    Chef roll and Red Bull roll

    I'm actually livid. I ordered sushi that CLEARLY said NO spicy mayo, and everything came completely drenched in it. Like what is the point of even having a menu description if you're not going to follow it? Not everyone likes spicy mayo or can even eat it, so this isn't a small mistake--it ruins the entire meal. And on top of that, no utensils were included... so even if I wanted to eat it, how exactly was I supposed to? This was a complete miss. Please start paying attention to orders because this was beyond frustrating.

    Wow was this place great! I always pass by the place and have been meaning to try. My fiancé had some Uber Eats credit to use and we decided to give this place a try. This place has great Uber Eats buy one get one deals. We got 2 samurai sushi sets, 2 Red Bull rolls, 2 kamakazi rolls and 2 samurai roll. All included in the bogo deal - what's a steal! The sushi sets included 10pc chef's choice nigiri. All 10pcs were delicious! We both agreed that the eel was our favorite. All the rolls were large and tasty. I wasn't expecting much from this place but I'm really pleasantly surprised. Samurai sushi is a great addition to the neighborhood. They have tables both inside and outside. The staff is also very nice.

    Salmon lover's roll: very generously filled with thick pieces of salmon inside and out. I like that they torched the salmon and avocado outside. It adds a smokiness!

    We came here for a quiet lunch hour. Corner spot, entrance is hidden for you first timers. Signs are posted which door to use. Also a couple of delivery drivers are always outside. When we found the door, the inside is small but clean. Looks more like an outpost than a sit in and eat spot. Typical Japanese-American menu. A lot of rolls but no katsu or curry offerings. Ordered a couple of drinks, the ramen, a roll and an appetizer. Food came out hot. The appetizer was good. Ramen and rolls were well made and good portions. Overall nice spot to scratch that food itch. A lot of app deliveries going in and out. Recommended. Support your local restaurant.

    Ok, so listen. We all know that when it comes to sushi, we have to be a little more careful with where we buy from. I came across Samuri Sushi last year on Post Mates. I was hesitant about ordering from them until my friend who lives near me, ordered from there herself and loved it! And when it comes to food, I trust her taste because she's a bit bougie like me lol. She told me that she tried this fried lobster roll that had me more than intrigued! I tried that and was hooked forever! I love ordering from them because they often have buy one, get one on Post Mates. It is always soooo fresh! I never have to worry about getting sick or feeling nauseous. It's always super light sushi, made with yummy sauces, caviar, rice, etc. I love the Red Bull roll, the crispy rice, and so much more. I've yet to have something from there that I did not like! Because it's freshly made, I'd say to always order in advance because it does take longer than other restaurants, but it is so worth the wait! Keep up the quality, SS! Please! It isn't easy to come across! Thanks so much.

    Service was friendly, music was at the perfect level to have a pleasant conversation. Food presentation was excellent, no complaints about it, only thing is I ordered a sushi and ask if it was spicy, I was told it was not spicy but it had a mayo on top which it was definitely spicy (I'm allergic to spicy). Other than that everything was excellent, must try their desserts.

    One of my favorite sushi restaurants nearby! I'm very picky with my sushi but this restaurant makes very delicious rolls. The quality of fish was fresh and the rise on the rolls were perfectly cooked. Their wasabi also has a nice kick to it. Definitely is my new go-to spot for affordable and good quality sushi.

    Did this order for pick up and I've eaten here before but never had the chance to review it (and have a picture last before scarfing it down). Service was quick and the pick up was fast! Food was so GOOD and fresh and I got their seafood ramen and their tonkatsu ramen. Their seafood ramen is filled with such an amazing assortment of seafood and their broth was divine to smell. It helped clear and fight a mild cold I was experiencing Presentation was beautiful (before I chowed down and figured I should take a pic and review lol) but so many props to this cute little gem and their amazing meals and hefty portions

    Sushi rolls

    My favorite sushi place in the area! Reasonable prices for great food. The rolls are great and so fresh tasting. I personally also really like the tuna tartare and the salmon tataki. It's hard to find such fresh tasting sushi without breaking the bank so I'm so glad this is near me. The space is also really cute. They have a back area where the chairs are all mismatched and eclectic. While the restaurant itself is more homey feeling, it adds to its charm. The people are always so nice too. Love this place! (Takeout is also great)

    Inside to outside (counterclockwise): Winter Roll, New York Roll, Red Bull Roll, Lobster Roll, Dancing Eel Roll

    7:45 PM reservation for 4 on a Friday night and the place was packed!! The ambiance was lively,…read morewarm, and upscale feeling. I got the Sushi & Handroll Course and it was incredible and worth it. I will be returning to have this again. The first course: Hamachi Ceviche. Delicious and light. The second course: 9 piece assorted sushi. This came with 3 seared pieces which melted in my mouth. The 6 other pieces each had the right seasoning or added compliment to make it a delicious bite. The third course: 2 hand rolls of your choice. I liked this because you can eat 2 hand rolls fast enough that the seaweed doesn't get too soggy. Since I had so much raw fish in the first 2 courses, I decided to get the coconut shrimp tempura and miso blacked cod. Highly recommend both. Everyone else at my table got the 4 handroll set. I wouldn't recommend this, because by the time you get to handroll #3-4, the seaweed is completely soggy and makes the experience end on a bad note. I wish they would consider separating the seaweed and rice with plastic like they do at other handroll spots or Hmart lol. Regardless, a great dining experience and I will definitely return to DomoDomo for the sushi and handroll course!

