Small, cozy place run by a sweet husband and wife team. AMAZING sushi, particularly the Momo Yama Roll, the Banzai Roll, and the In & Out Roll. Homemade Ginger dressing was delicious as well. Would definitely come back here agai read more

Ino sushi was some of the best sushi I've ever had. The salmon avacado roll was super delicious and the salmon was fresh and melted in your mouth. The shrimp tempura roll was also super fresh and delicious and super flavorful. The insane of the restaurant is very clean and looks like an authentic Japanese sushi bar. read more

My wife and I have been coming here for years, and it never does us wrong. By far my favorite sushi restaurant. Super fresh fish, simple yet flavorful ingredients and roll combinations - none of that over sauced crap you get at a lot of other places which are trying to cover up their lackluster quality. It's a family run establishment and the duo that run it are kind, generous and welcoming. It's a small place, but that's ok--it's not trying to be anything more than a simple sushi restaurant with great quality food. Highly recommend you give it a try. read more

Came back recently after a a few years, and i still love this place. my friend pointed out how simple the menu is, and i love it. the basic rolls sometimes are what is key especially since americanized rolls are sometimes towered up with so much, the flavors tend to blend in together. they do carry and have a small list of special rolls, but i like that its small. the service was slow, but thats expected since its one person making up the rolls. there were quite a few orders bring picked up tho, so im sure that added to it. otherwise, everything flowed nicely. i love being able to sit at the sushi bar, i hope they never change that. the kani/crab salad is still a must get. i like that its not too much mayo and has a nice spice level. the rice is cooked just right with the rolls. i enjoyed my yellowtail roll - fresh and had a nice crunch. i highly suggest the bonzai roll, it has unique ingredients, but it doesnt overpower the fish. read more

Stopped by for lunch and came away impressed. The restaurant has bar seating and is very clean and nicely decorated. Parking is easily available. It's small and would be easy to miss. As for the food I had the $10 lunch special which consisted of Miso Soup which was very good. I also had the California roll and spicy crab roll which were both excellent. The complimentary green tea was also very nice. I'm not exactly a sushi expert but I did enjoy the lunch and the owners were very nice. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

New to Clifton and we were craving Sushi. We passed by this place a few times and today was the night to try it out. We have happy bellies to say the least :) This place only serve sushi and a few bowls. No teriyaki dishes or ramen ..just sushi. You know it's good when they only make/specialize in Sushi. BYOB too! Enjoy and support local businesses read more

What a hidden gem! Magically discovered this place while we were in the area and starving. I wasn't sure if they were still open since their last Yelp review was 7 months ago. YO, it's SO good. We've ordered pick-up from Ino Sushi 4 times in the past month. The fish is super super fresh, their rice is amazing - super fresh, room temperature, honestly it's perfection. Their rolls are quality and the special rolls are cut into soooooo many pieces... Plenty of food! The rolls are a little heavy on the rice but honestly the rice is so good, you truly won't mind. We're working our way down the menu, ordering different rolls every time. We've also gone for sushi pieces and sashimi, both top notch. One time we arrived for pick-up and it wasn't ready yet so they gave us some hot teas, so sweet. The owners are lovely and friendly and kind. Following all COVID precautions. Please support this cutie little sushi place - you won't regret it! read more

Ino Sushi is a delightful little sushi restaurant that refreshingly just does sushi. If you're looking for teriyaki or tempura, you'll need to head elsewhere. Unlike Japan where you go to a sushi restaurant for sushi and if you want tempura you go to a tempura restaurant, most sushi restaurants in the U.S. serve a wide variety of Japanese foods that include sushi. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I enjoy restaurants that specialize, and that was one of the things that appealed to me about Ino Sushi. I didn't have a large meal. In fact, it was quite small; just a Yellowtail Roll with Scallion, but that single roll was excellent. The fish tasted bright and fresh. The nori was crisp and clearly high quality, and the presentation was beautiful. I also enjoyed the complimentary cold green tea they served. It was made with roasted barley and had a wonderfully nutty quality. The restaurant is a family run business and both the sushi chef and the lady working there (his wife I'm assuming) where gracious and friendly. I look forward to returning to Ino Sushi for a larger meal. read more

