“I came across this sushi restaurant and it has been my go-to recommendation for family and friends. The service here is friendly and helpful deciding what is good to order. The salmon skin salad and carpaccio-tuna/salmon is a must try. Often times you try new sushi spots they can be skeptical but food quality and presentation is on point.“

“Food is good. We ordered 2 different sushi and chicken katsu. One of the sushi was served raw (as most sushi are) and I can't eat them cause I am BF-ing my baby. We told the staff and they cooked them for us. Good food and descent price. The atmosphere is good and quiet for a date night with my husband.“

“Loved it! The food was so good, fresh and well made. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We came in at an odd hour, midway between lunch and dinner and had we were warmly greeted and enjoyed a relaxed, delicious lunch. Varied menu. Plenty of vegetarian choices. The restaurant is small with booths and tables. Accessible. Parking nearby (paid).“

“Everything we ordered was excellent. The station roll is very tasty and the hibachi steak and chicken are amazing as well. Definitely recommend the money bags as well, perfect combination of smoothness with crunch.Kid-friendliness: Staff is very friendly, my kids love going there they got little panda bear treats to go.“

“I have only ordered delivery here, door dash to be exact. Everything I’ve had here has been absolutely delicious. I’ve had the ribs, the shrimp tempura, pork fried rice, general tso’s chicken and chicken and broccoli. All were absolutely outstanding and that’s takeout! Imagine sit down. 5 out of 5 stars.“

“The sushi from here is decently priced and they don't pack the rolls with a ton of rice either. I love that the price is good because I'm able to get more of a variety of rolls to try. The fish is fresh and tastes great as well. Definitely worth a trip!“

“Came here with friends and was surprised to discover a great sushi place with such tasty rolls tucked into a strip mall I have been to countless times.This is no hidden gem to the locals, the restaurant is always crowded, with a line out the door at times. Staff was friendly and service was quick, considering.Parking: This establishment is located in a strip mall, so there's plenty of parking.“

“Was searching for poke and JJ Delicacies came up. Tried it based on reviews (Yelpers haven't steered me wrong yet!) and this place was so good! I built my own bowl with 2 proteins. The ingredients tasted fresh and the portion was generous. The spicy salmon and spicy tuna were flavorful and the house sauce was the perfect addition. Will absolutely return! The service was fast and friendly. I took out, but there are a few seating options for those who want to eat in.“

“I went one time last year and so far 2024 have gone back 5 times. Well going back tonight and tomorrow. So that makes 7 times so far. I bring different people and the all love the food and the great staff. I highly recommend this restaurant, and you can bring your own wines. So don’t hesitate to stop in and enjoy fabulous food, you just may get LEO as your cook. ❤️❤️Parking: No problem with parking any time I went“

“We have been ordering take-out from Rainbow for two years. The sushi is consistently fresh, service is excellent and delivery is quick. Today we ordered steak hibachi for the first time; it was delicious. Even our son who is a picky eater cleaned his plate!“

“Some of the best Khao Soi I've had in a long time. Not enough Thai restaurants serve this dish, but it is so delicious. We got takeout, ordered several dishes, and all were delicious. Cool venue with a solid takeout system as well. Street parking, easy order over the phone. Food was fresh, spicy, and delicious. Overall if you are craving noodles or curry, check this place out and order this entree!“

“A nice little gem tucked away in the APA hotel. If you have a craving for Japanese food, this spot is it. (They had Fried Aji on their daily special the day I went ) I got their Salmon Ikura Don, Botan Ebi and Otoro a la carte, and their Black Sesame Panna Cotta. Food was pretty good, better than any Japanese restaurant in the main Edison area, but there are some little things to nitpick at. Some of the salmon was still slightly frozen (I went during lunch on a Tuesday), and I didn't realize some of the salmon would be slightly grilled. Thought it'd be all sashimi but that's my fault for not asking. I do wish that the veggies in the don came as a side salad instead of in the don itself. I feel like the veggies messed up the Salmon Ikura flavor profile a bit. The a la carte sushi were great! So delicious, but the Botan shrimp head came way after the botan shrimp body. Maybe their kitchen was busy, it's not really a big deal for me but I can imagine it might not be ideal for other customers. The Black Sesame Panna Cotta was not too sweet but I do wish the black sesame profile was a little bit stronger. Again, just me being nitpicky, I would definitely order it again! I will have to go back to try more of their menu items because they do have a wide selection of stuff I haven't seen elsewhere in Edison. Their service was impeccable. Something a really upscale place would have!“

“Sono has always been our go to for delicious fresh sushi. Tonight there was a delay with our pick up....it's lent. We get it - they even gave us 2 free sodas to apologize. Then 2 hours later they send us an apology text. Honesty and apologetic. Now that's a classy move!“

