“Wow. This place is incredible! The portions are very good for the price. Awesome presentation. Fast service. Tasty… SUPER tasty. A+ all around.“

“i've been going here a lot for lunch this year and i've always had a great experience.

however, last week i ordered a poke bowl and noticed that they changed their containers from paper to plastic. its not that huge of a deal, but the plastic containers are smaller than the paper but the price is the same. additonally, the vegetables in my poke bowl were not that fresh which was unusual.

it's not too huge of a deal and i'll continue to support this place, but i'll always advocate for more eco friendly choices. if possible, please return to the paper bowls!“

“Absolutely amazing sushi and outstanding customer service!

The food is fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. A special shoutout to Celina for providing such amazing customer service, remembering my daughter’s order, and making the experience even better! The quality of the food and the excellent service make this place the best sushi restaurant in Essex County.

Definitely a returning customer! Highly recommend! 🙌🍱“

“Great place for poke, been there several times at this point and always happy to grab a quick dinner there. A lot of poke places even if I like them have too small portions and I end up needing to order something else or eat soon after, but not here. Portions are solid and worth the reasonable price. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu either.“

“WOW is the word I would use for this place. My buddy ordered takeout and this Special Roll Combo was delicious. 7 rolls each equally delicious. As you could emagine a little expensive but for what you get GREAT VALUE for your $$$. Easily could feed 3 people.“

“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!“

“Great food. Fresh and delicious. We've been going for years. But the lady that works there, not sure if she is the owner or not, her demeanor and attitude is horrible. I'm not sure if she just dislike me and my family but we've also have had friends that have gone there and have said the same thing about her. The sushi team behind the counter are lovely. Everyone else is nice. We are regulars of a few years because of the good but honestly I didn't even know the name of the place because we literally call it mean lady sushi vs other places. I'm really not writing this to be mean but hopefully so that maybe they can work on her attitude with customers of years. It's really a shame bc we never enjoy the meal just the food.“

“This is a fantastic sushi spot that I highly recommend to anyone in the area. The chicken katsu roll was especially delicious — definitely a must-try. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the prices were great. Overall, an excellent experience and absolutely worth a visit.“

“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!“

“excelente restaurante me gusto mucho“

“Everything I have ever tried at Yuki has been amazing. The restaurant is super clean and the staff are so friendly and professional. I can’t wait to come again!“

“I love this place. Delicious food, fast and efficient service. I highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Everything was SO good! I got the fried beef gyoza, 4 spring rolls, and the Family Roll, and honestly every bite was a hit. 🤤 They were out of the drink I wanted, but they recommended the strawberry bubble tea instead, and I’m glad they did! It was definitely on the sweeter side, but sooo good. 😋 Great food, great service, and I’ll 100% be coming back!“

“Service was great & food was delicious“

“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.“

“Arigato is a hidden gem for sushi. I've usually ordered their 2 roll special for takeout but it's at a bit of a discount if you dine in. If you have the time to sit down, it's even more worth it. Their special rolls are amazing, hearty, and tasty! Plus, all of the people there are super nice“

“Raku Sushi is truly a gem!
We were really missing a good sushi spot near West Milford, and finding Raku Sushi was such a pleasant surprise. The sushi is fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared, and everything we’ve tried has been consistently great.
It’s so nice to finally have a go-to sushi restaurant close to home — amazing quality without having to travel far. If you’re in the area and craving great sushi, this place is a must. We’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

“The bathroom was incredibly accessible for wheels chairs /walkers ect. The food was super good i recommend going during lunch time and getting the three roll special. The miso soup was incredible, the best ive had in a while. The staff is friendly and nice.“

“Nagoya Sushi is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a beautiful atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting. The restaurant is also BYOB, which makes for an even more enjoyable and affordable dining experience.

The service is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely focused on making sure every guest has a great experience. And the food? Absolutely incredible. Every sushi roll is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The quality of the ingredients really shines through in every bite.

What makes Nagoya even better is that the prices are very reasonable, especially considering the excellent food, exceptional service, and lovely ambiance. If you’re looking for a fantastic sushi restaurant, Nagoya is a must-visit. I go every Friday and I can’t wait to go back!“

“Hands-down the best sushi in NJ, and probably the tri-state area, including NYC. I worked in NYC for 15 years and this place is superior to any sushi restaurants I went to.“

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

“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.“

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

“After a gig nothing better than sushi snack“

“Great old school neighborhood Chinese restaurant at low prices. Classic renditions of standards like wonton soup, fried rice, egg foo young, and shrimp with lobster sauce are all spot on. The servers work their tails off, and they’re lovely, but unfortunately they’re juggling dine-in and takeout and the latter is voluminous. The decor is dated, but I prefer they keep it that way and not raise prices!“

“One of the best Chinese delivery places near me in Pine Brook. The food tastes fresh.“

“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.“

“Good food at very affordable pricing. BYOB Attentive staff. Good parking. Scenic views.“

“little expensive but food was good a little over the top moment was seeing everyone who had take out they were getting flowers as a thank you.“

“Great service, reasonable pricing and delicious food“

“Good food and good service. Will be back.“

“Uff lo mejor en sushi! Fresco y relajante. 😁“

“Great dinner tonight as always!! Thank you!“

“Great food , good service!!!“

“I went with my daughter on Sept. 9th to celebrate my birthday and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was awesome, the food was great, the staff was friendly and the guests that sat with us were so sweet and friendly. We had lots of laughs during dinner. Thank you again to my princess for making my birthday so special.“

“We came for a quick and relaxing Saturday night meal. We were seated at a booth. The owner served us as she ran around managing all aspects of the business. We ordered scallion pancakes as a shared appetizer and I had a cup of wonton soup. My entree was chicken Mei fun and my dinner guest had pineapple chicken with brown rice. The portions were ample and all food was prepared and presented well. The scallion pancakes were crispy and not dripping in oil. The wonton soup was tasty and not salty. Overall we had no complaints. The business does what appears to be a greater pick up business than dine in. The restaurant decor is pleasant. We certainly will come back.“

“Fresh food. Made to order. Our Friday Girls Night Out. Hibachi, Chinese, Japanese and sushi. Everyone is happy.“

“Had a great time with a great group of people“
