I came here the other week with a friend and had a wonderful time! I spoke with the staff and asked our waiter, Shelby for his personal recommendations. He was so polite, kind, and yet enthusiastic about the specials of the day and sake. (You can really tell, when someone likes what they do) He listened to our requests and he asked us if we add any allergies or special restrictions, which was great because my date was allergic to shellfish, and so was our waiter. LoL. This immediately put me at ease and then we proceeded to order starting with edamame and sake first.... 1) Yamahai Daiginjo Tedorigawa, Nanago, & Suirakuten I am pretty familiar with Sake, but did not recognize most of the names on their sake list. I usually like to drink Otokoyama, Dassai 50, Nanbu bijin, Wakatake Onigoroshi or something similar in nature. Not wanting to look like a snob, I asked if it would be possible to taste some sake before buying it. (One can hope.... right?) Our waiter, Shelby said Yes, of course! (I was a happy man) He came back and said that these 3 were the best sake in the house with a future one to come later. The three sample shots he bought were were yamahai daiginjo tedorigawa (YDT), nanago (N), and suirakuten (S). Here's my review for future guests and sake lovers- YDT- Dry, smooth, earthy- good to enjoy with heavier foods N-Smooth, fruit-forward- good to enjoy as a dessert sake or if you like sweet drinks S-Dry, clean, smooth taste- good to pair with sushi/sashimi They were all Daiginjo's (premium sake's) so we decided on a bottle of Suirakuten, it was the most expensive of all the 3, but who cares when you are having a good time. YOLO!!! On to the food...... 2) Slice N' Dice (Highly recommended) This was an amazing sashimi dish! It had sliced and diced pieces of tuna, salmon, yellow tail, and avocado with micro greens and avocado sauce. It was so good we forgot to take a picture of it until it was too late; actually the whole meal. Sorry. =( Great dish; Compliments to the chef! 3) Home made pork dumplings Great dumplings! These suckers are filling but owww sooo good! Bonus points, that they are home made and not the frozen stuff you see in the super market. 4) Seared Toro (fatty tuna) Sushi These suckers melt like butter in your mouth! I like how the seared part helps to break up the fatty sinew (muscle tissue) of the fish to make it taste semi-cooked and delicious at the same time. This was a great recommendation from our waiter! Cheers Shelby! 5) Sushi Assortment- Omakase We wanted to enjoy more recommendations and ordered the Omakase (Chef's choice) We got live scallops, live uni from California, Yellow tail belly, King salmon, King red snapper (madai), and a few other pieces I cannot remember, but they all tasted really soooo good. We also got fresh wasabi with the omakase and that made it taste even better! I was in sushi/sashimi heaven w/ the sake too. OMG! 6) Sashimi King Roll As part of the omakase we were getting a roll too from the chef's and they were originally going to give us a King Triton roll (has lobster and shrimp in it) which was rated in the the NY Times, but because of my date's shellfish allergy they gave us the Sashimi King roll instead. It was an amazingly tasty roll without rice; it had mango, tuna, crunch, spicy tuna inside, eel sauce and a couple other things I don't remember (Must be getting old). It was good and a perfect last roll without rice, because we were already on the brink of full before this. 7) Dessert and Tea Dessert was a fruit cup with whip cream and some Jasmine green tea to help soothe with digestion Overall experience I had a great time here, definitely a place to impress a date. Definitely go with the Omakase if you want the best and freshest sushi/sashimi available. Slice N' Dice and Seared Toro are the must have's here as well as the Home made pork dumplings. Ask for Shelby, and he will be sure to take care of you, in the sake department as well. Cheers to the Chef and staff at Fogama! Great Job!!! read more

If I can give 0 star I will give 0 Star to this place.Totally not worth the prize and over charge.No good design and no good commend service over charge a edamame for $7. Even though there is only $3 per bag they server.Bad idea to make money bad owner. read more

Fresh fish, amazing service and daily exquisite specials!!!! You have to try this place!

