Went on a Friday night for a birthday dinner with a party of eight. The restaurant was packed by 7pm, so definitely make a reservation on a weekend night. We all did the All-You-Can-Eat and we were pretty happy with the rolls selection and the food, but it's not the best place to go with a large party. They remind you after your second order that you would have to pay for the rolls if you don't finish everything. With a large party like I did, I think it's better to go to a buffet style like POC instead of here because the servers were neither greatly attentive nor friendly. They acted like they were too busy to serve our table, especially when we brought a cake for the birthday girl. Although they sang happy birthday to the large party behind us, they didn't bother with us, and just placed the cake on our table while it was still in the box when we asked to bring it out. I understand that it was busy, but the least you can do is take the cake out of the box even without the candles. Don't know if I would come back for service like that, especially for a large group. read more

I honestly cannot figure out how this place has negative reviews, especially the ones talking about the lack of service. My girlfriend and I just ate here for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The parking, food, and service were all fantastic. Parking: They offer free valet in a town that has basically no parking, they were carful with my car and prompt when I needed it. Food: So im not one to bargain shop for things like sushi, skydiving, or tattoos but I was willing to give this place a try despite their low price of $25 for all you can eat sushi. I actually felt better when I found out that they charge ala cart pricing for wasted food. For starters, included in the $25 comes all the soups, a variety of kitchen apps, all the teriyaki dishes, all the tempura dishes, all the traditional rolls AND all the special rolls, which go for as much as $15. Two special rolls and your over $25. The sushi was visibly prepared to order, and tastes very fresh. I ordered soup, a kitchen app, and 3 special rolls with good variety to start and i liked everything. Service: My Gf is a very picky eater so sushi is a bit of a struggle at times, but they offered to make her a chicken teriyaki roll, which is not even on the menu. They opened our wine for us, were super attentive, very friendly and kept our drinks full. Top notch staff to say the least Literally the only negative I can come up with is that they do not have a sweet potato roll on the menu. We will absolutely be back read more

Today is my birthday, and it is a day that I will remember for its infamy for quite some time to come! I would like to start out by saying that my family and I decided to make a long trek from Brooklyn to Edgewater, NJ to enjoy Arigato's all-you-can-eat option, one that is currently not available in NYC due to a continued halt on indoor dining. The last time I visited Arigato was for Father's Day over three years ago and recalled the food being excellent. We battled traffic for over two hours in order to have our first taste of sushi since Covid-19 struck. As a side note, I would like to mention that I am on a low-carb ketogenic diet and do not eat rice. The same is the case for my diabetic father. I had called this morning to make reservations to verify that the Arigato Roll (rice-less and wrapped in cucumber) was included on the AYCE menu, as it would be the ONLY roll my father and I would order. Once we got seated in what used to be the parking area pre-Covid, we asked for four miso soups right off the bat. To our disappointment, we were told that all hot soups were taken off the menu. We then asked for four teas and were told that they no longer served hot teas either. We then asked if the price was still the same, at $28 per person, and were told indeed it was. We asked for four bottled waters (they weren't serving tap) and began ordering rolls and appetizers. My father and I put down twenty Arigato rolls - ten for him and ten for me. We had intended for that to be our one and only order, as everything else was loaded with carbs. To our continued amazement, the waiter approached us and told us that the maximum order for any one table for Arigato rolls was ten. I tried to reason with him by stating that I was never told there was a limit on any rolls over the phone, that my father and I couldn't eat anything else, and that It was my birthday and it took over two hours to get there. I was visibly pissed off at this point, although I didn't mean to come off as rude. The waiter leaves and grabs the chef, an older Korean man with poorer English. He tells me, "Let's talk" and insists I follow him to the side entrance, next to the kitchen, where he accuses me of talking down to his waitstaff. I genuinely thought he had wanted to have constructive dialogue with me in order to resolve the ongoing issue, but as it turned out, he called me to the back in order to assault me! An older woman, who was a waitress herself, whom I believe could be his wife, held him back for nearly five minutes as he REPEATEDLY tried to lunge at me. The woman told him to go inside and stay put, but every time I tried to have dialogue with her, he would burst out again screaming and cursing at me! The unrelenting chef stated it's his place and that we should just leave or that he would hurt me. "THIS IS MY F**KING PLACE. GET THE F* OUT!" I have never seen such a brazen display of aggression from any restaurant staff in my entire life! Totally baffled at this point, I stated out loud how rude and unprofessional ALL of this was, and how I cannot believe that the chef actually wants to hit me! I finally agreed to the ten Arigato roll limit, only to be told by the lady that she can do only FIVE due to a large order that was JUST placed and there is a cucumber shortage. My jaw dropped to the floor, and again I tried to reason with words. Mind you, this entire spectacle took place in front of all the seated patrons, along with my family. Ultimately, we were intimidated and kicked out. Arigato and its staff should be ashamed of themselves. What happened tonight was horrifying! UPDATE: This establishment has since launched a campaign both on here and on Yelp to mock, gaslight and silence me by having people associated with the establishment post reviews as if they were patrons from last night. These reviews come just hours after mine and mostly from profiles with no previous reviews. ALL FAKE! Stop embarrassing yourselves. EDIT: A Yelp user by the name of Grace C. just left a review trying to rebut what I had written last night about my experience, falsely claiming to be a patron and falsely claiming I was throwing a tantrum and I am now playing the victim. The truth, however, is that the chef/owner was the one that called me out back and repeatedly lunged at me, literally threatening me with violence. Grace is no patron, but in fact, someone that is connected to this establishment. Instead of apologizing for being rude, disrespectful, and using intimidation and threats of violence, your establishment decided to use a Yelp account with no prior reviews to silence me by attempting to mock and gaslight me into submission. Guess what? It ain't happening! If anyone doubts the veracity of my claims, read all the other 1-star reviews that are buried among the others and I'm sure you'll find a pattern of mistreatment! And remember, Section 5 of the FTC Act 15 U.S. Code § 45 makes fake testimonials illegal! Keep going and this will become a libel case. read more

