There is parking right in front with ease-that's tough to find in Ridgewood. Truly, an "experience." My only small recommendation is-if you have any allergies-don't wait for them to ask you-let them know. My friend has an avocado allergy and told them after the dish was presented. They didn't replace the dish. I was disappointed in that. I felt they should have. However, the allergy was not disclosed prior.

Blu Sushi is the perfect mix of deliciousness, affordability, and fantastic service. I've gone there for my lunch around three times these past two weeks and each time I've had a wonderful experience. Their lunch special is super affordable. You can get 2 rolls for the less than I spend for one at many of the other restaurants in Ridgewood. However, despite that, it honestly tastes the best out of many of the places I've gone to. Also, if you are up for spending more, they have a fantastic selection of appetizers and special rolls that you can try again (I recommend the dynamite shrimp). When I go, I normally get the 2 roll option from the lunch menu. Typically, I have the spicy salmon and the spicy tuna rolls when I order that. Regarding those rolls, they are first and foremost delicious. You can tell that fresh their fish is and how much time and dedication they put into their sushi with each bite. Furthermore, they are spicy--but not too spicy. When you have them you are able to enjoy every aspect of the roll without being completely overwhelmed by the spice. Additionally, they add something crunchy to the rolls which take them from just a tasty lunch to a full experience. Most importantly though, the service and ambiance is fantastic. Every time I've been there I've only been treated with kindness and consideration. They are very willing to talk with you about their dishes, share some interesting facts about it (like how they came up with the dynamite shrimp), and more. But the best part about it is that they remember you. That honestly meant a lot to me. I know that this whole review was a lot of me ranting, but I honestly mean it. If you are looking for a nice, quaint, delicious, affordable, and hospitable meal--Blu Sushi is the place for you.

In April 2025, we stumbled on the "soft opening" of their new omakase offering, presented in a dedicated, elegant, 8 seat bar room off of the main dining area. We were lucky enough to be served by both Master Chef Aikasa and his now Sensei, David Seo. I'll not try to explain the many courses that were created, explained and presented by the chefs, but each was striking, across a well-paced evening sitting. I'd add Shumi Leonea Omakase to your special dining bucket list.

Food took so long and we keep asking for it and the lady was kind of annoyed to us. Sushi was okay nothing like a big deal. The biggest problem begins when the person next to us get up and the waitress came to clean the table with such a strong bleach smell so I'm very allergic to strong odors and specifically bleach so my nightmare began there. I started coughing went out for fresh air couple times but it wasn't enough left the place with such a bad asthma. The worst experience!!!! not being able to enjoy the food who came very late because of the reaction I was having. Not fun at all and very incompetent.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Service is quick and waitresses are friendly + Busy on weekend evenings, which is a good sign (typically) THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Food is your typical run of the mill, local Japanese restaurant. Nothing extraordinary ---- Chirashi Regular, Hand Roll Combination were average to slightly below. Fish wasn't the freshest tasting. ---- Nabeyaki Udon was on the overly salty side ---- Fried Gyoza was what you would expect, but OK - Interior of the restaurant is a bit drab with carpeting - Interior is a little tight as well with tables almost on top of each other - Food is pricey for the quality

For lunch, I tried the shoyu ramen with a soft boiled egg and side of spicy oil. The broth was light and flavorful. The chashu was very tender and seared nicely. The shoyu came with straight noodles instead of wavy, but it was still good. The bowl had menma, as well as red and green onions. I enjoyed the bowl so much, we went back for dinner the same day. For dinner, I tried the shio ramen, which was basically the same thing, but with a sea salt tare instead of soy sauce. I also got wavy noodles this time and I definitely prefer the wavy noodles. Once again, it came with red and green onion, which i think is a bit overpowering. I would get just green onion next time. The family/couple sets seem to be a great deal. I would definitely return.

I think that during the week or on another weekend parking wouldn't be that difficult to find. When you enter, you see the cool art on the walls, and there are multiple booths and tables to sit at. I ordered the chicken ramen and my friend ordered the curry rice dish. Our food was brought out quick. Server was nice. I didn't try the curry so I can't comment on that, but the ramen was pretty average for me. The chicken was dry, but the broth was warm and flavorful. Not sure if I would get ramen here again but open to trying other things on the menu.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Solid sushi, nothing spectacular, but hits the spot. ++++ Sushi Regular fish was relatively fresh on the sushi pieces, 8 in total. It also came with a choice of a regular roll. ++++ Spicy Maki Combo, which consisted of any 3 spicy rolls, did not taste or look like spicy rolls. They just looked like regular rolls, but they were still decent. There were only 4 spicy rolls to choose from though, of which I chose the Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon and Spicy Yellowtail. ++++ Chicken Udon was surprisingly VERY good. Even though it was just a simple chicken udon, the chicken was quite flavorful and tender. Broth was your typical miso broth/soup. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Waiters can be a little bit more enthusiastic, but food arrived pretty quick. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Extremely busy on a Friday evening at 5:30 PM so make reservations!

