This is always my go to when all you can eat Sushi is involved. Always fulfilling. Dont forget to get the green tea ice cream after you eat.

Phenomenal place I've been going there for years I've been there over 100 times the pepper tuna is my favorite besides all the sushi rolls they have and sashimi. BBQ squid beef ribs and you wanna a dinner end try the clay pot Always friendly staff. read more

First visit. Good prices and options. Menu was a little confusing and the waitresses were trying but did not explain things well when we asked for clarification. I grabbed a younger employee who was very helpful. Worth a visit! read more

So this place was really good pre covid but I've been wanting to come back here for a year now and first of all they almost never pick up their phone. When they do they say they're remodeling (since last year) but people are leaving reviews recently about coming to this place (within last month or so) and there is an option to order online so obviously the owners are picking and choosing when they want to be professsional. read more

Here is my half eaten green tea/red bean ice cream. Forgot to take a pic of the other food. Overall great food for $20 per person, all you can eat (week day price) Only problem is the language barrier from server to customer. 10% off when you're a student and show proof read more

went there last night and was totally impressed with their service and food. I know everyone's been comparing this place with Sushi P in Hamden, don't need to... this place is 10x better than Sushi P. I would never go to Sushi P again after came here, despite I only live 5 minutes away from Sushi P. our waitress was extremely nice and professional. Their kitchen dishes were out of this world and sushi/sashimi are fresh. We also had their special of the night( part of the all you can eat) and they would amazing. Sake also came with the meal with no extra charge. I would definitely come again, again, again, and again... read more

I don't want to post a bad review. But It's been along time now that I haven't been able to get ahold of the restaurant. Everywhere I check shows their hours and it says they are open. Phone line keeps ringing but nobody ever picks up the phone. On Facebook they don't update at all. Maybe in the Future if I get a chance to EAT here I will change my review. But it would be nice for the people of the area to know any news or info so we know not to waste our time. read more

Pretty good for an all you can eat sushi place. They also have unlimited saki for $7.99 which is a huge plus!!! The Pepper tuna, rock shrimp and Beef tips were delicious. The specialty rolls were good although I noticed they don't always make them as described. We ordered two different specialty rolls at first since we didn't want to order more than we could eat. They charge you if you leave over five pieces. We order another set of rolls and it only had avocado and cucumber inside when there should have been salmon. We didn't like it so we ate what we could. We also order sushi but it had to much rice so we only ate the fish. They actually tried to count that as pieces we didn't eat. Other than that it's a pretty decent AYCE place with unlimited Saki read more

Sushi X - Spicy tuna and seaweed salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

See all

Went here on a date... because nothing says first impressions like shoveling food into your mouth....round after round. This place is pretty standard for AYCE sushi. I really enjoy their rock shrimp though with spicy mayo and the Fire White tuna (yes, you literally light it on fire).. it's a bit scary at first and I'm not really sure what I'm lighting on fire but it gives it a slight smoky flavor. All specialty rolls sort of taste the same. Spicy this..spicy that....avocado this..pepper that.... But believe me, it doesn't suck by any means. I wish the salads were in bigger sizes and not just a couple bites. The service was ok. A bit rushed at first but if you set the pace they kind of figure it out. Order what you want/eat what you order! I'll be back for sure... it's just...O-K read more

For the lunch special all you can eat this is a spot I like to go to once and a while. I enjoy the dragon and spider rolls, so I'm happy. We didn't have any water brought after our 1st glass but sometimes people forget and it was near end of lunch time. I do enjoy most the foods though so no complaints there! read more

