    I think I found my new sushi spot! Blu sushi was fresh and delicious. Rolls were made very well. The veggie gyozas were a nice starter and the sushi pizza was well made. It is byob. Ambiance was nice and casual but a little elevated.

    So I am a regular at another Ridgewood sushi joint and people always talk about Blu and if we have tried it. Well when we were craving sushi for the second time in a week I said let's try it to change up the selection. Well it was phenomenal. Service was great. The rolls were all fresh and delicious. Each one better than the last. Wonderful presentation. They were crazy tasty. It's nice to know there is another great sushi place here. I try sushi at places people recommend as good and nothing compares to what I was used to. This does. It's as good as I have had. So we will now cycle between them because they have different options. You won't be sorry you tried this.

    Sushi & Sashimi Boat for Two and fatty tuna (toro)
    Abigail L.

    Blu Sushi is officially our new favorite sushi spot. This small, intimate BYOB restaurant is a hidden gem with incredibly fresh seafood and friendly, attentive staff who never rush you. Reservations are by phone only, which adds to its charm. We started with the miso soup, kani salad, and shrimp tempura--all delicious. The miso soup was flavorful, the kani salad was fresh, and the tempura had a perfectly light, crisp batter. For rolls, the Surf & Turf and Iso Maki are absolute must-orders. The Sushi & Sashimi Boat for Two is generous enough for 3-4 people if you add appetizers or rolls. The first thing you'll notice is the freshness, especially the fatty tuna (toro), it truly melts in your mouth. As big sushi fans who've been to Japan, we can confidently say Blu Sushi delivers exceptional quality. If you appreciate pristine seafood, thoughtful preparation, and a warm, intimate setting, Blu Sushi is a true gem and an absolute must-visit.

    Delicious makisushi

    This was a great place to have a meal for a date night. We made a reservation over the phone, and it was a small, intimate, BYOB restaurant. The place isn't too big, but the service was great. The presentation and the food was also delicious. We ordered edamame to share and then 4 rolls to split, which was more than enough food. I cannot recall the names of the makisushi rolls but they were absolutely delicious. I would come back again!

    Amazing roll and BND roll

    Fresh and delicious sushi on the west side of Ridgewood. Make a reservation especially on the weekends. The staff is so kind and helpful. We were debating extra rolls to get and our waitress helped us so much!

    Yellowtail Scallion Roll, Flying Fish Roe Sushi 2 Pcs
    Samantha Y.

    I got takeout sushi from Blu. Sushi is one of my favorite foods, and I wanted to try something new. I got a free miso soup which was nice, and tasted more earthy or umami tasting than others. My disappointment came with the Sushi combo. The pieces of sashimi were smaller than the rice beneath it. The taste of the sushi was pretty good, though. The hostess was nice enough to open up my order when I picked it up to make sure it was brown rice, like I asked. I appreciated that hospitality. The yellowtail scallion roll was by far my favorite, and a must try. The restaurant inside, although I didn't eat there, was cute, quaint, and clean.

    YUM. was looking for a yummy sushi place in the area and decided to check out Blu Sushi because of the reviews and the pictures looked promising. i'm so glad we did because we thourouly enjoyed this cozy sushi spot! the rolls were tasty, noticeably fresh and affordable! the staff was super friendly and engaging you could tell they genuinely want to know if you enjoyed the meal. our favorite member was the chef after learning about how meticulous he is with sushi prep and how kind he was. ratings: philadelphia roll 7/10: tasty and fresh, wasn't expecting the cucumber in place of the typical avocado pairing but wasn't a bad swap. comes in 6 pieces. $7.50 spicy salmon roll 8/10: good taste and freshness, not my fav but my husband likes it. $7.50 golden billie 8/10: typically don't like soy paper rolls but with all the fresh fish they put inside and the tangy wasabi mayo i ended up liking this roll. was missing a crunch but was a soft fresh roll. 8-10 pieces: $17 angry bird roll 9/10: wrapped in soy paper with shrimp tempura, was surprised at the great taste of this roll, lots of flavor and the shrimp tempura was made to order with a thin breading so it gave a luxury taste. definitely the best roll we ordered. 10 pieces (not pictured) $17 vanilla and mango mochi 6/10: was yummy but had better! $5 for 2

    Vegetable gyoza steamed
    Cynthia F.

