I went on September 12, 2026, and the whole experience completely took me by surprise! I was simply looking for sushi nearby, but who knew I was in for such a unique experience? The restaurant has a futuristic feel. You sit at your own booth while food travels around on a conveyor belt, ready to be picked up. I believe it was around $36 per person for all you can eat, and drinks were included, although refills were not. You can order up to 5 food items every 5 minutes, and your order is delivered directly to your table by either a little car or a robot, how cool is that?! Each party gets 90 minutes to dine. Dessert was a separate cost for the ice cream, which I believe was around $2, but there were also cakes traveling on the belt that were included in the all you can eat price, and they were tasty! The entire experience was so much fun and interesting, and the food was really good too! My personal favorites were the hibachi steak and shrimp tempura sushi. I can't wait to go back! This is definitely a place worth your time and money! read more

As someone who only knows of Kura Sushi as my first conveyer belt sushi - ever - in the USA, I truly appreciated the theme here. The conveyer belt sushi is there but they have "trains" that delivers the sushi you would specifically order right on the side of your table. The ambiance and theme makes me feel nostalgic on my trip to Osaka and eating sushi on conveyer belt. The servers here are also very nice. The quality is decent, but of course do not expect much either. Still a wonderful experience. I normally order salmon anything and was pleased at their options. I hope to come back! read more

Came to try since I saw it online. Staff was very kind and service is good. The issue is with the ordering. I came with a party of 4 and was only allowed to order every 5 minutes, as the iPad will time out and not allow you to order again. Understand this might be due to food waste or over ordering. The conveyor belt can use signs, and at some point of times it was only fruits or seaweed salad spinning around. Standouts include salmon, squid and scallops. Concept is cute and restaurant is bright and clean, but I think it becomes tough at an all you can eat when you have to keep waiting to eat or order. Especially if you come hungry! read more

Compared to other AYCE this sushi spot had so many options and meals. We enjoyed so much food but wish it didn't take so long in ordering anything from the kitchen. While also wishing the conveyor belt had more options. It could be because of the day and time we went but it was tough waiting. Overall the staff is friendly and the establishment itself is very hi-tech. read more

Shinjuku Station has become one of my favorite sushi spots! The atmosphere is super unique - they perfectly encapsulated the vibe of a Japanese train station. The all-you-can-eat structure is great for trying tons of different menu items, and taking your time eating and hanging out at your booth. I generally arrive before 2pm and enjoy their lunch rate of $20 per person. Every item I've ordered (sushi or not) has been perfectly made to order, and everything seems fresh/high quality. You will place most of your food orders on the self-service tablet on your table, but the servers have also been prompt and friendly whenever you need to order certain drinks or menu items that require a server. They do not have alcoholic drinks at this location. read more

Sushi lovers heaven!! The atmosphere is really cool, it looks like you're in a subway station, and the screens on the walls make the experience better. The food came out fast, and we got to try everything on the menu (that we wanted to of course). For the most part, everything was delicious, and the price was great for the amount of food. Definitely a place to check out if you're looking for good and unlimited food. (There's not much interaction with waiters as they have the robot machines serving food.) read more

We went during lunchtime and it was a little busy. Even so, we didn't wait long for our orders. You're allowed to order 5 items every 5 minutes. And you can help yourself to sushi, fruit, and desserts off the revolving track. Our server was very busy as she had several tables to take care of. But, she did her best and checked on us several times. The robots and delivery trains were very busy and came in record time. We didn't wait long, but did have one steak sushi that came pretty raw. We weren't sure if it was normal as we ordered it for the first time. All in all we were happy with our meal and we'll go again in the future. read more

I hate to say it, but this might be the best AYCE sushi restaurant I've been to in Jersey. It's gimmicky, don't get me wrong, but in the best way. Upon entering, you've entered a high speed Japanese train with lights and signage surrounding you. The little train cars that bring your food are super fun, and the conveyor belt is actually filled with food. The little robots that bring you appetizers are a fun touch too! There's a great mix of both sushi and cooked food here, and each dish has such amazing flavor (which is surprising for an AYCE establishment.) I was fully expecting something to taste off or not hit the mark, but that never came. While the sushi rolls are fun, the cooked food is definitely the star. The fried rice was flavorful, meats had great sear to them and the sauces were tasty. I've never been to an all you can eat that had agedashi tofu, so it was a surprise to me seeing this on the menu! Whether you're into raw sushi or cooked meals, there's food for everyone. I fully understand why wait times are so long - we waited for 1.5 hours for an early weekend dinner. Definitely need to visit this place at least once, maybe twice, or just all the time, because the bang for your buck here is unreal! read more

