Sushi X is a fabulous AYCE sushi place. They have really great appetizers and the staff is quick and friendly. I've been to Sushi X twice now already and enjoy it each time I go. The place is very tight and will get crowded fast. Be sure to make a reservation! Definitely try the pepper tuna appetizer! Yum!!
I came here over the summer with a guy I was seeing. We were both starving and craving sushi, he opened up my world to this place.
It's definitely small and not fancy but clean and the service was pretty good. They were accommodating with the refills and removing our plates.
Beware if you don't finish the majority they will
Charge you for the weight you didn't eat. So
Try to under order you can always ask for additional sushi after you have finished your initial order.
I can't say the sushi was exceptional but it was good and decent quality:
The appetizers are really small plates so be mindful of that when ordering.
I am allergic to sesame seeds and they were able to
take care of that.
Overall it was a good experience and I will come back at some point in the near future!
Sushi X is cozy little restaurant in downtown Ridgewood. It's also BYOB which is always great. I did the all you can eat sushi and service was very quick. They have a great variety rolls and appetizers you can order. All of the food was delicious and fresh, definitely some of the best sushi I've had.
Mixed feelings about this place. Most of it stems from the fact that it looked kinda gross inside. There was a huge a mount of dust in several spots, and the area we sat in looked like an unfinished basement.
They have a really good selection of kitchen items and rolls – the best being tuna tartare: a pile of shaved tuna shaped into a heart, covered in panko and topped with spicy mayo. Tasted as awesome as it looked.
Another notable item were their beef short ribs. Although not slow cooked, they used some sort of soy faux bbq sauce, and I have to admit I kinda liked it. I would have loved it if it was slow cooked until tender.
While I wouldn't say the rolls were amazing, they definitely had a good variety. Quite a few items using mango, soy paper and more than usual of spicy mayo. Of course I had my usual rainbow roll, salmon skin maki rolls and spider roll, as well.
The service was really good. Our group of 8 were there for close to 3 hours on New Years Day, and they didn't rush us out. Also, someone in our group was a bit overzealous with her order, and we ended up with quite a few pieces. They charged us less than $1 per piece remaining.
Overall, not bad, but I would really like for them to clean the place up.
I came here this past weekend with my brother, who has been raving about this place for years. I will admit-paying one price for all you can eat sushi is an awesome concept and I absolutely loved that about this place. However, the sushi definitely did not taste as fresh as it could have. I'm a big sushi fiend (not a snob-I eat Shop Rite sushi almost as often as going out to a proper restaurant for it) but this sushi was just really ok. It didn't taste as fresh as the two other sushi restaurants from the area that I'd also been to in the weeks prior. It tasted like all you can eat sushi, which really was fine (like I said, $25 for all you can eat is so great). I just feel that for a Ridgewood restaurant, especially a sushi one, this one falls a little short in terms of taste.
I came here with four people on a Friday night around 7:00. We only had to wait about 10 minutes. The price is right at $25 for all you can eat. The miso soup was good, but the ginger salad was meh. Overall the sushi was decent. Definitely not the best and freshest I've ever tasted, but good. The peppered salmon sashimi was yummy. BYOB.
Avoid at all costs. I went with some friends after reading some pretty decent reviews and was beyond disappointed. The place is dreary and the hostess took us to a table near the back. This whole area smelled like rotten fish the whole time we were there. Being big sushi eaters, we all got the AYCE which was a big mistake. Everything sounded appetizing but nothing tasted good. Fish tasted old and anything that was fried was drenched in oil. We ordered tempura vegetables and nothing was sliced before going into the fryer. The large size of the vegetables only absorbed more oil so when you bit into it rivers of oil bled out. Definitely will not be returning.
I've gone here for years with friends and will keep coming back. I'm rating this for the ease of price and experience over quality of sushi. Remember, you get what you pay for.
The rice is not top of the line but it's still pretty well cooked. The quality of the fish isn't too bad either. I'm not a huge fan of their spicy tuna or spicy salmon – those ones are sometimes fishy tasting so I recommend getting the regular cut version of those fish.
Edamame – make sure you ask them not to over cook it
Order for apps: pepper tuna, tuna tartar, steamed shumai
The have a great selection of special rolls too!
It's BYO.
