50 Best Sushi Bars near River Edge

“Is it a crazy idea that this place is best in NJ? No. It’s the best!! Good fresh fish is hard to come by, even places in Ridgewood that are fancier rarely have such good fish. Been coming for 15 years even when I lived far away. It’s fairly priced. That means some will find it more expensive compared to what they experienced elsewhere. It’s well worth it! I see all people here who are regulars. Coming for years. That’s because the quality here never fails!“

“I’ve been twice to the restaurant. First time - takeout, second, today, eat there. Food is quite good, generous portions, some unusual touches. Very friendly service. Prices are quite fair. Happy to recommend the restaurant!“

“Absolutely loved our experience yesterday. The basic omakase was delicious at $38, no hidden charges, and staff were lovely. Only slightly minor quibble was everything seemed a bit rushed and a little less peaceful than other places I've been to, but fair enough at that price. I was also a bit surprised at the rudeness of a customer talking on her phone when the staff were trying to engage her. That's not the restaurant's fault but maybe worth having a sign about using phones less and being in the moment more?!“

“Love this place — good, fairly priced sushi. They’ve also eliminated tipping, which I personally support, as I believe establishments should pay their employees fairly rather than relying on customers to supplement their income. The omakase is served at a fast pace, so it might not be ideal if you’re looking for a slower, more intimate dining experience.“

“I’m so glad I got to experience such high-quality Japanese sushi at TAKEDA in New York. Having the omakase dinner here was truly a special and memorable experience — I feel lucky to have had the chance. In my opinion, TAKEDA is the best Japanese restaurant in NYC. Not only was the food outstanding, but the atmosphere and attention to detail made me feel deeply connected to Japanese culture. If I ever come back to New York, this will definitely be one of the first places I return to. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable sushi experience.“

“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!!!“

“Place is quite nice. My friends enjoyed their meals very much. It is a bit tough finding vegetarian dishes here and I wish the restaurant kept at least one or two large vegetarian dishes that arent pork/beef broth based. However, this may already be known to people before they come in, so shouldn't detract from the review. Ambiance and service were great!“

“Went to Choo Choo Train with five friends. Ordered Miso Salmon entree and it was delicious. Salmon was grilled perfectly, broccoli and carrots were cooked well and still crunchy, and mashed sweet potatoes were yummy. Cannot say enough about food and attentive service. Will return...no doubt!“

“I took my family here and it was good. The price is super affordable and the food is not bad. There are a couple new employees that do not speak English very well but some do. The atmosphere is just amazing from traditional Japanese sitting to normal tables. I will defiantly recommend this place.

Vegetarian options: There is a little section labeled vegetarian and my daughter really enjoyed it.“

“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!“

“Cute little place. Always filled with locals and regulars. Evident sign that the place is good. Bumping with efficient take out orders going out all the time. Quick and efficient service. Friendly and helpful staff. And the star of the whole review is that the sushi is impeccable. Fresh, flavorful, tasty, and light. Love love love!

Kid-friendliness: Every time I have been there there have been babies and young kids.“

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

“Haven't been here in over a yr. The food was very good. The owner was extremely nice. We order several sushi rolls for 4, and she gave us a couple of appetizers on the house. The food was fresh and the service was good. Will most definitely be going back.“

“The sushi is very good, top in NJ. Broad variety of fish, good flavors with some really tasty flavor profiles. Their spicy scallop roll is my favorite in this area. Clearly the owner is passionate about what he's doing here. I have eaten sushi all over north jersey and will only go back to a handful of restaurants because I am very particular about food in general but with sushi in particular - this palce is one that I have gone back to once and will certainly come back again. Product has to be super fresh and they maintain very high standards. Constructive criticism....The bathroom area needs to be completely gutted ASAP.“

“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!“

“If you’re looking for incredible food, warm hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere, look no further than Roll House Dragon . This local favorite is truly a gem, and my recent visit reminded me why small-town restaurants often have the biggest heart.

The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, each crafted with care and packed with flavor. I started with the Dumplings , which was fresh, flavorful, and a perfect way to kick off the meal. For the main course, I opted for the chicken teriyaki bowl the flavors were absolutely divine, and the portion size was generous without being overwhelming.

What really stood out to me was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail was perfect. You can tell they take pride in creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels at home.“

“Recently tried the Las Vegas Sushi midweek lunch special. The Hwe-Dup-Bap was well made, with fresh ingredients, and served with miso soup. We will be returning.“

“Chef Chris NEVER disappoints! Every experience gets better and better… and yes it is an experience! His attention to detail and expertise in marrying the flavors create a phenomenal omakase experience! The venue is intimate, the vibe is chill and chef Chris is the GOAT of omakase in my book! Thank you“

“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!"“

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

“Nice sushi/sashimi Korean restaurant. The food was plenty and tasty. Also, the food was clean. Service was good. Our waitress was present and attentive. The sashimi and sushi variety was good. Decor was traditional for a Korean seafood restaurant.“

“After a very long day, I came in get a bite to eat before I went back to traveling. The food is delicious. The staff is incredible. They will go the extra mile for you (literally). After ordering and eating entirely too much delicious food the couple who owns the restaurant gave me a ride to the bus station. The woman who served me was kind and kept me company while I was alone. Really one of the best experiences I have had in the entire state of New Jersey. Thankful for people like you.“

