“Put this place on the map!!!! A tried a true, best of the best, MUST go to spot when visiting (or living in) NYC. No exaggeration, my boyfriend and I haven’t stopped talking about this place since we visited last year. We’ll finally be back in town next month and are beyond excited to be dining with them again. Did we book a trip just to eat here!? Maybe… probably… because seriously, this place is exceptional. The owner is the sweetest, most delightful human with an incredible story and the food/service is an unmatched experience. Plus, you simply can’t beat their affordable omakasi prices…but the bigger bonus??? BYOB. Bring your wine, bring your tequila, bring neither or bring both. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a party in the most intimate sense. I never write reviews, but Sushi YOLO is a 10/10, so please, do yourself a favor and go see them before they earn that Michelin Star!“

“You cannot beat their happy hour! Each piece of sushi is around double the size of your typical NYC piece. I also got the sushi tacos and those were fun and different from what I typically get. I also got a bottle of the cold sake. I will definitely be coming back here soon!“

“I am a local from New Jersey now living in Germany, came back to visit and was in the mood for a Poke Bowl. I have to say I have been to many poke places and this is THE BEST ONE. Everything tastes fresh. I love that you have many options on creating your bowl. I also had a taro bubble tea and it was delicious! Employees are very friendly and welcoming. I will be stopping here a few more times before I head back to Germany!“

“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!“

“I wish I took before pictures of our food. We stopped in after a very long day out and about and the food was so good that we left feeling energized. We got the ocean roll, pork buns, tonkotsu ramen and a spicy tuna onigiri. Everything was delicious!!
The ocean roll was fresh and tasty, the pork buns were just delicious, the ramen was so so amazing- the pork was tender, the broth was so flavorful and all the add ins just did wonders for the the flavor and the spicy tuna onigiri was hands down one of the best we’ve had.
The service was also great! The staff was so friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant was on par and so cute! We cannot wait to come back and are so happy we found our new go to spot 🤗

“I had an issue with an excess charge on my credit card for a take out order. The owner contacted me and investigated it. He refunded the excess amount and I'm glad they are on top of it. Great customer service and really wanting to make things right.
Overall, I enjoy eating here and I've recommended it to my family and friends. I have tried a couple of their dishes and they are popular for their handroll. Sushi set is also a must. The sea bass is my fave, it just takes a while to be cook because they grill it. My bf likes the hormone don. A good spot for those who wants to try korean/ japanese fusion dish. The take out box sushi set presentation adds a nice touch. ?“

“My girlfriend and I came for the $155 per person omaskase to celebrate our one-year anniversary and I couldn't give more praise to Noz Market. Not only was the sushi absolutely delicious (might have been the best shrimp and squid sushi pieces I've ever tasted), but the service was impeccable. Chef Shige gave an explanation after every piece and definitely displayed some showmanship with the uni. He made the whole experience that much more enjoyable and gave us some good laughs in our conversations with him. Highly recommend for a great omakase experience (especially at the price) and for a pleasant time with Chef Shige.“

“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?!“

“So, let's start with the ramen, I ordered the duck based one. The flavor was just not there and it was under seasoned. Had to add soy sauce because I found a hair in the salt container . I also ordered the beef skewers . Very low quality meat very chewy but I would expect it for 8usd for 2 skewers. The shitske was an extra 3.5 to add on my ramen . With green tea my meal was 32 USD. I expect a lot more for that price.“

“The rolls are fantastic but the wagyu beef steals the show here. Mango roll with tuna is something different and one of my favorites on the menu. The owner is a wonderful man and the place is extremely clean. You can tell how much pride is taken in this place for our community. I highly recommend it.“

“I’ve been over 5x in the past 5 months and they’ve never failed me. Staff and chefs are amazing. You must get the omakase (Lunch and dinner) or higher premium cuts because they source really really amazing stuff and you don’t want to miss out. The more basic common sushi is also great for more casual. And the omakase stuff that is truly the stand out ? high quality everything“

“I would say this is the best Hibachi I have ever had! All are cooked from the top notch fresh ingredients. The sea bass is juicy, the steak is just right, the fried rice and noodles have a pleasant garlic favor which I never had it before at other restaurants , homemade teriyaki sauce adds just right sweetness. We really enjoyed every portion of our plate! Highly recommended.“

“Owned by a married couple, they are both super welcoming when you get inside. They are very kind and make you feel like you're at home because the chef cooks right in front of you and it's pretty cozy in there.
Amazing sushi! It's seriously the best that I have had in my life. The food is fresh with very good quality and delicious flavor. I feel like no other restaurant/place does it like Ino Sushi. The place is also quiet and calm.
When we were leaving, my almost 2 year old brother hugged the owners and they are just soooo nice. Love it here!
Kid-friendliness: VERY kind to kids!“

