    Appetizer 4 Scallop and eggplant
    Yuna C.

    Greta value for their regular omakase option at $95 per person - which includes 4 appetizers, 15 pieces of sushi, and a portion of ramen at the end. It's a beautiful interior with a balanced level of lighting (which is greatly appreciated). While every piece was delicious, the ramen was a standout - not too heavy and greasy as other ramens.

    Solid sushi! Got their dinner deluxe to go which came with a nice variety of fish. Quality was pretty good and fish to rice ratio was perfect.

    Sabrina H.

    This was really delicious. I highly recommend the eel hand rolls. We also got the shrimp tempura roll and crazy dragon roll. We were the only party seated outside but the servers were really attentive and would always come in and check on us. The decorations and layout of the restaurant inside was very modern.

    It's been a minute and Shumi continues to excel with their Omakase experience. From the quality of the fish, chef's skills, presentation and service, Shumi has found their groove. Our bi-yearly visits for their Omakase has been consistent. The venue is selection fresh premium fish, expertly prepared and presented. The flow of items follows our pace. Service is efficient and prompt. Decor is trendy with tunes playing in the background. I highly recommend Shumi for their Omakase!!

    Solid omakase and definitely a spot where you're going to get some bang for your buck (if you're having the lunch omakase here at least). My wife and I dropped in on a relatively normal Friday afternoon at 12 and, well, in reality, it was anything but a normal day for us because it was our wedding anniversary! We were definitely looking forward to an omakase-style meal because it had been a longgg, longggg time since we had one (or any meal without our kids being present for that matter). The restaurant serves 2 omakase meals, with one being more expensive than the other and, of course, since it was our anniversary we HAD to go all out. We chose the Shumi Omakase, which was actually a very reasonable $110 per person during lunch ($140 for dinner). It came with 5 appetizers and a ridiculous 21 pieces of sushi!!! Rarely are there that many pieces of sushi served during an omakase because you'll be there for 2+ hours, so we absolutely made sure we arrived verrrrrry, verrrry hungry. When we arrived for our reservation (which was not really needed since the restaurant was pretty quiet), we were seated immediately. The waiter who greeted us did not even check for our reservation and was going to sit us at a regular table, but, in my reservation request I had asked to be seated at the bar, which he obliged after we asked if we could sit there instead. The omakase experience here, at least during lunch, was a bit unusual according to our past omakase experience. If anything, I'm not even sure if you can even call it an omakase? There was no interaction at all between customers and the chefs and, unlike typical, popular omakase restaurants, the sushi was brought out 5, 6 pieces at a time on a plate instead of being served the usual 1 at a time by the chefs. Don't get me wrong, all of the omakase sushi was amazingly delicious and so were the tasty appetizers, but there was no feeling of it being an intimate experience. No special attention for sitting at the bar. To be honest, other than seeing the chefs making the sushi for many different orders up close, we might as well have sat at a regular table because none of them paid any attention to us. Overall, we still enjoyed our time here and, like I said, all of the sushi was really fresh and tasty. Each piece of sushi was dressed and set up beautifully, but they were all a bit on the small-ish side and could have used a bit more size. The waiters that served us our sushi all did a great job of explaining what we were eating too. Traffic throughout our 1 hour there was moderate as lunch goers came and went. Reservations definitely were not needed for lunch. At the end, we saw some room for improvement, but our stomachs definitely left pretty happy still.

    Fatty Tuna Crispy Rice appetizer

    My partner and I have been coming here for a few years now, since discovering it in late 2020. Since then, we've had wonderful experiences and enjoyed Shumi's excellent service, quality, and ambience. This recent visit was no exception, but I did notice a change in menu and I believe certain chefs. Busing is super quick, keeping your table clean and uncluttered. But they will not rush you out!! It's BYO so we brought sake this time and enjoyed it for a bit after finishing our meal. I feel like with the change in menu the quality is starting to slip a bit. Certain rolls that I have always loved are no longer my favorite in favor of others on the menu. This time we tried and loved the fatty tuna crispy rice! For rolls we shared the Ridgewood, Shumi, and Seard Salmon Yellowtail rolls. I noticed the last of these no longer has both fish on each roll and is split half and half. For the price, I still think it's worth it.

    Agedashi tofu
    Angela K.

