Shumi Japanese Cuisine

I went here for my birthday a couple days ago and was really hoping to love it. Me and my boyfriend each got the $140 omakase, but they were having a great BOGO deal so it was only $70/each! Ambiance: The restaurant was very modern and cute. We sat at the bar and expected to have an interactive omakase. Food: I thought the food itself was super yummy. The sushi sizes were quite small, but I enjoyed every bite. Service: This is what fell short for me. As someone who loves omakase and has been to many, I really expected more. (1) The pacing of the omakase itself was way too slow and the service felt confused. The female server was very nice and friendly, but everyone else was kinda mehhh. (2) At the end of our meal, no one told us it was over. Usually, an omakase finishes with a sweet course

Had a reservation at 7:30 pm, me and my guest ordered the 95$ omakase option and by 9:00pm we had only gotten through the 4 first pieces. While the food itself is decent and the presentation is nice, the management here is insanely terrible and even though they were very busy on valentines day, there is no excuse to why it has been 3 hours and we have not gotten our food yet. The food in of itself had some decent flavor combos but it was extremely mediocre and most definitely not worth 95$. There is little to no organization here and i hope they can eventually work through it but as of now i do not recommend this dining experience.

New favorite sushi spot in NJ! Incredible food and quality of fish, lovely service, and a bright and welcoming atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back to try the omakase!

An above-average traditional omakase experience, but the food quality at times leaves a bit to be desired. We came here for my mother's birthday, and were greeted with excellent service and welcoming atmosphere. They started us off with two appetizers, a miso soup and steamed egg bowl. Both of these were misses, to be honest. The half-cooked sushi in the soup left me with a weird contrast of flavors, and the addition of roe and raw fish in the steamed egg gave an oddly fishy taste to the dish. Afterwards, came the sushi - which was all pleasantly surprising. All the ingredients were imported directly from Japan, so you could really taste the distinct Japanese flavors come out with every piece. Some standouts include - the eel, A5 wagyu, fried shrimp, toro, and maki. I would've liked a bit

Intro to omakase was wonderful. Well worth the price. Going to go back soon for the full experience.
