    The sushi here is very robust and satisfying. I love that each roll has plenty of items and creativity. It's beautiful and filling and will not leave you wanting. Some places you go you feel like Goku you can eat 20 plates and still feel hungry, well not here. The service is great and the ambiance is nice, dim, and intimate. I love getting the booth by the window.

    My fiancé and I ordered takeout from Yamada. The wait time was 40 min on a weekend night, which was fine for us. We ordered a spicy California roll, shrimp tempura roll, and sweet potato. They gave us a miso soup for free which was nice of them! However when we started our meal we saw that the majority of the rolls were breaking apart so fast and it was hard to eat them without using a fork to scoop up the roll.

    My rating will certainly be biased as I probably keep this business alive just by myself. Yamada Sushi is located hidden among other businesses on Park Avenue in Rutherford and offers very good sushi at reasonable prices. They have a BYOB policy (I believe) and are very good at accommodating people when they are not busy. Yamada has numerous unique sushi rolls they offer, my favorite being the Jumbo Combo roll (I do not even order it anymore, they know what I am going to get). Many times the service maybe not being 100% attentive, but they are very kind and always offering more than the average sushi place, including spring rolls and sometimes desserts. Charlie is an amazing itamae and runs a good business that I hope stays around for a very long time.

    Please someone give this restaurant a new cd or playlist! During the hour and half we were having dinner there they had the same song on repeat. At first you don't even realize until you have then you can't pay attention to anything else but that same song that will play continuously in your head for days and haunt your dreams. But on to the food! The rolls were delicious and plentiful, we tried several different special rolls and they were all different and surprising. No such thing as the same roll, just change the name and add a different sauce here. Service was fast and attentive. Pro- byob and there's a liquor store close by.

    This place was good. My sushi was average. I got the Charlie Special roll and it was spicy even though it didn't say so on the menu. And I don't really like things too spicy. It just overpowered the flavor. The shrimp shumai app was good, again nothing special. They did give us complimentary edamame, which my friend who has been here before said that never happened before when she was there. So not sure if its consistent. The edamame though were very good, had the right amount of salt on them. This place is BYOB as most places are in Rutherford as my friend tells me its hard to get a liquor license. So we brought wine and they supplied the glasses. My friend had udon. She loves the udon bowl here. Comes with two pieces of shrimp tempura and some california roll too. Overally okay. I did like the atmoshphere and we got a nice booth by the window and was able to talk and catch-up. Next time im in Rutherford though I would want to try somewhere else.

    One of my favorite places to eat sushi! You can taste the freshness in every bite. I always recommend this place to my sushi eating friends.

    We came here with the kids yesterday for lunch and ordered some hot apps and sushi. It was absolutely delicious and we all loved it! The service was so friendly and the food came out quickly. We can't wait to go back for some more. I highly recommend this place, everything was delicious!

    Rainbow roll and two other special rolls...can't recall what they were

    Hells bells, this place took me by surprise! Passing it 1,000 times and never trying it was a true sin. Small place with not a lot of seating and not a lot of ambiance. It was a Tuesday night so it was only us and a few other couples. We both decided to go the sushi roll route instead of the sashimi route. Long day and we were both craving some rice carbs. The rolls were presented nicely and they delivered on taste. I hate to say that the "sushi was fresh" because Goddamn, sushi better always be fresh...it's raw fish, for crying out loud! But nevertheless, the salmon was melt-in-your-mouth amazing and the rice was the right temperature and seasoned very well. Street parking only, which can be a pain in the bodangs in Rutherford. You don't need to pay the meter past 6:00 PM, so save your quarters. They offer lunch specials, however, they close for their own lunch break between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM on weekdays. Roll-tastic!

    Front desk doesn't have anybody who speaks English, not enough room to step in if it's raining, no dine in. A joke of a place

First time…read morecoming here and it's been on my Yelp list for so long that I'm so happy I made myself the time to come here with a cousin! I made reservations about 2 weeks in advanced for 12pm and we lucked out with NJ weather and sat outside on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Because it was Mother's Day, they had 2 set omakase experiences to choose from. We decided to splurge and did the chef tasting. I couldn't even tell you everything I put in my mouth, but just know everything was SO fresh that the fish melted in your mouth. The owner Jo Jo came out to greet us, explained the menu to us, and even acknowledged the fact that the music outdoors was way too loud and he turned it down. He was extremely friendly and personable along with the rest of the waitstaff. The service could not have been any better. The sushi was SO fresh I literally could've eaten 50 more pieces if I didn't do dinner that night. I'm so happy that I was able to experience the tasting menu and told my husband we have to come back. The setting was intimate and small and it just had such a good vibe. Being outdoors on a beautiful day was a nice surprise. I can't say enough nice things about this place and the staff and the FOOD. I highly recommend Butterfish. Just make the reservation. You won't regret it.

The menu has been curated by Michelin star chefs, and the food reflected that. Expertly crafted rolls and flawless execution, you won't be disappointed. Service was spectacular. They asked at first if there were any allergies and from the on plate after plate of deliciousness. Their servers explained every roll and its ingredients. My favorite was a foie gras roll. I know... sounds weird right but this was an absolute banger. Dessert? Went for a black seasame Gelato and boy it was an absolute closer to a phenomenal meal. Trendy and hip, this place is perfect for a date night.

They have an extensive menu with sushi, sashimi, teriyaki, noodles, soup, salads, fusion appetizers, etc. They even have some Korean items like bulgogi, sundubu, and bibimbap. Prices are reasonable. I called and placed a take-out order near closing time. The employee was accommodating, pleasant, and told me my order would be ready in 15 minutes. I drove over and was able to find street parking easily. The interior is casual and spacious, but a little dreary and outdated. They have exposed brick walls, wood tables, and hanging light fixtures. My food was prepared on time. I ordered: *Salmon Lover - 4 pieces of sushi, 4 pieces of sashimi, 6 piece roll ($20.50) *Tuna Lover - 4 pieces of sushi, 4 pieces of sashimi, 6 piece roll ($20.50) The salmon and tuna were fresh in taste, texture, and smell. Vibrant colors, firm and smooth textures, and delicate flavors! The sushi rolls had the right fish to rice ratio. The rice could've been more seasoned. The miso soup was warm, savory, and comforting. Not the best sushi I've ever had, but it did the job of satisfying my cravings. I would return to try their special rolls!
