Sushi lounge is a nice cozy spot for a date or to come with friends and order a bunch of rolls. I came here on a date night and we ordered the Hoboken roll, the Philadelphia roll, the eel avocado roll, the optimistic roll, and shrimp shumai. My favorite was the eel avocado roll. I'm not the biggest fan of cream cheese in my roll so my least favorite was the Philadelphia roll. I ordered a peach iced tea. The service was great and attentive. When we walked in without a reservation we were able to be seated right away as it wasn't busy. As we started to eat our rolls, the restaurant did get busier with time. Dates and families coming in for their dinner. I have to be honest and say the shrimp shumai wasn't all that special but overall the presentation of the sushi and taste was pretty good. The shumai tasted okay to me, I have had better elsewhere and they looked different. They were tiny. All in all, I would come back and recommend this restaurant to sushi lovers. 10/10 restaurant recommendation. read more

Started the year off strong at this cute sushi spot. They had a lot of delicious speciality rolls. I got the coconut shrimp one, and the opportunity roll. They both tasted good but honestly fell a bit flat with the taste. The coconut shrimp roll unfortunately did not have any hints of coconut. The opportunity roll was good and came in a unique wrap instead of seaweed. The interesting thing about this place is their strong, yet cheap drinks. read more

Ordered via DoorDash. The Optimistic Roll was somewhat small for a specialty roll (compared to most places) but because it was 2 for the price of 1 it was a good deal. Luckily I liked the taste, and I also liked the 3 sauces that came with it--a wasabi sauce, jalapeño sauce & sesame sauce I think. None of them were too spicy. Fried Pork Gyoza was standard, pretty good. read more

This owner (JOE) is loaded and still forgot where all his money came from!! Your customers JOE!! I also never read on a happy hour menu that there is any substitution or return of a dish or drink!! Are you smoking crack Joe??? That glass of seltzer cost you about ten cents!! You have no debt and still don't realize who made you your MONEY!! read more

Came to Sushi Lounge for lunch. The restaurant is unassuming from the inside but calm and modern on the inside. There are three TVs and a good looking bar. The service was friendly and quick. This is a solid spot for plant based/vegans or vegetarians as there are several options and a dedicated vegetarian sushi section. The also can replace white rice with brown rice if you're a whole foods plant based eater. I ordered the veggie combination roll (cucumber, avocado, kampyo - squash, asparagus and baby carrot) and the veggie delight (asparagus, carrot, avocado topped with warm inari - sweet tofu). Both were excellent. The edamame was also great. I will definitely come back and try other options as well as their sake flight. read more

really really too expensive. The food made my son's stomach sick. not worth it. go somewhere else.

Checked out SL for a birthday lunch. It wasn't too busy so service was good. Vibe is modern with lots of black decor. I assume they have a happening evening scene. Chicken Teriyaki Yellowtail roll Bird of Paradise Roll Optimistic roll Food was good and a nice stop in Hoboken. read more

Sushi lounge is a great spot if you are looking to go to impress on a date or if you want sushi with a cool, hip atmosphere. There is a full service bar that can make any cocktail you like, which is rare for a sushi spot I would say. The sushi is good, but the rolls are on the smaller side and they are a bit overpriced. As far as sushi restaurants go, I enjoy coming here once or twice a year, but have my other go to locations in town if I want a bit more 'bang for my buck'. I recommend you stop by here and try it out! read more

Great sushi spot, but not the best hot food spot. Cocktails were delicious, but it took so long to get service on a slow day. Servers gathered talking and on their phones as tables were waiting to be served. Would recommend sitting at the bar. My friend got sick from the fried rice. Other than that all sushi items were outstanding. read more

We had a great meal here . Ate on outside dining service area and were well attended . The menu had some really interesting choices so we selected several of them. Had some old favorites in spicy tuna hand roll, tuna tartare , and shumai. I can't remember exactly what we ordered but it was really delicious .. read more

As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to discover their extensive menu, which offers plenty of delicious options. During my visit, I indulged in the vegetable sushi roll, edamame, and their must-try Asian guacamole, which was a delightful surprise. I also enjoyed the miso soup and house salad-everything was fresh and flavorful. What impressed me the most was their commitment to customizing dishes according to dietary preferences. For instance, I was able to enjoy hibachi rice without any fish sauce, meat, or egg, and the vegetable yaki udon was simply delicious. The attentive staff made sure I had exactly what I wanted, enhancing my dining experience. Whether you're a sushi lover or looking for great vegetarian options, I highly recommend Sushi Lounge in Hoboken --great ambiance,it's a place worth visiting! read more

