50 Best Sushi Bars near Tenafly

“The CRAZIEST thing has happened!!!

I have never experienced such high-effort service before. I was out for an early birthday dinner with a few family members, my uncle in particular, enjoys his drinks with ice (lol who doesn’t.) However, after he ordered his signature coca-cola, we were told there was no ice left. Understandably, my uncle was very upset and made it clear to the worker.

Just then, as we were receiving our sushi order, a very kind man named Michael noticed this concern, and told us he was going to the store to get ice. He went out of his way to leave the place, go to CVS, and FREAKING PAID FOR A GIANT ICE PACK JUST TO GIVE MY UNCLE AN ICED DRINK. He basically paid for our drinks if you compare prices. I have never experienced or witnessed this type of outstanding service before.

At first, we didn’t believe it at first, we even bet 5 bucks because we swore we just misheard him. 5 minutes later, he comes back with a giant iced cup just perfect for my uncle to pour his cola in. When was the last time you’ve experienced this?

And on top of that, he served us ice cream dessert on the house!!! We spoke to him for a bit, he even recognized us and where we sat all times we ate here in the past months. He is a very kind man. Shoutout to Michael!!!!!!“

“Small place with great food, slightly expensive but you get your food pretty quickly. The food is really good but there is no bathroom

Vegetarian options: Not many but enough for a meal

Parking: Parking right outside on the street and a small lot very. Empty street“

“Feel like chinese or Japanese? you will be satisfied with both. Great ambience and services. Bring your wine. The best in town. A delight, including my waiter John, who treats me like a Queen.“

“A hidden gem! We stumbled upon this place on a walk and decided to grab a bite. We didn’t have a reservation but was quickly seated with a full bar of other diners for the lunch omakase. Great service, yummy food, and unbeatable pricing. This was such a treat! I will make sure to come back when we are in the area.“

“Sushi was some of the best I’ve had. Chefs know what they’re doing with the glazes and sauces.

Service was attentive, but I wish they had more info about the dishes. Info such as ingredients in the sauces, where the fish came from etc.

The service was also very authentic to Japan in the sense that they were rigid about timing and when we were allowed to order certain things. If you missed your chance to order certain sections of the menu they wouldn’t take the order. lol it felt just like being in Japan.

HOWEVER they did accommodate an unusual dietary restriction and we very much appreciated that.

I think it’s fair because there’s no tip (it’s included in the price). Which is also true to Japan.“

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

“TSUMO – UWS was an absolute blast.
We went as a group of six and had such a fun, high‑energy experience from start to finish. The vibe is lively without feeling chaotic, and the staff clearly loves what they do, which makes a huge difference.

The omakase was AMAZING, especially for the price. Every piece felt thoughtful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Starting with the 13 initial pieces was perfect, and we loved being able to add more afterward. It made the whole experience feel flexible and indulgent without pressure.

Great food, great energy, and a format that works perfectly for a group night out. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend. 🍣✨“

“We absolutely love Kura Revolving Sushi Bar! Every visit has been an incredible experience. The sushi is always fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. So far, we’ve never had to wait in line, which makes the experience even better.

If you’re looking for something specific, the special orders come out within just a few minutes, which is incredibly convenient. Nicole, our server, was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made our visit even more enjoyable.

The restaurant is also very modern and fun, with electronic ordering and even robotic food delivery, which adds a unique touch to the dining experience! 🤩

If you’re a sushi lover, we highly recommend Kura Revolving Sushi Bar. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great spot ...............“

“This was a great experience! We were just at Kollection grabbing some kbeauty products.. when we wanted to eat somewhere. We had no wait, and the ambiance when we walked in was so chill. The table lamps are nice. The Bossam was AMAZING! I highly recommend that dish!! Especially with friends! I would do it plain. The seafood pancake was PACKED with seafood! It was light and fluffy! Corn and cheese was everything you would want.. creamy. And cheesy! I would have like a bit more corn I guess. Fun family dinner night out! The servings are good! I wish I could order more, but I’m full!
Shout out to Thomas our waiter! He was nice and attentive. Would definitely come back here again!“

“Sushi by Sea omakase experience was impeccable from beginning to end. Every detail was thought filled, from the warm, fun welcome and attentive service to the exceptional fish selection. Chef Chris created a superb, creative menu. Each bite felt intentional, highlighting the freshness of the fish with subtle details of house made sauces and garnishes that were exceptional.
What makes Sushi by Sea so special isn't just the extraordinary food, but Jay and Chef Chris' genuine hospitality and personal connection that make you feel like old friends at a dinner party.
Arrive as strangers, leave as friends~ truly captures the spirit of this incredible hidden gem.
Bravo, Jay and Chef Chris!!“

