    Assorted appetizers
    Jay B.

    This was our first time at Sushi Saga and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the AYCE sushi! Food: all of the fried appetizers were good. Highly recommend the crab rangoons. All the the sushi was flavorful and very fresh, especially since it's all you can eat. I especially enjoyed the salmon nigiri. Ambiance: this is a small place in a strip mall. Definitely more of a casual spot. It's not a huge restaurant, so I can see it getting packed during peak hours. Service: our servers were very attentive and the rounds of food came out quickly. All in all, I would give this 5 stars on the AYCE sushi scale. We've been to most of these types of restaurants within about a 25 mile radius and this is probably the best one.

    Lead off review. 2023. HNY Yelpies. Sushi saga has become my weekly Sushi craving fix. With a vast variety of selection available, my cravings are always satisfied. Service is up to standards. Staff checks up on U periodically for refills or add ons etc. ambiance is your decor usually found in Asian restaurants. The place Does get tons of take out orders. They offer both a ala Carte or AYCE option for sushi. Their salmon sashimi, and salmon rolls are the best. They also have a spicy seaweed salad on appetizer which is very good.

    This place is so toxic! I've been coming here for years and even recommended this place to other people. It might not be the best sushi but this place is very close to my house and the price is not bad. Today, after a long time, my husband and I decided to treat ourself to All You Can Eat Sushi. We came in, everyone was fine. The waiter was nice and seated us, we ordered and we started to eat. Then, I noticed there a piece of hair on my salmon sashimi. However, I decided to not say anything because I don't want to make a big deal. I put that piece aside and continue to eat the rest of the food. As we were getting close to finish, I asked for another paper and notice the change in the nice waiter. I told my husband nicely, "what happen to her? She was so nice earlier and now she seems like she's in a bad mood." Not long after I gave my second paper, the other waiter with glasses and kind of chubby told me that they refuse to give me my second order because I did not fully eat all of my food from the first order. Mind you, I realize with all you can eat sushi places, they tend to put lots of rice on their sushi roll and all I did is took out the extra rice from each piece that I'm eating and put them to the side (I don't see anything wrong with that and plus, that's how I always eat it and they never give me a problem.. but why now?) I respond nicely regarding my concerns and she just kept on telling me that the sushi chef refuse to make my order. At this point, I just asked for the check, pay and leave. All in all, it's pretty upsetting how they're making a big deal with some pieces of rice that I took out. They're making it seem like I order lots of sushi roll/ food and not eat them. I notice that the employee tend to have problem with some of their customer and I never thought that I would be one of their customer that they attacked. The employees here, even the manager never want to be at fault. Instead, they will "roar" at you. They really made the vibe of this place feel so toxic. I hope they can improve on their customer service skills for future customers. Sad to say, I won't be coming back here. I would rather make the extra drive to sushi palace. Ps. Too bad I didn't even think to take pictures of the extra rice I took out because my mood was already down. They didn't even let us to order the ice cream dessert.

    This is my go-to all you can eat sushi spot. The food is fresh and good quality (confirmed by a Japanese friend of mine). Their rolls are well constructed and don't fall apart on you if you happen to be a soy sauce dipper. I'm a big fan of raw fish, but I've even brought friends here who don't dabble in the uncooked options and they enjoyed it very much! The all you can eat option offers a full kitchen menu to choose from as well as the extensive sushi menu that includes specialty rolls. It's also BYOB and located in a plaza with a liquor store down the walkway, so you can grab your wine and stroll on over (I love convenience). I recommend not over ordering during your first round. If you order more than you can eat, there's a surcharge. Instead, I opt to eat in small courses to ensure my friends and I are not wasteful. We always leave full and satisfied. Also, don't worry about ordering small amounts at a time. The servers will continue to bring you kitchen and sushi menus as many times as you need them! Dessert is good too: they offer fresh tasting ice cream with these teeny tiny spoons that enhance the experience. I know that sounds silly, but if you try it you'll understand what I mean. Also, my photos don't reflect the tons of sushi rolls this place has to offer. I was accompanied by a friend who doesn't partake in sushi during my last visit, so I didn't opt to order any specialty rolls (the specialty rolls are definitely heavier and harder to finish if you're picking at a variety of what they have to offer). The restaurant is small, so if it's a Friday or Saturday evening be prepared to wait. It's a casual spot and I will ALWAYS opt to go here when I'm in the mood for sushi.

