Emma, my server, I dined alone, was the highlight of my experience at Honshu! What a professional! In addition, the food was first class all the way! Sitting along the outside windows on a dreary day was cool... It reminded me of Jimi's "Rainy Day, Dream Away" ... Let the Sun take a holiday"! read more

The definition of a corner neighborhood spot, with both indoor and outdoor seating to boot. Come before 7pm to take advantage of $6 Happy Hour rolls and apps, or splurge on the Honshu Roll if you want a rainbow roll with cool marbled seaweed. The kaarage is decent, but skip the weird fried cheese thing that sounds better on paper. Service is brisk but friendly, and the outdoor patio is dog friendly. read more

I was enjoying a device free day and evening with a long time friend. First time in JC in about 20 plus years. I really wanted Sushi and my friend had always spoiled me so he obliged. Great choice! This place wasn't even open yet when we got there and they sat us anyway. We got such fresh rolls and apps! I wish I had broke my rule to take pics but didn't want to ruin the mood. But I will be back and I will take pics next time! We had the shrimp tempura app, Shumai, Honshu roll, K roll and wish I could remember the name of the 3rd but it was super delish nonetheless! Service great. Very attentive and showed no signs of annoyance that they hadn't even set up fully for the evening. Highly recommend. read more

Dine-in takes an hour because they prioritize takeout--but don't order takeout either, because that's where they send the fish that's about to spoil. Avoid both. read more

Nice ambiance, with jazz music in the background and quiet place to enjoy a date night. The service was great and very attentive, all the items came quickly and regularly checking in. The signature tuna tartar was great, for sure coming back for that. The Jersey roll was good with not nonsense just fish and the fish in the sashimi tasted fresh and flavorful. read more

Just a walk away from our apartment, my bf and I went here on a date night craving sushi. Very dim lit restaurant with friendly staff, this place is a great option for an elevated sushi night out. ORDERED Sushi Sashimi for 2: this was AWESOME. As someone who is quite honestly an endless tank when it comes to sushi, this was FILLING. Kind of questioned whether or not wed be able to finish but i should never doubt myself - of course we did. Very worth the money and a common thing we heard about this place was that the fish was fresh and the answer is yes. Matcha Crème Bruelee: was it delicious? Yes it was. Would I order again? Probably not? The matcha made it on the bitter side which was a nice change but I think I would just have regular crème brûlée. read more

This has become one of my favorite sushi spots in Jersey City! I've been here about three times for dinner, and each time I come, the staff are friendly, and there is no wait for a table. The vibes are also nice; there are candles on the tables and the lighting is dim. Finally, the sushi is great; there's a lot of options to choose from, and the rolls always taste fresh. I've had the Montgomery Roll and Honshu Roll, and they're both delicious. read more

The sushi is good but if you order on a delivery app - beware!!!! I ordered at 7:20 and and it's 9:00 and I am still waiting on my food. Like no fresh sushi arrives two hours later... adding that the staff hung up on me multiple times after I inquired about what was taking so long. The restaurant blaming the "delivery partner" is a cop out. read more

I've been here several times for lunch and really enjoyed it each time. The restaurant has lots of nice, unique wood fixtures and an upscale ambiance, but the foot isn't terribly expensive. Service is prompt and the sushi is fresh and quite tasty. I've had the lunch special set a couple of times because of the variety of things that come with it. Miso soup, salad, dumplings edamame, sushi, a roll and fruit for dessert. It makes a very nice meal! read more

A lovely comfy dinner spot next to the riverfront/Exchange. We went for Saturday dinner, it wasn't too busy. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant has nice decor and ambience. The menu is decent, not overwhelming, bunch of appetizers, sushi rolls and few other entrees. Among appetizers, grilled calamari was good, jumbo scallops, miso soup and eggplant were excellent. The Tokyo roll was amazing, but Godzilla and Montgomery rolls were okay for me. My friend loves their tuna tar tar. The katsu don were nice fulfilling dish as well. Service is good. Food in prepared in a decent time. Sushi rolls are colorful and presented nicely. But for the price, it is not as extravagant as upscale Japanese restaurant. read more

Went here for lunch pickup. It was quick. However, since we called to order for pickup, they couldn't figure out how to split our check. My friend's miso soup was pretty sad looking since she only got half a miso soup. The rest of the food tasted good. Not bad for a quick pickup. read more

This was a great restaurant! Everything ordered on the menu was delicious. Fish was tender and seasoned just right. Fried octopus balls were crunchy. Sushi was fresh. Scallops were tender and sauce was delicious. Service was great and ambiance was nice. Although I visited here in the winter, the outdoor seating was still quite warm. This is a must try and the price was reasonable. read more

Food (2/5): Wow perhaps one of the worst sushi places I've had in a while. The rice is mushy and the ingredients did not taste fresh. The shrimp tempura roll had a funky flavor like something was rotten. We got the scallop roll, tuna avocado, salmon, and shrimp tempura. All were not good. Service (3/5): Ok service. They took our order fast and the sushi came out in approximately 10 minutes. They could've been more friendly. Ambiance (4/5): Only good part about this restaurant is the interior looks nice. There are nice decorations, spacious seating and a nice bar area. read more

This spot has great lunch specials especially since it's near my work and I only go during lunch so that works out I usually aim for sashimi which is what I got today & I loved it all. also starts with a miso soup which is tasty.

