Still fresh and luscious. So many patrons go for the pan-Asian dishes like General Tso's chicken, but the sushi rolls are top-rate. I love the goofy roll, Sakura roll, and birthday roll here, but the important thing is that the fish is fresh and delectable. Every roll is a treat. It's always bustling from 6-9p on Fridays, but a party of 2 can typically find a table. The dining room can seat perhaps 30 people. read more

Totally recommend. Food is great and consistent. Never had a bad meal there. I usually get sautéed veggies with tofu (yes I know tofu but it's good). Their vegetable soup is awesome as is their spring rolls/. My boyfriend loves the volcano roll and tries different things and he has liked it all. It Delivery is usually quicker than stated and when eating at the restaurant service is great and everyone is friendly. It's our go to for Asian cuisine. read more

Came here for dinner with some friends and got the love boat as well as two other rolls. The rolls were not bad but the sashimis weren't that good. The tuna was way too fishy and the other fish were pretty mid. The salmon was probably the best cut and the yellowtail probably second. The scallion pancake was just okay taste like frozen version. The service was really good and they were all super nice. Service definitely 5/5, food maybe not so much. read more

Came here yesterday because we wanted to try a new sushi spot. This has been the most impressive spot in the area yet. Food: my wife and I started with a really delectable smoked salmon sushi. We treated ourselves to a spring roll appetizer which came out really hot, but tasted really good with a Thai chili sauce. I got the Goofy roll, which I thought is probably one of my favorite roles in the area, and the salmon avocado roll. The salmon really stood out to me is being really fresh. My wife got a kiss of fire roll, which was a nice, enjoyable specialty. Service: I do not know our gentleman's name that helped us, but he was on top of everything and super nice from the moment we walked in. I can think of only two or three sushi restaurants I've been to with service like this. Ambiance: it has a deceivingly high number of seats for the small location. I did not get to check out any other part. read more

My favorite sushi place in the area! So fresh, so affordable, great portions and varieties. Lovely service. Couldn't recommend more! PS: their avocado bomb is incredible! read more

Such an amazing place with great food! Ended up here on new year's eve after we tried to go to Miga and it was packed, and thank god we came here! The atmosphere is great, the service is amazing and the food is top notch! Highly recommend getting the forget me not roll and scallion pancake. Will definitely be back! read more

Great local Japanese spot, BYOB. Stanley, our waiter, was so hospitable, even on a busy night! Really loved the gyoza. I ordered the beef teriyaki bento box, everything was so fresh. The beef teriyaki was perfectly cooked, medium rare, tender and great. The ginger salad was so zesty. Hope to come back soon! read more

Came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and had a great experience! The server was super friendly and helpful and the food came out quick with great portions! The food itself was great! I've had some recent experiences with some other local places that didn't season their rice enough so the sushi was tasteless but didn't have that issue here! Also the server overheard it was recently my birthday from my friends and added a candle to our dessert without having to be prompted by anyone in my group! Overall had a great experience and the food was great and excited to make this place a regular for my sushi fix! read more

We have been regular customers since opening day. Always loved it, as a matter of fact I gave a 5 star review some time ago. Unfortunately food has been going downhill from what it once was. Very disappointing. Not sure if it's new ownership, cooks or both. "Vegetable" Lo Mein was just mushy noodles. read more

To-date, my favourite place in the area had been Denville's Miga Sushi - but that has recently changed when a group of my work buddies discovered Ai-Sakae as our next "team lunch-out" destination. I've not seen a wider selection of Vegetarian sushis than here (try their Green Tree Roll with Kiwi topping and you'll know what I mean...) - and I've never felt not hungry few hours after having had sushi for lunch (blame my fast metabolism), as the portions are reasonably big. Wide selection of rolls that will satisfy any raw seafood (or exclusively veggies...in a roll...) fan, unexpectedly big pieces of sushi. Their Miso is fantastic - not luke warm like in some other places, and feels freshhhh... salad is unconventionally good, too, as they seem to add a variety of greens in it - which isn't typical to a side salad typically served alongside sushi lunch specials. Only been here during lunch, but always had super quick and pleasant service. Sufficient parking in front, since it's in a plaza. One not to miss! read more