“As I walked down the bustling city street, my eyes were immediately drawn to a colorful food truck parked at the edge of the sidewalk. The exterior was vibrant, wrapped in bold hues of turquoise and orange, with hand-drawn illustrations of steaming bowls of terrys and stacks upon stacks of yakis, just what i came for. The name of the truck, "Terry and Yaki" was painted in a playful font, inviting passersby to stop and indulge in something delicious. The aroma in the air was intoxicating—a blend of spices, grilled yakis, and something faintly sweet, it was the terry's. It danced through the evening breeze, tantalizing enough to make my stomach rumble, despite the fact that I wasn’t even hungry.
I didn’t eat there, but the food truck looked incredible, a perfect marriage of design and function. The window was flanked by chalkboards displaying the daily specials: "Tuesday Terrys," "Yakis and Yakis" and they switched it up that day with some "Yakis and Terrrys" Each description sounded like a little adventure, a story in itself. I imagined the explosion of flavors in my mouth—the spicy kick of Terry on my soft, soft mouth, the zesty brightness of lemongrass mingling with the tender terry, the crunch of fried yaki wrapped in something soft yet crispy.
A small line had formed in front of the truck, and the people in it were chatting excitedly as they waited for their orders, their faces glowing under the soft lights that adorned the top of the truck like twinkling stars. "Il take a yaki to go, hold the terry" said the valuable customer. The chef, visible through the window, presumably named Terry, but it might be Yaki i dont know though I dont work there. What do I know however, was how he(?) moved with precision and speed, his(?) hands a blur as he(?) expertly plated each dish. He(???) would glance up occasionally, smile, and exchange a few words with the customers, adding a personal touch to the whole experience.
I could sense that this wasn’t just about the food—it was about the moment, the connection between the creators and the consumers. The truck itself, like a moving beacon of culinary creativity, seemed to promise more than just a meal. It was offering an experience, one that would linger long after the last bite. Even though I didn’t order anything, just standing there, observing the scene, felt like being part of a shared narrative, one written in the language of food, atmosphere, and community.
As I walked away, the scent of the food still trailing in the air behind me, I couldn't help but think that one day, I would come back and finally taste what "Terry and Yaki" had to offer.

“Shinbashi is hands down one of my favorite restaurants on the Upper West Side, and it’s one of those rare gems that you just can’t stop visiting once you’ve discovered it. Every time I go, I’m reminded of why I keep coming back—it’s not just the food. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly and kind. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel like family, always greeting you with a smile and ensuring you have everything you need. I am completely addicted to their pork katsu curry udon and bento boxes (that karaage and ginger pork are no joke!). The quality of the food is always top-notch, and you can tell that the kitchen takes great pride in preparing each dish.
If you’re in the Upper West Side and haven’t been to Shinbashi yet, do yourself a favor and go!“

“I am a big fan of Sushi. Today I found my favorite eel dragon roll here. The combination with eel sauce is just perfect! I also tried fried sushi for the first time. It’s really good, with a crispy texture. The owner mentioned that it’s a new addition to the menu by the chef as an “open food.”Although the wait was a bit long, it was definitely worth it.“

“I own a business in the same strip next to Sushi Nigiri. I have been ordering Sushi from there since it's opening. I have never written a review until now, but I must say, this place is AWESOME. I'm used to New York City sushi (I live in Manhattan) and this is just as good as most places. I highly recommend this place and I wish this place does more business!“

“I had an incredible dining experience at this sushi place!
The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, with the fish tasting as if it was just caught.
The service was excellent attentive and friendly, making sure everything was perfect throughout the meal.
The highlight of the evening, though, was the mango panna cotta. It was the perfect way to end a delightful dinner—refreshing, smooth, and bursting with flavor. I cannot wait to return! Highly recommended!“

“I went to Canadian Academy in Rokko Island which is located in Kobe, Japan. So I know a thing or two about authentic Japanese food from Kansai. This place is our go-to place for lunch in Hell’s Kitchen. Their lunch special comes with a salad, soup, and the entree. It will definitely fill you up. Fantastic food, ambiance, and staff! They also have the nicest outdoor seating in all of Mid-town. Highly recommended for anyone that wants to experience real Japanese food and not just sushi. Now that I’ve had everything on their lunch menu, can’t wait to take my family back for dinner!“

“I can't rave enough about this place!
We came for lunch to celebrate our 20 year anniversary and were blown away! The food of course was the best sushi I have ever eaten, but what was even better was our experience. Chef Masa's team led by our man Geno was ridiculously amazing. They took care of us like family and it really felt like a celebration. Thank you for making it such a memorable experience! By the way, we didn't forget about the cigars!“

“If you think you’ve had great sushi before, think again. Sushi Ishikawa, led by the extraordinary Chef Don, takes sushi to a whole new level. The precision of the technique, the freshness of every ingredient, and the unique flavor combinations make every visit an unparalleled journey for the senses. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, adding to the feeling of a truly personal experience. Once you’ve tasted Chef Don’s creations, there’s no going back – you’ll crave this experience over and over again. Sushi Ishikawa is not just dining; it’s falling in love with sushi all over again, every time.“

“We had some yakitori and most of the skewers are very nice. I especially like the chicken thighs and the pepper stuffed with meatballs.
However some of the skewers are not very flavorful, such as the chicken wings. Also didn't enjoy the chicken skin - I was expecting it to be more crispy and less oily.
The atmosphere was very cozy and the service was friendly.“

“This is such a cozy cute place to grab some sushi! We did the all you can eat sushi, every single one we tried was amazing. Everything tasted fresh especially the raw fish!

