I thought the sushi was decently fresh, the servers were nice, and you get a discount when you check in!
This place was part of a large strip mall. It contained about 15 or so tables with seating available at the sushi bar. The service was good and our food came out in a timely matter. The menu was extensive and there was also an All You Can Eat option for only $22.95 which I thought was ideal. There seemed to be many options to choose from regarding the All You Can Eat choice.
The Sushi Combo for 2 ($29.95) was ordered. This choice contained 14 pieces of assorted sushi with Dragon and California roll. There was also a salad that was part of this meal, which was a typical salad from a sushi place, no complaints. All of the sushi appeared to be fresh. It was all tasty. The assorted sushi contained salmon, tuna, and shrimp, but I was not sure of the others. They were all great. The dragon roll consisted of eel and avocado in a sweet sauce. I enjoyed this dragon roll. The sweet sauce really made this roll. The California roll was solid as well.
Will I go back? No doubt.
After reading the reviews we decided to stop and try the sushi as we were traveling back from Philadelphia. We ordered several different rolls and did the all you can eat special. The portions are substantial, but I found the flavors to be lacking and the rice to be a little soggy. Overall, I was not thrilled with the food. We also waited what felt like a long time for the sushi to arrive. Overall, I would say the food and service were just ok.
one thing i love about jersey is how there are a plethora of all-you-can-eat, made-to-order sushi buffets… sometimes two or three in the same town. i've been to both sushi palace and sushi saga and honestly, both are great. if sushi palace is super busy, i'd go to sushi saga. if sushi saga is packed, i'd drive my booty over to sushi palace. there is no lose-lose situation here. enjoy!
Hands down my favorite AYCE sushi restaurant and I've been to plenty!
First of all, there was no wait on a Sunday! We came a little earlier than dinner time, but when we left, there were still a couple of tables open.
One of my favorite things about this place is their variety of appetizers. They had really really good appetizers from short ribs to crab Rangoon (my fav) and so much more! The fish here is definitely FRESH! Although probably previously frozen, it was still delectable. They also don't put tons of rice in their rolls or nigiri (HELL YES).
Service here is also great, got our waters refilled and they were attentive.
Now let's compare this place to their competitor: Sushi Palace. Sushi Palace is also located in Edison and its probably 10 minutes further from Rutgers than this place. Service here is better than SP because they actually speak English and come back to refill our waters. Food is better as well. SP: 0 SS: 3. I think it's even a bit cheaper too but holyyyy I'm craving again!
Food was fantastic! All you can eat for $29 including tax and tip which is a great deal. Come hungry! The food came out pretty fast and everything was delicious. I really loved their peppered tuna and dynamite specialty roll. Start off with the seaweed salad and edamame. Their spicy tuna roll was pretty good too. For dessert I had their green tea and vanilla ice, perfect end to a great lunch. Will definitely return if I'm in the area.
21$ for all you can eat sushi! The best way I can review this place's all you can eat is by comparing it to Sushi Palace. (Their menu is essentially the same.) Sushi Saga is slightly better than Sushi Palace- there's "fresher" sashimi and tad bit better service.
The sushi pieces are definitely on the smaller side, but they're packed with sushi and other ingredients. Their appetizers and hot foods, like the beef short ribs, tuna tartare, and tempura vegetables, are quite tasty as well. I want to shout out the eel avocado hand rolls because every bite had a good amount of eel and avocado, and was delicious!
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with this place, and will be coming back. I would recommend trying out their all you can eat sushi option!
I don't tend to like letting sushi buffets know when I'm headed their way. I've had a 3 for 3 history of sushi buffets randomly taking the day off on my birthday (not a holiday, so I did kinda want to check to make sure they were open before I trekked out here.
As my luck would have it, my call didn't go through, but I decided to take the chance anyway, since I've been dreaming about AYCE sushi for the last year or so. (Deprivation does this to you.)
I had…
-50 pieces of salmon sashimi
-5 pieces of white tuna sashimi
-5 pieces of red snapper sashimi
-1 Yummy Roll
-1 Tiger Roll
-1 Winter Roll
-1 Pink Lady Roll
-1 Crazy Girl Roll
That last roll's name probably describes me, at least when it comes to sushi.
This is probably the point where I should mention that I'm using singular pronouns because I went here on my own ("Party of 1! I'll start light, with 40 pieces of sashimi and 3 rolls, please!") I even wore sweat pants for the occasion, for maximal expansion opportunities.
The chef probably thinks I'm a monster. (I'm sorry!)
I also got to take advantage of the Yelp $10 for $5 deal, so my meal came out to $25 including tax and tip on a Saturday evening! Not bad, considering that I ate 100 pieces of sushi/sashimi, along with a bowl of green tea ice cream and some fresh fruit!
Service here was quick and they were very courteous. At no point was I given the hairy eyeball for pounding down sushi like nobody's business, nor was I cursed at in Mandarin. 😀 I'd call that a win.
All in all, a great place to get your sushi fix for very reasonable prices. It's similar to Sushi Palace but has a few more options, friendlier/quicker service, and isn't as crowded (at least, not as crowded as my 2012 memories of Sushi Palace, since that was the last time I was in this area).
Please don't hate me, Sushi Saga, and thank you for feeding me.