For an AYCE sushi spot in the Edgewater area it is great in terms of the quality of the food and speed of when the food is ready. Another great part is it is BYOB so you can get your drink on. They don't overload the rice to get you full quicker like many other places. Definitely get the "buzzer-beater" roll and the soft shell crab. Will be coming more often. Oh yea, ice cream at the end to tie off a stomach stretching meal. Service is great and decor is warm and inviting. read more

If you love rice this is your place In order to make money the sushi is mostly rice The other items on the menu are ok , the appetizers are pretty good ,miso soup ok , ice cream ok too There is nothing here that is great if your going with friends and want to hang out for a couple of hours hey don't rush you out This place has a few good points Service is excellent and attentive Food just ok by Japanese standards But it's all you can eat so that should tell you something If you want really great Japanese you will need to spend a little more money elsewhere read more

Sigh... I took my girlfriend here hoping it would be good. Unfortunately, the food was not good. Nothing against the business but one of the rolls actually had just rice..not even joking.. just save your money. This is not a place to enjoy sushi..wasted my money. read more

Probably my favorite ayce sushi restaurant! I've been to many and this place has not disappointed me. The quality is pretty good and lots of delicious types of rolls to try out. I live an hour away from here but it's worth the drive to eat here! I tell all my friends and family about this place and they enjoyed it too. read more

We were a walk-in party of 6 and they accommodated us quickly and efficiently. In our first order, we ordered somewhere between 20-30 different items as we all opted in for the AYCE. Though we expected the miso soup to be served right away, we were blown away by how fast we received all of our food. Before we knew it, the table was covered in large plates of rolls and appetizers. The food itself was simple and the special combination rolls were what you would expect. Tasty nonetheless. Service was attentive and quick. They were a little hesitant with the amount of rolls we ordered, and the server asked several times "are you sure" and "have you been here before?" It wasn't an invalid question, but a little uncomfortable that they asked so frequently. Also note, Edgewater is not known for it's ample parking because their really isn't much. I would come back in the future with friends. read more

Such an awesome deal, $25 for all you can eat sushi that is made to order - can't beat it! It's gets better, its BYOB. Every roll we've had is so tasty and fresh, my personal favorite is the buzzer beater, my husband's is the kamikaze, and the spicy white teriyaki appetizer is amazing but there are honestly just too many to name! Its always very busy so make sure you make a reservation especially if it's a Friday or Saturday night. The service is great, the sushi and all of the apps are fantastic, and the atmosphere is clean and casual. read more

The best sushi restaurant I have been to in the NJ/NY area, we ordered over 3 plates of AYCE sushi, the staff was incredible and took into account my celiacs disease and offered me gluten free soy sauce. One of my favorite places to get amazing food. read more

