This used to be my family's favorite restaurant. It appears the owners no longer come in and have left the place to be run by staff/children. The sushi bar appears dusty and unclean. The entire staff sat in the back of the restaurant today eating behind us as we sat at the sushi bar. The man making our sushi was eating lunch and preparing our sushi... being sanitary when preparing and handling food appears to have gone out the window. It saddens me that after 10 years this establishment has now lost us as patrons. I can't say that the food doesn't taste good because it does - it's the cleanliness of the establishment that worries us. Also, not sure how I feel about them eating and serving us simultaneously... it's truly a shame, we loved this place. read more

I came here with a large group of 15 people for a friend's birthday dinner. The kitchen food and sushi was very good for all-you-can-eat. So, why am I not rating this place higher? I have several reasons: 1. The service. The servers were downright rude to us. They would often place things in an unorganized manner or not in an easy way for my group to share things. If anyone had a question, servers often would be defensive or would ignore the question. Not cool. 2. The way items were plated. Our various orders arrived on large plates. There was barely enough room on the table to fit these plates and for us to share the items easily. Someone in the group often had to hold a large platter of sushi in order for someone else to grab their sushi off of it and also while they were eating it. For the money we paid, that's obnoxious. 3. Policy. If one person in the group wants all-you-can eat, everyone has to get it. This is silly. I don't need to say anything else. This place may be close by and convenient, but I'd prefer to go to other all-you-can-eat sushi spots, especially due to the service alone. read more

All you can eat Sushi $25 I seem to always come here when my brother is in town who can eat a whole elephant ha - so this place hits the mark. The sushi is OK (not the best I ever had) but for that price its ok. They give you paper forms to fill out like most all you can eat places. They are slow to make it - which I assume is done on purpose so you don't keep ordering more ha. They also WILL charge you extra if you do not finish whats on your plate (happened once to us). Pros: Cheap good all you can eat sushi Pros: BYOB!!!!! Con: Place is a little dirty and needs a cleaning Con: They service is not the friendliest read more

The food is bombastic especially for an all you can eat restaurant. Ugh and their red bean ice cream!!!. Very disappointed this place has low rating soley because of its service angry looks. They're super fast and are always there to take your order. Who cares if they have a smile. You're there to eat not looks a pretty faces. read more

25 for all you can eat ? Can't go wrong there. Staff is friendly and food is really good.

They raised their prices within the last 6 months... I only go now on weeknights. Food is typical for a sushi buffet but has never been truly bad, which I've learned you can't take for granted at various Japanese buffets in Bergen county. The last time we went the service had noticeably improved thanks for a new waitress who is very polite & friendly. We never had to ask for water refills but did have to ask for tea refills. Food comes quickly. All of that being considered, Sushi X is a pretty good buffet. read more

Bad sushi and stale kitchen food. Not impressed with this place at all. Honestly it was probably the worst sushi I've eaten. It seems that that most of the items from menu is being pre-prepared and stored that's why it felt that food was stale and tasteless. It's explains the fast service as well. Can't simply prepare quality food so fast. Not a good idea for your typical sushi outing. read more

This place is always outstanding. The service is always so quick, they are polite and the food is so delicious. They are an all you can eat and can't over order because you will be charged for extra so just order as you go. It is not to loud and pretty big tables. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! read more

Sushi X - Sesame Chicken - Japanese Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

I am extremely surprised that nobody has commented on the lack of hygiene in this restaurant. The food is great each time and it kept us coming back. No complaints. But the entire back area is covered in flies and ants. Visible dirt and garbage all over the floors when you make your way to the restroom. The bathroom looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a year, with an ant infestation and all. And this is no exaggeration, and it gets worse each time we visit. My children were unable to use the restroom and this resulted in a very unpleasant experience. This was my third visit because the food is great but it really makes you wonder what's happening in the kitchen if the place itself is so dirty. And why isn't anyone cleaning the restroom?! read more

Showed up but was told to make a reservation after we were told it would be more than an hour. Called another day and informed us we couldn't make reservations and to call 15 mins before we arrived. Called and were told by Crystal that we had to wait. We waited and after 30 mins, we got placed all the way in the back by their service area. We were there for 2 mins before I noticed a big roach behind my boyfriend. We walked out right after that. They are rude, dirty, and don't even adhere to any social distancing. They are so greedy and careless that all the tables are bunched up on one another, and not to mention very rude. read more

