If you love sushi like me, you'll love this place!! Dropped by when I was driving through and no regrets. Fresh fish, stellar prices, and support to good people :). Wish I could go back more often. read more

This is my go to sushi spot in the area because the rolls are tasty, the service is good, and it's always consistent. I can't say it's the most mind blowing sushi, but it's always reliable. read more

Tried this spot last week. We had two great rolls and some very high quality salmon. That is where it ended . I then ordered some uni and received two pieces. I dropped the first piece into my mouth and realized it was rotten. My choice was to spit it out in the middle of the restaurant or just swallow. I bit the bullet. Sent the last piece back which was confirmed bad . Of course you know where I spend the night. Sorry but taking it off my bill was not nearly enough. Either you don't know when you're fish has turned or you didn't care. No sushi chef with any integrity would have served it. read more

I absolutely love this place. Yamada Sushi is comparable to some the best places I've had in Japan. The fish is always fresh, their specials always have a nice balance of flavors. I've tried countless things on their menu and have NEVER been disappointed. Go, go, go~! :) read more

yamada sushi is a very good store. This is one of the best sushi i have ever been in restaurant. and chef's appetizer is wonderful. and price is also excellent. if you visit rutherford NJ, i want to recommend this sushi store.you never regret it. read more

I decided to eat dinner here. Initially wanted my food to be delivered, but because they were experiencing a high demand of customers, I agreed that I would pick up my order... Once I arrive home, I noticed that my order was not complete and they had charged me for it. I decided to call them and their response was "Sorry, we are busy" .... I asked them if they could deliver the rest of my order once they got a chance. They refused and told me that they would reimburse me and give me a call once it has been completed. I agreed and proceeded to give them my card number. Three days later, still no reimbursement or call..... Safe to say I WILLL NEVER order from this place again. Now, I have to keep close tabs on my credit card transactions because I have no idea what went on there. read more

Good rolls selection and service. They even gave us free appetizer and ice cream. read more

Yamada Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rutherford, New Jersey

Best sushi in NJ. I felt like I was in Japan for an hour. Great service. Nice people run this place. Creative presentation and "beautiful food" (as the lady with me said over and over.) Want good caviar but are not rich? Go here. All you need to know about caviar to enjoy it here, is that the pink one is the salty one and the orange one is the unsalted one. You don't have to speak Japanese either. Just point at the pictures and tell them how many. They let you use a fork too. read more

Great little sushi place in Rutherford. The whole street is covered with cool places to walk to. This place has a sushi bar and seating. The chefs are pretty fast and courteous. BYOB and the sushi is made good. I have lived in the area for 5 years and this is the first sushi place that shows good sushi bar qualities and crafted food. read more

My fav sushi spot. One of my favs is the M&D roll. Very filling and so good. Everything here is fresh and delicious. I wish they had later hours on weekends Bc it's a great place to BYOB read more

I have now been to establishment twice. I have to say the sushi is very good. The second time I went, which was last night, I had the Udon Ramen Soup. It was amazing! It's extremely hot, so if you do not like spicy, DO NOT have it. I happen to love spicy so I really enjoyed it. The only reason I did not give this place five stars is because I find the size of the rolls to be on the small side. For a specialty roll I would expect the rolls to be bigger, and they are not. The regular rolls, like the spicy tuna or tuna rolls, those are even smaller then normal, in my opinion. Overall the food is great tho and would come back here for sure. read more

We stumbled upon this sushi bar accidentally over a year ago. The first time we actually went in to eat, we were pleasantly surprised by the staff and the food. We kept going back and have never had a bad experience. Their lunch menu is outstanding, with bento boxes and sushi at a great price. Whenever we go to Yamada, we are ALWAYS greeted with energetic hellos from all of the staff. The atmosphere is great, the food is great, and the price is perfect. I think I would like to live at Yamada. read more

I've been to Yamada a few times, but it's not my favorite sushi place. I don't have a problem with the quality of food -- I'm not fond of the selection. The rolls are expensive for the limited options they have. If you're craving sushi and you've found yourself a spot on Park Ave., knock yourself out. But I'd rather be at Nizi. read more

Came here on a Friday night and we were seated right away. Service was non-existent. The one waitress went from being completely overwhelmed at the beginning of the night to just standing around awkwardly waiting for the food to be prepared. I wasn't feeling the kani salad. We ordered a bunch of rolls and they were good enough to warrant a return visit. Just hope they add another waitress if we come on the weekend. read more

Order the Steve Roll and have that as your finisher. Get a spicy tuna hand roll while you are at it. This isn't the fanciest place, but I always leave happy. read more

This sushi house is 10 minutes walking distance from my work. They Always serve fresh sashimi with good service. And friendly staff.

I'm japanese And i never seen sushi place as yamada sushi. Sushi is really good than others additionally, owner who is charlie speaks japanese which made me feel good. I fell that i'm having some sushi in japan. This is must go place. read more

This place has the best sushi and the warmest atmosphere. Trust me, I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants and this place tops them all. BYOB! read more

Our go-to sushi spot. Small place, not a lot tables. Sort of a "hole in the wall" that is absolutely amazing. BYOB. Great sushi, always fresh. read more

I've been going to this place since 2010 and I have to say that I have not been able to find a better place than this one. This sushi spot has the best sushi I ever had. I love going there. Every time I get to eat there I get so happy because of their yummy food!!!! read more

Terrible food, especially compared to other sushi restaurants in Lyndhurst/Rutherford area!! way to big pieces of sashimi! Fish bones on the sashimi! Extra salty soya souce! dry chicken teriyaki. Refused to delivered( stated they no longer do delivery while on yelp it states that they do. I would just order from Nizi sushi next time. read more

