“I would highly recommend anyone looking for a restaurant with delicious food and lively atmosphere.We recently dined at Jugemu that exudes a cozy and friendly atmosphere. The menu offered a delightful array of delicious Japanese dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors. I recommend to try fresh oysters here. It was creamy in texture and had an fresh splash of sea flavor that I can only describe as “yummy.” The sushi rolls, adorned with inventive combinations, marry tradition with innovation, leaving an indelible impression. What truly stood out was the impeccable service – attentive and friendly staff added to the overall positive experience. Highly recommend for a delightful Japanese culinary journey!“

“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!“

“Pretty good for a first timer. Very pricey. Bring your wallet.“

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

“We had the soup dumplings with the sushi entre combo. 3 and a baby. We spent 95 not including tip.Food was delicious, portions were filling, they had high chairs and plenty of spaceParking: Plenty of parking and a lot nearbyKid-friendliness: Family restaurant“

“Absolutely love this place, my boyfriend and I wanted sushi and we found this place on google, we went there for dinner one night and we have been back to it since then. Amazing fresh and delicious food, and most importantly the service is beyond amazing, they greet you with such kindness and are very attentive of you.“

“I absolutely LOVE the food here. It’s immensely Fresh and the chef and staff really take their time and prepare a great experience. It’s hands down the best Japanese food in All of rockland county . Everything is very reasonably priced as well. Love this place !“

“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.“

“Delicious. We are fourteen months in Riverdale, and have been going to the Japanese place across the street ("Palace" is part of its name) but friends told us about Aoyu, and after tonight's dinner we are converted. Fresh ingredients, full of flavor: even the dinner salad, usually a mundane dish of iceberg lettuce, one grape tomato, and orange dressing, was full of fresh greens and a subtle dressing. Edamane: also fresh and salty. I ordered a seared salmon roll and was delighted by the freshness of the fish. My wife loved her salmon teriyaki, a huge portion; my chicken katsu was crisp, not greasy, and so generous. Red bean ice cream and we were done. A very clean place, well-lit, and delightfully friendly young waitstaff. Five stars, no. How about fifty?“

“We loved it here! The fish was super fresh. The omakase came with appetizers and dessert. The service was incredible. Very welcoming and organized and our glasses were always full. The decor was minimalistic and very clean. Our sushi chef, JP (John), was the absolute best!!! He knew just what to pair the fish with to make the dish go from a 10/10 to a 100/10. I'm not a fan of uni, so he was able to create something I'd like from observing what tastes I liked in the prior dishes!! It was my birthday and he asked which fish was my favorite and then made me a special treat at the end with truffle, caviar, and gold flakes on top. Thanks, John!! My dessert (a DELICIOUS black sesame crème brûlée?) came with a "Happy Birthday" chocolate on top. A simple addition yet a nice acknowledgment.“

“A dependable spot for a quick bite of lunch. Their employees are always efficient and courteous. I frequently pick up either a kimbab or one of their lunch specials - delicious and great value. They recently put some work into upgrading their decor as well, so if you want to sit down and watch some Korean language television while you eat, also a good option“

“We went here for Mother's Day. We ordered the hibachi as well as some appetizers and sushi. Food was excellent and service was friendly znd outstanding. What z cute surprise when they gave Mom Mother's Day shopping bag with some sake to take home. Definitely coming back for Mother's Day but coming back way before then!!“

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

“This mom-and-pop hole in the wall sushi joint isn't aiming for Nobu, and that's part of its charm. With top-notch fish quality and surprisingly generous portion sizes, it's a unique experience. The large order, a feast for 5-6 adults, comes with an abundance of ginger, enough to start your own sushi joint.A friendly suggestion: pre-mixing the spicy tuna and salmon with their sauce, seasoned with Ichimi togarashi, could add an extra layer of flavor. Run by a mom and pop, this place exudes potential. I'll be back, perhaps on a quieter day, excited to delve deeper into what this unpretentious spot has to offer.“

“Super tasty batten ramen, I like it and the appetizers are delicious, it’s funny that they have Manga for foreigners since we don’t know the language! (There should be something for all languages.?) But the food is very delicious, I faithfully recommend it..“

“Absolutely phenomenal sushi. The nicest place, staff, and food!! Recently moved from the city and had lost hope in finding good sushi - no longer!! Thank god for this place!! May you live long. Shout out to the owners - if you should ever be on the verge of closing, please reach out to me. I now have a stake in your success and will mobilize in the event of your need.“

