I ducked in here for a quick, small bite before we had to head out to a big event.
The place was pretty empty but a few people were picking up to go orders.
We grabbed seats by the sushi bar and let me just say, the menu is extensive. There are so many types of sushi rolls here and they even have uni (which I don't see everywhere).
I got two pieces of salmon sushi ($4.50) and a fried oyster roll (since it was the first time I've ever seen it, also around $4.50). Both were really good and tasted fresh. Wish they were a little lighter on the eel sauce on the fried oyster roll though.
My boyfriend got the dragon roll, which was really good and the Philadelphia roll, which was decent. I'm not a huge fan of the cream cheese but that's just how the roll is made.
The staff were pretty on top of every thing since there weren't a lot of customers it seemed. They were all pretty friendly.
I definitely want to go back and try some of their other rolls and especially since they have fried red bean ice cream here!
This place was my all time favorite sushi place while I still lived in Union. Their lunch special was a reasonable price, and sometimes I'd get sushi from here 2 or 3 times a week. I've only had the avocado rolls and vegetarian rolls from here, but I can only imagine how great their other menu options are when they can make vegetarian rolls so good. Even after moving out of Union, it's hard to find a sushi place that beats this place. Absolutely delicious!
Good sushi, reasonable prices.
I usually come here for lunch and get one of the specials (3 rolls for $12). The sushi has never disappointed, and the hot foods (Yaki Udon, etc.) have been good as well. Service is fast and efficient.
Kyoto is a small place, and during peak times it fills up. If you're coming for lunch on a weekday, best to arrive before noon.
The food is definitely good enough to bring me back for more. My favorites were the sweet potato roll with spicy mayo and the volcano roll. Not bad. The Philadelphia roll was ehh, I guess cream cheese doesn't do it for me any more. And the spider roll has always been my favorite, I love soft shell crab but for some reason it was just lacking in flavor. But, like I said, the sweet potato and volcano rolls were pretty good.
Don't know anything or even care about what authentic Japanese food really tastes like? Then you'll love it!
Tatsutage is just bland sliced chicken cutlet.
Shumai is not made in-house and they're the size of grapes.
Sushi rolls are subpar.
Sashimi, beware.
Fried rice, drenched in oil.
End result = Acid Reflux and waiting to get hungry again to redeem dinner.
This is my second favorite sushi spot in the North Jersey area. Whenever I visit my friends in Union, I secretly hope that we go here. They introduced me to this place and I am forever grateful. It's fantastic and what a sushi house should be – welcoming and all about creating sushi and an experience that warms the heart. It's a great local spot.
The restaurant is small, but cozy. There are seats at the sushi bar and a few regular tables inside. The staff are very friendly and attentive. This place is BYOB, so the waitresses will offer to bring you glassware for your drinks. The food is fantastic and the menu is pretty extensive. I go in here with a small group usually, so we'll get a sushi boat and appetizers (gyoza, shumai, and edamame are very tasty!). The fish is always fresh and sushi/sashimi well prepared. They make a tight roll here. Also, it's not only delicious, but they have great presentation with their boats. Lots of oohs and ahhs at our table.
My favorite special sushi rolls are the Black Dragon Roll (spicy tuna, eel, avocado), White Jade Roll (crabmeat, avocado, cucumber and spicy scallop), Dinosaur Roll (king crab, seaweed salad, avocado, and tobiko), and the M-16 (shrimp tempura and asparagus with spicy salmon on the outside). Give them a try when you go to Kyoto Sushi II!
This is a Chinese owned sushi joint, so don't come here if you are expecting authentic Japanese sushi!
They do have a good selection of maki rolls for cheap. All the rolls are a lot more reasonably priced than what I'm used to in the city, where starting prices for each roll are in the double digits. Here, a good majority of the rolls are under $10.
My friend doesn't like to eat tuna, which cut down our options dramatically, but even then, there were plenty of different rolls to try. We ended up getting the phoenix, fantasy, spider, and monsoon rolls. Besides the spider roll, the rest were all quite similar, even though the menu makes it sound like there are various 'special sauces'. Still, everything tasted quite good and fresh.
Service was quick and friendly. They have plenty of guys working behind the counter whipping up orders, which is fantastic! If you call in an order, you might get to speak with the adorable little boy who works the cash register like a star even though he can't be more than 13-14 years old! 😛
Alright guys, let me be frank. It's only right to judge the quality of a restaurant, especially when it comes to raw seafood, relative to it's area. You're not going to get Jiro quality sushi in Central Jersey. However, despite having lowered my expectations, this place disappointed our taste buds and wallets. The sushi wasn't very fresh, the decor was old and tacky, and the prices were quite unbelievable for the quality of food. I don't understand why this place has more than 2 stars. But I did see every single table order a form of Chinese American food, such as General Tso Chicken and Lo Mein, so that could explain it. We didn't get food poisoning, so an extra star for them.
We will never be back.