    I come to Shumi pretty often - for both omakase and standard menu. Very solid fish and Japanese fare for a restaurant outside of NYC. For appetizers, their agedashi tofu is prepared so nicely. If you're not into the big sushi sets, I would recommend checking out the a la carte menu to just pick and choose the fish you like. No matter what I order, I'll also get two a la carte Otoro sushi or sashimi :) Lovely place to have date night or even to celebrate special occasions. Though you might want to skip out on their ramen. I've ordered the katsu tonkatsu ramen which is pretty good, but nothing to write home about. Service is always nice and attentive. Nothing bad to say about Shumi!

    Chefs preparing the food

    My brother surprised me with a birthday dinner at the chef's counter at Shumi, which was truly enjoyable. The restaurant was beautiful, modern, and completely packed, which gave a great first impression. We decided to order the "Regular" Omakase, which was the more affordable ($110 vs $140) and shorter of their two chef-led options. We figured that we could always order some a la carte items if we wanted anything else. Our meal was to include 3 courses of appetizers and 14 pieces of the chef's selection of sushi pieces. The experience started with a mind-blowing soup that included what I believe was a cooked albacore tuna sushi roll. The maki had opened up, releasing its flavorful ingredients into the rich broth. It was so unusual, and we just adored it! Next up was a tofu stew with mushrooms, which could have used more fragrant mushrooms for a richer flavor. Surprisingly, the appetizer courses were separated by a platter of the first few pieces of sushi, including tuna, toro, o toro, salmon, and yellowtail. The fish was very fresh, but the pieces were a bit small. In regards to that plate, the dark pink tuna was our favorite. Then, the chef went back to the appetizers with a scallop tempura, which had a well-seasoned, crispy breading surrounding a perfectly cooked piece of shellfish. Next, it was back to the sushi with an array of different kinds of mackerel with little dollops of various sauces on them. A few pieces were fishier than others, but all were tasty. The final round of sushi included an egg patty, monkfish liver with scallop, monkfish liver with spicy squid, another monkfish liver pair I cannot recall, and a piece of eel. These were clearly the more unusual bites, which was totally fine, but they could have included more variety. At this point, we thought we were done with our meal, but we received a full-sized bowl of vegetable ramen, which was just OK. The noodles were harder than al dente and the included corn kernels were crunchy. I assumed that they had not been steeped enough in the broth, which was also not overly flavorful. It was an interesting end to the experience, which was presented a bit too quickly by the stoic staff. The chef had not said one word to us, and the waitstaff presented each plate uniformly and without much other interaction. Was Shumi's omakase adventure the best I had ever had...no, but it was definitely full of fresh ingredients, creativity, and elegance.

    Chirashi sashimi over rice... sweet satisfaction!

    Love this trendy and modern Japanese restaurant in Ridgewood. The food is always great and service is quick, fresh sushi and sashimi. The Chirashi is my favorite.

    Salad and soup

    Guys, I was super impressed with the amount and quality of sushi here. Placed in a town-like neighborhood that has a great walkability score, the food hit the spot. When we walked in, the space was half full and they sat us at the sushi bar. It was pretty cool to be able to sit up close and watch the chefs as they plated their sushi masterpieces. We ordered several different dishes but I didn't have a chance to take a pic of those - they were SO yummy that we dove in. I think most of us know what that feels like. :) The sushi and sashimi deluxe was A LOT and the additional Salmon Poke Tartare and Chefs Special Bluefin Otoro Roll was **chefs kiss**. Although the Otoro roll was EXTREMELY delicious and refreshing, a couple of us favored the salmon poke tartare because of the savory flavor. Highly recommend trying both at least once though! I would have preferred some more tea options but that's ok. The food more than compensated for the lack of beverages. The service was half and half. One of the servers seem to be in a rush to clear our plates the moment we had put our utensils down, which, perhaps I'm too unrefined but I could use a couple of minutes before someone reaches over my shoulder to grab my plate. But the water was kept full by another server and we enjoyed all of our dishes as well as the ambience. 9/10 would recommend and definitely want to try again with different servers. A great weekend place with friends and family too!

    Karen K.

    Amazing first experience having omikasi! Service was impeccable and staff were very friendly. Make sure to make reservations at the bar so you can watch the chefs prepare the dishes. . My only gripe was that there were tablets blocking the view from some angles. The restaurant itself was consistently busy. The waiters described every dish that was brought over down to every detail. The fish was super fresh and paired very nicely with a certain sauce. Unfortunately, there were so many dishes, I could not remember all the names. Looking back at the pictures has me wanting to go back for more. You'll definitely leave on a full stomach and well worth the price. The restaurant itself is located in the very cute town of Ridgewood. So after you eat, you can walk around. Plenty of cute shops, cafes, and dessert places. We had no issues finding parking. Make sure to put your name down on the email list to receive a free omikasi on your birthday!

