I've been frequenting Asian Island for almost five years now, and I'm so surprised I haven't taken…read morethe time until now to pen my thoughts. This is hands down the most consistent and high quality sushi restaurant that I've encountered in the northern NJ area. I keep coming back, despite a few other great options that are actually closer to me. I tried a very expensive venue on Rt. 10 in Whippany this past week (you can guess which one), but I will always prefer the Island. Fresh rolls with so much variety, you can get lost in the menu. The Monster Symbol Ball and the Tuna Dumplings are just to die for - so much robust flavor. Their standard rolls and sashimi are fantastic, and they will deliver as much wasabi as you request. It's on point and fantastic. The chefs behind the counter are never too busy to give you a nod and a courtesy greeting, and the wait staff are just so pleasant and willing to make your dining experience best it can be. BYO wraps it up, and they are happy to give you beer or wine glasses as needed. Only thing our group didn't care for was a fatty tuna special, and they were so concerned to hear this they offered to take it off our bill. That's customer relations right there! Please try this place! I've been wanting to also try Sushi Ya, but I just cannot bypass Asian Island to do so. It's a real problem. You need to try this place!!!

Dinner in Sparta, New Jersey…read more.. My friend and I were driving past the post office when I saw Asian Island in the corner of the strip mall. I asked her if we could take a look... sure! She saw that Bubble Tea was advertised in the window... she wanted one, so we went inside... The environment was really beautiful and welcoming! Staff were very friendly and helpful! I ordered the Japanese Wonton and shrimp noodles, unagi sushi, and ikura sushi. Everything tasted delicious and had great presentation! My friend and I had a nice conversation alone... without the family, friends, and event planning... LOL!

Okay this place... total hidden gem…read more They've got everything--Chinese, Japanese, Thai, sushi--and somehow it's ALL AMAZING. Like, actually fresh, not "we say it's fresh" fresh. You can taste the difference. The waitress is amazing too. Super nice, quick, on top of everything without being annoying. You never have to wait or flag anyone down, which honestly makes the whole experience better. And the portions... huge. Like you're definitely taking food home. Prices are really reasonable too, especially for how much you get. It's one of those places you can go for a date or bring the whole family and it just works either way. I'd recommend this to anyone !

We ordered the "all you can eat" special. All items were exceptionally fresh and beautifully plated. Great dipping sauce for lightly battered, crispy veggie tempura. Gyoza with thin wrapping enabling the taste of the filling to be the star. Fried calamari rings that were piping hot and yummy. Sashimi that was just about perfect: my test always is the salmon sashimi, and it exceeded my expectations, with slices that showcased the flavor and a smooth texture. Our only disappointment - and a minor one at that - were the rolls including eel where that flavor was masked by the veggies. Well done, Zen Sushi! On our stop when we return to the area and definitely an experience we will recommend to others.

The entrance has a bar for people to pick up their orders so it makes it easier. There's plenty of parking, but beware that you have to drive around the building to exit the lot. We got their Angry Dragon, Tuna Lover, and the Bagel Roll. The Bagel roll was a bit too rich for me, since it is deep fried, but it was interesting to try. The Angry Dragon was definitely my favorite! The tempura inside was great and the sauce on top complimented the roll. The Tuna Lover was very fresh and lean so a great choice if you want something that'll fill you up.

While everything was fresh and excellent, the standouts were the Margrena Roll & Fire Fighter Roll. We reordered more of them. The shrimp tempura appetizer was solid and the seaweed salad was good but I've had better. I really enjoyed the experience. It's a deal in terms of sushi and worth trying.

I stopped…read moreby for lunch with my top-tier chum, a native of the Kingdom of Sussex who has been here before and has spoken highly of it. I don't know why I was surprised to discover this was in a strip mall, but that's on me. A nice one, at least. The place was relatively busy but we were able to secure a table easily with zero wait time. Pleasant vibes inside. I don't mean this as an insult at all but I was expecting more ethnic decor in line with the restaurant's menu - instead, it's pretty Americanized and feels like a classic suburban NJ establishment. I liked the painted brick on the lefthand side that has Blue Spice's logo/sign on it; spiffy. The bathroom was also a high point, which is...not something I say often. It was very clean and smelled nice, and I liked the dark cruise-ship lighting vibe. We decided to split the scallion pancake app, which was an excellent decision. I work in the city and regularly have this item from a place in Chinatown, and I honestly thought this was better, mostly because it was thicker/denser than what I'm used to. Super tasty and would get that again in a heartbeat. Giant portion as well - we split the pancake, which was roughly the size of a small pizza. My chum had leftovers there, I did not; so it goes with us. I've had a few mediocre chicken katsu experiences of late, so this seemed like a chance for redemption. I ordered the Akiko Curry entree, which was their spin on chicken katsu curry. Honestly wasn't my favorite. Again, a HUGE portion here and was only able to finish about 60% of it despite having a pretty legit appetite coming in. And the presentation value is excellent as well, as far as that goes. This could easily just be a personal palate preference, but I wasn't crazy about the curry itself (which had a weird tang to it) and didn't resemble the standard curry I'm used to with this dish. Also, as you can see from the attached, the curry is basically on the side of the dish, separated from the chicken and rice. Because of that, the chicken is on the dry side, which is my primary beef (pun?) with the item to begin with. So a miss for me, but I could see why other people would like this (and apparently do). The service was excellent, full stop. Our waitress was very nice and personable; she had strong command of the menu and you could see her consistently engaging with other patrons throughout our meal as well. She took several group photos so this is apparently a Kingdom of Sussex hot spot for that, which I wouldn't have guessed. She was so good both of us remarked on it multiple times during the meal, which is a rarity. But a great example of hospitality markedly improving an experience and making what was already an overall positive situation that much better. Huge marks there. Would definitely come back but would explore other parts of the menu once I feasted on the scallion pancake.
