Mirak | Japanese Sushi Restaurant Fort Lee Cliffside Park, Edgewater, NJ | Korean foods

Wow. Just wow! Absolutely incredible food. They get their fish fresh from Japan 3 times a week, they use new oil everyday (which results in the best gyoza I’ve ever had in my life)…. Everything was sooo fresh and delicious! My husband ordered the yellow tail jalapeño roll which he loved, he also tried the fire roll which he said it was “really good, very different”. This spot has multiple options for vegetarians. Ten out of ten experience!!

very very fresh sashimi and reasonable prices for deliciously unique specialty rolls as well as classics. we'd love to try the fire roll next time, we were told that it's their special! the service was also excellent and personable, and I love that they serve barley tea at the perfect temp :)

This is one of those places I tried where I wondered why I have not been by sooner since I am so close by. Props to this spot for being open on a Monday night as it was frustrating finding a sushi spot that wasn’t closed. This place looked promising, so I decided to give it a try and I am very glad I did. They had a great variety of different special rolls; I am not a fan of cucumber on sushi and they were accommodating to my preference for every roll. A lot of the time when I request no cucumber at sushi places, it falls on deaf ears and I end up taking it out myself but they were accommodating here. I was also a big fan of their shrimp tempura because they cut the tails off the shrimp without me having to ask. I can’t stand when a few tails are left on the shrimp for decoration and I make a mess eating the piece. Even when I request it off at certain places, that is ignored even more than the no cucumber request. This is the first spot I ever went to that served shrimp tempura exactly how I like it without me having to make any adjustments to my order. One thing I loved about their sushi style in general is that many of their rolls come with crunchy flakes on/in the sushi which is a nice touch. That element of crunch and extra flavor from the crumbs really does push the sushi to the next level; I would like all my sushi to have this addition to it. The general quality of the fish was also quite good; from the tuna and yellow tail to their cooked options. One thing that would make this place perfect would be if they offered an all you can eat option; as a customer I could wish for that, but I know it is not always in a restaurants best interest to offer it lol. I will also add that the service was great; we did not have to call a server over at any point to ask for anything because they were very attentive. Overall, I was very satisfied and will definitely be back. I highly recommend this place to sushi lovers in the area.

We ordered the Roll Set for Two via DoorDash and were very impressed with the value! For the price, it included 4 regular rolls, 2 special rolls, tempura, salad, and miso soup. Everything was delicious and fresh. The tempura was especially good—crispy and perfectly seasoned, with a great accompanying sauce. While it could easily feed three, it’s a very satisfying meal for two. My favorite was the sashimi roll (rice-less!), which really let the quality of the fish shine. I'm looking forward to trying their Korean menu next time!

Do yourself a favor and don’t go to any other sushi place in the area. I’ve literally tried everywhere within a 20 mile radius and nothing compares to the freshness, quality and service of this place. Absolute gem of a sushi spot. Plus, it’s BYOB!! 10/10 recommend.

Let me first say that the sushi here is very good. It's probably one of the better rolls in the area and the fact its byob is def a plus. So why the ehh rating? I've been here multiple times and the service is very hit or miss. I dont say that lightly. When it's bad, I'm not talking like "its hard to flag someone down" type bad service. I mean straight up unacceptable. If there's only a few other tables when you're there, you're fine, but if its busy good luck. One time I waited 70+.minutes to get my food after ordering. That's not an exaggeration. I started staring at the clock after awhile. We were told after about 30-40 minutes that the server had forgotten to put our order in. Honestly i wasn't even mad. I get it, people make mistakes. What I think is unacceptable is we were told our order would be placed at the top of queue because of the mistake. Nope. Watched order after order come out of the kitchen that wasnt ours. Literally had people sit after us, finish their meal and leave before I saw food. Had to follow up on it 3 more times and just kept being told it's next and the kitchen is busy. I had a perfect view of the sushi bar from my table. I could see they were busy. I could also see about 10 orders get completed before ours waa promised as "next". Whatever, I chalked it up to a bad day, especially since the lady who kept talking to us seemed really apologetic. This more recent time I encountered an attitude problem that really annoyed me. When our bento box came there was no rice so we asked for a bowl. Cool. When our soup came I had to ask for a soup spoon and a fork for my 3 year old. Again, no problem. Finally, as we were eating the sushi I asked for extra wasabi and ginger and was told by someone (idk if he's a manger or owner or what, but hes an older guy) that we need to stop asking for things because he's come to us "5 times" already. Mind you, we were never once checked up on, this was all flagging people down. Also, each of these dishes came out at different times so we needed different things for each dish. I guess i was supposed to wait, let all the food get cold, and then decide all at once everything we needed. Or maybe my toddler should suck it up and not have utensils? Like I said, the attitude was really off putting and I'll probably not be going back even though they have good food. What a shame.

