Nihon Kai Japanese Cuisine - Japanese restaurant in Bergenfield - 41 S Washington Ave, USA

I have been ordering food from here for 2 years now. I order sushi and their deserts. For the past year, they have been mistakes on my orders. One of my last orders they forgot to put a soda and instead they told me to request it for next time so that they can bring it. Today, I ordered sushi along side what was suppose to be fried ice cream and I was only give ice cream. It was not fried. What the hell! Not ordering anymore.

Tried a takeout from this small place on Washington ave and did not get disappointed. In addition to pretty decent sushi they also have some interesting dishes such as gyoza, yakitori for those who like an injection of meat appetizers in their takeout. Stuff is really friendly and offered me a little bit on the house at the late hour, which was a nice addition to a great food. Will recommend!

Ordered “top 10 sushi with tuna roll”, the fish is so fresh. Good price for $30+ Also, ordered the teriyaki chicken bento about $18, along with deep fried oysters, California rolls and salad. The chicken doesn’t taste like teriyaki, it is just Chinese to-go style stir fried chicken with salty sauce. It was so salty that I only had one small piece of chicken. Very disappointed of the bento, so I took away 2 stars. The owner/ waitress are very polite and nice. keep refill the water. Good service.

Buyer beware. Tried this place for the first time for takeout this evening and we will not be returning. The garden salad dressing was bland, a simple spicy tuna roll tasted fishy and another roll (sunshine roll) smelled like cheese? We ate our food anyway as we were starving which was a big mistake as my boyfriend and I are currently running back and forth to the bathroom. Perhaps the regular cooked food might be better but clearly they are not using fresh fish for their sushi!

Unfortunately I think the quality of food here is going down. Last couple of orders of sushi made here did not taste fresh and some were very fishy to the point it was inedible. Which is too bad, they were pretty good once.

Dirty floors, sticky table, badly maintained walls etc., Served by a 14 or 13 year old boy. Sushi and sashimi was okay (at best) except the miso soup which tasted like melted plastic and had a refrigerator-cold bit of tofu and kelp at the bottom. I left it on the table. For how excellent the sushi is at other places in Bergen county, this one should be avoided.

It's a little pricey but that is to be expected of sushi restaurants. The sushi roll I got was beautiful and delicious. Would definitely come back again!

First time trying them and pleasantly surprised. The appetizer portions are small but suitably priced making adding some variety quite easy. I got the yakitori and tofu agedashi which was excellent. Main course I got unagi don, the sauce was not as sweet as most places- seaweed salad was very refreshing and the eel seemed fresher than most places. It wasn't flattened out from being in a vacuum sealed bag.