Here's the rub... Sushi X is awesome and I've been there many, many times. It's an all you can eat sushi place where the sushi is made to order. This means that you fill out a sheet with what you want and they bring it to you. When you want more, they bring you another sheet, you fill it out, and you get more food. The charge is one flat rate. I always end up paying $25 including tax and tip. If you're going to eat here, you'll need a strategy. A big rookie mistake is to rock out an "eyes bigger than stomach" approach, which ends up leaving you feeling sad and destroyed. The first thing you need to realize is that the place is "all you can eat" meaning don't order a ton right away. Just order a bit here and there and ease into the situation slowly. There are two menus you can order from: the kitchen menu and the sushi menu. The kitchen menu mostly contains cooked food like soups, tempura, yakitori (chicken skewers), dumplings, and also cold food like salad. The sushi menu contains the sashimi, sushi, and maki. My personal favorites that are unique to Sushi X: 1. Specials (also included in the all you can eat flat rate price): Tuna tartar: It's basically a cake with two layers of spicy tuna and a layer of tempura flakes inside. Super yummy and served with avocado and mangoes on top. Pepper tuna: Pepper tuna sashimi with this kind of horseradish sauce drizzled on it. Super tasty. 2. From the Kitchen menu: Spicy seaweed salad: They took regular seaweed salad and added spicy mayo to it to make it thick and creamy. It's really, really good. 3. From the Sushi Menu: The X Roll: It's basically a cooked salmon tempura roll drizzled in spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce. Super ultra tasty... mmm so good. There are plenty of other tasty choices, too. I tend to like variations on spicy rolls since the spicy mayo adds flavor, creaminess, and sadly, calories. :) They have sushi classics like the pink lady and tiger roll or just plain tuna or yellowtail. And, don't forget, fried bananas and ice cream for dessert (also included). The only cons are: 1. It's a little out of the way if you live in New Haven since you have to drive out to West Haven. 2. If you get full after eating 12 pieces of sushi, then you're going to feel bad shelling out the cash only to get full in 3.121235634 seconds. This has personally never been a problem for me, though. :) Maybe I should see a doctor about that? read more

I have to be the voice of reason for real sushi lovers everywhere. Do not waste your money or time here. From the service (they actually told us to leave as people were waiting to come in!! We weren't even done) to the mediocre food to the horrible sulfite riddled wine. I would rather go to a good sushi place and pay 20 dollars for 3 good rolls than this McDonald's of sushi. I guess this is what happens when sushi becomes so readily available that it turns into an all-you-can-eat feeding frenzy. I decided to go here with a friend who was not familiar with sushi but wanted to try. The rice was bland. Every roll tasted bland. And not being a huge fan of putting "the crunch" in every roll, I was disappointed. If you just want to fill up I guess you should go here. If you really are an experienced sushi lover, don't waste your time or money. read more

Stay away from sushi X!! This place has the worst policy towards eating all of your food, although they give you mainly rice.. If you don't finish your food, they basically charge you double, so $46 to eat a pile of rice and a itty bitty amount of actual fish. Also, the service is absolutely terrible. The waitresses mean mug the hell out of you and are extremely rude. I had a horrible experience and will never ever come back to Sushi X. If you want a good experience for all you can eat sushi in this area, you need to stay away from sushi X and go to sushi palace or sushimizu. They are both cheaper and have way better service and food. read more

Sushi X - Pile of rice.. No thanks - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

Sheisty. I've been to this place several times, and each time it's gotten poorer. The latest trip was the tipping point... It's like any other all you can eat sushi buffet place in CT, but this one was just sheisty. My friends and I went on a Monday night; therefore we were expecting weekday pricing ($19.99). Wrong. We got charged for weekend pricing ($21.99). We at first thought it was perhaps by chance (though, it's pretty hard to mistaken Monday for a Friday, Saturday or Sunday), but when the table next to us also noted that they got charged weekend pricing, we weren't convinced it was a fluke. When we told our waiter, he didn't see too surprised or apologetic about the mix up (as if it happens all of the time). To top it all off, they added 18% gratuity to our bill for a party of 4! Who does that?! The wait staff never picked up our menus. We always had to flag someone down. Also when we received our order, we were missing rolls or received food that we didn't order. My suggestion: go to Sushi Palace in Orange. They're much more attentive and won't scam you of your money and are attentive when you are ready with your menu. read more

Good place for all-you-can-eat sushi - bonus points for the option of all-you-can-drink sake. The sushi isn't the greatest (rolls are heavy on the rice, and a lot of items are heavy on the mayo, probably to fill you up faster), but it's decent with lots of creative options, and I can't complain about all-you-can-eat for around $20. Some of the special rolls I tried were really good, and I liked the fried calamari a lot. All-you-can-drink sake is only $8, and you have your option of hot or cold. I came to Sushi X with a group of friends, and we had a pretty good time. On a Friday night, the place was very busy, and it took a long time to get some of our orders, but the staff was trying, and it kind of worked out because when we got full and were still waiting for a few rolls, we were hungry again by the time we got them. My friend made a reservation, which I would recommend for a busy weekend night. read more

