“Real NYC restaurant vibe inside. Perfect place for a classy date night. There is a Public parking lot near by, or very limited street parking. Service is amazing, food is even better. Full bar to enjoy beverages or sit and eat at. Ambiance is unique in the best way. I recommend reservation for evenings and weekend as it fills up fast. Easy walk across the street to coffee spots (day time) or a movie theater!“
“Honestly can be thought of as one of my best experiences in my life. the workers are extremely kind, the food is exquisite, and the service is excellent. One of the workers, Ivan, was super kind and the service was amazing from him. Will never forget the first time tasting their sushi, amazing!“
“Excellent food! Was prepared exactly as requested. Was served piping hot and very freshly prepared. Family owned and operated which is something I love. I've driven past this location many times and just decided to stop in for lunch on a quiet Sunday afternoon so I was the only one eating in at the time I stopped in. The interior was very clean and comfortable but the lighting was just a little too dim. Excellent food but the lighting needs to be better. Kind fast service and very polite.Vegetarian options: Many of the dishes offered can be ordered without meat ingredients.Dietary restrictions: The menu has a good selection of vegetable dishes for people who are diet conscious.Kid-friendliness: The restaurant is very kid friendly and family friendly.“
“The Ridge Steakhouse does an excellent job living up to its title as an upscale restaurant, with friendly service, ambient lighting, and much more.Vegetarian options: Swing and a miss... Try again. This is a steakhouse.Dietary restrictions: Fleishig, as the name implies (see Vegetarian Options)“
“Easily the best sushi experience I’ve ever had and I will be returning. Servers were so attentive and also knowledgeable about everything I was being served. Great portions, flavors and everything was as fresh as can be. Came for lunch and will be returning for dinner with a bigger party.“
“The BEST restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ! Exceptional service from Xiao. She is amazing and have come back 3x to enjoy the food & see her again. The Seafood Teriyaki Combo is fantastic. They know what they’re doing here & they do a great job of it. Wish I could leave more stars ⭐️“
“We are local but never stopped in before. My wife and I, one daughter and her fiance came in during the week between Christmas and New Years. No one was sitting down but it was a little early and there was a lot of take out order activity the entire time we were there.Three of us ordered a total of 8 different rolls and some rice/noodles for my wife . I has the Crunchy Tempura Shrimp roll and the Cream Cheese roll with crab and I would order both again. Everyone enjoyed their selections and other then the noodles and rice, our plates were clean. My wife took what remained for her noodles and rice home as leftovers. We also ordered the Thai Donut to share for desert, based on other reviewers suggestions, and it was really good.Towards the end of our meal, another 2 groups came in and sat down so we weren't the only ones sitting down to eat. We will come back for sure to get items we liked and try out some others.“
“Happen to stop by based on reviews and boy the reviews didn’t fail. We ordered a combo- 5 special rolls and 2 entrees. It was more than enough for 4 hungry adults. All the rolls we ordered were so fresh and tasty. They have one of the best rolls! We ordered a hot and spicy shrimp and it was so crispy and the sauce was delicious. They even take the tails off! A yummy surprise was the free roll they gave us! Can’t wait to return…“
“Service - 3.5 wasn't very tentative Atmosphere - 3.5 way too loud Food - 4.5 i tried $60 omakase ku and it was excellent. I've been to really expensive omakase places and this was pretty up there. My husband had "trust me" and it just looked like regular sashimi. Their sushi was pretty decent. I would definitely come back for omakase. Byob!“
“We really like Masago! We've been ordering their lunch specials for about a year, and the food has always been fresh and consistent with reasonable pricing for the 3 roll combo. We look forward to it every week. Once you order from them on the phone, you can leave your food and payment preferences on file, so calling them and re-ordering is super quick. Delivery during lunch time is usually within 30 minutes, and they will leave the food on your porch if you ask.“
“Joy and her husband have an incredible restaurant and provided excellent service tonight. I have had sushi in many big cities across the country and have never had sushi this good nor had food presented in such a beautiful way! Go dine in, you won’t regret it!“
“I made a private party at Rella Cafe and it was beyond my expectations. Jack was in tune to my needs, the set up was beautiful and the food was plentiful and scrumptious. Service was timely, not rushed at all, and the waitresses were pleasant. We had blintzes and Caesar salad, mushroom barley soup, choice of salmon or fettuccini Alfredo with roasted vegetables, and potatoes. Desert was delicious brownies and ice cream. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you Jack!“
