This food truck offers high quality sushi for an affordable price! My friend ordered all of the sushi in the picture for $90 which is quite incredible given the sushi's quality. I enjoyed the salmon the most, it felt fresh and was nicely chilled, and each piece was quite large. The other nigiris and rolls were also super tasty. I was a bit disappointed that the wasabi was fake, but I guess you can't always get what you want. 4.9/5 read more

Wisp Express - Sushi - Food Trucks Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I trust this sushi truck in JC haha. Good quality takeaway sushi is hard to come by in this neighborhood, but this spot delivers, and the prices are super reasonable. I tried salmon avocado, yellowtail cucumber, and the spicy crunchy tuna, and every roll had fresh pieces of fish. I wasn't expecting to like the spicy crunchy tuna as much as I did but the crunch really added to the flavor. read more

Sushi from a truck isn't a comon concept, but one that I can definitely get used to. This truck was down the street from where I was located so I thought, why not just give it a try! I'm so glad I did. I was looking for a quick dinner option so I walked up and placed the order for a poke bowl. It was quickly assembled and handed back to me so I could transport it back to eat. I got a salmon poke bowl which consisted of edamame, seaweed salad, salmon, mango, peppers, avacado, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce and rice. Everything tasted very delicious and fresh. I appreciated that there were no upcharged for the avacado or seaweed salad. I got the traditional poke dressing on the side, which was also nice and refreshing. I'd love to come back to try some of their more traditional sushi next! read more

Wisp Express - Salmon Avocado Roll, Spicy Crunchy Tuna Avocado Regular Roll, Sushi Regular, scallop nigiri - Food Trucks Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I'm not going to lie, when I first heard about this I was a bit skeptical. Sushi from a food truck? How does that work? The ratings were through the roof though so we decided to give it a shot. The price point is a bit higher than your standard/regular tier sushi so be mindful of that. We wanted to try a bunch of things and of course, they thought we ordered for way more than 2 people as a result! We ended up trying the following rolls: sweet potato, salmon avocado, spicy crunchy salmon, spicy crunchy tuna avocado, a special scallop roll and the Peace special roll. We also got the tuna bomb appetizer to try! For the most part, the rolls traveled pretty well. The appetizer did look a little bit like a blob but it was a very tasty blob! Every bite was very flavorful and the avocado at the bottom worked well with the tuna and the texture of the tobiko on top! Sweet potato rolls were sort of a random find that I came across after eating sushi with vegetarian friends. When made well, they're delicious! The portion size of Wisp sweet potato rolls was quite generous but I prefer when the sweet potato is fried and has the crispiness from tempura and this wasn't that type of roll. The other regular rolls we got were great. The fish was fresh and I was a big fan of the crunchy texture of the spicy salmon and spicy tuna avocado. The special scallop roll was very focused on the scallop and you could taste the slight popping of tobiko since it was layered on the outside. A very clean and minimalist take on scallops. The last special roll was my least favorite but that was because I wasn't a fan of one of the types of fish inside the roll. It tasted a bit fishy to me and didn't agree with me. However, my partner loved it. My true rating would probably be more like a 4.5 since it wasn't perfect but I rounded up because the overall quality was very solid and noticeably different from other sushi spots. They had a unique bonus as well with some of their other items (appetizer and special rolls) which was a plus. We'd definitely order again andare excited to try more of their items in the future! read more

If you're thinking "I don't know if I'd trust sushi from a food truck"... remove that thought from your head immediately because this was some of the freshest fish I've had. Hands down this is the best sushi in Jersey city and even if I didn't live here I'd travel for it. It has replaced all of my favorite sushi spots in NJ in terms of ranking. The only thing I will say is that if you're expecting a thin/small piece of fish on your nigiri it is quite a thick piece so I didn't enjoy that so much. But I'm particular when it comes to nigiri. Nonetheless the fish was great just too thick for me. My favorite was the X roll - it had such an interesting flavor. Definitely recommend!! The total for all of this food was $78. read more

Exceptional quality sushi, fish is incredibly fresh and the guys who run the trick are lovely

Never in a million years would I have imagined enjoying sushi from a truck. I was skeptical from the very start and couldn't believe it, but my friends (who are regulars and go there every week) told me it's some of the best they have ever had. And they were RIGHT. The menu was so overwhelming that I let them pick. I loved the crazy shrimp, but everything was so very very very very good. We also had the tuna, spicy tuna, black pepper tuna and yellowtail jalapeno. The black pepper tuna was my MOST favorite roll of them all. For now, I will continue to daydream about their sushi and cannot wait to eat from their truck again in the future! All other sushi now pales in comparison. read more

