50 Best Sushi Bars near South Hackensack

“I admit that I am a always skeptical about sushi places, but this place is surprised me.

My family order sushi from all of the options. I had to go for the Sashimi and Teriyaki Beef and Teriyaki Pork. All of the meet was outstanding! Really couldn't believe that I found this place on Google maps and the food didn't suck...Like others I been to.

Parking: Safe and reasonably lite.

Kid-friendliness: Have French fries and Udon noodles which my son likes.“

“Sushi onakase Shinzo best“

“We had a great experience and I think the sushi chef is just a bit awkward but everything tasted amazing. The biggest thing I want to note is that my boyfriend has a shellfish allergy as we noted on the reservation. They were aware of it but were not aware uni counts as shellfish so just made sure to be attentive here if you have the allergy. I would have also preferred if the chef switched gloves for this reason but it was ultimately fine. The unagi and banana was such a memorable dish.

Dietary restrictions: If you have a shellfish allergy, they will happily replace it with another piece of nigiri.“

“Hole in the wall sushi spot. It’s a small and cozy spot in the LES. The size allows you to enjoy the food and chefs on a personal level. I also genuinely have not had fresher fish than here, every piece was mind blowing, the fact that it’s only $68 for 12 pieces! I’m so impressed and I truly can’t recommend it enough. Better than any Michelin I’ve ever had! Also if you love uni like I do, it’s a must.“

“I'll definitely visit here every time I'm in and I highly recommend you do the same I can't recall the drinks I ordered but they were amazing (taste and strength). I walked into the well-lit establishment and the first thing I noticed was the music playing in the background. A wide range of music was played throughout the night and everything fit.“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing food was delicious and the attention of the staff unique.“

“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?!“

“Excellent sushi!!!! Fresh fish. Amazing food.“

“I recently had the omakase at Kaki, and it was an amazing experience! For $75, you get 15 delicious bites, each crafted with care and attention to detail. The quality was top-notch, and every piece was flavorful and fresh.

One highlight is that they offer free house sake with your meal, which was a great complement to the sushi. On top of that, the restaurant accepts BYOD, making it even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the food was so good that I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“Great food very good service“

“The food was wonderful and the ambiance lovely. The service pretty attentive and cheerful. But the desserts were overpriced and not worth it. Try the udon noodle with mushroooms. . yumm.“

“Hidden gem on the LES. 14 course omakase for $89 that rivals competitors at twice the price. Chef Jeff was friendly and engaging, like speaking to an old friend as he gave insight on each ingredient. Ngiri was delicious, top notch fish prepared right in front of you. Favorites include shaved truffle over toro (sublime), buttery hamachi, amazing amberjack, and their signature caviar/uni/toro over milkbread (heaven in one bite). They offered free sake shot and mochi dessert. Beautiful space as well right on Eldridge near Houston. We are definitely coming back.“

“Actually incredible. A MUST try. And for the price???? Its insane. This is one of the best omakase ive ever had and was so inexpensive for the quality, creativity, and vibes. Omg. I love it here i could eat here everyday. Wow. So many unique and powerful flavour combos. Beyond impressed. Thank you💌🎐“

“Haven’t eaten this well since I was last actually in Japan late 2019 before you know what! Loved the Korean flavoured belly pork.“

“Second to none! The ingredients are fresh and chef skills are world class.“

“The omakase was soo good. Definitely recommend the golden ducky“

“Looking for the perfect spot to enjoy delicious ramen and good company? Look no further! This place boasts a cozy, inviting atmosphere that's ideal for chatting with friends. The service was outstanding, and the food was good. The ramen selection is extensive, and the appetizers and sushi were equally delicious. I especially loved the volcano roll, even with the surprising kick from the jalapeno. Highly recommend for a relaxed and tasty meal.“

“I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Sushi W, and I can confidently say that it was one of the best culinary experiences I've ever had. Everything from the moment I walked in was perfect—the ambiance, the service, and most importantly, the food.

The sushi at Sushi W is nothing short of heavenly. Every bite was a delightful explosion of flavors that left me craving more. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the rolls were crafted with such precision and care that you could taste the artistry in each piece. It’s clear that the chefs here are masters of their craft, delivering food that is not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes.

The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. They took the time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and ensure that every aspect of my dining experience was flawless. It's rare to find a place where both the food and service are of such high quality, but Sushi W has truly mastered the art of hospitality.

The cleanliness of the restaurant also stood out to me. The environment was spotless, and every detail was taken care of, which only added to the overall experience of dining here.

I will definitely be returning to Sushi W often, and I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone who loves sushi, quality, and a top-notch dining experience. Whether you're a sushi enthusiast or just looking for an exceptional meal, this place is a must-visit ❤️“

“Best meal (besides l’abeille ?) 2024 . It was such a lovely birthday dinner and we definitely be back very shortly. Chef Ichimura was adorable and magical; he even made my birthday cake. Service is superb!! We love sommelier Meagan’s recommendations (from l’abeille to Sushi Ichimura) … yum yum yum“

“Fuku Omakase was an absolute blast! Not only was it the best tasting Omakase I ever had, but the cozy, intimate setting makes it so special. The chef adds so much fun with his personal touch and the hosts never let your glass go dry with their BYOB making the whole night even better. I’d give it 1,000,000 stars if I could—totally unforgettable!“

“Minimal, bright and welcoming hand roll joint. This place never disappoints. They have delicious animals and the service is always excellent. This particular location has a lunch special with the West Village location does not have. Best hand rolls out there!“

“Chef Andy was excellent!👍“

“Typically Omakase restaurants are very formal and proper. I planned, we walked in and what a great time. We laughed with all and they gave us free drinks.

