Sushi Saga - Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Sushi was decent, didn't feel like it was too fresh though. Servers were rude and felt like they were annoyed every time you ask them for something. Sushi here is more about looks than taste. Looks 10/10 as you can see in pics but taste 5/10 read more

Sushi Saga - various types of sushi on a white plate - Japanese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Totally recommend this place. Food is fresh and always tasty. This is one of my favorite places for sushi

The food is great! Sushi is fresh, BUT I will NEVER eat there again. Almost every server has an attitude, and they make you feel like you are inconveniencing them to place another order. I had to raise my hands to get them to move off of the back wall and come closer to the patrons who are eating there! It wasn't very busy, and the service was still lousy. It's terrible that greedy waitresses will ruin something that can be very prominent. In the end, this girl gave herself a $20 dollar tip cuz she said we were a big party. She counted my 6 year old and my 11 year old as adults! The table included my husband, myself, my 80 year old dad, and my 2 little girls! For 3 adults and 2 kids, thye considered that a big party and took the liberty of tipping themselves! read more

Sushi Saga - 2 kids and 2 adults! she considered this to be a big party, and decided to tip herself! - Japanese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

New all-you-can-eat sushi place in Central Jersey. My first though was : 'it's another sushi place, just like the other', the reality is: 'wow! The taste is incredible! Even the simple seaweed salad taste different, its flavor is enhanced and rich. Try the Tuna Tartar, and your palate will be blown away. Amazing place with amazing food. You can order by all you can eat or by ala carte. I recommend to order all you can eat so you can try most of their food. They open late as well, weekend open until 11pm, good for late night food. read more

I have to admit, I like this place a lot more than Sushi Palace. I feel like the food here (particularly the fish) just tastes a lot fresher overall. I've had bad experiences at Sushi Palace where the food tasted like freezer burns or where the food was just extremely overcooked. The service here isn't great and I wouldn't recommend coming here on a date if you're trying to impress someone, but it's a good spot to come with some friends and it's BYOB (Yessss). The service here definitely feels like going to a buffet where they pretty much just ask you what you'd like to drink upon first arriving and then disappear for the rest of your time there, lol. The baked mussels, shrimp tempura, kani salad, and the rolls we tried were all delicious. I wasn't really impressed with was the green tea ice cream (which I was hoping would be the best part of the meal). I would definitely come back here. read more

Sushi Saga - Japanese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Whoever thinks this is good sushi, has not had good sushi. I picked up an order of green salad, a special roll and gyoza. The dressing for the salad was not fresh like it is most places, the gyoza was just ok, but the sushi roll was really bad. It listed three types of fish and avocado in the roll but not every piece had all ingredients, lol. The rice was really pressed together and a bit chewy (yuck!) and it did not include crunch like it said on the menu. I could just tell it was low quality. I'm used to Momataro in Clark or Mizo in Cranford. What a difference and what a mistake I made tonight. read more

All you can eat sushi... take my money. The selection was amazing! It wasn't just limited sushi! So many all you can eat options! The fish was fresh. The rolls were huge. The service was top notch. Really. The service took it to the 5th star. We will be back!! read more

The star rating was definitely a hard choice. I am definitely in between a three and a four star rating for this restaurant. For All You Can Eat (AYCE) restaurants as opposed to buffet style, I am a fan! This restaurant is very similar to Sushi Palace (Summit, Edison, Somerville, Princeton). I've been to all four restaurants several times since I am a fan of AYCE ordering style. Everyone can get what they want and at smaller portions so you have as little or much of something as you would like. Both restaurants provide two paper menus for you to make your selections on and then the food is brought to your table. Here is my comparison review of Sushi Palace vs. Sushi Saga: Price Range: Similar, if not exactly the same price range. Weeknights $21 and different pricing for weekend. Offerings: Sushi: Similar in terms of sushi offerings (sushi, sashimi, rolls, special rolls, etc). I believe Sushi Palace has a tiny bit more on the specialty roll end but in the end, it seemed very, very similar. Quality wise, both restaurants are on par with one another. Hot appetizers: This is where the two restaurants differ the most. Both offer chicken/beef teriyaki/other styles. But I think Sushi Saga offers more of a "fusion" style of offerings in their hot food items. Sushi Palace tries to stick closer to the range of Japaense (admittedly not entirely as they serve "lumpia") but Sushi Saga serves crab rangoons, beef short ribs, peking duck, and other savory plates. Since I have been going to Sushi Palace for so long, I was happy to try something new. I pretty much tried everything on the menu so I could get a sense of the food and to compare to Sushi Palace. I would not recommend the baked mussels (these were dry) or the baked seafood clam appetizer (this was mostly baked imitation crab meat). But the beef short ribs, rock shrimp, shrimp tempura, and tuna tartar dishes were tasty. I was pleasantly surprised that the shrimp tempura came out hot and crispy as if they were freshly fried and brought to my tables (yuuuuum). The peking duck was not my favorite as the duck pieces were tiny and sat on top of much larger buns; it just didn't seem proportional nor was the duck anything special. But, considering its an AYCE style restaurant, at this price point, I am willing to let it slide. Desserts are pretty similar (I think both restaurants offer chocolate, green tea, red bean, vanilla). I don't think Sushi saga did not offer strawberry but I'm not a strawberry girl so it's fine for me. If Sushi Saga could up their dessert game, I think that would make them a big contender against Sushi Palace...just sayin'. I purchased a Yelp Deal for $10 for $5 so I did get $5 off my bill. That made me happy since then it technically brought the price down to sub Sushi Palace pricing. But, hey its the little things right? =) I'll definitely be back again because I'm a sucker for an AYCE sushi restaurant. It just seems more cost effective when eating with others and sharing. I'd recommend giving it a try. read more