Every Saturday the Wisp truck is located right outside my apartment. It's so convenient but dangerous as I'm always tempted to order. I've had Wisp 4 times now and every order has been great. The first time I ordered I was very skeptical - sushi from a food truck, surely it wouldn't be that good. But I was pleasantly surprised and I've been hooked ever since. The guys are are so friendly and offer greet customer service. They're so really quick. I order, take my dog for a quick walk and the foods ready. So far I've tried a mixture of the basic rolls and the specialty rolls and every roll has been great. I'm a big fan of all you can eat sushi from one restaurant in particular because you get so much food for a good price but I really enjoy adding Wisp to the mix. Prices are reasonable and you get big pieces of fish and you can really taste the quality. Plus I love shopping small/supporting a local business. read more

I love Wisp Express! Whenever I see their truck close to my house, I try to go and get fresh sushi from them!! It's so good!! Favorites include Otoro, Yellowtail, Scallop, Salmon, & White Tuna! I've also tried their Tuna Bomb and their Salmon Lover's roll, both are flavor bombs!! Definitely check them out if you see their truck out and about. You won't be disappointed if you love fresh fish. read more

You need to eat at Wisp Express. For fast sushi, large sushi portions, and delicious rolls, Wisp beats all the fast casual places in Jersey City hands down. Their prices are great as well for the amount of food that you receive. You can't compare Wisp to Domodomo or Sushi by Bou because those places do not provide the same offerings. My favorites are the fatty toro sushi and the uni sushi (both are specials so look on instagram for when they have them available). The fatty toro is tender and the uni is sweet and not briney tasting. The Hudson Roll is my favorite roll. I'm fortunate to have them close to me on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Follow them on Instagram (@wispexpress) to see where they are each day of the week and their business hours. The guys are super friendly and great people all around. read more

Went out for a walk along the river and grabbed some sushi for lunch. It's a nice option from the regular halal trucks if you're in the mood for something else. The staff was very friendly. There's a variety of cooked foods (e.g. teriyaki, soba) as well as sushi options. Convenient meal option if you're out and about want to grab something quick. read more

Sushi from a truck - what a novel concept... and it works! I've only recently been able to track down Wisp Express in my neighborhood but I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be a long-standing customer. I've taken out from here twice in the wintertime (for context) and have ordered primarily nigiri to go. I love the fact that these guys have premium cuts on offer. There's something that triggers your brain's happy center when you know you can get a good piece of toro from a truck and it is a nice big piece of initially firm, then meltingly soft tuna that makes your eyes roll back a little bit. Say what you will about comparative prices to a restaurant, but I would counter that no restaurant on the east coast would serve you pieces this size for the price they charge. From our experience, I think we would definitely go with white tuna, yellowtail, toro, and scallop as our base order going forward. Then we'll try something new each time, but those 4 are really solid choices that make a good foundation for a meal. Looking forward to when ikura and uni are in stock as well. The only downside to Wisp, and this may be only a wintertime thing and applicable to all takeout sushi during this season, is that the rice stiffens up on my walk home from the truck. If only we could preserve the heat on the rice a bit better, *chef's kiss*. I'm considering bringing one of those insulated bags in my backpack at all times so that I can shield my precious food from the elements on the way home. Anyway, congrats Bowen and team. Your truck is a great addition to the neighborhood and I always look forward to seeing you guys around. read more

I can't begin to describe my disappointment in trying Wisp for the first time, it also came highly recommended from some of my friends who are very particular about sushi. Their prices are similar to Domo domo in JC (which isn't cheap), yet the quality was so much worse. I ordered the 10 piece sushi with a roll, but there were maybe only 5 unique cuts of fish? I had picked the salmon roll, and so they decided it would be a good idea to give me 3 pieces of salmon?? This was the first time I had ever ordered sushi anywhere they gave me multiples, and of cheaper cuts of fish. The salmon was chewy, the tuna was so fishy I ended up throwing away a piece (because again, they doubled up). It's even more disappointing seeing all the great reviews here because I'm wondering what on earth happened to my experience? read more