    Overall: 4 stars…read more Dined in at the Jersey City location for the first time and I was quite thrilled by the comforting seating and attentive service. The food is pricey but also higher quality than most of what you can find in Jersey City so its competitive in that sense. (Hamachi Appetizer: A) - I love the bold flavors across many dimensions that encapsulate the yellowtail with flavor. Its a colorful and bright way to start a meal. (Nigiri Course: D) - Nine pieces of sushi, most of them uniquely flavored with fun. I think at this price point, I wished that the color of the fish looked more bright and glistening -- the salmon and tuna are a bit washed in color, although some of their white fish is glistening. The flavor combinations are theoretically interesting but a lot of them are a bit too subtle to taste well. (Wagyu Handroll: F) - The wagyu is nice quality with a delicious richness that melts into that soothing rice. It theoretically pairs well with the truffle pate and the high quality uni, but unfortunately the proportions were quite off so they were hard to taste in harmony. (Black Cod Handroll: A) - I love this concept of taking miso black cod and making it into a petite handroll size. Its warm and comforting and oozing with that saline forward flavor that I was looking forward to.

    A Decade of Love on a Plate: A Local Favorite That Punches Above Its Weight…read more This place is the definition of a neighborhood gem--the kind you almost want to keep secret, yet can't stop yourself from praising. Cheap and cheerful on the surface, it punches way above its weight class, delivering inventive, clean, Asian-inspired food that's masterfully cooked by clearly skilled hands--and made with real love. I've been coming back year after year for most of this restaurant's 10-year lifespan, and that consistency is no accident. Every dish tastes intentional, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying, with a clear goal: to feed people love on a plate. It's a super veggie/vegan friendly that easily wins over even my "meat and potatoes" husband--who happily cleans his plate every time. In an era where genuine hospitality feels increasingly rare, Perry single-handedly restored my faith that quality service is not extinct. Warm, attentive, and authentically kind, Perry makes every guest feel seen, welcome, and cared for--without pretense or attitude. This is food that nourishes, service that uplifts, and a place that keeps you coming back not just for the flavors, but for how it makes you feel. A true neighborhood treasure.

    Mediocre food and very slow service!…read more This place was a disappointment for what I hoped from a highly rated ramen place in the area. The service was quite slow, almost waited 1 hour for entrees to be brought to the table. It's a small place with limited staff working everything. The food was fairly basic. The fried rice seemed to be bland and below par despite ordering the spicy version. My friend who ordered the ramen liked the soup but the meat was not fully cooked and felt chewy.

    Amazing quality Omakase!…read more Nigiri is located inside Honshu in Jersey City. Think of Nigiri the Omakase part of Honshu. Honshu's menu on it's own is really good so I wanted to try their Omakase and boy they did not disappoint. This was the most Uni I've had in an Omakase. The quality of the sushi was so good. It competes and if not beats some of the Omakase found in NYC. The only downside was I was not able to join the tabletop for the Omakase service but sat on a table nearby. This was a last minute decision and the Omakase table was fully booked. This falls on me. However, this Omakase was the longest I have experienced. It was nearly 2 hours. I found myself just sitting there waiting for the next course. I don't know if this was due to me sitting at regular table vs the Omakase tabletop, but I wish there was more flow. Although it was a long dinner, the food outweighed it all.

One thing to note for those curious: even though it's right next door, it didn't seem like you could order off the Honshu menu here. However, the food was so good on its own that we didn't mind! We'll definitely be coming back to try the Omakase next time.

    $$$$

    Amazing food, but felt scammed on the bill…read more I visited Sushi by Bou in Jersey city last Saturday night for their 17‑course omakase, which is advertised at 150 dollars per person. My cousin and I were genuinely impressed at first - every piece of sushi was delicious, the fish tasted fresh, and the presentation was beautiful. For most of the meal, it felt like a great high‑end dining experience. The problem came at the very end. The host asked if we wanted anything else, and I specifically asked what our options were and how much they would cost. I was told we could order any of the original 12 pieces à la carte, but when I asked the price per piece, the host hesitated and never actually answered the question. Then the bartender and sushi chef said, "Give them all 12 pieces. Run it back," in a way that made it sound like it was part of the experience, not an extra charge. At no point did anyone clearly state the price of these additional pieces or indicate that this would significantly increase our bill. When the check came, it was close to 700 dollars for two people who started with a 150‑dollar‑per‑person omakase and only had about a drink each. Every extra piece had been charged individually at full price, even though I had directly asked how much it would be. Instead of feeling taken care of, we left feeling misled and scammed. A wonderful meal was completely overshadowed by the lack of transparency at the end. All it would have taken was a simple explanation like, "Additional pieces are X dollars each," so we could make an informed decision. Because that did not happen, it feels like the upsell was intentional and deceptive. The sushi itself was excellent, but I cannot recommend this place until they are honest and upfront about pricing for add‑ons and do a better job of respecting their customers. Transparency matters just as much as good food.

    Behind Ani Ramen is a modern Omakase speakeasy with an intimate 8-seat sushi bar!…read moreWhen I first walked in I absolutely loved the pink and purple floral vibes! I also thought the fish was very fresh! Here's what I think could be improved on: I had a few piece of fish that was overcooked when the torch was used. The rice was also a bit undercooked. But what really affected my dining experience was that the seats were so close together that I had someone else's hair on me almost the whole time I was dining. Plus, it was so loud, and honestly, I think some guests had a bit much to drink before or during their meal so it really ruined the atmosphere. I could tell another couple was a bit disturbed by the atmosphere and left asap after dinner. Typically, I would recommend omakase if you wanted to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday or for a date night, but for this location I think it'd be best for a casual dinner spot with friends. I've tried a few other locations of this chain in the city and NJ that had better quality and atmosphere - so definitely check out their other locations if you're looking for that!