“My family and I order take out from here all the time and let me tell you, they’re consistent. The food is always delicious and fresh, and the portions for the price are unmatched. Our favorite thing to get is the poke bowl combo with a sushi roll. This place just became our go to dinner spot when we’re hungry and too lazy to cook. Definitely recommend!“

“"I recently visited Yosuki Sushi and had exceptional service and high-quality sushi. The atmosphere was modern and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The sushi was fresh and expertly prepared, with good portions and creative combinations. I enjoyed the spicy tuna roll and the salmon sashimi. Overall, Yosuki Sushi exceeded my expectations.“

“Upon arriving to the place there is plenty of parking, which was great! The outside doesn’t do the inside justice, very nicely organized and clean establishment with beautiful inside decor.We were seated immediately and our server was very friendly and took care of us a party of 4.I ordered the yakitori as a starter , it was delicious and tasty, perfectly grilled. It came with a peanut butter sauce which was really good , just not what I personally like so I swapped it for spicy mayo which was also delicious and had a nice kick.I started off with a drink and got an old fashion, it was tasty and strong! Just how I like it!I also had a seaweed salad which was perfectly seasoned.I then ordered two specialty roles the hot night and the ocean king (I swapped the mango for cream cheese).Both rolls were huge and I can say this is the best sushi I have ever had! You can taste the flavors were fresh and so were the ingredients!For dessert we had the vanilla, strawberry and green tea mochis which are all a must try!Will be a returning costumer.Kid-friendliness: Kids are allowed“

“I'm not usually a Sushi person but my cousin decided to take me on a lunch date to one of her favorite spots. We ordered the lunch special ( 2 orders of shrimp tempura, 1 order of crab roll) and we opted for salad versus soup. We also ordered a salmon teriyaki meal to share. All in all everything was delicious, came out quickly and service was quick. I love that it's also in a plaza with plenty of parking.I would come back here again to try other items from the menu“

“Food is very good. All the fish and everything was super fresh. Got the salmon tataki, beef sashimi, a couple of rolls and the beef sukiyaki. Would definitely recommend the beef sashimi, it's very fresh. The sukiyaki was also a huge portion! Would also recommend the spicy scallop hand roll! The service was really good! The staff is super attentative and kind.“

“I come here at least once a week with my best friends and there are a million reasons for that. Food is absolutely amazing and you can get a ton for a decent price. Service is insanely quick and efficient, they also refill your water like clockwork. Absolutely amazing. My friends and I have tried nearly everything on the menu and nothing ever disappoints. Ordering online too is great!! If I’m ever in the mood for great food at home, I order from here and it comes just as fresh as it would sitting down in the restaurant. Would give a billion stars if I could. <3“

“I’ve seen people in the reviews say this is expensive but that’s a little surprising to me, especially in an expensive area like this, I’ve found the prices to be exactly what you’d expect for a higher end lounge/restaurant with excellent food like this. Everything I’ve had from here in the dozen or so times I’ve had it has been excellent, although I do find the cooked food better than the sushi. The sushi is good but there are better places in the area that do sushi only better; however, for a place with a diverse Asian menu, which is usually the sign of bad food, they break the trend because everything I’ve had here is awesome, especially any rice or noodle based dishes.“

“Their General Tso's chicken is amazing! I stop by there every Friday on my way home from NY and I love it! And sometimes I get delivery and they are always on time and the food is fresh and hot! I highly recommend this restaurant. And they have sushi too!“

“I've ordered from here quite often. Great sushi! I always get takeout and it's always prepared really fast! The sushi is always fresh. If you want sushi takeout, I highly recommend it. I never dined in so I can't comment on that but for ordering out, I love their prices and their food.“

“My husband and I went there this weekend for dinner on Friday. The foods was delicious, the staff was super friendly, and the portions were quite large (i was able to eat mine the next day for lunch). I got the steak terriyaki bento box and it was so good. Great local spot!“

“Thankfully Sultans Palace has been open for all these years.Everytime, that I have a urge for quality food made with love. I go to Sultans Palace where the food is fresh and even more delicious than the last time. I am a forever eater at Sultans Palace. General sho chicken, egg Rolls, chicken noodle soup, and their Sushi is to Die for...Thank you for satisfying my hunger everytime.“

“I’ve been eating at this place for a while. It’s pretty good standard Chinese food oh and the sushi is always good. The reason I’m writing this review is because of their delivery driver. An older gentleman came to my door with a smile very friendly. After he handed me the bag he extended his hand for a hand shake and said happy new year. You don't see that type of kindness/friendliness every day. Give panda house a try good people work there“

