    Lobster Tempura Roll 龙虾
    Michelle L.

    My son had a track meet in Toms River, so we grabbed a bite afterwords on a weekday. Place was spacious, not over crowded. We were greeted by every server who works there. We love sushi and eat out at least once a week. Highly recommend Uminoya for any dinner weeknight or weekend outing. Everything was fresh, beautiful and delicious! I have to admit we didn't just get lucky we have friends in the area that met us there bc it's their favorite in the area!

    It's been quite a while since I've come in and sat down at Uminoya. Came in on a cold Sunday evening around 7:30pm, so we first ordered hot tea. Note that most Japanese places include hot tea, but here it's $3 each (unlimited refills). We also ordered clear soup to start, the ones you see at hibachi restaurants. It usually has two slices of rehydrated mushroom and some scallion. This one was particularly rich and tasted as if it had a bit of sesame oil. Different than what I'm used to, but definitely grounding when it's cold. We were the only ones there as a family was leaving. Several people came in and out for pickup orders. That being said, our sushi came out with little to no wait - max 10 minutes. Ordered these rolls: -cucumber -vegetable -spicy salmon -negahamachi (yellowtail & scallion) -Naruto -Christmas The cucumber and vegetable rolls are always a fresh bite, great palate cleansers, and quite affordable. Unfortunately I deduct a star as the rolls weren't sealed properly and were falling apart. Spicy salmon was super crunchy and used fatty salmon - no complaints. The negahamachi roll tasted as if there wasn't any scallion. I wish the scallion was a bit more prominent. Naruto roll had a good amount of sliced fish inside, and the cucumber is always refreshing. My only critique is that it came in 5 pieces vs 6 pieces, which would've been more shareable. Lastly the Christmas roll is the winner: you can really taste the smokiness in the tuna. The mango adds the right amount of sweetness and refreshing factor to the roll. To top it off, the crunchy tempura flakes and the 3 different tobiko creates so much texture and flavor all at once. Since we had a celebration, we ended dinner with a fried ice cream with vanilla inside. Lovely tempura shell, vanilla ice cream was still intact but melted quickly, and topped with whipped cream and drizzled chocolate. Ambiance was quiet and quaint in an Asian fashion. Servers seemed like they did not like their job, but could possibly be that it was close to closing time by the time we were leaving. All in all, we were pleasantly surprised that the bill before tax was $50. This place still maintains its affordability even through inflation. If looking for a sushi takeout / an affordable yet quality sushi dinner, I recommend Uminoya.

    Delicious sushi! Friendly quick service! Nice, clean place. We were there for the first time and sat down right away. We will be back. The sushi was fresh and tasty. Although I will say some were cut much too wide to fit in your mouth. It seemed either they rushed or don't know better re the size. My husband got seafood lomein and really was happy with it. He also got crispy calamari. The place was busy, it was a Saturday night about 7 pm. That's important to me when it comes to a sushi restaurant- so there's a quick turnaround w the fish, and it will hopefully be fresher. It tasted great and seemed fresh - we will be back there again!

    Solid place for sushi in the Toms River area. The service is quick and friendly. The food is pretty cheap and is really good for being in the Toms River area. The sushi is decent quality and the bento boxes are a really great deal. They give a lot of food for a very affordable price. The location is nice but can be very busy for parking. Every time I've came here for the last 2 years I have not been disappointed so far. Would definitely recommend and will be back. Giving 4 stars not 5 for the food quality but will definitely be reassessing regularly !

    I have had both take out and eat in experiences, it is good sushi for a good price. The service was fine, and the ambiance is casual. I think it is worth trying to see if it meets your standards.

    Go to sushi spot in town. Good price, food is consistent, service is ok but they almost never mess up. Never know what you're getting with the music, however, have been coming here since high school. Sushi pizza was surprisingly good. Will always be my go to!

    I did a large take out order from here last night and the sushi was really good! Order was made quickly and correctly and was also half off which was incredible. For such cheap rolls they were delicious. So worth the price you pay. Really good and will definitely be back.

    One of my all time favorite sushi places. So sad that I moved 45 mins away :( But I definitely will be coming whenever I'm in the area. Amazing prices and great quality. I highly recommend asking for an eel avocado handroll then ask to add fresh salmon and eel sauce on top. Best roll you will ever have hands down. Also their Lion roll satisfies a salmon lovers craving!

    The sushi here is awesome. The rolls are huge and at a great price. They are always so busy which means the sushi is always fresh. The service is not always the best but you can't get sushi this awesome anywhere else. They have so many varieties of fish and vegetarian sushi options.

    We really loved Teresa's and will be back again. Our party of 4 had the coconut shrimp appetizer…read more The shrimp were hot & very tasty with the mango salsa. Between the 4 of us we got the sesame chicken, lobster/shrimp hibachi dinner, Luigi roll & spicy Cuban roll. We all loved our meals. Two of the dishes came with soup & salad that were delicious. The chicken was hot, fresh, tasty as was the broccoli. The hibachi dinner was fantastic, the lobster tail was large, tasty & there was ample shrimp. Both sushi rolls were very fresh & excellent as was the side of hibachi fried rice. We also shared the fried ice cream & espresso tiramisu, both very good. The service was great, very friendly & quick. It wasn't too loud, we were able to have a conversation without yelling at each other. If I had to give any criticism, I would say the tables are very narrow & it would be nice if they were wider & it was a bit awkward how the busser & person who filled the water were constantly standing just a few feet from us, watching us, waiting for us to take the last bite before immediately walking over to take our plates. I could understand if it was busy but it was not. We will definitely be back.

    First time visit. The service was very good. The decor and set up is fine…read more Enjoyed the Goyza and the fried oyster special as appetizers. Ordered the Sushi Dinner for 2. It was very good. I would come back again.

    I can't believe I haven't posted a review before because Koi is one of daughter and son-in-law's…read more'go to' dining out locations in Tom's River. We have enjoyed sushi and other dinner menu items. Honestly I would have given them four stars (With an actual rating just about 3 1/2.) but that was before going HIBACHI-Style at KOI! First, I don't need the show and have never been wowed by the food until my Koi experience. Our chef, Jacky, was great and funny! He realized that my 5 year old grandson was not into the experience and he focused on on the adults. He made sure we enjoyed all the traditional fun. A side note, it was really nice sharing the hibachi table with strangers! As the saki squirted out we cheered for each other and there in an evening around the stove we verified that humans can really enjoy each other's company as strangers. I will admit I was disappointed in getting clear soup, which everyone else loved. I missed whether or not I could have chosen Miso and I really love their Miso at KOI. The food was more than plentiful but more importantly it was delicious. Three of the group had scallops and they were so perfect... imagine the best scallops you have ever enjoyed because these were a match for the best! The diner getting steak gave a thumbs up and everyone was happy as take-home boxes were handed out. I had room for green tea ice cream ... We all kept thanking my son-in-law on the way home ... hibachi was his idea but next time it will be mine.

    Dd order. Fish is very fresh and tasty. Didn't go inside this time but it's very lovely inside…read more--clean and very cool ambiance with great staff. The dumplings were burned so that wasn't great but everything else was very good, especially for delivery.
