Arigato

The sushi bar shows up on local weekend lists more than once. It’s a compact spot a few blocks off the river, the kind of place you return to when you want the menu to feel familiar and fast. In a town where people walk in and out without hesitation, it holds its own as a dependable stop for plates of fish and rice. Expect familiar staples that travel well and a few sharable surprises.

You’ll find the place tucked between a laundromat and a cash-advance office in Edgewater, exactly where River Road dips toward the waterfront. The full address reads 1034 River Rd, Edgewater, NJ 07020 if you’re gliding past on the Post Road loop.

When you need a meal that can pivot from quick lunch to late-night bite, they keep the kitchen open. A handful of lunch and dinner plates slide across the counter daily, while a separate menu of small plates waits for the slower hours. They’ll also set aside platters for your next gathering, whether it’s a midweek office lunch or an evening family spread—just make a quick call ahead.
