I have eaten at this Hoboken BYOB sushi spot a few times and have always left satisfied. For one, there are tons of creative and interesting rolls available which is always a treat. Furthermore, the fish I have had here has always tasted fresh and the service is a lot better than other sushi places in Hoboken. read more

BYOB is always a wonderful thing. Unless you're coming from the chaos of the irish parade, completely sober, looking for a place to down a little sake (get to the point) and you then discover it's BYOB. And then you cry into your coca cola....But the food was so good it almost made up for our sober pains. The chicken and vegetable tempura tempura were fresh, crispy, and delish. The spicy tuna roll was pretty good...everything is really fresh and relatively cheap. I could have tried some funkier dishes here if I were feeling more daring/enthusiastic and I'm sure they'd be awesome. read more

Came here with a group of friends and thoroughly enjoyed the place. The sushi was phenomenal and the restaurant had a BYOB policy which was nice. The staff was good; however, I found myself a bit taken back by the pricing. Either way, this is a great laid back restaurant to go to. read more

Went to Illuzion my first time this past weekend, and have to say I was very disappointed. I should have walked out the door when I saw the mob of people waiting at the front, there is no way this place actually goes by reservations. I made a reservation, guy didn't even ask for my name, kept saying "few more minutes" every now and then, and soon enough it turned out to be a half an hour wait! Would never have waited that long if we knew. Don't even bother making a reservation here as they don't write anything down. When our table FINALLY was ready, no one walked us to the table, no apologies for the wait, the guy at the front simply waved his hand and shooed us to the back to our table, incredibly rude. To top it off, the waitress was surly and it took us asking 3 times and finally asking a separate waitress to get water. The only good thing was that our food came out quickly since we were starving from the wait. Also, I had the summer of Hoboken roll, the spicy tuna and salmon had absolutely no "spice" to them. Overall we paid a lot for mediocre food and poor service. Go somewhere where your money is appreciated! read more

Delivery was very fast, the food arrived exactly 25 minutes after I ordered through Yelp/Delivery.com. The miso soup was still hot. Ordered the Assorted Sushi (8pc sushi) which had huge pieces of salmon and tuna on rice. Spicy tuna roll was standard. Regular rolls come in 6 pieces. I would order from them again, the fish was fresh and most reviews show that the food quality is consistently good. read more

I went here last night and I must say the service was fantastic and the food arrived very quickly to our table. My boyfriend and I split the Mango Avocado and the Chicken Tempura roll and they were both quite delicious. Next time I plan to try some of their specialty rolls. read more

Illuzion is the best sushi restaurant in Hoboken, non negotiable. I grew up in Hoboken so I've had the opportunity to eat at every sushi restaurant here and Illuzion is now the only one I go to. I've frequented Illuzion for years and the following is always true; the customer service is wonderful, the atmosphere is enjoyable and most of all the sushi is top quality. I love this place and recommend that everyone go there! read more

Illuzion was a nice location to host a group of 11 friends. Food was good, service was also friendly. I did not have to wait very long for seating and the food came out in a timely manner. BYOB read more

the sushi here is really hit or miss, but it's honestly never that great. a few times i've gotten sushi that was just inedible. if i go now, i try to stick to the rolls and some of the cooked dishes. that said, i think you need to venture into new york to get decent sushi. read more

Great place all around. If you eat here, request upstairs seating, it's not as cramped. Sushi is definitely one of the best in Hoboken. I order in a TON from Illuzion's and it is hands down the best delivery of sushi in town. I have them on speed dial and they have all my info saved for quick ordering. read more

Great fresh sushi. Try the spicy dirty girl.

The sushi is good. They have a great seafood soup with tons of fish in it. The waitstaff is a little overbearing. There is no need to constantly ask if we need anything. It starts to feel like they just want to rush you out. Not ok. read more

Great and fresh sushi. Very fast service. Have gotten both take out and eat in and no complaints. reasonable priced too!

Food was delicious, very fast. They took our order of 13 and they were accurate. Waiters/waitresses are very nice but sometimes seemed like they didn't understand us maybe because of the language barrier we had to repeat ourselves a few times. read more

In a sea of mediocre Asian restaurants in Hoboken, Illuzion holds it's own. While ordering a three roll lunch combo was a challenge ("sorry, this no available") what did arrive was above average; except for the salad. The sushi rolls were well crafted with fresh ingredients. The miso soup was tasty. The salad was laughable - iceberg lettuce with pink dressing that seemed like a combo of mayonnaise and traditional ginger dressing. Had the salad been better and their prices not been a couple dollars more than the rest, maybe another star. read more

I eat sushi a lot! This is by far the best sushi that I've had in Hudson co. Plus the ambiance is great. The artwork is nice and created by locals but is essentially for sale (aka overpriced artwork from those who struggle to actually be considered artists). They stay open relatively late for Hoboken. The worst aspect is finding parking (as is my biggest complaint for any business along Washington). read more

kinda expensive, not too tasty and dishes are small. the view is okay, service is good and there are some veggie options. rolls fall apart and they'll get your clothes dirty. bottom line - try another place. read more

The sushi was fresh and the gyoza was delicious. Service was very efficient. Will definitely try again!