The sushi was fine, ambience lacking, service and pricing fair. Stopped in for sushi on way to hotel after flying in to Newark. Chose not to do the 'All You Can Eat' but rather ordered from the menu. One ordered a Maki combo, the other a sushi combo. These came with choice of soup or salad, both of which were fine. Food came quickly, quality fine enough but nothing memorable. Service was lacking, no drink refills or pleasantries. I left satisfied enough with my meal, but also no need to return. read more

Great sushi especially for the price paid. I would definitely go back again for AYCE with my family.

The sushi is good. The udon soup is bland. Tempura is just okay. If you go for "All you can eat": you get two menus to pick sushi and small plates. You are encouraged to order small to make sure that you don't waste food. When they think you're ready, you get to order again. After 2 rounds, regardless of whether you are done, regardless of how small a portion you ate, they stop giving you the menus and just hand you the check, as if to suggest that you should leave. That was kind of disappointing. I will still go again, but the value of the AYCE option is not worth it. Also, because of the BYOB, there was a really loud drunk guest that made my second visit there unpleasant. read more

I came here with my friend today because we were craving for some sushi. Good thing that we stopped in here because the food was fantastic! The salmon sashimi was delicious and the seaweed salad had the perfect taste. The edamame was good just like any other Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere of this place was comfortable and was not too noisy. The waitress was friendly but we had to ask them to refill our drinks. I would definitely come back here to eat again. read more

This spot was okay, there was a wait time which is understandable because it's an all you can eat spot. It's very small, so it's best if you go on time. I ordered veg soup but honestly it was nothing like veg soup ( I was very disappointed). This sushi was filling and that was it, It wasn't good quality sushi which is understandable again because it's all you can eat. read more

Avoid. Cheap. Poor quality. These are the three things that you should have in mind when contemplating a meal at Sushi Saga. It's quite a telling story when your restaurant is under 50% filled at 7pm on a Friday night. The sushi portions are extremely cheap (from the restaurant). The sushi is packed with way too much rice in proportion to the fish slice. Cheap restaurants like Sushi Saga do this to cut costs by filling the customer's stomach with cheap rice and less expensive fish. While I understand this, the amount of rice in each piece was excessive. Venture away from this restaurant; you will not get your money's worth. The second egregious issue was the fish quality. It's one thing to fill customer stomachs with cheap rice. It's another to feed poor quality fish. Our yellowtail pieces were spotty even though the pieces we had eaten before were fine. When approached, the owner tried to play it off as ALBACORE TUNA. I straight up said "no, this is yellowtail". That was the first sign that he was lying. The second was the fact he tried to convince us that spotty fish should be normal. No, I want clean fish if I am eating it raw. This is a potential health hazard for any customers. Avoid this place. read more

I like sushi, my wife is lukewarm on it. So we went here, me thinking I would go for their "all-you-can-eat" option, and she figured she would get a few non-raw fish items, perhaps some soup, maybe California rolls, etc. Well, as soon as we started to order they told us their policy would not permit me to order all-you-can-eat, and her to order a la carte; their policy is, if one person at the table goes for all-you-can-eat, then everyone else at the table must too. Most ridiculous policy I have ever encountered in a restaurant. I wasn't going to insist my wife order a feast when all she wanted was a taste. I politely told them their policy was ridiculous, put on our coats, and went elsewhere to eat sushi. read more