Hmm where to start. If you were to come to me years ago and ask me about Sushi X I would have been the first person to recommend it. In recent years, I've come completed disappointed in not only the food but the service. Being a reoccurring customer with time you would think you'd get respect and gratitude for your business right? WRONG. After bragging about this place to many friends and coworkers, I would bring them for lunch and on multiple occasions the staff would lie and deny they have such a lunch menu, forcing you to do all you eat. The staff also has a rude attitude and seems as if they don't want to be there. It's one thing lying to a new customer but trying to fool a loyal one, not a good idea After this happening many times I decided I wouldn't return. About a month ago I was sick and was craving miso soup. Being desperate I called sushi x to ask if they had quart sized miso soups for take out, the man repeated with confidence "you'd like a reservation for tonight?", wait HUH? This place may be cheap but don't let it fool you, there are a million other sushi places around with decent prices, delicious food and a great staff. read more

Wow what a fantastic selection!!! Everything was fantabulous!!! Presented in such an appealing way!! We can't wait to eat more!!!! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I love this place and have no problems giving them my money. I know the thought of "all-you-can-eat" sushi may make people question this place, but it is top notch. It's always clean, the staff is friendly, and the sushi is always amazing and delicious. Everything always tastes fresh and there is nothing cheap about this place. I take my girlfriend here all the time and order lots of sushi and they never fail to impress. This place is about an hour from where I live, but I have no problems driving that far for this place. I live in New Hampshire most of the year and I'm constantly looking for the New Hampshire version of Sushi-X but nothing compares. I love the endless appetizers, and sushi. I typically order edamame, house salad, and miso soup and I'd pay the $23.99 (or $21.99 for a week day) just for that. We never make reservations and the two of us are always seated within 20 minutes. All of the waitresses are so nice so we typically over-tip them. I like sitting at the sushi bar as well because the sushi chefs are also really nice. We get our appetizers within 5 minutes even when it is busy. I highly recommend getting the crazy girl roll, spicy tiny roll, tuna tar-tar, or anything with their pepper tuna. Give Sushi-X a try, and you won't be disappointed. read more

Another wonderful dinner. My husbands new favorite Japanese restaurant. Excellent sashimi!!! read more

Let me cut to the chase: if you're hungry and want a good Japanese meal including items from the sushi bar and kitchen, and want to spend around $20, Sushi X is about as good an experience as you would hope to find. First, the made to order version of all-you-can-eat is clearly superior to buffet style, particularly if you're going with several people and can share a variety of items (you have to order whole rolls, which makes sampling easier with a group). To be clear, the sushi and rolls are good but not great. I don't think it's fair to expect, for example, a special roll at an $18.99 all-you-can-eat to compare with the same roll at a good a la carte restaurant, where that roll may cost $12+. That would seem like common sense to me, but I'm surprised by how many reviewers don't see it that way. I've had sushi and rolls at a la carte restaurants which I found inferior to what's served here, so I'm certainly satisfied with the quality. They also usually have a couple of specials - I really enjoyed the red snapper with jalapeno on my last visit. Where I think Sushi X particularly excels is in the kitchen - the crab rangoons, shumai, and some of the tempura dishes are quite good here. For dessert, the choices are limited to ice cream, fried banana, and fruit, but I suppose chances are you won't have much space left anyway. I will say that the ginger ice cream was awesome. The service is speedy and friendly and very welcoming to repeat orders. And it doesn't hurt that some of the waitresses are quite cute! Again, this isn't the right place to come for the absolute best quality sushi or the most elegant, cutting-edge rolls (those self-proclaimed "sushi-lovers" complaining that this isn't the best sushi they've ever had seem to be missing the point), but for an all-you-can-eat product, it's excellent. The public seems to have caught on, as the place was packed on a recent Tuesday night at almost 9PM. read more

Sorry, everyone. My experience at Sushi X was decidedly mediocre. First of all, the service, which was practically nonexistant, was no better, and in my opinion worse than, Sushi Palace. They didn't even bring our edemame until after our sushi came, and by that point we didn't want it anymore and sent it back. As fas as the fish itself goes, the sushi was fine. Good fresh fish and they filled our orders to completion. However, the rolls were not good. It was basically just mush inside the rice. You couldn't tell if it was tuna, salmon, or what. We didn't eat them, and not because we couldn't, but because they were just not very good. It's nice that you can get all you can drink sake for $7 per person, but if you go with 4 people, that's 4 bottles of sake (which cost $7 each), so if you're not gonna each drink at least a bottle of sake then don't bother. The other thing is that at Sushi Palace, you can get edemame, gyoza, teriyaki, tempura, dessert, and other things in addition to the sushi. For some of you, it doesn't matter, but I like the variety. **(apparently you can get these other things at Sushi X as well, but when we went there were no order slips for any non-sushi items on the table) Anyway, I'm not saying not to go to Sushi X, I'm just saying that I didn't have the 5 star experience that many people on here had. read more