Had a wonderful experience here with the family. The fish was fantastic and ramen delicious! Service welcoming and very attentive. We will be back :)

The food was SO good!! Plus the portions are so big for the price I was surprised when the huge sushi set came in. So definitely worth the price! Excellent service as well, the waitress was super nice!! :D

Great sushi in the area. super fresh and always delicious. Great service and homey quaint vibes.

Food: Solid, fresh sashimi - generous portions for lunch special - hubby had their bento box which was also generous portions; tempura - fresh hot Service: friendly Ambiance: clean, spacious

The place has parking on the side and lots of seating. Looks like it can easily accommodate large party. The service was impeccable, the servers were accommodating, pleasant and knew everything on the menu. We should have listened because we way over ordered. Everything was delicious, and fresh and reasonably priced. We some of the regulars bought their own wine, so we'll do the same next time. I definitely recommend Mirak.

Easily one of the best sushi spots in bergen county, plain and simple. A bit more pricey than other nearby spots but still worth it. The sushi is very fresh and there is a lot of great variety when it comes to the specialty rolls. The restaurant is nice and clean and you can see the sushi chefs making your meal!

Love the special sushi set. Good enough for 3 people. Includes uni, scallop and ebi. Love that they fry the shrimp heads. That bite is delicious! Service is great and they are always so good with our little one. This has been our spot for sushi and we continue to go back.

I love this gem! They have BYOB and are kind enough to provide you with ice. The food is amazing. My favorites are pork dumpling soup, kani salad and the Palisades sushi. Great ambiance, the servers are great, the host always sits you down quickly. Highly recommend for family gatherings, dates and friend catch-ups. Parking is free and behind the restaurant.

Great sushi spot!! I ordered takeout twice already. The sashimi is super fresh and all the rolls taste delicious! This time, I ordered sashimi and the roll set for 4 - it was super filling. It came with an order of tempura, and soup and salad for everyone. Such a great deal for 4 people. What blew me away this time was their customer service. My order of sashimi was missed when we picked it up. They called me several times and texted me to let me know. I feel like most places would have just left it but they delivered it to me right away even though I ordered for pick up. They were prompt and showed up at my door minutes after the text message. I appreciate them for that! I highly recommend Mirak and I can't wait to try more rolls!

We came here on a whim last night and really enjoyed our meal. We were welcomed and seated immediately. Don't let the outside fool you, the inside is quiet, clean, and quaint. I'm allergic to fish, so my options for 'sushi' were pretty limited. I ended up going with an avocado and cucumber roll and a chicken tempura roll. The avocado and cucumber roll was delicious. The chicken tempura roll. I was not a fan of and left it there. I'd suggest the restaurant have more options for those of us who are allergic to fish, but join our family/friends when they are craving sushi. Having a specific or fun role for vegetarians instead of the standard cucumber/avocado, Cucumber/avocado/asparagus would be really nice. My husband ordered one of the sushi sets and absolutely loved it! He said that the fish was very fresh, portions were generous, and he could barely finish it. And he eats a lot! We also ordered the pork gyoza, which was delicious. And you are served complementary miso soup, and edamame before your meal. All in all, I will return with my partner when he goes back. If you are going for sushi, you won't be disappointed!

I went back and the service was great. They gave us complimentary tempura (with shrimp), salad, and miso soup again. They also gave us an extra roll for free!

