We tried this restaurant for lunch on a Tuesday after having read all the good reviews. Honestly the experience wasn't great - the salad had sprinkled water to make it look fresh and the spicy mayo and the accompanying salad dressing were watery. I thought the spicy mayo is suppose to be thick but clearly they added some water to that. We ordered the spicy salmon and spicy shrimp roll but unfortunately for us there was not any trace of salmon in the roll. It was some fried crisp stuffed into the roll (i have experienced this at so many other Sushi restaurants but its always towards the bottom or mixed with salmon rather than the whole roll containing it). Also, this was the first time I had a sushi wherein I could see so much oil in the plate (which am thinking was from that fried stuffing). You get what you pay for after all! Won't go again. read more

my favorite sushi spot because the sushi is hands down amazing. however, the employees are extremely rude and do not treat their customers how a proper establishment would treat their customers. i just don't think it's worth it to buy sushi from a place that does not respect the individuals purchasing it. read more

Amazing food and even better service. Blows Sushi Palace away by far. Also they actually give you your entire order unlike Sushi Palace. The manager is a great guy and always super friendly. We like to come here at least three times a month! read more

Good sushi and fast ordering and takeout. (After 5pm, have not gone during lunch or later).

Great food from both the kitchen and the sushi bar but service is poor. Servers much more concerned with cell phones than customers.

One of my favorite all you can eat Sushi places. I actually enjoy the kitchen entrées more than the sushi, not that it isn't good but because of the unique things they have. The staff are friendly and it's always a lovely experience! read more

just moved to the area from New York; sushi is one of my favorite things to eat & i can easily have it every day. Food has been pretty good so far.. tried spicy salmon roll (not the freshest), spicy kani roll, & shrimp tempura - they consider shrimp tempura a "special roll" and charge double the price for it than that of a regular roll which it should be. Asked for beef negimaki in a bento box, which they don't offer, but I've never experienced a sushi restaurant not accommodate a simple request; sushi saga unfortunately declined and I ended up just ordering it as an appetizer. Disappointing customer service, pretty good flavor for food so far. read more

Good food inconsistent service. One time I went everything was speedy, last time I went I think they forgot about me and I waited 30mins for a soup. read more

Way better than sushi palace! I was a regular to sushi palace till my friend told me about sushi saga.

Decently priced Japanese sushi bar. The restaurant's Teriyaki sauce is worth a try and they have an awesome buffet for sushi bar. Enjoyed the food and service. read more

Sushi was delicious. Staff was super accommodating to my avocado allergy; making rolls special without it. I was pleasantly surprised!!

The food is good however service is a hit or miss. Buffet is well worth the price. If you are looking for decent sushi than this is a great place to go, especially if really hungry. read more

This place was very good for the price. We had the AYCE sushi and left feeling very full! The waitresses were nice and attentive. We will definitely be returning. read more

I love this place I will be returning very soon but with people instead of eating alone like a creepy person no life

I thought the food was good. The service is very quick as well. They have a lot of choices to pick from and even specialty rolls. Many appetizers available also on the ayce. I think it is worthwhile and a decent value. read more

Sushi saga has been my go to place for all you can eat sushi since its opening. I frequent the place with friends and always get all you can eat and go until bursting point. The food usually comes out rather quickly, maybe 5-10 minutes tops depending on what you order if its from their kitchen menu. What I like about this place is that they stagger the dishes so it feels like the food is constantly coming out and there isn't a wait between dishes. However, I usually go there for lunch so I don't know what the dinner rush is like. The food itself is pretty good standalone. If I had to compare it to other sushi places, I'd say its above average but its not necessarily the best sushi I've ever eaten. Considering the amount I order, the quantity certainly justifies the cost. My friends and I usually order the tuna tartar, bbq squid, shrimp tempura, teriyaki red snapper, chicken katsu, edamame and miso soup to start. Tuna tartar is definitely my favorite starting food and its so cute since its shaped like a heart! It's moist and flavorful and always a good starter before sushi. Dishes like bbq squid and teriyaki red snapper are pretty good, but my only complaint is the food is literally swimming in sauce(which is tasty but i don't like my fish swimming when I eat it). As for the sushi, I always order yellowtail and dragon roll at least. I think I've ordered every roll at least once and all of them have pretty good combinations of flavors as well as common rolls, though I don't remember all the names off the top of my head. They also accommodate my friends' request to have one scoop of red bean and green tea icecream every single time. All in all, I can't think of any time I've been unsatisfied eating here! It has great variety, attentive staff, the food is good and their mints at the register are my favorite. read more

Been here a few times for all you can eat. Came back just to give it another chance hoping it'd be different. The quality of the food is average, freshness of the fish will depend on the day. It's not the best in town. read more

I'm never disappointed in Sushi Saga. Fresh fish, great value, BYOB. You just can't go wrong.

