Ai sushi

Husband and I occasionally emerge out of our family bubble to go on dates without the kids. This time we decided to drop some serious dough and try a local omakase for our anniversary. AI sushi was recommended by friends for being unassuming but also very delicious. Walking into a dentist-like office, hidden in the very back corner, it was unassuming indeed. Almost like a sushi speakeasy. Wasn't sure what to expect at all but took a seat at the bar. Started off with miso and ginger salad, and then a standard plate of trio-colored sashimi. Definite improvement over the fish we get for our weekly poke. Then we each had a place set between us and the chef, where he would place the finished bite in front of us. Over the course of an hour, there was a dozen plus bites of pure amazingness. I'

Very good food! Got the sushi and sashimi for two. One soft shell crab and my most favorite the unagi don

I went for lunch on Saturday, December 6th, just after 1 PM. I absolutely love this sushi restaurant! I adore the sushi here. The balance of the shari (rice portion) and the thickness of the neta (fish/topping) is perfect. The flavor is also spot on. I truly love everything about the sushi here. Also, the saba (mackerel) was outstanding!

Omakase is just beautiful. You cannot eat this kinds of fish anywhere in NJ. They are meticulously prepared and chef’s experience and skill are written all over! If you want the quality food, close your eyes for the establishment decor. It is unimportant. You will be there for the quality food!

Celebrating my anniversary with the first experience with omakase style. I really excited tasting the different kind of fish+parts the chef prepared. Loved the environment sharing stories with other dinning there. The fish is very fresh and handpicked by the chef. According to a couple sitting next to us, this is the best Japanese restaurant in NJ according to their Japanese friends. I would highly recommend too.