WTF did I just eat? My boyfriend discovered this place because of the rave reviews and it was close by after our movie date. I was a bit nervous about eating here since my last sushi meal was omakase... boy did I have every right to be nervous. We ordered a bunch of sashimi, two rolls and appetizers. The sushi quality is very low here, I physically had to spit back out at least 3 pieces... I'm pretty certain it wasn't fresh at all. The only thing that seemed okay was the salmon. We had albacore tuna, red clam, tuna tartare, red snapper, kani, tobiko, pepper salmon, squid, salmon, white tuna and eel. None of the fish impressed me, it was all cheap, low quality and not fresh. For rolls we had the butterfly which barely had any lobster by the way, it was filled with rice. My boyfriend ordered the fire cracker because of all the rave reviews but he was disappointed. His one word review? " Meh" It really was mediocre.. nothing spectacular nor was there a pop of flavor. As for the appetizers, we had seaweed salad, yaki tori, peking duck, rock shrimp and beef ribs. The seaweed salad was too salty and saucy for me. The yaki tori was meh, it was dry and shriveled up.. The peking duck was eh, it was mostly duck skin? the bun was hard.. it already missed two of the major points in having a successful peking duck.. duck meat and steamed soft buns... Rock shrimp and beef ribs were okay though.. For dessert we finished off with red bean, green bean ice cream and fresh fruit which turned out to be a sliced orange. I'm disappointed with this place because this was not worth $25 AYCE. $18 at most.. but even then, food shouldn't be so bad to the point that I had to spit it out? The saddest part the only thing I liked out of this whole meal was the green tea ice cream.. and it's not even made by them nor is it their specialty.. This place totally missed at having great sushi.. I'm giving this place an extra star because the service was great, they were very attentive and friendly. I'm just sorry that their food sucks. read more

Sushi Saga - Japanese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

21$ for all you can eat sushi! The best way I can review this place's all you can eat is by comparing it to Sushi Palace. (Their menu is essentially the same.) Sushi Saga is slightly better than Sushi Palace- there's "fresher" sashimi and tad bit better service. The sushi pieces are definitely on the smaller side, but they're packed with sushi and other ingredients. Their appetizers and hot foods, like the beef short ribs, tuna tartare, and tempura vegetables, are quite tasty as well. I want to shout out the eel avocado hand rolls because every bite had a good amount of eel and avocado, and was delicious! Overall, I'm pretty impressed with this place, and will be coming back. I would recommend trying out their all you can eat sushi option! read more

To put it bluntly, we saw the coupon ads in the Clipper Middlesex magazine and decided that it wouldn't hurt to try this seemingly knock-off of the infamous Sushi Palace. They have both a regular menu and an all you can eat menu and they carry quite a few same options that Sushi Palace does. However, they differentiate themselves with a few more dishes on both the kitchen and sushi menu, such as tuna tartar, pecking duck buns and surprisingly short ribs. The sushi itself was fine, it honestly doesn't taste that different from Sushi Palace. Regardless, it's the same as Sushi Palace to me, but with a few little differences here and there. It's worth a shot, especially if you have a coupon, but if you weren't a fan of Sushi Palace then don't bother trying here. read more

Hands down my favorite AYCE sushi restaurant and I've been to plenty! First of all, there was no wait on a Sunday! We came a little earlier than dinner time, but when we left, there were still a couple of tables open. One of my favorite things about this place is their variety of appetizers. They had really really good appetizers from short ribs to crab Rangoon (my fav) and so much more! The fish here is definitely FRESH! Although probably previously frozen, it was still delectable. They also don't put tons of rice in their rolls or nigiri (HELL YES). Service here is also great, got our waters refilled and they were attentive. Now let's compare this place to their competitor: Sushi Palace. Sushi Palace is also located in Edison and its probably 10 minutes further from Rutgers than this place. Service here is better than SP because they actually speak English and come back to refill our waters. Food is better as well. SP: 0 SS: 3. I think it's even a bit cheaper too but holyyyy I'm craving again! read more

Sushi Saga - Sushi Special Combo - Japanese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I'm blown away... let me be clear, I'm not saying they deserve a 5 star review based on quality, ambience or service. There are better places for all that. However I cannot give them less than 5 stars, because having had the all you can eat sushi/sashimi/everything I expected the quality or assortment to be subpar, but I tell you that for $22.99 you get decent everything and it's all to order, not a buffet, you can just keep ordering. again, I am BLOWN AWAY by the incredible value for decent sushi/sashimi!! read more

