43 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!“

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

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

“Good food ,good service“

“Truly amazing family owned restaurant where they actually care about what they’re doing. The food quality for the price is just unbeatable and they always add a personalized cherry on top of each order. It may seem a bit chaotic at peak times, it’s just because they are not the extremely commercial NYC restaurant that is designed to serve thousands of people simultaneously.“

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

“Hands down the best sushi in westchester no joke. Theres no other place as fresh as this place, their spicy mayo is so different and their sushi is unmatched. Its a hidden gem, i dont even want to write this review so i can gatekeep it and keep it all to myself“

“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!“

“Went to Asago Sushi with my son and had a great experience. We shared the shishi and sashimi combo for two, portions were generous, and everything was incredibly fresh, the kind of sashimi that just melts in your mouth.

It’s on the pricier side compares to other local sushi shops, but the quality makes it fully justified. Service was excellent, and the low-key decor gave it a relaxed, comfortable vibe.

Overall, a really solid spot if you’re looking for high-quality sushi.“

“I love it!! And the place is clean“

“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“

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

“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“

“My favorite restaurant!“

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

“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!“

“Great food, awesome lunch specials, drinks are yummy and the service is always so nice and friendly. I go there a lot with my nephew and they always take care of us and so friendly with him and kind ☺️“

“I had a wonderful date night yesterday at Osaka. I randomly had a taste for hibachi so I searched and came across this location in Tarrytown. Although it was a 30 min drive from home we decided to try our luck. When we arrived, to surprise it was jammed packed however they say us down and we had drinks while we waited. The hostess was very attentive during our wait and even provided edamame on the house because the wait was quite extensive due to 3 birthday celebration which were lagging at each table. Once we were seated the food was made fairly quick and my partner and I enjoyed our meals. The noodles were a bit salty but overall my I really enjoyed my meal and my partner even told me my pick was a great choice! I will be back soon!“

“We’ve been here many times, and the service is always excellent. It’s a great spot to visit, especially if someone in the group isn’t a fan of seafood. Although it’s a seafood restaurant, they offer a variety of delicious Korean dishes. Our favorites are 김치찌개, 돈까스, and 한치회무침—which almost tastes like 물회, just without the soup. All the rolls are fantastic as well. Highly recommend!“

“Beautiful presentation, excellent service, great atmosphere our new favorite place !!“

“If you like sushi and really delicious and we'll prepared food. This is the pla e for you. I usually order some sushi rolls, the fish soup and my favorite is the vegetables in garlic sauce. Absolutely delicious. They also make the best cheese cake around.“

“Great food, good service!!“

“Got off the train and grabbed lunch. Highly recommend Kiku Sushi. Excellent service, food and atmosphere. Reasonably pricing as well.“

“One of the only places around that is Asian food with a nice atmosphere. The dumplings were especially delicious, and the salad and miso soup were especially good. Then the bento box is always fun. The only negative was that the teriyaki chicken could have a little more char on it.“

“Awesome food and service. Nice atmosphere. nice bar upon entry“

“I love this restaurant the food, service and ambiance is Amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“Good lunch selections just that their miso soup is so salty. Otherwise everything else is very good. I had salmon teriyaki with California rolls. It came with side salad , miso soup and steamed veggies. Salmon size serving is big for lunch . Very happy with the order. Cheap for $14.“

“Food was great, nice decor and soothing atmosphere. Very affordable. Had a great time with family.“

“The salmon tartare was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and served very quickly. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Excellent service and amazing food. We really enjoyed our experience and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!“

“I honestly had such a great experience at Hirame Sushi. From the second we walked in, everyone was welcoming and upbeat. You can tell the team really cares about the place.
The food was amazing — super fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The sushi tasted incredibly fresh, and everything came out quickly without feeling rushed. Every roll we tried was delicious.“

“👍I had a nice pleasant lunch, our waitress was outstanding.“

“Very friendly very good food“

“One of the best hot and sour soups and fried crunchy soup noodles I’ve had.

Although a tad bit pricey and could do better with some freebies if you spend a lot besides an Eggroll or soda.

Take out entree portions could be a bit bigger for price as well. I'm sure bigger if you eat in. Flavor of food is great. Fresh and authentic.

Some people could be cold but open up once you break the ice.

Love the goodie bag tea bags and fortune cookies they give.“