We were visiting Hoboken for the first time yesterday and went to the Sushi Lounge for dinner. We did make a reservation in advance, which was good since the restaurant was packed! They had a dj playing music upstairs and since there were lots of people it was very loud and hard to hear each other. We started with the pork dumplings for an appetizer and they were very tasty! I personally ordered 3 sushi rolls; avocado roll, Philadelphia roll, and the spicy shrimp roll. All of the rolls were extremely flavorful and had fresh ingredients. We really enjoyed the food here and will be back if we are in Hoboken again! read more

I have always loved coming to this Sushi Lounge for the past couple of years now. Nice ambiance. Nice workers. Nice bar seating; which I love sitting at whenever I'm alone; which isn't often. The food was good. I forgot the name of the drink I initially ordered. It was cute, but didn't taste great, to me. As one of the severs said, "It tastes like medicine". I couldn't agree more because it really did. Super syrupy taste that I did not care for. However, I was able to opt out for something more my liking. Of course I'd revisit. :) read more

Decent sushi. Maybe a little overpriced for what it is. It's nice the find a place that also serves cocktails. Most are BYOB here.

The sushi here is average; I find it bizarre that for a sushi dinner platter, I was forced to order strictly one type of fish--what's the fun in that? The ambiance is unappealing, with ambiguous thumping muzak and horrible flourescent lighting. The bartender was nice and attentive; the only highlight. Good sushi isn't easy to come by in Hoboken and JC; alas, this ain't it. read more

Date nights in this post-pandemic world have been a blessing. Make sure you book a table in their upper level for a little more intimacy. Their location is also pretty prime, right between the bar crawls and residential parts this side of Hoboken. The sushi was a bit overpriced given the size of their portions, but the quality was overall pretty good. read more

Great dinner deal for Hudson Restaurant Week - $40 for an appetizer, 2x speciality rolls, and a mochi dessert (there were other entree options, but the special rolls were a great deal!). The Peking Duck crepe appetizer was just OK; the duck was overcooked and tough. But the extensive list of speciality rolls made up for it. I liked both rolls that I had - the Atomic Roll (tuna, jalapeno, avocado, mango and spicy mayonnaise wrapped in chili soy paper) and Spicy Banana Tempura (spicy tuna and banana tempura topped with white tuna, wasabi tobiko & a kabayaki sauce). read more

ordered $70 worth of sushi and sides and did not receive a chicken fried rice . When restaurant was notified about this , there solution was either a full refund or for me to come to the store to pick it up. When refund was issued they had gave me $13 back and not the full price of the item I had just paid for . So paid them an extra $3 to not send me a fried rice and cancel it. read more

Went for a special occasion and honestly, was kind of disappointed. Appetizers: the Asian guacamole was good, fresh & tasty. I had the Japanese risotto & it didn't knock my socks off; could have used some flavoring. The tuna tartare tasted off; I thought maybe it was the micro greens weren't fresh, bc it tasted like dirt. Two other people tried the fish and said the same thing, so we sent it back. Entrees: I'll say most people at my table got the sushi and it was beautifully presented. Colorful and looked really good. I had the chicken pad Thai and it just wasn't great. The portion was nice, having a full chicken breast accompanying it (on the side of the pad Thai, not chopped & incorporated). The waitress was excellent! We sat upstairs and she was running up & down those stairs like a champ! read more

Really nice atmosphere. Fun music, crowded, good service (for us at least, some reviews say different), huge cocktail menu. I read a lot of reviews about food not being good, but i enjoyed everything i ordered. Maybe i ordered the right things. 1. Yuzo loco - YUM! Def recommend. No rice. Nice and healthy. 2. Grilled scallops - YUM! but keep in mind, only 2 scallops. 3. Kani salad - YUM! And i am picky with kani salad. 4. Autumn roll - tasty, but because of the rice, i found it too filling. Still, very clean tasting. Might not get again. 5. Miso soup - YUM! I am also picky with miso soup. 6. HOT SAKE ... can't go wrong there. I have had better elsewhere, but i still enjoyed it enough to order a second round. 7. SAKE FLIGHT... Fun!!! :) I will post pics of everything i ordered. read more

My sushi order can be so terribly boring but I love it so much and refuse to mix it up unless I am with another person and we are going all out. If it is just me: Eel avocado + salmon or tuna roll + seaweed salad. Perfect amount to fill me up and take care of my sushi craving. I'm sure I've been to sushi lounge before but not recently, so happy I finally went back!! Both rolls were very generous with actual meat/avocado and not just surrounded by too much rice. The eel was really delicious and the salmon tasted very fresh. The seaweed salad was also just so tasty and my favorite side. I ordered through Yelp and stopped in before the estimated pick up time and it was there waiting for me. They had plenty of outdoor seating and all employees were wearing face masks. Will definitely make this a more regular take out spot when I am in Hoboken! read more

