Amazing! After struggling to find vegetarian options west of the island, Sanma was my saving grace. I hadn't eaten in hours and didn't really know what to expect. However, my entire experience was pleasant! I ordered online, which was very easy and convenient, and shortly afterwards, a woman called to confirm that I wanted to order from the Staten Island location. I found that to be extremely considerate to ensure there was no confusion if had I accidentally ordered at another location. The avocado and steamed sweet potato roll were phenomenal, and a steal at only $4.50 each! (If you are vegan, I would check with the restaurant to see if the sweet potato tempura contains eggs or dairy). The avocodo was very fresh and perfectly ripe. Both rolls were delicious! Since the only hotels are on this side of the island, I will definitely be returning to Sanma the next time I am in town.! read more

We came here on a Saturday for dinner. There was no wait so we were quickly seated. The waitress was nice, but they are not very attentive. We did the all you can eat option which did have a good amount of options. The sushi itself was decent, nothing special. I recommend the takoyaki as it does have a good amount of octopus inside. Their chicken teriyaki was pretty good as well. read more

Love the sushi. They have great lunch specials. Service is great. Place is cute. Order take out from them all the time

Came here for dinner and decided to try the all you can eat, the food was decent and the service was fair. I do not recommend the octopus it was very fishy and I've never had octopus fishy and I do not recommend the salmon roe or the chicken teriyaki. I do however recommend the salmon, it is great that they serve sashimi, the salmon was decent cut for ayce, wasabi tuna cracker was really good, the Kani salad and the avocado was good and so was the takyoaki. I highly recommend the salmon teriyaki. I took off one star because they really messed up with the green tea ice cream, the ice cream itself was delicious however they coated it with corn flakes and threw it in the freezer premade and the corn flakes tasted stale and soggy and we all could have done without the corn flakes which ruined the whole ice cream experience. So a note to management would be save the cereal or throw it in after if that's how you want to prepare it. Service was good they never forgot our order but we always had to ask for our tea to be refilled. There was no wait for a Friday night but we did see people start coming by the time we were done read more

Great food, great service. Great people! Fast delivery. Reasonably priced! Highly recommend!

The food here is very good and for a vegetable hibachi which comes with a soup or salad came out to around $14 which isn't too bad. Fried rice was delicious and the service is fast when I ordered for pick up. Will definitely be going back there read more

One of the very first Japanese restaurants on the island that we have frequented for the past 13+ years. Service is always great and reliable and staff is like family. The pandemic couldn't keep us away as we opted for delivery once they reopened for business. Please patronize the restaurant when you're on the island! read more

A friend told us about this place because they have an ayce option. We didn't go there for this but they don't advertise it either. The three of us were seated immediately. Two of us order the blue Hawaii. After alittle while we order our food. I order brown rice avocado rolls with ginger dressing on the side and miso soup. My friend ordered the mango chicken, beef teriyaki, fried rice and sweet potato rolls. The lady looks at him confused and asks if he's sure he wants that. I think she thought it was a lot of food for just him but he says yes and that he wants the beef well done. My sister ordered Miso soup and tofu teriyaki. She didn't write anything done but requests the order to us. Everything she says is correct. Miso soup comes tastes like every other miso soup. Our food comes out hot but things are wrong. No salad dressing and the beef teriyaki was rare. So I tell her this is wrong it's supposed to be well done and she looks confused. So I said it needs to be cooked more so she says ok and takes it. My sister's dish looked sad because it was tofu with teriyaki sauce splattered on top of it. Everyone else's food is good. My friends beef comes back by the end of the meal so we get it to go. I'd go back for the ayce but that's probably it. Nothing wowed me. read more

One of my favorite sushi spots. They have all you can eat now which is great! But make sure you don't over order, because there is a charge for uneaten food. Food is always fresh, and delicious. Highly recommend! Great for night out or date night! read more