Good service and decent food. There's a big variety from Peking duck to L.A. Style Korean bbq. The salmon sushi and sashimi I ate tasted pretty fresh. Everything was decent and fast. read more

Great alternative to Sushi Palace in Edison where the service is terrible. Food quality is generally the same as Sushi Palace (and what you would expect at a place like this). Though there are a few additional choices at Sushi Saga that make it worth coming here. The top one was the beef short rib. Get a few orders of that one. Really tasty. Also good were the various sashimi bites. Will come back here when the need for sushi bingeing strikes again. read more

Sushi Saga - Japanese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Everything is perfect. Fresh food and sushi, fast and friendly service, a lot of variety of kitchen and sushi menu to choose from.

Came with 2 friends, food was excellent, Service a little slow and they did forget a couple of items when I first ordered so I had to re-order those items, Waite staff were very accommodating and friendly. Definitely going back. read more

Food is always fresh here, whether you order sushi or something hot. I've eaten in the restaurant and have gotten take out. Again, always fresh and delicious. They have a very easy way to order using their website and or you can call and place an order for pickup. Staff is friendly and helpful. Their all you can eat option for in the restaurant is great if you're especially hungry. Don't let your eyes be bigger than your stomach (in other words, don't order too much food, no matter how delicious if you can't eat it all). Still, great place for lunch or dinner be it if you're picking up or ordering out. I get food from here regularly and each time I get the utmost best. read more

Very good bang for your 20 plus bucks. Go hungry...leave happy truly applies to this place. All you can eat is the way to go. Their hot and cold offerings go beyond the regular all you can eat place and the freshness of the items made to order is way above average. Their short ribs, peking duck buns are welcomed aditions to the usual offerings in other places of the sort. read more

This place is awesome. I've been going here for awhile now. The all you can eat menu is fantastic. Great kitchen menu. Great sushi menu. It's not just a great all you can eat place. It's a great sushi restaurant. I almost don't want to leave this review because they're starting to get crazy busy during peak hours but I can be selfish. This place rocks!!! read more

Amazing sushi!!!!! Definitely would suggest! Fresh, tasty, clean !!!! I tried this place out on a whim and came out pleasently surprised

This is the best sushi place in Edison... the place is clean, quiet and food was fresh and delicious! Aside from being reasonably priced they also have a wide assortment of food :) read more

Iv'e been to this place numerous of times, it never disappoints me. Great flavorful food. The place is very clean and decor is nice. I would recommend it! read more

I thought the sushi as sooo good. the all you can eat option is ridiculous. nice atmosphere and nice people

Food was OK. But the customer service was horrible! Waitresses were very rude, non attentive, gave my wife and I bad looks when we asked for help, slow, distracted, did not speak English at all and not even a thank you when we paid the check. Thank god I did not tip one cent. NEVER RETURNING TO SUSHI SAGA! read more

Food is great! We've been going here for years! But I learned something Wednesday evening that may change my views! As a single mother that struggled through a divorce at 22 with two young kids, I started over on a restaurant job...depending on tips and regulars was just how I did it! And It really upsets me when you come across that place that ever so often, has there "servers" collect tips, and has them hand them in to ownership... but pays a $8-$9 base pay and ownership Keeping the tips.... ????? it turns me off! It's misleading and perhaps even illegal! I'm going to look into that. Especially as I am someone whom will reward great service w a 25% gratuity. I learned that the $20 I leave for excellent service (or $8 when we were a bit disappointed) was actually going straight to ownership! So I have been paying double for that California roll ! I don't know...... doesn't seem right!!!!! Misleading really! If the place was super slow, perhaps rule on Monday night, than maybe ownerships making up for a slow time.... making sure the servers make a base pay (remember servers are making less than $3 hour and depend on tips) but Friday / Saturday night as tables are turning and there are $5-10's-even 20's being rewarded on each table for great service! Shame on these places that mislead the great tippers!!! And think there hard earned cash is going where it is deserved!!!! read more

I enjoyed the food. The AYCE was tempting but I ordered a few simple rolls instead. Loved the peanut avocado roll btw. My wife ordered a roll along with an udon soup and she shared a few of the noodles with me. I might have to order one of those for myself next time. We are definitely going back. read more