“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!“

“What makes this spot so special isn't just the incredible food, but the family feel created by Kathy, Min, Sheena, Chloe, and Cristina. The attention to detail in every dish is incredible—from the expertly prepared chicken and delicious homemade sauce to the fluffy rice, avocado, egg, and mouthwatering dumplings. It’s easily one of the best meals I’ve ever tasted. Add in their consistently fresh sushi and the warm, appreciative staff, and it’s unbeatable. Thank you all for always making every visit feel so special!“

“The BON bento box was hands down the best choice – everything was fresh, the evening with friends was so enjoyable, and I can’t wait to come back!"“

“I ordered the two-roll sushi combo with a California roll and a salmon avocado roll, and both were incredibly fresh and delicious. I also got the green salad with ginger dressing, which tasted so fresh and flavorful. The shrimp shumai were honestly addictive. They also included veggie gyoza and miso soup on the house, and both were delicious as well. Everything tasted fresh and well made, and I will definitely be returning to Kame Sushi.“

“We were five seconds away from getting hangry and we found this place. we both got the scallion pancakes and the pork ramen. Let me tell you the broth came out hot and plentiful. It was savory and rich. It was such a perfect end to our day. The scallion pancakes were pan fried and not deep fried, which we preferred. They were crispy and soft in the inside. I couldn’t recommend this hidden gem enough.“

“I’ve been coming to Sushi Story since the day it opened, and it continues to impress every single time. The first thing that stood out to me was the service—warm, immediate, and sincere. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted and made to feel welcome. The waitresses are consistently polite, attentive, and always carry a genuine smile. In particular, the waitress with the slicked-back hair has a way of elevating every visit; she’s made several special occasions truly memorable. The restaurant is almost always busy, and for good reason. Because seating can be difficult to secure, I strongly recommend making an RSVP ahead of time. Even with the constant flow of guests, the experience never feels rushed. The master sushi chef is actively engaged with diners, adding an extra touch of authenticity and hospitality to the meal. As for the food—exceptional. The salmon and tuna are always fresh, vibrant, and prepared perfectly. It’s easily one of the best places to enjoy a great evening out with family or friends. And don’t forget: it’s BYOB, so feel free to bring your favorite bottle of wine. Sushi Story is truly a gem, and I look forward to visiting again very soon.“

“We highly recommend ICCA Sushi, always fresh, delicious and worth every cent. This is a BYOB restaurant if you’re interested in eating in. I usually pick up. In the past during COVID they use to deliver. I am not sure if they do now. Absolutely, incredible! You can go for lunch and dinner if you want!“

“This place has the potential of being staple in the harlem neighborhood. It more of Americanized Japanese food that they serve. Which is not a bad thing, this is good place if you want something different but still stay in the familiarity of dishes. Their prices are very fairand give good portion sizes. I will recommend for you to come try it if you never been. It's definitely a place to go for lunch or picking up something quick.“

“This is the best and most authentic sushi restaurant in the Bergen county area. The staff and chefs are Japanese so you know it's authentic. The menu changes daily with seasonal offerings of high quality fish. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Recently tried the Las Vegas Sushi midweek lunch special. The Hwe-Dup-Bap was well made, with fresh ingredients, and served with miso soup. We will be returning.“

“Great food, great service! I've been coming here for so long, and I don't think I'll ever stop. The owners are so nice and welcoming, and the sushi is amazing. High quality fish + large portions for great prices? Count me in. I love their lunch specials and they are so generous with their portion sizes if I didn't mention it enough earlier. They have so much on their menu to offer you'll never get bored of the options. Just amazing!!“

“One of the best sushi spots I’ve been to! The food is fresh and delicious, and the service is excellent. Highly recommend!“

“Amazingly fresh sushi. Traditional Japanese restaurant with great customer service. Expensive but worth it; better quality than any other sushi place around.“

“My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate a special occasion. They have a good happy hour and the service was fantastic. They are super friendly and attentive. The fried rice is awesome and the general tso’s chicken was delicious, with portions so big that we took home leftovers. If I could recommend one thing it would be the fried dumplings appetizer, best I’ve ever had in NYC. We will be back soon!“

“Good sushi, and ramen and udon soups.“

“Food is so good. I love it. I had the shrimp and chicken hibachi combo“

“Service and food were both amazing! My friend and I got the shumai, house special, shrimp tempura roll, and alaskan roll. The taste was so fresh-we have no complaints whatsoever. The staff was also very accommodating and sweet! We will definitely be coming back :)“

“the quality if the food was great, and the value was also good. very nice staff. if they would allow more time the experience would match the quality of the food. felt very rushed and would pay more for a relaxed pace. the space is quite tight and removing plates required constant contortions..also the extras and alcohol are not as good a deal as the food.“

“I absolutely Love This Place. I come here every chance i get, i love the food and the chefs provide cool entertainment 💪🏻“

“Positive vibes and a great experience. I’ve visited this place several times in person, and I’ve also done takeout a couple of times. The most recent time was takeout. I needed to feed a small group and asked about platter offerings, but was told they don’t have any set menus. They asked what I was looking for and made some recommendations to fit my needs and requested budget.