First time at this place, we went for lunch. Very cozy spot with 13$ for 2 roll lunch specials pretty great value and good service. Sushi tasted fresh and for appetizer those roast pork buns were amazing. There is a small lot on the side with 2 hr parking for free. read more

See all

Amazing restaurant. Food was exceptional and the service outstanding. Best Japanese food in Westchester county - Greenwich area. read more

Best sushi in town! Everything is always so fresh and tasty!! I am addicted to the kani salad and tuna cracker appetizer!! Service is always very good. The waiters get everything done so efficiently, but they are never in your way. Such a great spot!! Highly recommend this place to all! read more

The food is good and the service was fine but the owner is a tyrant. After a busboy accidentally threw out my mom's main dish which she's only eaten one bite of, he threatened to take the cost of the dish off of the bus boy and waitresses pay rather than handle the pro read more

We have been enjoying food at Fogama about every Two weeks for the past year and have found it to be consistently excellent. Most of the reviews are accurate. The fish is very fresh and creatively presented, it's not inexpensive, parking is a drag and the decor is dated. It's very funny to read the occasional poor review on Yelp. It probably says more about the reviewers than the restaurant? Raw Fish rarely can be an issue at 5 star NYC restaurants too but some people write truly bizarre reviews. read more

We eat here weekly. Would do twice in a week occasionally. The food is impeccable and fresh always, have never had a bad bite. And the staff are wonderful. No one creates sushi like this within a 20 mile radius ! Excellent. Good drinks and generous portions too. read more

https://m.facebook.com/fogama/ Had such a wonderful dinner here last night! The sushi was very fresh, creative and delicious! Sea bass was amazing! Dessert was yummy too! Service was great and the owners were the nicest! Worth the trip to Rye NY! -- at Fogama: Neo Japanese Cuisine. read more

Had a really bad experience here. When we walked in the place smelled fishy-- should have turned back then. Continued upstairs and half the tables were reserved-- kind of annoying. Then they mixed up my sister and my sushi and had to re make the orders. Also the shrimp shumai tasted like bad shrimp so bad and the pork bao buns were so salty and bad. Overall, overpriced and bad. Sushi was also bad. read more

Steve from Koo is still rude and obnoxious. We used to go to Koo weekly. I couldn't remember why we stopped but now I realize it was Steve. I can't believe he's running another restaurant! If you decide to go here, double check your order. Whether it's pick up, delivery or you're eating in. He told me everyone knows he doesn't answer the phone after 5 pm bc he's too busy. Although I called in my order at 5:07. We reviewed my address and we never got our food. The next day he returned my 2 messages and said it was there for pickup. I asked to please credit my card, he said he would like he was doing me a favor! He said he called me bc we didn't pick up but not until 10 pm. By then we ordered and picked up and ate from Miku in Greenwich. So much better by the way, but they don't deliver. The only reason we went here a few months ago was because a client gave a gift card. Never again. Please try Oko in Rye or sushi in another town! Miku and Hinoki are great. read more

No better sushi! Sadly we can not eat indoors but the sushi is amazing. Steve and his staff are extremely pleasant. Just placed an order last week I am still salivating the food was so good! read more

My wife love this little gem in Rye! Highly recommend to anyone in the area and looking for fun, creative Japanese cuisine that will have you wanting more! read more

Each time we go to Fogama I am impressed. Tonight I had the spicy salmon wasabi cracker. It was delicious. I also ordered the spicy salmon & spicy tuna without any rice. They did an excellent job wrapping it in cucumber with avocado. Yum! It is a great keto-friendly meal. read more

I am not sure how this restaurant get good review... Sushi Fish were so not flesh, and really disgusting, and my son who loves Sushi could not finish his meal because it was so not flesh. I had Pad Thai but it had no flavor. Just salty and greasy. Not recommended. read more

We were just passing by on our way to manhattan, hit some traffic and yelped the place. It was so great! Quiet, quaint , and elegant! The food was outstanding! And the service great. We loved some of their original Japanese dishes too, like the 'fogama' tower, a tower of avocado, spicey tuna and crab! And the salads, the mixed green and the avocado were very fresh with nice dressings, the rolls and the fish were fun and fresh! Hope to be back one day! read more

Wonderful atmosphere. Nice staff and the food is amazing. Fresh, clean and good portions. Nice bar upstairs. You will have a great time.

