Im glad this place was open, I had family in town looking for sushi all over Ironbound and all sushi spots in Ironbound, were closed on Monday. 😩 I’m glad this was just over the bridge and the sushi was delicious! They were quick to prepare the food, unfortunately the Harrison parking enforcement was a little quicker, I forgot to pay for parking and I received a ticket within 5 minutes of parking 😑 however in the end it was somewhat worth it, because this restaurant didn’t disappoint! Be prepared to look and pay for parking when visiting this space.
A refreshing experience after having awful experiences at a different restaurants down the street. Beef sliders was 90% good with one section that was not that chewy so it required thin slices with the knife. Sandra the server/bartender was very nice and thoughtful throughout.
Terrible Experience - Avoid at All Costs! My first indication to exit the restaurant was that there was no one in the restaurant, including the restaurant staff that did not eat the food. I have visited this restaurant before in the past and figured I might give it a try again for Friday night. What a mistake! The food was simply disgusting. The smell emanating from my plate was something I had never encountered before. It was nauseating and off-putting, I immediately lost my appetite. To make matters worse, there was a slimy substance oozing from the side of the sushi. It was absolutely repulsive. When the host asked me if everything was okay, I couldn't hold back my disappointment. I told her that the food looked and smelled disgusting. Instead of addressing the issue, she had the audacity to ask me if I had ever eaten sushi before. I took a deep breath, trying to maintain my composure, and replied that the smell alone was enough to make me lose my appetite. Her response was dismissive and unprofessional, implying that I should have tried the food before judging it. Needless to say, we paid for the food and left immediately. This place is a complete disaster and needs to be shut down. I strongly advise against wasting your time and money here. There are far better sushi restaurants in town that actually value their customers and serve quality food. Unfit for human consumption. ---
We went in for my husband’s birthday on a Sunday when it wasn’t too busy and we really enjoyed our quiet dinner. We didn’t get to try the sushi nonetheless our steak dinner was delicious. Our severer was friendly and very patient with us explaining the menu to us as it was our first time there. Definitely would be returning!!!
The food was good the first time I went there. And the staff was good as well as the music. I sat outside had a wonderful time. However, I go back about 3 weeks later and I take five friends and it's a 360-degree difference. The wait staff was awful, the service, and the sangria. We had the blue sangria first to try it and it tastes a little bit too strong but it had 3 pieces of fruit and a lot of ice. I asked for another sangria later because the food was still good and it's pictured here. But the red sangria was ordered and brought out and was totally awful! It tastes like a juice out of 7-Eleven. The bartender did try to make up for it by offering us bottom shelf shots. Try it, maybe your opinion will be different from mine and maybe your service too. I don't know if I'll be back ever return.
