Came with a group of 5 with a reservation. Parking could be a hassle. It's only street parking and there is a lot you can pay to park next to the building it's in. It was kinda hard to find driving by at night. I didn't notice a sign or anything but I finally did make it there. Place is small and by the looks of it could get pretty busy, so I would say reservations are definitely recommended. Interior looks like it's 90% done. Not a place that's really aesthetically pleasing either if you're looking to come here to celebrate something. It looks more like a place you just want to go to casually with whomever. I wouldn't even say first date worthy. Food is also just okay. With all the other types of AYCE sushi places like this I think I rather stay closer to home. Their menu options are all pretty similar to any other sushi place although they did have a few unique rolls of their own. I did notice though that they do a lot of take out orders. So if you live in the area I'd say check them out.

So AYCE sushi spots are usually a hit or a miss. This one exceeded expectations. Food: we mainly came for the sushi and plate after plate it didn't disappoint. Got to try a bit of everything but the one with the seared salmon on top was a hit for all. We didn't try any appetizers or know if they were even included in the AYCE menu. Don't remember if it was on the menu. The one with the soft shell crab was barely noticeable but still good. Some rolls had more rice than others but I feel like it balanced out well. Service: sushi came out exceptionally fast. Like 5 min after we ordered. All other places we had to wait much longer to get the food out and they don't always bring out everything we ordered. Not the case here. Presentation was nice, sushi was fresh and delicious and it hit the craving. What I really liked was that it seemed like almost all of their special rolls were part of the AYCE menu. Ambiance: the place can accommodate a few large parties but not many. On the smaller side but nice area. Not too loud, good place for a date or simply to catch up with people. Parking: very small parking section to the right of the sushi place. Can fit at most 8 cars. Parking is allowed there in the evening. We came at 7 and there were two spots available.

This is a well priced AYCE sushi spot with a large selection of regular and specialty rolls! I walked in without a reservation with my friends and we beat the crowd so we were able to find parking. As soon as we sat down, the place filled up pretty quickly. We were very impressed with how attentive the staff was and how quick their service was. The rolls came out minutes after we ordered. Everything tasted pretty good -- no complaints here! I'd definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for some AYCE sushi!

A peep!

How the mighty have fallen. When my wife and I lived in Hudson County, Arigato was one of our go-to dinner spots. I recall the portions being your standard sushi fare, but at an incredible price if you do the AYCE. Our last outing was tonight 5/21/22 and it will be absolutely our last. The rolls were literally just stuffed with rice, little to no fish in any of them. Not just the absurd way they are taking advantage of the consumer but they also removed several items from the appetizer menu, along with the ice cream scoops that used to finalize this once great establishment. It comes with a heavy heart to write this review, yet not as heavy as the amount of rice we had to ditch. It was good while it lasted Arigato.

Esther and the team took excellent care of me. They offered flexibility with their pricing, switching me over to the all you can eat option when I went over the bar for that in terms of what I had ordered. When they bussed and reset two tables in front of me, I couldn't tell who the manager was, which I view as a good thing and a sign of humility, competence, and care. There were lots of kiddos wandering around in an environment that was very family friendly and very safe. Thank you, Arigato.

Hands down THE BEST SUSHI THAT I HAVE EVER HAD. I am so happy we found this place. It was definitely a top shelf experience. Small cute place and clean - they make the sushi fast, and it is again top quality - both in presentation and taste. All good. Can't wait to come back.

Miscellaneous special rolls
Christine E.

Edgewater, NJ // Arigato has been old reliable. Food: Sushi cravings are always satisfied here. Special rolls favorites: buzzer beater, kamikaze, tebow time, NYGiants, geisha, playboy, volcanic erupt, Godzilla, princess, what the ???, what's up!! Service: Spectacular. Have dined in and out and employees have always gone above and beyond. eg when ordering out, employees will request for you to wait in your car. when ready, they will walk to your parked car (2 side parking lots or street parking) Ambience: it gets busy especially for dinner and weekends. Pro tip: it's AYCE sushi but I have never been able to eat more than 3 special rolls at a time. I recommend ordering out, buying 3 special rolls which is almost equivalent to the AYCE price and driving to a nearby park with a blanket on hand for a picnic

Salmon nigiri, spicy tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll
Theresa M.

This review is based on the AYCE menu. Overall, if you want good quality sushi for an affordable price ($30/pp for AYCE) this is a good spot to check out. I'm giving 4 stars because the menu was small - there was no miso soup, the kitchen items were limited, there was no sashimi options (only nigiri), and there was no dessert options. When you compare this place against Sushi Village or Sushi House in Teaneck, the options just are not as much. However, from what we did order, the sushi was super fresh and came out pretty quickly (which is impressive because we ordered for 9 people). The employees were extremely friendly and attentive + atmosphere as nice.

This is a great option for AYCE sushi. The rolls were good and came out super quick. It was definitely busy on the weekend but the wait was fast.

Left: salmon avocado  Middle: samurai roll  Right: two orders salmon sashimi
Jackie L. W.