“I've order from here dozens of times. They have the best selection of specialty rolls and more in the area. The team behind Nigiri is super respectful and always greats anyone walking in with a loud "hello" or "welcome". I love coming here for sushi anytime. Thank you Nigiri for being so great“
“Went there today and got the 4 garlic knots options. They warmed it up for me and the costumer services was great! Plenty of staff were there to help. The garlic knots were so good. It was $4.28 for 4 of them and they were a great sizeParking: Plenty of parking and since it is a take out only store there is never a problem with finding a spot.“
“This is a real gem! Sooo happy to find such a good restaurant. You should go to this place and will never be disappointed, but will be amazed. I ordered 3 rolls - Hot Jenny roll, Christmas roll, and Viki hand roll. I strongly recommend all of these three - the taste was eye-opening (even more delicious than I could imagine in my life!) and I can tell this restaurant uses very fresh ingredients as well as doesn't cheap out on ingredients at all. I could feel the owner's and chef's honesty, professionalism, and kindness from the food and the service. I'm so excited to visit here again with my friends soon! My teenage boy said he'd like to give 11 out of 10 LOL ?Parking: Parking lot is behind restaurant.“
“OMG! Outstanding! Simply outstanding!!! The space is simple, but the fish is outstanding, and the service is nice and well paced. We do not consider this place to be a nice local sushi restaurant. We consider this place to be a destination restaurant. It is that good.“
“This cute restaurant is not downtown Ridgewood NJ.However it offers superior Japanese fare and is always busy with regulars and locals.The sushi and sashimi selection is great, they also have Udon dishes and appetizers like Yakitori ,as well as Teriyaki plates (chicken,salmon with rice), all very tasty.It can be a bit crowded on the weekends , its a popular place !The inside is a bit on the older side and if you make reservations ask for a booth, better than the tables or eating at the sushi bar (small space).They also have plenty of take-out orders on the week-end, so try to get in before 7:00pm to avoid lines.“
“Atmosphere was nice and pleasurable to eat with the family. I tried a lot of different foods and all was good. Some things like sweet and sour soup excellent. The sushi could use some work. A nice spot to go with the whole family because they will all find something. The staff was very nice and attentive.“
“Tawara is the hidden gem of NJ! I stumbled upon this restaurant during a road trip last year, and have made it a point to return to the area specifically so I can dine at Tawara again. This place makes the list as one of my favorite restaurants of all time. The pork buns are some of the most delicious things you will ever taste. The sunset roll, spicy beef and sashimi have all been fresh and incredible. Everything I’ve tried on their menu is top quality and taste. Raika is also an excellent hostess, bringing a warm and friendly vibe that makes you feel at home. Overall amazing and highly recommended!“
“Fresh and tasty, nice portions and always unique specials on the menu! Service is very good too. However, don't expect a lot of ambiance inside though. The lights are too bright with worn looking decor and dingy walls BUT the food sure makes up for it.“
“Very good sushi and well priced. You won't break the bank. A variety of lunch specials all very tasty and priced to bring you back. 3 rolls for $12.95 is great compared to other sushi restaurants. The restaurant is small but very well appointed and clean. Service was good, nothing flip over.“
“I order from Poke Zone every few weeks and am always impressed by the freshness and flavors of their poke bowls! The staff always gets the ingredients correct in the make my own bowl. I usually go with the white tuna and salmon combo and it never disappoints. The sauces and toppings are also on point! Highly recommend!“
“Absolutely love raku sushi! Affordable, delicious, fresh, great service, and overall a beautiful place to be with great presentation. Ive been here five times so far- definitely reccomend the salmon avacado roll, and the dumplings! They also deliver which is a great perk to those who live close and don't want to drive. 10/10 would recommend.“
“I super enjoyed this place. Ordered for pickup so can't speak to dine-in experience but the place looked nice enough when I stopped in. Looked like a regular sushi joint. We ordered the sushi boat for 4 and it was almost shockingly good. I can be a bit of a sushi snob and this place got everything right. The pieces were presented beautifully, cut to the right size/thickness - and the rolls were delicious. The only piece I didn't eat was the octopus - I don't know something about the texture just threw me. I think that's an octopus problem not a Yuki problem. We also got some appetizers like shumai and rock shrimp that were both fine. Not great. Wouldn't order again - but doesn't impact the overall experience. Price was right. Experience was on point.“
