50 Best Sushi Bars near River Edge

“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!“

“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!“

“A hidden gem on the UWS! The lunch omakase is less than $40, and even the premium omakase is only around $60 including tip. Honestly, that’s cheaper than many regular restaurants in NYC, especially for omakase.

The sushi was great, the staff were super friendly, and the service was excellent. Amazing value for the price. Definitely coming back!“

“To us, the best Omakase place in the city. Excellent quality, exceptional service and if you excellent price, especially during the week for lunch time. We have brought our friends, our family visiting us… we have celebrated birthdays and anniversaries here whenever we have had the opportunity to. Just a great place.“

“Great spot ...............“

“We truly enjoyed our time at the sushi bar. My son absolutely loved the experience, especially collecting and disposing of the plates to earn points. The sushi was very fresh, provided it had not been on the belt for too long, and we would also recommend ordering the hot food. The robot was charming, and we enjoyed having it deliver our drinks. We also appreciated the restroom facilities, which featured heated seats and bidets. While we were unsure about the availability of prizes, our waiter kindly provided a charm for our son. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting again in the future.“

“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!“

“TSUMO – UWS was an absolute blast.
We went as a group of six and had such a fun, high‑energy experience from start to finish. The vibe is lively without feeling chaotic, and the staff clearly loves what they do, which makes a huge difference.

The omakase was AMAZING, especially for the price. Every piece felt thoughtful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Starting with the 13 initial pieces was perfect, and we loved being able to add more afterward. It made the whole experience feel flexible and indulgent without pressure.

Great food, great energy, and a format that works perfectly for a group night out. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend. 🍣✨“

“This was a great experience! We were just at Kollection grabbing some kbeauty products.. when we wanted to eat somewhere. We had no wait, and the ambiance when we walked in was so chill. The table lamps are nice. The Bossam was AMAZING! I highly recommend that dish!! Especially with friends! I would do it plain. The seafood pancake was PACKED with seafood! It was light and fluffy! Corn and cheese was everything you would want.. creamy. And cheesy! I would have like a bit more corn I guess. Fun family dinner night out! The servings are good! I wish I could order more, but I’m full!
Shout out to Thomas our waiter! He was nice and attentive. Would definitely come back here again!“

“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!“

“Best sushi / sashimi / poke / boba & everything else on the menu on this side of the Mississippi, actually probably both sides of the Mississippi honestly.
I’ve eaten at many similar style places all over the tri-state area, nothing beats Poke Express

Gina & Tony are the best“

“Sushi by Sea omakase experience was impeccable from beginning to end. Every detail was thought filled, from the warm, fun welcome and attentive service to the exceptional fish selection. Chef Chris created a superb, creative menu. Each bite felt intentional, highlighting the freshness of the fish with subtle details of house made sauces and garnishes that were exceptional.
What makes Sushi by Sea so special isn't just the extraordinary food, but Jay and Chef Chris' genuine hospitality and personal connection that make you feel like old friends at a dinner party.
Arrive as strangers, leave as friends~ truly captures the spirit of this incredible hidden gem.
Bravo, Jay and Chef Chris!!“

“The food here was great. We added this as a random stop on our way home and it did not disappoint. The dumplings were so perfectly crispy. We ordered several different specialty rolls and they food came out so quickly. It's nothing special on the inside but a lot of the best places aren't! Would definitely come back again if we pass along the way.“

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

“Love love love this place! The staff is amazing and the food can’t be beat! My absolute favorite place in Ridgewood!“

“Okinami Sushi offers food that is clean, precise, well-priced and quietly excellent, with none of the excess that has overtaken so many spots. The servers are helpful and kind, and excitedly greet each customer like the Cheer’s bar did for Norm. You leave pleasantly delighted — already calculating when you can reasonably return. Arigato Okinami!“

“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!“

“Just stopped in after seeing on Introvert Girl TikTok. Small spot, seems like they mainly do take out but there are plenty of tables inside, seating for 25. Ordered a spicy salmon roll with tuna nigiri lunch combo and a spicy crab roll - the bill after tax was $19!! Ok, but what about the quality? Amazingly fresh and the chef cuts the tuna so it's perfectly tender, was almost close to Toro consistency but clearly not toro. And it came out with the quickness, maybe 6 or 7 minutes and I had it in my hand and there were two other customers that were waiting inside when I got there that also were served and left before I even got my food. Can't praise this spot enough. Can't wait to try and order a huge platter for the next family gathering.“

“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.“

“I love this restaurant and the menu looks amazing too but the menu looks so bad I don’t want it anymore it’s so good and it’s just a really nice place and I don’t want the restaurant and it’s so much more expensive and I want a good food but it’s so expensive I want a restaurant that“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!"“

“We stopped in for lunch for the first time. We enjoyed beef negamaki, shrimp tempura and a salmon roll. The food came out piping hot and fresh. All was delicious and the price was very reasonable.
The atmosphere was quiet and the dinning serene. We will be back again soon.“

“Definitely one of the most overwhelming and beautiful places that I’ve ever been to try sushi in my whole life, there’s no way to describe how good it was.
We wait a little more of what we expected.
But wait was worth it food was fresh, homemade and delicious, attention it’s def a 1000/10 you feel that you’re in your home, my 5yo daughter mentioned that she was being treated like her grandma treat her (so you can have an idea of how good they were) well, not many words to add.

Definitely coming back even when I have to drive 21 miles to go there“

“One of the best sushi spots I’ve been to! The food is fresh and delicious, and the service is excellent. Highly recommend!“

“Food is so good. I love it. I had the shrimp and chicken hibachi combo“

“This place has the potential of being staple in the harlem neighborhood. It more of Americanized Japanese food that they serve. Which is not a bad thing, this is good place if you want something different but still stay in the familiarity of dishes. Their prices are very fairand give good portion sizes. I will recommend for you to come try it if you never been. It's definitely a place to go for lunch or picking up something quick.“

“The CRAZIEST thing has happened!!!

