50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rye

“I haven't been to Oko in a couple of years but my daughter wanted to try it and I was so pleased we gave it another try. The ambience and music was a 10! As my daughter said it gives off a NYC vibe inside. The hand rolls were phenomenal. The pieces were all delicious. It is expensive but inventive and delivers. I will be back. I love the front window table and thankfully have always seemed to get it.“

“Outstanding experience all around. The quality of the food, the attentive service with a keen eye on detail makes for and unbelievable dining experience. But don't tell a lot of people I said this, I want to be able to get a reservation.“

“Can’t wait to go back!
Water Moon is such a cozy little gem. The vibe is super relaxing, and the dumplings? Unreal. So flavorful and perfectly made, we couldn’t stop talking about them. Our server, Anna, was the sweetest and made everything feel extra special. Sad they’re closed for remodeling, but I’m already excited for their return. Definitely a favorite! Perfect for a business meeting, a friends/family get together, or even to sit down and do some studying and enjoy lunch!“

“Good sushi and sashimi. Good place“

“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!“

“BEST tuna dumplings & extremely fresh sushi 🍣 love this little gem 💎“

“I am a famously fussy eater and vegetarian, so most of the time if my loved ones are getting sushi I either don’t eat at the restaurant or get a small side dish that I can have. At Hajime they had so many options that I could choose from I was very surprised.
I really wanted the fried noodles but it came with chicken and vegetables, but our very friendly waiter said without the chicken was really no problem. I also let him know that I can’t have any spice and he reassured me when I ordered and again when it arrived that there was no spice and he even waited for me to take a mouthful of a food to ensure it was okay for me. I’ve never felt so cared about in a restaurant before and I was so grateful to him for caring about a seemingly fussy girl.

We genuinely had the best time here for my fiancés birthday, and after our entrees they brought us a huge plate of different sorbets with a candle in. We had no idea they were doing this and it was such a thoughtful touch.
I very much got the vibe of a family business that has been around a while, quietly serving the most delicious food. Truly a hidden gem! We have agreed that we will go out of our way to travel the half an hour it takes to get here just for this place. The atmosphere and hospitality is unmatched. Thank you so much!“

“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!“

A Hidden Sushi Gem That Deserves a Spotlight!
Hazuki Sushi in Glen Cove is an absolute treasure — the kind of place you almost want to keep a secret but can’t help shouting from the rooftops. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted like family. The energy is warm, the smiles are genuine, and the service? Beyond phenomenal.
Now, let’s talk sushi: FRESH doesn’t even begin to describe it. Every bite is a burst of flavor, a dance of texture, a masterpiece on a plate. Their selection is outstanding — from melt-in-your-mouth toro to creative rolls that somehow taste even better than they look (and they look stunning).
Consistency is key, and Hazuki nails it every single time. It’s become a favorite for our whole family — even the kids are obsessed (and trust me, that says a lot).

If you’re searching for sushi that’s not just food but an experience — delicious, memorable, and absolutely worth the trip — Hazuki Sushi is it.

💫 11/10. A must-visit. A repeat visit. A forever favorite.“

“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.

“Visited during Restaurant Week for the sushi-sashimi bento box. It was a great meal, especially for the value! For $20 I got 4 slices of sashimi, 4 sushi, vegetable tempura, and a salad. The veggies were cooked perfectly - soft inside crunchy outside, and the fish was delightfully fresh!

I’m only here for a few days, but may swing by again because it was THAT GOOD“

“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.

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😊“

“We went there for a late dinner. The food was all right. We are and didn't pay attention to time. We ended a few minutes after 9. The minute we stepped out, the staff turned out the light and went outside too. They had been waiting for us to leave patiently and silently. Really appreciated it.“

“I play lots of hockey and get home late at night, Open Rice is the perfect late night order in place. At the same time, when I’m feeling lazy and don’t want to cook, that’s another perfect time to get Open Rice. The menu is healthy and delicious. Amazing food, I would recommend trying it.“

We will definitely be using them again for future events. Highly recommend if you are looking to add something unique and fun to your next gathering!

“Tutto molto buono e posto gradevole“

“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.“

“I am so happy to live right near Kiku because they are a solid, authentic place, which is so hard to find. Their beef and broccoli as well as the lo mein is as good as Chinatown. Some Chinese takeout places I’ve tried in the outer boroughs use really low quality meat and skimp on the good ingredients, but not Kiku! The sushi always tastes fresh and the proportion of stuffing to rice is perfect. There’s a parking lot right outside which is very convenient for pickup.“

“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 ☺️“

“Extremely accommodating, welcoming, and attentive staff and service. Excellent, tasty food. Warm, comfortable atmosphere. We had a celebration of life here on a Saturday afternoon for a friend who unexpectedly passed away. The restaurant helped us plan appetizers and entrees to serve our group of 20 people across two tables. They accommodated a couple who needed to eat gluten free. They found a comfortable place to sit for a friend who uses a wheelchair. They communicated with us several times in the weeks leading up to the event to make sure all of our needs were met. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.“

“The restaurant was quiet and unassuming and the waitress was on some kind of silent mode, but the food was properly cooked and served. The salmon lunch box was pretty good, although the salmon was a little bit sapid. the sushi rolls were fine too.“

“I found this GEM last minute. The food is delicious. I’m obsessed with the mamorneck roll. Yummm. Everything is so fresh. I highly recommend. I have 21yrs NYC experience and nothing usually impresses me but I really enjoy their food thank you Zenzo.“

“Hunan Larchmont has been my family’s favorite restaurant since my children were very young. We have celebrated many occasions there throughout the years and love the friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Their food is always fresh and delicious!“

“Oh boy where do I start Love sweet mandarin was very nice restaurant/ hibachi restaurant and very happy ambiance and the staff was wonderful. Everything taste so good from appetizers to drink and hibachi dinner for 3 adults and a child. Chef was excellent and very funny love it there. Can't wait to go back during the summer time and they also have a rooftop lounge what 😁“

“Solid and affordable food. Nothing too fancy but a nice option if you're tired of Chinese food or pizza, which is very common in the city. The food was fresh and tasteful. There aren't any Tex-Mex spots in this area other than Andy's.“

“The food was delicious, with the sushi tasting amazing. Excellent quality. The sake was also great quality and not too dry or bitter. We enjoyed several appetizers as well as sushi options. We were disappointed to learn that the omakase option on the menu was not available even with planning ahead.“

“starting with the most important: the food is amazing. delicious. flavorful, spicy when needed, mild when desired, this place is perfect at curating the best dishes.
next: the staff. the people here are courteous, kind, funny, and personable. They are there at a moments notice to provide you with what you need, whether that’s a fork because you’re terrible with chopsticks, or extra spicy mayo.
and last: the aesthetic. this place is beautifully decorated and curated for the perfect experience. It is gorgeous with its decorations, the way the space is utilized, and its ambiance.
I would highly recommend this place to everyone, and I bring all of my friends and family here. And we all leave with the same thought: wow.“
