Looks like this place has not really gotten used to the idea that people dine out post-pandemic. The wife used the restroom, and that almost caused her to want to leave. A filthy restroom is not normally a sign of good eats... But the other reviewers said get past it, so we did. We were seated quickly. Mostly because we were the only ones there, and the server was friendly and attentive. We ordered a bottle of Gekkeikan Sake, which was priced well, and had some Karaage to start. The sake was delicious, but not so the Karaage. I'm not sure what part of the chicken it came from, but it wasn't the meat part. Ass skin I'm guessing. Served with something akin to oyster sauce for some reason. We also had a couple of rolls, which wasn't easy. There were over 50 to choose from. But really, just dozen or so ingredients served 50 different ways. We ordered the J-G Roll (Lobster tempura with avocado inside, all tuna on top with caviar). Not sure it was lobster... texture was more like shrimp. And more of their signature oyster sauce on top to overload the sweetness factor. Also had the Nikki-Yuki Roll (Spicy salmon inside, tuna, salmon and avocado on top with caviar), which was nice. Not special, but nice. Still, the fish on both rolls really lacked the appropriate taste and character. It was more reminiscent of fast food/chain sushi. Now, on the upside... we didn't get sick, so that was good (extra star for no food poisoning)... but we probably won't be back soon.

Food: I ordered their 'treasure chest' or something as an appetizer first. It was an okay dish,…read moredidn't seem as fresh as I would have preferred which made me a little hesitant with my entree order. I ordered their sashimi deluxe which where the fish was of similar quality as my appetizer. The white fish that came with the dish as one of the 'chef chosen' fish was a bit of a disappointment- it felt like it was recently de-thawed and had that fiber-like texture that a fresh fish wouldn't have. The other cuts were okay but it did not settle well with me. I think the best part of the meal was dessert where I ordered the fried ice cream. Now that was absolutely delicious and I would come back specifically for that! Cost: Cost was actually pretty decent. It was not a cheap place but it was not what I would consider an expensive place either. Environment: Place inside was a little dull. The inside can be a little brighter but overall, place seemed to be kept clean and the bathroom was clean as well. Service: Everything that was ordered came out pretty fast. I don't know if that was because there wasn't a lot of customers in the restaurant when I was there with a party of 6 but I had no issues with waiting. Uniqueness: The fried ice cream was the best part here in my opinion! Definitely try out the green tea deep fried ice cream- it was a very big serving and fried well (didn't feel too greasy/that old oil was use/etc.)

Seafood boil is good too. I always end my meal there with hotpot ‍ ambiance is nice and I love how they celebrate birthdays there with the sign and birthday music

Our party was perfectly happy to pay the 12% service fee automatically added to our bill,…read moreespecially given the note stating that additional tipping was not expected. However, our server explicitly pressured us to leave an additional tip. When we initially declined based on your stated policy, her demeanor changed significantly, and she made our family feel highly uncomfortable until an additional tip was provided. ​When a restaurant implements a service fee and communicates that further tipping is unnecessary, guests trust that policy. Being pressured to pay on top of that fee creates a stressful environment and contradicts your business model. If additional tipping is actually expected, it would be much clearer to remove the mandatory fee and leave gratuity entirely to the guest's discretion. ​We enjoyed the food, but the behavior of the staff at the end of the night left a very poor impression. I hope this feedback helps ensure greater consistency in how your tipping policy is handled moving forward.

Dishes were never cleared. No tipping expected after the 12% service charge fee was added. Interesting. Senior discount not applied. $28 lunch. I left wondering if the dinner menu is different. English not spoken here or everyone is goofing and pretending. The hot pot broth is a mystery. No utensils were provided to cook with the hot pot. It's like they want you to put the the food in and don't take it out to eat.If you are food sensitive you are out of luck. I liked the BBQ probably because of MSG that I don't use at home. Service was non existent I had to use the nearby table for our used plates. You don't get the occasional, how is everything question, I assume no tips equals no table service. I got a kick out of when I asked for something I got blank looks. If servers don't speak I'd appreciate English labels, or a sheet of paper for the challenged.

The sashimi presentation is also a miss, served in small individual aluminum containers instead of laid out on a shared platter. It feels inefficient and less appetizing than grabbing fresh cuts with tongs. That said, the Chinese food side is actually solid. The BBQ squid stands out as one of the better items, while the ribs were disappointing, too fatty and drenched in sauce. I skipped the hot pot since the meats in the fridge didn't look particularly fresh or appealing. Compared to other locations, the East Brunswick spot seems to do a better job with both quality and keeping the sushi stocked. Drinks are another weak point. The bubble teas are overly sweet and not very good, though kids will probably enjoy them. I'd come back for some of the Chinese dishes and a few sushi pieces, but overall it feels overpriced for what you get.

The building is riddled with things speaking about the 12% service tip, telling you not to tip extra as every order's 12% service charge gets pooled in with all the servers. My server told me the service charge doesn't go to her and practically coerced me and my girlfriend into tipping her. The second I put the tip in the tab, she snatched it and instantly pocketed it, and watched me basically telling me to leave the buffet early, I was in there for only an hour and 20 minutes.