Blu Sushi is the perfect mix of deliciousness, affordability, and fantastic service. I've gone there for my lunch around three times these past two weeks and each time I've had a wonderful experience. Their lunch special is super affordable. You can get 2 rolls for the less than I spend for one at many of the other restaurants in Ridgewood. However, despite that, it honestly tastes the best out of many of the places I've gone to. Also, if you are up for spending more, they have a fantastic selection of appetizers and special rolls that you can try again (I recommend the dynamite shrimp). When I go, I normally get the 2 roll option from the lunch menu. Typically, I have the spicy salmon and the spicy tuna rolls when I order that. Regarding those rolls, they are first and foremost delicious. You can tell that fresh their fish is and how much time and dedication they put into their sushi with each bite. Furthermore, they are spicy--but not too spicy. When you have them you are able to enjoy every aspect of the roll without being completely overwhelmed by the spice. Additionally, they add something crunchy to the rolls which take them from just a tasty lunch to a full experience. Most importantly though, the service and ambiance is fantastic. Every time I've been there I've only been treated with kindness and consideration. They are very willing to talk with you about their dishes, share some interesting facts about it (like how they came up with the dynamite shrimp), and more. But the best part about it is that they remember you. That honestly meant a lot to me. I know that this whole review was a lot of me ranting, but I honestly mean it. If you are looking for a nice, quaint, delicious, affordable, and hospitable meal--Blu Sushi is the place for you.

Fish was very fresh though and presentation was excellent. + Spicy Salmon, Spicy Yellowtail, Spicy Cooked White Fish - Shocked at how good the rolls actually were.

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.

If you're just seeking Japanese food/sushi and need to get your fix on, the food at Kumo will hit that spot.

    Update to my earlier review from 2024…read more We dined in for the first time on a spring Friday evening at around 6 PM and we were pretty much were the only ones dining inside for a majority of our meal. However, they were plenty busy with takeout orders. Service was quick as the waiter took our order down and our food was out within MINUTES! I ordered the Shoyu Ramen, which was a pretty good ramen considering they weren't a restaurant that specialized in ramen. The ramen was very tasty and like any other I've ordered from legit ramen restaurants. My wife ordered a custom poke bowl, which we've ordered many times before for pickup. The bowl was MASSSIVE and seemingly much bigger than what they typically give for takeout orders, although their takeout poke bowls are very generous too. For our kids, we ordered the House Special Fried Rice, which came with eggs and Chinese sausage. It was a solid fried rice and we were quite surprised it came with Chinese sausage because it's an ingredient we rarely see used for fried rice entrees at restaurants. Overall, our dining experience here was good and we loved that it was nice and quiet. It never got super busy, but a few parties did come in after us. The bread and butter of their business is definitely takeout though.

    Always excellent quality. Great pokè in Ridgewood. Only a few tables, so we use it more for…read moretakeout. Enjoy!

    After a long work day, my husband and I treated ourselves to an AYCE sushi dinner at Sushi X in…read moreRidgewood. For a Wednesday night, the restaurant was pretty busy. We were taken to one of the tables closer to the kitchen in the back. I loved all of the polaroid pics on the walls and chill/relaxed vibe there. It was a cold, rainy night. So once we were seated, we ordered some hot tea and quickly filled out our order sheets. The service was great that night - staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered veggie tempura to share. One order is 3 pieces, so we wrote down 3 on our sheet (see pic - this was what we wanted to split between two). My husband filled up on all the vegetarian friendly rolls (sweet potato, avocado/cucumber, avocado/peanut, and avocado/mango; the last was his favorite). I went with a Crazy Tuna Roll, X-Roll, and a Golden Ridgewood. The latter two are deep fried. Both were tasty but just a lot, so next time I would just order one or the other and regular rolls or sushi pieces. We filled up quickly, so we passed on ice cream at the end. I overheard another table say that the ice cream was really good... Overall, weekday dinner at Sushi X was good experience. We hope to be back again and make sure to round off our meal with some of that delicious ice cream! :)

    Fairly standard menu for and all you can eat sushi restaurant. Wasn't too busy on a Friday night…read more Service was good. I felt the kitchen menu was little lacking. The food was just OK. Same for the sushi it was fine but not overwhelming in any way. Comparing it to other all you can eat I felt it could've been a little cleaner and colder. Plus some of the cuts just fell off. I would only come back here if I was looking to go out in Ridgewood and spend some time in the area.