We had the most amazing dinner at Sanma the other day. We ordered an assorted selection of appetizers, all came out hot, exciting to look at, and they were absolutely delicious. For dinner, we split the Chilean Seabass, which came prepared exactly the way we ordered it, nicely browned on the bottom. It was on top of some beautiful Japanese vegetables, and was one of the best seafood dishes we have ever had. This place is usually known for all you can eat, but that has not yet started up Again due to Covid. I hate to tell anybody about this place, because it will get too crowded. But giYou will enjoy it! read more

Today I made an order which the driver left the food next door and did not call me. I order regularly and understand common courtesy is to call the person. The restaurant immediately called me as I was on the phone with Grubhub. I hung up on Grub Hub and called them immediately. This led to a back and forth for nearly 8 minutes with a female telling me the driver called the wrong number. I went over the fact they called me immediately. No one could justify that the driver could have simply called the restaurant to confirm the number. I know they will never get my money again. I made it clear it was not about the money, nor was I looking to get anything free. Maybe customer needs to be retooled. read more

I've been getting delivery from them for a while now, and every time it was a disappointment. So I finally stepped into the premise last night, thinking that the real experience would redeem them. Aye. Now that they've raised the prices, they've lowered their quality as well. Mediocre sushi on Staten Island is just too common. read more

Food and service was good. The people here are very welcoming and makes sure that your cup is filled with tea/water at all time. They did not have Uni and so they took it off our bill and gave us edamame for the inconvenience read more

I really hate to leave a bad review. But I ordered from here a few weeks ago. We recently moved to the neighborhood and wanted to try Japanese. When we lived on the south shore we would always order from Genki Sushi (Arden Avenue) and never had a bad meal. The food over there is amazing. A friend recommended Sanma, we ordered a Kani salad, fried rice, Beef negamaki and edamame. It arrived on time but All dishes had absolutely ZERO taste and was 100% bland. The salad wasn't fresh and the fried rice was the worst I ever had. Unfortunately I will never order from here again based on the quality of food. read more

Came around 1pm on a Sunday for AYCE. Pretty empty. Mango Kani salad was a bit sad as there were barely any mango. Was a bit thrown off that they added chucks of the cucumber core into the salad (part with the seeds). Been to many AYCE places and tasted many kani salads, this is a first. Guess it adds a crunch but it had me thinking that they chucked it in cause they don't want to waste food vs. am I eating scraps. The yakitori (chicken) was pretty moist. It wasn't seasoned but I guess the sauce makes up for it. Takoyaki was okay - did have bites of octopus in it. The main food - sashimi didn't taste frozen. No complaints for an AYCE place. White tuna tasted the freshest. Overall the taste/freshness of the sashimi cuts rank in my top 3 for AYCE places. Ordered some rolls but I can't think much of it. Sashimi was my goal. I would come back if I want to feast on some AYCE sashimi in Staten Island. read more

BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE !!!!!!! They present with what they call their "old menu" when you order which has cheaper prices then give you a check where each item is like 2$ more and then tell you well we have a new menu but never show it to you and expect you to pay the higher prices !!!! Scam artists ! Call the police on us and held us in the store when we demanded we will only pay the prices we saw in the menu we got ! DO NOT EAT HERE !! The food is low quality too read more

New management is definately having a hard time transitioning to an all-you-can-eat restaurant. The plates came out fairly slow and the pieces are very large (normally a good thing, right? But wait for it....) I left 6 pieces on my plate because of the unexpectedly sizes of the rolls. Therefore, I got charged the 10 dollar "wasteful evil person" penalty. (First time I ever experienced this!). Anyway, I would have returned as a much less wasteful customer if I was not subjected to a manager's interrogation about their policy. Hell, I didn't even put up a fight over it. I think she just enjoys scolding people to make a point to others. The sushi is actually very good, but you can find very good sushi and avoid the real possibility of being emotionally abused while dining out easily enough. Go at your own risk. Live long and prosper, Sushi police women. read more

If you want quick and delicious sushi this is the place. I was coming here before the name was changed to Sanma, not much is different besides the name. My favorite is the sushi appetizer pizza. I usually get a spicy shrimp roll here, they make it like no one else I've ever tried. I highly recommend this place not expensive but very good and fast service. read more