Ino Sushi - pink lady roll - Japanese Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

Ordered the Shrimp Tempura Roll ($10) and the Spicy Tuna Roll ($6) for a total of $17. It's was pretty good. The lady over the phone who took my order was very nice too. I would comeback only if I was really craving sushi and needed something close to me. Only bc it was a little too pricy to me as I've had cheaper and just as good sushi elsewhere. But overall good! And they should update their website to let customers know that due to COVID they open at 4pm instead of their listed hours, if you don't call you would never know! read more

Ino Sushi - Spicy Tuna Roll & Shrimp Tempura Roll - Japanese Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

This place has been here awhile but under different names. Its close to the Clifton Alwood theater so nice to get a snack although came here on a few occasions and they were closed, must have been a Monday?. This place seems to have a regulars crowd judging from the conversation and since they are in a Neighborhood area along with an apartment complex suspect their business is ok therefore guess most folks enjoy. I needed to make this place average as I felt the portion sizes were small the sushi just ok. Staff was of course friendly and wait not long. Place is small with table service and a sushi bar. Street parking for the most part is ok but you might have to walk if the area is busy. read more

A hole in the wall Authentic Japanese restaurant. The food was very fresh. We took our food to go and they packed it in a large container all combined. I would have thought it would be served in individual trays. The presentation was surprisingly good. The restaurant is extremely small and not recommended for large crowds. It was a very personable experience. Recommend for a to go sushi night. read more

So happy, I stopped in Ino Sushi again! This place continues to be awesome! The owners James and Christine are always so welcoming and gracious. The food continues to be excellent! As everyone knows, most places start out great and then they take a nosedive. Ino Sushi continues to soar upward! The Miso soup was my starter. The Pink Lady Roll followed. It was very light tasting for a Summer's Eve. This special roll ($12.00) has spicy tuna, cucumber, soy wrap, with their special sauce on top. Lastly, their new Black Sesame Mochi Ice Cream Dessert was light and delicious! If you want quality service and fresh sushi, "Ino Sushi"is the only place to go! read more

Ino Sushi - Bar area - Japanese Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

This is our favorite sushi place to go to. The atmosphere is really cozy and a very personal touch as it is prepared in front of you behind the glass counter. The sushi here is among the best tasting we have had anywhere else! Being a smaller space you don't get lost in the crown of many larger sushi places. Well the location is nice because it's right have a place here and go to the movies or vice versa and watch a movie and then come here for dinner after! Also you get a really good quality sushi without having to spend allot more money like other sushi restaurants that don't have the personal attentive to the food as other restaurants. They also include tea with the sushi unlike others that will push a sale of soda which, quite frankly, take away from the taste experiences of the sushi. read more

Wow! What a GEM! My girlfriend and I wanted some sushi and decided to give this place a try. First, the people running this restaurant are super friendly and welcoming. As soon as you walk in, you know the food will be good because it smells like fresh fish. Last, the taste did not let me down, every roll we ordered was divine. Definitely a must in Jersey... So happy I found this place. read more

Very cozy casual sushi spot. The space is a little small, all the seats are bar seats but I didn't mind it. I went Thursday night for dinner and it was just myself and my boyfriend the whole night. Our food was prepared quickly and was delish. Also very decently priced for the large portions. Most importantly, the sushi tasted veryyyyy fresh. My only downfall was the rather small selection of specialty rolls. They had about 15 which isn't a small number, but I also like the nonconventional style rolls that are deep fried or have crunchy flakes with crazy stuff in addition to the traditional style. Regardless, I'll still be back for another casual night! read more

