Nice pleasant surprise. A small hole in the wall type of restaurant but the sushi was surprisingly fresh and came out fast. Wait staff was great and the food amazing. I would come back again. read more

Solid local sushi spot with a chill vibe. Sushi and Sashimi Special ($75) - This party platter comes with 12 pieces of sushi, 18 pieces of sashimi, 6 piece spicy tuna naruto roll, and 6 piece california roll. I think it would be enough to feed 2 people, but if you have more than that, you probably want to order another roll or two. Everything here was pretty good. The fish seemed average freshness. The naruto roll was unique with cucumber around the outside, though the tuna was not really spicy. I specifically thought the sea bream (white fish) sashimi was good, as it had a creamy taste and consistency. Julie Roll ($15) - This roll was delicious, with a nice combo of yellowtail, salmon, and tuna in one roll. In addition, there was mango for some sweetness, avocado, and cucumber in there. It was topped with red fish eggs and had a soy wrapper around it, which made it a little unique. Beauty and Beast Roll ($15) - This is sort of a 2-in-1 roll, as half of the pieces have tuna on top and half have avocado on top. There is also shrimp tempura inside along with cucumber and eel. Another tasty roll. The restaurant has a very chill vibe inside. There were a couple others dining in as well for Sunday lunch. The staff are super friendly and even gave us a side of edamame on the house. The service speed was pretty quick. Overall, if you are in the mood for some sushi (either dining in or take-out), I think Nigiri Sushi would be a very good option, particularly if you are in the Franklin Lakes area. read more

We love Nigiri! The sushi is always fresh, the miso soup is wonderful, and The conor roll may be my favorite menu item in all of NJ! We've also gotten takeout and the food stays just as fresh. I could eat here every week and not get tored of it. The interior is petite and very straightforward and limited to a few groups of 2-4. Not exactly the most romantic sushi spot, but the food and service is unbeatable. The staff is the kindest group of people, and Conveniently BYOB with a nice liquor store in the same(ish) parking lot. Already dreaming of the next time we can have Nigiri! read more

The absolute best sushi in the area! Julie is great! And all the Chefs are so nice when we go there or pick up!

Services was not that great. My water smelled terrible. I was not able to drink it. The soy sauce was the bad kind. Ruined the sushi more.

Excellent Japanese sushi, service is great,. Julie is sweet hostess. Friendly and warm ambiance​ read more

Nigiri Sushi - Mixed delicious sushi expertly prepared by the chef that we all enjoyed. Julie was our sweet and efficient hostess - Sushi Bars Near Me - Franklin Lakes, New Jersey

I do not get the hype about this place. It is not somewhere I would ever go back to. It was very disappointing.. The first thing I noticed was the interior. It was a bit dingy looking and it definitely needs a coat of paint and some new chairs and an update. , They seem to do a huge amount of takeout, and they definitely don't know how to handle when people are sitting there eating. I did feel bad for our waitress. She was trying to take care of the tables, answer the phone pack orders, and hand the orders to the pick up customers. That's too much. We started with a Kani salad. I saw a bowl sitting on the sushi station for about ten minutes. Sure enough that was ours and it arrived mushy and warm at that point. The rolls were as much of a disappointment. They were flavorless and mushy and falling apart. I would not come back here I also saw a worker drop the sauce containers on the floor and put them right back in the counter read more

Hands down the best tasting sushi I've had here in NJ. Will be coming back to try all their other items on the menu.

Freshest sushi around. Staff is kind and grateful. Bring some wine and eat there in peace.

Nigiri is consistently excellent! The best sushi in north Jersey. The owners are extremely nice and always take care of their customers. I love the tekka don, hurricane roll, and Oakland roll. I can trust that the fish is fresh! This was my first meal after giving birth because I missed Nigiri sushi so much! read more

I usually come here during lunch and they have great lunch specials (I usually get the 3 roll special - the spicy tuna, spicy salmon & tuna avocado roll are always great choices) , it's one of my go to sushi places in the area - it's quick and always hits the spot. The staff is friendly and welcome. I've only tried the sushi here (no kitchen items yet) and it's delicious. The service is great - they always manage to get food out in a timely matter and the staff always makes sure your beverages are filled up and never low. Parking is never an issue as it's part of a plaza. Come check it out if you're in the area! read more

I've order from here dozens of times. They have the best selection of specialty rolls and more in the area. The team behind Nigiri is super respectful and always greats anyone walking in with a loud "hello" or "welcome". I love coming here for sushi anytime. Thank you Nigiri for being so great read more

Best sushi around. Wouldn't go anywhere else. The fish is so fresh and the owners are the sweetest!!!

