    Wasabi R
    Vann H.

    I have ordered from here many times and never left a review because the food was so appealing that I simply forgot. This time was different, which is why I am keeping it fair and scoring the way I am. I ordered shumai their Japanese dumplings with shrimp, Wasabi R which has tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and avocado inside and outside with 3 different tobiko. I also got the sashimi dinner (15 Pieces of assorted fish, with miso soup). The dumplings were nicely cooked and good. The sashimi was fresh with an assortment of various pieces of raw fish. I highly recommend it. The Wasabi R is where things got weird for me. The tobiko lacked taste, I guess it is for aesthetics more than anything. It was a very average roll. I would not order it again. They are always fast delivering so no points lost there. This time I was not blown away. I am assuming it was an off night. I normally order from here, when I can't get up the hill to Kim's. This place is good though.

    We got takeout. The sushi was good for the price point. Fish felt fresh but the sushi rolls weren't wrapped properly. Half the pieces would open up from being picked up or the rice would fall off the seaweed. But we did appreciate the ratio to rice to filling. They gave us a salad with our order which was nice. Decent spot for sushi craving without breaking the bank and no frills.

    This is based on my take out experience. I will come back to dine inside so May 5 stars is in their future. I ordered take out and came to the restaurant to order. During my wait for the food I was able to make some observations. Nice street side set up for outside dining. They are very clean and prepared for COVID as best they can. All the staff were wearing masks, the tables appeared socially distant, inside they have nice decor and lighting including lighting in the menus. Nice touch! They have a Buddha that greats you as you walk past the bar into the dining room. Further down on the left is a Sushi bar. They appear to have a good selection of food and drinks. The manager/ hostess was extremely accommodating while waiting for my take out order, offering bottled water and a seat on a very comfortable couch. She greeted some regulars by first name and was very cordial. I ordered shrimp with pineapple which was delicious. They gave me edamame on the house which was very nice. I said I was visiting friends who live in New City and said I would take a ride from Brooklyn to eat here because they were so nice. Based on this simple first interaction and vibe I'm the restaurant I would say they look like a good choice. I will update my review after my next visit.

    Tofu Teriyaki Dinner Box
    Amanda I.

    Finally tried this little place and was pleasantly surprised! The tofu teriyaki dinner box was very good and came with lots of extras for a good price. Just vegetarians be mindful that my tofu & veggies came with shrimp shumai and a california roll (imitation crab) which wasn't listed on the menu. I ordered to go and my food was ready pretty fast. I would probably only order to go from here since it was VERY small on the inside, only like two tables. But will definitely order from here again.

    Love it! Great lunch special prices. Will keep getting delivery from them. Spicy tuna roll is delicious, and great with wasabi.

    Spicy crab and shrimp tempura roll.
    Cassy B.

    First off, there's parking the back which is super helpful since it's such a busy street. When we first walked in I thought it was take out only. There was only a few chairs by the sushi bar and two small tables. We were seated quickly though. The staff was friendly and attentive. We started with edamame. Came out super hot and salted perfectly. Went with the shumai too and almost wish we didn't. It definitely was not my favorite part of the meal, skip that for sure. The sushi was fantastic though! Definitely stole the show. We went with a spicy crab roll, shrimp tempura, soft shell crab and I believe a pink lady roll. Huge pieces in each roll. Rice was perfect, the fish was fresh and plentiful too. The presentation was also beautiful. The wasabi was powerful and fresh. I can definitely see myself coming back and just grabbing some takeout. While this place is small it still has some nice ambience to it. It's quaint and decorated and you have a full view of the chefs making sushi. Overall it's a great find!

    Jumbo shrimp teriyaki
    Marcus S.

    Saturday night take out and wanting to try something new this was what was decided on. For one my main concern with take out is that it won't be hot when in make the fairly short trip back home to eat it that wasn't the case here. Everything was sealed tight and good and hot. So with plenty to choose from I picked the the jumbo shrimp meal. They didn't skimp on the shrimp which is a peeve of mine when ordering similar entrees but what went wrong is that it was way waaaay too many onions in it, and they were only cooked a little bit. So it wasn't the worst thing and the sauces that came with the meal were good but it was too oniony for me and at nearly $20 that was quite high. The food itself was good. I ordered the food right here through the yelp app and it was very smooth, food was bagged and ready 20 min. After ordering which is a good look.