My daughter picked up food today for lunch. Long story short, after checking the order In the car, went back in to request eel sauce and spicy mayo, guy sitting in chair said "sorry I forgot" and throws in "you're F&$king pissing me off" at the end. Last time we'll order from here. Hopefully your customer service improves. read more

I walked in here with a few friends thinking it would be nice to go to an all you can eat sushi buffet for only 25 dollars each person! Well we were wrong. What should have been 150-160 dollars at most came to a bill of 186 dollars. While someone of you don't mind the extra 20 was a bad experience for us broke college students. We never ordered any drinks nor did we order extras that costed money, so why did they charge us an extra 36 dollars from the actual price of everything? Yes, that was the service fee. I understand that people think its common sense to "tip" the waitress, the service wasn't that great at all because they really rushed us, and then we were obligated to pay for them. Instead of 25 dollars per person we had to pay 31 dollars, which most of us were really unprepared for. The food was good, but the sashimi felt lacking and a little bland. If anything i recommend Teaneck Sushi Buffet rather than Sushi X, because they seem to give a better solid price for what you're expecting, and the quality of the sushi is about the same. Of course if you were to go to sushi x as a table of 2 then maybe they won't charge you a huge service fee, but if you bring more than 4 people i say stay away! read more

It should be 3.5 stars actually Not a bad place, especially in terms of value for the money. We went there for lunch ($12.95 Mon-Thu, $13.95 Fri-Sun). Menu comprises of kitchen portion and Sushi portion. There are no sashimi and no a la cart sushi in the lunch menu - only regular rolls and specialty rolls. All food tasted fresh, everything which cam from kitchen was nice and hot. Specialty sushi rolls (Dragon roll, for instance) were not as elaborate as in some other places, but still good taste and quality, and of course great value for the price. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely come back. read more

If you have a big appetite for sushi/Japanese food and are limited on budget, this is the place to go. Pros: - Worth the price for all you can eat - Sashimi is also available! - It is not one of those walk up and grab the food so you don't have to worry about contamination from others - Amazing variety of choices on the all you can eat menu Cons: - The sushi aren't normal sizes, they're smaller and the fish does not taste as great as a regular sushi joint. - The waitress the first time around wasn't very nice. The second time I went, the one waitresses' cellphone kept going off playing obnoxious music. - The more I got, the slower the service got. I wasn't even full and I just left because waiting between plates got ridiculously long. - YOU HAVE TO EAT EVERYTHING. Be careful. If you do not eat, they will charge you for each piece you wasted. Do what I do: order a little at a time. read more

I have eaten here on multiple occasions. Probably four. Each time has become progressively worse. It had started out fresh and appealing. One, because the food was fresh and two because it's one of the few sushi buffet restaurants in the area that is made-to-order. Now, the most recent time, I went the sushi was not fresh and left me feeling queasy. I greatly appreciate the broad menu and the made-to-order idea but I'd rather go to Sakura Bana and get quality sushi a-la-carte. I may get less and pay more at Sakura Bana but at least I know it'll be fresh and delicious. For all you can eat sushi, this place is priced well. The service is alright too. It often gets very busy on weekends. And just know that if you ask to take home any of your leftover sushi from the buffet option, you will be charged an extra fee (I think $10?). read more

For the price/service, I wouldn't say it was worth it. Also, they sell oicha tea for a high price which is a bit criminal, might as well get a Ramune for the same price. I ordered a lot, people didn't inform how much food there was but at least they didn't charge me for finishing two of them. Kitchen stuff: BBQ squid: Good, I'd get it again. Nice sauce Kani salad was quite solid Pepper Tuna: Fine, Wasabi had a nice kick to it. Fried Scallop: mostly solid scallops, but too much of a fried layer, it became way too much to finish Nabeyaki udon: Noodles had a really bad consistency, broth was ehh, I wouldn't recommend it much Pork Katsu: Fine, sauce wasn't watered down which is good Sushi: Egg: Fine Eel Sushi: Fine Eel Sashimi: Fine A couple rolls: the eel/avocado roll was mostly avocado which was also quite mushy: not fine Had some other specialty rolls, both were filled with rice and not super appetizing. So a sushi AYCE buffet is better with kitchen food, who would have thought? It's too much for how low the quality is of the Sushi...not to mention that one of the waitresses was just about surly while the other seemed bored. 2.2, though I'd probably give the kitchen appetizers more around a 3. read more

