Bruna S.

Banzai sushi is one of the places that is been there for a while and even with all the others sushi places around, they maintain the quality and price, I usually order delivery but I go there sometimes and the ambience is super comfortable, they made everything "in front of you" service is good and the sushi is really tasty. The prices are also good compared to other places.. if you like good sushi just try it

Midnight Munchies Delight! scrolling through Grubhub at 10 PM, battling my inner foodie demons expecting every spot to be closed already. Sushi and fried rice? Let's do it The sushi arrived looking like it had just rolled out of bed--kinda like me--but one bite and I was in a seaweed-wrapped dream. The fish was still fresh (which I hadn't expected it to be so late at night if we're being honest), The fried rice? Was fried right! Not like the Chinese takeout spots where the rice is just yellow and not really fried at all. This made me wonder why I don't order Asian cuisine in the dead of night more often.

We went to Banzai Sushi and the service was really disappointing. Our server didn't seem to know the menu well. We ordered ramen to share, but she didn't give us an extra spoon or fork. The sashimi platter was served without soy sauce, and we had to ask for it. The gyoza, which was supposed to be an appetizer, came out way too late, after we finish the ramen and sashimi that were already on the table. On top of that, the server was rude; she even walked away while we were still talking to her. We had to call her over multiple times just to get basic things. The food itself was great, but the service completely ruined the experience. - 9/08/2025 around 6pm onwards.

Yakisoba noodles
Zandra A.

Had a combo sushi plate the dancing girl shrimp, shrimp tempura and two sushi shrimps. We had the ramen miso soup very tasty. And the yakisoba noodles. Everything was really good, the noodles could've been a little hotter (heat). Lee was super attentive and friendly

I really wanted some good ol ramen, so I went to this spot. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into a cute restaurant and sat at a booth. I was served by Lee and she was nice! I started with the shrimp shumai, and that dish was very good! I then had the chicken ramen with the spicy miso, and it was also very good! For my last dish, I got the Teriyaki special that had grilled chicken thigh and shrimp with fried right. The dish was good. The rice needed a tad but more salt, though. I did have a good experience all in all!

Sushi Boat

Guys, this place is a must go! I'm literally drooling thinking about it again! All of the sashimi pieces were fresh, no fishy odor or taste and the spicy tuna roll was just okay in comparison, but you can't really mess that up. I LOVED that little salad and those noodles, literally oozed umami flavor. You have to go for the fresh sushi and noods! Also this wasn't very expensive, if I recall correctly that boat was around $25 and the noodles were around $7. I just drank water too. Perfect ending to a pool day!

Shoyu ramen with pork
Stacey H.

Loved their miso soup and their sushi was fresh and delicious. They had a variety of rolls available. The steak was a bit overcooked for me on the hibachi but still was tasty. I liked the ramen broth. Would definitely come back.

$19 for this
Michelle J.

I've ordered from this place serval times and usually have a good experience. Tonight I order teriyaki meals for my family. For almost $30 I received the smallest portion I've ever seen plus no miso soup. The rest of of family are their order and are so hungry due to the snack portion. The Ramen is great and the sushi is good but stay away from the teriyaki

Shrimp Shumai
Tee G.

Thoroughly satisfied with our meal. The locale is a hole in the wall with very limited parking and tables but the service and the food was delicious! The food was fresh and tasty. We will definitely return.

Miso soup was delicious. It's almost more cost effective to get rolls instead of specialized ones. The sushi tasted fresh.

Go Go Curry prides itself in its Kanazawa-style curry, which differs from your typical Japanese curry because of the addition of molasses. The pork katsu cutlet was breaded and fried perfectly, the pork itself was juicy and tender, and the sauce is to die for! It was rich, aromatic, and had a wonderful consistency that coated each piece of katsu. Joy, the restaurant owner, was so incredibly nice. We talked a bit after I ate and you could tell each order was made with love! The decor was awesome, with wall paintings of their gorilla mascot and Yugioh playing on their TV screen. I would absolutely come back to NJ to try this curry again! Thank you, Joy!

The town it self was having some pavement work being done and it was difficult to find parking. I was driving away when I eventually found a spot and walked about 6 minutes to the location. As I got there I could see that the restaurant was full and lively. The hostess was friendly and communicated our wait well. It did look like that they were struggling a bit with tables staying longer than they expected which caused a few reservations to be backed up while we were the walkins. I do recommend getting reservations here. I/we ordered a ramen, the cola wings, and the detroit style pizza. They were nice enough to separate the single serving of ramen into two bowls which was really nice of them. The Ramen was good but a bit salty. The cola wings were alright I wouldn't say they were the best I ever had. As for the pizza it was good, however when comparing with similar offerings in the area, Buckys in Chatam, NJ is superior for Detroit style. While, the this particular place did not meet MY standards I would still recommend as a nice date spot!