“Kyoto is the reason why I started loving sushi!!! They have lots of dishes with cooked fish for sushi (as my stomach cannot tolerate raw fish) and they absolutely nailed it. I keep on forgetting the name of the dishes I ordered but every time me and my husband go there we show them the pic below and they gave us the same order ? thanks guys ❤️“

“This is our go-to spot for fresh, high-quality sushi. The lunch specials are a great deal, served with miso soup or salad.
Last Saturday we went for lunch. My boyfriend got his usual Chirashi bowl with a great variety of fish. I usually go for the Ladies’ Lunch Special, but this time, I was in the mood for just rolls and I ordered their signature roll and a roll combo (salmon avo, yellowtail scallion cucumber avo, eel cucumber). Everything was delicious.
The restaurant is clean, the atmosphere inviting, and the service always friendly. We’ll definitely be back!“

“What a gem! My family recently decided to try to find another local sushi place instead of our regular spot and we are so happy we did. Just walking in was so warm and welcoming. This place is a real jewel box, decorated and styled so as you actually feel you are in Japan. Sandy, our host and server, was so nice and attentive. Chef Sung prepared some of the best sushi we have had in ages. The fish was exceptionally fresh and expertly prepared. We were really hankering for sushi that night so the only cooked things we ordered were shumai and eel but we are already looking forward to going back and trying more things.
I don't often know what to make of other reviewers takes as I do not know their palates. But I can tell you that we have had sushi everywhere from North Jersey/NYC, to SF, to Japan and IMHO this place was truly fantastic. The price was also right on point, not so cheap that you question the quality but not so expensive that it is out of reach. This is definitely our new spot!
Helpful hint, if you are looking for a menu preview, it is most easily found through the google listing“

“The food was incredibly good and authentic, capturing the true essence of Japanese cuisine.
The prices were quite reasonable, offering excellent value for the quality of food served. It’s a fantastic place for dinner or lunch.
For lunch, the izakaya offers set meals only, but they were equally impressive. The lunch sets were well-balanced and satisfying.
Overall, Donburiya is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Japanese flavors. Highly recommended!“

“I love this "in the wall" sushi restaurant so much. It's delicious, the salmon is probably the best I've ever had, and the staff was friendly! They also had gluten free soy sauce which was great. I will say that the California roll is made with fake "krab" which has gluten, so if you have an issue with gluten beware. Overall amazing experience!“

“Sushi lovers heaven! IYKYK. This not so secret spot dishes out the freshest cut ups and inventive sushi combinations and prime sashimi at HALF THE PRICE! You heard me! NO CAP! Be it dinner for two or a larger party, this is the place to go that won’t break the bank. As for quality and presentation: top scores all around! Service is super friendly, courteous and fast. And guess what? It’s BYOB! #winning However, it’s first come first serve and really fills up on the weekends, so plan accordingly. Decor is no great shakes but not what you are here for. So sit back and enjoy the food of the gods served at Masago. You will certainly return time and again! Guaranteed!
Parking: Best thing to do is park across the street in the open multi level parking garage

“Returning to Izakaya Kumade after a long time away was like rediscovering a hidden gem, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. The food brought back memories but also surprised with new levels of flavor and quality.
I started with the Nagasaki, which was perfectly balanced—rich and comforting, with a depth of umami that only authentic Japanese flavors can deliver. Next, the salted pollock roe cream udon was a delightful highlight. The creamy sauce, infused with the subtle, savory essence of pollock roe, coated each udon noodle beautifully. It was a unique dish that really set Kumade apart, embodying the best of traditional flavors with a modern twist.
To complement the meal, I enjoyed a classic Suntory Highball, which was refreshingly crisp and balanced, enhancing the flavors of the dishes without overpowering them. But what truly stood out was the Suntory Premium Draft beer. This was, without exaggeration, one of the creamiest drafts I've ever had—the texture was silky smooth, with a subtle malt sweetness and a perfectly frothy head.
Izakaya Kumade has managed to retain its authenticity while continuing to surprise and impress. For anyone craving Japanese izakaya-style dishes, paired with impeccable drinks, this place remains a top-tier choice in NJ. Highly recommended!“

“Enjoyed a really good dinner meal 🥘 at this restaurant - MATSUYA Japanese Steakhouse in Saddle Brook, NJ. I started off with an Avocado 🥑 and Crab 🦀 Meat Salad with Wasabi Dressing. Then a nice hot bowl of Japanese Miso Soup 🥣. Then went into that Entree - Sea Scallop Teriyaki with Fried Rice 🍚. Yes this place was slamming!!!!!!! Mentioned it to a guy I know and he said he went there for a meal with his wife. I guess they must be pretty good!!!!!! 😎 👍🏿👍🏿“