My coworker and I ordered from them for lunch today. They delivered the food really fast. We honestly didn't wait that long after calling. I loved the pork gyozas. It was both crispy and soft. The shrimp cucumber rolls were good. But I should've gotten more honestly. I'll be happy to try them again in the future & visit in person. read more

I visited Ai-Sakae with a friend for dinner on a weeknight after confirming that the restaurant can do gluten-free rolls. They have gluten-free sauce available, which is always a plus! As for the rolls, I enjoyed all of my order minus the seaweed salad roll. I thought it could have been fresher or maybe it just doesn't work well as a roll. The service was excellent from start to finish, we felt attended to. The seating is a bit close, but it wasn't bad at all during our visit. I noticed that other diners had more complex orders than we did, but the plating looked beautiful. This is a perfect spot for a date night or dining with friends when you want to kick back. read more

We have been patrons of AiSakae for over a year- sometimes we do takeout twice a week. We loved the place and have recommended so many of our friends. Today we were charged for extra ginger and spicy mayonnaise- a condiment which does not make sense. When we asked to take it off we were told no. This upset us that for very frequent customers they would charge us for a condiment. We won't be going back. read more

Our weekly trip to Ai-Sakae included trying the special "Christmas Roll". It was fresh and delicious! Our waiter- Stanley- is always so accommodating and kind! Highly recommend, 10/10 read more

Ai-Sakae - Christmas Roll! Sooo yummy! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Morris Plains, New Jersey

A solid Asian restaurant with plenty of options of different cuisines if you're undecided. They cater to mainly Japanese/Chinese dishes on the menu. In terms of taste, I would say my particular go-to dish of eggplant was a little more on the sweet side so I didn't really take to it. Also the agedashi tofu didn't have the crunchy outside texture/shape we are accustomed to.. it was kinda strange it was cut in rectangular shapes since it's usually cube shape which distributes the texture to the palate better. However, the ginger sauce of the green salad appetizer and sweet potato roll was on point! Overall, they are thoughtful attending to your requests about your dishes, additional condiments, and about other seating preferences. I would say the service is STELLAR. I came here on a whim on weekday night and people trickled in steadily, and it was clear many people were regulars. Understandable because of how well they treat their customers. read more

We ordered dinner tonight from Ai-Sakae in Morris Plains for delivery. They sent 2 of the wrong rolls. When we called them they said it was their mistake. The person that answered the phone personally delivered the correct rolls. They let even let us keep the wrong rolls (which actually were very good). read more

Tonight is the third or fourth time we've gotten take out from Ai-Sakae and it's the first time they've swamped and behind on pickup orders. Normally, I don't care if I have to wait as I'll just leave the house later, but I didn't know before I left. Clearly they were shorthanded tonight. The first few times we got food here (the first time was the first week they were open) we've gotten sushi and Thai and the food was excellent. Sushi tasted great, rolls were good sized for the price, and the Thai food was very tasty, though not as spicy as I'm used to. Tonight we ordered Pad Thai with chicken, Red Curry with chicken, a Teriyaki Chicken Bento Box and a Kani salad. The meals were excellent as usual, the portions were large, and the prices are comparable to similar restaurants in the area. Had this been my first time here I probably would have taken a star away, but I know tonight was an anomaly. Honestly, I wish the inside was a bit bigger because we'd come eat here in person. The decor is great and the staff is very friendly, but there's not a ton of room. Tonight's little glitch won't keep me away...the food is too good to stay away read more

PROS: - good quality food - lots of food options from appetizers to Thai, other cooked dishes - great assortment of rolls and new rolls I've never seen before - great specials - good dessert options - fast friendly service CONS: - small space Came here on a whim bc our regular sushi place was closed until dinner. Reviews here are accurate! The food is pretty good and reliable. The staff is so friendly and our food came out really fast. The crispy eggplant is 10/10! Their soup broths/base is sooo delicious, def one of the best I've ever had! I loved that they had more than one dessert option and I've never seen tempura cheese cake. They also have bubble tea and other teas. I highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

The moment we sat down, I knew this was one of those sushi spots with lots of regulars. The servers seemed to know a lot of the tables that were seated and made us feel very welcome as well. The quality of the fish was unreal. I had the Kiss of Fire roll and we also shared smoked salmon sushi and spring rolls as an appetizer. Now I can't wait to be a new regular for them! read more

Great sushi and lots of options to choose from on the menu!we order from here frequently