TLDR Food tastes normal but sushi portions are small and inconsistent. I would not go out of my way to come back unless it was for a dinner box. The good: the dinner box for $24 is good value. We chose the beef negimaki and 9 pcs sashimi and it was served with miso soup, California roll, and shumai, all for $24. Good variety, would recommend this. The so-so: regular sushi rolls here (salmon avocado roll and salmon roll pictured below) are small with less fish than other comparable sushi places. The portion is acceptable but not great and inconsistent between different pieces of the same roll. The bad: sashimi portions. The price is $3 for two pieces of sashimi, which is not bad despite the smaller than average portions we initially received. However, the size is inconsistent and our last order of salmon sashimi came with two tiny pieces that looked as if one small piece of salmon sashimi were cut in half and served as two pieces. Those two small pieces of salmon were not worth $3. Definite ripoff. Also, their "special rolls" are extremely tiny for the price. The size of the roll was identical to a regular roll but double the price. I ordered the samurai roll and not only was the portion of yellowtail super super flat and tiny (see photo lol, this is laughable to be honest), the size of the roll was the same/smaller than my salmon avocado roll. When I go to other sushi restaurants and pay extra for a special roll, I receive rolls that are double the size as a regular roll. This small size may be acceptable for all-you-can-eat, but definitely not for a-la carte ordering. Finally, I think it's strange to not offer free tap water. Not a big deal, but this plus the tiny portions makes me feel as if I'm being nickeled and dimed.

All you can eat sushi
Adalise M.

My husband and I come here for the all you can eat sushi. I feel like that is the only way you can do this place. We have never gone there for hot food or a menu. It is our favorite place for sushi. In order to come, you do need a reservation and they will ask you. The sushi is absolutely delicious and fresh and the location is very clean. This is not a fancy restaurant. This is a place just for extremely good and fresh sushi.

I would recommend Arigato if you're looking for a lower-price ($30/pp as of 8/1/23) AYCE sushi restaurant in the area with a short wait time for food. On the plus side, the rolls came out only a couple minutes after ordering, which was a pleasant surprise for a packed AYCE restaurant during peak dinner time on a Tuesday night. Most of their special rolls were pretty good--I was a huge fan of the Kamikaze and Buzzer Beater rolls, definitely try if you're into spicy/crunchy! On the flip side, I do wish the menu offering for AYCE was larger. Compared to other places that are similarly priced, it was a bit of a let-down that they don't offer sashimi, kitchen dinner items, or dessert as part of the menu, and we didn't realize this until we were already sitting down. Little things to note: some of the rolls did also have much more rice than fish and we never got one of our orders despite reminding our server, BUT these could definitely just be symptoms of a very busy night. All in all though, if you're in the area, I say give it a try!!!

Nice place! Plenty of open tables on a Thursday evening. And the wait staff was friendly and…read moreattentive. There is a bar area where you can sit and watch them make the ramen. I got the yubu unagi and my friend got the yubu ikura. Both were really good, the rice used was very flavorful. It was a great appetizer. My friend loves fish roe and she said hers was very good. They are known for dipping ramen, but I didn't get that. I got the tonkotsu broth Ajitama because I didn't want that much meat and I wanted to make sure I got an egg. The broth was delicious, not too salty but very rich and umami in flavor. I love the addition of wood ear mushroom and the noodles had a great chewy texture. They have some claw machines in the front, it's $5 minimum spend which gets you 5 coins, each machine is one coin and there is one machine that gives you two tries for one coin. I ended up getting a prize! Not the one I wanted but was happy.

The Tsukemen Deluxe was flavorful and hearty -- more filling than I expected. I would skip the…read moreappetizer sampler next time and just order the karaage chicken, which was great and made with dark meat.

I would definitely come back again to try their spicy tonkotsu ramen!

The soft shell crab was yummy and perfectly fried but we preferred dipping it into the yellowtail sauce. The yellowtail was a little overcooked and not the best piece. My friend complained that the meat was too tough as it was not just the collar portion. I usually find overcooking the yellowtail quite difficult since it's normally very tender. The cheesy corn chicken was delicious. Love the little pieces of corn in the cheese and the texture and taste of the chicken. The interior of the restaurant is clean, bright and relaxing. Service was good. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have the Orion draft available. Ordered and the ever came back 5 mins later saying that's unavailable as well so I ended up ordering the Terra. The have meter parking in the back or the restaurant. Around $3 per hour and the restaurant will refund you the first hour. Plus if you pay cash, you get 12% off. I would definitely check the bill as there was definitely a discrepancy with the parking reimbursement and cash discount.

My son got a bit of a kick out of the random frogs they have placed around the restaurant. Food tip: Although they have lunch and dinner menus, you are allowed to order off the dinner menu if the lunch menu is not something you want. We ordered the fried dumplings $12, 2 salmon lovers, chirashi bowl, udon for the kids, chilled buckwheat and acorn jelly bowl, spicy octopus bibimbap in hot stone pot + miso soup and garlic chicken. Did we over order? Definitely yes. But we finished most of the things. Sushi in the chirashi set and the salmon lover was fresh and tasty, so I would order that again if we come back. Parking: street parking can be hectic but spaces opened up being it was a Sunday. The lot in the back didn't have a designated space for them, so it would either be municipal or street parking.

The service was amazing, with the waiters being very attentive and paying close attention to everything from how much water was in your cup to how clean your plate was Dinner started with light appetizers featuring a variety of flavors to get you used to the main course. Then, after a small palate cleanser, the party really starts.
