I was really wanting sushi, and I've been wanting to try this place out for quite some time. It was just before 3 o'clock, so I made the lunch special timeframe. Although I'm not crazy about miso soup or the salad, I was very pleased to see that they offer both as some places offer one or the other. Although they're not my favorite, miso soup on a day like today is very comforting, and the salad is an amazing palate cleanser. I got the three roll special, with a Philadelphia roll, spicy crab roll and the avocado cucumber roll. 18 piece pieces altogether with the wasabi and ginger. Sushi X is an AYCE establishment. I'm not sure what their rules or policies are, as I got my food to go. I don't think AYCE is for me, as I've had three pieces of each roll and I am already nice and full. The woman who greeted me was very nice, and the establishment was clean but quaint. Ample parking. It's also in a great location in my opinion. Savin Rock Beach is just behind the restaurant in walking distance and if it weren't 24° outside, that would be a nice stroll to take after eating. Although this review is about this restaurant specifically, I actually recommend exploring the entire area because there are a lot of hidden gems and diverse culinary offerings within walking distance from Italian, to seafood and Mexican to name a few. There are also several bars along Campbell Ave. Maybe that's a well kept secret & I just let out lol. If you have the stomach capacity for AYCE sushi or you're in the area and just want a nice lunch special, I highly recommend. read more

Arrived at 9:40pm expecting regular service within the closing hours. Was met with greasy/burnt kitchen food and slopped together sushi. The food was basically inedible. After we asked for the check we were met with hostility over the left over inedible food and yelled at and harassed by the staff for not wanting to eat the inedible slop they served us. I will never be back to this establishment!! There are better places that will give you quality and impeccable service. Do not waste your money here. On top of all of this they don't even tip out their staff. The owner/manager is a crook! read more

The best AYCE sushi spot here in CT hands down. It's not a giant space but it's big enough for groups or date night and sometimes recommend reservations on weekends. The pepper tuna is my absolute favorite because it's thinly sliced and on the smaller sized but it's served with a ponzu sauce and a wasabi drizzle. I could eat like 50 of them. All the cooked dishes are great and I find their sashimi and sushi rolls are made with amazing quality fish! read more

Three of us went for dinner around 6:30 pm on a Thursday night. Nice ambiance - lots of tv monitors all around, high ceiling, bright space. They have a all-you-can-eat sushi/dim sum deal dinner all day/every day. Includes soup dumplings which we love. But we didn't have time to try it and we weren't planning on AYCE either so we just ordered some fried chicken, pork katsu, and some ramen. Food was generally very good and together with the nice setting this may be our new go to place for Asian food in the Fairfield, Southport area. The AYCE deal is very attractive and would be a lot of fun when we have a crowd. We plan on returning to try that out. read more

Love this place- the all you can eat option can't be beat, everything is piping hot or super fresh, service is fast, and the place itself is clean and neat. Worth a drive every time! For date night we pay $65 before tip and trust me we easily ate double that. read more

$64 for two people all you can eat, after they said $13.99 per person on the phone multiple times. The salmon on the sushi was spoiled, dry, no texture, pale, and room temperature. DO NOT eat here. Our server was never around, we probably saw her 3 times the entire time we were there. No soda fountains, they only offer canned sodas for $2.50. Also the Phili roll and California roll tasted like bacon grease and the wasabi was very dry and hard. read more

I have never fully given a restaurant a bad review, but this was one of the worst eating experiences in my life. I came here with my aunt and cousin. I ordered the sashimi combo and soft shell crab roll. The sashimi was pretty bad quality. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't good. The soft shell crab roll also had a strange and unpleasant taste. Finally, the service was pretty bad. The server just wasn't around very much. I watched my soft shell crab sit on the sushi counter for 10 minutes before they brought it over. We had finished most of the rest of our food. And then the server poured water into my cousin 's glass of lemonade. I pointed out to her that the glass had been his lemonade and asked her politely if she could get him another glass. Her response was that there wasn't a lot of lemonade left in the glass and then she walked away. Bad food. Bad service. Pretty unpleasant experience in general. read more

No stars. On Jun 26 my daughter and her friends went in and asked to use the bathroom before getting something to eat. The staff, with dirty looks, allowed them but when they went to purchase food they were told to "get out". They were refused service for no reason. The girls believed they were racially discriminated from being able to eat there, being the only black girls in the place, and seeing that "others" were being served. "WE KNOW WHEN WE KNOW"...This place of business should be ashamed of yourselves. read more

Been going here for years! Best sushi I've had in the north east. Decent price for all you can eat.

