Very good! East reservation through open table. We arrived very early and we're still sat before our reservation time. Restaurant is clean and modern. No fishy smell whatsoever! Service is slow, allowing time to drink (byob) and chat with items spaced out. Definitely not rushed. Sushi was great. The hanky panky roll with the bluefin tuna was exceptional. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Everyone was very nice and courteous. Definitely recommend making a reservation and BYOB. Otherwise, a fine establishment to enjoy quality sushi in the area. read more

i've gotten really picky about my sushi, and this was great dad got chirashi - he says " it was 8.5/10." rice was seasoned well and topped with furikake salmon avocado roll was solid, yellowtail scallion roll was good as well. good balance of fish and rice we were in a rush and they were very accommodating. in and out in 20 min! read more

This place has wonderful food and staff. The sushi is surely premium grade, creative, inventive, and served with finesse. They even have an omikase experience, and I'd love to go back for that. There is also NO SUCH THING as cheap sushi without forsaking quality and freshness. This is the place to be! read more

There are not enough good things to say about Ryujin. I've been to some top quality places, Nobu, Morimoto's, Azumi, Sushi Nakawaza; Ryujin is right there with them in the quality, care, and love they put behind their dishes. Have been here about 4 times now. At the end of the last lunch I had I was blown away watching them pull out 4 whole tunas and start breaking them down. Akami, chūtoro, and otoro all separated by loin. The rib meat is meticulously scraped out with a spoon and for their spicy rolls. One of their specials, Japanese needlefish, I watched our chef pull pin bones for a good 10-15 minutes from the whole fish filet. I asked their head chef, do you break down all your fish from whole, the answer was yes. In such a small unassuming strip mall this place would rival some of the best quality sushi I've had on the east coast. Do yourself a favor and go to this place. They could charge double and it would still be a deal compared to the places I mentioned. I see some low review marks noted and then you see the times they booked, 7pm on a Saturday, yeah guess what, they're slammed. Their food is amazing. Try and go at an off time, sit at the bar and talk to the chefs. These guys really care about the product they serve and it takes more time to come out but so worth it. read more

If you're looking for fresh sushi and sashimi this is one of the better places in Bridgewater. The prices reflect the quality. I've been here twice and each time was good. The special scallops appetizer and Christmas roll were delicious . I work close by so it's my main Japanese spot now. read more

food was so good! Service was fast paced and everyone worked together to make sure we were satisfied! I loved the ambiance beautiful crafted restaurant with marble, sushi bar, and half wood ceiling. Definitely will be back. I recommend coming at a non busy time since it's a small restaurant and people can squat which will take a long time especially if you don't have a reservation. Enjoyed this so much! Thank you!! The sushi dishes also look immaculate! Super huge platters with a design that shows they are absolutely skilled! I wish I could have got one but I'm pregnant and unfortunately my boyfriend does not eat sushi but I will definitely come back to get one of these stunning platters with friends! read more

The food flavoring was decent but that's really it. I got the rock shrimp which was okay. The crunch was amazing but there was about half a shrimp if that inside each piece. I think I was eating just fried piece of crunch for some. I also wasn't a fan of the citrus flavoring, it just didn't really pair. The fish for the salmon ryujin was bad. The quality looked decent but it wasn't. The preparation was good though, which did make it taste a little better. The Osaka set fish was good, but that's really it. It wasn't the most fantastic thing ever and I've had better sets else where, I think the quality of the fish was part of it (though the uni was pretty good). The service was good though! read more

I watched a server , who was actually the manager tell a family to leave because they're baby was being "too loud" and I heard the husband complain that they had been sitting there for over an hour waiting for their food .. sounds like they were refusing to serve them over a helpless , hungry baby . The family seemed to leave hungry and understandably upset . #wontbegoingback #goodfoodawfulmanners ,sounds like a loss to me :( Also I can't post this without giving them a star , but if it was up to me they would get no star !!!! read more

The sushi here is comparable to NYC omakase spots. While the price point is high for the Kyoto set ($80 for 8 pieces and a hand roll) you are getting craft, two pieces of uni, and the pieces are quite sizable! Top that off with the spicy edamame and it's a decent deal. I haven't tried anything else besides the Kyoto set and would probevly stick with this one unless you're a huge fan of Edomae sushi. Service is always great, plus it's byob. The door can get drafty so I would ask for a booth closer inside. read more

Ryujin Sushi - Kyoto Set - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bridgewater, New Jersey

