50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Westwood

“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!"“

“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!“

“The food it was really good and reasonable price See you again Bop N Sushi“

“I had a really great experience here and would definitely recommend this place. The restaurant was very clean, the seating wait time was super quick, and the menu prices were affordable and accessible.
I also really appreciated the variety of vegetarian sushi options. As someone who doesn't eat seafood or raw fish, it can sometimes be hard to find good options at sushi restaurants, but here there were plenty of rolls with different vegetables and ingredients to choose from.
The drinks were great as well, and we even received dessert included with part of the menu, which was a really nice touch. Overall, the experience felt enjoyable, comfortable, and worth the visit.
There's also plenty of parking nearby, which made everything much more convenient. I'II definitely be coming back!“

“Fresh Chinese and Japanese food.“

“The service was 10/10! The sweetest persons ever, so kind and welcoming.💗 My mango pineapple slush was absolutely delicious and so refreshing! Everything was amazing, and the experience was even better because of the wonderful service. Definitely recommend!“

“Great service and really yummy food.“

“This restaurant has quickly become my favorite place!!
The woman who owns it is so sweet and lovely! I love getting her recommendations and she makes all of the banchan and sauces herself!
I've gone several times and have ordered Bibimbap, Soon Tofu soup, sushi, seafood pancake, and chicken fried rice with kimchi. Everything is always so fresh and delicious!
The service is on the slower side (usually take around 45mins+) since they are a small team, but the food is completely worth it, and I personally don't mind the wait.“

“We were lucky enough to stop by and try several different rolls (and some off-menu items too!) and it was truly some of the best sushi we’ve ever had! This family-owned business is literally a “mom & pop” shop where Mom is the chef and Dad is the sushi man, bringing over 40 years of experience to the table!

Nabi translates to Butterfly - an appropriate name for a place that creates such beautiful dishes 🦋 Give them a follow and stop by the hottest new sushi spot (dine-in, takeout, or catering) before the secret gets out!“

“excelente restaurante me gusto mucho“

“Excellent food, in a casual setting.“

“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.“

“Best Sushi in RIDGEWOOD , easily …..“

“Ordered the Chicken Katsu and Chicken tenders. Both came with sliced cabbage and rice. Both were equally delicious. The breading was perfect and the meat was tender.

They do take reservations and I would recommend making one if you have small children, they have a limited amount of high chairs.“

“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 :)“

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

“Heard many great things about this sushi restaurant, so I decided to try it since I was craving sushi. So glad I tried it!!

Got the Lava Crunch, Golden Dragon, and the Buffalo roll. These rolls are so divine and delicious. Especially the lava crunch roll. I 100% recommend this place. I will be coming back!!“

“Món ăn Nhật Bản ngon nhất tôi từng nếm thử. Tôi rất khuyến khích. Best japanese food I have ever tasted. I highly recommend.“

“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!“

“My family has enjoyed Nakahara for several years and it’s always fantastic. The fish is very fresh, the atmosphere is clean and cozy with gentle jazz in the background and the service is attentive and friendly. There are many sushi options in the area, but this is one of a kind!“

“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.“

“Miso Teriyaki
(Located inside Riveredge Row Strip Mall)
33 Riveredge Rd.
River Edge, NK 07670

Spicy Chicken Yakisoba Noodles

These stir fried noodles were served with a variety of vegetables and the protein of my choice. I wanted a kick, so I chose spicy chicken for a small up charge. The entree was garnished with sesame seeds. This was a scrumptious plate and I was beyond satisfied.

The portion size was very generous and it is definitely intended for a group of 2.

I decided to explore this location on a whim and I’m glad I did. I’m truly looking forward to return to explore the other dishes, especially anything from the Teriyaki section.

“Just stopped in after seeing on Introvert Girl TikTok. Small spot, seems like they mainly do take out but there are plenty of tables inside, seating for 25. Ordered a spicy salmon roll with tuna nigiri lunch combo and a spicy crab roll - the bill after tax was $19!! Ok, but what about the quality? Amazingly fresh and the chef cuts the tuna so it's perfectly tender, was almost close to Toro consistency but clearly not toro. And it came out with the quickness, maybe 6 or 7 minutes and I had it in my hand and there were two other customers that were waiting inside when I got there that also were served and left before I even got my food. Can't praise this spot enough. Can't wait to try and order a huge platter for the next family gathering.“

“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.“

“I love this restaurant and the menu looks amazing too but the menu looks so bad I don’t want it anymore it’s so good and it’s just a really nice place and I don’t want the restaurant and it’s so much more expensive and I want a good food but it’s so expensive I want a restaurant that“

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

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

“Awesome atmosphere and music ….and the food is a “10” out of “10”!!! Delicious !!!!! The octopus is a definite must have!!!!!“

“This is the best hibachi in Bergen county. If you are near montvale or saddle river you need to come and try. The atmosphere was beautiful and all staff were extremely helpful and lovely. The sushi is incredibly fresh and the owner is a very nice person. Would definitely come back again.“

“My favorite sushi place ! Not only do they service the most delicious rolls, they treat you like family ! Awesome cocktails and great atmosphere ! Check out the OMG roll or fiesta !“

“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!!!!!! 😎 👍🏿👍🏿“