    Have very mixed feelings about this restaurant but I will try to be fair. I should mention it's one of the few all you can eat sushi places that are operating in the area during Covid-19. That said, it's very difficult to get a table. Prepare to wait 1-2 hours, esprit a weekend. That said, the food is fabulous. They have a ton of variety for appetizers, sushi, side sides, and so on. I would really recommend trying everything you have room in your stomach to try. They actually have teriyaki red snapper which is pretty awesome. Also the sushi quality is fantastic and I have yet to try a roll I didn't like. As with most sushi places, the dessert is limited but you obviously have to try the green tea ice cream. Skip the fruit bowl. The restaurant tends to get very busy on Saturdays so plan ahead for that if you are planning to come. The restaurant itself tends to get packed. They do not take reservations so do not be fooled if someone mistakenly tells you on the phone that they will hold a spot for you. Otherwise, it's a great place to get good sushi.

    Surprised that they were allowing people to eat inside during COVID19 pandemic, we came with some friends so we were excited to finally have a chance to eat sushi since the pandemic started. They did an ok job at social distancing us from each other, we requested to sit in the corner away from everyone else. The food was delicious and we were so hungry so it tasted that much better. The one thing I have to really complain about is the time that it takes for them to bring us our food. They have two chefs so I think the preparation shouldn't be taking that long. It isn't even a full house. All in all I like coming here and this is my favorite sushi buffet spot.

    Randomly stumbled upon Sushi Saga after our first AYCE sushi option had a ridic wait. I had called and said there was no wait. We arrived and we were seated immediately. They had the usual AYCE sushi restaurant items- various sushi rolls, hand rolls, sashimi, hot appetizers, small plate dishes, and desserts. We placed our order of a few of the hot and cold apps and sushi and sashimi. And gave our completed order forms to the waiter. We loved the variety of the hot apps and omg they were all so good. The seafood medley was my favorite and it was served on a clam shell. Nice presentation. The crab rangoons were amazing with the Thai chili dipping sauce. The sushi was served altogether on a big platter. All were made to order and was so fresh. So delicious! Overall we enjoyed our meal and the food was great. Service was great and the entire staff was super friendly. We will definitely be back again.

    I love this place so much! As you can see from my many photos ! I have been back again and again so many times because it's really just the best sushi in New Jersey that I have found! I really recommend this place for a date night or for a family dinner or anything! Solo dates are also amazing! The food here is just so so delicious and worth every penny!

    If I could give zero I would. If management wants to keep the business open they need to fire their servers. Very rude and they don't care if you spend your money here or not. Also they didn't have any rice cooked at noon. NOON. when I walked in I stood there for 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged me. There were 5 staff in the back just laughing and talking. Completely ignoring me. Waste of money. The man followed me outside after I took the picture and tried to intimidate me lol.

    We decided to try this place from my friends recommended. All you can eat for lunch Fresh sashimi but the sushi rice was little firm which I don't like it. Disappointed The Peking duck and Crab wonton just horrible! Don't waste your space Seaweed salad and Red beans ice cream is amazing! Order is quick, place is clean. I think I will back for lunch special Sashimi but not for All you can eat...

    Great options to choose from, including an all you can eat option and regular menu choices. Our waiter was nice and the food came real fast. Overall it was nice to see the Asian paintings and atmosphere.

    My girls were craving sushi and I decided to bring them to this place a try . We were glad we did . The sushi is reasonably priced for all you can eat and everything has great flavors . They are open for indoor dining and we didn't have to wait at all for a table. The all you can eat menu definitely had some items you don't normally see from other places I've been to . We really enjoyed and would come back .

    Arrived at 4:30 pm (dinner time). Ordered different sushi rolls and they were delicious and fresh. The orders came out pretty quickly. Each person is around $23.00. Temperature check is done at the front door and the customers are seated every other table. All staff were wearing masks and gloves.

