wow. Thank you all for the outpour of recommendations. I tried Rigoletto Fusion in ridgewood and had a fantastic lunch. I got the sashimi lunch special and a ho-ho-kus roll. They both were fantastic. The lunch came with a great calas that had a miso-yuzu dressing that had a hint of sallion as well. The sashimi was laid on bananna leaves atop shaved ice in a very creative display and the roll had an excellent sauce similar to the teryaki often found on eel but slightly sweeter. Great time. I plan to work my way through all of the suggestions. Thanks everybody!

Thank you everyone! I plan to try them all :-) A teammate took us to Sakura-Bana in ridgewood which was pretty tasty. I have so many new places to check out now - gracias.

Hello all I travel frequently with work and will be staffed in Mahwah NJ for 6 months or so. As an avid sushi fanatic, I am always searching for very good Japanese Restaurants. So far, I have found a few places I really like. Most of these were a pretty far trek from Mahwah. Does anyone have any other (preferably closer) recommendations for Northern Jersey/NY area. Thanks! Some of my favs so far Wild Ginger – I love this place. The restaurant itself is very small and inviting. The sushi is top notch quality with very creative specials. My favorite dishes here are the spicy toro tartare and the scallop sashimi with a citrus-miso glaze. Ixora – Very romantic setting with great sushi specials and an extensive tea list. I have only been once but thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Auzora – Also only been once but really enjoyed the salmon sashimi with ponzu and the excellent nigiri specials. Any recommendations closer to the Mahwah/Ramsey area would be much appreciated. Thanks!!! Matt