Decent sushi spot with reasonable prices. I would recommend the goyza and beef Negimaki. We also got the grilled calamari but I would probably pass on that. We had a bunch of sushi and it was all decently fresh. The spring bag roll was a little unique and would get that again. Service was a bit slower than expected (was there almost two hours) but could be a good thing depending on your plans after. All the times I've went we sat on the outside area but it's enclosed so it gives an indoor feel. read more

Quality/taste: I got the 5 set Temaki and shared the Honshu roll with my friends. Every piece tasted fresh and just melted into my mouth. The set included 1pc yellowtail, 1pc salmon, 1pc tuna, 1pc scallop, 1pc toro tuna belly. It was so good!!! Would definitely get it again. My favorite was the scallop, tuna, toro hand rolls. But honestly they were all really good. Great flavor and they DID NOT skimp on the fish portions!! Service: Good service! Server was really nice and prompt with refilling our waters and bringing out the next piece immediately. Environment: The seating was a little weird at first... The host said we could only get nigiri one of the sections but not the other..?? And the omakase was only in the outer seating area. It was a bit confusing to determine which area to sit at and she didn't really help even though we told her what we were there for. Price: $$ Reasonably priced. It wasn't overpriced like most sushi places around here. Definitely recommend and would come back for sure! I wish I lived closer to go more often!!! read more

Got takeout from here and it was pretty good. My boyfriend and I shared the sushi-sashimi combo for two ($65) and a la carte sushi (uni $11 and Spanish mackerel $3). It was definitely enough food for the two of us and I think most people would be full with just the sushi-sashimi combo since it comes with 12 pcs sashimi, 10 pcs sushi and 2 rolls. The portions and quality were excellent, especially since the combo included fatty tuna, white tuna, and yellowtail. I'd definitely order from here again! I just wish they listed the prices online so you can be more aware when ordering. read more

Honshu - Sushi Sashimi for 2. Back: Jersey Roll, Spanish Mackerel Sushi, Sea Urchin Sushi and Salmon Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Located near the waterfront in Jersey City, Honshu serves up great sushi- from rolls to their Chirashi bowls, and sashimi. Also on the menu is an Omalase meal that the chef chooses based on their catch of the day. Entrees are good and the menu is massive. They have happy hour specials where rolls are $5-7, oysters are served and apps are $7 ( takoyaki, edamame, etc) I would stay away from their soups like udon and ramen if you are familiar with their specific tastes because they were bland and didn't have that specific flavor. Come here for their hot entrees and def for their sushi. Service is friendly and efficient. Interior is modern and clean, restrooms are clean. There is an indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is on their porch and it is covered once the weather turns either cold/hot/rainy. read more

Service was good. Great place but I am biased because this place was where my husband and I had our very first date. Had the Six TeMaki set. It was absolutely delicious! Fish was so amazing & fresh. It included the salmon, yellowtail, lean tuna, scallop, tuna belly, and sweet shrimp. We also ordered an extra sea urchin on the side which was phenomenal! This is the greatest sushi spot in Jersey. read more

Honshu is our go to sushi spot when we want something more casual than omakase. We've been ordering takeout from here for years and just ate in for the first time recently. The dining area is spacious and not at all cramped and it was nice to enjoy all of our food fresh from the kitchen! We were there for lunch so we got the lunch specials - maki regular (2 rolls with a choice of miso soup or salad) and maki deluxe (3 rolls with a choice of miso soup or salad). We got a variety of rolls but our favorite for this most recent visit was the spicy tuna roll. For takeout I usually also like to get a sweet potato roll but unfortunately it wasn't part of the list of rolls you could get in the lunch special. read more

I can't believe it's taken me this long to eat at Honshu. Came here last night for a date night with my partner and we both really liked it. They have outdoor and indoor dining, though we were told the outdoor dining is only if you want omakase. We opted for indoors, but they were nice enough to seat us next to the open windows. The restaurant is pretty large and were able to seat us immediately (it was around 8p on a Friday) We started out with miso soup (delicious) and beef tataki (also delicious). From there we ordered a few rolls. I *highly* suggest trying the Honshu roll. It basically melts in your mouth, the taste and texture were perfect. It also comes with its own tasty dipping sauce. The other rolls we got were great too - Godzilla roll, Tokyo roll, and one whose name I forget. I want to come back and try their desserts. We were just too full this time around. read more

Go to sushi spot with work colleagues. Their fish is of great quality, service prompt and interiors welcoming. Some of their finest appetizers that I have tried, of which there are many, are their Salted Edamame (5/5), Blistered Shishito Peppers (4/5), and Tuna Tartare Tower (4/5). Their sushi rolls as well are all beyond impressive. Of the several rolls I've tried my favorites are the Honshu Roll (5/5), Sunrise Roll (5/5), Special K Roll (4.5/5). The other rolls however will not disappoint. The hot tea they serve is also bottomless so they keep the warm refills coming which is an absolute delight. Of the multiple sushi spots I've tried in NYC and NJ, this one has got to be a close winner. read more

Finding a place for dinner in Jersey City on a Saturday night at 7pm in an exercise in exasperation. We were going to cross the tunnel and head into NYC, but this place was recommended. It was about 1/3 full, but you could tell that they were doing a lot of pick-up/take out as the sushi bar folks were moving way too briskly for the dine in volume. Omakase for $85/person was quite reasonable, everything was fresh and flavorful, with a side of hamachi kama, some sake and beer altogether about $350 out the door for 3 people. This is our new go-to spot for good quality, last minute sushi/sashimi. read more

Best sushi in Jersey City . Literally the only place i will order from. The restaurant has a lovely interior but I usually order delivery . lunch specials are limited but their portions sizes are perfect. I recommend sticking to the sushi, noodle and soup dishes.... that is what they do best. I was disappointed by the Katsu and beef teriyaki so i would avoid and stick to the dishes above. thank me later read more