The all you can eat menu has more options than others I've been too! And they are on top of it with serving

Been going here for years. In the past, the food has been good, ambiance is fine, and the service has always been somewhat sub par. Decided to go this week after not going there for a while, was highly disappointed and will not be returning. It's always been a little pricey but given the "all you can eat" sushi & kitchen menu, that's expected. For the cost, you expect the food quality to match the prices. We already knew the rules of "pay for leftovers" so we knew to pace the ordering. We should have known there was a decline when we walked in at 6:40 pm on a weekend night and the normally packed restaurant had many open tables. The next signs were the change to using cheap plastic plates for customers, the tempura served in a cardboard fast food looking container, and needing to request soy sauce for our table. The sushi still came out on serving boards, but the food was just okay and very disappointing compared to previous visits. They seemed to be using more rice and less fish than in the past. The service hasn't improved. It could come across to some as being very attentive when it's actually them keeping tabs on what you're eating and it seems like they're trying to make sure customers aren't bagging the "not allowed" extras to take home. They literally snatched the salad bowl away when I was still eating it. It's not an enjoyable experience when you feel like the help has been told to keep costs down no matter what and being heavily monitored on what should be an enjoyable night out especially for the price. Sad to say but we will not be wasting our money by going back here ever again when there are many other sushi restaurants out there who will provide much better food, service, and yes, real plates for the customers. read more

If I could leave ZERO stars, I would. Service is mediocre...at best. I was not impressed with the quality of the rolls or the sushi. Because I left a few pieces on the plate, they charged me $8 as leftovers. Disgusting. Charging twice for something i paid for? I will never return, what poor customer service. When I expressed that I didnt like the roll I was told "the ingredients are on the menu so, too bad". Gross read more

I've been going to Sushi X for years time for me to finally write a review. 4 Stars All Day. We were a party of 4 tonight and they seated us right away, were very friendly and accommodating. The food is great mainly because they have so many choices of appetizers, soups, salads and a bunch of hot kitchen items along with the sushi and sashimi. And it is all included in the price. Of course the sushi and sashimi are the stars of the show but the rest is great too. Some of the stand out options for me are tuna tarter, kani salad, and rock shrimp. As for the sushi I like all of their specialty rolls which mix multiple types of fish & different tastes & textures. I'm really a sashimi fan as well. I tried to take pictures throughout the meal but only got maybe a quarter of what we ate. Sorry but it was good and we were hungry. Sushi X has always been really good option. It's not the cheapest but definitely worth the value if you can eat a decent amount. There are people who think all you can eat sushi quality is poor but I will say I have been to very expensive sushi restaurants that have the highest reviews and I don't taste the difference. Plus I eat so much it would cost me like $100+ to eat a regular sushi place and be full. Now don't get it twisted if you go to a buffet place that happens to serve sushi they suck and that is poor quality sushi. That is not what this is. Sushi X is a Sushi Place and the quality is top notch and the selection is amazing. I highly recommend Sushi X and I'm sure we will be back multiple times again. read more

My friends and I really enjoyed this experience. When we went we were sat down quickly and the all you can eat was easy to navigate. The waitress was very nice, she announced to us everything we were eating as it was our first time. The food was great, the portions were a good size and we didn't feel pressured to eat everything on our plates like other places. Because the portions were so small we ate a lot more, kinda like a taste testing vibe. The ambiance was great, we really enjoyed that they played good music and it was warm so we didn't feel the need to eat and leave as soon as possible. Overall a great experience! read more

Sushi X - all you can eat - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

There are no better words in the English language than "All You Can Eat Sushi" Upside: Do I even have to mention it? All you can eat sushi. And a nice variety of it for $20 - $25 a person. I went with friends and was upset that I hadn't heard about the place before. I love the fact that they are huge sticklers of waste. They will not bring you more sushi until you have cleaned your plates and if you have to pay to take leftovers home. There's something about it that I respect. Downside: It's not the greatest when it comes to service but in an environment where it's AYCE, you really can't expect 5 Star service. But when you go there, you're truly there for the sushi and sushi you do get and that does trump everything else. At the end of the day - ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI. If you go in there with your priorities in check, you will enjoy this spot. read more