My wife and I have been to Sushi Saga twice thus far, and the same staff was on hand both times. The first time was more of a learning experience on what to expect and how to handle the staff. Of course, the fact that we returned was a good sign. The majority of the sit-down "all you can eat" sushi places try to regulate you somewhat. What we learned at our first visit was that a lot of what was written down on the slips did not make it to the table. We didn't know exactly what was missing, but we knew it was a lot. We arrived prepared the second visit, and I urge you to be prepared as well. Bring a pad, and write down everything you are ordering before turning their sheet in. Then turn in their sheet, and watch the waiter negotiate with the sushi chefs in Japanese as to what to put on your plate. You can imagine the surprised reaction of all the waitstaff when I told them that we had a record of everything we ordered, and that 6 items were missing! When they asked what, I pulled out the pad and showed them. Needless to say, we didn't have that issue the rest of the night. Once they know you're not kidding around, the shenanigans stop. They will now make an agreement with you that they will bring some now, and bring some later. That will not be an issue, because they cannot conveniently "forget". You're armed. As the items came to the table, we crossed them off our personal list. This is a must, and will make for an enjoyable experience. The staff is friendly enough. It seems they are the owners. They're not fully business savvy yet, but they are young and their business just opened. The atmosphere is nice and the place is clean. Refills on tea and water arrived without having to ask. Bottom line is the food is outstanding. There are rolls that we haven't seen before. They can do "spicy" any way you want. We personally don't like it done the crunch way, so that's good. They have hand rolls. They have sashimi. They have a "kitchen" menu that is also part of the "all you can eat". That was a first for us. There you will find soups, salads, udon noodles, appetizers, teriyaki dishes, and desserts. These kitchen menu portions are small, but very tasty. All dishes are presented very nicely. The fish cake udon soup, red snapper teriyaki, and butterfly rolls are a must! Once you have the staff knowing that you are completely in charge, your experience will be delightful. You can focus on the food. You will get your money's worth and leave plenty satisfied. We'll be back, and so will you. Don't forget your pad! read more

We come here all the time and salmon and eels are always on our list. The eels were falling apart and the Salmon's looked old and soft. We finished everything expect for those 2. The waiter took the plates away and came back and said we had finish it. Told him the Salmon's are not fresh then the boss came and said "its very expensive, you have to finish it". They should know the fish is fresh and didn't even apologized for his attitudes. Told him we can finish it but we'll call health department if we get sick and he just walked away. FYI we're not the first to complain about the old fish here. read more

Disappointed. 3 hand rolls. Mostly rice very thin piece of fish. Miso soup was watery.

This was my favorite place to go to for sushi, I told everyone about it. But as I continued to go the customer service became non-existent. The waitresses all hung out behind the bar in the back and talked about the customers in Chinese and laughed at them. Walked around to stare at you with your empty plates and empty cups. My friend and I were ignored for an hour with only 4 tables (includes ours) filled with customers (mind you this is after waiting 30 minutes for a table). I finally got up to give our order to one of the employees and asked for refills of water. The employee dropped my order on the bar as if I had a disease or something. He scoffed and rolled his eyes before turning to talk to another employee about me in Chinese. The waitress came to take our cups from the table just to return it a couple minutes later with no ice and smelling like toilet water (it also had particles floating in it). The whole while they ignored us and made snide comments in Chinese as they passed. Didn't get our check until we stood up to leave and I asked for our check. When the employee came to ring me up check he declared that we had to pay a "required service charge" of 15%. I asked what "service" he declared that last time I didn't tip and this time he knew I wasn't tipping (the passing waitress told him about me not tipping last time and then they both said a bunch of curse words and called us names in Chinese before he went to the register. I assume this is when he added the service charge). I told him we definitely do not tip when we have poor service like the last time we were there and tonight. He said once without tip is fine but not twice. And that it doesn't matter, "tips are required!" I asked where does it say that. Tips are for good service. If we were ignored throughout our time there and called names in Chinese, of course there would be no tip. Gratuity is allowed if I have a party more than a certain amount of people. He then stated again that tips are required and was going to charge me 15% as a "service charge". I then asked him if he went to a restaurant to pay for service and food and was ignored would he tip. He hesitantly nodded and I said "no you wouldn't." He then noticed the other customers looking and he offered to remove this "service charge" as a "favor" this one time but he doesn't want any arguments next time and he demands tip be left regardless of service. After swiping my card again he threw my card at me smiled and said "oops sorry" Definitely not going to recommend this to anyone else and will stop going due to the service we received and the treatment we endured today. So if you want mediocre food combined, non-existent customer service, employees making fun of you and laughing at you while you sit there unaware, and hidden charges and fees. Please be my guest. I however will not tolerate this. read more

I'm literally sitting in this restaurant right now writing this review, I've been here a few times before based off the referral by a friend and I must say the food is actually pretty good, However their horrible customer service makes it harder and harder to patronize this place of business. I swear I must've been here 7 times in total and the only good experience was the very first time. The waitresses are rude, disrespectful, and have no sense of manners or courtesy. Literally the food is good but the waitresses are TRASH!!!! like bottom of the barrel. So buyer beware you're going to get good food but your customer service will be highly lacking basically completely absent. read more

one thing i love about jersey is how there are a plethora of all-you-can-eat, made-to-order sushi buffets... sometimes two or three in the same town. i've been to both sushi palace and sushi saga and honestly, both are great. if sushi palace is super busy, i'd go to sushi saga. if sushi saga is packed, i'd drive my booty over to sushi palace. there is no lose-lose situation here. enjoy! read more