“Our favorite sushi restaurant ever! And if you're not into sushi, there is something for you too - tempura, hibachi, etc. So very delicious and they are so nice there!“

“Hanami is our go to family place. The freshness of the food, the service and the ambiance make it a perfect place any day any time. The crispy beef and the fried rice are the must haves. While the sushi is so fresh you will be asking for more. The service is spectacular , they make sure you get exactly what you asked for and how you asked for it. Finally the ambiance is perfect, never to loud but never to quiet. Just perfect !! It’s BYOB so make sure you bring enough as you never want to leave. Enjoy.“

“Accommodating service but the food- none of it was particularly good.Steak wasn’t the greatest cut or quality. Chicken was flavorful enough so perhaps that’s the star of the show. Tempura wasn’t comparable quality to other places in and around NyC at a similar price point. Ginger salad was decent, fried rice was mediocre.Unfortunately nothing impressed enough to have me want to come back but that’s as a non sushi eater so I leave 4 stars because this place seems highly rated by those who enjoy sushi and I don’t want to significantly impact their rating for something outside of their namesake.“

“I've driven past this unassuming place hundreds of times and I've been dying to try it and I FINALLY DID! I was pleasantly surprised at how fantastic everything was, including the service--and they even gave us a sushi roll on the house. Thank you! I wanted to try something different so we ordered a Hudson roll that comes without rice and it was too good. One of the best. Also ordered a roll that had bulgogi beef on-top, wow so savory and delicious. I think it was called the Hinode something...I know that's not very helpful--and it seemed like they were trying it out on the menu because they asked how we liked it. We loved it. The place is cute and small, service is speedy and you can see the chefs preparing the rolls. I think this sushi spot sets itself apart from the rest and has its own unique twist that I appreciate. I am coming back here for sure.“

“Everything you could ever want in a super awesome quality all you can eat sushi place. They’re always so nice and never get Khangri as we order in small batches but frequently, so we never waste food. You should too! They always seem happy to see us. Tip well. Sometimes I swear they must lose money on us.“

“I ordered lunch takeout and it was great! The Chirashi Regular has a wide variety of fish and came pretty much exactly as described in the menu picture. The sushi rice is good and had a little bit of roasted sesame seeds on it. I really liked the saba.The katsu don in the second picture!“

“I went to Tappan Sushi with my husband for lunch who is from Uruguay. He was not into korean, japanese type food but that changed it all when we first came here. I am korean and i need to have my korean food and japanese sushi, sashimi!!!Always great food and service is great. This is our 5th or 6th visit. There are 2 very attentive and friendly waitresses and they are always working. Super great people. Also the sushi chef, the same sushi chef when i go there always greets us when we come in. That is how it should be, greeting customers in a friendly manner. One big thumbs up, the food comes right away, that is the way all restaurants should be. Plus, extremely fresh fish and all the foods i have tried. Cant say enough good things about this restaurant. The Restroom is super clean,smells like fresh Clorox which means they clean it daily. The owner, i think is korean have the best staff and chef.Thank you Tappan Sushi!See you again soon!“

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

“First time here and definitely not the last! Met my nephew here, it's his favorite place and I see why. Food was absolutely sumptuous; tempura appetizer was crisp and light, sushi and sushi rolls were delectable, chicken teriyaki was served on a sizzling cast iron mini skillet with hijiki (black seaweed for those who don't know) and simply dazzling. Service was impeccable; food was served promptly, water and tea were kept filled without having to ask, requests (extra pickled ginger) were addressed expediently. This place rivals anything in Manhattan and far surpasses anything of its kind up here. No parking lot but I took a chance and parked in the Key Food shopping center across the street; my nephew parked on the street and had no issue with metered parking. Yes the staff is Chinese, not Japanese, but so what? Aren't all the cooks and servers in Italian restaurants Latino? Get over it, for that dude who complained that it's a Japanese restaurant run by Chinese people. All that matters is that THE PEOPLE performed beyond expectation and delivered brilliantly.“

“The place is the best place ever! It is the resturant that when my family wants Japanies it is the first place we will go to. I highlly recomend this place.Vegetarian options: I am vegeterian my self and I always get sushi and miso soup. The resturant has many options for everyone.“

“This place always seems to be busy. So I finally got a chance to check it out. Even though they didn't have what I wanted on the menu they customize my order just how I want it!! I really appreciate that, the staff was very friendly and nice!“