Ive always been a bit skeptical about all you can eat sushi places.... If all you can eat sushi is your thing and you prefer quantity over quality go here. The rolls had too much rice and were overpowered by sauce which ruined that fresh sushi flavor that most sushi lovers are looking for. read more

I came with a friend to get all-you-can-eat sushi for 20.99. I sat at a different table from my friend, but our tables were pushed together. I was going to pay for myself. Because we sat at connected tables, they wouldn't let me order a roll for myself until my friend finished. The staff seemed angry and did not offer us refills. The sushi was falling apart when I grabbed it and one of the rolls had too much pepper. My 2 sushi rolls took an hour to come out, and the manager/owner did not care! You can do better than this place! read more

I have been coming to this place for several years now - never a bad experience. Price is higher Fri-Sun. Excellent kitchen (hot food) menu, and nice selection of suhi, sashimi, and other items. Very quick service, especially with kitchen food. Free desert (ice cream). Nice environment, back section can be family friendly. Ample seating, but it gets packed at night and on weekends! They accept reservations :) Is this the best sushi place you'll find in the New Haven / New York area...no, there are nicer, more upscale, and more expensive places around. Is it really good for West Haven and an "all you can eat" restaurant...yes. read more

I have a sushi eating family. This is our all time favorite sushi place. The sushi is fresh and plentiful. The wait staff is attentive. I have treated several friends and afterwards they admitted they were amazed, not only in the menu, but the price! $20 for all you can eat! Keep it up! read more

I hadn't been here in a while because they started forcing everyone at the table to use one order sheet and all of the sushi came out on the same plate. That's fine when you're with your significant other but when you're with a bunch of buddies, it's a little too intimate for me to share off of the same plate. We decided to try it out again since Samuri on Rte 1 has completely plumeted recently. Well, we found out that this place has also plumeted! It took more than an hour to get our sushi on a Tuesday night. The sushi pieces featured a big ball of rice and a paper thin piece of fish. The Dragon roll had no eel in many of the pieces. The peppered salmon sashimi was like nothing I've ever tasted (HORRIBLE). The only reason for two stars rather than one was that the food from the kitchen menu was pretty good. Additionally, the staff was very nice. Although this place and Samuri are cheaper means of having a sushi meal, I think I'm going to go back to ordering from a menu at a real sushi restaurant, not these "all-you-can-eat" places. It's not worth the $10 you save! The disappointing thing is that both this place and Samuri were AWESOME about 3 years ago. They've both just tanked recently! read more

They charged us an adult charge for an 8 year old child because she was over 4 ft tall. I have NEVER been to any sushi place in this area that does that. Sushi Palace or Koi Sushi base it on age. I will never return. They also charged us a $25 "service charge" for 4 adults and 1 child and the service was not good. We did not receive multiple items that we checked off. Drive the extra few miles to Sushi Palace on the Post Rd or Koi in East Haven. read more

***Update again*** The quality and consistency has gone down very considerably over the years. I adjusted the rating accordingly. read more

I love this place. Always fresh and delicious. The beef ribs are amazing. All the items are small portions so you can try a little bit of everything. The staff is usually in a good mood and very attentive. read more

I almost want to give this place 1 star to balance out what I think is an absurdly high rating, but alas, I must be objective. I've been here several times, and to sum up my experiences, this is a place that tries really hard to make impressive and creative dishes, but overall fails to deliver consistency and quality. Image you just got out of college, don't really know what you want to do in life, but remembered all those times that you enjoyed sushi with friends. So you decide to open up a sushi restaurant without really knowing what it tastes to create those amazing tastes and textures that you enjoyed throughout college. Sushi X is what you would get. Granted, some of their dishes are quite good....they have some really good kitchen items such as tuna tartar, spicy seaweed salad, Korean style beef ribs, and some of their rolls (i.e. Snow White, Sakura rolls) are quite amazing...definitely try them if you come here! However, these gems are flooded by so many dishes that are mediocre or outright nasty. Their soups taste like it was made from dish water (wheres the dashi in the miso soup?!), many of their rolls are drenched in sweet sauce making them incredibly saucy and mushy, the quality of fish varies enormously from being so fresh and delicious to dry and fishy, even their (specialty) ice cream had a very strange, gummy texture. I know this is an all you can eat joint, so you cant expect top quality, and I know that to do business they need to offer a wide range of selection to order by the boatloads (literally), but I prefer to go to Sushi Palace, which doesn't have quite the variety they have here, but does what they have well. read more

