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

“Everything was SO good! I got the fried beef gyoza, 4 spring rolls, and the Family Roll, and honestly every bite was a hit. 🤤 They were out of the drink I wanted, but they recommended the strawberry bubble tea instead, and I’m glad they did! It was definitely on the sweeter side, but sooo good. 😋 Great food, great service, and I’ll 100% be coming back!“

“Positive vibes and a great experience. I’ve visited this place several times in person, and I’ve also done takeout a couple of times. The most recent time was takeout. I needed to feed a small group and asked about platter offerings, but was told they don’t have any set menus. They asked what I was looking for and made some recommendations to fit my needs and requested budget.

To say that I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. They delivered and then some. It was a combination of various sushi, regular rolls, and specialty rolls.

They also asked about any potential allergies in the group, along with any specific preferences or dislikes.

The food was fantastic in taste and presentation. It was well packed and came with plenty of ginger, wasabi, and miso soup. They also gave me delicious tea while I waited for them to complete my order.

I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.“

“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 service is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely focused on making sure every guest has a great experience. And the food? Absolutely incredible. Every sushi roll is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The quality of the ingredients really shines through in every bite.

What makes Nagoya even better is that the prices are very reasonable, especially considering the excellent food, exceptional service, and lovely ambiance. If you’re looking for a fantastic sushi restaurant, Nagoya is a must-visit. I go every Friday and I can’t wait to go back!“

“Raku Sushi in Ringwood is easily one of the hidden gems of North Jersey. I have been to a lot of sushi restaurants over the years, and this place consistently delivers some of the freshest, most delicious food and friendliest service around. Every time I walk through the door, I feel welcomed and appreciated, and that kind of experience is hard to find these days.

The quality of the sushi is outstanding. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and you can tell that a lot of care goes into every roll and every dish that comes out of the kitchen. The specialty rolls are creative, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. No matter what I order, I am always impressed. The fish is fresh, the rice is perfectly prepared, and the portions are generous.

What really makes Raku stand out is the consistency. Whether you’re dining in, picking up takeout, or ordering for a family dinner, the food is always excellent. There are very few places where you know exactly what you’re getting every single time, and Raku has maintained that high standard year after year.

The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and relaxing, making it a perfect spot for a casual lunch, a dinner with family, or even a date night. The staff is always polite, attentive, and genuinely kind. They go out of their way to make sure customers are happy, and you can tell they truly care about the people who come through their doors.

As someone from the area, I can honestly say that Ringwood is lucky to have a restaurant like this. Raku has become a staple in the community, and it is one of those places that keeps people coming back again and again. If you’re a sushi lover, or even if you’re trying sushi for the first time, this is the place to go.

Five stars simply aren’t enough. Raku Sushi has earned its reputation through incredible food, outstanding service, and years of consistency. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic, fresh, and delicious Japanese cuisine. This place deserves all the support it gets, and I will definitely continue coming back for many years to come.“

“If I still lived in the area, I would be dining here at least once a week. But alas, I do not! Once a month, I come in for lunch, and I am never disappointed.

“Kyo Kosher Steakhouse is truly a standout dining experience! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, inviting, and upscale—perfect for a night out, whether it’s with family, friends, or even a business meeting.

The food is absolutely incredible. The steak was cooked to perfection—so soft, juicy, and full of rich flavor that every bite just melted in my mouth. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients and take pride in their preparation. The rice was equally delicious—perfectly seasoned and a great complement to the meal.

And let’s not forget the drinks—refreshing, well-made, and the perfect addition to an already amazing dining experience.

Overall, Kyo Kosher Steakhouse delivers on every level: delicious food, great drinks, and a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-tier kosher dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!“
