Salmon Avocado Roll (10 pcs)
Mariam K.

Best poke bowl I've had honestly! Great quality of fish being used. And the sushi rolls here are *huge*. Such an amazing small spot. Can't say enough praise about the food & service! Must go to spot!

Buffalo Chicken Bowl
Jay M.

Among the best Pokebowls I've had in NJ. It also feels more genuinely healthy with fresh ingredients and a good serving of meat. It looks like it's a small family business with a mom, dad and son running things. The mom was very sweet and gave us tofu miso soup while we waited for our Pokebowls. Inside is nice an cozy and is good for dining in as well as take out. I'll definitely return to try their sushi and other options. Update- Poke bowls still hit the spot. The new Beef Bulgogi bowl is absolutely fire. Just might be my new favorite bowl. Sushi is really good as well especially the Spicy Salmon and Spicy Tuna jalapeno rolls.

Stopped by sale sushi and poke for lunch one day visiting a customer and they did not fail to impress. The food was absolutely fresh and service was impeccable. I took it too go but the restaurant looked fairly small so if you are going to eat in maybe call ahead. Will be going back to fulfill my poké needs.

Shrimp Tempura Roll (10 pcs)

AMAZING! We only had the sushi rolls, but there were phenomenal! The rolls are so huge too, bigger than normal size rolls. So fresh, and delicious flavors. Definitely coming again! Great ambience and felt like walking into their family kitchen.

Spicy Kani Salad

I haven't gone on to review places in a few years, however I needed to come out of keyboard warrior retirement to give Sake Sushi 5 stars. HANDS DOWN the freshest sushi I've had in this area in a while! The portions are great, the price is actually worth the product you receive, and the quality of the fish is so fresh but not that gross fishy taste. I ordered this on a whim because I was craving sushi, and this was the only place in driving distance that was open. I have skipped over this place when ordering sushi before since I have my "go-to" place but this has offically taken that spot! I would highly recommend ordering from Sake Sushi.

Bulgogi

Always fresh and the portions are huge definitely recommend this place. We've had their chicken poke, salmon poke, tuna poke, bulgogi and sushi, all were excellent!!

Edamame. 3.95
Cassy B.

This is a nice and simple sushi spot in the heart of Nutley. Plenty of street parking and the municipal lot is right across the street. After we arrive a few other people came and the owners greeted them like family! They knew everyone that walked in the door and asked how they were doing. So so friendly. Overall the menu is very simple. You have your straightforward sushi and some fancy rolls named after the surrounding towns. I thought that was a really nice idea. I stuck with some basics and we got edamame to start. I also ordered a green salad and was a little sad when I saw it arrive because it was tiny and the price on that bad boy was 3.95. It was worth it though, he even came over and told me "eat all the dressing, it's good for you". It sure was, it definitely was fresh ginger. It was great. I would definitely come back or order for pick up!

Spicy Crab Crunch (10 pcs) Spicy Tuna Roll (10 pcs) Shrimp Tempura Roll (10 pcs)

This is the best sushi I've had in a while. The rolls are HUGEEE. Sooo worth it. I would recommend 100%

i ordered sushi for my office lunch and wanted to be sure the restaurant i selected had enough…read moreinclusive options for non shellfish eaters, and this was the perfect place. as a person with said allergy, just seeing there were more protein options besides the classic sweet potato roll was satisfying. i ordered around 15 rolls and they were swiftly prepared for delivery. when the rolls arrived, not only was i impressed with the packaging, but they looked so pretty! these rolls went out so quick, it was the fastest any of the food i've catered here has gone. 15 minutes! my favorite rolls were the fantasy roll and surprisingly, the fully vegetarian Jets roll. the fantasy roll had red snapper tempura, and banana somewhere somehow, and the sweetness of the banana cutting through the savoriness of the roll was indeed an experience. the jets roll took me by surprise bc i never would have thought i would enjoy mango, avocado, and sweet potato together. i will say i did find the chicken tempura roll to be underwhelming, but that was only bc there were so many other outstanding rolls. either way, i'm putting this restaurant in my gps RN to have that fantasy roll again. i've never heard of red snapper tempura before prior this, and this restaurant has definitely resurged my interest in sushi again.

would give 10 stars for that salmon sashimi. Everything start to finish was insanely delicious…read more When you walk in and sit down, they bang a little drum. So cute and fun. It's an intimate dining setting, and perfect place to take to impress a date. The service was immaculate. The servers were kind and knowledgeable when I was asking about a few things on the menu cause there was too many good options to pick I needed help lol. Food was insanely good. and the black sesame bubble tea was also so good I'm pretty sure it's all locally sourced and you can tell in the taste. Can't believe it took me this long to finally try this spot. They've got a new regular in me!!! Plus the lunch specials look way too good to pass up I need to try one week! Overall, I loved everything but I would say standouts for us were the love boat (that damn fried avocado was insanely good), the seared salmon (10000/10), and the salmon sashimi. As well as any of the specialty rolls you're in for a treat. and if you like swiss cheese try the OMG roll!! it comes out in a swan on fire heard it's poppin here on the weekends. expect a wait or come during the week to be sat immediately!! we came on a wednesday night and there was no wait.