After hearing so many phenomenal traits Sushi X has to offer I was more than thrilled to try it. The ambiance in the place we okay, a little run down but I got over that quickly. The display and array of of sushi was exquisite. HOWEVER my date and I felt extremely sick after and at the same time. I am very disappointed and I felt very uneasy in the restaurant. Their pricing was astronomical for the effects that we endured. Please use your best judgement when going there next time. Warm Regards, LF read more

Our absolute favorite sushi location. We moved over an hour away and make sure to stop in when we visit the area. Their sashimi literally melts like butter. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

I'd been to Sushi X many years ago and don't know why I haven't been back until now. We did the all you can eat, which must be orders by everyone at the table. If you can eat enough, it is an excellent value. Like other places with all you can eat sushi, if you leave rolls or items on the table when done you will be charged additional at the a la carte price. As such, they suggest (and it's common sense) not to over order, because you can always order more as you go. Everything comes out extremely fresh and FAST! The staff is very attentive, and will come by to check and see if you need anything or take plates away, several times. A real plus in my book as all you can eat can cause the plates to pile up fast - particularly with some of the great small plate apps. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Bullshit. Second time I came here at 11:30 and it wasn't opened. I called the previous day to make sure what time they were opened and was told 11:30. What they need to do is change their time to 12 because that's when they show up! Fuck this place read more

TL;DR: Solid sushi, not much variety, but a full stomach for $25/person. Overrated. Of course this is going to the thefoodcouplenj's first review. This place might be our most frequently visited spot. I'm going to tell you a quick anecdote describing a typical night at Sushi X. We walk in (you can make reservations but make sure your party is greater than 4), sit down, and they ask "Have you been here before?" ... "Ugh YEAH?" Happens every time. All you can eat sushi for $25 per person. You get access to the "Kitchen Menu" as well as the "Sushi Menu" and also a dessert menu! The kitchen menu has an assortment of different options - chicken teriyaki, peppered tuna, dumplings, edamame, etc. This is a great option where you have people who aren't too into sushi (but why invite them to Sushi X then...) I digress, the sushi menu has all the basics. You have many choices here, sashimi, sushi, maki, etc. Here is where I have my beef, (or should I say fish?) - the variety of ingredients in their sushi is inadequate. Essentially, the rolls are just different permutations of ingredients i.e. avocado on the inside/outside, salmon outside/inside, tuna on the inside/outside, etc. That all being said, we order our favorite roll, the Tiger roll. The Tiger roll has a unique light green soybean paper with big pieces of salmon, tuna, avocado, and crunchies in the middle - a must. Other rolls of great note, we recommend the "X"-roll, salmon sashimi, and jalapeno yellowtail. The "X"-roll is deep fried (enough said). Salmon sashimi is foodbf's favorite - great protein and fats. The jalapeno yellowtail roll is a diamond in the rough - great subtle spiciness. After our bellies are full we get the green tea and red bean ice cream. These are great to sooth your stomach after eating so much! The reason I'm rating this as a 4 has to be because of the store-front. Sushi X either needs to move to a larger location to accommodate more customers, or expand. We've gone countless times and have had to wait because of how small the location currently is. Also of note, the place seems a little grimy and dirty - a hole in the wall kind of feel. Overall, we don't recommend Sushi X - not for a first date though because you're going to be in a food coma after eating so much sushi. read more

Right off the bat i can tell you that the price for the quantity of food is worth giving this place a try, that is, if you go for the sushi buffet. I was forced out, i mean invited for my birthday at Sushi X. My friends had a reservation so we only waited about 5 minutes, but if you didn't have a reservation you were easily waiting 30-40 min. Immediately after being seated my friends went to town on the buffet menu ordering appetizers and sushi. They ordered a ton of stuff. BBQ squid, chicken teriyaki strips, bbq beef, siracha shrimp(i think), and 101 types of sushi that i didn't bother to remember the names of. Like I said though, the price and quantity of food is worth giving this place a try. The food wasn't bad hence my rating, but you could find better sushi elsewhere. If you're with one other person, you could go somewhere else. If you are with a group however, this is the pace for you. read more