Solid sushi spot. Let me just say, this is the spot for All You Can Eat. I LOVED their tempura, fried tuna + specialty rolls. Highly recommend! read more

I enjoyed the atmosphere, lovely restaurant with very friendly and quick service. Salads were fresh. Food was not overly fried or soaked in oil. However, both the salmon and chicken teriyaki were overcooked and not tasty. The Samarai and Arigato rolls were very good, but Arigato tasted "fishy." The Mansfield square roll wasn't that good. Other appetizers like dumplings were ok. My husband loved the lightly battered shrimp and vegetable tempura. All in all, perhaps my expectations were too high, but I wasn't very impressed by the food itself. read more

So typically when they say all you can eat sushi you think bottom of the barrel stuff. That's not the case here! They make you the freshest rolls ever and they don't spare anything. It's byob to bring your fav drink and get ready to be in sushi heaven. Definitely a repeat place. read more

Best all you can eat sushi place I know! I'm going there again tomorrow night! Everything always tastes awesome and fresh and it is prepared quickly. The staff is also sweet as can be!!! read more

best bang for your buck! so my family came to visit from out of town and are fans of sushi. we, a party of 11... oops!, went to a nearby sushi spot (won't name any names because i personally love it there) couldn't fit our big family in for the night! such a bummer. i called arigato, they told me they take reservations and told us to come on over. i repeated myself twice about how many we were and they said yes! we walk in and a table is set up for us already :) some of us were skeptical of the $25 ALL YOU CAN EAT special but ended up doing it because 1. DELICIOUS 2. best deal since one roll is like $13 and who only has ONE roll? lol! our whole family was so happy with the food and the overall time in arigato. there were THREE servers on the floor and omg they ran that place so quickly and efficiently. A++ also, our server was Jayung (sp?) and she was so friendly and sweet. it was wonderful! will definitely come back! read more

My favorite AYCE sushi place for $25 which includes l appetizer, sushi and dessert! Unlimited tea as well. Only sucky part is the parking... Valet parking for real?! There is street parking sometimes. Other than that, their AYCE menu is limited but i actually like it like that! Been there twice, and i will definitely go back again! Their sushi and appetizer is to die for especially their salad and teriyaki salmon and shrimp. My mouth is salivating as i write this haha! I recommend to go there on the weekday since it is less crowded and their VERY kind waiters/waitresses can pay more attention to your stomach lol! read more

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE TONIGHT!!!!!!! THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR PREGNANT WOMEN! IT IS DIGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been here plenty of times for dinner and it has been great but, not tonight. I attended with my family for the first time a month ago and couldn't do all you can eat because I'm pregnant and can't have raw fish so, I ordered from the regular menu, no issues. BUT TONIGHT IT WAS EMBARRASING!!!!!! When we sat down I asked for a regular menu and the waiter told me if everyone is doing all you can eat you have to as well. I explained I'm pregnant and need to order from a regular menu as I've done this before. The waiter let me order from the regular menu. My family received their apperitzers and sushi while I was still waiting for mine. Me being 8 1/2 months pregnant I was hungry and had a piece of chicken from the appetizers! The manager came over and he was very rude. The manager proceeded to tell my family and I that we were being watched and saw me take something from the appetizers and will be charged for all you can eat sushi, on top of what I ordered. I told the manager that I was pregnant and was hungry while I waited for the food. He did not care and was rude that I would have walked away from the table. I WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE! ITS SAD THAT THEY NEEDED MY MONEY THAT MUCH TO CHARGE ME ALL YOU CAN EAT PRICE FOR HAVING A PIECE OF CHICKEN FOR FEEDING MY UNBORN CHILD THAT IS GROWING INSIDE OF ME!!! I WOULD NEVER COME BACK HERE! VERY DIGUSTING MANAGER AND NO RESPECT FOR PREGNANT WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This place was.... underwhelming. The service was excellent. The staff was very friendly and understanding, and our food came in a very timely manner, but it really just isn't worth it. The rice is way too sticky and soft, and it's incredibly difficult to eat. Towards the end of our meal, the rice on the Doctor Carla roll and the Princess roll tasted a wet, old rag. We couldn't tell what specific ingredient was causing it, but it really ruined our meal. I wouldn't come here again. read more

