Some of the best take out sushi and Japanese fair around the county is found here at sushi ya. Never disappointed with the take out. I've never sat in for a mean, either. Quick take out service and food is delicious! read more

Great place been going for years. One of the first to figure a way thru Covid safely and get back on track when things started to settle. Sometimes they get busy and service can suffer a little but the food never does. But I have never been disappointed. read more

I always come here when I'm in the mood for sushi! Also some of my favorite apps are the Chicken Maki (fried chicken), seaweed salad, and the stuff shell crab (fried). Love the green tea icecream! The atmosphere is beautiful with blue and purple up lighting. Extremely clean and amazing and professional service. I live in this town and its my to-go place for sushi! Getting the food for take out is just as great! read more

Sushi Ya - Chicken Maki - Japanese Near Me - Sparta, New Jersey

So delicious! Awesome sushi! Awesome hot foods. Awesome salads and apps! Only thing I didn't like was that they charge you $2.50 for seltzer (don't even give free refills) and they charge it as "Perrier" but I know Perrier vs tap seltzer and it's definitely tap seltzer. #seltzerfanatic The service is so fast, and the food is always presented beautifully! I've been here for lunch and dinner and had a great experience both times. Can't wait to go back again! read more

The best lunch menu/deal around. The sushi is always fresh and the service is always prompt. Love their ginger salad dressing. One of my go-to takeout places in Sparta. read more

Bad service mediocre food. I dont like to be negative of places I have only been once but this place was lousy all around. Ordered sushi and a teriyaki beef. They piled everything on me within 2 minutes. Soup and salad came 30 seconds later sushi came within 2 minutes here comes my beef. 3 servers in the small dining room all eating with their back to the dining room. My wife had to get up and get a fork for my 4 year old. Waited forever to get a refill. Somehow the food was luke warm. Soup vegetables and rice none of it was hot. My son said he prefers Tokyo Sushi and I have to agree. read more

Very good sushi lunch at Sushi Ya. It came highly recommended, we had lunch while in Sparta and now will recommend to others.

Amazing! A tentative servers cold beer and phenomenal sushi for being in Northern New Jersey highly recommend it fair prices ample parking we were happy definitely going back! read more

The yellow tail roll the last two times I went there looked sad. The fish was a pallid shade of white and the texture was crumbly. It had no taste. Yellow tail should be light pink, flavorful, and have the tuna texture one would expect. This was unreasonably bad. When I began going here it was not the case. Sad. read more

I have eaten Sushi at a lot of places, I've tried a lot of different kinds of sushi, so I kinda think I am very informed on it. I'm Not some shops rite sushi eater that now thinks they are expert or someone who needs their Butt kissed when I go to restaurant with a 1000 needs.. that being said. Sushi Ya has to be one of best places I've been to. The staff is always pleasant and quick to help you. The owners make it a point to keep staff inline and doing their jobs. From 1st time I went to the latest time in sept 19. Nothing has changed. The fish is always fresh and looks good. The chefs who are behind counter take time with food making sure it's just right. I had a chef make me a roll one day and owner came in after I had taken a bite(he knows me) he looked at fish and said this is not right and took it and redid it(minor thing with hot sauce he saw). I like to try new things and menu is always changing and adapting. If your looking for sushi that has that personal touch. This is the place. It's small and they pay attention to detail. So go here and expect tasty sushi read more

I have been very disappointed with Sushi Ya, as of late. My mom and I go there often due to convenience, but we are probably one of their "regulars." Although I do love their sushi, the service has been completely horrendous recently. The first time I noticed this was a couple weeks ago when my mother and I went out for sushi. We waited forever to get our order (and we only ordered 3 sushi rolls total). I let them off the hook this time around since I had never had issues with their service before and they were apologetic about it. However, I just went to Sushi Ya once again last Friday, 10/03/14, and I was completely dissatisfied with the service. My friend and I waited an hour and a half for our 3 sushi rolls. Then, we started noticing that people who were seated after us received their sushi before us, so I said something to one of the waitresses. Instead of being nice about it, she was defensive and pretty much said that the orders were all jumbled up and that they are "doing their best." Obviously they need a better system for taking orders. I was actually going to leave (after an hour and a half of waiting), but they ended up coming out with our sushi in the nick of time. Though the sushi at Sushi Ya is really pretty good, their poor service and attitude left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

BBQ calamari is the best -- delicious food, reasonable prices.

Really great sushi!!! I've only gotten to go in the pandemic but hoping they open up fully soon!!