This place quickly became one of my favorite AYCE sushi spots. The staff are extremely kind and attentive. We came on a Friday around 6 and they were getting busy. I joined the waitlist on Google for two people and were seated within 10 minutes. The sushi is fresh and tasty. They have a large selection of cooked/hot food. We enjoyed a lot of it- fries, steak hibachi, fried calamari. The only thing we didnt enjoy is the ramen. The soup was just too watered down. You order the food from the ipad and can also pick items off the conveyor belt. The food you order on the ipad either comes from a person, robot, or a little train. The place itself is super fun with so many aspects of a Japanese train station. Would definitely come back!! read more

I stopped into this restaurant for lunch and when I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and was greeted and sat! The place was busy! Angie was my server and she was awesome! I ordered: Strawberry Refresher Tea Black Tea Latte Pink Lady Roll Cucumber, crab meat, Shrimp Tempura Shrimp Skewer Eel Seared Steak Spicy Seafood Ramen Steak Hibachi Chocolate Cake I loved the pink lady roll and the Eel Seared Steak! All in all a good, fun experience! read more

We celebrated my husband's birthday here on a Sunday around 7pm and it was busy. We waited about 20 minutes which was not bad. It's designed as a Japanese train. The little train cars that bring your food are super fun, and the conveyor belt has food as well and of course the robots that bring you food as well. This is all you can eat so you pay 1 price for everything. I thought Ramen would be more expensive but it's not, it's included! I think only drinks and desserts are extra. This place had a lot of options and way more than sushi so if you are not a sushi person, there's plenty. To be honest, the mozzarella sticks were some of the best I ever had. I also love Kura sushi which is a very similar revolving sushi bar place so I am comparing it to that. This place relies more on the tablet ordering than the conveyor belt while Kura relies on the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt here had some things labeled, most of it was unlabeled which was a little annoying. Everything at Kura is labeled. Kura is pricing per plate while this place is all you can eat - which I do prefer. I think this place has way more selection while Kura has more or less the same items. I still love this place but overall, I do prefer Kura more. Both places definitely have pros and cons though. The service was great as well. Everyone was friendly and knowledgable. Regardless, I will be back and would recommend. read more

Did you know AYCE revolving sushi exists!?? I didn't until I went here. They opened not too long ago and they are quite innovative. You have 4 ways of receiving your food: 1. On the conveyor belt 2. By the train ( they are really committing to the bit) 3. By the robot server 4. The old fashion way human server I do think the stuff on the conveyor belt are ... Okay. You're not going to get the freshest fish or the fanciest rolls but I love the gimmick. The better items are listed on the iPad. One caveat for ordering through the iPad you can only select 5 items every 5 mins. (I do think it's a great way to prevent ppl from over ordering and wasting food. But it's a little annoying too. You're just patiently waiting for the 5 min timer to be done) We ordered / grabbed: Various sushi And handrolls (the ones on the conveyor belt have 2 pieces on each plate) Seaweed salad Beef negamaki Edamame Takoyaki Coconut shrimp (the coconut is really strong) Pepper lemon. Chicken wings Dumplings Scallops sushi Salmon ceviche White tuna ceviche Tako salad ( I would skip) Softshell crab Shrimp skewers Matcha cheesecake Quite a lot of variety of dishes I think this spot is a great spot for a taste of conveyor belt sushi read more

Shinjuku Station offers an awesome experience, especially for those looking for a nice night out with family or friends. The all-you-can-eat revolving sushi was a vibe. While the wait time can be a bit long, the experience is definitely worth it. The prices are reasonable, I thought. I found the selection of sushi to be solid, with each piece tasting fresh and delicious. The service is also noteworthy; the staff remains attentive and ensures everything runs smoothly. Overall, this place is definitely a thumbs up for anyone looking to enjoy great sushi in a lively environment. Plenty of parking as well. read more

