    Hibachi Vegetable Plate with salad

    The food here is very good and for a vegetable hibachi which comes with a soup or salad came out to around $14 which isn't too bad. Fried rice was delicious and the service is fast when I ordered for pick up. Will definitely be going back there

    One of the very first Japanese restaurants on the island that we have frequented for the past 13+ years. Service is always great and reliable and staff is like family. The pandemic couldn't keep us away as we opted for delivery once they reopened for business. Please patronize the restaurant when you're on the island!

    A friend told us about this place because they have an ayce option. We didn't go there for this but they don't advertise it either. The three of us were seated immediately. Two of us order the blue Hawaii. After alittle while we order our food. I order brown rice avocado rolls with ginger dressing on the side and miso soup. My friend ordered the mango chicken, beef teriyaki, fried rice and sweet potato rolls. The lady looks at him confused and asks if he's sure he wants that. I think she thought it was a lot of food for just him but he says yes and that he wants the beef well done. My sister ordered Miso soup and tofu teriyaki. She didn't write anything done but requests the order to us. Everything she says is correct. Miso soup comes tastes like every other miso soup. Our food comes out hot but things are wrong. No salad dressing and the beef teriyaki was rare. So I tell her this is wrong it's supposed to be well done and she looks confused. So I said it needs to be cooked more so she says ok and takes it. My sister's dish looked sad because it was tofu with teriyaki sauce splattered on top of it. Everyone else's food is good. My friends beef comes back by the end of the meal so we get it to go. I'd go back for the ayce but that's probably it. Nothing wowed me.

    One of my favorite sushi spots. They have all you can eat now which is great! But make sure you don't over order, because there is a charge for uneaten food. Food is always fresh, and delicious. Highly recommend! Great for night out or date night!

    Food and service was good. The people here are very welcoming and makes sure that your cup is filled with tea/water at all time. They did not have Uni and so they took it off our bill and gave us edamame for the inconvenience

    One of the best AYCE sushi I've had. It is a bit pricier per person than other places but the quality great! They don't skimp down on the food just because it's ayce. They also have regular sushi if you don't feel like you're big eater.

    Tables with rules longer than a Hoboken parking sign   = tacky management.  Beware!

    New management is definately having a hard time transitioning to an all-you-can-eat restaurant. The plates came out fairly slow and the pieces are very large (normally a good thing, right? But wait for it....) I left 6 pieces on my plate because of the unexpectedly sizes of the rolls. Therefore, I got charged the 10 dollar "wasteful evil person" penalty. (First time I ever experienced this!). Anyway, I would have returned as a much less wasteful customer if I was not subjected to a manager's interrogation about their policy. Hell, I didn't even put up a fight over it. I think she just enjoys scolding people to make a point to others. The sushi is actually very good, but you can find very good sushi and avoid the real possibility of being emotionally abused while dining out easily enough. Go at your own risk. Live long and prosper, Sushi police women.

    If you want quick and delicious sushi this is the place. I was coming here before the name was changed to Sanma, not much is different besides the name. My favorite is the sushi appetizer pizza. I usually get a spicy shrimp roll here, they make it like no one else I've ever tried. I highly recommend this place not expensive but very good and fast service.

    I found a tremendous worm in my White Tuna Sashimi today, after spending almost $30 on my dinner. They did not offer me my money back. This was a place I used to order from ALL THE TIME. Never again. Avoid like the plague.

    Good sushi but in the pricey side for not much pomp and circumstance. Oyster shots are the real reason to go.

    Was in the area for a doctor appointment and needed a quick lunch...and Quick Grill seemed like the…read moreright place for a quick lunch. This is your typical quick Japanese food joint. Prices here are not bad at all. I ordered the chicken bento meal up at the counter and it was out fairly fast and the counter guy was pretty friendly. The food? It was exactly what I expected for a $12 bento box. The chicken was very good, the dumplings were just ok, the California roll was good. I didn't expect a five star meal, but they gave me exactly what I wanted and it was a good serving size. There's no reason NOT to give them a try if you're in the area.

    ## Review: Zero Stars for Zero Accountability **Title: Avoid…read moreQuick Grill Japan - Incompetent Management & Missing Food** I would give this place zero stars if I could. I ordered two of their "2-for-1" deals through DoorDash, expecting four items total. Instead, I received only two. When I called to resolve the "mistake," I was met with the most unprofessional "manager" I've ever encountered. Rather than taking responsibility for a clear fulfillment error, the manager told me it "wasn't his problem" and told me to take it up with DoorDash. He then tried to gaslight me by claiming I had to manually order the items twice to get the deal--which is mathematically and logically nonsensical for a 2-for-1 promotion. I even tested this logic with other restaurants nearby; surprise, surprise, that's not how it works anywhere else. The manager's refusal to acknowledge a simple screw-up resulted in me spending an hour on the phone, frustrated and hungry. While DoorDash eventually stepped up and provided a refund, the restaurant itself showed zero integrity. **Bottom line:** If you enjoy paying full price for half your meal and being told it's your fault by a manager who clearly doesn't understand the basics of customer service (or math), this is the place for you. Otherwise, stay far away. They should be ashamed. **Never again.** Kevin R

Every dish is perfectly crafted with precision and delicious every time I visit here. It's my home away from the fatherland home which is South Korea. My mother agrees . You can't beat that. SERVICE: The enduring owners have built a legacy here that will be remembered for generations. They were recently highlighted as a BEST local hidden gem restaurant in the Staten Island Advance, the premier newspaper in Staten Island. Speaks volumes enough that they still do the heavy lifting and serving the dishes to the tables in their golden years. My heart fills with pride to be a Korean born in the USA and my eyes begin to well up as I think about the countless sacrifices they have made to make it here to be as successful and legendary as they are and will always be. That I'll never fully understand in many lifetimes over. AMBIANCE: This immaculately designed restaurant has just the perfect lighting and generous space for intimate dining and conversation. It feels like I'm dining at a five-star rated restaurant, but even better. I don't lie if I said I would give this oasis a seven-star rating. That's how good I feel about this place. P.S. I must reserve the KARAOKE ROOM next door for my next birthday party celebration. I just know it's going to be a rocking, weeping good time!

I got the sushi tempera roll combo which was a good combination of shrimp, chicken, and spider (soft shell crab). It was pretty good, but it was unclear if it came with soup and salad but they were dropped off and we had to check and the server seemed confused what we were checking about. My husband got a steak and scallop hibachi bento box dinner. The steak was fine, but the vegetables it came with ere really onion-heavy (like 80%), and rice and noodles were pretty flavorless. They didn't taste freshly cooked, with a firmness to them. Some people in our group didn't get the food until way after, to the point we had to follow up and see if it had been forgotten. The service was okay. I know groups are hard, but we were also on a weeknight early when there weren't other groups. The parking lot is okay but a little small. The food was okay, but it wasn't anything special. The family liked it though, so maybe there are some better hits in there.