This place is so obviously trying to ride the wave of Sushi Palace's success, and offer a much more palatable experience for folks more used to chain restaurants. It is like ... Sushi Palace crossed with Applebee's. So those who don't like Sushi Palace because it is too cramped, doesn't have good parking right outside the door like a good strip mall restaurant should, and doesn't have enough mayo or sweet sauce in its dishes will definitely prefer Sushi X. But if you want fresh fish, more shrimp than breading in your gyoza, and o my goodness, excellent service, stay very far away from Sushi X and stick with Sushi Palace. The service is the only truly horrible thing about Sushi X, but the food is all mediocre. We tried, but could not find, a single item that we could honestly say was excellent or even very good. Oh, wait. That's not true. There was one time we found something truly horrible besides the service, and something truly excellent. We ordered fresh fruit and green tea ice cream for dessert. The "fresh fruit" was a dried out tasteless quartered orange with some canned pineapple chunks. The ice cream was excellent. read more

Overall the place was good. It was clean, the atmosphere was nice. The staff was friendly and very attentive. As far as the food goes, it was okay. The appetizers on the all you can eat sushi menu was the best part! It was hot and fresh! The special rolls weren't that tasty. I ordered 5 different rolls to try and they all seemed to have almost the same taste. The special rolls were also smaller than what I'm use to. If I was in the area and craving sushi REALLY bad then I'd come back. read more

Don't judge from the outside facade of this place. It's in a weird sort of shopping strip mall. But the food is fresh and good and the service is quick and responsive. They have all you can drink Sake specials and all you can eat sushi specials which also include other items on their menu. Go hungry because if you don't finish your sushi they charge you the ala carte price if you leave four rolls or more. This is a great way to introduce a friend who's never tried Sushi before. They have vegetable Maki, tempura, edamame and all the other typical Fair as well! Casual environment. read more

Fell in love with Sushi after my frist visit here. I had a not so great introduction to Sushi during high school......it envolved food poisening. Needless to say a good group of friends decided to come out here for a team dinner following a crazy busy month at work. I was hesitant, but boy was glad! My wife and I ate here at least 10 times in 2 years. It was also the go to place when friends or family visited; we always get a, " hey, make sure we get to visit Sushi X before we leave." The quality of sushi is always amazingly fresh, their service consistantly great/friendly, and their price for an all you can eat just can't be beat! We now live in Gainesville, and have yet to find a Sushi joint that compares! How we miss you!! read more

For $20, you cannot beat this place! Not to mention it's top quality! And unlimited sake for $7! Best sushi place I've found! Only downside, they don't let the servers keep their gratuities! Secretly tip the girls in cash or don't leave a tip because the owners keep it. I've always had an amazing experience here, this time, the women who collects the money, wouldn't let us order more sushi until we ate all out rice, but wouldn't let us order our sushi without rice, even when they didn't offer it as sashimi. Unreal. read more

Sushi X - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

I like RJS's comments, weekday evening $18.99, weekend evening $21.99.. this is the best deal for decent quality, variety, service on the dollar around CT. (well, I was comparing to Fairfield county).. - service: Chinese waitress very eager to recommend good stuff to me once we started speaking Mandarin. she's sweet - food quality: not Japanese Omakase stuff but decent enough. only thing I didn't quite like are the soup and nabeyaki udon's noodle is good, but the soup is the same chicken soup, so not great either. chicken skewer (yaki tori) I wouldn't order again either.. Otherwise, pretty much everything we ordered are decent. I especially liked the Shrimp Tempura, Korean kalbi (sizzling rib pieces), and the various sushi rolls + sashimi is alright, my friend likes the eel stuff but I know it's probably just the freezer pack stuff.. still good .. nice creamy avocado on the rolls too. We went on a Thurs. late afternoon - evening, not too crowded and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there... wish they had desserts too! =) read more
