Shumi Japanese Cuisine 70 East Ridgewood Avenue, Ridgewood, NJ 07450

"A truly amazing and memorable dining experience, and a welcome addition to our little town! I still cannot quite believe that the town of Leonia can now boast a world-class, first-rate sushi and omakase restaurant right on Broad Avenue! Executive Chef David Seo has followed up on the success of his Ridgewood restaurant of the same name with a Leonia location : a spacious, modern venue, a highly attentive wait staff, expert culinary crew, and fresh selections that never disappoint. Treat yourself or someone you love to an omakase (chef’s choice) sushi meal that you will not soon forget. The ingredients are extremely fresh, and the variety of fish is most impressive. I especially love the various tuna nigiri I have been served here. The combinations of fresh fish expertly sliced, soft rice, and unique sauces and toppings are all so tender that they literally melt in your mouth! But I would be remiss if I did not also sing the praises of the regular menu. I have tried nearly the entire menu and have never been disappointed. Some personal favorites are any of the poké appetizers, particularly the fatty tuna poké. I love all of the special rolls, particularly the Shumi and Leonia rolls. Although I have yet to experience it myself, they have lunch specials as well. This restaurant is truly a gem. FIVE STARS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"I moved from Ridgewood about eight years ago. I had some time today to enjoy lunch and decided to head back to Ridgewood and see what was new. Walking down Ridgewood Ave, I came across what to me was a new Japanese restaurant. Decided to check it out and what a great decision that turned out to be! I chose the three course lunch special. Every course exceeded my expectations, especially for a very reasonable price of $21 per person."

"Shumi is one of the best restaurants I have ever gone too. It's definitely worth the experience. I would definitely recommend getting one of their lunch/dinner boxes, you get so much delicious food for a great price. However, when we went this time, it was so busy that we ended up trying something new! Below I attached pictures of what my partner and I got for dinner. It really is our go to place. (From left to right: Tuna Tartar, Eel Unadon, Sushi and Sashimi Deluxe). The fish was fresh and everything was truly delicious. Make sure to reserve a table ahead of time, because Shumi gets extremely busy."

"I haven’t had such great sushi for a long time! The fish was very fresh and anything we tried was awesome. Hats off to the kitchen team. The staff were very friendly. This place is BYOB."

"Shumi is one of my favorite sushi places in NJ. I have been numerous times and have done both Omakase experiences + ordered other items off the menu. My brothers’ and their wives love it as well and frequently go! It’s a family favorite. Every time I have gone it was always filled with people. It created such an energetic vibe with the people including the music. Not overwhelming though, it’s the perfect amount to almost still feel intimate with whom your dining with. I’ve had a pleasure at trying both the sushi bar and regular tables - I personally prefer the bar if I’m doing Omakase. But if I’m ordering regularly from the menu, the tables are just perfect. The staff are always attentive and great. The quality of the fish is also incredible so I recommend trying Shumi if you haven’t been!