I love sushi, and this place didnt know sushi at all! The taste of the rice was BLAND AND DRY... I wanted to drop my chopsticks right there and walk out. I got 5 smoke salmon sashimi which was strangely sliced each time, so I was happy if pieces were thicker than paper. Then my friend got the platter of 9 sashimi pieces which he also could barely eat the rice for it. The chicken katsu was also incredibly dry and the sauce was way too overpowering. I saw the locals having sushi with forks! The waiters where horrible and they didn't care about if you enjoyed your food or wanted to get anything else. The guests were no better, rowdy from the drinks they had and seemed like the staff didn't care either. Worst sushi rice ever, people on Staten Island really don't know what good tasting sushi seems to taste like since this restaurant just spewed out such horrible trash. read more

This place is a 2-star rating, I could've given it 5 stars if the service did not suck so badly! Pros: Flavorful sushi rolls. Cons: TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE STAFF, TERRIBLE DELIVERY delivery man sucks! As if tipping them was not enough (better than no tip at all), they go and hassle for more! that eventually makes you not want to give them business. Small portions on pricey side, regular rolls $2.95 per roll. Lunch specials are limited. Comes with either soup or salad, not both. read more

I don't think they do the 50% off sushi anymore but the prices are still super cheap for extremely delicious sushi. Mitoushi has some of the best salmon sashimi I've ever had. Their mango kani salad is amazing as well. Fair to say, I liked everything we tried, with the exception of the classic roll, not because it wasn't fresh but moreso because it wasn't our taste. We also tried the spicy tuna, chicken negimaki (more scallion than chicken - which the boyfriend loves), eel sushi, tamago, spider roll, eel cucumber and they were all very fresh and delicious. The staff is super attentive yet non intrusive. They were attentive even when it was crowded, very willing to please and overall just pleasant. read more

(continued from my previous review ... ran out of space!) Now the third time I had Mitoushi was actually the other night. Boyfriend and I walked in to order 3 salmon rolls. We were craving sushi but decided not to get it because too much raw isn't good for the stomach. So we went to Applebee's instead. We weren't satisfied with our dinners though so we still stopped by afterward! We split the 3 rolls and ate them in his car. We felt like addicts, sneaking in the raw fish. It's like our cocaine. It definitely satisfied the craving, and they were very quick with the order too! I really like the people working there. On all occasions, they were very nice before, during, and after our meal. Like I said in another review, I think it's really important to feel welcome in a restaurant because then it means I'd be comfortable enough to return. When boyfriend and I went in just to take out, everyone was who was available asked if we needed to sit, which means they're not just waiting for someone else to take care of us. They all cared whether or not we were being served. It's also pretty amazing that there are 4 guys behind the sushi counter. They're constantly filling delivery orders ($10 minimum) so I like that they're busy. Busy in a sushi place is good because that means the fish isn't just sitting there. Plus, it means that it'll be faster to get your meal. So basically, if you read all of that, you can tell that I really do love Mitoushi. Though Tenzan still has a very special place in my heart, Mitoushi's gaining some space too! read more

The food here is amazing and super fresh. They updated the prices and have signs everywhere. I been coming here for over a year and they've had signs up almost that long. My girlfriend and I come here whenever we want sushi. The staff knows us and they're always extremely kind. If cheers was a sushi place, Sanma is that places. read more

I used to come to this place when it was mitoushi. I didnt know they changed the name/ownership. Sadly the service was sub par to begin. I could barely make out what our server was saying over the loud music in the background. Had to keep asking him to repeat himself. We started with what we usually start with at any sushi place: a kani salad. It was by far the worst kani salad we ever had. There was hardly any crab in it! It was 90% cucumber. Then we tried a miso soup and it tasted like dirty dish water. We decided not to order any entrees or sushi because the kani salad and miso soup were so terrible. We told our server just to give us the check and he snatched the menus off the table and got pretty rude. Clearly not mitoushi anymore! Very sad, wish I could give this place 0 stars! read more

