★★★★★ 5.0 Paraskevi · Dec 2025

The place was packed on a Friday evening, and our food was served hot and fast! My friends and I enjoyed a variety of sushi rolls, appetizers, and desserts. Everything was fresh and delicious. Our server was very kind as well. I would recommend this place to any sushi lover. This is my favorite AYCE sushi spot in the Rutgers area ;)

I only recently discovered this all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant, and I’m honestly upset I didn’t find it sooner—but also beyond excited that I have now. I’ve been bringing all of my friends and family here whenever I get the chance. This place is nothing like a typical AYCE sushi spot. It’s very tech-forward, with your own iPad to order food and even call a server when needed. The food is phenomenal!! In addition to sushi, they offer noodles, ramen, and several other great options. The interior is dark and moody, which sets a great atmosphere, and they even have a robot delivering food, which adds a fun and unique touch. As we were leaving, I decided to buy a T-shirt to support the business. Jaden, who was working at the front, went above and beyond in a way you rarely experience anymo

Amazing all you can eat sushi. A little pricey tho on the weekends and there’s definitely a wait for tables if you have a group of 4 or more. We checked in on the app and were notified our table was ready but still waited 20 mins to get seated. Server was great, and so was the food. Once we placed our order everything came in a timely manner.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ken Jiang · Jan 2026

Super clean with a moody upscale atmosphere. Service was excellent and were very attentive but not overbearing. They are not stingy with the fish to rice proportions, didn’t feel as if they are trying stuff you with rice, which was very appreciated. Everything was incredibly fresh especially the tuna. Highly recommend as a local spot.

★★★★★ 5.0 Saaketh · Dec 2025

TLDR: Affordable, quality AYCE sushi + Japanese food. Food was surprisingly quite good, no reservations on Saturdays but was easy enough finding a table for 7 with not much wait. 90 minutes to eat as much as you want across 3 rounds (make sure you leave little to no leftovers). Honestly, the deal is insane - desserts were also quite good. Chill ambiance and very solid service as well, def check out!