    I love the vegetable spring rolls; comes with great sweet and spicy sauce. I also love the steamed vegetable gyoza. I ate them with the leftover sauce from the spring rolls. Nice filling portion. Service always excellent.

    Sushi is so fresh.  Sushi Deluxe

    First time visiting Blu Sushi. Tired to get in for a while but the place is small and you need reservations. Finally got one. What an experience. The staff is so nice. Ask them for recommendations. Albacore White Tuna was insane. Fresh and so tasty. The salmon and tuna were so fresh. They melted on my tongue. White tail jalapeño appetizer and edamame were excellent. We recently tried Sushi Cafe in Ho-Ho-Kus and we thought that was excellent. Blu is probably our #1 in the area. Sushi cafe is also very very good but Blu taste like your upscale Manhattan restaurant. Make a reservation. Enjoy

    Sushi SUSHI AND SUSHIMI BOAT FOR 2
    Sokha L.

    Sushi, sashami, rolls were all good. They ran out of the toro jalapeño sashami that evening but it was all good. We ordered the yellowtail jalapeño which is my favorite every sushi restaurant I go to. Customer service staff was on it and the sushi chef was attentive as well. Small joint and it was cozy. It is a BYOB establishment. So we brought the beers, hard liquor, and the sake! They had all the right glassware for each type of drink. Brought out plenty of ice for our drinks and even an ice bucket to keep our bottles cold. They are on the list for when I'm in Ridgewood.

    Angry bird roll - so good!

Yet in many Japanese restaurants, I've found that no matter when I revisit and order their omakase, the dishes, from appetizers to sushi and sashimi, all remain the same. Thankfully, this was not the case at Shumi. Here, the chefs truly strive to create edible masterpieces. I had the pleasure of enjoying innovative appetizers along with nigiri that simply melted in my mouth. Shumi's omakase was once priced at $150 per person, but in a thoughtful move to accommodate their customers, they adjusted it to $95 per person without compromising the quality of their fish. I will note that the pieces are smaller, but they still deliver the freshest taste. The staff is exceptionally gracious, dedicated to ensuring a wonderful dining experience. They are quick to replenish your tea or fill your glass as soon as it's half empty. I did, however, find the restaurant a bit chilly, and the music was a little too loud, making it difficult to hear the staff as they described each type of fish. For those who followed Master Chef Kunihiko "Ike" Aikasa from the original Shumi in Somerville, he sold that business before opening this new location in Ridgewood, which has been open since 2017. Here, he has partnered with owner David Seo. The aesthetic of the new restaurant remains clean and bright. In a competitive town like Ridgewood, where locals expect restaurants to bring their A-game, Shumi has obviously stood the test of time. I wish them many more years of excellence. Rating scale: Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Cleanliness: 4.5/5 Food: 5/5 Overall: I'd give it 4.5 stars, but I rounded it up to 5 stars.

However, it did get pretty busy around 7 PM, but there were still available seats. For a restaurant in this area, it was pretty big with quite a few tables inside. The menu was very typical of any local neighborhood Japanese restaurant - Japanese soups and salads, appetizers, entrees like teriyaki dishes, noodles/udons, rice entrees and lots of different sushi and sushi rolls. Nothing on the menu will blow you away or be surprising, but it'll satisfy your Japanese food craving if that's what you're seeking. Our family ordered Edamame and Fried Gyoza to start and both were good. The Gyoza was actually better than I anticipated, arriving at our table hot and crispy. For entrees, we ordered our kids the Salmon Teriyaki, which was solid. There was a lot of teriyaki sauce on the salmon and the salmon was not overly cooked or dry, so that was a plus. I ordered 3 regular sushi rolls - Spicy Crab, Spicy Yellowtail and Spicy Salmon - and all were good and pretty much what I expected. My wife ordered the Sushi Regular, which came with 8 pieces of sushi and a California Roll. Once again, all good. Nothing that was off about any of it. We also ordered a Nabeyaki Udon, but I didn't get to try any of it, however, our kids ate a lot of it, which was a good sign that it was good. Like I said, there was nothing that was bad here and everything was good, but nothing is spectacular either. If you're just seeking Japanese food/sushi and need to get your fix on, the food at Kumo will hit that spot.
