Shredded tempura veggies?
Nick C.

Went to Choo Choo Train sushi for lunch on a Monday. It's pretty gimmicky, but the service is good. You can sit at the bar, where you grab plates off the train track. All plates from the train are $5, but it's not like any of the plates are labeled, so you don't know what you're actually getting. Regardless, I tried a few plates from the train to go along with my bowl of udon. The rolls i tried were average, as was the udon. For the price and food quality, I might as well have gone to one of the AYCE sushi places in the area.

Very cute place with an eye for details. Its great for kids. Highlights: 1. they had fries and chicken fingers on the menu which my kids loved. The little one doesn't appreciate sushi yet so it was nice to have options for him. 2. They had a paper table cloth and crayons for the kids. They could draw as much as they wished - which they did. 3. In the bathroom - they had plastic wrap for sanitation and warm seats. They also had little ducks in soap dispensers that got my kids attention. 4. There is, of course, a sushi train that was a lot of fun for the little ones to watch. 5. There is cotton candy with many flavors. 6. There is a cute sculpture park outside for a post or pre meal strole. I would mention that while the decor, attention to detail and kid friendly experience were spot on, the food itself was ok. I would still go back and recommend the place for the experience of it.

What a lovely sushi restaurant this is! Colorful and the owner and staff were amazingly kind and friendly. The sushi was delicious and fresh. The choo choo going around was a hoot. This was a great find. Can't wait to go back! My rolls. The Kiss Me. The MF Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll. The Kiss Me - smoked salmon, shrimp, avocado, and crunch wrap wrapped in soy paper with wasabi, mayo, and grilled salmon on top. This was amazing so delicious so fresh so different. MF roll - shrimp, tempura, avocado topped with half lobster salad, half spicy salmon, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. Also, very fresh very delicious very different. Spicy tuna roll was delicious.

If you ever find yourself in Leoina, NJ and you have little ones, the Choo Choo Train Sushi restaurant is a great place to have a family dinner. The decor is nicely decorated and the kids will surely enjoy watching the train come by carrying sushi dishes to dessert (sit at counter). Even if your little one doesn't eat sushi, there are also chicken nuggets and french fries options from the menu. The salmon was fresh but other rolls on the train were okay. I don't expect much quality wise from sushi belt places in general but thankfully their sushi was okay. I just wish the host/waiter was friendlier and less demeaning given the restaurant caters to families but the lady that came out later clearly loved kids. The sushi options on the train is limited and they do not change out the items, so if you have a strong craving for a particular roll/sushi, best to ordering from the menu. They open at 4:30pm on Saturdays, and thankfully getting seats at the time was not an issue. The host sat us by the best spot where the kids can see the mini water fall. The bathroom was nicely decorated and they had a cute soap dispenser with a small sink for kids. They even give out a cute thermo with extra tea so we can refill ourselves. We were in and out within the hour so working perfectly for families with kids.

Food was decent :) $5 a dish for the conveyor belt sushi. My favorites were the sushi rolls. Bacon wrapped scallops were great!

Fun atmosphere! Charming, child-friendly casual sushi restaurant. Attentive staff. I enjoyed the "shrimp guacamole" appetizer... extensive menu- will stop back to try more items...

This might be the most fun and aesthetic conveyor belt sushi and sushi-adjacent restaurant experience I've had. They've gone all out with the thematic decor, which will charm adults and children alike, but is an especially memorable experience for the little ones. Cool place for a date too. We went around Halloween time and the restaurant was tricked out with seasonal decorations. The design details are intricate - even the soap dispensers in the bathroom are so cute. We sat at the counter and my child was delighted watching the train go around and checking out the decorations around it. The small plates on the train are $4.99 each and are fun to try. In addition to the sushi and special rolls, the menu has yakitori, noodles, rice bowls, teriyaki, katsu, and even a couple of Korean dishes that we went for: K-style beef short ribs and bulgogi. Don't skip the fashionable assortment of desserts which includes K-style shaved ice and rainbow fried ice cream! The highlight is the cotton candy machine - you can pick a flavor/color and they'll spin it fresh for you. The food is pretty good and I'd rate it a 4, but bumping to 5 for the entertaining experience, artful presentation, outstanding service, and overall awesomeness. We can't wait to return!

Sushi train serving sides, apps, and desserts.

The food was delicious. The service was friendly and inviting. We sat at the counter so we could take advantage of the sushi train!