What an absolute gem of a restaurant!!! We've both dined in several time as well as ordered for pick up and delivery, and they have never missed a beat. Let's start with dine in. The ambiance is pretty casual like a typical sushi restaurant but you can also come for a date night dinner. They allow you to bring your own bottle. Prices are very reasonable and staff is friendly. During one of our dine in experiences we sat at the sushi counter which was also lovely. We typically opt for some version of a combo platter with sushi, regular rolls, and/or special rolls. Some stand out items are the fire roll which is a must try! If you order for dine in they do light it on fire when they bring it- perfect balance of smokiness with the dish. I also really enjoy the hamachi dream which is a bit lighter and creamier. For regular rolls the spicy tuna has always been perfectly fresh! Kani salad is also a nice add on or appetizer. For take out or delivery- we prefer to pick up from them and order directly from their website. We ordered this week on a Saturday at 6 pm and our food was ready in under 15 minutes. They are truly amazing! They also have a Korean food section on their menu which I plan to try out in the near future. This place is a 10/5!! Give it a try if you are in the area.

Surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet! My current favorite for Japanese food. We usually order the Sushi & Sashimi Combo Set (For Two $135; For Three $215; For Four $265), which comes with a side of salad, mixed tempura set, miso soup and a choice of special roll, and a Tempura Udon ($18). Pictured is the New Salmon roll! Service is amazing here! They treat you like special guests every time without fail. We were treated to the chef's special Fire Roll and a complimentary hot sake in the end. It was my first time trying hot sake in the recent visit, and it accentuated the sushi and sashimi taste! Loved it. There's plenty of seating for large parties, and the interior ambience is rustic and dim to set the mood.

We ordered sushi roll platters and gyoza for a bridal shower and they were all very good!

Great spot with fast service and variety in the menu. All of the staff are very nice and as per usual you can see people making the sushi fresh. There's a few large sushi order options which seem perfect for a nice date night.

Food here is good depending on what it is the soups are highly salted. Their sushi and bento boxes are a hit! The only thing about the bento box is that it doesn't come with rice. The major issue here is the waitress staff, they are not friendly or customer oriented at all. Tea is a warm welcoming touch during the winter months.

I enjoyed my experience at MIRAK. My family and dined here and ordered more food than shown in our photos. The sushi was more than we could eat and was priced decently. The lady helping us was talkative and engaged in a lot of fun conversation with my family. Food tasted so fresh, was rejuvenating.

I've never been to a restaurant this disappointing despite such high ratings. I honestly wonder how it got those reviews. It's hard to imagine food tasting this bad. Staffs are kind and nice The cook needed to be replaced for sure

I must say I have been to Mirak soooo many times, ever since it was previously located on Broad Avenue in Palisades Park. With the recession, inflation, COVID & whatnot, the quality is exactly the same as before, but the portion has decreased. But again, the quality is consistent. We especially love the sushi & sashimi combo for three people, around $130, and it is good enough for 4 people since it comes with miso soup, tempura, edamame, and especially the special roll along with of course, sushi & sashimi.

Awesome sushi!! Great place with really great service . My families go to sushi place

Love their sushi! It's always fresh and tasty! We mostly order Togo but I went during lunch and the lunch special is pretty good! Staffs are always friendly. Cozy spot

The sushi here is refreshing, very unique and tasty. They have a great chef who takes his time to plate perfectly and beautifully. The staff makes this place a 10/10. Its an amazing ambiance.

Only sushi spot in the area I go to whenever I crave quality sushi. Everything tastes very fresh and made with care. Nigiri has the perfect ratio of rice to fish and the sashimi pieces are fresh and not too fishy tasting. Servers are always friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this spot if in the area! Worth the money!

First time trying this spot and it was on point. Ordered a platter with 5 regular and 5 special. Super delicious and fresh. Highly recommend and will be ordering from them in the future.

Friendly staff, Taste is great, Good quality and quantity. Had roll for 3 and sashimi for 2. Was way too much food for 4 people. BYOB! Would return again for sure.

This place is such a nice surprise - really affordable sushi (so many platter and boat options!) that were fresh and had nice flavor. We ordered the ten roll boat, which was more than plenty for the five of us to share. They also gave us their signature roll, which is lit afire tableside, and tastes like roasty BBQ - very fun! All in all, a good restaurant to take a group as there's something for everyone, service prompt, and price is perfect!