This is a great sushi spot, with some traditional and non-traditional sushi. My favorite rolls are the Bridgewater (crunchy spicy tuna, tempura lobster, and avocado) and Hangky Panky (crunchy spicy tuna, avocado, seared bluefin tuna, Japanese mayo, and yuzu miso). The Butterfly Effect (steamed lobster, mango, avocado, soy paper, and kimchi vinegar) is not bad either, but I thought the kimchi vinegar added a tad too much acidity. The menu is quite extensive, so I would be interested in trying more items in the future. read more

Sushi is incredible. Make a reservation before you go. The lunch specials are a great deal...all of the fish is shore fresh

The spicy ramen tasted good, but I wasn't impressed by the value for $18. It was two thin pieces of meat and half an egg. read more

Came here for our anniversary dinner and it did not disappoint. The portions across the board were great in size and the quality of the food was top notch. Some highlights - - Fluke Crudo- this dish is just straight up beautiful. Also great flavor, with a nice crunch from the filo and the gooseberry adds a note of tartness, didn't overpower the lighter fish - Salmon doused with hot oil - Nice fattiness from the salmon and the oil, good flavor and a hint of citrus - Crispy rice- the rice balls had a delicious puffed shell, the fish had great flavor - Osaka Set- great assortment of fish, all super fresh and well prepared Would come back read more

Hands down must visit. Local for me. Great sushi. Low key service sushi grade. Food excellent.

Good sushi. Nah great sushi at reasonable price near home. Favorite japanese restaurant now.

We must have dined on an off night for dinner. The rolls were loosely rolled and the ratio of ingredients (rice) was quite lacking in both the tuna and salmon rolls. The eel was barely to be found in the dragon roll. The Naruto roll was beautifully presented and the ingredients tasted and looked fresh. We waited for our tea to be refilled during the entire meal and finally requested at the end of our meal. This venue charges per cup of tea. I was challenged in getting someone to stop by the table for me to order another roll. The restaurant was beginning to fill up. Just ended up asking for the check. Was an embarrassing experience for my friend's birthday dinner. read more

Omakase doesn't only have to be good in big cities like San Francisco or NYC, I found a hidden gem in small town Bridgewater, NJ to fulfill my uni and wagyu cravings! I tried the Osaka Set from the Chef's Tasting Menu and every single fish just melted into my mouth. This NJ spot may have even been better than some of my NYC omakase experiences like Sugarfish, Sushi on Jones, DomoDomo & etc! I still have yet to try Masa which is still on my list for omakase one day lol. Even after I was done with the Osaka set I was still craving more fish that I had to order ONE additional salmon piece -- what can I say I'm a salmon lover! For any NJ peeps craving omakase, look no further and check this place out. I'll definitely be back! One day I'll have to even try their sushi rolls with funny names like TikTok and Bite Me! read more

Great food and service. BYOB which also adds to the value. Friendly and efficient service, makes it very comfortable to eat there.

We were recommended this fairly new BYOB sushi restaurant and am glad we went. I made reservations on a Saturday night and was seated a few minutes after reservation time, no big deal. We opted to order a few appetizers, nigiri, and rolls. - Sashimi Pizza ($15): You have the option tuna, salmon, or yellowtail, we opted for the tuna. The "pizza" is on an Indian flatbread. It provided a nice crunch and textural contrast to the sashimi. The tuna was fresh and plentiful. This was a tasty appetizer. - Ankimo: Monkfish liver served with ponzu sauce. This was from their specials menu. Another tasty dish. It's like foie gras of the sea - Hanky Panky Special Roll ($15): Spicy tuna on the inside with seared tuna on the outside accompanied with Japanese mayo and yuzu miso. This was a great roll. The torched tuna with the cold raw spicy tuna on the inside paired well. - Tik Tok ($14): Coconut shrimp with crab meat on the inside and salmon avocado with mango sauce on the outside. This dish wasn't bad but not memorable - Nigiri: We ordered a lot, some of the standouts include * Toro ($10) - This was a Chutoro, medium fatty tuna. This was good though I prefer Otoro. * Sweet Shrimp ($5) - Very sweet and succulent bonus points for including the fried head * Uni ($10) - The waiter asked if Japanese uni was ok? Hell yah it is. Very sweet and melts in your mouth. * A5 Wagyu Nigiri ($11) - The fattiest of fattest cuts of beef. Slightly torched and very buttery and delicious. My only gripe is that it wasn't served freshly torched. It arrived cold to our plates * Scallop ($3.50) - Pass on this. It wasn't as sweet and a little bitter aftertaste * Unagi ($3) - Pass on this. Like the Wagyu nigiri, I wish this was served warmer. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant. The waiters were attentive and friendly asking us on our likes and dislikes, refilling our tea cups frequently. Is this the best sushi I've had, no, but it is very good nonetheless. read more