Update to my earlier review from 2024…read more We dined in for the first time on a spring Friday evening at around 6 PM and we were pretty much were the only ones dining inside for a majority of our meal. However, they were plenty busy with takeout orders. Service was quick as the waiter took our order down and our food was out within MINUTES! I ordered the Shoyu Ramen, which was a pretty good ramen considering they weren't a restaurant that specialized in ramen. The ramen was very tasty and like any other I've ordered from legit ramen restaurants. My wife ordered a custom poke bowl, which we've ordered many times before for pickup. The bowl was MASSSIVE and seemingly much bigger than what they typically give for takeout orders, although their takeout poke bowls are very generous too. For our kids, we ordered the House Special Fried Rice, which came with eggs and Chinese sausage. It was a solid fried rice and we were quite surprised it came with Chinese sausage because it's an ingredient we rarely see used for fried rice entrees at restaurants. Overall, our dining experience here was good and we loved that it was nice and quiet. It never got super busy, but a few parties did come in after us. The bread and butter of their business is definitely takeout though.

After a long work day, my husband and I treated ourselves to an AYCE sushi dinner at Sushi X in…read moreRidgewood. For a Wednesday night, the restaurant was pretty busy. We were taken to one of the tables closer to the kitchen in the back. I loved all of the polaroid pics on the walls and chill/relaxed vibe there. It was a cold, rainy night. So once we were seated, we ordered some hot tea and quickly filled out our order sheets. The service was great that night - staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered veggie tempura to share. One order is 3 pieces, so we wrote down 3 on our sheet (see pic - this was what we wanted to split between two). My husband filled up on all the vegetarian friendly rolls (sweet potato, avocado/cucumber, avocado/peanut, and avocado/mango; the last was his favorite). I went with a Crazy Tuna Roll, X-Roll, and a Golden Ridgewood. The latter two are deep fried. Both were tasty but just a lot, so next time I would just order one or the other and regular rolls or sushi pieces. We filled up quickly, so we passed on ice cream at the end. I overheard another table say that the ice cream was really good... Overall, weekday dinner at Sushi X was good experience. We hope to be back again and make sure to round off our meal with some of that delicious ice cream! :)

Great location in the heart of Ridgewood....AND, more importantly, the sushi isn't bad either…read more There aren't many AYCE sushi restaurants in northern NJ, but whenever I find one, the excitement antennas are set off in me. One thing I love about this AYCE sushi restaurant is that, like many of the good ones, they offer AYCE sashimi! However, not ALL fishes or typical sashimi were available here (e.g. regular tuna, eel were not part of the sashimi section), but beggars can't be choosers right????? We strolled in for an early Friday evening dinner at around 5:30 PM. First off, if you're familiar with the area, then you'll know that parking is TOUGH here, especially as the evening wears on, so come early! When we arrived, the restaurant was nearly empty with just 2 parties dining, but by around 6:30-7:00 PM, it got absolutely packed. By the time we left at 7:00, the 2 waitresses working the evening were flying back and forth between tables. I won't go through everything on the menu because, like I said, it's very typical of good AYCE sushi restaurants these days. They have various sashimi, sushi, sushi rolls and special rolls on their menu along with salads, soups, appetizers and fried foods. The sashimi, sushi and appetizers were all decent and I thought it was pretty solid. My better half claimed that there was a bit of discoloration on some of the sashimi, so it skewed her opinions immediately of the sashimi quality, but I didn't think there was much to it as most of it tasted relatively fresh. I DO AGREE with her that some of it could have been better though, like the clam sashimi didn't look great. As for service, it was very quick throughout the evening. Our appetizers and sushi came out very quick, although it wasn't super busy at the time when we dined, but the waitresses were always coming back to see if we were ready with our next order. When it did get busy, things seemed a bit more hectic inside. Also, one thing to note for AYCE diners is that if you're not ordering from the AYCE menu, which as of June 2025 is $31.99/person, they do have an a la carte menu too, but if 1 person is doing AYCE at the table, EVERYYYYONE else has to do it, unless the other parties at your table are under 10 years old. Because our kids were not ordering from the AYCE menu, the waitresses seemingly kept coming back to check on our table to make sure our kids were not eating any of the food that my wife and I were ordering from the AYCE menu. In my opinion, it was a a litttttttle petty, but I guess rules are rules and they are definitely strict here about it. Overall, solid sashimi and sushi. We've been to quite a few AYCE sushi restaurants in NY and NJ and Sushi X doesn't have the best AYCE sashimi and sushi quality we've ever had, but it passes the test still and I would still come back again in the future.