Visited the Hoboken location for a late lunch and was very impressed with the quality of the food and the service. Had an enjoyable lunch and definitely plan on visiting more often. Our waitress Ana was very sweet and accommodating with our requests for extra Wasabe, (which we didn't really need because you get plenty) and Ginger (I love Ginger, if you do as well, I recommend you ask for extra of this delicious root). They're having a St. Patrick's Celebration, maybe I'll stop in for a cocktail. Seems like it would be a fun place. It's on the way home so it will be hard to resist a stop; with very reasonable prices and decent portions, it's a hit for me!!! read more

Awesome lunch special. 3 rolls for 17ish with a soup or salad hits the heart well. High quality rolls, very fresh and the staff was extremely friendly. They also got us in and out because I was there doing my lunch break. What i cannot wrap my head around is the "bento box." I was dying for one and they let me know there's no California roll in the Bento Box. What in the Sam Hill!?! That is very odd, was a bit of a letdown. read more

When we lived in Hoboken we would occasionally stop in for a quick bite but since Covid we moved to Jersey City. We decided to come back recently and were quite disappointed. The prices were substantially higher and the service was below par. It was like the owner doesn't care about his business any more. We have decided to not come back. Illuzion is our new spot. They have a bright airy location with great prices, large portions, cheery staff, BYO bevs and easy access restrooms. read more

I used to come here a lot but the taste has gone downhill. You get charged a larger credit card fee and fees on each fill of a soda. Truly sad they are requiring so many fees. Please avoid if you can. read more

A great neighborhood staple in Hoboken-sushi is definitely worth 4.5 stars and the heartfelt message inside the menu to their customers rounds out the experience to 5 stars. We were all moved by the note included from the staff at Sushi Lounge that thanked those in Hoboken for supporting them during the past few years of the pandemic and gratitude for being able to continue to serve their community. Loved my Philadelphia roll and my On the Waterfront roll-the salmon was perfectly fresh and I loved the spicy mayo. I especially liked that the roll wasn't overly doused in the mayo so I could still taste the fish with a bit of heat. These are the people who deserve your support-make sure to enjoy their outdoor dining this spring/summer! read more

Solid spot- I've been a few times since I live in town but have only eaten in- never take out or delivery. It has a date'y vibe, and the location in Morristown is the original I think (and better in my opinion) anyways went here with friends last week. It was good we ordered a few apps and each got our own rolls- quality was good and service was very nice and accommodating! I really liked rock n roll- that was delish and kani salad is good too! I also ordered salmon cucumber and Atlanta (tuna/avocado) roll. Friends ordered a few other rolls and enjoyed! We also tried a few cocktails- pretty good! I like this spot but it's not my usual for delivery/to-go. Ambience wise it's fun for people visiting or coming from nyc since it's near the PATH train. read more

I ordered take out from the Sushi Lounge (off of Doordash) for lunch and enjoyed it! First off, it actually takes a full hour to show up at your doorstep, so I would order in advance. Here's what I got: - Cucumber Avocado Roll: I added mango & spicy mayo on top and it was AMAZINGGGGG! This was definitely my favorite part of the order. They sent out little foil trays to pour your soy sauce in which was nice. The spicy mayo added a great kick to the roll which was offset by the sweetness of the mango. I would definitely order this again, 10/10! The price was $6 (after the two additions I made at 50 cents each) which wasn't bad, totally worth it. - Vegetable Fried Rice: Totally NOT worth the $9. It wasn't bad, just super bland and there were like 10 very small pieces of random vegetables in there-- pathetic excuse for "vegetable" fried rice. I added some soy sauce and hot sauce from home, which made it so much better. They also did not provide any type of hot sauce or chili sauce (even though I asked for it), which was disappointing. Overall, get something else and skip this (2/10). - Vegetable Gyoza (Pan Fried): I would give this dish an 8/10! It was warm and flavorful with a cabbage/edamame/vegetable mix filling, I believe. They were definitely really crispy on the bottom, which I loved. Overall, they were a little too oily which is why I'd give it an 8. I would probably get these again, they give you 6 pieces for $8, which I think is a pretty standard price. It's nice that the rolls are customizable, you can add a bunch of toppings in or take things out (even on Doordash). Next time, I would stick to the sushi rolls alone, they are definitely their strong suit! read more

Lazy execution. Severely overpriced. Poor management. Overflowing toilets. Olive Garden has higher standards than this place.