Food was delicious. The quality of the fish was top notch. However the service leaves a lot to be desired. We were rushed the moment we sat down....and the place was empty! I didn't even have time to put on my glasses yet and were barked at, "you ready to order!?!?" Truthfully, it was under 90 seconds. Hell, our asses weren't even in the chairs when they snapped, "you want something to drink?!??" Everything was rushed by the wait staff. But, like I said, the sushi was good. I can only imagine how snappy and pushy the wait staff is when the place is busy. read more

If I was able to give them a zero I would this place is a piece of shit the people are horrible. I took almost an hour and 30 minutes to make my food and made me wait. Then the people yelled at me when I told them that I was waiting for a long time they said it was my fault. I would never recommend this place in 100 years. If you want my recommendation go to Asian Island. It is 1000 times better than this piece of crap of a place. read more

I ordered sushi this past weekend and it was delicious. The sushi pizza is amazing and all the rolls we ordered were great.

Rainbow tartar, etc... Lord! This place hands down is great. Better then going to Mizuki in Roxbury on rt10. Will absolutely come more often to SushiYa. A+++ read more

My husband and I' s favorite spot in Sparta! Best sushi and hibachi in the area. The owners are very welcoming, love this place!

This is a Great sushi place. People say it is the best in NJ which i doubt because 1. they havent tried every sushi place, and 2. it is simply not the best. HOWEVER it IS amazing sushi. Great lunch bento box, comes with a lot of food for around $9. I always take out my sushi, and the few times when i have eaten there, it seems to have a ..funky.. smell. Its fishy, which is to be expected i guess. As others have said, the service staff is completely over the top, and basically hovers over you and they ask you if you need anything about every 30 seconds. But working in a restaurant myself, you cant judge a place too hard on the service staff. Anyway i have been a loyal sushi ya goer for a long time but i have since moved to Tokyo sushi 1-2 miles away because their sushi seems to be a bit better quality. (more avocado in their avocado roll, more detail in their alaskan roll). But i absolutely cannot knock sushi ya. It is very good sushi and definitely deserves your business. read more

Love there staff! They are so attentive and always refill your drink when it's less than half! Delicious food that fast and definitely worth the price! Always craving sushi and this is my go to spot! read more

My husband and I have been here twice. The first time was on a weekend and the place was packed. The service was a little slow but I was not going to complain as it was crowded. The food was awesome and the presentations by the chefs was incredible. We sat at the sushi bar and the chef nearest to us was kind enough to answer all of our questions about interesting dishes, which we thought would be handy for our next visit. If it was just this visit, I may have given it 4 or 4.5 stars. The second time was a completely different experience. While it was a weekend again, the place was empty which was surprising for dinnertime. We thought this was a boon but turned into a nightmare. The food was sub-par and the presentation mediocre. We got the Treasure Island appetizer, which while not cheap, looked fantastic on our first visit (one of the dishes we noted on that visit) but looked like a pile of mush surrounded by avocado. It was clearly not worth the $14 we were charged for it and was much smaller than what we had seen served previously. Even the rolls were not as good. It was like we went to two totally different restaurants on these two visits. On top of the food being meh, the staff on the second visit were rude. We were not even greeted properly, with a just shoving our menus at us after silently walking us to the table. Our waitress then rushed us along for the entire meal to the point that we thought they did not want us there. As the place was empty and nowhere near closing, I could not understand the rush. Normally we are very generous tippers but I was hesitant to give this waitress more than a bare minimum because she made us feel very uncomfortable. While I usually do not judge a place from one bad experience, the whole incident left such a bad taste in our mouths that we just will not go back. read more

Love this place for sushi, but even though they are doing a pretty contactless pickup routine(with COVID precautions), they should really all be wearing masks inside when preparing the food. read more

There are some great sushi spots in Sparta, but Sushi Ya is the most consistent. Golden Dragon Roll is a must. Their dining room can get a bit crowded on a Friday but they get you in and out. read more

I'm surprised this place was not in Yelp. I don't know any of the other Sushi places in the area, but this was pretty damn good. It is an unassuming little restaurant in a strip mall, nothing beautiful to look at, but the quality was up there. They had some really nice specials (O'Toro, Live Scallop etc.) which were all delicious. Overall, the fish was very fresh, the presentation beautiful, and the service very attentive. We ordered all across the menu and liked or loved everything. We were a party of 8 with 4 kids, and I was very surpised at how well they took care of us, and how quickly everything was served. The woman who I think was an owner or manager kept her eye on us the whole time and made sure we were well taken care of. BYOB, and highly recommended. read more

Always wonderfully fresh... I have never had a bad dish here, and I'm not even a big fish eater. I highly recommend the spicy lobster! My 10 year old loves the tuna dumplings, tiger roll (special) and new favorite: tuna hand rolls - it's our go to Sushi and whenever friends are in town who like sushi - Sushi Ya is their special request. Save room for the mochi ice cream! read more

Little place in Sparta. We have ordered take out in the past and its consistently good! My boyfriend and I ate there recently on a Friday night and were happy with our meals and the service! I highly recommend their specialty rolls. read more

Honestly the best Sushi around. Always fresh. Compares to NY sushi restaurants. You'll find unique rolls and appetizers. Small dining room but take out is always a great option. read more