Came here for a girls night and had an awesome time. The wait staff were super nice and the food was better than I expected. We shared three starters and they were all good. I ordered the seafood curry ramen noodle soup and thought it tasted good. They loaded it with seafood. More than I thought I was going to get. The broth flavor was good. I count event finish it. We also shared the chocolate lava cake and a carrot cake and both were really good. Definitely would go back again. The rolls were also very big. read more

High quality fish, yes. Sit at the small sushi bar and get special treatment? Yes. Does that matter to you? The service is reliable yet antiseptic. It's like that don't really know how to care to want you to come back. Is t this part of a Japanese restaurants role? Regardless, the sushi is some of the best. It is a step above anything you would find at Red Plum, Haiku, etc, but so are the prices. The prices are NYC top end, but so is the cost of living in Rye. read more

I usually dine in Port Chester or Greenwich, but, tried this place tonight on a whim. Sadly, I didn't even know this place existed but I am glad I discovered it! Great atmosphere, wonderful staff-- all around great place. I had a saketini to drink and have been to places where this drink is ridiculously good (Asian Temptation in White Plains) and ridiculously bad in others (most other places) and this was spot on! We had a Boston roll, spicy tuna roll, and miso soup for appetizers. The Boston roll was great, the spicy tuna roll was above and beyond amazing-- I wanted to cancel my dinner and order 3 more tuna rolls! I'm not a huge fan of miso soup in general, but, what I sampled, I actually enjoyed. For dinner, I couldn't decide between 3 different noodle dishes and based on the server's recommendation had rice noodles with chicken. When it came to the table, it was not what I thought it was going to be at all so I was a little skeptical but was not disappointed at all. It was light and refreshing with a great assortment of veggies. The pineapple fried rice was good, too. I think I have found a new sushi place to go to in the neighborhood. I can't wait to go back and order the spicy tuna! Everything's just ridiculously tasty and fresh. read more

We tried this lovely little sushi place again, today, and it was excellent! Everything was wonderfully put together and the service was good. It was a bit like coming home. Miso soup was excellent. Spicy tuna cracker, appetizer, was also excellent, though the 4-piece portion seemed small relative to the $15 price tag. Spicy kanji salad, another appetizer, was a real treat, as were the assortment of rolls that were enjoyed by the family. The four of us were were well fed for about $120, before alcoholic beverages. read more

Best sushi restaurant in Westchester hands down. Original menu, service spectacular, the owner is always around to remedy any issue you might have. Try the slice n' dice appetizer and a lichi Martini - hard to beat! read more

Wow, what an unexpected surprise! I live in So. Cal. where sushi is practically as frequent as Starbucks in NYC. Fogama in Rye, NY will challenge any sushi from San Diego to San Francisco! Great treat, look forward to my next trip in a month! read more

Okay sushi nothing to go out of my way to get. When we went the restaurant was empty (only 2 tables) but we didn't have great service

Start to finish, extremely satisfied. My fiancé and I visit Fogama on a weekly basis and basically just can't get enough. I usually start out with a mandarine Cosmo from the bartender Rose and it is ALWAYS on point! The house dumplings and salmon wasabi crackers are also a usual must to start us off but as far as entrées, that varies depending on our mood. I have not once been disappointed and I can tell the quality is top notch. Other reviews have commented on price however you truly get what you pay for. High quality, delicious food. The owner Steve and wife Linda go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and pleased. We are always greeted with a warm welcome and the servers are attentive and great as well. read more