Came here for the second time on a Saturday evening with a large group of 9 people for AYCE and with tax/tip came out to about $30 per person. SERVICE - 5 stars - Our table was set up and ready when we got there (with reservation made an hour in advance) and we were seated right away even though not everyone arrived at the same time. Half of our party started ordering/eating first. The restaurant was adequately staffed and we never had to wait whenever we needed help from the waitresses. Everyone was very friendly and the food came out fast! AMBIENCE - 4 stars - Casual and relaxed. Great for party of all sizes. The usual sushi restaurant decor. Simple and clean. FOOD - 4 stars - Good variety of everything. Sashimi was fresh and sushi special rolls were delicious. I especially enjoyed [CRAZY LADY]! The [UDON NOODLE SOUPS] were pretty good as well but I do wish they offer ramen noodles. Overall everything came out very good! [SPICY SEAWEED SALAD] - This is delicious when mixed with [KANI SALAD]! [RED? SNAPPER WITH JALAPENO] - Very refreshing, bite-sized, pretty good. [PEKING DUCK] - My favorite appetizer that's not fish! Small piece of meat on a piece of flat bun/bread with some yummy sauce. [MISO SOUP] - Salty with barely any tofu or seaweed. PASS. [GREEN TEA ICE CREAM] - Very creamy which I love! [FRESH FRUIT] - Just slices of oranges. *Skip the regular Maki rolls/hand rolls and just get sashimi and special rolls if you don't want to be filled up with rice! *Online menu does not have everything that they offered for AYCE. *BYOB! read more

All you can eat, BYOB, and decent prices. I really enjoyed the food. I'm not very savvy when it comes to sushi and I've often been hesitant to try new rolls out of fear of what certain fish would taste like but I ate everything we ordered and it was all so delicious. People say they use too much rice. Personally I liked the rice because it was cooked perfectly so I didn't mind it at all. Our appetizers came out quickly but there were at times long gaps between our food which was the only real downside. The restaurant itself is clean and family-friendly. The staff is attentive and very nice. In comparison to Sushi Palace, I think this may be my new favorite sushi bar. The quality of the food was better and this restaurant doesn't feel as cramped or dark. I have no idea what rolls are in my picture but I recommend trying everything because like I said, they were ALL exquisite. read more

The sashimi and sushi are very good. A little pricey!! There are many choices of food including hot foods like udon, teriyaki.

Decent selection of appetizers and rolls...at a cost. Sacrificing quality for quantity. On the plus side, it's BYOB... as are other similar AYCE establishments that offer better quality. read more

Completely underwhelming but as this was the 2nd time I've eaten here I shouldn't have been surprised. Sushi Saga gets a very decent crowd for it's all you can eat sushi, last night was no exception. It was packed, making me feel like I needed to give it another shot. I didn't do the all you can eat but it's 23.99 per person and they will charge you for any uneaten sushi but that's typical. I ordered the volcano roll and a winter roll, some beef negimaki and red clam sushi a la carte. All the rolls tasted exactly the same. No type of flavor distinction at all. Just a ball of mush in my mouth. Plain and simple sustenance. The negimaki was just okay. The beef was nice and tender and warm but the scallions inside were cold so it was a very interesting sensation to say the least. The sauce was tasty but very goopy to me and I've had better. I'm pretty positive I won't ever be back here. I love sushi and if I was more patient I would have went to Sushi Sazuki in Metuchen which is an excellent restaurant. I really wanted to give it one star but the negimaki was aiight and the service was decent. However one of my 3 servers just plopped the check on my table without asking me if I wanted anything else and I was considering ordering ice cream but said nahhh I'm good..if you don't want anymore money I won't give it to ya. read more

It's not your "average", AYCE. Sushi rolls aren't pre-made and you're going up to grab the ones you like on a plate. You are given a paper to check off desired rolls && then it's made freshly for you. The service was pretty good && they practice social distancing. For the price and quality and a quick sushi fix. Def recommend! Do also have the pecking duck for the appetizer! read more

Updating my review because the service is pretty bad now. I was actually one of the first people to write a review on here... whenever I go now they just stare at you and take like ten minutes in between giving you food. The one lady had my card for a good 10 minutes after swiping it before giving it back, so I don't know what that was all about... food is great, but you're pushing people away with your service. read more
