When I moved to Dumont I was so sad that there was no good sushi around. People suggested some places in neighboring towns, but for the most part they were just not good... Then I found Nihon Kai. Hooray. The fish is so fresh and the prices are really reasonable. Let me suggest the Arizona or Dynamite roll. I think that hands down they are the best sushi in the area! read more

Nihon Kai is MY FAVORITE sushi place around. I order here very frequently and have never had a complaint. I get all of their rolls with brown rice and it's always delicious. Also you have to ask for their spicy mayo, it's the BEST. I highly recommend! read more

The Titanic Roll (Spicy tuna, salmon, and avocado) was very mediocre and boring. It was not particularly as fresh nor delicious as other people rave. The flavor was lacking, despite the use of fatty salmon, tuna, and salmon fish. At least the staffs are friendly. If you're near the area craving for sushi, Nihon Kai is not a bad option. I'd also recommend coming here during lunch than dinner as the portion sizes aren't that different. read more

Tried this spot during Memorial Day Weekend. We got there when they were closing but the owner was nice enough to let us order to go. We ordered just the special rolls. When we got home it took us a second to figure out which one was which. That turned out to be the best challenge we could have. We each tried new items. Even to go, the food was presented nicely & tasted even better. I would have preferred to eat there but they did gave us an unforgettable experience. read more

I was not expecting it to be that good! It was amazingly tasty ... The Angry Dragon roll was a big hit. Most def Recommend this place! You can even get your rolls made with brown rice, so awesome! read more

Best chicken teriyaki hands down . The bento box comes with salad and mixed veggies . Food is always on point & they deliver !

Frequently order for delivery. Sometimes they're super quick, like 20 minutes, then sometimes it takes an hour so it varies I think based on how busy they are. Really good udon soups, big portion of soup, not too salty and always tastes fresh. Have only ordered a limited amount of actual sushi but what I've had has been good. Never had an actual bad meal. read more

Great sushi a little pricey but, you pay for what you get ingredients are very fresh their spicy mayo is awesome. You can get any of your rolls made with brown rice instead of white if you are looking for an even healthier option. Take out is quick call a head and you almost never have to wait by the time you get there. The atmosphere is nice comfortable seating. You get what you pay for and then some. read more

Good family run sushi restaurant. While their cute little daughter watched Japanese cartoons on a laptop, Mom & Dad served us fresh delicious sashimi and other great food. We enjoyed the Garden salad and miso soup. The Shlomit roll was my fav. This friendly family-run restaurant is a keeper. read more

My FAVORITE is the Angry Dragon roll. It's a must try. The food is good. a little more expensive than Id like. It's nice because they also deliver. read more

came here this past sunday for dinner with five friends. we were meeting up for a triple date. we had asahi and sake in hand, ready to enjoy delicious sushi (as per yelp reviews) and each others company. for a random sushi place in the middle of bergenfield, it's not too bad. we ordered edamame, special rolls, bento box and sushi. since i didn't taste everything, i'll only speak about what i ate: sushi regular (7 pieces + roll) and miso soup. tasted better than it looked. actually, i enjoyed this. was disappointed that the roll that came with it (chef's choice) was a california roll. my LEAST favorite roll ever... titanic roll (i think it was spicy tuna with salmon and avocado on top) . yum. i like everything in this roll. not hard to please me if i like everything inside. black dragon (hmm.. i think that's what it was called... shrimp tempura with eel and avocado on top) didn't start liking shrimp tempura in my rolls until recently... but i've always loved eel and avocado. we had a great time here.. but mainly it was because of the company. there was nothing fantastic about the food. and actually, service was SO slow (and sort of unprofessional). what bugged me was that we ordered in pairs... each couple told the waitress what they wanted. she jotted it all down.. and when they brought out the rolls, they just mixed everyone's order together and even split up rolls onto two different plates. WHY? i didn't realize how annoyed i was until after we left. i spoke with friends about dinner the night before. the consensus: food wasn't that great (it wasn't bad, but it wasn't so good) and service was slow, but we had a good time seeing each other. read more

Normally don't trust a lot of sushi spots but the sushi was AMAZING. Definitely worth coming back to, highly recommend for delicious flavor and yummy food all for a pretty good price!! read more

LOVE it all the time. Been here many times - always done right. Fresh & delicious. Do check out their chef's special - very original & yes, good. Nice, sedate decor, very good food, prompt attentive service. Hmm, going to get some..... read more

Much better than expected. Good fresh sushi and hot foods. Definitely stays on as one of my favorite places.