DISCRIMINATION!!! Please be advised that this restaurant does not want small children to dine there. I went out with my family and was lied to by the manager (mike) and said that there was a private party upstairs. They said they were full and could not accommodate my family. To my surprise the restaurant was lose to empty. PLEASE take your business elsewhere. I would never step foot into this restaurant or any other place of business that judges somebody on age, sex, race or ethnicity. read more

I believe this is the best Japanese restaurant in Westchester. Came here on a tuesday night and the service was very good. We started with the slice n dice which is an amazing appetizer consisting of tuna, yellowtail and salmon - I highly recommend it. They take pride in the freshness of their fish so every bite is absolutely delicious. In particular, the toro was very special. I would suggest closing your eyes for each bite to enhance the experience. I will definitely be back here soon. read more

What a delight! This is our first time to Rye and we had an excellent meal at this restaurant. We were treated very well by all staff and it was nice to have a meal without feeling rushed to get out for the next guests. The food was wonderful - fresh, beautifully presented and delicious. The attention to detail is impeccable. This is a very nice restaurant with service that is simply outstanding. Highly recommended!! read more

Fogama - Forgot the name but it was delicious!! - Japanese Near Me - Rye, New York

I really enjoyed my first dinner at Fogama last week. Its a small but very well appointed restaurant and the food was delicious. I was there with three others and everyone enjoyed their meals. I will be back. read more

Super friendly staff brings well prepared and fresh sushi. I'm an NYC person and happened to stop by this place and was glad I did. I would definitely go back. read more

I really enjoyed their food. Had the crispy summer roll and the seafood curry udon soup. I wish they had happy hour specials Sake was expensive. Flavors were good - and I'm picky about my Japanese food. I would go here again but probably not order booze. read more

I eat here at least once a week. The Sushi is just terrific. The owner, Steve is very pleasant and helpful with "off menu" suggestions. It can be pricy, but all good quality Sushi is expensive. I only gave it 4 Stars because I have dined at Nobu. I believe it is as good Sushi one can obtain in Westchester. read more

Service was slow and disorganized. Food was less than impressive. When my soup came out 15 minutes later than the rest of our table's food, it was cold and needed to be taken to go as everyone else had finished eating...it probably should have been comped. Nice folks though, but they have some room for improvement. read more

Food is good but service was slow! My sashimi took 30 minutes! That's just cut raw fish people. My sea bass was awesome but the veggies were cold and came with white rice when I ordered brown. Not sure I'll rush back. read more

Got uni. Had turned bad. When I asked the staff about it, they said that it was hard to keep fish fresh with the heat and humidity. Suffice it to say, I will not be going back. read more

Beyond impressed and so happy to now have such a solid option for sushi. So many places have popped up around town all making the same things with the same quality. Average. Fogama is different. First I did t even know that it had opened. I was told by a friend that it was very good and I should try it. It has an interesting townhouse feel. Sushi bar and tables downstairs and drink bar and tables upstairs. We sat upstairs. The lighting was a bit funky but I think they are going to adjust that. We ordered a ton of food. The highlights of the night had to be the sushi bullet and spicy tuna and spicy salmon on cracker. Incredible. I'm still craving it. The sushi was fresh and fabulous as well. The service was so friendly and professional. I can't wait to go back. read more

Very fresh high quality sushi that is artfully prepared and presented beautifully. Very friendly and attentive staff. Lettuce wraps and pork gyoza were delicious and the sushi was so fresh! read more

Good food - bad service. Taking order with 5 interruptions - the delivery time is very long.

The owner, Steve, runs a tight business and it filters down to his staff and cooks. I have been to other restaurants that Steve has either owned or operated and you can tell when the owner has a hands-on approach to the daily functions of a restaurant. He works the restaurant floor and greets everyone, his wife, Linda, greets everyone with a smile as you walk in the door. As a sales representative, I have the pleasure of dining throughout the trip-state area and Fogama is in my top 5. I don't go out on a limb much but if you are disappointed with your meal at Fogama, I would buy it for you. That's my highest recommendation. read more