Shinjuku Station offers a pretty mediocre revolving sushi experience. For me, the standouts here were the appetizer options. We tried the Cajun fries, shumai, fried calamari, crab rangoons, and chicken skewers. Everything was so yummy and was accompanied by a delicious sauce. However, the sushi options left something to be desired. The nigiri had decent fish quality, but there was an overwhelming amount of rice in proportion to the fish. I quite liked the scallop offered. In terms of rolls, most fell short. While some of the simpler rolls like spicy crab were yummy, all of the special rolls we tried were disappointing. A lot of these rolls are drenched in sauce and have mediocre fish. Despite being different, all of them kinda blended together because they lacked any unique flavor. What really makes this restaurant standout is the interior design. They have a really cool Shinjuku Station theme covering the whole restaurant, including the ceiling. The revolving sushi bar and robot servers offer a fun novelty unlike most restaurants. The table was also pretty spacious for all the food we were grabbing and ordering. The service here is so-so. Our server was super apologetic about the fact that we had to wait a few minutes for our tablet, which was super nice of her. She promptly brought out our drinks and side sauces. Most of our orders came out pretty quickly, whether they came from the little train or the robot. They also have a lot of staff coming around to take finished plates. One of the employees did take away a couple plates after we said we were still working on them, which was a little inconvenient but not a huge deal. Overall, not my favorite sushi spot but we still had a pretty fun time here. read more

I have been here a few times and I will say they've made some changes The sushi is good for the $$ value. You will get full fast so don't make a fuss about the time limit it is plenty They added labels to the belt so you know what your picking up It's not for all of the sushi but many And they added menu options Don't bother with the bubble tea is was terrible. The tapioca was very squishy like chewing plastic. It's not included either so just pass on that read more

I saw this place online and thought it looked really cool. It was a good experience and the atmosphere was really cool and very Instagram worthy. The food was good but definitely nothing amazing you'd have to go back for. My parents didn't like their sushi, I guess it is typical to not have the best quality food at buffet-style places. The one part that stuck with me is our server was kind of rude, he got our drink order wrong, and when we told him we ordered something else he blamed it on us saying that we misspoke (there was 4 of us there to confirm we 100% ordered the right thing). Just not right for a server to blame the customers. Was it cool? Yes. Would I go back? No. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner at 540pm on a Saturday. I was told a 25 minute wait but it was actually only 5 minutes, a pleasant surprise. Our waiter Kye, was super helpful and took care of all our needs. My kids had a blast taking the dishes off the conveyor belt and the trains. For an all you can eat restaurant, there are many options to choose from. You're allowed 5 orders every 5 minutes which is ok for our group of 4. The quality of the sushi is average but again, the vibe of the place is what drew us in. Also, my 3 year old is still free which is a plus. I paid less money here than when eating at Kura. We'll be back for sure. read more

First time here to celebrate a bday. Recommend for a new dining experience. Miki our server was great! She took care of us and explained how to order. You order drinks with the server first and it's all you can eat here. You can order on the tablet and/or grab plates from the conveyor belt. They have robots that help servers serve the food. The food is fresh and clean. They're quick with the service. Fruit platters to help cleanse your palette. We were definitely full. I did like the refreshers. Not sure about the milk tease, didn't try them. If you go ask for Miki. Staff were super friendly! read more

We came here for my eldest sister's birthday because she wanted to eat sushi. Ambiance: The restaurant looked interesting with the decor. The tables were clean and there was no garbage on the floors. Service: I cannot believe that there was a 3 hour wait just to get in to eat some sushi. The service here is way too slow with the staff and the tablets that are provided to each table. Even the little train that brings the food is slow including the sushi belt. Food: There were absolutely no salmon rolls or anything on the sushi belt. They had the same three sushi items that no one eats that kept revolving around in circles. The tablet is the worst thing they ever came up with where you can order only 5 items at a time and it takes 30 to 45 minutes to deliver. The sushi here does not taste that fresh and the hot food items could be better with the flavoring. Overall: I will most likely not return to this revolving sushi due to the poor service and sushi choices. If they have faster service with the tablets and staff, it would be better. Also, if they had more sushi options like any other sushi restaurant or buffet it would be good for business too. read more

Food was higher quality than I had expected. Food was delivered quickly - the items we ordered via iPad (you can order up to 5 items every 5 minutes) ...other stuff randomly passed on the conveyor belt to grab and eat.

This place was so much fun!! It's an all you can eat setup, where you can get food in 2 ways. You can order on the iPad and the food will be delivered by train or by robot. So cool! Or you can just grab whatever looks good as it comes around the conveyer belt. Here's where the problem comes in, because everything looks good and it's hard to stop grabbing! We had to really focus on pacing ourselves and balancing between the conveyer and the iPad. Some of our favorites: - All the sushi - can't go wrong - seared salmon sushi with basil spread on top - salmon teriyaki - the dessert that looks like a big cold fish. Delicious but not too sweet custard filling inside Wish the place was closer to us. But it's worth the longer trip for us every once in a while! read more