Wisp Express is definitely one of the best sushi spots in the area. Food is fresh, they have a lot of creative combinations, and their service is great. It's also great that you can order ahead and avoid the wait at the truck - as they can be busy at times. One of my favorites is the Paradise entree, which includes some sushi, sashimi and a rainbow roll. Their pork dumpling soup is also really good. Pretty much everything we have had from here has been great. If you are in the mood for fresh fish, look no further than Wisp Express. read more

I used to bemoan the fact that there weren't any good everyday sushi spots in Jersey City but now that I've found Wisp, my life here is basically complete. They have a great selection of classic maki in the $5-7 range e.g. Yellowtail Scallion, Eel Avocado, Salmon Avocado just to name a few of our favorites. Some of our other favorites: + Crazy Shrimp ($13.75): Hot and crispy shrimp tempura and avocado on the inside + crunch baby lobster salad on the outside = perfection. We have learned to get two of these because it's so good that my husband and I each want a whole one! + Negi Toro Maki ($13.50) + Yellowtail Nigiri ($3/pc): You know a place has good quality fish when their nigiri game is on point! Not only is the food fantastic, Bowen and his team are so friendly and really take their time to get to know their customers and even learn their names. Their location changes each day but you can find out where they'll be on IG (@wispexpress). Our favorite locations are when they're at The Lively or 235 Grand and I'd recommend calling ahead to place your order before swinging by since everything is made to order. read more

This is a long overdue review for the best sushi spot in Jersey City.  We've been visiting Wisp since about the beginning of the pandemic and have been continuing to order since then.  You check out their Instagram to see their daily location and of any specials available.  Ordering is easy, you can call ahead and place your order or walk up to their truck. Onto the goods.  The sushi is sooo good and to think that it comes from a food truck is even more astonishing.  The quality of the fish and foods is excellent, be on the lookout for their specials such as toro, uni, scallops soooo good.  They are not cheap when it comes to the quality and portion sizes. You can't go wrong with anything that you order from them.  Bowen and staff are more than friendly. I highly recommend this spot, it is my favorite sushi place overall.  Excellent food and excellent staff. read more

The best sushi I've ever had?? Quite possibly. Also, the staff are so kind. Highly highly recommend Wisp!

The best sushi in all of Jersey City/Hoboken is on the Wisp Express Food Truck - I promise you! I first tried Wisp last fall and I have loved it ever since. All the owners on the truck are the nicest people ever & really care about your customer experience. The second time I ever ordered, they all made a point to learn my name & haven't forgotten yet! They made me feel like a loyal & valued customer from the beginning, and I swear that really ups the experience for me. Whenever I see them it's like running into old friends & I just love my experience every time I go to the truck! The food is simply incredible too! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but there are some "must try's", like the Shrimp Shumai! I recommend them steamed, they melt in your mouth & pair perfectly with the sauce. I've never been a huge fan of Shrimp Shumai before Wisp but now it's one of my favorites because of how they prepare it! In terms of rolls, the Toro Maki is one of the best preparations of Toro I've ever had. It has the perfect bite and the flavor is amazing every time. And if you love the classics, the Shrimp Tempura Avocado is an 11/10! I also suggest you get Tobiko on all your rolls, it really enhances the flavor :) I genuinely could go on & on about Wisp Express for days because it's truly the best dining experience I've ever received from a food truck but I'll leave you with this - Bowen and his team put their hearts into this sushi every single day, without fail. They're some of kindest people in the JC-Area & they're making easily the best food too! If you ever see the truck, I strongly encourage you to try it out! :) read more

Call ahead to order! They take about 20-30 min to prepare. I went in a Sunday at 4 Beacon (which was a condo). Park outside and walk in! There's a seating area to eat :) Sushi itself was fresh and tasty. Not too saucy, which I love because sometimes it overpowers the sashimi. The Spider roll was my favorite. Very nice crunch and taste! read more

Great Japanese food is always a winner, but when it appears magically in your neighborhood it is even better! Wisp Express's food truck provides excellent food to go for a hungry Jersey City community, all at a good price and with friendly service. I ordered shrimp shumai, pork dumplings, a rainbow roll, and Philadelphia roll. The philly roll was the best we've had and was light and full of flavor, with melt in your mouth salmon. The shrimp shumai was awesome in its gentle sweetness and the other items were also great. On a very hot day and with pandemic forced masks, Wisp Express's staff was friendly, patient, and kind: thanking me with sincerity and sending me off with a "we appreciate you." I will definitely return whenever Wisp Express is in our neighborhood or within walking distance. read more

Amazing Sushi! We are from Cali and are sushi snobs per se and have to say hands down best sushi we have had in the east coast.

