“Lived in the area for a couple years and this was my first time visiting this place. Absolutely loved it. Service was excellent but the show stopper is the food. I ordered Spicy Salmon Rolls and they were, for the first time, actually spicy. Everything tasted fresh and portion sizes were above average. Price was average for sushi in the area but I’m not complaining. Will be back for sure“

“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!“

“Great service and really yummy food.“

“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“

“We came here after a cold day out, and the ramen heated us up! Very good atmosphere, but you may not enjoy it as much if you are not a fan of Japanese arts.But also why come here if you don’t like Japanese arts.

Vegetarian options: Have vegitarian options like veggie miso ramen

Very friendly, amazing customer service skills, and really went out of his way to give me a great experience. The food was fabulous, very fresh and great flavor. The mango slush was perfect too! I wish you guys great luck and hope to see you all again soon!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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

Kid-friendliness: They truly take care of the kids here.“

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!“

We had such a nice experience and very tasty!
Everything was so delicious especially the salmon samples ??(thank you Yoon?)
I really recommend this restaurant ???“

“Hands down my favorite Japanese restaraunt in the area and one of my top 3 overall. My favorite place to go after a hike in Ramapo or Harriman State Park. Been there at least 10 times even though I live almost an hour away. Great sushi at good price, Pork Buns are my favorite, atmosphere is great, complimentary tea is awesome. Plus there is Tawara Mart next door which always has cool imported goods.“

Our kids have eaten here since they were 3 and 6 without issue. We celebrate each of their birthdays here, including today!The service is exceptional and they make us feel like family every time. Wonderful place, wonderful owner - couldn’t recommend it enough.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps allows an ease of use for wheelchair bound indoviduals.“

“A cute little place with nice workers. The food is good, but maybe presentation could be a tad nicer. Rolls seemed to fall apart for us. Had to wait a bit after the pickup time for food to be ready but that’s no big deal. We liked it. I like that their vegetable roll includes carrots because some other places do not. Avocado roll is very good too. I think prices are very fair and on par with other sushi places in the area.“

“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!“

They are respectfully and patient.“

“Located in food court of Willowbrook mall, this Sarku has sushi counter on one side and teriyaki grill on the other side. It’s very popular with shoppers, as I witnessed customers getting in line one after another.It was fun to watch them grill, the whole grill was covered by chicken, they prepared about 12 boxes at the same time.The taste of the food was excellent, standard Sarku quality. Chicken was tender, with yummy teriyaki sauce, soft rice and nicely cooked vegetables.“

“excelente restaurante me gusto mucho“

“Enjoyed the Hibachi show and food was delish! Great experience for our kids first hibachi!!“

“After a very long day, I came in get a bite to eat before I went back to traveling. The food is delicious. The staff is incredible. They will go the extra mile for you (literally). After ordering and eating entirely too much delicious food the couple who owns the restaurant gave me a ride to the bus station. The woman who served me was kind and kept me company while I was alone. Really one of the best experiences I have had in the entire state of New Jersey. Thankful for people like you.“

“The food was really good however the atmosphere was not that great. There was no white noise in the background and slight noises echoed through the restaurant.

The bubble tea was delicious and the sushi was tasty. The service was decent since there were only a few customers.“

“Yuki Hana is a gem in the world of sushi! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable dining experience.

The food? Absolutely exceptional. Each dish was a masterpiece, with the freshest and most flavorful ingredients I've had in a long time. The sushi was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the attention to detail in both presentation and taste was simply outstanding.

What truly sets Yuki Hana apart, though, is the impeccable service. The team is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about their customers. They made great recommendations and ensured that every aspect of our meal was perfect.

If you’re looking for an exquisite sushi experience with top-notch service, Yuki Hana is the place to go. I can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“We thoroughly enjoy Matsu Sushi & Grill. The food consistently impresses with its freshness, the ambiance is pristine, and the service is impeccable. My 13-year-old daughter adores the Izumi Roll, boasting flavorful chicken Tempura. Meanwhile, my 11-year-old delights in the Chicken Tempura dish, served alongside a crisp salad and rice. Personally, I find the Tuna Amazing Roll to be a standout, bursting with freshness and flavor. Alice, the owner, exudes warmth and hospitality during each visit, making us feel truly welcome. It has become a tradition for my daughters to request dining at Matsu, making it a top choice for family and holiday celebrations. I wholeheartedly recommend Matsu for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.“

“Very cool to find a yakitori spot here in Bergen County. I tried various chicken skewers and the tonkotsu ramen. Everything was pretty decent, but not amazing. I thought the skewers weren’t grilled enough because I was hoping to get more crispy bits and charred flavor. Everything also tasted a bit under-salted, in my opinion. The Asahi on draft was lighter than I expected, though I can’t say if it was abnormally light because I don’t usually get it. (Another review said it tasted watery so I wanted to comment on that as well.) I would opt for a bottled beer next time, of which they have a nice selection. Overall, not a bad experience, but also not nearly an equal substitute for yakitori in the city.“

“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.“

“This is my new favorite sushi restaurant. I’ve never been disappointed with any of the food I’ve gotten. My favorites are the salmon and tuna fashion rolls but everything is delicious. It’s small inside and I’ve never seen anyone eating there, but for takeout this is some of the best sushi in the area.“

“One of the best places for meal in Paramus Park mall. Teriyaki chicken is really good, the sauce has delicious flavor. Fried rice and white are also really good. Each combo has huge amount of protein and rice. Price of the combos are fair. They also have some sides dishes like dumplings, spring rolls and noodles.

Food is cooked and served pretty quickly, unless they need to cook a fresh batch of chicken. Condominiums are available in front of the store.

Parking: Lots of parking spots available all around the mall.“

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

“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“
