    My experience at JUGEMU's sushi bar was 5/5. We did the omakase and it was superb. One of the chefs is from Sushi Kai and he was phenomenal. The sushi bar has very different vibes from the rest of the restaurant which seems super family friendly. The staff went above and beyond to make our evening special, and the sushi was incredible. Every piece was unique and flavorful, and of course, fresh. Would love to come back!

    My friend raved about this place so we went for lunch. I enjoyed the appetizers(soft shell crab is excellent and the yakitori) but really didn't like the sushi(sushi lunch A).. the choices they had was meh and esp didn't like the rolls that came with. (Forgot to take a picture of this...) the tempura and miso soup was good. The portion is decent and people are very friendly. I just wasn't sure what the hype was about..

    I eat a lot of sushi. Noz. Masa. Sushi Sho. I bought this sashimi large set. $69. Tiny. Flavor? Good. Clean. This is not a $69 sashimi set anywhere. Not in flavor or quantity. Tiny dollop of wasabi. The platter was mostly vegetables. Do better. I miss when this was the family owned Umeya.

    very fresh sushi! on the expensive side, but you are definitely getting quality. totally loved the crispy salmon - which came with an amazing truffle sauce. i'd definitely order that again.

    Finally got to try their food after passing it by many times. Had high hopes with our first (to go) order: Chicken Teriyaki, Don Katsu, California Roll, and their signature salad (Pomegranate Salad). Both chicken and pork were dry, the roll was big (Supermarket "big"), and the salad was meh. Solely disappointed. Perhaps their sushi sashimi dishes are way better - hope so. Btw, Samdan restaurant next to it is amazing!

    After all the persuasion and rave about Jugemu from a friend who frequents this Japanese Sushi place, I finally had the time to squeeze in during the lunch hours for Lunch Specials (11:30 - 2:00). Quite a cozy place with not many tables. We had the Sushi Gozen A from the lunch special ($29) which comes with 6 pieces of sushi, 1 roll, 3 pieces of tempura, and choice of miso soup of salad. In addition, we ordered the Age DashinTofu, lightly fried tofu served in dashi broth .... Soooo good!!! I could drink the tofu broth ... The rice for the roll was not in the typical white rice, but brown rice/grains which is healthier, but could be bit hard for digestion for some people. Truly enjoyed our meal.

    came for dinner on a friday night, little bit last minute but they were able to accommodate a table of 3 for us. you can still get omakase even if you sit at a table and not the bar. they just bring you a tray of nigiri. we did the omakase with just nigiri, which comes with appetizer, soup, and a dessert. there's another omakase option that includes sashimi as well. we added a house salad and a crispy rice tuna appetizer as well. house salad dressing is probably closest i've come to finding a benihana dupe (and that's not a knock, it's the OG japanese dressing). the crispy rice was v crispy, taste good, but bit too crispy. the nigiri were all delicious. i requested less rice and they were happy to oblige. i would say the service was v pleasant but not knowledgeable of the nigiri we received. still, very pleasant and prompt.

    Food: -This cute Vday chirashi special was such a cute surprise. It included the juiciest sashimi cuts (toro, hotate, fried ebi head/tail, ebi, sake, hamachi) that were truly mouth watering & 2 mini bowls w/ chutoro, ikura and caviar! The cute heart cutouts literally made my day -Sukiyaki came w/ an onsen egg so that u could dip each veggie & meat piece in it and enjoy...and dont get me started w/ the broth (SUCH rich flavors) - Fried soft shell crab was fried to perfection and came w/ a mayo like dipping sauce w/ what I think was mentaiko? super delicious~ Ambiance: - One of the most romantic date night sushi spots in Bergen County. I've been to most of the japanese spots in bergen and can easily say that the dim light, cute and cozy vibes of this place makes it a perfect date spot‍ Service: -This has to be the main reason I give this place a 10/10!!! Staff is super kind. Honestly I've been to many great restaurants but service and staff usually end up ruining my ratings for the restaurant... But w/ that said I've never seen such great service. Our waitress was super accommodating and constantly checked to c if we needed refills on tea/water (w/o being overbearing ofc). She was quick about everything and handled everything w/ such care. At the end, who I believe was the manager started going around tables to check if everything was ok and when my bf & I stopped him to ask if we could get a picture, he not only took such cute photos of us but he actually helped us rearrange the table platings to get a cuter picture. All the gestures Jugemu's team provided us w/ made our valentine's date night superb

    Always a great dinner date place! It's a small but chic restaurant. Few seats at the bar for omakase, several, booths and tables in the main room. The food is always delicious and fresh. Miso cod is tender, flaky, and flavorful - raw fish is also great. We've only had a la carte uni and otoro so far, but I'm looking forward to trying others. One rainy evening, I was craving udon. I ordered the udon soup with tempura. So yummy and filling. Made a reservation on Resy, where you can tell them why you are dining. They actually read those! For our anniversary, they surprised us with a complimentary dessert! Such a lovely way to end the evening ~ we'll be back soon!