My boyfriend and I ate here last week...Definitely one of the best sushi places I've been to in Hoboken so far. The special rolls were delicious yet slightly pricy for the size. The service was far from great, but not worth passing the opportunity to try the food. I will be going there again and hopefully the service will be a little faster this time. The decor and setting are super chic and funky, good atmosphere. read more

decent sushi, nothing that will knock your socks off though. I usually go during the week and it's always busy....service is okay, but i feel like they're always rushing you out. plus they never bring the food out at the same time. my friend and i always go and order different appetizers, and they are never brought out together which bothers me. overall i like it though and a good option. read more

Delicious fresh Sushi, generous cuts, good price.

As many other yelp readers said, the sushi is pretty reasonably priced and I found the portions to be very generous. I tried for the first time a salmon skin salad and the Spicy Bad Girl Roll, Philly Roll, and and Avocado Roll. Everything was pretty good but not amazing. I think Robongi is probably the freshest sushi in town. Delivery was fast and the price, again, is a major plus! One downside and I have no idea if it was related, that night I didn't feel so great. I didn't end up getting food poisoning but something didn't sit right down there. I don't know if I will be choosing this place over Robongi but it is not a bad choice if you want to give it a go! read more

Excellent sushi, the best I have had in this side of the river. The spicy beef gyoza is exceptional. Sushi is always good quality and the option for brown rice makes it even better. read more

Skip it. Illuzion's japanese BYOB in hoboken is an ok place to drop in if you're craving some sushi (it's perfectly adequate, often crowded, yet nowhere near perfect). The food is ok, the service is lackluster, and the decor is just fine. If you have a craving for BYOB sushi, ok, stop in, but by no means would I recommend going out of your way to try Illuzion. Too overpriced for the generic decor and flat fare, I suggest trying one of Hoboken's (many) other culinary gem's instead. read more

Illuzion's sushi is fresh and delicious. We go here all of the time, but the deliver service is so much faster. The rolls are great but I prefer the sashimi. Either way, good sushi for Hoboken. read more

It was date night for my boyfriend and I, we knew we wanted sushi. This place stood out due to the fact it's BYOB. We went on a warm summer Saturday night around 8:30. I was happy we were able to get seated outside!!! For an appetizer we ordered edamame and the rock shrimp tempura--- AHH--maz--ing! I wish we ordered two orders of the rock shrimp it was absolutely delicious!!! When it comes to sushi my BF lets me do the choosing from the menu for us. I chose the angry dragon roll, something about a slice of Mango on top of the roll just complements the fish so well! We ordered a few other rolls which were all fresh and delicious. I think I found my new fav sushi spot! read more

One of my favorite takeout and delivery sushi places. Very fresh fish, great combinations, fair prices. My only warning: if you order on a busy night, it will take much longer than the estimated time. It's worth it and it is to be expected. read more

Sushi was very good especially the special rolls. I recommend the kite-runner roll. The service was somewhat slow but have had worse.

This is my favorite sushi place in Hoboken. Everything is fresh and they have a lot of inventive specialty rolls. I tend to not have sushi delivered because I find you are given a lesser quality, but this is not true of Illuzion, who also has a lightening speed delivery service. read more

The freshest sushi I've ever had. Clean but small restaurant, friendly staff, BYOB and free corking service. Nice outside seating in the summer, cozy seating inside. read more

I'm not in the mood to go into a ton of detail on this one....so I'll be brief. Some of the menu items are very pricey so be careful of what you order if you don't want to get crushed by your bill. Last night I ordered 2 of the 'cheaper' things for delivery. I got the spicy scallop roll and the Beef Don (rice bowl). The scallop roll was not very good. They use very little actual scallop. It's ground up scallop mixed with a lot of crunchy filler....and it's very small. However the beef don rice bowl is AMAZING This is one of my favorite dishes and I've tried them at every Hoboken sushi restaurant. This is the best one I have tried. read more

The food and service are always great! Staff is always very attentive. Definitely a good place to frequent for dinner :)

Illuzion is my favorite Japanese/sushi ever ! The obsession first came 2 months back when my boyfriend and I ordered delivery...fast delivery and extremely fresh fish! Also, all of the colors looked very bright which is important to me when eating fish. We've gone back twice in the past month to eat at the restaurant. BYOB is a plus, staff is friendly and the delicious food comes out quick. I have dreams about the food here, can't wait to go back ! read more

Amazing sushi!! I don't think you can go wrong with any of the specialty rolls. Spicy Bad Girl is extremely good but so were all of the others I tried. It's BYOB and the atmosphere has a good vibe. I will definitely be back:) read more

Amazing!!! Every specialty sushi sounded great! We ordered the crazy weekend the summer of Hoboken! To die for!!