In summary, its a decent option. Kura sushi is better, although will be more expensive for the same amount of food. We went early around 1130 on a weekday, so we could select a "good" table. Was looking to avoid a table towards the end of the belt, after hearing most of the good food would be gone by the time it gets there. The restaurant had plenty of open tables till around 12ish, and was full by the time we left. So I'd recommend arriving by 12 on a weekday (maybe earlier on a weekend). I can definitely see potential issues with items running out during popular times. However they do allow you to order up to 5 items from the iPad every 5 min or so. These ordered items in general looked higher quality than the belt ones. So I would recommend taking advantage of this even if you do get the belt options. Keep in mind that the ordered food does take a while to come out. Rolls in general were fairly decent. On par with a mid grade sushi joint. No sashimi etc. They did have some entrees... None of the fried stuff was good Staff friendly but check in too frequently In general I thought it was great value for mid quality sushi rolls. Will be back, although not for dinner as I don't think its worth waiting for. read more

Shinjuku Station - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - South Plainfield, New Jersey

Don't believe the hype. The food is okay at best and the service is no where to be found. I went there with my family [6 of us] early on a weekend before the lunch rush. Seating was fast and the worker explained how ordering worked. But that was probably the last time we've seen our server. We found the belt to be limited of choices and found ourselves ordering from the tablet more often than not. We were limited to a maximum of 6 items to order every 5 minutes. I understand this is to not overload the kitchen. But for 6 items for 6 people every 5 minutes is a little low. I don't think I'll be coming back here as there are better options around the area. read more

I enjoyed our experience here for lunch. The salmon negiri was fresh and tasty. Some of the special rolls were good too, but others were heavy on the fried stuff and less on the fish/shrimp. I liked the shrimp teriyaki, though the beef teriyaki was a little lackluster. The way it works: Once seated, you get to grab anything you want off the conveyer belt. You just take the plate, not the whole case. There are a lot of items on the menu that won't appear on the belt. For these, such as hot food, special rolls, and certain negiri, you place the order on the tablet. You get to order 5 things at one time (5 min lag until you can input another 5). For a table of 2, this worked well, but I wonder if it might be too slow for a larger party size. read more

Stopped at this place twice on the way home for NY with hopes it gets better, but unfortunately not. The gimmic of the Shinjuku train station, and the customer service is what makes this place nice. But other than that, the food is probably better at another AYCE location. I will say the ramen is the appetizers was good, but the belts are hard to keep clean especially with the amount of customers picking off the belt. But also depending on where you are - much better off getting sushi off the tablet instead. If anything I will give the Harrisburg location a try, but after two tries here I think I will pass. read more

The food was a solid 7/10. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out as exceptional either. We visited as a group of five and were automatically charged a 20% gratuity, even though it was lunchtime. One member of our party has an avocado allergy, and we found that there were very few menu options without avocado. In many cases, removing avocado wasn't an option, which made ordering more challenging than expected. My biggest criticism, however, was the military discount policy. As a military family of five, we were surprised to learn that the discount only applied to the individual presenting a military ID rather than the entire check, as many other restaurants do. It was especially frustrating that our child, who is a minor and therefore does not have a military ID, was not included in the discount. Overall, the experience was okay, but between the service, pricing, and food quality, I would probably choose Kura Revolving Sushi in the future. read more

The view of this place is amazing, food on the other hand is either a hit or a miss. For me is mostly a miss. The spider roll, crab meat taste like it came out if a can. Not much selection on the conveyor belt. The pineapple they offer also came out of a can too. If you want to come here, stick to the safe basic. read more

First of all, service is NOT pleasant for me. (Story: most of their waiter/waitress would not pick up plate that you requested to clear so you have more room, they would pass it to their busboy which there is only one and is working hard, other conveyor belt resto ive been into all of the crew would help each other out.) food is fair, tasty but not excellent. Interior design is really lively with the train design. They also have robot servers which cute and train design conveyor. Restroom smells good but is filthy. Ample spacing between tables. Ample parking space. Accepts credit/debit card. High chair available. NO WIFI and poor reception inside. See images and video for reference. For me, it is a good place to try but not a place to be a patron of. read more

I was excited to try Shinjuku as it's my first time at a revolving sushi bar. Not sure I'll return, primarily because of the quality of the appetizers and the lack of "wow" from the sushi rolls. No, you don't not attended AYCE sushi bars for THEE BEST, but here, the apps were lower quality than usual. Extra greasy and fatty meat are never going to be to grab my attention.