Owners Min & Justin are AMAZING!  Attentive, careful to detail - watchful that every guest is cared for. Santos makes amazing Cotton Candy!
Fran C.

This was our 1st time at Choo Choo and we'll be back! Very attentive service, fresh, beautifully presented food, very unique theme and cool youthful atmosphere. Come ready for great sushi.... and Cotton Candy, Fried Oreos and Mochi Min & Justin:THANK YOU.... everything was fabulous!

It is a cute little spot with their train of sushi that rolls pass the bar. The workers and servers are always energetic and happy. Definitely bring your kids for the experience! I love the little details they put into the restaurant. My only complain was the semi sticky bar. Wasn't the great experience on that end. As for the selections of the sushi on the train it wasn't anything that really caught my eye. I tried several of their dishes off the train and it was good just nothing to write home about. We decided to order some on the menu instead. Definitely different level of sushi. The freshness of the scallops, the Uni was amazing! The simplicity of it all just made a difference. If you're not feeling too hungry. I would recommend this place. It's definitely a spot where you can hangout and have some small bites and it'll keep the kids entertain! Did I also mentioned they give cotton candy at the end!?

This place figured it OUT. No need to write any good reviews here, all the other reviewers states the obvious with 5 stars and never ending positive highlights. This review is assessing how a true successful restaurant should run. Aside from the frills of the decor, train-conveyer belt sushi, extraordinary wait service and exemplary fresh dishes - this location has found the key formula. So restauranteurs or soon-to-be startups: take notes! The level of detail and well-thought out implementation of additions and services that has gone into this place- is un.friggin.believable. It is not fancy in terms of fine dining but it has the aura and functionality that the operations was set up by someone or a team that knew exactly what to do. That skillset and conceptualization is not something people will know out of nowhere. It takes years of experience and exposure at top spots to gain these types of attributes under the belt. First off- the decor was exceptional in color choices from general areas down to furniture pairings. The bathroom even had the toilet paper holder as a cute animal. Who normally would do that? As mentioned by other reviewers, the toiler has an auto machine for the toilet covers, as they have in Japan. So if the bathroom was part of their "concept" and planning - that speaks volumes. Bathrooms are generally one huge aspect of the "customer overall experience.". Bathrooms do not have to have bells and whistles but it is SUPER essential that it is clean and tidy. Usually a sterile looking restroom facility is acceptable and that comes with constant upkeep. (explains why fine dining places would have a dedicated attendee sitting inside the bathroom accepting tips.). This place just does its clean magic on their own! Meanwhile, this place receives raving feedback but wanted to highlight its significance in their method to operating an exceptional food service business. Bravo!!!

Tempura Udon
Yuna C.

What a fun experience - from the outside to inside, this restaurant is committed to the train theme and the decorations inside are so fun and fanciful! We noticed a lot more families with younger children dining here but would be also fun for a date spot! The plates on the train are $4.95 each but you can order other menu items a la carte - we got the yellowtail with scallion which was very fresh and the spicy tuna roll which was indeed very spicy! We also ordered a tempura udon to finish our meal. While they don't have many sashimi options, the sushi is quite fresh and made to order so this is a great deal. Plus, you get your own thermos of hot tea so no worries about refills! Another add on, they have a cotton candy machine for kids to snack on afterwards. The staff was very friendly and enthusiastic, making our dining experience even more memorable.

A new AYCE revolving conveyor belt Sushi sashimi & roll place around the corner of Hudson Lights in…read moreFort Lee. The interior was very modern, unlike any sushi place hahaha and we were seated right by the belt. $40 unlimited sushi & roll with all the appetizers on the menu - except the sashimi. The appetizers were good (reminded me of Arigato in Edgewater), Takoyaki, human, edamame, udon, miso soup, you name it !!! Picking out the roll dishes from the belt is always fun, and I probably devoured 5 dishes of Philadelphia rolls !!!! I am not a big fan of spicy tuna or spicy shrimp rolls, so I focused on the seaweed salad, Chef's special and the Philadelphia rolls, As always, I went back to the appetizer menus !!!! Since it's BYOB, the appetizer ones were great !!! With the $40 (All day Friday, Saturday & Sunday) with 90 min limit, the quality was satisfying !!!! (Since I have been hugely hugely disappointed with the Kura Resolving Sushi by the GW Bridge. Will definitely come back and I do hope the quality remains consistent.