Salmon teriyaki lunch combination is okay, for $9.74 w/tax. +1s - The salmon is crisp, pretty tasty, and in a monsoon of teriyaki sauce so you never feel shorted. -1s - California roll that comes with it is full of avocado and not much fish. Salad is whatever, too. The combination doesn't really satisfy; just the salmon teriyaki does. The rest feels like filler, without the filling effect. Maybe I'm expecting a blue collar lunch special out here, and it isn't quite that. read more

The sushi was not good. Very chewy. The restaurant was hot and when asked the waitress to put air condition on her boss said no. The atmosphere wasn't not a warm and cozy feeling and there was only one waitress for the entire restaurant. The sushi for the rolls was warm. Very disappointing. Don't go there read more

Whatever you do, do not order the softshell crab appetizer. Originally their price was 5.95 and they now increased it to $8.95 it was all breading and the manager would not even do anything to accommodate his customers! Disgusting ! If I could give no stars I would. read more

Love this place. It's my go-to on the island. Their sushi and sashimi are always fresh and great. Keko is always welcoming and great to me. They have 3 or so tables outside for outdoor dining.

This is the only sushi place I keep coming back to since I've moved to Staten Island. It's delish every time and fresh. I'm pretty sure from all the times I've been here I've tried everything on the menu. Their special rolls are delish! My fav appetizer is the spicy tuna ami! Must try, it's a bit on the expensive side though but totally worth it. Their fried ice cream is the only one I ever liked. This is always my go to place if I don't know what I'm craving for and don't want to leave Staten Island. The place is nice and clean. read more

Below is my review from my Iphone a few months ago...I forgot to actually submit, duh! Had a pretty rough week at work and was craving good sushi. My cousin had been talking about Mitoushi for a couple years but I never listened. I considered her a novice sushi eater. She proved me wrong. We went Ina Friday night and bought two bottles of wine with us...I told you it was a rough week. Anyway it was the Friday before Memorial Day so that could explain why there wasn't a huge crowd. We were seated right away and then the night began. We ordered garlic mussels, negamaki, soft shell crab, shumai, and fried squid for appetizers. The plates were small but just enough for everyone to have little something. We each then ordered two rolls a piece and shares. My favorites were the Winter, Spice Girl and the Volcano! Everything was delicious. Then the table directly behind us ordered Sake bombs and it looked like so much fun so we each had one. The Sapporo beer was $3.50 and the sake was free. we loved the experience! The table dared us to do another and we obliged :-) Service was great, food was great and the overall experience was just what I needed! We will be back again! UPDATE: We have been back many times and are basically regulars at this point :-) read more

Best sushi spot hands down. always satisfies my cravings. I always ask for Spicy Mayo and eel sauce on the side.

I'm glad I finally got to order from this spot because they were closed for a while during the pandemic! Everything we ordered was "san"sational!!! I think it would've been better if we actually dined in the restaurant...hence the 4 stars! Xoxo read more

This is my go to place on the island. High volume and turn over ensures fresh quality. The food won't floor you, but it's very satisfying. I usually order to pick up and they're extremely quick with my order. Especially love the specialty rolls and salmon bowl. The restaurant itself is unassuming in a strip mall, but it's clean, spacious and they keep it live w the fist pumping music lol. Check my pics. read more

Great place for sushi anytime lunch or dinner. The staff is very nice not to mention they have a cute girl at the counter the last time we went but i wouldn't give this place 4 stars just for the cute girl. I was brought here for lunch with a co-worker and my first thought of the place was the interior design was like any other sushi place. Bright but nice soft colors that don't stick out like a sore thumb. The place doesn't smell fishy like some sushi places. Sushi here is pretty fresh. I ordered the Charashi nice variety of sashmi. The only thing i would have to say about this place was the rice need more vinegar and the wasabi was from powder and not the actual wasabi root which is okay since most places do it this way. We still eat here regularly for lunch I would definitely recommend this place to others. read more