Absolutely incredible! I'm so glad I discovered this place while in town visiting a friend. I will definitely be back all the rolls are amazing. Especially the Andy Roll and the No Money Roll! Don't look elsewhere this is a sushi slam dunk. read more

Super fresh sushi with great service at an affordable price! I recently reviewed Hiura in Fort lee as the best sushi I've ever had. I figured it's only fair I divide this category into Japanese sushi and Western Sushi. While Hiura remains my favorite Japanese sushi restaurant, Nigiri Sushi has won my heart as my favorite western sushi spot (the main difference being that western sushi uses many more ingredients than Japanese sushi). All of the staff, including the sushi chef behind the counter, greeted us as we entered. We got the No Money roll, spicy salmon roll, boston roll, shrimp tempura roll, and the chicken teriyaki box, which all came with free miso soup and salad. The chef was even nice enough to give us each a piece of nigiri to start and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. All of the food was delicious, but my favorites were the no money roll and the spicy salmon roll. I was also happy to see that when they served the food, they clearly explained what each roll on our plate was, rather than just stating each dish's name. The only thing I wished they had was more non-sushi options, but if that's the cost of fresh sushi at an affordable price, I won't complain. Definitely would come again! read more

I'd eat every meal here for the rest of my life and be happy. Something about their fish is just always better and better every time we go (which is one if not more times a week). No matter what day of the week it is, it's always fresh. The best part is that the sushi chef knows exactly how to cut the pieces so they break perfectly in your mouth, and just the right size so you don't feel like you have a chunk of goo in your mouth like other places. Even menu items that aren't fish are great here. I have to rave about a few of my favorite items. The seared salmon sashimi is incredible, I love love love the hurricane roll, and I'll get the Julie Roll and Oakland roll every time. Amazing amazing sushi. By far the best for miles. read more

It's taken me a while to find my absolute favorite sushi spot, but Nigiri is the ABSOLUTE BEST! First of all, Julie is WONDERFUL! She is incredibly friendly and just an absolute doll! She is so accommodating when it comes to the menu, you can really change any single roll you want to make it your own. I use to eat sushi rolls the way they were, specialty rolls with crunch, sauce etc. Nigiri does an excellent job with all of their specialty rolls, salads, soup, etc. Fish is ALWAYS super fresh!!!! Now, my husband and I have changed our lifestyle to be a little bit healthier. We now request our specialty rolls without rice!!! (Keto/low carb) Julie makes sure all of our favorite specialty rolls are done that way! No rice, no crunch, sauce on the side. And guess what? It is BEYOND DELICIOUS!!!!! Also, if you dine here frequently, Julie saves your order on the side so when you walk in, they know exactly what you want! 10000x highly recommend !!! I can't say enough about this establishment. So glad it is so local to me! read more

Meh...2.5...still prefer Corroco and Sakura. Ordered several rolls which were pretty good: rainbow, French kiss, shrimp tempura, gyoza and plain noodles for the kids. Unfortunately there was a mosquito in the udon noodles which my son noticed so I'm taking off a star for not catching the bug before serving it. read more

Good place for sushi. Very friendly and the food is good. I'd say to try them. My review is too short so I am writing to make it longer. read more

I ate here yesterday with friends+kids and was really impressed. The appetizers and miso were all tasty, but more importantly, we all loved our specialty rolls and sashimi. The fish was very FRESH and delicious. The service was also attentive and pleasant. The seating in the restaurant is simple, but with nice decor and obvious cleanliness. This may now be our new favorite sushi spot in NJ. read more

Fresh sushi - check Friendly staff - check Convenient location - check Clean and comfortable interior- check Good pricing - check What more can you ask for, stop thinking and just go already. We stopped by today at lunch to get some sashimi and had a great meal. We ordered the sashimi deluxe each. Yes at $29 for a lunch dish is not an everyday thing but hey it's Friday. What you get is a soup, salad and then your plate of 18 pieces of assorted sashimi. They are much bigger cuts and could easily be cut up into 36 pieces at some other sushi place. You also get a spicy salmon roll wrapped in a rice less roll which make this dish low carb as well. I have to admit that there was so much food that I couldn't even finish it. The sashimi was fresh and overall the meal was great. read more

Always fresh, delicious and served with a smile. Julie and the crew are great! We have eaten in, but we love to get takeout from here. read more

Good sushi and rolls, all fresh and creative. The service was also good. Nothing fancy, nothing expensive a solid 4. Enjoy!!