“Good local sushi restaurant with good variety on menu. Beat of. 3 sushi restaurants in Park Ridge. Good fish quality but not NYC fish 🐟 quality but also not NYC prices. Good value for your money and sushi cravings. Very polite and professional management.“

“This is one of the truly delicious places in New Jersey. I wonder why it isn't more famous. The salmon sushi, in particular, is incredibly rich and fresh. It's not the same taste as what I've had elsewhere. The inari sushi is also very delicious, and it's worth every penny. When you have a tough day, I highly recommend the delicious food from this place.“

“One of the best quality sushi you can find I this side of coast. you can not miss this place“

“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“

“Great sushi! Always fresh! They always get my order right. Staff is friendly and orders are always ready within 20 minutes.I can't say enough about Oishi Sushi! I am never disappointed with my order! DELICIOUS.. Perfect neighborhood spot.“

“PJ Sushi in Fort Lee is a hidden gem for sushi lovers! The freshness and quality of their sushi are consistently impressive, with generous portions that make every bite satisfying. The staff is warm and welcoming, creating a friendly atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. Their PJ Special Roll and Spicy Tuna Combo are standout favorites, packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, PJ Sushi delivers excellent value without compromising on taste. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious, high-quality sushi in Fort Lee!“

“Always great food and service at Nizi“

“I must say this was probably the best sushi I've had. Great 'little' place, two, extremely kind, owners work the restaurant. I had the Tsunami Roll, my daughter had Shrimp Tempura and Pink Lady Rolls, and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! We had one of each Mochi (4), Strawberry, Coconut, Green Tea and Mango...delicious! I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant, great food, service and relaxing place, very nice ownership with great pride in their business.“

“I’m absolutely thrilled with the takeout experience from this sushi restaurant! The quality of the sushi is top-notch, rivaling any dine-in experience I've had. Every piece is fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The packaging is impeccable, ensuring that the sushi remains perfect by the time it arrives at home. The menu offers a fantastic variety, catering to both traditional and modern tastes. The staff is incredibly courteous and efficient, making the ordering process seamless. If you're looking for exceptional sushi roll to enjoy in the comfort of your home, this place is a gem. Highly recommended!“

“The best Japanese omakase restaurant in town!
The food was very fresh and tasty. The chef made each dish right in front of us. All the sushi was fresh and delicious. The staff were kind, and the place was very clean. I had a great time and definitely want to go again!“

“Absolutely amazing! Go there!“

“I consider myself a bit of a sushi snob. IMO, Domadachi is the area’s best sushi and one of the top 3 in New Jersey. The staff is so friendly and they treat you like family when you’re there. The fish is always fresh and the menu is creative.“

“This restaurant has some of the best sushi in terms of flavor and price, which is tough since the competition is stiff in fort lee. Super nice people as well, I’d highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner. If you’re looking for sushi in the area and can’t decide, try sushi house :)“

“Great staff. I should have watched how much sauce was mixed with my food (not enough for me). I think if the sauce was poured directly into the rice bowl, it would have been more flavorful (to mix with the rice). I forgot to ask for eel sauce, great selection. They have shrimp (many places don’t). They had japanese soda too (no ice machine or soda fountain machine dispenser).“

“Best Titanic roll. Best razing roll. Best rainbow roll“

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

“Everything was perfect. small place but big quality.👏🏻👌🏻.“

“Great spot ...............“

“If you're looking for authentic sushi, this is the place to be. The service is top-notch, and the sushi rolls are simply delicious. I've visited many sushi spots across Northern NJ, but this one stands out. The rice is perfectly cooked and has a subtle sweetness, while the sushi is incredibly fresh. Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Highly recommended!“

“Probably one of the most underrated “hole in the wall” spots I’ve been to. Korean couple that owns it is extremely nice and cares about the quality and effort they put into their food. Ordered 4 special rolls and portions were much bigger than you’d expect. Salmon, eel, and tuna were very fresh“

“Thank you guys SO MUCH for satisfying my cravings, this roll I asked for isn’t on the menu, but they went out their way to make it for me🥺 Hit home and brought me good memories, I can’t thank you enough! I will definitely be ordering more often, I work a block away😁 & yes, those are flaming hot Cheetos lol“

“Our company Holiday party was there and it was awesome. The food and service was the best.“

“Great service! Everyone is so nice there and the food comes very fast! One of my favorite restaurants to go to! All of the food there is perfectly handmade!!! Definitely go there!!!“

“My favorite restaurant!“

“Decent price and quality sushi. I had sushi and sashimi platter combo and my family and friends liked it very much!“

“Small restaurant but big flavor.

The chicken teriyaki box is a great deal served fresh with fantastic flavor and came with so many delicious sides. I also tried a couple of sushi rolls and seems like you can't go wrong with any options. I haven't had fresh cuts of fish like that anywhere else! Definitely recommend!“

“Definitely the best sushi in Bergen County. They just remodeled and the place looks great! Booths are comfy and perfect lighting. The staff is super friendly too. Now on to the food: perfectly delicious and presentation was on point!

Vegetarian options: Avocado rolls and vegi tempura!“

“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.“
