THE GOOD ---------------- + All of the food we ordered was EXCELLENT. ++++ Maki Special with Spicy Salmon, Spicy White Tuna and Spicy Yellowtail sushi rolls were all very good. Not going to blow you away, but as good as you would expect your sushi rolls to be ++++ Sushi/Sashimi Combo arrived in a boat and all of the sushi, sashimi were super fresh. ++++ Chicken Udon was one of the best udons we ever had at one of these local Japanese restaurants! Soup was great, udon was great, there was plenty of vegetables inside and the chicken was verrrrry tender and tasty. ++++ A complimentary vanilla ice cream was served at the end of our meal. + The waitresses were very friendly and attentive. The food arrived fairly quickly. + There are plenty of parking spaces in the private lot of this little strip mall. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - The menu prices are a bit on the high side for everything and it would be nice if things were $1-$2 cheaper like some other local Japanese restaurants. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Restaurant is tight inside, with not a lot of walking space, and there aren't many tables, but there is a cozy feel to it. read more

- Small, cozy spot with 5 booth-style tables along the walls, 3 two-seaters in the center, and 1 outdoor table - Kitchen ventilation could be better--air gets smoky at times and the smell lingers on clothes - Super friendly and attentive staff; service was quick and efficient - Food was very good: sushi, sashimi, and rolls were extremely fresh; udon was hot and flavorful with bouncy noodles and tender chicken; house salad came drenched in ginger dressing--might be too much for some, but that's the way I like it - Complimentary vanilla ice cream at the end--not sure if it's standard, but a nice touch and the kiddos loved it - Cash discount available read more

Fantastic! Friends recommended this place and I am so glad I went. A close friend and I were meeting for dinner and we both love sushi, so we decided to try this place. The first thing I noticed about it was that there was a worm, welcoming environment and everybody who worked there seemed like they really wanted to be there. We were quickly seated in a booth and giving menus, and they brought us hot tea. Everything on the extensive menu looked fabulous! It was hard to make a choice. I eventually chose the Happy Friday roll. It was tuna, salmon, and yellow tail, avocado inside, with white tuna on the top with Chef's Special mango sauce. It was phenomenal and served on a cute little boat. My friend had the tricolor sushi assortment and said it was great. Everything was extremely fresh and tasty. This restaurant is close to work so I will definitely be back. Loved this place so much! read more

Osaka Ryu Gin - Bento Box - Japanese Near Me - Glen Rock, New Jersey

This is a Chinese-run Japanese restaurant. The waitstaff speaks in Chinese and even the music they play is Chinese. If they realize that you speak Chinese, they will speak to you in Chinese too. The restaurant is small but not busy, especially at lunchtime. The service is excellent. The sushi is decent, fresh and there is a large variety of regular and special rolls that you can choose from. The hot food tasted like... Japanese food made by a Chinese person. So it was not really authentic? Or maybe you can just call it authentic Chinese food? For instance, the yaki soba tasted like a Chinese fried noodle dish. This means lighter sauce, less sweet, thinner noodles. The price point was good. Big bowl of noodles for under $20. We will be back. The food tastes good. read more

Safe to say I'm obsessed with this restaurant. The best sushi around, quick service with both to go orders and dine in. Love that dine in is byob as well. Love all of the sushi rolls I've tried, salmon sashimi is super fresh and delicious, tempura apps and salad are always crowd pleasers and love the special rolls I've tried (although there are almost too many to choose from). Definitely would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Osaka Ryu Gin - a wooden boat with sushi on it - Japanese Near Me - Glen Rock, New Jersey

Very friendly staff. The restaurant is very clean. We visited for the lunch special. There are much more options for the lunch special than I'm accustomed. I chose the three roll special. I had a salmon, salmon avocado, and salmon mango. They include both miso soup and a ginger salad, so no need to pick just one. The ginger was top notch. The sushi rolls had a great rice ratio, as I don't like too much rice. The fish was fresh. I had the salmon mango last as my "dessert". My wife had the yellowtail mango and said it was a better "dessert" because the fish tasted sweeter. The staff were very quick during lunch. Quick to take our order and quick to bring the check. They also were constantly clearing every little small item off our table. I don't throw this around often, but it was the kind of service I'd expect to see at a Michelin star restaurant. We'll definitely return. I'll probably get the same thing again, no regrets here. sk tl;dr yum yum for my tum tum read more

The sushi is amazing! Lately, I've been eating at different sushi places in the area to taste who has the best, and by far, Osaka Ryu Gin is delicious! It's funny, from the outside, it's not much to look at, but trust me, their sushi is fantastic. The service was also great and the prices are reasonable. This has become my go to place! Highly recommend. read more

Sushi top notch! I had done takeout for NYE and as soon as I walked into Osaka I was greeted like a regular customer. The people were so nice and as I was waiting for my order the girl brought me a cup of tea! It's small the restaurant. Reminds me of NYC sushi restaurant! read more

My husband and I came here for a sushi date and to try this place out. It was great! The service was wonderful and attentive. The inside was small but very charming. It was so crazy busy as well with people coming to pick up take out orders and after eating there we know why! The sushi was great and tasted extremely fresh. They had an insane amount of different types of special rolls that are sure to please everyone with different wrapping include soybean paper which I had on a valentine roll and it was one of the best sushi rolls I have ever had. I would definitely recommend this place for a very casual sushi date and would recommend over and over for take out which my husband and I will be getting again soon! read more

This is one of our favorite place to order our food twice a week and also on big events Sushi always fresh and staff always friendly