Food prep was done with artistically done.

Want to experience a fun Omakase, stop in“

“Excellent experience the food was amazing. The service was out of this world. It was impeccable.“

“This was a delicious sushi offering and wonderful experience. Their menu clearly listed gluten free options sad they even offered gluten free tempura shrimp (which was fantastic). Our waiter was exceptionally nice and attentive. We will be back!“

“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.“

“14 course omakase for an hour“

“My favorite omakase place in the city! I feel so lucky that Takeda is in our neighborhood. The high quality dishes are always presented beautifully, and each time we go, we'd be surprised by some special offerings that are so delicious but that we have never tried before (e.g., tiny white shrimp). Chef Takeda and his staff are always friendly, professional, and very informative with each dish that they serve; they'll share the specific prefecture from which the fish is from, and other information such as the season for the fish, and whether they aged it and for how long etc. The environment is calming and you don't hear any outside noise, so we could focus entirely on the culinary experience, and I love that! It is an intimate setting and I thoroughly enjoy watching Chef Takeda craft each dish with meticulous precision. It's definitely a treat to come here!“

“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!“

“Best sushi I have ever had.“

“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!“

“An extraordinary omakase experience.“

“This place is just a GEM in the neighborhood!
I love the chef counter and the Omakase experience
I can't get enough of it
And the fresh Uni mmmmmmmm

So so special
Love the ambience atmosphere service food everything!!“

“Everything about this place is just perfect. My wife and I went here for dinner on our anniversary. The restaurant itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed and decorated, and every dish we were served was outstanding. I particularly liked the toro, wagyu, and eel/foie gras nigiri, but there wasn't a single bite I didn't enjoy. To top it all off the staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive. We would highly recommend to anyone!“

“Place is quite nice. My friends enjoyed their meals very much. It is a bit tough finding vegetarian dishes here and I wish the restaurant kept at least one or two large vegetarian dishes that arent pork/beef broth based. However, this may already be known to people before they come in, so shouldn't detract from the review. Ambiance and service were great!“

“Just visited this place and I had a nice time. The ambiance is warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for enjoying delicious Japanese cuisine. From the sushi to the tempura, every dish was good. The staff were attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even better.“

“It was truly memorable experience. The tasting menu showcased the freshest ingredients, with each dish expertly crafted to balance flavor and texture. Every course was a delight. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the experience with their insights. The intimate atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a special meal. Highly recommend for sushi lovers!“

“Sushi was amazing. My daughter is allergic to soy and our waiter was very helpful! Service was very good.“

“The food quality and set menus they have are really solid for sushi and quite delicious. I feel like it gets a little pricy and that’s why I reviewed them at a 4 VS 5 stars as I know I can get equally as good of a handroll in the city for a substantial amount less, but overall this is a good staple in Jersey City. The udon and miso cod are also pretty tasty.“

“Once I found Katsuya, I had a wonderful meal. If you go, walk past Whole Foods, Peloton and a half dozen potted trees. It is upstairs but there is an elevator. I had hamachi carpaccio - best I've very tasted, and the Katsuya roll - also very delicious. My server was lovely and the restaurant is beautiful“

“Absolutely amazing! Mr. Nam makes the freshest, most tasteful sushi I've ever had. He's got a kind heart and is always so sweet to my kids. What a great place!“

“I took my family here and it was good. The price is super affordable and the food is not bad. There are a couple new employees that do not speak English very well but some do. The atmosphere is just amazing from traditional Japanese sitting to normal tables. I will defiantly recommend this place.

Vegetarian options: There is a little section labeled vegetarian and my daughter really enjoyed it.“

“Came here for a birthday dinner Omakase and it exceeded our expectations. Every dish was beautiful and delicious, and the pace flowed wonderfully. Chef Michael was an outstanding artist and guide. Make sure you reserve ahead of time to be able to experience this at the sushi counter. 11/10 - we will be back.“

“Kame Sushi is hands down the best sushi experience I’ve had in a long time! The fish is incredibly fresh, and every dish is prepared with such care and precision. The sushi melts in your mouth, and the presentation is beautiful. The ambiance is cozy, and the staff is super friendly and attentive. Whether you're a sushi lover or trying it for the first time, this place won’t disappoint!
The Honey Ginger Ginseng tea is a MUST TRY!“

“I had a fantastic dinner here early on a Saturday evening. I opted for the Premium offering and it was absolutely worth it.

I was really impressed with the creativity in the dishes. Particularly the style of the rice and the use of acidic elements like pickles.

This menu also includes a truly diabolical nigiri with Wagyu, truffle and uni. Truly insane in the best way.

Excellent service as well with really friendly serving staff and chefs. Sit at the counter if you want to see the action.“

“Truly one of the best breweries in the country, innovative, beer excellence. Not to be missed!“

“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!“

“This place had fantastic service and sushi!I would compare it to Sushi Bar ATX and say that Shinn felt even more of personal due to their size and had better flavor pairings. Ofc it’s sushi and I understand that but Shinn is doing a great job punching above their price point for the experience. 11/10 staff 11/10 sushi. Forget Nobu and spend local.“