Wabi Sabi by far is one of the best sushi restaurants in New Jersey!…read more As a restaurant owner myself, I know how much work goes on behind the scenes to create a great dining experience -- and this sushi spot is doing it right. The fish was incredibly fresh, the rolls were well balanced, and everything came out looking as good as it tasted. What stood out to me most was the consistency and attention to detail. The staff was friendly, service flowed smoothly, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. It's always nice to support places that clearly care about their craft. If you love good sushi, this restaurant is absolutely worth a visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back.

If you are a true sushi purist, you know that the best experiences often hide behind the most…read moreunassuming storefronts. This place is the definition of a hidden gem--a masterclass in traditional sushi sitting quietly on a culinary wasteland of a street. The commitment to quality here is staggering. This isn't your standard neighborhood joint slinging spicy mayo rolls; the seafood here boasts absolute freshness, with rare fish flown in weekly directly from Japan. You will find cuts here that are nearly impossible to source at standard sushi restaurants, elevating the experience to something you'd typically only find at an exclusive omakase counter. Let's talk about the tuna. The vast majority of sushi spots try to pass off cheap, frozen yellowfin as a premium offering. Not here. They source incredibly high-quality Spanish Bluefin--the exact same caliber of fish utilized by Michelin-starred establishments. What truly sets them apart is their ability to offer the complete trinity of bluefin cuts: the deep, ruby-red lean akami, the perfectly marbled chu-toro, and the rich, melt-in-your-mouth o-toro. The menu reads like a love letter to the ocean. Finding high-grade yellowtail belly can be a challenge, but here, it is a staple of exceptional quality. For those with an adventurous and educated palate, the chefs regularly feature incredibly hard-to-find selections like itoyori (golden threadfin bream), mejina (opaleye), and a luxuriously rich fatty bonito. The uni deserves its own paragraph. Sea urchin can be a gamble at lesser restaurants, but here it is pristine. On any given night, you might be lucky enough to find both creamy California uni and the briny, delicate Hokkaido uni available for side-by-side comparison. Another testament to their traditional approach and culinary respect is how they utilize the week's fresh catch to craft a warm, incredibly tasty fish head soup. It is a deeply comforting, umami-rich broth that extracts every ounce of flavor from the premium seafood they bring in, showcasing a level of authenticity you rarely see anymore. While the menu does offer French-inspired dishes and various hot kitchen items, let me be clear: you are here for the sushi. The hot food isn't bad by any means, but if you truly want a culinary experience, do not waste precious stomach space on it. You are here for the raw fish. The singular exception to this rule is the pork gyoza--they are remarkably juicy and absolutely worth the order. Do not skip dessert. In many sushi restaurants, desserts are an afterthought, but here they are top-notch and entirely homemade. The Japanese flan is impossibly silky and decadent. However, the true star is the crème brûlée cheesecake--it is remarkably smooth, slicing effortlessly at the touch of a fork, with a deeply satisfying flavor profile that entirely avoids being overly sweet. I have to address the elephant in the neighborhood: this place absolutely destroys Morimoto down the street. Morimoto has become a tourist trap resting on a recognizable name, employing inexperienced chefs to cater to the sheep-like masses who prioritize a flashy dining room over authentic taste. If you actually understand and respect true sushi, you skip the theatrical nonsense down the street and come here. Let's also be brutally honest about the price point: excellence comes at a premium. This is an uncompromising, high-end culinary experience, and the bill reflects the quality of ingredients flown in from Japan. If you are a bargain hunter, looking for cheap eats, or aren't willing to pay for top-tier craftsmanship, save your time and look elsewhere. This establishment is for serious diners who understand the value of good sushi and aren't just looking for a good enough "AYCE" experience.

I've had this spot saved in my bookmarks for so long, I'm so excited I finally got to come here!!…read moreReservations are easy and they allow cancellations for at least 4 hours before without a fee. But who cares about that right? Let's get to the food. Everything on the menu sounded and looked delicious but we were most intrigued by the kaisendon and the hitsumabushi. The Mentaiko spaghetti as well -- which was unlike any other Mentaiko spaghetti I've had before ! Everything was so delicious, fresh, and full of umami. Our favorite dish was definitely the hitsumabushi, which you can enjoy 4 different ways. Staff are all so kind and sweet and explains everything to you thoroughly. 10/10 recommend and 10/10 will come back!

Came here to celebrate my birthday with family. Giving this a 4.5 and looking forward to coming…read moreback again! Really liked the mushroom salad. It had lots of lotus chips and greens...delicious! We also got the assorted tempura which was good - the dipping was came out very warm - so it was a nice addition on a windy cold day. The sabazushi was a bit too fishy for me. We tried both the Eel and the wagyu bowl sets between 4 people. I liked the wagyu more than the eel but mixing it was a bit rough. I'd recommend mixing the egg yolk with the rice and then adding the wagyu pieces back in. The service was well timed for our food and things came 1 after another. Unfortunately, they sold out of the matcha mochi the day we went so we opted for the mango parfait instead. It tasted ok but I would have rather had the mochi instead.