To whom it may concern, actually I believe it concerns everybody if you're about to be at this so-called fine establishment. I took my wife here for dinner as it was both of our first times. It's actually funny because the first thing they asked us was just that. You would think that they would at least try to make the so-called sushi they serve better but it was awful. First off, so-called called because of Covid they removed half of the appetizer choices including miso soup. The sushi is basically 99.9% rice and .01% fish clearly a way for them to cut cost. Never coming here again, save your money. read more

Excellent sushi! Great price! Good service! I would come back any day...place for family dinner, date or friend get together. Also BYOB read more

If you like rolls and you'd like to have many of them, this is the BEST place. NY Giants is a very unique one and if you want to cut down on carbs order the Arigato roll (rolled in cucumber instead of rice) and they have hot food as well like Salmon teriyaki, tempura and more. They are open till Midnight, bring your own bottle of Sake and enjoy all you can eat for $25! We crave this place at come at least twice a week. read more

Arigato - Delicous Kamikaze roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

First time here and will definitely be back! Very quick service. The sushi was delicious and so fresh! We got about 7 different rolls from regular to special rolls and a few different apps - all were great! Our fav roll was the Princess - if you like mango definitely try. Can't beat the price for all you can eat. They even give you a small scoop of ice cream at the end (if you have some room left lol) Had red bean - delicious. Also BYOB - always a plus! Can't wait to come back again. read more

Came here on a whim for dinner. I was surprised at how modern and clean the restaurant was in sense of decor. Has an upscale vibe with a laid back presence. Staff was friendly and attentive. This place is obviously family owned as family members were part of the staff. Valet parking is available after 5pm. As far as food is concerned... All you can eat sushi at 25$ per person WITH dessert is great pricing and the options available on specialty rolls are numerous . Sushi was fresh and delicious and portions were generous. For those who aren't interested in an all you can eat option, there is a regular menu with a la carte items. This is a great place for a casual date night or trendy lunch. I highly recommend the all you can eat menu but please take note that the portions are a full size and shareable so individual orders for single items are not necessary at a table. read more

I've been coming here since they opened and I don't plan on changing that. You can't beat AYCE sushi and BYOB. For starters the whole staff is friendly and welcoming. They all take care of each other's table and work together as a team nicely. They have a nice selection of special rolls and regular rolls along with individual pieces. They also have appetizers such as shumai, gyoza, miso soup and much more. All of this is included for $25!!! I have a few favorite rolls and usually stick to the same ones when I order. The rolls all taste great and they come out pretty quickly. What The roll is one of my favorites! After you have stuffed your face with sushi they give you complimentary ice cream which you can choose from vanilla, chocolate, green tea and red bean flavors. I love the vanilla and chocolate and their red bean although as of last week they changed vendors on their red bean so it's suppose to be not as great as before :( Overall, come hungry and BYOB! read more

This was my first experience at Arigato, and with sushi at all. I came based off a recommendation from a friend glowing from all the sushi she ate for all you can eat. The sushi was great! They did give a disclaimer that whatever food left over would be charged full price for wasting food. As a food enthusiast I do appreciate this but it does make you a bit hesitant to really eat all you can eat. Besides the sushi I will say the sides were not great.Edamame was unsalted with not much of a flavor, chicken teriyaki was also not super flavorful and served without any rice. Vegetable gyoza was not great so as a new sushi eater I would probably find another sushi spot with more sides with more flavor. read more

Anything all you can eat is a win in my book. I go there so often and I'm from across the bridge.... LOL read more

If you like lots of Rice on your tiny piece of sushi this is the place for you. They have a wacky system of all you can eat for flat $25./pp. but what ever you over order and don't eat you pay for separately. That's all well and good except you get 97% rice ..ok maybe 95% rice on small thin sliver of fish sushi . Again if your OK with mostly rice then your rice heaven. Personally I'd rather pay more and have a reasonable slice of fish . Monster roll = rice. High point it's BYOB. Time to hit the ruffage to blow this plug out read more

It was average AYCE sushi, nothing mind-blowing. I liked that there were appetizers included in the AYCE menu, but they got our order wrong when we were the only people in the restaurant. Can't beat the price though! Will probably be back. read more

I honestly don't know why this place has this much stars and reviews. The sushi is definitely not fresh and DO NOT get the "all you can eat" option because it's a waste of money. I paid $28 for it and I was forced to eat everything because I didn't want to pay more for wasting food (they require you to pay if you don't eat). If you're the type of person who enjoys eating good sushi, I strongly suggest you not to go there. read more