This restaurant is awesome! Sushi is just outstanding and so many delicious choices. Main entrees are just as good. And the cherry on top of the already delicious cake is that they deliver anything on their menu to your house quickly. read more

Food 3.5 Ambiance 2.5 Service 3 Not much to say...not bad, not fantastic. Parking is a bit hard but at the right time during the week, it shouldnt be a problem and the restaurant not likely packed. Seems like the food is maybe $1-2 more per dish than it should be for the area. Sushi cruise on the water in edgewater is similar to this place, and i think a bit cheaper. read more

This is what people are looking for!!!! Clean, nice atmosphere, great service, reasonable prices and Excellent Sushi!!! I really enjoyed their variety and creativity of their sushi rolls. Try the Lobster Roll for a tasty experience to share with friends. Slices of sushi and sashimi are cut large and perfectly chilled. Really melts in your mouth. I have eaten here often and usually have to control myself when I eat here because so many items are good. If you are in the area and in the mood for sushi, this is the place!!! read more

Wow, great sushi in Bergenfield, thank you Yelp =) So, it's New Years Day and the choices were limited, and we decided to trust the 4 star rating on Yelp, and boy were we glad we did. Everything was wonderful ... toro, salmon, spicy salmon hand rolls, yellowtail, white tuna and loads of blue crab. We don't see a lot of sushi places with blue crab on the menu locally, so if you like it, this is the place to get it, as it was perfect. Sasabune's blue crab roll, which is served warm, outdoes it a bit, but that's a very, very high bar. Salmon was great, and the spicy salmon hand rolls were just the right mix of spicy mayonnaise, rice and fish. The place is no-frills in terms of the ambiance, but since we don't eat the furniture (it is cute, and perfectly clean ... you just wouldn't come for the "ambiance"), we'll be back, and often. The care they put into all of the preparation was clear, and the results were as good a sushi meal as we've had in NJ. More convenient for us than Sakura Bana, it's awesome to have another go-to sushi place located here in North Jersey. read more

Was a very good sushi restaurant a couple months ago. However the ownership changed and the quality took a huge dip. I would not recommend coming here anymore as you would most likely be disappointed. read more

Pleasantly surprised. Didn't expect the quality and variety of the chirashi in Bergenfield. Will definitely be returning. read more

Nihon Kai - Japanese Near Me - Bergenfield, New Jersey

I use to order their lunch specials regularly, but most recent order, they reduce their portions significantly, by half. They use to give two good size pieces of Salmon Teriyaki and Chicken Katsu. Now it looks like you get one piece portion which are not bigger portions to adjust for reduce amounts but you get half of what they use to provide. What a disappointment! I guess I will have to find a new place to get lunch specials. read more

I have been going here since they opened. Terrific sushi, good service, and so convenient. So glad to have them on Bergenfield!

In my opinion, best, freshest sushi in Bergenfield. We eat here VERY often, both take out and dine in. You will not be disappointed.

Thanksgiving plans fell thru. Nihon Kai saves the day! The sushi and cooked meals are priced right too: 19 pcs and 2 bowls miso for $20. read more

Soooooo we Order here at least once a week! Sometimes more! Love love love the food! I always get the Kani salad, pan seared Gyoza and the angry dragon roll! Sooooooo good! We have never had an issue and we have ordered since 2012! We also love the monkey roll and fantasy roll! Chicken udon is also delicious! Really haven't had a bad experience! That's a hard thing to say now A days! Highly highly recommended! They always under promise and over deliver! Five stars!! read more

Went here a couple weeks ago for Friday dinner. Place was empty and standard sushi place decor. Hostess asked if we had a reservation and there was 1 other table in use. They have beer ads on the walls and tables, but don't serve any. Ok... Shrimp tempura app was good, nice and light. They brought beef teriyaki instead of shrimp, so that got sent back. Once the right box showed up it was nothing special. Reminded me of $5 lunch special at a Chinese takeout place. I ordered some rolls. They tasted ok, nothing special or daring. They looked good and had average presentation. Ordered spicy tuna roll, a good measure of a sushi place, and it was disappointing. More mayo than spice, more of a tuna salad roll. Less expensive and quieter than East, but not much better than the sushi off the buffet at International Buffet (and that's much cheaper). I don't think I'll try them again. read more

Food was pretty good actually but the prices are a little high for my liking. Much rather go to Sushi Village in Westwood for all u can eat and its better too. read more

