Phenomenal food; seriously Michelin star worthy. Service was impeccable; Ryan and Fredo were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They threw in some extra dessert that was incredible. The biscoff gelato was the perfect ending. Can’t wait to come back. It’s not cheap but if you’re a foodie, this is a must. Place is small so it’s definitely tight in there, but it is what it is. Once we tasted the food, the tight quarters was no longer a concern lol.

Butterfish is an absolute homerun! This is my second time visiting them and it gets better and better. Jojo is an incredible host and his team is kind, knowledgeable, and professional. It's really amazing the amount of work goes into learning all of the different fish and the attention to detail in the presentation. You can tell everyone there truly cares about what they do. I cannot wait to go back!

I was in on Thursday with a friend. Everything was amazing, from the delicious food to the service. When we walked in Frankie the host greeted us with a menu and a smile. Dani our server was very attentive and Julian the food runner was super friendly and knowledgeable! Thank you everyone at Butterfish, a truly unique experience.

Butterfish is an 11 out of 10 and a must try. This is one of the best omakase dinners I have had. The chef is a former Michelin star chef. We were greeted by the owner who explained the menu. This omakase not only featured incredibly fresh and delicious sushi but some really unique dishes, rolls, and appetizers. The restaurant has a cool vibe being a former dentist's office converted to a restuarant. Its BYOB with two wine stores close by, but make sure not to miss the mocktails which are really incredible. The ice cream was mouth watering and had such unique flavors. The service was top. I will defintiely be returning to this restaurant in the near future.

WOW!!! This is by far the best sushi experience I have ever had anywhere. Better than anything in NYC!
We came in on a Wednesday and loved it so much we were back on Sunday... it is UNREAL. We did the Premium omakase at both visits. They were accommodating to our dietary requests too.
Shoutout to the GM JoJo for his help and Ryan our magnificent waiter both nights. The service is impeccable and you won't find a better omakase experience anywhere else! Cant wait to go back.

Our experience at Butterfish was exceptional from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm and intimate, offering a refreshing change from the usual New Jersey dining scene. The space feels elevated yet comfortable — cozy, but not crowded — creating the perfect backdrop for such a special meal.
We chose the Premium Omakase, and it truly exceeded every expectation. Each course was presented beautifully, with careful attention to detail and an explanation that deepened our appreciation for the craft behind it. The fish, flown in daily from Japan, was unbelievably fresh — easily the best we’ve ever had. Every dish built upon the last in a way that felt deliberate and artful.
The mocktails were just as impressive — balanced, inventive, and perfectly paired with the experience.
It’s no surprise that reservations are hard to come by — Butterfish delivers an unforgettable dining experience that’s both elevated and deeply personal.
