50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Irvington

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

“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!“

“One of the best sushi spots I’ve been to! The food is fresh and delicious, and the service is excellent. Highly recommend!“

“absolutely delicious service was great .🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤“

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

“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.“

“Excellent Asian fusion cuisine and great ambiance-at reasonable prices! Great drinks too!“

“I went here half year ago, now this place extended, have more tables and the food still present pretty good. I am pretty enjoy having a lunch / dinner. The price is reasonable with this quality of food.

Everything is good here.“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“I don’t know about the rest of you all, but this is by far, the best Japanese Cuisine place in the Area. Some of the best items from their menu The Angry Dragon Sushi, The Shrimp tempura, and the Spicy Salmon rolls.

Also try the gyoza and the amazing Kani salad (regular or spicy)

Also the presentation is outstanding, and don’t forget to try their amazing Thai ice Tea which is homemade. 100% recommended. 🫶🏻

PS: ask for their Fried Oreo Dessert, you won’t regret it😊“

“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.“

“Had a great experience with Miso Teriyaki in Tenafly. This place really stands out as a Korean–Japanese fusion spot with a clean, casual fast-casual feel and a menu that blends familiar comfort dishes from both cuisines.

The food is consistently fresh, well-prepared, and great for a quick, satisfying meal. You get a nice mix of flavors—from teriyaki-style dishes to Korean-inspired items—making it an easy go-to whether you’re grabbing lunch or dinner. Portions are solid and everything comes out quickly without feeling rushed in quality.

The atmosphere is simple and straightforward, focused more on good food and efficiency than anything overly fancy, which fits the concept perfectly.

The owner was a pleasure to communicate to, and every time I’ve swung by I’ve had a great experience—never once a bad visit.

If you’re looking for a reliable Korean–Japanese fusion spot in Tenafly with consistent food and quick service, Miso Teriyaki is definitely worth checking out“

“Shared chicken teriyaki with extra meat with noodles and veggies- $17. Did the job. Chicken was tender & tasty. Not much taste on noodles and veggies (cabbage/broccoli) but they were not over cooked. 👍 I definitely prefered that it was not overly salted rather than overkill on the salt. Very fast service.“

“Best Sushi in Yonkers. All the rolls are absolutely fresh and decadent. The quesadillas are excellent as well. A fun mix of Sushi & Mexican. A must go to if ever in Yonkers. I even dare say it is the best sushi in the Bronx. They are located less than 1/3 of a mile from the Bronx border and they deliver to the surrounding neighborhood in the Bronx. The guy who took our order is very amicable. The sushi chef prepares the rolls right in front of you. It was a great experience.“

“Great food and ambiance! You must try it!!!“

“Absolutely incredible experience at Mizu Hibachi in New City! From the moment we sat down, everything was top tier. Waiter Han and Chef Lou worked so seamlessly together—it honestly elevated the entire evening. Han was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed, while Chef Lou brought amazing energy, skill, and flavor to the table.
The food was outstanding—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily the best hibachi I’ve ever had. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. And I have to mention the Asian pear martini… it was next level and a must-try!
Between the exceptional customer service, the fun and comfortable atmosphere, and the high-quality food and drinks, this place truly stands out. Highly recommend—can’t wait to come back!“

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

“Excellent food Excellent service Excellent prices!“

“I love to eat here and my favorite dish is Pork/chicken Katsu. Always fresh and crunchy,
They cook the best katsu/curry sauce. They cook daily and it is a rich sauce with veggies and meat. Family cooking style. Simple and delicious! Thank you !“

“Love this place! Bought my family for the first time and they were amazed at how delicious it was and there is parking! Definitely recommend!“

“Thanks Nihon Kai for delivering my sushi you satisfied my cravings. This place has the most super nice staff., highly recommended. Their sushi is so good. Highly recommended this place to anyone looking to dine in around Bergenfield, New Jersey“

“I just finished a fabulous Hawaiian poke bowl that I would recommend to anyone. A perfect blend of crunchy spicy and succulent. My choice is to have it over greens, but I think it would be just as good over brown rice. The staff is incredibly friendly, patient with new customers, and so helpful. Good to eat in, eat outside, or takeout!“

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

“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.“

“It’s a tradition in my family!! We always have the best time. It’s local and the people make it special. They were all awesome to my Granddaughter . I’m a customer and a fan.“

“Great food, wonderful drinks and a fabulous atmosphere✨️❤️“

“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👌👍“

“Big portions, fresh food, and very nice service. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. Everything came out quickly, and the sushi was fresh and delicious. Definitely a great spot if you want good quality food with generous portions. Will come back again!“

“We ordered a party platter, and it’s absolutely amazing.
The quality of the sushi and rolls is excellent—fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced.
It’s the perfect lunch for our family of four.
Both the kids and the adults were very happy with the meal.
I’ll definitely be ordering again soon. 🍣✨“

“yummy dinner with family.“

“Nice I’m environment great aromas and wonderful food is nice place to just enjoy a decent meal“

“I have consistently ordered sushi from this place and it has never let me down. I live on McLean and I’ve tried so many other sushi spots, but nothing does it as good as TOMO. Honestly there’s no reason for me writing this review besides sitting in my living room thinking “there’s nothing better than this” and feeling like other people need to know too.“

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

“The kids loved it and they even ate“

“Very friendly staff and great food at a reasonable all you can eat price“

“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!“

“I’ve lived downtown for a couple of years and don’t know why I’ve waited to long to try Hibachi express. I was yearning for some lo mein so, I decided to give it a try. I also ordered some sushi & sesame chicken— everything was absolutely delicious!! Packed containers & food was hot & quality. Price is super reasonable for the value, can’t wait for my next order!“