The sushi is always fresh and the service is top notch. All of the employees down to the sushi chef are really nice people and always serve you with great pleasure. They deliver, take out , and also have a comforting dining area inside. There lunch special consist of 3 orders into one box, which includes salad and soup! One of my favorite local sushi restaurants. read more

Would give no stars ,Yelp doesn't allow. It's extremely outrageous that 4 lunch specials have taken almost an hour and a half from placing the initial food order over the phone to getting my place of work. We placed the order well in advance so it's was kind of ridiculous that it took this long to receive our food. Also, who gives no utensils. Extremely unimpressed with the food and service. read more

Great Sushi! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area. Super fast and tasty. The staff is very friendly and we have a great time every time we go. read more

Best in Bergen County...reasonably priced and very fresh fish. Mr Lee who used to own it has his new place in Ft. Lee in Linwood plaza..very good too but I believe a tad more pricey because of location. It's also a prettier restaurant but I live closer to Bergenfield so it's my go to place. Never a wait and consistently good! They have also always been respectful...that rates very high to me. I never go back to a place that is rude to it's customers and these guys provide a comfortable atmosphere for complete relaxation. read more

The sushi was good,fresh fish,and quick service. The chicken teriyaki had nice piece of chicken but could have used a bit more vegetables. The veggies were great fresh and crisp. This is my to go place when i order sushi for delivery. Price is fair for the amount of fish they put in the rolls. read more

Great food! The rolls are very good and fresh, only minor complaint is that from time to time a piece or two may come apart because the roll is a bit loose. Overall this place serves good food and has become my go to for sushi delivery. They are on time with delivery service as well. read more

Normally we would have to travel to Fort Lee to get good sushi. Nihon Kai is the best in the area. The staff is the nicest - they even have their little ones at the restaurant. The fish is always fresh and portions are large. Lots of specials. And BYOB too! read more

While the service here is good, and the ambiance OK, the food is certainly not any good. I've never before ordered sushi and not gotten what I expected, but there's a first time for everything. While the tataki had great potential, it was spicy to the extent that it was made absolutely unpleasant. Miso soup simply tasted like bad miso soup. Tomago was also bad. But the worst was the fried salmon special roll. The fish inside wasn't fried salmon "sushi" fish, but instead what tasted like canned salmon in a roll thrown with some fried bits on the top. It was disgusting to the point I couldn't have more than my first bite. I've had all kinds of sushi, good and bad, expensive and very cheap, and I would consider calling this "bad" a compliment. Extremely disappointed. I warn, do not come here, no matter what other Yelpers say. read more

I have ordered from this place a few times. Each time the sushi is beyond fresh & delivered on time. I have also picked up food and the location is clean & the staff is friendly. My favorite rolls are Ultimate Lobster, Angry Dragon and Blue Avo. The seaweed salad & miso are tasty as well. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place used to be much better. My wife likes to order the Danny's Roll. It was always firm and generously portioned. The last time though, they gave us half the amount and it was loose and falling apart! When we complained and the waitress told the sushi chef, he proceeded to throw a fit. He did prepare it again, but it wasn't nearly as good as it used to be. Also, they used to pipe in Japanese music, giving the space a nice Zen-like quality. However, they no longer do this so the place is painfully quiet! Why not have some low background music?? read more

For years this has been the go to sushi spot. I must admit that for some time after the original owner stepped down the quality of the food slightly dropped, but none the less and almost as if in no time they were back at it, making some of the freshest and most delicious Sushi/Shashimi I ever had the pleasure of tasting. The seafood soup is always hot and delicious, Chirashi and chirashi deluxe is highly recommended for sashimi lovers and every special roll is delicious as much as unique in its own way. The tuna tataki and volcano tuna are to die for. The portions are always hefty and the delivery always quick. The staff here are super friendly and make you feel at home every time you dine in. Also the sushi chefs are highly skilled and seem to treat every dish as if it is a work of art. If you want sushi done right then this is definitely the right place. read more

We order for delivery exclusively because they have no liquor license. Fish quality is exceptional, portions are average, presentation is as good as take-out can be. Their menu is extensive but there's overlap in terms of specialty rolls and basic rolls. You can ring up a big bill quickly here...stick to the basics and you'll be very pleased. read more

This is one of my favorite sushi places. The sushi is always VERY fresh. I've eaten in the restaurant, had food delivered and have picked orders up. The service is always so friendly. I even ordered a platter once for work and it was outstanding. read more