I absolutely LOVE this place. By far the most fresh sushi in the area. I have shared this business with many of my friends and they all have become as obsessed as I am. I love their miso soup. People may find it easy to make a good miso, however, it's not in my opinion. I love theirs. They make a St. Patrick's roll (which is my usual) and it's fabulous. Truly, any roll you get from here you are guaranteed it's fresh and flavorful. Beyond the great food, it's the staff that makes this place. Such friendly, helpful and genuinely good people. If you are in the area and want to treat your tastebuds, try this place! read more

Went in at lunchtime -- first timer. Ordered some sashimi. An employee -- not the main sushi bar guy -- coughed repeatedly without covering his mouth right where his colleague was preparing my lunch. Left w/o eating & won't go back. Don't need cooties from the Mucus Palace. read more

High ratings on this place and so I came to check it out. The coconut shrimp was made with real coconut which weird enough I think I prefer the fake breading one. It was good but I never understand how they make the shrimp straight rather than curled. Who cares. The salmon taco special that they suggested was funky. Not my favorite. It was overdressed with something and served on a pringle? Not my jam. The sushi lunch special was my jam and loved the basic rolls. I don't get fancy at these places. Simple always works. read more

Good quality sushi! Located close to Paterson, this hole in the wall has an extensive menu with lots of options for all types of sushi eaters (I appreciated that they had a vegetarian section of the menu). Highly recommend the pink lady and butterfly specialty rolls! The place itself is a little small but the service was pretty good. read more

Osaka Ryu Gin - Our boat - Japanese Near Me - Glen Rock, New Jersey

Fabulous lunch options that are filling and cheap! We ordered two 3-maki combos that each come with 3 sushi rolls, salads, and miso soups for $14.95 each combo. We also ordered a teriyaki salmon combo (salmon with veggies, one California roll, two fried shrimps, edamame, salad, miso soup and a side of rice)-$17.95. This was takeout. All in all, stuffed from that teriyaki salmon combo and it was beautifully packaged and delicious! The total was about $50 and fed four people and we had leftovers. Very well worth it. Lunch ends at 3:30 so catch it before dinner! Will be back! read more

Good sushi, generous portions, I had sushi sashimi combo on the boat, excellent choice. Good, friendly service.

I loved it! Last picture is of the Salmon Avocado Poke Ball! Must come here for the best taking sushi in the area! I love the lunch special! Always Fresh and I drive 20 minutes to get this food! The service is fast, people are friendly! And the room is decorated for a wonderful new years! I always feel welcome! Come here! read more

Delicious fresh sushi and special rolls. The fried Ika is a fam fav, too. Sofia and her staff are so friendly and always welcoming.

Eager to find a good spot nearby our home, we gave Ryu Gin a try post monitoring their ratings and reviews. On a Thursday afternoon around 1 pm, we called in an ordered a lunch special feast of two sushi, sashimi combos, and a two roll special. The sashimi combos were around $17 a platter while the rolls were around $10. The lunch specials came with both a generic salad and a miso soup at no additional cost. Fish - While certain pieces of fish such as the salmon seemed fresh and almost buttery, a few other pieces such as the mackerel and tuna seemed to be a little pale in color and lacked the vibrancy you hope to find when ordering raw fish. Rolls- the rolls were pretty bad, I have to say for a lunch special my expectations for basic rolls aren't too high but the rolls I ordered, spicy tuna and salmon avocado almost looked like mangled pieces of fish that they just hid by adding some crunch to everything. Kind of a disappointing meal for spending close to $50 on lunch. While the food was prepared quickly, if you're looking for more quality fish, I wouldn't make this your fir read more

This small unassuming restaurant makes some incredible sushi, the variety available is surprising considering the size of this establishment. However don't let the size and location fool you. The food here is great, the atmosphere quaint and the staff are absolutely lovely! It is always a treat to dine here, but maybe call for reservations if you plan to eat in since they only have seating for roughly 20 people total inside. read more

Osaka Ryu Gin - The boat presentation really elevates the dining experience! - Japanese Near Me - Glen Rock, New Jersey

Ever since my daughter turned us onto this place, we have gone numerous times. The place is small, however, warm and welcoming. a complementary appetizer is presented upon arrival. Besides chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant or bread it's rare to see an actual appetizer. I'm going to direct this comment to our fantastic experience last night Valentine's Day. As I mentioned earlier, the place is tiny. There are probably only about eight tables to begin with. When we arrived, it seemed to be the beginning of the rush. There was one table left, and we were seated. What followed was a crazy rush. Pick-up orders and people waiting to be seated. As busy as it was, we still received a complimentary appetizer and let me tell you the service was remarkable. They literally had a team of people working three sushi chefs, three or four waitresses plus a support staff of a young man. As busy as it was, the service was as gracious as ever. Our server was always smiling. In fact, everybody was always smiling, even though they were so busy. I have never seen so much activity. Where we were seated, we could peer into the back where most of the activity was going on . Our particular waitress was simply amazing filling Pick-up orders, ringing up orders as well as serving. I highly recommend this place It runs like a well oiled machine and you are never disappointed by the quality of the food. Added we even received a $10 gift certificate as a Valentines . We have become customers, and we travel all the way from Ringwood! read more

Osaka Ryu Gin - Myself enjoying a fabulous meal. - Japanese Near Me - Glen Rock, New Jersey

A bit of a hole in the wall, so if you plan to sit, get there early. You'll be delighted by the massive assortment of sushi& very creative/unusual rolls. The portions are nicely sized as well. I'd assume it was the owners kids, 11 & under that were roaming around the back of the restaurant which became a bit of an annoyance once their videos were playing behind us, while bumping the back is the booth we were in. Something tells me this is probably a regular situation for the summer, but I can't say for sure. Wouldn't have been too bad if they'd invest in earbuds. The constant bumping is the rear of the booth could easily be dealt with. I'd say the best sushi in the area. read more