Came here on a weekday during lunchtime. There is a small parking spot at the back of the restaurant. When entering the restaurant, was greeted and seated right away. The restaurant is really nice and clean. There are a lot of different plants to look at while waiting for your food. It has nice decorations. Plus, the bathroom is clean. After placing an order of the food. Sever came with some hot tea for the table. And their Korean side dishes were amazing. I liked their kimchi the most. Never had Korean potato salad before, but it blew my mind. Seafood Pancake - When it comes out hot and you take a bite, it has that nice crispy sound and taste to it. That's the best part. Good amount of green onion and seafood. Went well with the dipping sauce. Bulgogi in hot stone pot - I tasted my husband's dish. It has that nice sweetness to it with the beef. And the onions were cooked nicely. Went well with white rice. Stone plate Bibimbap with Spicy Pork - You can hear it sizzling, which is the best part. I like it when the rice is crispy on the bottom. Mix everything on the plate with the spicy pork and veggies. Everything on that plate was so delicious. The spicy pork had just the right amount of spice where it gives you that little kick. My father-in-law ordered Salmon Teriyaki Bento Box that looked delicious. They did not cheap you out on the salmon. It was a good portion of the fish (Some places would give you small, tiny sized salmon that doesn't fill you up). The sister-in-law ordered Chirashi, and that looked good. She said the fish is fresh. I would come back here again, and hopefully, they would have the Stone plate Bimimbap with baby octopus. That was my first pick, but they didn't have it, so I went with the spicy pork instead. I also wanted to try their sushi rolls.

The service and food were all amazing! My friends and I got the roll set for three which ended up being way too much for us but we still finished it. They also served miso soup, salad, and a tempura set with the food. The sushi rolls were fresh especially the snow mountain roll. Some of the spicy rolls felt a little too spicy however so next time we'll be getting more of the non-spicy ones. We also got an extra roll and mochi ice cream on the house! The servers and chefs were attentive and very friendly to our table which made the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant was also had a calm and quiet ambiance which we enjoyed. The set was also well worth the price for $85 which included 6 regular rolls and 3 special rolls! I would definitely come back again especially for the lunch menu and even try take out!

Great spot to enjoy a nice sized menu for your Japanese food needs. I had sat down to enjoy some of their sushi and took something to go. The presentation is quite beautiful, and their lunch special items are fairly priced. I was more surprised with their quality. Everything had a fresh taste to it, and you can tell it was made to order. Great ambiance if you plan on having a larger group or a date night. They are very hospitable and kept coming by to offer more warm tea. What stole the show for me was the ginger dressing on the salad. My main points in judging a Japanese restaurant is in the small things such as: ginger sauce, wasabi, and of course, freshness. The ginger sauce hit the spot and as for the wasabi... they give a little amount, but it packs a mean punch! I had asked for a take out on the Bulgogi in Stone Plate Bibimbobo. This item should be experienced in house and not to go, BUT... they packed it up nicely AND gave me ALL the condiments that accompanied this dish! That WOW'd me. Overall, this place has the freshness, flavors and hospitality for a great dining or take-out experience.

The delivery was super quick, and the food was very fresh and delicious. They definitely got themselves a new regular.

Tried a relatively new restaurant (they've been open for almost a year) in my family's neighborhood. It was delightful! Very friendly staff and great food. The rolls are a bit heavy on the sauce, but the fish is fresh. I would recommend getting the Happy Platter as you pick 3 special rolls and it's only $39 (vs. $14-16 per special roll). The Korean food is definitely the highlight: the mackerel, dwaenjang jjigae, spicy marinated pork, and soft tofu stew were all delicious. Will definitely come back next time I'm back in town!

Great ambiance and service and the sushi tasted fresh and delicious. Def try the kani salad and the pork belly for an appetizer, and the yellowtail sushi was incredible.

The place is small and cozy. I order from the Korean menu And my ribs were really good. My husband had the shrimp teriyaki And he liked it a lot.

Really wanted to like this place with all the raving reviews but didn't think this place stood out from other sushi places in the area. Got a few rolls to go from their lunch special menu. And the rolls here were decent. The salad with the ginger dressing was ok. The staff here however was very friendly. Overall an okay place in the area. Probably better options out there

Oh my! This place has really amazing lunch specials. I tried sushi combo today and was shocked by how much food I have in front of me and everything tastes so fresh and tastes so good! The restaurant is newly renovated and is very clean, the staffs are all very nice and friendly. I can't wait to come back again to try other items on the menu!