TLDR: Otter is a good idea but needs some tweaks to the concept and the overall execution. I went…read morefor lunch, enjoyable enough but felt like there wasn't much value or options. I would come back to try dinner. I wanted to try Otter for awhile and popped in for lunch. At $34.95 AYCE, the ambiance is nice but I expected more. Staff was very attentive and friendly. The belt itself I felt was marked but the plates were being just loaded where there was space - so the labels were correct only part of the time. The rolls were decent but it got to a point where each just tasted very slightly different so it started getting repetitive. Apps were fine but nothing noteworthy enough to order again. The options on the belt were much more plentiful than the ones on the menu to order. Lunch you're limited to only nigiri (sashimi is dinner only) and the options are pretty basic at just octopus, salmon, tuna, saba, etc. The belt design could be better, very slow pace and the divider on each side makes it that it's easy for the tables on the other side to grab things. We actually had the best seat where the items come out first but our neighbors on the other side started reaching out to grab things. This was at lunch which as I mentioned, had limited options - I wonder how much more primal diners will be in the evening with better choices. At $34.95 pp - would not come back for lunch. Just way too few options and I can't order what's on the belt. Kura for example, even if you have a crappy seat where most of the belt is picked through.. I can order EVERYTHING a la carte. I'd be willing to check out dinner to see what that extra $10 gets me. For lunch though - either the price needs to decrease or the options need to increase. I wouldn't recommend lunch service in its current form. Service though, A+++.

I brought my family here as a surprise. They LOVE sushi and I went to a revolving sushi place when…read moreI was younger in Florida. They absolutely loved it. We were greeted with a welcoming smile. We were sat at the prime spot...at the beginning of the conveyor belt. The food was fresh and delicious. You can also order off the menu if you don't see what you want on the belt. Everyone here is super friendly and make you feel welcome. This was the first time we were here and DEFINITELY won't be the last. My wife wants to come all the time now. If we didn't live 30 minutes away we would come every week. We still might! It's THAT good!

Visited at noon time on a Monday holiday. Not sure if that was the best time to go…read more Negatives: -cluttered inside. Ex. Empty boxes stacked on chairs -bathrooms not the cleanest -not a lot of variety sent out with way too much Edamame as an option -they slow rolled our group of 5 after I assume they thought we ate enough. Imo, we did not get close to the $27 cost per each of us. My estimation we were at about the $20 worth it mark.. Positives: -The food was excellent -very cool concept I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe noon Monday after St Valentine's Day when they are closed the next day (tues) was not the best time to go. Maybe they were low on supply. I may try again some time but definitely not bring my family of 6 to test it out again. I hesitate to write a semi negative review but felt like I should. As I said, the food we did have was very good. Maybe next time we just order off the non all-you-can-eat menu

KAITZEN ZUSHI is fun and delicious! I enjoyed my meal here,…read moreand I ordered à la carte. Next visit I shall enjoy the ALL YOU CAN EAT LUNCH OR DINNER! KAITZEN is Pronounced like: "Kite"- "Zen". It means revolving, a staff member told me. It's a fun meal because you order from a tablet, and your food is delivered to you on a conveyor belt. A bot/robot delivers closed drinks, such as a can of soda or bottled beverage. There are human staff members to help you. You can summon for service in the tablet. So, when I wanted to know what was inside the ocean roll, or green dragon roll, I summoned a server, and asked for the details. The server brought me a laminated detailed menu description, which was GREAT!! Loved it! I just tapped away on the tablet, and in a few minutes my sushi arrived via conveyor belt. I love this . See my videos. My first visit was March 2026. I enjoyed everything I ordered , see my photos and videos. I look forward to my next visit, and many after that.

Came here on a Friday night with a party of 3, and had a good time…read more There is a strict 90 minute dine in policy and one person in our party was running late, we ended up sitting at the individual seats with iPad devices to order your sushi choices of nigiris, handrolls, rolls, and sides. We choose the all you can eat option, and there was a promo for 50% off wheat beer during our dinner. When ordering, it was 4 items at a time and pieces come fairly fast. There is a notification that alerts you when your order is in it's way on the conveyor belt. If you order a non-alcoholic drink, a robo server will bring the drink over to you. Food was decent and I really enjoyed the handrolls! The nigiri was tasty and there were interesting combos of nigiris to choose from, like torched salmon with mayo. For sides, there were cold appetizers like kani salads and hot dishes like ramen to choose from. Overall, I think it's a really good deal for conveyor belt sushi enthusiasts.