Dropped by on the recommendations of a co-worker. And since I was craving sushi on the level of omakase places in NYC I had to give it a shot. Went for the 5 piece Osaka style which comes with six pieces of toro in a roll as well along with miso soup and edamame. As "small" as that sounds it was honestly the perfect size meal for some high quality sushi. We're not talking low quality cuts drowning in different sauces. But very delicate and generous pieces well thought out and bursting w a variety of flavors in each bite. Would be happy to drop by here again to try even more next time. read more

Damn! Super LOVE this sushi bar! Will go there every week! They used the best fish & REAL Wasabi! The food tasted perfect (NOT okay or good, perfect!)

They take seriously on the food. Their attitude create the delicious food! Honestly, they deserve a Michelin star! Thanks to Chef Jay, Chef Lee, Chef Allen, and Chef Jin. You made me have a wonderful day! read more

Been a few times here already. Fish is indeed fresher than most Japanese rest around the area. Our goal to meal has been the ryujin tuna dish and the sushi and sashimi dish and couple of pieces of toro, uni and ikura. We prefer to sit on the other side where there is less people and table. Very rare do I give a 5 stars, but once u go here, its hard to go back to a typical japJapanese restaurant again. Price wise, it is higher than the typical restaurant but it is expected since they have better fish and better dish they offer read more

Let me start by saying I'm not a Sushi aficionado, I love Ramen and Tempura, the idea of uncooked cold seafood doesn't fly by me. However thanks to my husband and my kids I landed at Ryujin on a Saturday evening and was pleasantly surprised. In the middle of a run down strip mall in bridgewater this is a hidden gem. The neighboring Thai place was known to me and I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to go for sushi when I could see a beautiful outdoor setting for the Thai place. We were seated promptly even without a reservation, though it got pretty busy after we arrived, we ordered a few small plate appetizers like pork dumpling, edamame and fried calamari, which were all amazing ! We got a miso soup on the side too. Then came the full plate of Sashimi and Sushi and even if I didn't take a bite it looked so elegant. The overall decor of this place is very calming and appealing. I added an order of cooked crab roll which was ok. The service was fast, and attentive as they were constantly taking care of our empty plates. The tab came down to below 80$ after taxes which was quite surprising for a place like this. I hope this place grows and stays, such a nice addition to the food scene of Somerville and Bridgewater. read more

Very excited for this new addition to our town. We like to dine out for sushi fairly often and have our favorite spots, but this may be our new #1. The fluke appetizer was as creative as it was beautiful on the plate. Sushi, sashimi and rolls were all well executed. Grilled mushroom salad was very flavorful and unique. read more

Best Japanese food in the area. The sweet genie roll was so amazing that I had to come here to write a review. It is an AMAZING vegetarian option!!!! WOW, what a wonderful combination of flavors. Also, their tamago is the best I have had in a LONG time. So soft, wonderfully flavored, and not processed like tamago at a lot of other places. read more

It's not often that you find more vegetarian sushi options than the typical avocado cucumber or avocado mango (which makes sense - sushi is all about the seafood). But there are 3 veggie rolls here at Ryujin that satisfy the sushi itch so much better than just a plain ol' roll. The sweet genie and green devil are my favorites and the veggie diva is suuper refreshing. Even when ordering delivery the rolls are very fresh and tasty. They have good veggie apps as well. The staff here are beyond friendly and make you feel like you're having a meal at a family or friend's house. The interior is very nice and it's always clean. read more

We went very underdressed which was embarrassing, but the service was great and the food was so yummy! Sushi was very fresh.

I rarely post a review on yelp, but Ryugin has really impressed me. My wife and I eat there frequently and are regular customers. We enjoy great service food and save the trip all the way to NYC!! Today I just wanted to shout out how incredible my lunch was at the bar. My seat was actually very comfortable and the chef was interactive and interesting to chat with. Any adjustments to flavor that I requested were delivered perfectly. My rolls were excellent and the seaweed was still crisp, something I don't see many places. You can't go wrong at lunch as dinner gets really crowded. We like to sit outside when it's cool enough and the service still is maintained at a high level. Un summary, Ryugin checks all the boxes when looking for the best Sushi. read more