I have been going out to eat for Japanese food with my dad since before I could walk. When the "all you can eat" sushi craze began, we tried a lot of places! Sushi X has always been my favorite all-you-can-eat sushi place though! The food and fish quality are great, and I always have a great time going here! Sushi X had been closed for awhile, and we feared it was a casualty of covid, but we're so happy to see it has opened back up! I've read some complaints regarding food size, staff, and leftover charges, and for what it's worth I'd like to address them: ~ Many all you can eat sushi places offer small portions in an attempt to cut down on waste. SO much gets wasted when people arrive extra hungry and over order, so who can blame them for the portions? The idea is to try a little of a lot of different things and ORDER AGAIN for more if you want it. We've gone and placed 6 orders before, that's what you're supposed to do! ~ My experience with the staff has always been wonderful. What I will say, and Sushi X is not alone in this, is some of the staff don't speak English very well. This is honestly the case with a lot of restaurants serving food from other counties. Sometimes, though, language barriers can cause people to think the server is being rude when really they are communicating as best they can. ~ Yes they charge you for leaving food (as many all you can eat places do, again, to cut down on waste), so always make sure you can actually finish what you order. This isn't an issue when it's so yummy though! *I've only ever eaten here for all-you-can-eat, so I'm not sure what it's like ordering off the regular menu. read more

I just didn't care for it. My husband goes a few times a year with friends, so I decided to try it for the first time yesterday. We were the only customers around 2pm and we were sat right infront of the sushi chefs. Already awkward. Then, there was always at least one waitress hovering. And when I say hovering...like, she was 3-5 feet away staring at us. I didn't even feel like I could have a normal, private conversation & we felt super rushed. Food was OK. My husband said his salmon avo rolls were "chewy"- my rolls were fine, but not amazing by any stretch. The rangoon was typical, a little dry, and the kani salad definitely wasn't fresh. They did well with filling up our glasses with water, so I'll give them that. We had stomach aches the rest of the day & through this Morning. Neither ofvus care to go back, all you can eat or not. read more

Some friends and I visited Sushi X for all-you-can-eat sushi, which is $25 on the weekends ($22 on weekdays). Our waitress was really cold, abrupt, and hard to understand. Bummer. Maybe her shift changed, or maybe the rest of the staff noticed our reactions with our first encounters with her, because she didn't serve our table after the first round, but it definitely left an impression. Overall, we liked the sushi we tried. There are about 16 special rolls to try, and we liked the Crazy Girl and Fire Cracker. I found the katsu a bit dry, and the sashimi pieces were pretty small. Don't forget to get your scoop of ice cream at the end! They actually have a ton of flavors. For better or for worse, the green tea and red bean are both very mild, which is good for those who don't tend to love those flavors but not as exciting for those of us who were hoping for richer flavors. Good deal overall. read more

Sushi X is my go to sushi bar if I don't want to drive far from West Haven! All-you-can-eat sushi for around $22 on the weekdays and $25 on the weekends...very affordable if you know what to eat...You can choose between the kitchen menu and the sushi menu for the AYCE. I love the shrimp tempura because for the AYCE price, you can order A LOT! when you go to a regular restaurant you pay around a minimum of $10 for 2 pieces of shrimp tempura lol but if you go to this joint, you can get as much as you want(also made to order so guaranteed fresh) The sushi's pretty good... a lot of variety to pick from but always note that don't order too much because they will charge you extra if you don't finish what you order! So, better off ordering a bunch of times rather than getting a big one!! The only thing that's keeping me from rating this with 5stars is because of the customer service. The staff is pretty good at your orders but sometimes they just rush you and just grabs your plate even though you're not even done with your food. Sometimes, it's so hard to get their attention if you want to order more. Although, they are slowly improving in this aspect because I understand if customers get turned off by this despite the excellent food! Ps: don't forget to order the deepfried banana with your choice of ice cream :) (it's BOMB) read more

I have been going to Sushi X pretty much since they have opened. I do not know why it has taken me so long to write a review, but after today I felt it was necessary. Every one of the employees is friendly, helpful, and welcoming into the restaurant. It as not busy for a Saturday evening at 6pm which I was surprised about and we were seated relatively quickly. Service was great with quick drink orders taken and delivered and food orders were taken as soon as they were ready. Soon food started to flow out of the kitchen and from the sushi bar. We ordered edamame, gyoza, tuna tartar, ribs, and rock shrimp spicy seaweed salad, and a house salad to start. Everything was good, not great, but good, nothing really stood out. I did notice that the portion sizes were quite small. There was about a tablespoons worth of seaweed salad and not much more than that of the tuna tartar. Some of the rock shrimp were not whole and only pieces of fried shrimp. I have been going for a long time and the portion sizes were never so small. I ordered some sashimi and 3 rolls. It really was all very bland, which I was very surprised about. I was very disappointed. The food here in the past has been plentiful and delicious, today was not the case. I would like to give them a pass but it seems other reviews are starting to look the same. Other than the food, the service was good and prompt. I really don't like leaving a two star review but I am giving it what it deserves today. read more