I feel a bit torn about my opinion and rating of Sushi Lounge--my first time dining here. Pretty good overall, but not outstanding. My friend and I craved sushi while in Hoboken and not being familiar with a go to spot, Sushi Lounge was one of the choices that came up in a search. I felt slightly ambivalent when I saw the overall Yelp rating. Still, once we arrived, we were drawn by eating outdoors and looked forward to a having a good meal. At first glance, the menu was lengthy and diverse. Cocktail and menu prices comparable to Manhattan. Average cocktail was $15. And the average special roll was also $15. The last page of the menu contained select Thai, Teriyaki and Tempura dishes. The rest of the menu was all about hot & cold appetizers and sushi/roll selections. There was even a combo category, some as much as $40 per person for 3 rolls. As far as drinks, my friend and I ordered the house Pinot Grigio ($9) which was pretty good. We shared an order of the crabmeat shu mai ($7) which was ordinary/standard, almost like the frozen variety. My friend ordered a regular roll, the spicy tuna ($8) and the chicken tempura roll ($15) from the special roll category. For my selections, I ordered the shrimp tempura roll ($8) and the Atomic roll from the special category at $15. Since one roll was fried, I wanted my 2nd roll to be spicy. The waitress recommended the Atomic. When our rolls arrived, it appeared mine were more on the puny side. My friend's rolls were more substantial. She liked her rolls and I also liked mine, for the most part, but felt underwhelmed. For one thing, the shrimp tempura roll was cut into very skinny pieces. As far as the Atomic roll, it was flavorless and a let down especially at that price point. It was supposed to be spicy, but I hardly detected any spice factor. Maybe I chose the wrong rolls. My friend and I swapped a piece which enabled me to try the chicken tempura roll and it was pretty good. A Yelp check in offered a complimentary dessert, choice of any from the menu. We decided on the two flavor tempura ice cream, green tea and vanilla, coated in a tempura batter and fried. To be honest, the dessert was my favorite part of the entire meal. It was $10 on the menu. I don't know. I'm on the fence about Sushi Local. You can definitely run up a tab here and although service and atmosphere was on point, I'm worried about taking another chance and feeling let down. Still, I might consider giving it another try. read more

A1 sushi by my standards at Sushi Lounge. The Coconut Shrimp Roll had a killer flavor profile -- good combination of savory and sweet -- and the Alaskan Roll had hella fresh salmon. I also dug the Kani Salad, though I was bummed that the second time I ordered it that it didn't have any tempura flakes on top like the first time I ordered it. Bit of a consistency issue there. We also got the Lounge Lava Cake to split between me and my two girlfriends, which was absolutely freaking decadent. Bummer though because they didn't include the vanilla ice cream like it was written on the desserts menu, and that really would've taken it to the next level. Service was a bit lackluster. A little slow and our waitress wasn't personable. Additionally the interior is pretty much decorated like a 50 shades dungeon if you know what I mean, so sort of weird vibes in that regard. The tea lights at every table to offset the darkness are cute though. Would return. read more

They do not accept the Yelp Check In Free Dessert voucher. I had been to Sushi Lounge a few times pre covid and always enjoyed the experience, but this visit was terribly disappointing. Our server was very slow and inattentive and our rolls were sub par. The eel avocado was the best dish we ordered... We ordered the Totowa Roll, Coconut Shrimp, and Eel Avocado. The Totowa Roll was very spicy, the coconut shrimp was average and the eel avocado tasted very fresh. read more

Just meh.... very rarely (probably never) am I disappointed after eating sushi but I was so incredibly underwhelmed with this meal. I ordered 2 rolls and a seaweed salad (Kaiso salad) for pickup and the order was ready in 15 minutes. Was happy with the quick order processing... but that's about it. For the rolls: I ordered the autumn roll and Hoboken roll. The Hoboken roll was the biggest disappointment. It's just a bunch of cooked fish wrapped in seaweed. It was just so incredibly bland. All the fish was a grayish color when cooked and you couldn't distinguish the salmon from the tuna from the yellowtail by sight or by taste. This isn't really the restaurant's fault... but just a really poor option for a roll. Needed avocado or a better sauce to really bring the much needed flavor. Neither me or my boyfriend wanted to eat the last half of the roll. The autumn roll was a little better... but again, lacking any flavor at all. The spicy tuna on top was minced to a fine paste and was not spicy at all. It is beyond me why there was no sauce at all on this roll just throw some eel sauce on this... or something!! Another bland roll Lastly, the kaiso salad. Which had an elegant description of an assortment of green seaweed but is really just ur typical seaweed salad that u can buy in bulk at most groceries for like $2. It tasted fine. I know 2 stars is pretty harsh... but let me just say this.... I have probably eaten at over 100 different sushi establishments in my lifetime and not once have I ever not finished a roll due to it being so incredibly unenjoyable to eat. It just wasn't worth the effort to chew. I shouldnt have to pay any extra money to add on sauces. Sadly, I don't think I will give sushi lounge another try. read more
