Best Japanese Restaurants in Carlstadt

It was a great experience for my first time being at Sushi Yasaka. I will be going back again.

Blu on The Hudson is arguably the best restaurant I have ever visited. From the moment you pull up to valet service until the time you leave, it offers an exceptional experience. On January 3, 2025, I had dinner with a few friends, and the food was outstanding. There were eight of us, and we ordered various appetizers, entrées, and sides. I couldn't find anything negative about the food; everything tasted amazing. However, I did have my favorites. The "Thick Cut Wagyu Bacon," slow-cooked with a soy caramel glaze, is absolutely to die for. For my main course, I enjoyed the Wagyu Tomahawk, paired with whipped potatoes and truffle cream spinach. As a finishing touch, I had truffle butter drizzled over my Tomahawk. As I mentioned, I was there with a group of friends on January 3, 2025. The ambiance, service (specifically from Letty and Amber), drinks, and food prompted me to make a reservation for a date night with my wife the next night, January 4, 2025. Guess what? Blu on The Hudson didn't disappoint. Our waitress, Victoria, was excellent! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and made our evening flawless. After dinner, she had the valet retrieve our vehicle, just as Amber and Letty had done the previous night. I can't wait to return to Blu on The Hudson; it's a perfect choice whether you're looking for a date night or a relaxed outing with friends.

The Benihana experience is always great! We had a private room which was fantastic so we could hear each other talk as well as enjoy the Hibachi Chef. Our nephew had so much fun watching the Chef do all the tricks. This is the original Benihana restaurant so the prices are suitable and all the courses were delicious. I personally had the sirloin steak and shrimp which were juicy and delicious.

I have been coming to this restaurant for years now. And whilst obviously the staff change , the sense of the place never does. Wonderful food, excellent service and thank you for giving me my favourite table.

The place was beautiful. The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional. I will definitely come back.. :)