“Very professional chef, here provides very fresh food, the taste is very good, The restaurant is very clean. I highly recommend the sashimi here. Their tuna and salmon taste great. I love this place I have been for a lot of times, every time I got amazing food, I highly recommend this restaurant to every one“
“Great menu selection for Korean/Japanese food. There is a large public parking lot with access to the rear entrance to the restaurant so it's quite convenient. The restaurant has plenty of tables and the service is good. The food is delicious and comes in large portions. Suggest you pay in cash for additional discount.“
“For those of you who do not know me, I have been a waitress at Sakura Bana for over three and a half years. Normally, I do not really care about the negative reviews on here because most of the time they do not pertain to things I can control, but our most recent review from January 23rd is something I could not keep to myself.This review had some remarks about our price and quality of our food, which I cannot comment on. I have nothing to do with our pricing or the quality of our fish, so it is not my place to argue with a customer’s review. However, I was truly disgusted by the treatment of my good friend at the sushi bar.For those of you who come eat with us often, you are probably aware that one of our sushi chef’s is not Japanese. He is a very nice man who has been making sushi and serving it to customers longer than I have been alive. He is always efficient, fast, and kind to everyone around him. If any of us waiting staff forget to put an order in, he will make it within a few minutes at the highest of quality because he is just that good.This review referred to him as the “take-out chef” and said he was not a real sushi man. When the customer had asked me who makes the sushi, I had said this gentleman makes the sushi rolls and these gentleman (the Japanese sushi men during this night) made the sushi pieces. It was obvious with this customer’s tone that she was not interested in our sushi chef who made the sushi rolls this particular evening.In addition, when we continued to ask this customer if everything was okay or if she needed anything, it was very clear she did not want us to really talk to her. Our sushi chefs are attentive and kind to our sushi bar customers and all customers in general. We try to have conversation because as many of our reviews say, we try to keep this place a family friend, kind environment.I could see the sadness from my friend when he noticed the dissatisfaction of his sushi rolls that he made. I also noticed how upset he got when he understood that this woman was not going to give him a chance to prove himself. Her disgust for his sushi happened before he even had a chance to prove himself.I understand that sometimes customers just want to be left alone and enjoy their meals in a nice, peaceful manner, but after reading her review, I was truly disgusted to see my friend being treated as if he did not have the skill or the experience to serve customers sushi.I get that people have bad nights, and maybe this was one of them. I apologize if this woman feels as if we treated her differently because she was out by herself at our restaurant, that was never our intention. We always want everyone to feel welcomed and have a great experience.However, I do not care if my manager or anyone sees this and gets upset, I am not going to sit here and tolerate my friend being bashed and referred to as a fake sushi chef when he has been satisfying customers and making these delicious rolls for years. He has always been kind to customers, treated them like family, and always makes the experience for everyone there special. I do not appreciate him being referred to anything less than what he is by someone who did not even give him a chance. I truly do not tolerate any sort of disrespect to my sushi chefs the way he was disrespected tonight. The sushi chefs at Sakura Bana are friends to everyone, and the level of disrespect I witnessed tonight was horrific to say the least.To my friend, all your daughters and sons of Sakura Bana want you to know we see you as one of the bests. You always make sure we serve top notch food and really save us when we need to during busy nights when we forget some things or a customer needs something to go quickly. I hope when you read this, you know that we all love you and appreciate your hard work at Sakura Bana.“
“The food is excellent ,the atmosphere is good ,but the service is terrible by that one woman waitress. She didn't bring the silverware napkins plates we actually got up and got them ourselves she wouldn't come back to check on us, honestly she would be the reason that I wouldn't come back again if you got rid of that woman and kept the gentleman that I got the first time who gave great service and was right there to see if we needed anything there's a guaranteed I'd be back. Please get rid of the woman was not happy at all with her“
“I believe it's excellent! The all-you-can-eat option at a reasonable price allows you to sample a variety of dishes, despite the smaller plate sizes. This is beneficial as it enables you to try different foods before feeling full on a single item. However, a drawback is the 3.5% card fee charged after checking out.“
