Food is pretty good, especially the sashimi. And we go about once every week or two, probably fewer times going forward as weve moved to Old Bridge. But I had to respond to James Ehrig - what kind of person goes out to a restaurant with just enough money to pay for the meal?! So you werent planning to tip no matter how the service was? You should just stay home! And no, I dont work for the restaurant. You should be embarrassed to even register a complaint about being asked for a tip. They gave you the benefit of the doubt - figuring you just forgot to put the tip down. But no, youre such a buffoon and should just go to McDonalds or Burger King.

Id give it 5 stars but they ASKED FOR TIP. I highly did not appreciate it. It should be up to the customer on whether or not they want to tip. They gave me a look as if they were upset and disappointed with me. I only had just enough to pay for the meal. The worker that served us was playing a game on their phone and I had to get up and ask them for another sushi order sheet since we had the all you can eat option. It made me feel so u comfortable that they had asked. Food is amazing. But make you sure you have tip when you go there unless you want them to make you feel guilty for not tipping...

Sushi quality was very good. We went on a Sunday morning and the place was not packed so it was easy to get a table. Food came out within a reasonable amount of time. Service is OK but the food more than makes up for it. Theres a variety of rolls and dishes; the sushi buffet is the best value as you can get all you can eat for about $20. There is a caveat that you must finish everything otherwise there will be a surcharge so make sure you order what you can eat.

The rolls sometimes are an hit or an miss...they are mostly warm and they fall apart because they dont use the proper rice that youre supposed to use for sushi....Ive had way better sushi this is like express all you can eat...if ya want great sushi ya gonna pay simple as that...the rolls should be tight and neatly placed on the platter no they are sloppy and they sometimes arent as great some of the time they are sometimes theyre not

First time ordered, great food. Second time attempted to order, refused service because I didnt get off work until 9:45, and attempted to place an order at 9:48 and was told "We close soon". As someone who used to deliver for years, I always looked forward to last minute deliveries, because they tend to tip more, since it is inconvenient to order 15 minutes prior to closing.

Excellent fresh sushi. Lots of filling (fish and veggie) without a bunch of rice meant to fill you up. All you can eat menu is extensive and tasty. Hell Boy, Pain in the Ass, and Banzi are excellent sushi rolls. Also try beef satay and wonton soup. Staff is very friendly a d accommodating. Always busy in weekends but you can call ahead to hold a seat.

Usually pretty spectacular but every once in a while youll get something amiss. Eating in is a better experience than takeout, food is 99% fresh and they are very accommodating. Sometimes service is slower depending on how busy, they usually only have 2 working the front. Otherwise, we love this place, been coming for years.

I have been a customer of this restaurant for years, but recent changes in staff have changed the quality of the food, and the experience. After two incidents with rude waiters I cannot justify returning to this place. There are many other options in the area - this place has become substandard.

Some of the best sushi I have had.. I am all about quality. They have great service as well. They also have all you can eat which is a great but make sure you eat what you order. They dont like to waste and you will get charged for each piece you dont eat

Food is good. Service is the worst. Waiters and waitresses are very disrespectful and watch you very closely as you eat and point out whatever ur doing wrong with ur food.

One of the better tasting pizza in the area. The pizzeria itself has an old school pizzeria feel to it. The pizza is great and the Monday pie special is the best in town.

Everything is always super fresh & well prepared. The green tea is so good! Very accommodating to special requests. The hostess is always very nice & remembers you.

Not fresh is an understatement. Shrimp quality = defrosted soggy shrimp. Hair in the food. Felt sick after eating just a bit. Low quality Chinese

Best sushi in the area. All you can eat option is amazing. There are also plenty of kitchen chinese food options for those not into raw fish.

Not too friendly staff, one was actually sleeping on the bar stool. Panang Curry Chicken is bland, no kick to it.

The food is good. I felt like the service was a bit off. I didnt think the server was that interested in her job.