It's a super narrow small sushi place with street parking. It's usually pretty empty so you get to choose where you want to sit unless the hostess seats you. There's always a weird urine smell in the front so I always like to sit in the middle of the room or towards the back. The floors always seems sticky like they haven't mopped it in awhile. Besides their appearance, they have a large variety for their appetizer menu and sushi menu. I especially love their kani salad, fried scallops, fried calamari, crab wontons, beef ribs, and shrimp tempura. Their sushi selection is also really nice. However I felt that if you ordered a spider roll, only two pieces contained crab while the remaining four was just rice and cucumber. It's a hit or miss with some of the sushi. Service is average. I guess it depends on which girls are working because I've encountered poor service to really good service. For 2 people on a weekday buffet with 2 cans of soda - our total came out to be about $53. read more

If you love unlimited sushi including hot and cold food from the kitchen then this is the place for you! Been coming here for years and it's always great. You get a "sushi menu" and a "kitchen menu" each with spaces to write in how many orders you want of each specific item. But remember what you can't eat they charge a la carte for. Although they're usually pretty forgiving and if you leave a few pieces it's fine. I will say the reason I only gave it 4 stars is because the service isn't always amazing. But hey you're going there for the food right? They also include a small cup of ice cream (vanilla, green tea, and red bean) which usually I never have room for, but it is pretty good ice cream. It's usually pretty packed around dinner time so I would definitely recommend calling ahead just so you won't have to wait. Hope this helps :) read more

Sushi X - Sushi!!! - Japanese Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

Overall, the food is very decent. Service and management is always an issue. They argue with customers with children, stating that even the children must participate in 'all you can eat' even though their menu states that children are exempt. While this is a very busy place because of the food, the service leaves a lot to be desired. They need to hire more people and act in a more conciliatory manner when asked legitimate questions by their customers. It will be a while before we return. Bop n' Sushi is a better alternative. read more

Good sushi! Good edamame! Fast delivery! Excellent value! Will definitely order from again!

This place is absolutely disgusting. We saw a large cockroach crawling up the wall and then a small cockroach on our table. We left right away after seeing the cockroaches. Before seeing the cockroaches we saw the kitchen, which looks disgusting and dirty. And we were given water that tasted like it was straight from a dirty sink. Definitely not a place you ever want to go. They should shut this filthy restaurant down. read more

Service was great very polite but sushi was small and not that good honestly but I loved the crab Rangoon's

Talk about a hole in the wall.... I first started going to sushi X 6 years ago when a Japanese man owned the place(forget his name) . The sushi was always so fresh and he gave you complementary sashimi while you waited, or he let you try some new fish they got in and informed you about it. It was a culinary experience and a great deal with the all you can eat. I've been back to sushi x 3 times in the last 3 years. Unfortunately this is where the review turns south. There seems to always be a new owner/management ; they can't figure it out . The portions are ridiculous for all you can eat(90% rice 10% fish). When you eat their "all you can eat" you get a feeling that you're only there to help them pay rent that month. Half the time staff is eating their lunch in the open and on the phone, and again the portions are ridiculous . Never again, gave this place way too many chances. Lucky they got 2 stars, I'm feeling nice today read more

The food was great and at amazing pricing. The space is a little small and we were a bit disappointed that we couldn't be seated at a bigger table or farther away from the door. We ordered the rolls they came 3 for around 9.99 and 2 for 8. And then got the Japanese soda. Overall the food was good but it was a bit rushed experience as can be expected from a popular place. The rolls were also big in size we wanted to try other part of the menu but were surprised to find out we were full after the rolls. This is a great place for your wallet read more

Went here during the week for all you can eat. The sushi was ok, nothing crazy. I think the only reason they're still in business is for the all you can eat feature cause otherwise I don't know how they'd survive in an area like Ridgewood if they aren't that good. Also don't go if you're not planning on eating at least 6 rolls of sushi. I can only eat two and a small appetizer and paid $25. You can do al a carte but I don't think I'd be back cause again the sushi wasn't even that good. read more