We had a party of 6 and still had to wait about 25 minutes for a table as the place is pretty small. Right after we sat down we accidentally spilled a glass of water and it took so much effort to flag down a waiter to get some napkins. They didn't even help us clean it up, we could barely mop up what was on spilled on the table because they gave us very little napkins. Then when we asked for more napkins when the food came out the waitress counted it out and gave us exactly 6, one for each person. As for the food, a big disappointment. The tuna was not the bright pink color it normally is and instead had a dark red/purple hue to it, a little concerning. The yellowtail and squid were super chewy. The mackeral was very fishy, which I understand mackeral is on the fishy side for raw fish but I've had it in Japan where is was the exact opposite. Honestly, the only fresh tasting fish was the salmon. The food was slow to come out even though the wait staff was very attentive with grabbing our menu orders. Most likely will not be returning.

I've eaten at Ottoyee for months now, and each experience has been incredibly delicious. However, the only thing is that the wait time can run very long.

We tried to get the attention of the waiter on staff multiple times, but was either ignored or they were behind the screen attending to something else. The wait time was around 15-20 minutes, but this is likely attributed to the small staff.

Upon entertaining on a weekend evening, there were a few tables with patrons but not too busy. The restaurant did seem a bit understaffed with only one person taking orders / bringing food out, making it difficult to flag down this one person to successfully take our order and ask for anything additional throughout the night. Gyudon: for the price, we were really surprised at how small of a portion this was. It was not only in a small bowl, but the meat was layered on top perfectly deceiving you to think that there was more than there actually was. The majority of this dish was rice, and with limited sauce at that. As displayed on the menu images it was to be served with a runny egg, but unfortunately we got a fully cooked one (disappointing, as we were looking for something to mix with the rice!) Sushi: We got a 3 rolls and they were just alright. They were pretty small in size, with less rice than I'm used to (which is something I do like - I would rather more fish than rice!) With us getting spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and spicy scallop - they all kind of tasted the same, so I wish the fish wasn't as heavily masked with spicy mayo. Ramen: I got the black garlic ramen, and it wasn't the best, but wasn't the worst. I've purchased fresh ramen packages in the supermarket before and it tasted just like that, so it made me disappointed knowing I could achieve the same at home. The soup itself was extremely rich and fatty, and the charsiu had no flavor whatsoever leaving much to be desired. The main reason I'm rating this so low is upon having my last bites of sushi, I could tell something was off. I don't recall which specifically I had but I made a statement that it was extremely fishy and off putting. Fast forward later that night, I was hunched over the toilet vomiting with stomach pain - and I can deduct that the sushi was the culprit. I might consider trying Ottoyee again due to the great deals they have listed on food delivery apps, but the sushi quality (quite literally) put a bad taste in my mouth.

So when a friend chose Sushi O for her birthday outing I was less than excited, I was told they had hibachi style chicken and steak so that softened the blow. Sushi O is conveniently located off of route 1 in a medium size plaza with a good amount of parking. When you walk in, the soothing dim lights with the soft purple icicle lights is such a vibe, great for a date night. The music also has a soothing quality that almost puts you in a calming trance. The restaurant is well kept and clean. Let me tell you, the servers? Top notch. We were helped by a man when we first came in, and later a woman. Both were incredibly pleasant, attentive, and did not rush us at all. We were there from just before 6 until after 8... a record for our after work crowd!! I also left my favorite sunglasses behind which would have been so upsetting, but our female server ran out to make sure I did not leave without them, I was so appreciative. Last but certainly not least- the FOOD! So remember, I'm a sushi hater? No longer! They had a fantastic peanut and avocado roll that I ordered with soy paper instead of seaweed (I really don't like the taste of the sea) paired with the soy sauce it was a nice amalgamation of flavor and texture, I thoroughly enjoyed it. We also ordered pan fried gyoza and edamame for the table both extremely well executed. A friend said the gyoza was melt in your mouth quality and I felt that was quite accurate. I tried my friend's sweet potato roll which did have seaweed wrap on it but I actually really liked that too! For my meal I got hibachi steak. It was a generous portion and very tasty. I'm not big on mushrooms but I even gobbled those up- so good! With the hibachi meals you get plenty of food- salad, miso soup, your choice of hibachi style protein, hibachi mixed vegetables & hibachi rice. I had such a great experience at Sushi O, I will definitely be back. They have officially converted me!