If this platform allowed me the option to not leave a star I would. Based on my experience with delivery through the service "Seamless" I would never give this restaurant my business ever again. I will also continue to spread word of this horrible experience being the worst customer service interaction in my life. On January 8 at 4:07 pm I placed a simple order of a Shrimp Tempura Roll & an order of Mixed Tempura. My order was $13.50 and I chose to tip $2.50, now typically I prefer to tip in cash based on punctuality of the driver and experience with the drop off, I only had $2 cash on my so I was going to use my discretion whether I would tip more than what I had already charged on my credit card. Fast forward an hour and my food still hadn't arrived. If you have never used Seamless it's quite nifty, the service provides you with a time frame in which your food will arrive as well as an update of when your food order was accepted, prepared and left the restaurant. The time frame provided to me was 45-55 minutes...an hour and fifteen minutes later my food arrived, 20 minutes late. I opened the door and greeted the delivery driver and before he even handed me my food or greeted me back he looks at the order invoice and said to me, "We have a problem, we need to talk about your order" I thought I made a mistake or maybe they made a mistake and asked what the issue was. He then continued and stated, " you only tipped me $2.50 and where you live you have to tip at least $5, you can't tip so low you have to tip me more." At this point I was in complete shock that he would even have the courage to demand more money from me when he was late. I do not live far from the restaurant either, it's 1.2 miles from my home I didn't think this was an issue especially because the ONLY requirement while ordering was $10 minimum order, there was no tip minimum or delivery fee, nothing else. I asked him, " well is there a minimum? Because I didn't see anything online" his response was, " No there's no minimum but $5 is a good tip and if you don't want to fine! You don't order from us anymore. Order somewhere else next time!" The nerve of this delivery man...I was so confused and shocked. He just told me I can't order from them bc I didn't tip him 40% of my $14 meal! I took a couple deep breaths and decided to let it go, I wanted to enjoy my meal. I opened my meal and it was wrong!!! The roll I paid for was Shrimp Tempura the roll I got was a California roll. I ordered Mixed tempura which is supposed to come with shrimp and vegetables, I got Vegetable Tempura. To top it off my tempura was cold and soggy and my roll was falling apart, poorly assembled. I decided to call the restaurant and tried to speak to the manager. The first woman who answered asked me if she could help me with anything I said no I just wanted to speak to the manager and she was very persistent and kept asking me what was wrong. At this point I felt like she knew I was upset and didn't want me to complain. After about four minutes of going back and forth about me wanting to speak to a manager I asked what the managers name was and she told me she didn't know and that she was new. I was in disbelief this was happening to me, then I asked to speak to someone else who was not new, she passed the phone to someone else but first filled her in on what was happening. The next employee I spoke to also wouldn't let me speak to the manager, three minutes into going back and forth and trying to get the managers name she finally gave me the name Wendy, but that she was there. I hung up very upset and feeling very swindled and all in all confused and like I wasted money and still hungry. I decided to call the next day using the name she gave me, I asked for Wendy, the employee said she was not in I asked when she would be back the employee said she didn't know. I let a couple days go by and called back today, the same scenario happened, Wendy wasn't there and no one knew when she would get back. I am at a loss here. The only thing I can think of is take time out of my work and school schedule and visit the restaurant, which I might do. If you want to visit here don't!!!!! If you want sushi takeout, ORDER SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY OR SANITY!! read more

I always order take out (lunch time) and pay with my CC. Last time, the lady told me that i need to spend $15 min. So tht they can charge my card. I was like what? That never happened before? She was rude and said if you want your food pay or leave.... I left! Not coming back! They need to learn how to treat customers. read more

Great, decently priced food! I probably go to Illuzion a few times a month and I bring my out of town friends here. I lovee their noodles, the lobster sushi is great and the dumplings are my FAVORITE in Hoboken. BYOB definitely helps with the bill. Love it! read more

My favorite sushi spot in Hoboken. My the great speciality rolls! My boyfriend and I order from here about once a week, we just love this place! read more

This is my favorite sushi place in Hoboken. Great location, great ambience, and great sushi. BYOB also so you can't go wrong. If you like salmon try the Autumn of New York roll, that's my favorite! read more