After seeing all these reviews and high ratings, I decided to give it a try. Needless to say I was quite disappointed. I hail from South Jersey, so I had already been exposed to the quality of Sushi Kingdom, which is already pretty good. First we were greeted with two stony faced waitresses who barely responded to anything we asked. Whatever, maybe they're having a bad night. I ordered and waited patiently for the food, which came quite quickly, but there's a catch: they brought it to the wrong table. Normally I wouldn't mind, but there was literally two other parties dining in the restaurant. This was not the efficiency I expected from an AYCE place. They didn't even apologize and threw the plate down for my table. I waited for my other orders, and they brought them to the wrong table four times. You'd think they had known by now! Honestly, the experience wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the rude waitresses who were busy chatting with the sushi chefs and giving my table dirty looks (it's not my fault you wrote the table number on my order wrong!!!). Furthermore, the quality of the food was just under what I'm used to at Sushi Kingdom, and so I don't see the reason for the hype of this restaurant. The sushi rolls were pretty good, but the sashimi came out warm (?) and didn't taste fresh AT ALL. All in all, it wasn't worth it to go there. read more

I have taken out food from here once, and been here twice. Not horrible, but definitely not great. There are other a lot of sushi places within 15 minutes of here that I would rather go to, so most probably will not be returning. A few days after they first opened, I ordered one roll, just to see what their food was like (actually went to pick up pizza a few doors down, but was curious). The place looked nice, the roll (salmon avocado) was "okay." My first visit was while my DD was at a dance lesson in that strip mall, and we were hungry, so we decided to give it a try (myself, DW, and Sister-in-Law (SIL)). My SIL is not a big sushi lover, so wanted to get something off the menu -- the restaurant has a rule that either everyone at the has the all-you-can eat *AYCE) menu, or no one (we usually go to Asahi, which is okay with someone ordering from the menu). [If you come in a large group, keep this in mind if some want the AYCE and some do not.] They did have a few non-fish/sushi items on their all-you-can eat menu, so all three of us ordered from it. We ordered a lot of different items to get a sense of their selection (especially me). Some of the stuff from the kitchen was actually very good, such as the Peking Duck, which is not on most AYCE menus (although a very, very, little piece - I should have ordered 2 or 3). I was looking forward to the baked mussels (also usually not on these type of menus), but the sauce they placed on it was not to my liking. The Red Snapper Teriyaki sounded interesting, and it sounded a lot better than it tasted. We also ordered other regular type items from this menu (especially the SIL), and nothing really stood out for us. Now onto the sushi/sashimi/rolls - they were okay. I made the mistake of ordering rolls with the Mango (once again, different than most AYCE places), and was not happy with them. The sushi/sashimi we had was okay - it just did not taste very "fresh." I was happy that they had eel sushi (my one big complaint about Asahi), however, I did not like the consistency of the eel (too hard), and though the kabayaki (eel sauce) was to sweet. I did like the fact that they did have a nice small platter of fresh fruit as part of their desserts. So far it was on "okay" experience, glad we tried it, but would probably not come again. When we finished the food, and before dessert, my DW got my DD from the dance class and brought her back to the restaurant. She did not eat anything, except did take a spoon or two of my DW's ice cream. When we got the check, they charged us for my DD. The waitress said she thought our DD was eating with us the whole time (we were one of three tables with people during the entire time and one other person at the sushi bar - you did not see that she was missing during the entire meal?) [She was not extremely attentive, even with so few people in the restaurant.] Yes, there are some that may say that she should not have had any "taste" and because of it, we are responsible for paying for a full meal - to that I say, what planet are you from? Maybe if she had the entire (small) dish of ice cream, or if she was an older kid, but at 6-7 years old, it's not reasonable. Yes, the manager did remove her charge, but it still left a bad taste in our mouths. A few months later I had called in a prescription at the nearby pharmacy. When I went to pick it up, it was not ready, and had at least a half hour to kill. I did not want pizza, so decided to give this place another try (hey, the first time was soon after they opened, and may have had a few kinks - and figured I would give them the benefit of the doubt). I did order a few different things (including the udon soup, which was not bad, and tripled the order of the Peking Duck), but the fish used in the sashimi & rolls was still lacking that "fresh" taste. I had also sat at the sushi bar, so I had service from both the waiter, and the shokunin (the person making the sushi), and once again the place was not very busy, so had my various dishes served very quickly from both of them - and would give five stars for service during this visit. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more