My favorite sushi place in Rutherford hands down!! I love Nizi as well, but I love Yamada more!!! They know how to make my Philadelphia rolls just right!! Favorites are spicy tuna, California, and Philadelphia so if you get any of those you won't be disappointed !! Hours are good too! Only negative is parking , but their is usually street parking available on park avenue. read more

I enjoy the some of the sushi in this place, but there are somethings that can improve here. The booth seats are torn and all they did was duck tape it. When i sat in the booth, you can tell the duck tape had been there a while, so it was sticky. Pretty clean, only thing that feels that they haven't cleaned was the glass of the fridge case where they keep the pieces of fish that they use for the sushi. I like the flavor to their sushi, and it is filling. I am always satisfied because the sushi "special" rolls are always plump. Once when i sat at the sushi bar, i did notice the sushi chef using saran wrap to roll the sushi, and he would also cut the slices of the roll with the saran wrap still wrapped around the sushi. Then he would take off the saran wrap and the sushi would hold its shape. It was a little concerning just because "what would happen if a piece of plastic got lodged into the sushi." Im glad i never had a piece of plastic. The only thing that was really a thumbs down was the spicy tuna roll. The reason the spicy tuna roll gets a thumbs down was because i had multiple pieces of Sharp fishbone in my Spicy tuna roll. I couldn't enjoy it without being paranoid that i was going to swallow a piece of fishbone. Im going to add one more thing to the thumbs down is the shrimp tempura roll. It is not fresh. I noticed that they have the shrimp already fried and stored in a container(maybe store bought ‍ not sure), so all they do is grab the piece of stored fried shrimp from the container and make their rolls. So freshness is a 2 out of 5. Five being the max freshness. Other than that, they are very nice and sushi is decent. I want to give it four stars because i do eat here but im going to give it a 3 star review because all those little things do add up and it it is a downfall for this spot; It should have been taken care of and improved. I will come back to eat here just because the sushi is filling. Oh and i forgot to add, they did bring free spring rolls that were good! read more

My brother and I, found this place online! They have a online menu with delivery service. We decided to drive there and have lunch. The prices were great. We ordered a chicken teriyaki box, and it was not the typical traditional Japanese style teriyaki because the place is ran by korean so it had a korean twist to it. I wouldn't order it again!! The sushi is great!! We ordered a dragon roll there and it taste so good. We even order two additional dragon rolls!! The service was great and they have a special reward program for returning customers.. read more

Great place for sushi. The volcano roll is amazing, the white dragon roll and Rutherford roll are just as good. Will definitely be going back there. read more

Excellent sushi! Very fresh, well prepared & presented by an obviously experienced and talented staff. Sat at sushi bar & chefs very friendly & accommodating. I'm a self-proclaimed sushi pro & you really can't beat the freshness, value, and variety of the fish. Are salmon, tuna, and yellowtail sashimi, as well as part of the Yami roll, and finished with the Ikura topped with a quail egg. Highly recommend all. The only minus...no sake or beer. It's a "dry" town. read more

Went there for the first time and service was awful and spend 56 on the food and got out hungry

My trusted go to place for sushi. Haven't had any other local place beat the quality and price. They have never messed up any of my phone orders - and that in itself deserves a 5. read more

Excellent place, and they DO have a bathroom (for those who read the previous review and were apprehensive about eating here). :)

Small, kinda humid, sushi was good, not the best but tasty. read more

Yamada Sushi - Spider roll, shrimp tempura roll, Mango roll, and wasabi roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rutherford, New Jersey

Such cute cozy place in downtown Rutherford close to rt 17 and 3 if you are driving and also close to the train station if you are using public transit. We walked in at 2:45 and realized they were closing at 3 pm for lunch break. They accommodated us and kept the restaurant open until we were done with our lunch. Their lunch specials are awesome be to box also comes with miso soup for $11. Also ordered yami and Steve rolls which were both amazing! We will be regulars at this sushi heaven! read more

This place is the definition of average. Their gyoza, spring rolls and edamame are all straight out of frozen packages from Costco or BJs (we saw them in the freezer). They are microwaved before being served to you. The roll selection is not super diverse. Most rolls come with something "spicy" or something "fried" or the fake crab stick. I've been told be real sushi aficionados that these are all subpar menu options. We got 4 rolls. They were fine in flavor. However, they were extremely small, and they fell apart as you tried to pick them up. Not a bad meal, but not good. read more

Really good take out Sushi. Avocado salad was excellent as well. Only drawbacks are parking is a nightmare and they screwed up my bill for pick up a few times. read more

I like their sushi a lot but I am sad to say they no longer deliver. I called tonight to get my sushi on and I was informed they no longer deliver. Guess I will be ordering from Nizi. read more

I came here to eat lunch and dinner with friends and family. Service is extremely great, very kind and sweet also sushi chef was very nice too. I love this place is one of my favorite place to enjoy my meal all the time! read more

This is my favorite sushi place in the area. They deliver and have a good selection. Reminds me of Cafe Zaiya in Manhatten.

Great little place. Brought my niece, her first experience at a BYOB. We had the Love Roll and Boston. Our waiter brought out a small surprise, two little spring rolls. Delicious. Most definitely will go again read more

Came here on a few occasions for lunch and dinner with my friend and overall the place is really nice. Its a small intimate place on the main ave of Rutherford, the staff was friendly and the service was pretty quick. They offered us complimentary veggie rolls with our meal. read more
