I'm a bit of a sushi snob coming from NYC where there are many excellent authentic Japanese cuisine establishments. I often get turned off when I go to Japanese restaurants, and I hear Chinese being spoken from the staff. There was even a sushi restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ, that went as far as to play Chinese music. I thought "what desecration"! Then, when the food isn't well prepared and not representative of the Japanese, it's such a disservice and embarrassment to both cultures.Well, Sushi Ya is run by Chinese staff. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the sashimi. It was fresh, tasty, and melted in my mouth. The presentation is decent. It would have been better if the wasabi was freshly grated and not the prepackaged concentrated kind. The accompanying salad and miso soup were simple and basic.I haven't tried the sushi with the rice nor the cooked foods. Either way, I applaud them for doing justice to the cuisine, at least with the freshness. Yes, I would definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

I got SEVERE food poisoning from this place. I ordered their fried rice as well as sushi and both my husband and I were sick less than 24 hrs later. The restaurant is small, we felt rushed and overall it wasn’t a good experience. The staff was nice but the food was not good AT ALL.

Treated myself to a sushi and movie night, first time at this restaurant and it was great. It's small but friendly service and good food. It's byob which I wish I knew prior to visiting. I didn't have much time so was happy that the food came out quick and I was able to make it for my movie on time.

Great food, but don't come here if you want to relax. They will rush you. The lady was really rude to me personally and I don't know what I did wrong. I don't usually leave negative reviews but I felt very disrespected. She gave me dirty looks and rushed me during my order. I still left a tip but I'm not happy.

TL:DR - Average food, a little pricey, but it's Sparta.Cute place with a small, tastefully decorated dining area. Folks working there are friendly and happy to help. Placed an order online, but couldn't pre-pay as it wasn't an option? Kind of strange. Prices are high, but again, it's Sparta.Overall, the food was rather average in flavor, and a little bit undersized for the price. They did not offer chopsticks, but they did include forks, spoons, and packets of soy sauce. There were no fortune cookies. We asked ahead of time "No Broccoli Please" because we can't eat it.The Nake Yaki Soba came in three pieces: a container of broth, a container of noodles mixed with ingredients, and a little tin with two tempura shrimp inside. The broth looked and smelled wonderful, but upon tasting it, was rather bland. We enjoyed the shrimp separately. The container of noodles / ingredients was packed in tight - the chicken, fish cake, crab stick, and egg were great. The noodles were just the right consistency and easy to slide into the broth. However, the "vegetables" in the mix were predominantly raw onions and raw bell peppers. The cooked vegetables included scallions, bok choy, *one* baby corn, and ... broccoli. All of it just tasted like raw bell peppers, which was really disappointing. Even when everything was put together in the broth, it was very underwhelming.The Vegetable Tempura appetizer was about what we expected - tempura vegetables. There were two pieces each of zucchini and sweet potato. There was one piece of what we think was taro? And one piece ... of broccoli. Again. We specifically asked for no broccoli, so all of those went into the trash - what a waste.If we go back, we'll probably stick to ordering sushi, as it's in their name. It could be they're not very concerned about non-sushi menu items.Parking: Plenty of free parking available in the huge, public lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible, but the ramp is a bit steep. The parking lot is also a bit hilly / uneven in areas, so please be aware of that.