I've been so curious about this place since they opened, and I finally got try something! I caught the lunch special and took a Chirashi to go, which is a few bucks cheaper than the non-lunch version. There's a small parking lot behind the restaurant and I was in & out, quick. I ordered using their site and it was very easy to check out, plus a text alert system in place so I knew exactly when my order was ready for pickup. The chirashi itself had 12 pieces of fish plus some roe (on top & underneath), shrimp, and artificial crab, all over sushi rice. Solid lunch with a side of miso soup or salad. I definitely want to try some rolls next time because I have a feeling that they're good too!

Really happy Mirak opened up right near my home after this location seemed to have trouble ever retaining anybody for 4+ years! So wife and I walked over for dinner recently. Interior is nice and spacious, and the sushi we ordered were average to good. Owner served us some lightly torched salmon as service (a Korean restaurant thing... we call these freebies "service") which actually tasted the best among all 3 rolls we got! Hot tea was filled often, and though messy, I did like the #10 Snow Mountain Special roll because it offered good ROI! Price wasn't as competitive I thought, but the location and inflation... what can we say. Being a Korean-owned sushi restaurant, they have some interesting Korean combos, but I was pretty surprised at the steep price- Bulgogi hotpot and Small octopus pork belly stir-fry at $45?!? Then again, some (Mackerel & Bean paste soup - $20) seemed more reasonable so maybe those $$$ items have extra bells & whistles... won't know until I order them. I'd love to come back to try out their lunch specials because I often work from home. From some pics, it seems like while they're also expensive, they offer good quantity. All in all, very happy to see a nice Korean/Japanese addition in C-park. We will be back for lunch specials & K-fare next!

Food was excellent and service very professional and fast! The space was also perfect and the ambiance was great!

Oh my goodness! This is the best sushi place in the neighborhood! I had the two regular rolls special (Boston rolls and eel with avocado) with Miso Soup and it was so good! The rolls were surprisingly big. They filled the Boston roll with big pieces of shrimp and the mayo sauce on top was divine! My second roll has big pieces of avocado and eel and it was just delightful. The only complaint would be that there was any tofu in the miso which usually comes with it in other places. But the soup was still flavorful and washed everything down beautifully!

Food was fresh and service was amazing. Highly recommend if you're in the Fort Lee area!

Ordered takeout from here. Such a good new local spot!! The fish was so fresh and everything was delicious! I had to wait longer than expected to pick up the order and they gave a couple miso soups and salads on the side. The staff is so nice and pleasant. Will definitely be ordering from here again!!

Sushi is fresh. Love this Place! Highly Recommend coming. Staff is very friendly. fire roll is my favorite thing to get.

My to go sushi spot. Sushi is great quality, service is always great, and they always throw in something extra free of charge.

I ordered bimbimbap with sushi. The sushi was excellent. Korean food (including the banchan) was not the best I've had but was good enough. Service was great. I will be back (for sushi)!

Drove in from Staten Island to see a friend and what a great place. Good crowd of folks, attentive staff. I had the chirashi as an entree, edamame and Kani as an appetizer. The fish on the chriashi was fresh and appropriately portioned. I regret that I didn't take any pictures bc I was very hungry and dove right in.

Great rolls, great deals and great service. Nice intimate place. Not fancy but very comfortable. Love it!

It's pricier than other sushi spots I order take out from, but it's definitely better quality sashimi and sushi.

Soy garlic pork was lovely; texture wasn't the softest but the flavor made up for it. The dish came with soup and rice along with ban Chan. I've definitely had better soybean paste soup but the banchan wasn't too bad. I may go back again just because of its proximity to my place and the east low key atmosphere

We came around dinner time on a Sunday and we were sat immediately; however, the food did not come out for more than an hour. The older Korean couple that sat and ordered after us got their food first. I find it strange that they don't go in order.

Great food + great service. My husband and I went for lunch yesterday. He ordered the 2 special roll lunch combo and I ordered 1 regular roll with 4pcs sushi. Everything was fresh and tasty. The special rolls were huge! All servers were exceptionally friendly and on top of all our needs. I highly recommend this place.

Amazing bang for your buck sushi spot. The lunch specials come with salad, udon, and tempura. I'll be coming back every time I'm craving sushi in the area. Don't sleep on their banchan either!