“We went here to celebrate my partners birthday and we were not disappointed!We regularly talk about Raku Izakaya as an awesome place for a good time, so we knew what we were getting into.The staff were friendly, and didn't mind seating us before our reservation time, which was awesome because we didn't love the idea of standing around for 15 minutes.We were sat in a more private, larger table in the back that had comfortable bench seating.I was designated driver, but the rest of the table really enjoyed their Sake and beer.A few of us got entrees, but the rest ordered the small plates and just kept them coming. The small plates are definitely where Raku Izakaya shines. They have a lot of delicious options.All around, amazing night!Vegetarian options: Not that dishes are clearly labeled as vegetarian, but if you eat fish, you won't be wanting for other options- they have a large selection of seafood.“

“A bit expensive but I liked it for what it is.... just a sushi joint with no aspirations to greatness. Wait staff and bussing were great, host was kind of awful so service was mixed.... food was good and beautifully prepared with reasonable portions for the cost.“

“Always delicious & enjoyable. My ‘go to’ place when friends come to town.“

“This place is amazing! We are in town for work every other month and we dream about our lunch at Kumo. EVERYONE here is very kind, amazing service, and the fish is so fresh . Look no further you are here now and you will be satisfied my friends.“

“Because this is my favorite sushi spot, I wanted to have Rock & Roll cater my engagement party and m dream came true.The team planned everything perfectly and everyone was complimenting me for how good the food was.Thank you for making my event so special and making me look so good.“

“Ambiance: small and intimate space. No frills. Street parking on small streets. Service: the whole process is slow. The cooking of the food aka grilling stuff the old school way over a coal grill, took a longgggg time that I got buzzed sipping on my hot sake. Order a shitload of food because you will be hungry waiting for the next round of food and it will take even longer to get more food once the place starts getting packed. Wait staff is very nice tho. Food: I have ZERO complaints about the food. Everything we ate was delicious. Who knew intestines and chicken skin could be so delicious???? Even the crispy chicken gizzards was so yum. The food is tapas style so it adds up and the bill can have a bit of a woah factor, especially when buzzed.“

“Hands down best Chinese food around the area.I usually make my own Chinese food but when I’m not feeling it I always buy from here only!The people are friendly and food is tasty. We have received stale fried noodles before that’s probably the worst thing.“

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

“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.“

“Very fresh and good amount serving?Friendly service , only I wish the Japanese name of the foods were available on the menu as well.Other than that , will visit again for sure !Had bento meal and they recommended sushi , all very fresh and well cut fish.“

“Was super excited to try some rolls tonight after a 12 hour work day, but unfortunately after 45 minutes of waiting patiently inside for them to be prepared they still were not ready and hadn’t even been started to be made. Staff not entirely apologetic. Asked for refund and won’t be back.“

“The tea and the sulshies are really good I love there shrimp fried rice and the suhsi is really good you wont be disapointed“

“Best sushi in the area. Always very fresh sushi and perfect fish to rice ratio (not too much rice like many other places around here do). I've tried other places around here but always go back to Daruma as it's by far superior in the quality of food.“

“I have been coming here since it was blue moon and for over 10 years i have been a customer of theirs. Their food is amazing, service is top notch and now that they have re-done the interior it is stunning!! I have never heard of Japanese/Mexican but i am excited to try to Japanese side of it! Mexican is always a top 3 for me.“

“Got the teriyaki chicken lunch special today. $14.34 got me juicy teriyaki chicken, not too salty, salad with the typical ginger carrot dressing which wasn't too tangy, carrots, broccoli, brown rice and miso soup. It was a bargain if you ask me. Everything was greatVegetarian options: Sushi rolls, sides, apps & moreParking: May have to park on the side or behind, but sure to find something.“

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

“A sweet, cozy in Scarsdale's downtown. The sweet couple who own and run it don't speak much English, but being there feels a bit like eating in their home. This is my six-year-old's favorite restaurant. We like the vegetable dumplings most of all.“

“Been here a handful of times so far. Food has been consistently excellent. The servers are friendly and fast. Atmosphere is very chill and it’s nice to be able to bring your own bottle of alcohol if you want. This has become our special occasion spot. Definitely worth the visit.“

“us locals call it "gas station sushi" but don't let that name be a turn-off. it's located in the same location as a gas station, and a Red Mango ice cream shop. The sushi is always fresh, and delivery is super fast. And don't stop at just ordering sushi.... they will make any traditional Asian dish you like including the very best wonton soup I've ever had. You can't go wrong with Kiku sushi!“

“My favorite restaurant!“