“Always great food, super fast delivery & super fast when picking up orders too! Food taste & quality is excellent! Their prices are very good and you get a lot of food for the cost. We've been customers for about 7 years, love this place!“

“I’ve eaten sushi all over the world but I can honestly say they have the best and the freshest sushi out there. Very friendly service. The owner is always there to make sure that everything is top of the line. I highly recommend this place!“

“I love this place!We consistently order from here and they have delicious fresh sushi. The staff is always kind and accommodating. Nicole is an absolute doll and always tries to help in any way she can. This is my FAVORITE sushi place.Vegetarian options: Tons of veggie options for everyone!Parking: There is always parking and it's a free lot with many close spots, even on busy days.“

“I've ordered take-out about four times, and I keep coming back. The sushi is usually fresh and delicious; and it's a decent price for the quality. In my last order, the rice was dry, so I'm bringing them down a star for that. Other than that, the people behind the counter are friendly. They get orders out quickly, and if you order online, you get free rolls for larger orders. Overall, it's a decent spot.“

“The best sushi spot on Staten Island. This location doesn't get as crowded as the others, but still has the same quality of service and a great ambiance. When you order it to come to the house, you get premium packaging, to the point where even the bag it comes in is a keeper. The fish is very fresh, and all the entrees are great even if you don't like sushi/sashimi. My dad missed the sushi train, but even he likes coming here for the Scottish salmon. Highly recommend.“

“While it is 5 stars all around, I wish I could give 6 stars for service, the waitress was great, we ordered the clear soup (which was AMAZING), and she counted it as the complimentary soup with my Bento box, which was very nice. My lady relished the fresh and large chicken and shrimp (her signature Hibachi dish), while i salivated over the rare, steakhouse quality portion in the center of my box, accompanied with fresh sushi, dumplings and more. We both took a box home. The place was welcoming, chill and comfortable, and the service, oh, the service... We will be back!“

“I don't understand how they have the ratings they do. Their sushi and milk teas are amazing!!! The workers are quiet and to themselves, but they're not rude. They do an excellent job at providing what you need. And they're fast. I come here a few times a month. Def worth coming here!!“

“I have to say, we ordered in, and it was probably the hottest food I've ever eaten, I give them a lot of credit for making it so well. Probably one of the best chicken udon I've ever eaten, and the miso soup was super super hot. Teriyaki chicken was very good, And they do it really really quickly. Great job.“

“Dinner here tonight. Toki is located in downtown red bank. Great location. Staff were nice and accommodating. Interesting roll selection and quite extensive menu. Food - very good. Rolls were fresh and very tasty. Wonderful presentation as well. Miso soup was very tasty. Would recommend and will be coming back.“

“Best sushi I have ever had in my life. I’ve been eating sushi for decades now and this place was by far the best. It’s about a half hour away but I’ve made the trip twice this past month already. The quality of the fish is of the highest quality. I live near Xina and this place crushes that spot. They have toro and king salmon on hand all the time. Not only is the quality of the fish the best the creativity of their rolls is Also the best I’ve ever had. The upstairs portion of the restaurant is small but it’s nice. It’s BYOB which I also like. It’s also right on a busy street in red bank with plenty of places in walking distance to go to for a drink after dinner if you want.“

“This spot is BYOB. I thought that may be important to mention, although I always do takeout. I've had their teriyaki tofu and teriyaki chicken dinner bento box along with plenty of their sushi rolls and the food is always so rich and fresh. Their Godzilla sushi roll is very yummy as well. When I pick up my food, it is always ready to go and I never have had to wait. Highly recommend.“

“Had an excellent time at the hibachi table, 10/10 service, our server was nice enough to provide a sample of one of the cocktails for us. Just lovely, would recommend.Vegetarian options: Enough vegetarian options to satisfy your meal, just be mindful that clear soup has meat broth in it“

“The menu variety is good and food was very tasty. The chef(Jack) was entertaining in the preparation of the dishes and while the atmosphere was celebratory, it did get a bit loud at times with the large amount of children.It is a BYOB establishment for those who would like an adult beverage with dinner.“

“We usually order our Chinese from their competition across the street but they are closed for 2 weeks so when we got aki menu in the mail we decided to try it. We ordered the lunch special mixed veggies with pork fried rice and wonton soup and also got an egg roll. The food was excellent. The rice was not dried out and had good flavor. The brown sauce on the veggies had great flavor and the veggies were cooked perfectly. The wonton soup broth had nice flavor and the wonton melted in your mouth. Their prices are much cheaper than their closest competitor. We will definitely be ordering from aki again.“