Ok first thing first: hands down one of the most freshest&original sushi I have ever had ! I had the Christmas roll and it was so good ! Just thinking about it makes me hungry ! If you are looking for healthy options they have that as well: no rice with your sushi. Def a gem in Sparta & they are super friendly ! Overall, great experience and great food read more

They are always super attentive and courteous. The atmosphere is very cute, although a bit small. The sushi itself is very good. I've been to many different sushi places all around the North Jersey and NYC area and this is definitely one of the better ones. It is by far the best one in Sussex County. read more

Hand's down the best Sushi in Sparta. We take out from this place all the time and consistently get fresh, fabulous rolls. One time they didn't get my order correct, but they took ownership and gave us a free appetizer to make up for the mistake. When eating at the Restaurant my only complaint is that they are a little TOO attentive, grabbing plates as soon as you had the last bite. I appreciate a clean table, but I could do without the over-attentive staff, makes me edgy. Great food, will keep coming back! read more

Small place, overly-attentive waiters (to the point of annoyance for me), reasonable prices. Stopped in for lunch, got the sashimi--nice presentation, fish was adequate. I wouldn't call the fish particularly fresh or of the highest quality, but for small-town Sparta? It works. Not sure if I'd go back, considering I'm fairly particular about my sushi, but it was decent. The person I went with got the sweet potato roll, which was quite good, and the yellowtail roll, which was adequate. read more

I have been here few times, and was never disappointed. I ordered the pepper black cod, and it was delicious.

I eat here very regularly,by myself or with friends. Always trying to introduce this place to people. I've gotten to know owners and staff due to my timing at quiet times. They are all very nice and courteous. Now onto food... I eat a lot of a Sushi, this place has ruined me due to fact of owners attention to detail on all his meals. They are also selective of sushi chefs as I've seen few not meet owners expectations. The sushi is always fresh and tasty. Chef meets customers needs like when I want to adapt a roll :)... I can't brag about this place enough it's small and cozy. Prices are inline with other sushi places in area I went to Vegas and are at a high end sushi place, it was very good but not better than a Sushi Ya and prices were doubled I know go figure. If your looking to find great Sushi restaurant thus is it. Even better 1st time place as they will help you choose read more

Best sushi in town. The rolls are great and fresh and they have great appetizers. I tried the fried calamari a few weeks ago and it was awesome! Something like this is usually very greasy but this was not. The dipping sauce it came with was perfect. read more

My kids and I love this restaurant. Although we usually order take out, dining in is a great experience. The food is exceptional, the prices are very reasonable, and the reception is always welcoming and polite. Highly recommended. read more

Every time I come here, no matter what day of the week, whether we eat in or take out--our order is right, delicious, and keeps us coming back. We love this place! read more

Torn about this review. On one hand, the sushi is good and service is good, but ordered udon in broth and was very disappointed. No flavor whatsoever. Stick to the sushi and you'll be alright. read more

Decided to try this place due to recommendations and I was definitely worried due to the location in a strip mall. Previous reviews compare Sushi Ya to Asian Island, and I would say that they are quite similar. Both are excellent. Similar quality food, similar presentation similar service, and similar atmosphere. Asian island has a slightly better setup with their decor and ability to accommodate larger amounts of guests. However, Sushi Ya more than exceeded my expectations. Excellent service, delicious and plentiful menu choices. Specials offered as well. I was definitely pleased. If you like sushi, definitely give it a try. I would not say it is"overpriced". My boyfriend ordered a soda and a few pieces of sushi, and I ordered the tuna dumpling appetizer. We both got a regular roll and a special roll each. Our total was approx $55. We left very full and satisfied. That isn't expensive for sushi, it's average. For those saying the service is over-attentive, I can see how that might be possible because I'm sure that when they are busy they are trying to keep service quick in order to accommodate more guests in a small dining area. Those upset about lunch specials not offered on weekends don't seem to understand the point of specials. Lunch specials are meant to draw in more guests during a period when business is normally slower. Since they are already busy on weekends, they don't need to offer specials those days. A lot of restaurants do it, and it's not really unfair. Overall, I would say Sushi Ya compares with Asian Island and Tokyo Sushi. All three are excellent Sparta sushi locations. Hopefully soon we can get another decent Sussex County sushi place not in Sparta... read more

The owners welcome me here like a friend, as I keep coming back regularly. Then I notice they do the same for others, as the other patrons cannot stay away for too long, either. If you are anywhere in the area and want the best meal in town, Sushi Ya is the place! I always have a great meal here, and anyone I have brought with me is equally impressed by the quality of the food product. Ask for the chef recommendations of the day. Enjoy! read more

Food is okay; however, the service has been bad on multiple occasions. Several times I have been turned away from a table and told to come back later to return to another family sitting at my designated table. There is a communication barrier between the waiters and they have made little effort to make this a pleasant dining experience. When I have gotten a table, I feel rushed to eat quickly and cannot maximize my dining pleasure. I recommend 100% Tokyo Sushi only 5 minutes from Sushi Ya. read more
