I have been coming to this place for a few years now. It's completely out of the way from where I live - but totally worth it.
There are so many sushi places in Bergen County but this one stands out to me for the following reasons:
1. I like the ambiance. It's never crowded and when it's just me and my husband, they will let us sit in the huge traditional booths where you take your shoes off, which I love. These seats can fit 6-8 people but they never tell us no just because it's two of us.
2. The tuna is always extremely fresh and their rolls are plentiful. They never skimp on fish content and I am obsessed with the asahi roll. It is one roll that serves as an entire meal. It's huge. It has shrimp tempura, tuna, tobiko, cucumber, avocado....makes me salivate just thinking about it. I also love the avocado & crab salad.
3. It's a family run business and they are so sweet. Great customer service - you never have to wait more than a few minutes for your food and they always act appreciative that you chose their restaurant to eat at.
Besides all that, the place is clean and I've never had anything bad off the menu.
Love this place!
Went here with my uncle on my birthday last month. Don't get me wrong, as the place is noticeably well-kept by a friendly Korean staff. Why is it only 2 stars? My tuna sushi deluxe or whatever had a very fishy (birineh) smell. I thought I was being peculiar and just offered half of it to my uncle saying I'd had too much pizza as a late lunch, and even he said that it was inedible. We didn't want to make a fuss on my birthday, just paid, and left. Hopefully it was a one-time error.
Review Source:Sushi is everywhere, traditional Japanese cuisine in these parts is few and far between.
This place, although run by a Korean family is pretty close to what you could expect from a traditional Japanese restaurant. Walking in it's simple, cheesy asian knick knacks on the walls and plane tables. The one thing that stands out are the traditional Japanese dinner table where you walk up to small steps and sit on a flat pedestal type area and place your legs under the table, it's a small detail but unique none the less.
A very pleasent female server comes to greet you with a super huge welcoming smile and asks what type of beverage you would like, I recommend the hot green tea or the sweet iced tea ShopRite Couture brand I believe.
Apps: Amazing dashi tofu, savory and flavorful; Seaweed Salad; or the steamed gyoza
Sushi Rolls: Firecracker (spicy), Anything Tuna...They load the hell out of these rolls with fish;
They have great Korean options as well, Bulgogi Don, Hwe De Bab (Bed of rice with sliced fish and spicy sauce)
For dessert you have to get the mochi...so cheap and so tasty, it hurts.
After dinner you will get a big good bye and a huge smile, which will most likely make you tear up or come back to this place everyday.
***It is a BYO so you can easily run across the street to this delightful bar/liquorstore/hangout and they have a decent selection of coldr to room temp sake and soju to loosen up the joints
Pros:
Definitely the best sushi in the area.
Reasonably priced.
The staff are very nice and friendly.
**They've just recently brought in more Sushi Chefs so service should pick up quite a bit.
Con (just 1):
Service is slow when the place has more than a handful of people there to dine. Â Be prepared to have an extended dining experience in such cases.**see above
Recommended choices (I request brown rice for everything):
Bulgogi Don (ask for brown rice and no egg)
Hwe Do Bop (again ask for brown rice, no mackerel [yuck like cat food]; sub tuna, salmon or crab)
The Spicy Crab hand rolls are amazing
Most other types of rolls. Â Experiment and you'll likely not be disappointed.
Sashimi is nice too.
Dessert
Mochi (frozen ice cream in a sweet rice dough is the one they have) is an absolute must. Â They have a few different flavors to choose from.
They don't have the version made from pulverized sticky rice which isn't as good. Â The ones at Asahi, although not totally authentic from what I've read, are a great deal better.
Just go and enjoy already!
What a hidden treasure! I'd always liked Wild Wasabi, but got bored with their limited menu...So I ventured up the road to Asahi Sushi (next to where CVS used to be) and believe me, I was so glad I did. Excellent ambiance, cool, private tables (where you take your shoes off and sit inside!), friendly staff, and the sushi...tons of creative options, SO FRESH and so beautifully done. Very reasonable prices, Plus it's BYOB. I will be back very soon - definitely try the Dream Roll!