I have never experienced such high-effort service before. I was out for an early birthday dinner with a few family members, my uncle in particular, enjoys his drinks with ice (lol who doesn’t.) However, after he ordered his signature coca-cola, we were told there was no ice left. Understandably, my uncle was very upset and made it clear to the worker.

Just then, as we were receiving our sushi order, a very kind man named Michael noticed this concern, and told us he was going to the store to get ice. He went out of his way to leave the place, go to CVS, and FREAKING PAID FOR A GIANT ICE PACK JUST TO GIVE MY UNCLE AN ICED DRINK. He basically paid for our drinks if you compare prices. I have never experienced or witnessed this type of outstanding service before.

At first, we didn’t believe it at first, we even bet 5 bucks because we swore we just misheard him. 5 minutes later, he comes back with a giant iced cup just perfect for my uncle to pour his cola in. When was the last time you’ve experienced this?

And on top of that, he served us ice cream dessert on the house!!! We spoke to him for a bit, he even recognized us and where we sat all times we ate here in the past months. He is a very kind man. Shoutout to Michael!!!!!!“

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

“Love this place. Small but clean. I love the plating they look beautiful. The food is delicious we will definitely coming back with my whole family next time ✨✨✨✨✨“

“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.“

“Excellent all you can eat sushi! Everything was fresh, delicious, and the portions were very generous. The restaurant is extremely clean, the service was great, and the food came out fresh and well prepared.

What really stood out was the owner. She is such a sweet, caring, and polite person who genuinely makes you feel welcome and appreciated. You can tell she really cares about her customers and the quality of the restaurant. She’s off to a great start!

Great food, great atmosphere, and even better hospitality. Definitely great sushi spot. Highly recommend, and I’ll absolutely be coming back!“

“Positive vibes and a great experience. I’ve visited this place several times in person, and I’ve also done takeout a couple of times. The most recent time was takeout. I needed to feed a small group and asked about platter offerings, but was told they don’t have any set menus. They asked what I was looking for and made some recommendations to fit my needs and requested budget.

To say that I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. They delivered and then some. It was a combination of various sushi, regular rolls, and specialty rolls.

They also asked about any potential allergies in the group, along with any specific preferences or dislikes.

The food was fantastic in taste and presentation. It was well packed and came with plenty of ginger, wasabi, and miso soup. They also gave me delicious tea while I waited for them to complete my order.

I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.“

“The best korean food in the area. It is a little pricey for the amount, but the quality is always worth it. Been ordering here for 6 years. Their delivery is amazing, food is always hot and fresh. Salmon quality is amazing, so is their teryaki bowls. Doordash delivery is always perfect and timely, they wrap up the soy sauce so it doesn't spill, give freebies from time to time, and even took time to write a note once thanking us. Never once got a bad order. 10/10 my favorite spot to order from.“

“I work nearby, and this is my favourite place to get lunch! Delicious food, but what stands out is the service. Super friendly and accommodating. They’ll customise your order as much as you want, and once when I (clumsily) tripped and dropped my food as soon as I walked out the door they remade my order for free!“

“Great place to eat!! Excellent service.“

“I wish I took pictures of the food before, but the dishes were so delicious I could not wait!
From the entrees, service, and ambiance… everything was perfect!
The owners are extremely hospitable and their commitment to their craft is very evident in their delicious food!
To The Yamada Sushi Team, thank you again for the excellent dinner!“

“If I still lived in the area, I would be dining here at least once a week. But alas, I do not! Once a month, I come in for lunch, and I am never disappointed. The lunch menu is my favorite, with dishes offered only at lunch. Get the Kamo Nanban or the 2 for $20 special! Dinner is also wonderful! Hands down best sushi!“

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

“The restaurant was clean and cozy. My family loves to come here for sushi !! The people are friendly and the owner is very nice. But the greatest part is the food. It’s sooo delicious and fresh. We enjoy coming to Sushi House for our family night outs!!“

“Good sushi, and ramen and udon soups.“

“The food is yummy! Atmosphere is cozy, but not cramped. Good time! 👍🏻“

“Lychee martini and seafood ramen“

“Small place with great food, slightly expensive but you get your food pretty quickly. The food is really good but there is no bathroom

Vegetarian options: Not many but enough for a meal

Parking: Parking right outside on the street and a small lot very. Empty street“

“We had dinner at Matsu on Friday......its a little gem in Hillsdale. We were pleasantly surprised, by the quality and quantity of the food. The Staff went out of their way to accommodate us. They very friendly and warm. It was a most enjoyable dinner. We have ordered food to takeout but hadn't been inside the restaurant since the pandemic.... We will definitely go again soon. It was a great experience and we both recommend you give it a try!“

“Ordered via GrubHub for a late Friday night dinner when the sushi craving hit. I ordered a tuna bowl, and hubby had a salmon bowl. All of the sushi bar bowls come with edamame, miso soup, seaweed salad, kani salad, regular salad (in this case, it was arugula), and avocado. The fish came in huge chunks, lightly marinaded, and tasted fresh. No complaints. I’d order again and try some actual rolls next time. I saw on their menu a pretty good deal for lunch - $12.50 for three regular rolls, so I’ll have to check that out.“

“That Detroit pizza is definitely something else and I mean that in the best way possible. Never heard of Al pastor pizza but this place got it and I ordered it and I don’t regret it. 10/10 food and it was quickly delivered too so thank you for the fast hands“

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