To say that I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. They delivered and then some. It was a combination of various sushi, regular rolls, and specialty rolls.

They also asked about any potential allergies in the group, along with any specific preferences or dislikes.

The food was fantastic in taste and presentation. It was well packed and came with plenty of ginger, wasabi, and miso soup. They also gave me delicious tea while I waited for them to complete my order.

I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.“

“Ordered via GrubHub for a late Friday night dinner when the sushi craving hit. I ordered a tuna bowl, and hubby had a salmon bowl. All of the sushi bar bowls come with edamame, miso soup, seaweed salad, kani salad, regular salad (in this case, it was arugula), and avocado. The fish came in huge chunks, lightly marinaded, and tasted fresh. No complaints. I’d order again and try some actual rolls next time. I saw on their menu a pretty good deal for lunch - $12.50 for three regular rolls, so I’ll have to check that out.“

“Great service! Everyone is so nice there and the food comes very fast! One of my favorite restaurants to go to! All of the food there is perfectly handmade!!! Definitely go there!!!“

“One of the best quality sushi you can find I this side of coast. you can not miss this place“

“The food is fresh and delicious. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is super-friendly & attentive. Will definitely come back!“

“This place is super safe especially with Outdoor dining and super super better than Mamasushi!“

“We had dinner at Matsu on Friday......its a little gem in Hillsdale. We were pleasantly surprised, by the quality and quantity of the food. The Staff went out of their way to accommodate us. They very friendly and warm. It was a most enjoyable dinner. We have ordered food to takeout but hadn't been inside the restaurant since the pandemic.... We will definitely go again soon. It was a great experience and we both recommend you give it a try!“

“Adorable atmosphere with delicious sushi.
Our sushi tray came with steam coming out, which was an attraction for the kids.
The kani salad was the best I have ever had.
We visited for lunch and service was quick and attentive.
Great place and great value, would visit again when in the area.“

“I went some friends and we really liked it. The place is spacious, comfortable, and very well located. Everything looked super fresh, the bowls were really good, and the menu has a lot of variety to choose from. I also liked that they have a restroom and the service was fast, which is always appreciated.

It’s the perfect spot to grab something fresh, tasty, and light, especially during the summer. I definitely recommend it.“

“I am absolutely delighted with the experience.
We visited for a family gathering and were shown to a private room; the service was attentive, and they kept refilling the delicious side dishes.
The sashimi was fresh, as was all the seafood. There was a wide variety of tasty accompanying dishes, and the staff were all friendly.
The aged kimchi was particularly outstanding—the assorted sashimi paired with it was truly delicious.
The portions were so generous that they even packed up the spicy fish stew for us to take home.
It was a truly enjoyable and delicious meal.
Thank you.“

“Best Titanic roll. Best razing roll. Best rainbow roll“

“Sushi and food is pretty good overall but the service at this place is really hit or miss. There are two (I believe) revolving servers/people who answer the phone. The younger server is very polite and friendly. However the other is incredibly rude, on the phone, and in person. I ordered from this place very often in the past but I will no longer be ordering from here. His attitude makes it not worth it for me. Overall if you’re just looking for good sushi this place is fine, but don’t expect good service.“

“That Detroit pizza is definitely something else and I mean that in the best way possible. Never heard of Al pastor pizza but this place got it and I ordered it and I don’t regret it. 10/10 food and it was quickly delivered too so thank you for the fast hands“

“Had the Omakase Style yesterday. Was amazing. Highly recommend this place“

“Our company Holiday party was there and it was awesome. The food and service was the best.“

“Decent price and quality sushi. I had sushi and sashimi platter combo and my family and friends liked it very much!“

“Always great food and service at Nizi“

“Every time I’ve been to Maguro Sushi House in Rochelle Park, the sushi is absolutely delicious. Fresh, made right there on the spot, and full of flavor, it’s the kind of place that just feels good. If you’re a sushi lover, this is the place to go. And if you’ve never tried sushi before, you’ve got to make this your go to spot!

The wonderful owner and friendly staff make you feel right at home in their clean, welcoming space. There are so many delicious options to choose from, and everything is so fresh and satisfying. Whether it’s a cozy lunch or a fun takeout night, it never disappoints. You can’t let this one pass you by, warm, heartfelt, and truly a great experience for everyone. Highly recommend!

Don’t forget to add some of their sweet treats!!!!“

“The restaurant was clean and cozy. My family loves to come here for sushi !! The people are friendly and the owner is very nice. But the greatest part is the food. It’s sooo delicious and fresh. We enjoy coming to Sushi House for our family night outs!!“

“Love this place. Small but clean. I love the plating they look beautiful. The food is delicious we will definitely coming back with my whole family next time ✨✨✨✨✨“