    California Roll & Shrimp Tempura Roll (2)
    Sam M.

    I ordered two shrimp tempura and one California roll. The rolls were bigger than usual, but a bit sloppy. The wasabi wasn't properly separated so a couple pieces had strong wasabi flavor. Overall, it was decent sushi. It satisfied my craving, but it's not some place I would go unless I was in the area again

    I spend a lot of time in West Orange and I was pleasantly surprised to see on Yelp that another sushi joint opened up in this town. I always try to support the local businesses here. I've been trying to get to try out Wasabi Sushi and today was the day. I like that it is more intimate and smaller than most other sushi places (it's actually very small). Some places give you free hot tea, some charge three dollars per person for hot tea: here they charge $1 for unlimited hot tea which I think is a good thing. And the tuna/avocado, yellowtail/scallion, tuna/cucumber & avocado/cucumber rolls. All good. The yellowtail roll was a little chewy though. Pros: 1) Good service. 2) They have a very convenient parking lot in the back. I feel that the rolls were reasonably priced for what we received. Cons: The flatscreen TV on the wall looks more like an iPad - maybe they could put a bigger TV on the wall. I also wish they were open a little bit earlier so they could offer lunch delivery a little before 11 am. Also, maybe they should get sugar packets here instead of the little bowl of sugar. I plan on trying the Udon noodle soup next.

    When I first walked in, I was asked if I was "dining in or take out". I was taken back by that type of greeting. The place is small maybe that's why. It's possible this place is known for take out and majority of the customers dine-out. A simple hi how may I help you would have been nice. They were quick with the service, however, we were the only ones eating indoors and not takeout. They came to the table at least 4 times ready to take my order, which is all good. Karen eventually told me to call her over when I was ready to place my order. For my appetizer, I ordered the scallop buttered yaki. I was in heaven, I love scallops and the teriyaki sauce added to it made this dish even more tasteful. I was satisfied. I ordered three different rolls. The first one was volcano roll, this had crab meat on top very flavorful. Second, I had the madness roll, very yummy, salmon on top of the spicy tuna had me wanting to order another. I highly recommend getting these two rolls. However, I was a bit disappointed with the third roll, the Amazing roll. I specifically asked for this roll because it had mango in it. When I got the spicy tuna roll, the mango wasn't inside the roll, but rather laid on top. I don't know if mango are in season or not, but the mango did not taste like mango at all. I wouldn't recommend that roll. The Amazing roll was similar to a simple spicy tuna roll, I was better off ordering a regular roll for half the price. They do have dessert, which wasn't on the menu. They had deep fried ice cream, but ended up ordering the green tea mochi ice cream, my favorite thing in the whole world. That was my favorite item. For your first time here, if it's not busy, I advise you sit at the sushi bar. I sat by the window near the front entrance it was a bit cold.

I'm giving this 4 stars because I understand that similar options are more limited in the suburbs. This is a nice place for special occasions and the quality here is great but just know that you are paying a premium.

The interior is quite small and the tables are packed in rather close together. It is Rutherford, so BYOB is expected, though they do have very nice looking mocktails (which we didn't try). The hostess was very friendly as was our server. We opted for the Chef Tasting menu, mostly so that we didn't have to make too many decisions. It is the most pricy option, but gives you a real taste of what the restaurant has to offer. I will note that they are able to make substitutions for allergy or dietary accommodations. That said, I was unimpressed with the swap of the A5 Wagyu in both courses for me (I forgot to picture Course 5 - Blue Crab Handroll topped with A5 Wagyu, which they substituted with Ebi. I would have preferred a high end fish, which would better match the price point of the Wagyu as well.) I was looking forward to the Blue Crab handroll, but unfortunately it was my least favorite course of the evening, followed closely by the Lobster. On the contrary, the scallop appetizer and sushi were amazing (and I don't usually like scallop sushi at all). The Yellowtail Ceviche is pure perfection. They should also probably point out that anything with the A5 Wagyu, Unagi or Foie Gras should be eaten first (before it gets cold), this was a mis. Overall, the fish is very fresh, the flavor combinations are delightful, and the soy sauce eye dropper was fun. The service was excellent as well. We probably wouldn't order the omakase again, now that we know what we liked and what we would skip. The gelato was a surprisingly wonderful ending to an overall great meal. The price point here makes this a special occasion meal, so we likely won't be back soon.