This place is great! They focus mainly on just sushi with a few kitchen entree items. The fish is fresh and the employees are super friendly. When I order take-out, they always throw something extra in for free. Can't say enough great things about them. read more

This is my husbands favorite sushi place. We eat here like 2-3 times a month. We're never disappointed with the food and their quick service. The food is always so fresh and beautifully presented. We can't wait till our next sushi night! read more

Very friendly staff & owner, most delicious food ever! This place has at least 100 different combinations of sushi and other food that you can choose from. Prices are so worth it, and the ingredients are so fresh! You can tell the level of freshness from how vivid the colors look! The rice for the sushi was nicely lukewarm, and the presentation was eye pleasing! A must-go if you're in the area for sushi! read more

Love the sake don dish here it's delicious and the only place that serves this amount of salmon on their menu. Most places serve Take don which is tuna over rice but I'm strictly a salmon lover so it's great his place does that version and they deliver. read more

Best sushi in Franklin Lakes! The sushi is always fresh, the service is wonderful and delivery is quick.

My go to sushi place! been going for years...we do takeout a lot from here. Julie roll is my person favorite...light and fresh roll. The rolls are generously sized as well as the sushi and sashimi. As far as service/staff you couldn't ask for nicer people. Julie is a sweetheart and always make you feel welcome and appreciated. Hidden little gem in Franklin Lakes. read more

Absolutely love this place. With it being so close to home and it's quality of sushi is top tier for the area, this is the place to eat. With COVID and everything going on we have had to do takeout and the whole process has been seamless without a loss of quality. Although I miss sitting down and enjoying my meal at the restaurant, it still tastes great at home. The service here is what really puts it over others, the waitress and chefs all greet you when you enter and say goodbye when you leave and make you feel appreciated for your support. I will continue to be a frequent customer and I truly believe this place is a catch. read more

Got delivery from here last night and it was so good!! It's been a while since we had sushi and I don't remember our last experience here being quite this good. Everything was outstanding-we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! read more

Sushi gem. Just went around the town to look for snack and came across this place. Sushi is just rice and fish, and they did a really good job on the rice. Just enough vinegar and sugar to give taste to the rice. The fish were cut nicely where 1 side of the fish not sticking to the rice to bw dipped to soy sauce. The bento lunch special is an amazing deal coming with a full size of appetizer, salad and soup. Love this place and been coming here regularly in the last 2 months and will continue... read more

Fresh and delicious sushi, with excellent service. Will be back! Had the sushi special and they threw in some yummy goodies (miso, seared salmon, and ice cream). Small clean and so friendly. Great experience! read more

Nigiri has been our go-to throughout covid. They have incredible take -out and delivery service. I have ordered platters from them for family holiday gatherings. Always pleasant customer service on the phone and in person! So glad our town resturant is going strong. read more

We tried this place again and it was thoroughly disappointing. I can not see myself returning and all of these glowing reviews are truly baffling to me. Pros: Miso soup and edamame were good The ruby red roll was really good and the highlight of the meal. The spicy tuna in the middle and the salmon on top worked really well The uni was very good Cons: The rice was so hot it made the fish warm and unpleasant to eat The spicy scallop roll had too little spicy scallop and included avocado which completely overpowered everything else The shrimp in the salmon lovers roll was mushy and the roll was overall not very good The pieces of yellow tail, salmon, tuna looked unappetizing and tasted wholly average Overall the plating was terrible and looked nothing like any of the pictures I see here I don't like writing bad reviews but this was the sort of meal you have and you don't want to go back to a place. I am extremely skeptical of all the very positive reviews about this restaurant. read more