Everything about this place is amazing. Food is fresh and delicious and the owners are just the sweetest ever. We've tried the ino roll, crazy roll, salmon sashimi, California roll, shu mai dumplings. I'm not sure I've tasted a better salmon in my life. It's a super small establishment, a husband and wife team and they put great care into their food and business. Definitely the best sushi in the area. read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem! We came here on a cold, rainy day and was kindly greeted by the hostess. She served us some delicious tea, which tasted like roasted rice served with liquid awesomeness. I ordered the spicy tuna roll, which was actually spicy! The tuna tasted as fresh as the sea. I also ordered the Flying Dragon roll that consisted of eel and shrimp tempura. The shrimp tempura could've had a little more meat but the roll was exquisitely scrumptious enough not to complain. This joint is a must try if you're craving for yummy sushi around the area. read more

Lovely couple running the resteraunt and really great food! I got the miso soup and giants roll and both were delicious! The miso soup was the best of any I've had. The shrimp tempura in the roll was still crispy and the salmon on top tasted very fresh. The house sauce made it perfect. Definitely will be coming back. read more

We stumbled upon this place by chance. My son, who was off from school was interested in sushi. I'm not from around Montclair so I was hesitant to try anyplace I was not familiar with. Ino appeared on yelp and had numerous rave reviews. We decided to take a chance on this restaurant. Ino is a small establishment. We were greeted warmly by two individuals who I assume were the owners of the restaurant. No tables are available in this establishment. The only place one can eat is at the sushi bar. Its kind of difficult to hold a conversation with more than one person however one could imagine a similar set up in Japan. The service was quick and the food was super fresh. The presentation of the food was perfect. The food was expensive but worth the price. I would return again if I was in the area. read more

Ino Sushi - Yummy. Ino specialty roll. - Japanese Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

My wife and I stopped into the sushi place we want to try it we live in Clifton we said why not. Upon entering the establishment the woman was very welcoming but the chef he was not welcoming at all almost like he had an attitude. there were a few people in the restaurant and he was laughing and joking with them and thanking them very much but when we got up to leave he didn't say a word to us I just felt a little slighted by that. Coming to the food the sushi rolls were mediocre less damn also we ordered sushi rolls without rice one of the rolls with cucumber where the cucumbers wraps was very large and an inedible also I order the specialty Roll which coinsisted of grilled salmon what it was the grill salmon was on the outside and crab meat was in the inside that was not on my order I was very unsatisfied and for the price for the two rolls I do not believe I will be going back againI would not recommend this place to sushi lovers take the extra time and go to Montclair they have a great sushi restaurant there read more

I've been venturing out and trying to find a new sushi spot, and this joint is definitely on my return list. It located on Market Street in Clifton, so parking is horrible. You got a few options for parking (street and metered). We ventured in on a Friday night, about a hour before they were closing. The place was completely dead, no other patrons inside. The owners were super warm, and inviting. The store front is smaller, but it is cozy. We sat directly at the sushi bar, which was awesome because we got to watch all the action. So for starters, we got the crab salad (kani salad, essentially), which was basically all crab, no fillers. There was definitely a spicy mayo with it, with a mild kick. Next we ordered two basic rolls (spicy yellowtail + spicy salmon), and two specialty (banzai + flying dragon**). The flying dragon was the winner of the evening though, it was bursting with flavor, the eel was delicious. The freshness and quality of the fish was amazing, no complaints here. It is BYOB, and conveniently, there is a liquor store across the street. Happy eatings! read more

Fresh, delicious sushi at reasonable prices. Bar seating only. I got take out. Super nice staff. There was a wait (like 2 minutes) so the lady gave me a little to go cup of tea. Both the man/woman were really friendly - hello & goodbye - hey, you don't get that everywhere. Would definitely order from here again. read more

