    Went here for a casual dinner and knew this would be a different experience. If you go to mama sushi you have to know the vibe you're getting yourself into. I went on a Saturday and music was already blasting at 6pm. Also any table is able to order hookah's so if you go this restaurant at any time in the day you should expect that. With that said i still saw parents bringing kids here. Now the food was pretty good but you have to be open to the uniqueness of it. The portions are pretty small for the prices especially the appetizers so that goes into the 4 star. Also they add an 18% "surcharge" but still ask for tip and when they bring back your receipt after giving a card they dont give back the itemized receipt showing that, just asks for tip again... so very sneaky which i did not appreciate, Overall i thought it was an ok experience besides this to watch out for.

    Being a New Uork native and mama sushi being a place we would go to occasionally, we were glad to have this close by after moving out to Jersey. This is the biggest mama sushi, with loud music the first time we came and the second not as bad, the first time we came was a Sunday which was somewhat busy but not overheating. The second time on a Saturday during brunch hours which pretty slow as well which was surprising, so use to this lace being busy but hey it's not as popular as in New York it seems. Although overall, service was attentive, drinks are delicious and food is just as tasty.

    The girls and I got together to get brunch at this location. When I arrived I was lucky to find parking right in front. I walked in and had to wait for a majority of my party to arrive. When they did they sat us in a booth. The dj was blazing a lot of reggaeton (not much mixtureof genres). We started with drinks and I went with the sangria which I didn't like so switched to the jack punch which was sweet but not bad. We were served by 2 young ladies and there was a bit of a language barrier but they understood. For my entrée I got the chicken and waffle and it looked great when it came out. I dug in and it was pretty good. The hot sauce I asked for gave it some kick. The girls seemed to enjoy their meals as well. The bill was pretty reasonable and all in all I had a good experience.

    My favorite roll boca chica was terrible at this location.

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS! This place is an absolute disaster. I ordered online for pickup, expecting a quick and smooth experience, but my food wasn't ready when I arrived. When I finally got home, I couldn't believe how awful the food was--it was downright inedible! I even called the restaurant because I was convinced they gave me the wrong rolls. Spoiler alert: they didn't. The sushi was so bad it went straight into the trash. Save yourself the trouble and the stomach ache--NEVER coming back here again.

    Of all the locations this was my least favorite. They bring the soy sauce ready poured which wouldn't have been a problem if there wasn't hairs floating in it. The fish made me And my friend sick the next day. The wasabi was kinda blueish and the ginger was really red. Nothing tasted fresh, we ended up just leaving....they have hookah so I added an extra star. I dunno guys, this is not it

    Cheers!

    Went to Mamasushi on a Sunday afternoon. Parking was very easy to get and upon arriving there was no wait time. Staff was very quick to attend us but we had to actually text everything for our order since music was jamming a bit too loud. Appetizers came out quick and tasted amazing. We got a crispy chicken dumpling, the sauce really added an awesome touch to it. The drinks we ordered were El Indio and Punta Cana. They were made so dangerously good that we just had to get seconds! Our main dish did take some time but it was definitely worth the wait. Getting the El Montro and MamaSushi Harlem were the best picks for satisfying our needs. I Definitely recommend this place for a great vibe, good drinks and food. They also had hookah but we didn't indulge. Check it out and you will not be disappointed!

    Good vibes/ambience, good food/drinks & good service. For drinks I tried the cocomojito which was good. It's very thick which I wasn't expecting but it's good. I also had the mamasushi mojito that has tamarind in it and that was delicious. For food I got a roll (forget the name) but it had shrimp tempura avocado and a few others ratings it was good. I then got the chicken and waffles. The chicken was very small but for $10 I couldn't complain much and it taste good.

    Very impressed. I've see so much videos on social media about Mamasushi so I decided to celebrate my birthday here. the place is beautiful and the vibes are super nice. The food was amazing! I completely love the place and the service. My waiter was Ruby and she was amazing she would come and check up every few minutes definitely great service!!

