Kaname Restaurant in Cliffside Park

Nothing special

Love this place! I've been to lots of sushi restaurants in NYC and Jersey and Kaname has the best value of all them. The pieces of fish for the sushi are huge and fresh! The shrimp shumai is delicious. The tempura udon is great. My family loves coming here...highly recommend it!

Great food, great ambience, and a great owner.

Nice people and great food. Warm family atmosphere.

Great place. Wonderful service. It’s always a treat to go there.

Always a great place to eat

A good sushi bar, and it has the feel of a bar, which is a good thing. Guys arguing with the bartender (in Japanese) about the Yankees-Red Sox game. Pretty good sushi too.

Wow DIRTIEST place ever, so dirty!Shame 👎👎👎

I was very grateful when I was studying abroad. A wide variety of menus also found in Japanese izakayas. However, there is a menu that can be enjoyed not only by Japanese but also by Americans. The sushi material is large and the satisfaction is high.There is also a bar where you can drink beer and sake as well as cocktails and karaoke. The owner, George, is not only very friendly and enjoys cooking, but also a valuable Japanese restaurant full of originality that can be enjoyed as entertainment.

Decor is crazy old, value isn't there anymore, food used to be great, now better places in town serve more choices and delicious sushi.

Authentic japanese

2017.12 Nice and quiet... taste good....presentation not bad already but can do better so I can give a five star.. fish are typical one..... not crazy expensive.... big enough portion. japense sushi chef, nice service, they only open lunch and dinner, close in the afternoon. make sure you chk the time before going

It was a very cold day outside and inside but the food is excellent.

Been coming here for years Great food, good service. Reasonable.

Delicious food , the atmosphere inside is good and you feel like you are home. The woner George , is fantastic guy . He's chief of the kitchen & he like to talk with the customer's how is prepare the dish ect. There is choice of different drinks. I like to sit by the bar.

Authentic Japanese food served by super friendly staff. Sushi chef and owner are Japanese. The food was really good and not too pricey. We got the chicken katsu and kaname special dinner.

A shop where many Japanese people work in a friendly atmosphere.I also have alcohol.

Premium food, good environment!

Good service, great food, full bar, saki and the owner (who's there every day) was in a popular movie with John Travolta and Robin Williams! Sushi/Sashimi orders are one (huge) piece per order, Tuesday and Friday are the freshest days. Sunday and Thursday 'old' fish is still better than a good day at any other local place, and most in NYC. Enjoy!

Good for family. Kids friendly. I am happy that my child liked Natori rolling.

Great food, great treatment... The best sushi i ever had!

I love this place! We always stop by if we’re nearby. My family and I love the place. Food is superb, owner is friendly. Everything I eat here is delicious and genuine. Always a good experience!

It's is the best Japanese restaurant I have been in. There is warm atmosphere and amazing food. As it was said below it is real Japanese restaurant with it down history and signature dishes. The owner of this place from Japan and he is always happy to recommend the best food based on what you like.

George the owner is super nice and will always come say hi and take great care of you and your guests very great happy place, Cheers The Rockafeller oysters are amazing as well don't miss these...

Authentic Japanese food. Clean place and friendly service. A little slow but at least the food is very good.

My girlfriend and I tried the restaurant tonight and enjoyed ourselves. We had sushi and sashimi and found the fish very fresh. We also ordered miso and a seaweed salad. I typically do not care for miso but this one was the best I ever had. The rice was perfectly cooked. The service was great - everyone was very friendly and attentive. The decor is simple and could use a refresh but I didn’t go for the decor. We would go again especially as we liked the fact that it is run by a Japanese family.

Very very relaxing ... Just like home except the food is better. Good value too ...

Delicious sushi and great service

Food was good. Service was okay. Seems to be a local sushi dive bar if there is such a thing. Lot's of locals in the place. Our service was not the best. Lot's of rice on the sushi.

Dirty, dusty walls and rugs. Service was fair, small portions

Hidden old gem for Sashimi!

love George been coming here for 20 years. thanks

As much as i dont like to give bad reviews i have to save gard others. I ordered $75 worth of sushi to go and got bitter spoiled ikura sushi and old sour shrimp. The sushi i normally order is simple/standard, so i know when the sushi rolls are done wrong. Philadelphia roll are made with original cream cheese. My order came with sour taste cresm cheese with what i hope were scallions. Restaurants can have an off day. This was 10 points below off day.

been coming here for 20 years, George is the best!!! Lily best waitress

This is a real Japanese sushi restaurant, not a Japanese restaurant being run by Chinese owners and workers claiming they are Japanese. All waiters here are Japanese and the owner is from Japan too. The owner still makes sushi with his own hands for 25+ years of the restaurant existance and gladly communicated with his clients when not busy. Sushi are somewhat different from other chinese-owned places and they taste great. Cons: a little pricey

Fresh sushimi and great service

Great food, great service, everyone is friendly and the food is authentic. Great place.

Authentic Japanese food and great sushi/sashimi. Interior needs updating but it has a nice homey feel to it. Always great service and friendly owner that makes you feel like family. Normally packed on the weekends for a reason.

They have closed.