My overall experience here was alright. It's another AYCE sushi place located in West Haven for about $22 for weekdays and $25 for weekends. There are two menus: kitchen and sushi menu. They had kalbi ribs which were pretty decent. Their food isn't bad as well. However, they messed up our orders twice. They omitted at least 3 different rolls for each menu. Then when they were clearing some plates while we were eating she reached over our food with a already dirty plate in hand with sauce on it to get an empty plate on our table. I watched with wide eyes as I saw the sauce on the dirty plate in her hand slide around and almost fly onto our sushi. It was pretty gross to see how she handled picking up plates and it could've gotten worse. The service wasn't bad and got our cups refilled with water in a decent time. The restaurant and bathrooms were also pretty clean. The restaurant is located in a plaza that is about a 10 minutes walk away from the beach. There isn't free parking at the beach, so it was convenient to dine and go for a stroll after. read more

All you can eat for $20 (weeknight price)...can't beat that. I have eaten here a bunch of times, the most recently last night. It's your typical sushi restaurant...small sushi bar up front with a long and narrow area of dining tables. They have lots of sashimi, sushi, apps, and specialty rolls on their all you can eat menu. Waitstaff was very attentive in refilling our green teas and waters throughout our meal. My sister and I each had miso soup, 2 tuna apps and shumai. We also enjoyed a bunch of sashimi (unagi, salmon, tuna) and a few specialty rolls. I have enjoyed all of the rolls here, even though some are more simple. I was surprised by some of the negative reviews on this place, I have yet to have any major complaints. read more

It has gotten so bad, I'm not sure we will be coming back. Service was bad, our waitress was never around and we had to constantly flag her down. Sushi quality has become disappointing. At $27/person for basically gas station quality sushi, you are far better off going to a traditional restaurant. We asked for a small side of rice for our daughter, they brought us a side dish and charged us $2 without telling us. $60 for two people for essentially five subpar sushi rolls and two appetizers. It's sad, this used to be our favorite spot. I guess it's time to look elsewhere. read more

First, the fact that it's an all-you-can-eat sushi joint is pretty cool. Second, the price is great so your money goes far - if you eat your worth. With that said, you'll definitely want to go here when you don't have to rush. There are two menus - kitchen and sushi bar - and both are checklist-style. You mark the items you want and how many of each, then send it off. The kitchen menu has items such as fried gyozas, shumai, calamari, etc. The sushi menu is categorized into sashimi, nigiri, maki/hand rolls, and specialty rolls. The pepper tuna, fire tuna, and snapper jalapeño are excellent choices. Overall, if you can eat enough, it may be worth the price. The quality of food is average. Be advised that if you do not finish food, you will be charged. Especially, for sushi. read more

It wont let me give a negative amount of stars so we will go with one star, and that's way too generous. I dont like to leave negative reviews but I think patrons, especially those with children should be aware. If your child happens to be over 4ft they will be charged the adult price regardless of their age. I have never heard of such a thing and it was never explained. There apparently is a yardstick by the front door to measure your child. Insane in my opinion. There is no way that my 8 yr old child would eat the same amount as an adult, regardless of her height. They also charged us a $25 "service fee". We were a party of 4 adults and 1 child. I'm assuming gratuity? Also never explained. The last 3 dishes were never even brought out and the quality of food left much to be desired. There are MUCH better sushi restaurants in the area. Save yourself the hassle read more

Great options and very good quality sushi, all you can eat at a decent price. This is such a great place for friends to meet up.