We had a good meal here! I could understand how a large party would be frustrated with the rules & limitations, but our table of 2 was satisfied. So many options from rolls to hot entrees. Items do get rotated in & out of the belt so if you see it, definitely snag it... otherwise the tablet for ordering on demand works pretty well. But again, because of the custom order wait time, it really is optimized for maybe 3-4 people max or ideally 2. We dined at an off-time but it was still very busy. We did have to wait for a table but it only made us hungrier. Good thing it's AYCE! We certainly exceeded our money's worth with plenty of time to spare for dessert. read more

Pretty good sushi's here and hibachi dishes. I enjoy the concept of sushi rotating on the belt/train. If you see what you like, get it or if you touched the plate, it's yours so still take it. Any specials orders placed on the pad will arrive to you on either the little bullet train or the robot. It's a real cool concept. Ask your server for drinks which is not included in the all you can eat buffet. There's some special sauces but you'll also need to ask your server. Overall, I'd recommend this place! We will come back. read more

My Family and I went here to celebrate our son's birthday. Here's a tip, the birthday person gets their meal free with at least 4 people in the party. We went on a Tuesday evening so we were able to get a table quickly and sat down. Our server took our drink order and also you have to order the sauces with the server as well. All sushi pieces were on plates on the convener belt that constantly moved and being re-stocked. Typically its usually two pieces at time on the plates but since its unlimited you can grab as many as you like. They also give you a tablet for you to order additional entrees and other sushi that is not on the belt. They also have hibachi steak, chicken, salmon, and shrimp made to order. Also teriyaki entrees of the same meats are included for you to order. You can order up to 5 items every 5 minutes on the tablet. The orders comes either from the robot servers near the table. This is definitely a unique experience that people should try at least once. The restaurant is decorated like a train station in Japan We will be back in the future if we are in the mood for Sushi. I really like the all you can eat because some other places you worry about the plates you order. You will definitely come out of here very full. My only critique if that I wish they will allow us to say no rice when ordering the entrees because all the entrees comes with a side of rice. I just feel bad not eating the rice. Lastly, its located next to Kohl shopping area so plenty of parking available. read more

My recommendation it so show up 30 minutes before opening time if you don't want to wait. My husband and I arrived five minutes before dinner opening time on a rainy Friday and there was still a line to get in of about 20 people. The hold up seemed to be the hostess trying to decide which table/server to place you with. This restaurant is train themed and it super cute. It is ayce and everyone at the table must participate plus there is a 2 hour dining limit, there is literally a countdown on your tablet. There is a tablet where you can place orders but you can only order five items at a time and you can only place an order every five minutes. My husband and I got a table at the end of the belt. Sadly that meant that everything we wanted was gone by the time the belt made it to us and we would have to order on the tablet. Not to mention, all the items on the belt is not labeled! It is a guessing game which I could see being a problem for someone who may have a food allergy. The kitchen was super backed up as they use the little robots to deliver food as well as the trains. At some point during our dining experience the servers started bringing the food out. At one point we were waiting 15 minutes for our sushi order and thankfully our server Jess checked on it and was able to get it to us. Everything we ordered hot from the kitchen especially fried items came out lukewarm or room temperature and not crunchy at all. My guess is they were dying in the window. The only saving grace was the salmon and scallop nigiri which was buttery smooth and just melts in your mouth. Maybe we will come back in a few months once they've got there groove down since it just opened last week. But I was honestly disappointed with my experience as I've seen such great things from other locations from this chain. read more

When I found out there was a new AYCE conveyor belt sushi location in NJ, I had to come check it out. My family and I came on a weekday night, but it was still packed. Fortunately, we were able to be seated much more quickly than we were originally told. The positives from my experience: our server Gianna was fantastic. She was extremely friendly, checked in on us often, and helped with anything we needed. There is a good variety of both raw and cooked food options. It's nice that you can get food from the conveyor belt and order from the IPad as well (gets delivered by the robot waiters or sushi trains). The negatives and things that could be improved: the nigiri sushi had a lot of rice and relatively thin slices of fish. Anything that came with rice was disproportionately heavy on rice. The orders we placed on the IPad took a very long time to arrive. Some of them didn't come for 30-45 minutes. Given that there is a 100 minute time limit, that really sets you back. It would also be more convenient if you could see which items you ordered had been delivered so far. Once you place several orders, it can be difficult to remember what came and what didn't. Depending on where you are seated, it can also be difficult to get food from the conveyor belt. We were further down the line and often had phases of just empty containers or the same "leftover" items that people didn't want. Overall, I would give this place a 3.5 if I could. I think it has potential. It's new and should improve as the kinks are worked out. The price is also pretty good for what you get. read more