Best sushi in NJ by far and without doubt. If you are ordering sushi or taking out, this is the sushi you get.

Ordered from their food truck the other day. I'll admit, I was a bit nervous ordering sushi from a food truck - will it be fresh? I'm so glad I took the risk. Sushi craving was completely satisfied! For the price per roll, it is so worth it. It's not the best or the freshest sushi I've had, but it is damn good for the price you're paying. It's impossible to find $5-6 rolls of sushi in JC. Plus convenience of the truck near my apartments means I might have sushi once a week now My only complaint is how long it took for them to make the order. It took about an hour for me to pick up my order and I was starving. I was hoping because they were a good truck, it would be prepared relatively quick. And I was ordering at 3pm in the afternoon so it's not like I came during a lunch hour rush. I saw the amount of tickets they have and they were inundated, so I can forgive the wait time, but just be prepared that your order can take up to an hour for pickup at their food truck. I want to try their specialty rolls next or their soba. They have a wide range on their menu and I'm excited to have more of it. Will be ordering from here again! read more

I'm embarrassed how much our sushi budget has exploded since Wisp started coming to our neighborhood a couple years ago. I'd trek over with my baby in tow in 2020 and now I walk over with my now toddler who also looks forward to sushi Tuesdays Wisp's quality and creativity has become our sushi gold standard. From holidays to birthdays to casual Tuesdays at home, Bowen and the crew have been a constant bright spot for us during the pandemic, providing us with delicious fresh sushi, amazing specialty rolls, and awesome service. Be sure to check them out and if you need any recommendations, we love the McQueen Roll, Wisp Roll, and scallop sushi. Pro-Tip: To save time, call in your order. The sushi is freshly made to order. If you order at the window prepare to wait for 10-15mins (depending on your order and the orders ahead of you!) Thanks Bowen & team for always crushing it - see you soon! read more

Wow. I'll be the first to admit, when the sushi food truck was coming to our community in Jersey City, the sushi snob in me was full of doubt. But after talking with a trusted friend who had tried Wisp, they convinced me it was worth the try. Honestly I was blown away the first time we tried it. The fish was so fresh, the ratio of rice was just right, and there was no clumpy ground up mush fish in sight. This food truck was serving up some of the best sushi I have ever had. This past weekend, we were hosting a surprise party for my dad's 60th birthday, and sushi had to be on the menu! My dad is the king of sushi, he gets it 2-3 times per week, and he's got very high standards. Any time I've moved, I've had to be sure to get his seal of approval on the local sushi place first, otherwise we'd never go out for dinner. I knew Wisp would knock his socks off and the fact that they also do catering made them perfect for the surprise! About a week before the surprise, I placed my order with Bowen, who took customer service to the next level. He really cared about our order, and took the time to get to know me and about our occasion. The whole Wisp team even wrote my dad a little birthday message. Their delivery was right on schedule, and again the sushi and all the accoutrements were perfectly organized and ready for when my guests would arrive! Not more than two minutes after my dad's big arrival he was by the sushi trays and gave his rave review! He couldn't believe how fresh the fish tasted. I can't recommend Wisp enough, everything about this team is amazing. Thank you Bowen and the rest of the Wisp crew!!! As the old adage goes, you can't judge a book by its cover!! read more

Sushi from a food truck, you say? That sounds like a bad idea....except....this place is LEGIT. I was skeptical till I had my first bite. Super fresh fish, service with a smile, and a reasonable price to boot. What more could you ask for?!? Ok...maybe some miso soup. But like, it's a truck. So maybe we can let that slide? Make sure to try the negi toro roll (if they have it that day); you can thank me later. See you guys again real soon! read more

Repeated my mix poke bowl ($12), once again it didn't disappoint ;) This time round I added a Jersey ceviche ($10) and boy did it packed a punch! A generous serving of fresh fish with shredded cucumbers, onions, cilantros topped with black sesame seeds soaked in a nice balance of yuzu and rice vinaigrette. I'm glad I still have a way to go before I sample every single item on their impressive menu.