    This is a wonderful upscale local restaurant. Inside is beautifully decorated with wooden finish. The menu is quite elegant with most types of Japanese dishes available. But each section has limited items, such as few sashimi, few hand rolls, few appetizers. There are wine, sake and regular drinks. They also have Omakase experience by counter, which needs reservation ahead of time. Foodwise, loved the eel bento box. Eel was marinated and cooked so well. Loved the taste. Sushi rolls, chicken skewers were fine. I wasn't fond of the Waygu steak, it needed to be cooked better. Everyone at the restaurant were super nice. The sushi chef was wonderful as he made couple of mini sushis for our daughter.

    High end Japanese/ sushi restaurant. Simple setup but very elegant. Service is great. The chef definitely cares about all the plates he sent out. I love the chicken skewers (with sauce) and eel/cucumber hand roll. Regular roll is on the smaller portion side so I recommend get actual entree if you are really hungry.

    Came here for our first time for lunch on Saturday. Their lunch special is such a great deal, and what a bonus that they don't limit it (at this point anyway) to week days only! We came to celebrate my birthday and waiting for us on the table was a card wishing me a happy birthday -- such a nice touch! The staff was so extremely attentive that we got maybe 6 water refills without asking. To start, we got the crispy rice (so crunchy!), a scallop hand roll, and a soft shell crab hand roll. Everything was good and we would order each again. For lunch, we each got the Masu Chirashi boxes. Sooo much food and good quality fish for $30! The poke box was everyone's favorite. Second best, I liked the Salmon box. For my custom order I got the spicy tuna, I thought there was just a tad too much soy sauce so next time I'd ask for light soy sauce. The bathroom is upstairs and the stairs are slightly steep. But once you make it up there, it's quite spacious and I was so excited by the Japanese heated toilets lol. We were so full and had cake at home that we didn't order dessert. Even so, the staff surprised us with the most beautifully crafted mochi. I am so blown away at the thoughtfulness!! Would definitely recommend and plan to come back!

    Food: My boyfriend and I got the 8 course Prix Fixe menu ($$$). We made reservations in advance for 5:30PM. The food was delicious Sashimi was a bit cold in the beginning, but the rest of the fish was room temp. The fish was really high quality~ they even did monk fish so that it wasn't fishy! I liked their sushi, might come back and try their omakase! Their cheesecake (not shown) is Cheesecake Factory consistency and I love it! The other dessert was a matcha and red bean flavored dessert, also sweet and delicious; more for Asian palates. Service: 10/10. They're so kind and sweet! Our main waitress explained the items to us and checked in on us a couple times. One of the Asian servers was super kind and sweet! She has a wonderful smile :) Ambiance: Really fantastic ambiance! The interior is moderately sized, and the restaurant has somewhat of an upscale vibe! The waitresses and waiters are dressed in black and white. The bathroom is really nice too (bidet!!) Parking: Easy, right in front of the restaurant. Parking lot is a bit cramped, but we found empty spots. Overall: 10/10 would recommend. Of note, we chose one of their expensive food options and didn't look through the other parts of the menu.

I didn't try any rolls but we did try: 1. Corn corn 2. KFC (Korean fried chicken) 3. Croffle & chicken 4. Strawberry shaved iced Really wanted to get the chicken katsu but that didn't work out. Gives me a reason to come back, I guess. The chicken dishes were labeled as spicy but they weren't spicy at all. In fact I found them more sweet than anything else. ALL of the sauces were sweet and I felt like they needed a little more balance, they all leaned too much on sweet. But chicken was crispy and satisfying. The Croffle and chicken dish had apples and walnuts but they were barely present and didn't add anything to the dish. The dish desperately needed a salty element to balance it. The service here was very slow. It took a long time for someone to take our order. We were barely checked on. Server was nice once she actually came but it was hard to get anyone's attention to order or ask questions. Food was good though! Ambiance was casual but elevated. Would try other dishes if I return!

    I stopped into this fairly new, tiny, cute little restaurant…read more There is street parking and public parking lot only 1\2 block away. There are only a few seats lined up against the wall (bar style) and one table of 4. There is a piano too, and they have a sign saying they teach piano. As small as it is the menu is even smaller with maybe 10 food items. But they sell authentic Hawaiian coffees and special grains of Asian rice. Many choices of smoothies & juices as well. Them mango smoothie was a nice size and delicious! I ordered my food to go and had a very short ride so the good was still hot. We tried the Hawaiian Garlic shrimp. Small size was plenty as it had 7 shrimp over sticky rice with some mixed vegetables in a cheesy buttery sauce. It had nice flavor. Also tried was the Hawaiian Ahi Bowl ( poke) which had plenty of fresh tuna with same veggies. Again a small size was plenty. Lastly I tried the Musubi which is a slice of Spam on top of a bar of cooked sticky rice with seaweed paper around it to get it together. Hawaii has been the # consumer of Spam for many years so I had to give it a try. The salty, smokey flavor of the "meat" along with he sticky rice was a good combo, but the seaweed wrap just gave it a slight fishy taste I could do without. I would say to try U'I for a change up for when you are in the mood for Asian food.

    very new Hawaiian restaurant that looks very promising. Went in one day and ordered spam masubi,…read moregarlic shrimp, and the combo dish that comes with shrimp and meat. Flavors were decent but a bit too overpriced in my opinion. Not enough shrimp and their side of veggies could be switched out to maybe fries or fried spam as this area has a lot of kids/teens. Their beef had a good flavor but was a bit dry. Shrimp was slightly mushy but had a good flavor. Overall the proportions to price did not match up and left me wanting more
