“excelente restaurante me gusto mucho“

“my sister in law brought us to Gen Sushi and Hibachi. The food was amazing from the edamame appetizer to the miso soup to the fresh sushi and the teriyaki chicken. The four of us were all duly impressed with the food and the service!! Dinner started with warm hand towels provided by our kind and efficient server. Our food was not only served in a timely manner but the presentation was extremely impressive.
As we were finishing we noticed the chef preparing a sushi feast. The boat of sushi designed for a group of regular customers was incredible. One woman told us she drove 45 minutes just to have the fresh sushi. That is a high compliment!!
If you aren’t a fan of sushi the menu offers many other options. We will definitely visit again when we are in town.“

“We love Tempura Place! We go probably weekly and often order platters for parties. They know us by name and are very friendly with us. We have friends of friends who rave about the party platters we bring. The food is fresh & delicious!“

“Good food!🍱 a little bit dimly lit but it’s probably to make it feel and look cozy.“

“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!“

“It is with a full stomach and heart that I am able to publicly share how wonderful Blu Sushi is. Not only is the fish the freshest, but it run by welcoming and friendly staff, chefs and owners. It is not often that you find a restaurant without any criticisms, but then I found Blu. The dining and take-out experiences are how all food establishments should be run. The staff are clearly happy and supported which makes it, without question, a smaller establishment that I am happy to patronize. If you are reading this and considering ordering or not, just do it. You will not be disappointed with the high quality for a great price . Thank you Blu, for the amazing food and homey feel :)“

“So good . When you order takeout fried food, they wait to the last minute of your delivery time to put the food in the fryer. Don't complain if you have to wait a few extra minutes . To get hot crisp food instead of soggy cold stuff that steamed it self cold in the togo containers. LOVE THEM.“

“I had an amazing experience at Masago Sushi in Ridgewood, NJ. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The prices are also such a big factor since its so low for such big portions. But what really stood out, was the service. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and quick without ever feeling rushed. They made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. I would like to acknowledge the service of Ashley. She was so nice and really made us know that we didn’t make a mistake going here.

The atmosphere is also a big plus! Warm, clean, and relaxing, with a modern touch that makes it perfect for a casual lunch or a nice dinner out. You can tell they put care into creating an inviting dining environment.

Overall, Masago Sushi delivers great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to everyone!“

“Nam's Sushi is quite simply the best! Sherry is a great lady! I go there at least once or twice a week! The food is excellent. If you want some great sushi, please go to Nam's Sushi! The food is incredible and the people who work there are so friendly! I love Nam's so much!“

“Food is very fresh ! Cute place too 👍🏼 BYOB ❤️“

“Kumo Sushi went above and beyond. We were stuck in traffic and would miss our own dinner party. My order was marked for pickup, but they made sure it got delivered so our guests didn’t arrive hungry. Truly exceptional service—and the food was outstanding.“

“Delicious food and great service. *****“

“Food, like always, was very very good. The serving was plenty and the taste unmatched. The menu offers plenty of choices. It was so delicious and plentiful that my wife and I, even giving it the old college try, were unsuccessful in finishing our meal. Well then a takeout is necessary. Something to munch on later.“

“We like this place a lot! Delicious food😋,great service!😀👌“

“Everything I have ever tried at Yuki has been amazing. The restaurant is super clean and the staff are so friendly and professional. I can’t wait to come again!“

“Excellent food, in a casual setting.“

“Honestly best sushi & sashimi I ever had in NJ. No joke“

“I love this place! I've been going for a few years and every time I've gone they've given me a nice meal at a reasonable price. Definitely my go to when I want to get something in town within walking distance. I tried some of their new menu items since they've moved up the street and enjoyed them all 💗 I highly recommend trying the buffalo shrimp roll - the buffalo sauce is really good. It's a great little snack“

“Shared chicken teriyaki with extra meat with noodles and veggies- $17. Did the job. Chicken was tender & tasty. Not much taste on noodles and veggies (cabbage/broccoli) but they were not over cooked. 👍 I definitely prefered that it was not overly salted rather than overkill on the salt. Very fast service.“

“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!!!!!! 😎 👍🏿👍🏿“

“Best Sushi in RIDGEWOOD , easily …..“

“Service was great & food was delicious“

“We had a really great experience here! Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The miso soup was warm and comforting, with a nice, balanced taste, a perfect start. The green tea was also excellent and complemented the meal well.

The sushi was definitely the highlight. The Pink Lady roll was fresh, light, and perfectly balanced, while the Volcano roll was absolutely amazing rich, flavorful, and just the right amount of indulgent with a delicious sauce on top. You can tell they use good quality ingredients and take care in how the dishes are prepared.

Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great sushi in the area!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Arigato is a hidden gem for sushi. I've usually ordered their 2 roll special for takeout but it's at a bit of a discount if you dine in. If you have the time to sit down, it's even more worth it. Their special rolls are amazing, hearty, and tasty! Plus, all of the people there are super nice“

“Thanks Nihon Kai for delivering my sushi you satisfied my cravings. This place has the most super nice staff., highly recommended. Their sushi is so good. Highly recommended this place to anyone looking to dine in around Bergenfield, New Jersey“

“Great place all you can eat sushi. Service was good and it was clean.“

“Love this place!!! Everything was fresh and super tasty—especially the sushi, poke bowl, and Teriyaki. The sauce on the teppanyaki was so good! Definitely ordering again!“

“I am a local resident of Garfield. I enjoy and appreciate Sushi Boy when I can get in. It is a quiet and beautiful venue when you have the opportunity to eat in. The decor is wonderful, as is the food. The prices are great as well. My only complaint is that I have attempted to eat in twice, only to find the doors locked both times. Once an hour before closing, the second an hour and a half before closing. I would rather give my money to a local business than something available through Uber eats. Still a great venue, and although I understand why they would close early, it is unfortunate to show up at their door and then have to walk away.“

“Excellent food and service! Sushi/Sashimi for two was for more like 3🍣“

“I never liked sushi and ive lived my life hating it. Until i continuosly tried it over and over again. WASABI did the trick. I absolutely loved the experience i had here with my coworkers. And the sushi was not only deleicious but it was also fresh. Not to mention the people that work here are wonderful.“

“Had lunch with friends. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was good. Definitely will go back.“

“Food is very fresh ! Cute place too 👍🏼 BYOB ❤️“

“my absolute FAVORITE sushi place! i order from here all the time! its TAKEOUT only, available through over the phone orders, doordash, grubhub, and uber eats! i highly recommend this place to all my friends! they have a very nice variety of different regular and special rolls as well as good sushi and sashimi options! love it here!“

“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.“

“A lovely family runs this restaurant that prides itself on the freshest and interesting sushi and Asian delicacies. I’ve been coming here for years and have never had a bad meal. Dine-in is no frills decor, but it’s BYO and it’s the food that I keep coming back for. Diane is a great sushi chef!“