4.5 Stars *crab salad (yes!! Loved how they shredded the imitation crab meat and tossed it with a spicy mayo like sauce, so it felt like you were eating noodles. They had drizzled this darker sauce on the plate first.. Seems reminiscent of eel sauce and then the crab salad was placed on top. I felt like that sauce gave the dish some of the sweetness it needed to feel complete) *Ino special roll, green dragon roll, butterfly roll, momo yama roll (all these rolls were delicious but I have to make a special shout out to the Ino Special and Momo Yama, both of which had shrimp tempura inside. This tempura was amazing!!!! Super light and the batter was flavored which made it even better. Definitely don't need sauce with any of these rolls and if you dip these, you are not doing them any justice. Just eat them as they come and appreciate the freshness of the raw fish and as well as the cooked items. *mochi ice cream (We had the mango, red bean and green tea flavored. Personally the green tea mochi has the most distinct flavor and I enjoyed that more than the others. Pretty sure these are store bought so I'm not going to get hung up on these. Haha.) This place is so cute!!! The restaurant is pretty much a sushi bar, so everyone sits on bar stools.. no tables here. The menus are framed and directly in front of you, so you can take a look at what you want as soon as you are seated. This is a mom and pop shop, so the wife takes orders and is at the register while hubby is preparing at behind the counter. They are super polite, very accommodating and hospitable. It's BYOB so feel free to bring a bottle of your choice. I like that the menu is more compact. Food is fresh. Prices are reasonable. I will 100% return!!!!! read more

Have to love this quaint sushi bar owned by a couple. When gets busy service isn't fast but if you want some real fresh sushi this is the place to go. Fresh and great presentation. There hasn't been a meal here yet that I or my family hasn't loved. Realize this is a sushi bar. There is only a bar to sit at no individual tables so can get tight on a busy night but well worth the wait. read more

Ino Sushi - My take out if chirashi. Have to love that the taste matches the presentation - Japanese Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

Excellent food. Quality ingredients. It's a small family run place that I hope sticks around.

The Story: Meeting up with my cousin and catching up on girl talk. Saw this place had 5 stars and decided to give it a go. Food: The sushi was fresh. I love their kani salad - it had more of a crabby taste and a hint of spiciness. I would definitely come again but I don't know if its the "BEST SUSHI IN NEW JERSEY". If I'm in the area, sure! Price: Pretty average for sushi. About $10-13 per special roll. $5-6 for regular rolls. . Decor: Theres only bar seating, limited space but its cozy. I love their soy sauce dispensers lol Service: Run by mom and pop. We came in before their dinner rush so we got our food pretty quickly. Parking & Finding the Place: I had a little trouble getting here and parked on the wrong side of the street but since I'm not from the area that is understandable. There is plenty of street parking though... PS. I wish I've tried the mochi ice cream read more

This place is superb! I've been to this place before but it was called Osaka at the time. It was good then but I'm assuming this is new management and it's even better! To my surprise we were welcomed with tea. The woman who greeted us was extremely nice and attentive from beginning to end. I came with my friend and we both ordered the lunch special which was a miso soup and the In & Out Roll; both were delicious! We then got Mochi for dessert. He chose strawberry and I chose green tea. It was the perfect size to satisfy my sweet tooth. Food was well presented and delicious and the hosts were amazing. This has been and will continue to be our go-to place. I recommend this place to everyone. Note: This place is pretty small but very comfortable. Well worth it. read more

I have been here several times and the sushi was consistently delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. They serve complimentary hot tea. The shumi is very tasty. There is a good variety of rolls.

What a hidden Gem! The best sushi that I've had in this area. I can't believe I've been missing out on this for almost a year. The owners are clearly committed to reach sushi perfection. We got here 5 past 5 but the place wasn't opened yet. Well we waited, and it really paid off. I was welcomed with a cup of hot tea which was a great start. I ordered the spicy tuna maki roll. The spiciness was on target. I also had the Chef's role (check out the pic, it was epic). God I wish it wasn't over that quickly. I also smooched some crab salad and a few pieces of the salmon lover roll off my wife's plate. Definitely an illegal move but uncontrollable. We wanted to satisfy our palate even more so we shared a rainbow roll for the final act. The quality of the sushi and the reasonable prices make Ino Sushi an outstanding business. I am really glad we were the only ones sitting in the restaurant at the time. We could really appreciate the quality of the food and the great service provided. I'll keep this place on my food radar for a while. read more
