I went to Kumo for lunch today and the sushi was delicious! I had the soup, salad and sushi for $10. The soup and salad was alright, nothing special. I had 6 pieces of California roll and 6 pieces of sweet potato roll. It was so fresh and tasty! I had never heard of a sweet potato roll. It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and I think some of it was dipped in tempura batter. The restaurant was clean, and beautifully decorated in a modern decor but it was very dark inside, maybe a little too dark. I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu items. You can't go wrong here.

My second sushi stop in Pearl River, which appears to have more sushi per capita than any small town Iâve ever encountered was Koi 21. It is aptly named as a major attraction of the restaurant is a large (Iâm guessing at least 1,000 gallons) indoor Koi pond with a waterfall and probably three dozen Koi. The colorful Japanese fish, selectively bred from Chinese carp are fun to watch. Some, I was told by the owner are 30 years old. (Although the restaurant just opened â the âGrand Openingâ banner is still flying outside â the fish were installed by the prior owner who operated at the location for many years before retiring and selling out to the current Chinese ownership. I have Koi myself and some of Koi 21âs were very nice specimens; some were 18 inches long and looked well-fed. Kids would love it and there is a childrenâs hibachi menu. The restaurant has a small (four seat) sushi bar and plenty of table space. I always go for the bar. It being lunchtime, I went with the Sushi and Sashimi lunch combo, a bargain at $14.95. In addition to soup or salad, you get 8 pieces of sashimi, four pieces of nigiri sushi and a tekka maki (tuna roll). All the fish were very fresh. The sashimi came in a presentation I have never seen before; I will try to describe it as best I can. Take a glass serving bowl and put a battery operated light that changes colors (reminded me of the wild tables and chairs at Morimotoâs Philadelphia restaurant and sushi bar). Cover that with ice; the lights shine through the ice. Put the sashimi on top of the ice protected by shiso leaves. There you have it. Interesting and a bit of fun. There are also a la carte sushi and sashimi options as well as all the specialty rolls that Americans demand of their sushi bars. In addition, there are noodle dishes, teriyaki, hibachi and bento boxes.Of note, they have a well-curated selection of 8 sakes, arranged by âBeginner,â Sake Drinkerâ and âExpert,â priced accordingly and served cold. I prefer my sake âkarakuchiâ (very dry) and one was available but I opted for my favorite Asahi Super Dry. American beers are available as well.Recommended.

The title is self-explanatory. I think it is a bit on the pricey side compared to other places around, but I think it is better than others nearby. I do wish they would deliver though

On a consulting project in the Pearl River/Montvale area and explored all the sushi options as âresearchâ for my sushi Blog (Dear IRS: yes, I am deducting this). They were all very similar but I have to give the nod to Gen Sushi & Hibachi. Gen is located in a strip mall and like most of the sushi establishments in the area offers sushi/sashimi as well as cooked Japanese fare as well as various other Asian options. They also have a limited selection of wines by the bottle and half-bottle but no beer or sake. Oh well, wine works in a pinch and the Pinot Grigio goes well with fish. They apparently do a lot of take-out and a lively lunch, although no one (but me and one other single) sits at the sushi bar. The ten-piece sashimi lunch actually as twelve pieces and comes with the ubiquitous soup (miso) or salad (ginger dressing). Both are on the better side of standard. But what got me was the maguro (tuna) sashimi, which I gave a rare âAâ rating. It was edging towards the chu-toro level of fattiness and was extremely fresh. High volume sales tend to help with freshness. The sashimi lunch came with the aforesaid tuna, salmon, flounder and shiroi maguro (i.e. white tuna or albacore). All were of high quality and fresh. Service is prompt and friendly even during a very busy lunch. Prices are average for the region. All-in-all, as I said, the best option in the area.

We are frequent visitors to Yuki. The service is efficient, friendly and the food delicious. I love sushi and theirs is always fresh and tasty. My boyfriend doesnât eat sushi but loves their chicken with garlic butter. They donât have a liquor license but will gladly heat up your saki if you bring a bottle. I have also ordered delivery from them a number of times. Quick delivery and the same delicious food.
