Reviews for Shumi Japanese Cuisine in Ridgewood, NJ
Some of the best sushi I've ever had. My girlfriend and I got the omakase special and werr very impressed with the quality of... the fish and the garnishes that paired well with each. It was plenty of food too, so definitely worth the money. The decor andvibe were fun, and the wait staff were all friendly and attentive, which helped further elevate the experience. Would definitelyrecommend Read more
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 someangles. The restaurant itself was consistently busy. The waiters described every dish that was brought over down to everydetail. The fish was super fresh and paired very nicely with a certain sauce. Unfortunately, there were so many dishes, I couldnot remember all the names. Looking back at the pictures has me wanting to go back for more. You'll definitely leave on a fullstomach and well worth the price. The restaurant itself is located in the very cute town of Ridgewood. So after you eat, youcan walk around. Plenty of cute shops, cafes, and dessert places. We had no issues finding parking. Make sure to put your namedown on the email list to receive a free omikasi on your birthday! Read more
I visited for lunch on the recommendation of a friend, and after making a reservation, I was seated without waiting. service was... very friendly. The fried oyster salad selected as an appetizer was very tasty, but the main menu was not as satisfying as I hadexpected. Read more
Absolutely spectacular sushi. The quality of fish was incredible. The variety was what you would expect from a top tier... restaurant. Perfect sushi rice. While everything was incredible, the cones stood out to me…. Warm rice, cold fish, crispnori….perfection. Not cheap. Worth every penny. If you’re into real sushi, this is where it’s at…. If you’re into thegoopy saucy crunchy Americanized rolls where the fish is hidden… this isn’t the place for you. I highly recommend. Amazing. Read more
An amazing and delicious experience! I have been here multiple times and each time I cannot pass up the omakase. David, the... chef and owner, takes time to really make you appreciate every part of the omakase experience. He is obviously passionate abouthis restaurant and craft and it is evident with every bite. Read more
Very tasty spot. Was sitting there for a while before my waiter came over but then I realized they do a lot of prep for each... guest. I wasn't being ignored is what I'm getting at. Food was very fresh and well prepared. Staff was very kind and courteous.The rolls I had were excellent. Ridgewood roll especially. The chicken teriyaki box was outstanding. Ery eased with this placeand I will be back. Read more
I have been an avid Sushi fan and lover for well over 30 years. I enjoy Sashimi the most although I know many steer away from... it. But, to me this is the BEST place period when it comes to Sushi. I mean OMG the freshness of the fish is insane to thepoint the fish melts on your tongue. I mean WOW and the plates are so big you can barely eat it all. Bring friends, bring foodwine and simply enjoy the BEST sushi you will EVER experience in Bergen County New Jersey. Be prepared for the service you havenever had Herr as well ad ALL the employees treat you so nicely and even explain what you are eating. I have been here 5 timesin 5 days so believe me this is the place. Well be back on Friday! Read more