Nice Chinese spot in the area. It's hard to find real Asian cuisine here as many serve the American-Chinese items. The place is nice and clean, well decorated and has great service. The servers are prompt and very accommodating. Lots of great options to select from. We tried a variety of stuff. The sushi pizza is amazing! Scallion pancakes were so good and crispy. Sushi was fresh. Kung pao chicken was good but we had eaten so much we had it to go. It was even better as a leftover. read more

Interesting local eatery. Actually I was surprised to find it here in Denville but pleasantly so. The food was utterly delicious, fish was fresh and very very tasty. The service was top notch. My daughter who is very picky about her sushi dishes inhaled them, which is a testament in and of itself. The ambiance is very simple since the place is basically like a hole in the wall but very tasteful and clean. read more

Unassuming sushi spot in a strip mall with delicious, delicious sushi... much better than expected. I was traveling for work and looking for a bite outside of my hotel: this place hit the spot. I enjoyed the forget me not roll and Philadelphia roll, very fresh. Miso soup came for free. Quick & attentive service, also pretty quiet inside which lent to a peaceful atmosphere. read more

Nestled in this tiny strip plaza in sleepy Denville is this authentic Asian cuisine. We've gotten delivery from here before and it was quite good.

The former owners of a spot in Cedar Knolls. I am so happy I was able to find them. Their sushi is super fresh and just like their old spot used to be. Their lunch specials - 3 rolls - hits the spot and is perfectly priced. I am boring when I order sushi - so spicy tuna (very fresh and a nice kick) and shrimp tempura ( lightly fried and fresh as well) always hit the spot. Lunch comes with soup or salad. All for around 13-15 buck. And they deliver within a 5 mile radius (just within the limits of where I work). They are officially on our rotation of lunch spots. PS - I didn't pick up nor eat in but I hear it's super clean and the staff is very friendly. ENJOY! read more

Relatively new restaurant in Parsippany. Opened late November 2021. Wonderful new addition to the town. Arrived with a group of friends and were warmly welcomed and seated by our server, Stanley. A shout out to Manager, Lynnsie, was also extremely accommodating during our visit. The venue is small,but immaculately clean, cozy, casual (but somewhat semi elegant), comfortable, well lighted and thoughtfully decorated. Ai Sakae is a BYOB, offers take out, dine in, delivery, catering, and can accommodate special dietary requests. There is plenty of off street parking, as it is situated in a small strip mall off Tabor Road. The menu, which is extensive, is an interesting mixed bag of diverse Japanese, Chinese, and Thai cuisine. It is not just a Sushi restaurant, but the Chef/Owner, Ken, serves artfully crafted and mouth watering Sushi/Sashimi selections. Everything our group ordered met or exceeded our expectations. Clearly, everything (especially the fish) was very fresh and carefully prepared and presented. Definitely a place to try when you have a yen for Asian cuisine. I believe the attached food photos speak for themselves. I would highly recommend giving Ai Sakae a try. read more

Such a great place for sushi. Everything tastes so fresh and always good quality. The apps are delicious (spring rolls, soup, edamame, etc.) the sushi is really fresh. And the best part is there are so many options other than sushi, Chinese dishes, Thai dishes, so many options. Lastly, the staff is SO friendly whether I pick up quickly or we eat in. read more

I finally found my Goldilocks of Asian food in Morris county. My husband usually wants Chinese where I lean more towards Japanese/sushi but this place literally has it all. I got a salmon bento box (ton of food for $20) , delicious. My sweet potato roll was also great. My husband got the traditional egg roll (I've never seen an egg roll presented so elegantly) fried rice and the ridgedale roll which he enjoyed. Extremely reasonably priced, definitely trying more of the menu. Plus, they have my absolute favorite, strawberry bubble tea!!! read more

Who wants sushi?! I do! A nice, clean, friendly spot that offers lunch specials. The sushi is freshly made by the chefs to order. I ordered the three roll lunch special which comes with a soup or salad for $14.50. I opted for the scallion yellow tail, spicy salmon and spicy tuna. It's was delicious. My wife ordered the teriyaki chicken with fried rice. It was also tasty. The staff is super friendly and they bang out your order in about 10 minutes. There is a nice dining room for a luncheon or dinner. We will definitely be back for some mouth watering sushi and Asian cuisine. read more
