tea and their mango fruit tea. It’s fresh and yum. They just started catering as well! Needless to say highly highly recommend! Nothing but good things to say!!!”
“If you see a sign that says Tomo Sushi, it's the right place. I was confused because I came for Hama Korean, but I talked to the owner of the restaurant and she said it's Hama Korean. I almost went back home, but I am glad I asked the owner.
I absolutely loved food - especially bibimbap - at Hama Korean and so good.
The sign may say Tomo Sushi, but when I asked the restaurant owner, he said it was Hippo Korean. The owners are the same and the food tastes just as good ^^”

“The most amazing experience ever. Can’t say enough. Both Mary and Philip are the sweetest and were absolutely a pleasure to work with. I had a Valentine’s event on feb15th which needed to be rescheduled to the 22nd and I canceled the order last minute for 30 boxes of chocolate covered strawberries. They didn’t charge me a single cent. I got the same order for the following week and they did an absolutely amazing job. The BEST CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES EVER!!!! I highly recommend them and they have loyal customer for life ❤️❤️”

“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 :)”
“Tried the USR location this morning as it's located around the corner from my office. Front staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful with assisting me to navigate options as a first time visitor. There was no line and I quickly received my to-go order. The ham, egg, and cheese croissant was delicious- fluffy and flaky, not at all greasy, and the perfect cheese pull. Can't wait to return to try desserts and coffee!”
“I come here time to time I wish you would bring back more outdoor tables and chairs like you used to have, you have two tables one of which has only has one chair ? I meet friends and bring my dog and would love to have that option back. Never had a problem with my order or staff here ?”
“I e cream is great, nice building and atmosphere, rude pretentious staff. I came with a 2 year old, she needed a diaper change, they told me the restrooms were closed to customers and only for staff. I got my little girl her ice cream and a guy who appeared to be a manager told us to get out because they dont allow indoor seating. it's a shame because the ice cream is great and it's a great location”
“Fantastic place for tapas with BYOB. Tried various tapas from lamb chops, glazed carrots, tuna, smash burger, brie and carparcio. We highly enjoyed each and every one of them. The service was on point. The place is hidden but welcoming once inside. This is not a cocktail place although there are photos on the website and it's known as a speakeasy which is a bit deceiving. However, if you want great tapas, this is the place to go. Will be back!”

“We stopped in to try this place out. The person working was very nice and friendly. He helped guide us a little. I really enjoyed my banana smoothie and my daughters got a strawberry slushy style drink that they keep asking for. We will return for sure. Place was spacious and clean!”
“Great food and service! we had lobster rolls and shared an order of clay strip and fries! was as good as being down the shore. in the past we have had burgers sitting outside with our dogs. the owner would always bring a big bowl of water for them. oh and delicious hand scooped milk shakes! go you won't be sorry.”
“Ridgewood has a lot of ice cream but this is the first DQ. Located downtown by movie theater, it has nice amount of seating and a unisex bathroom. Well staffed. Unfortunately no parking lot per se, se be prepared to park on the street or a couple blocks away at Stop & Shop.”
“I don’t understand some of these bad reviews. This is my favorite sandwich shop and I wish I could rate them more stars. Quality food and amazing service, the staff is always so friendly and does not deserve some of the bad reviews listed here. Yes it gets busy, but they are always very kind and respectful and the food is always amazing busy or not. 10/10 ??”

“The Best Food and Service 👍👍👍👍”
“Just an overall great atmosphere! One or two more items on the menu would be nice; and the fried calamari were more like baby calamari. But overall a very nice place. Enjoyed the live band and great customer service.”
“Outstanding food and courteous service. Pretty much a take-out only restaurant. The soup, dumplings and egg rolls are the best. Sherry is a wonderful and caring person.
Parking: easy parking”

Would definitely go again when I'm in the area.”
