29 Best Japanese Restaurants near Briarcliff Manor

“I've been going here for years & the food is great & fairly priced. They have a great maki lunch meal with soup/salad & 3 rollls for a decent price. Their bento box is great! You gey to choose 2 meats plus a roll, shumai, rice & tempura veggies and soup & salad. Very good. Even better they a stamp card & you get stamps for every $25 you spend. Once card had has 10 stamps you get a $25 gift card to apply to your next visit. Honestly, lovely staff & calm environment. So glad its a neighborhood staple.“

“Sushi & Kimchi has become my new favorite comfy, cozy, and cute hideaway in Rockland for when I want the best tasting and authentic Korean and Japanese cuisine. Gina (owner) and Julie (waitress) are both absolutely lovely! Both Gina and the restaurant remind me of what I recall to have been the first Korean/Japanese sushi house in Bardonia, NY that I grew up up dining at in the early 2000’s and up until I moved out of state in 2008. Unfortunately, that location is no longer in business, but Sushi & Kimchi definitely gives all the nostalgic feels! The foos is always fresh and absolutely delicious, the portions are generous, the service is always on point, and you’re welcomed each time with a warm welcome from everyone! It’s a little hidden gem in a parking lot off of Route 59 in Nyack that winds down in the late afternoon and is calm in the evening. The perfect place to go for an overall relaxing experience that will have you leaving full after having enjoyed every last bite! I’ve also ordered through DoorDash and the presentation, temperature, taste and overall quality were all solid as well. Thoroughly impressed!

Thank you, Gina and Julie for always taking the best care of me!“

“Just finished my teriyaki steak box. Has to be the best I have ever had. Fresh, crisp, distinct flavors all on one plate. I do not usually write reviews but was so impressed that I had to congratulate them. Well done!“

“Fujinoya has been my family’s top favorite Japanese spot in all of Westchester - aside from Sazan in Ardsley - boasting a delicious authentic menu, kind Japanese staff, and a cozy vibe that’s small yet inviting. The seasonal offerings are always a standout, including the sukiyaki hot pot that’s my all-time fave! 😋 highly recommended“

“Our favorite sushi spot - love and crave their red dragon rolls. Also their salmon fried rice yummmm“

“The Umami Bomb is exactly that. the bomb (1990). So good back to pre-pandemic portions and tasty ingredients. Thank God you exist.“

“Ordered takeout and I realized after getting to the hotel that they got my order wrong. It ended up being so good that I wasn’t even upset about the error.

To start, I love the menu and really appreciate the variety of options for simple rolls (healthy, limited/no filler ingredients) versus the usual sole focus on an array of specialty rolls. Additionally, the portions were perfect, especially the rice to protein ratio, and the prices are incredibly fair.

Lastly, i’m a fanatic for avocado maki rolls, and the avocado was so perfectly RIPE that it was borderline melting in my mouth. It might sound silly, but I was in heaven lol.

Place also looked super clean when I came in to pick up my order. Would absolutely love to come and dine-in next time.“

“Good food ,good service“

“First time trying after a friend’s recommendation. We ordered five plates. Wow. Loved every bite. Their food is fresh and delicious. The vegetable gyoza was the best I’ve had. Warm reception at the front counter, even for a take out order. Tucked in the middle of one of the quaintest blocks in New York. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Great food. Bento box is my fiancé & my favorite. Once a week We order.“

“A cozy and relaxing dining experience with authentic Japanese cuisine. What I enjoy most are the surprise complimentary appetizers that appear with sometime other later gratuitous treats. The entire staff including servers are genuinely welcoming. A small but relaxing ambiance. Enjoy the experience!“

“One of the best Ramen Bars I’ve ever been to. The flavors across the menu are unreal. The Spicy Miso Ramen w/ Pork Belly in particular was one of the best soup broths I’ve ever tasted. The service staff could not have been more friendly and courteous. The quaint setting and atmosphere lend themselves to almost feel like sitting at one big family style dinner table.“

“I think this place is great, a real jewel. I had one of the special rolls.. I think they call it yummy yummy. Gorgeous to look at but delicious to eat! Go there you won't be disappointed!“

“Visited Sushi Samurai for the first time and was impressed. The sashimi was fresh, the spider roll had a great crunch, and the drinks were well made, try the Mai Tai. Large space, good service, and a solid spot for sushi in northern Westchester.“

“Went in with no expectations, came out a total fan. The atmosphere is very warm, and the food was incredible. My favorite was the salmon, they were prepped with the texture in mind, giving them a soft chew every bite. If you want high quality sushi, you might want to give this place a try.“

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

“Great friendly staff. Panini was awesome“

“This is the place if you want authentic, high quality, Japanese food. The small dishes on the separate menu are really delightful.

Prices reflect food quality. Be prepared to pay for the best all around Japanese food in the area. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

They run it like fine dining, not like a casual sushi bar. So they have strict rules around noise, noisy kids, and cell phones. Don't expect to bring your kid and set him up with an ipad with the volume on. Seems reasonable. No outside food, no exceptions. Seems reasonable.

The servers were polite, no issues in this department.

A real gem of a restaurant.“

“Great atmosphere friendly great food fresh very pleasant👌👍“

“The kids loved it and they even ate“

“My favorite restaurant!“

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

“I had such a wonderful experience at this sushi restaurant. The atmosphere is calm and tranquil, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. Located right on Main Street in Franklin and Nyack, it’s convenient and welcoming from the moment you walk in.
The sushi itself is outstanding — incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The rolls are not only delicious but also creative, with unique combinations that really stand out. Every bite tasted like it was crafted with care and attention to detail.
If you’re looking for a spot with a peaceful vibe and absolutely top-notch sushi, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Sushi was wonderful and the staff was attentive and knew what to recommend.“

“Came here to eat in New Year’s Day. Miso soup was so good. We ordered many hand yolks between two people. There was one tool I didn’t like too much I can’t remember the name now but all the rest were fresh and delicious.
They even gave us a cute ice cream dessert“