We tried this restaurant again in hopes that maybe something improved. The food was great, but we got cut off and in the rudest possible way. When you advertise "All you can eat", most customers assume it means, order until you are content. We are by no means heavy eaters. After 3 servings of the pepper tuna, the restaurant made us wait at our seats thinking a 4th was on its way for about 35 min. After that time the manager comes up to us and asks "Are you all set?". My fiance politely says, no, we are waiting on a house salad and a pepper tuna dish. He says rudely, "We are out of pepper tuna, do you want the check?". This is where my fiance lost all faith in ever returning to this place and even went as far as writing a note on the check, exclaiming their horrible service. I understand that maybe that is true, I don't believe that they were out because we were sitting next to the chef's and we were the only patrons ordering pepper tuna there. Anyway, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Lets agree that they really were out, why would they let us sit there for 35 min waiting and not inform us. And what about the salad we ordered and never received, it's a salad, I know they weren't out of that! Moving on, between that experience and the smug and rude treatment from all the waiters and waitresses, we wouldn't return to this restaurant if they literally paid us. It isn't worth the aggravation. It's a shame how customer service is such a rare commodity. For $25 a plate, you would expect to be able to order what you want. I would highly recommend NOT eating here. If you do, don't go in with high expectations of service. Just expect someone to grab your menu, drop off food and then when they decide you've had enough, be told you have to leave. The food wasn't worth the treatment. The experience is certainly NOT worth the money. read more

This place used to be excellent- however the sushi is not fresh at all. My family eats sushi regularly and this has to be the worst we have had. Slimy and brown Tuna, yuck! In addition, they now charge children over a certain height as an adult- so my tall 7 year old (who is completely average anywhere else we go) was charged as an adult and only ate rice and edamame. The service is incredibly slow, the food checked off doesn't all come so you have to remind them... and remind again! And the servers stare you down if you order what they consider too much- mind you, we aren't big eaters! The manager was rude and not receptive to a conversation - complete waste of money. Go somewhere else! read more

I live in North Haven and will take the little trip to come here even though there are several sushi places in my town. The all you can eat price just went up in the beginning of April to $24.99 but considering it includes specialty rolls, which can really rack up, still well worth it. The sushi is always good, my favorites in particular are the crazy girl, Snow White and dynamite rolls. There kitchen stuff is really good as well and wait staff is more attentive than most all you can eat sushi places that I have been. read more

Very very bad food. All you can sushi there can be so deceiving. Their Peking duck is basically a thin piece of duck or some other type of skin on a bun. Grilled ribs are way too hard and stale. The sashimis are so so tiny. When you can't finish their unappealing and inedible food they get mad at you and make you pay for it.

So the weekend price is a couple bucks more ($20 each?), but still a stellar value for sushi. I've had better, but not better all-you-can-eat. And I like that the menu isn't limited to just sushi - you can get your standard entree-stuff like chicken teriyaki if you prefer. But no, don't worry, we didn't get the chicken teriyaki. Instead we got enough sushi to choke a goat, and it was pretty decent. This place exceeded expectations. The service was excellent (except that they forgot our tobiko, a problem other reviewers have noted). The atmosphere was nice inside, chintzy outside (typical strip-mall, and the only thing you can read on the sign is "All You Can Eat Sushi" from far away). The one pleasant surprise was the seaweed salad - tasty, saucy, definitely not your typical seaweed salad. The fish was fresh and tasty, but not particularly mind-blowing or artistic. The sushi-boat was a very nice touch. I can see the local ad now: Jingle: "Get on the boat, the sushi x boat!" I recommend. Will likely be back. read more

Sushi X - "Get on the boat, the Sushi X Boat!!" - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

3-stars for the weekday price of $20, the great service, and the variety of appetizers but 1-star for everything else. This place is your run of the mill Chinese-owned Japanese joint. The sushi is pretty tasteless, even the spicy tuna or the unagi drenched in sauce. The tuna tartare is hardly worthy of its name (it's just a pile of their "spicy tuna") and it's drowning in some overly sweet mango sauce. You can't go wrong with deep fried stuff and you know the Chinese know how to deep fry, but it's way too heavy after just a few dishes (the gyoza, crab rangoons, spring rolls). Surprisingly the BBQ beef ribs do the Korean marinade right, so highly recommend that dish. The pepper tuna is awesome but it definitely doesn't need the glob of mayo on it. The edamame is food, but a 9 yo couldn't mess up edamame. The tempura (and the katsu and popcorn shrimp) was so heavily battered, I felt like I was eating a general tsos chicken dish with all that batter and fried gunk. The wasabi comes out in a hot mess of a wet blob which was disgusting. The green tea ice cream was good but the red bean seemed really old (freezer burn?) and tasteless. The house salad and seaweed salad are your run of the mill stuff--can't go wrong there. The udon tastes like it's from an instant package. Oh and the miso soup reeked of fishiness, gross. Thankfully the waitress was super nice and didn't charge us for the few things we left over. I posted lots of pictures so see for yourself. read more
