16 Best Sushi Bars near Rockaway

“I always like the burrito and i get to make it how i was fresh every time!“

“February 14th, Valentine’s Day and people are leaving this place. 2 chefs working only. A lot of people and waiting time is about an hour. So disappointing“

“Great food. Often busy at nights - especially Friday and Saturday and it can get loud. Never had to wait for a seat for lunch. Service is great but can be slow when crowded. One of the few restaurants that serves red miso soup which I prefer over the more bland white miso you usually get at Japanese restaurants.“

“Ordered for the first time since learning they moved & opened their doors in Morris Plains! They were our FAVORITE restaurant in Cedar Knolls! I’m SO happy to have them ‘back’ (a bit further of a drive, but so worth it!!) Everything was just as delicious as I remembered it being! We’ll be back SOON!!“

“owner is so nice!!! they make their own soy sauce. wasn't salty“

“Best sushi within 100 miles“

“Great 😊 restaurant very nice 😊 people the owner love the food desert 😊⛄️⛄️⛄️🌺“

“The absolute best!! always fresh, always perfect“

“Had a great time. Food was excellent.“

“We had a blast here. Perfect for high schoolers who wanna have a fun time with great food. I’m vegetarian and i had plenty of options and they were all splendid. I would definitely come here over and over again. Servers were extremely friendly.“

“Fun and entertaining 😃 great for birthday celebrations.“

“The food is top notch. From the soup to the sushi. Even the ice cream is delicious. What really bothers me though is the service. There is a 90 minute time limit which I get but when you are rushed to get out by an hour that’s not right. Also when you’re hounding tables waiting to literally take a plate because you have nothing else to do that’s a problem. Finally when you’re coming up to tables and asking them for platters back because you don’t have enough supposedly that’s not good either. Last night I was hounded constantly. Twice I had people tell me to move my sushi to my paper plate because they needed the platter. May I suggest buying more platters. Love the food and yes I know I’ll be back but the service was ridiculous in your face. Don’t come here for date night because they don’t leave you alone“

“Every single plate that we ordered was a piece of art! I visited Thailand and tried to find someplace with a similar kitchen, but all I tried before was just imitation. 181 Howard Blvd has the most unique and talented chief cook! Thanks so much for such a pleasant experience! Even my teenage son, who never comments on his food could not stop expressing his delight!“

“The food was fantastic, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. We have a spirited 3-year-old, and not once did we feel unwelcome—in fact, quite the opposite. Everyone was so warm and kind, and even the sushi chef made a point to smile and wave at our daughter. Those little moments mean the world to us tired parents.

I had the chicken katsu—perfectly crispy, just the way I like it—and the egg fried rice was spot on. Pro tip: skip the soy sauce and squeeze a little lemon over the chicken and rice. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.

My wife ordered the classic roll, which was beautifully prepared, and our daughter had the kids’ chicken hibachi box with noodles. She nearly cleared the plate.

If you’re passing through town, eating here is a decision you won’t regret.“

“From what I shared last time (food being so delicious) very disspointed now. Had to throw everything in the garbage today - sushi rolls (spicy tuna and spicy salmon) did not smell fresh at all, looked very different. Ramen soup was disguisting. We used to love this place, truly loved. But last couple of times food seems not the same. Also Doordash took two hours to deliver instead of promised 45 min- have a feeling they were looking for fresh fish and could not find it - so result was obvious. If a manager reads this message would be nice to talk. Otherwise goodbye Blufin“

“12/23/25: We went here again and found a nice crowd of people have also discovered this hidden gem for fresh sushi and oriental food at a good price. Our new standby for awesomely made sushi! We both had special rolls, of which they make many. All were so good! (See pictures below). I find the prices to be very good and the quality fresh, and well made. And the service is so friendly, too. You really need to try it. This is a BYOB restaurant so bring your bottle of wine or beer and enjoy your dining experience.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
For all you sushi lovers out there.....this is a great one! I'm from out if town visiting and we went here. We did make a reservation but it's really not necessary. The lady that greeted us and waited on us was super nice and friendly! Just the right amount of attention and she alone made for a great visit from that aspect.
The Food: my son had the sashimi plater with a side of avocado. He said it was all fresh and a good amount. I had various rolls after I started with the spicy seaweed salad. It had just the correct amount of aoli spicy sauce.... not too spicy... & just right. And, soooo fresh, plus it was a good sized salad.
I had some eel nagiri and tamago nagiri along with a couple of rolls. I added a delicious California roll, too.
Prices: super right! Not expensive, at all. This is not a break the bank place with pricing that beats all the others locally.
My son and his wife and my grandson will be going here from now on he said. I look forward to going here again when in-state visiting.
Folks, I highly recommend trying this excellent restaurant. I'm am sure that you'll enjoy it as it checks off all the boxes and the sushi is very fresh and well made.
Sorry, but we were so hungry that I forgot the main course pictures.“