    Have been here a handful of times and the food is always amazing whether it be for brunch or dinner! Will definitely go back to experience different things on the menu!

    Im from NYC and this is the best experience I've had at MS. The pulpo was cooked to perfection and the drinks were so good. These are NYC prices so im pretty used to it. It wasn't pricey for us at all. The only thing i didn't like. I don't like cigarettes and much less hookah. DO NOT COMBINE DINING WITH HOOKAH! It's gross!! Move it to a section where ppl don't order food. Place was clean, service attentive. Music Okay...

    Food was great! I went with a small group, many who do not enjoy traditional sushi. This was a great treat to explore cooked sushi options for everyone. We liked the variety and option for the chef's choice. I wish we knew what rolls we had because they were all good! If you go on a Sunday, get ready for a party atmosphere whether you like it or not. The music will be BLASTING and you will have a hard time carrying a conversation. I didn't feel COVID safe. Not all staff was wearing their masks properly, they would pull them down to talk to you bc you wouldn't be able to hear them over the loud music, social distancing wasn't happening , and there was no temperature check at the door (but they did a security pat down). Smoking hookah indoors also didn't feel safe. My group left as soon as we could, luckily before it got super crowded because we got there relatively early in the day. Because of the food, we would come back, but definitely on another day/ very early. Parking can be a little tough, but there's a small parking lot in front if you get lucky. We'd come back when we feel more COVID safe in this environment or maybe for take out.

First time…read morecoming here and it's been on my Yelp list for so long that I'm so happy I made myself the time to come here with a cousin! I made reservations about 2 weeks in advanced for 12pm and we lucked out with NJ weather and sat outside on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Because it was Mother's Day, they had 2 set omakase experiences to choose from. We decided to splurge and did the chef tasting. I couldn't even tell you everything I put in my mouth, but just know everything was SO fresh that the fish melted in your mouth. The owner Jo Jo came out to greet us, explained the menu to us, and even acknowledged the fact that the music outdoors was way too loud and he turned it down. He was extremely friendly and personable along with the rest of the waitstaff. The service could not have been any better. The sushi was SO fresh I literally could've eaten 50 more pieces if I didn't do dinner that night. I'm so happy that I was able to experience the tasting menu and told my husband we have to come back. The setting was intimate and small and it just had such a good vibe. Being outdoors on a beautiful day was a nice surprise. I can't say enough nice things about this place and the staff and the FOOD. I highly recommend Butterfish. Just make the reservation. You won't regret it.

The menu has been curated by Michelin star chefs, and the food reflected that. Expertly crafted rolls and flawless execution, you won't be disappointed. Service was spectacular. They asked at first if there were any allergies and from the on plate after plate of deliciousness. Their servers explained every roll and its ingredients. My favorite was a foie gras roll. I know... sounds weird right but this was an absolute banger. Dessert? Went for a black seasame Gelato and boy it was an absolute closer to a phenomenal meal. Trendy and hip, this place is perfect for a date night.

They have an extensive menu with sushi, sashimi, teriyaki, noodles, soup, salads, fusion appetizers, etc. They even have some Korean items like bulgogi, sundubu, and bibimbap. Prices are reasonable. I called and placed a take-out order near closing time. The employee was accommodating, pleasant, and told me my order would be ready in 15 minutes. I drove over and was able to find street parking easily. The interior is casual and spacious, but a little dreary and outdated. They have exposed brick walls, wood tables, and hanging light fixtures. My food was prepared on time. I ordered: *Salmon Lover - 4 pieces of sushi, 4 pieces of sashimi, 6 piece roll ($20.50) *Tuna Lover - 4 pieces of sushi, 4 pieces of sashimi, 6 piece roll ($20.50) The salmon and tuna were fresh in taste, texture, and smell. Vibrant colors, firm and smooth textures, and delicate flavors! The sushi rolls had the right fish to rice ratio. The rice could've been more seasoned. The miso soup was warm, savory, and comforting. Not the best sushi I've ever had, but it did the job of satisfying my cravings. I would return to try their special rolls!
