East holds a special place in my heart, as I tried sushi for the first time ever here.
I'll never forget being amazed by the carousel there, til this day I haven't walked into any other sushi restaurants that have one! I recommend grabbing a seat next to it if available, it's fun snatching plates! They use a color-coded plate system here to price their sushi.
The sushi is great, especially for the price, though because of their infamous carousel you sometimes run the risk of picking up a roll that's been rotating for hours.
It's fun eating conveyer belt sushi. The fish seems genuinely fresh and the service is great. Plus they have plenty of other stuff on the menu. I'd absolutely come here again if I had a hankering for sushi.
I've been a regular here for years and will continue coming back. However, the quality of the sushi is spotty. There has never been a problem with it but sometimes it is less flavorful than others. But for the price you can't beat this place. It is sushi boat style called Kaiten but in this case the sushi goes around on a conveyor belt and you pick what you want. Each plate offers about half of a normal sushi roll 3-4 pieces. You take what you want and you pay by the plate, different colors are different dollar values. There is a chart so you know exactly the cost as you take a plate. The offer half price specials on certain days like half price Tuna on Tuesdays. You can get hot dishes, all your favorites. The best is that you can get all your favorite dishes as small plates at a small price. The mini soba is the best. The staff is always friendly. If you aren't into spicy sushi be careful if you order off their menu, some times like the crunchy crab roll comes spicy even though the menu mentions nothing about hot flakes and they won't make it without the hot spice. This kept me from giving them above a 4.
This is my go-to sushi spot because they are consistently good. The sushi here isnt great, but it isnt bad either. Eat at the bar, with the conveyer belt running, you can have your pick of sushi right at your finger tips, from California rolls to Salmon rolls and Eel. Last time I came here the sushi wasn't that great. I don't know what happened, but I hope the quality hasn't declined. I've been coming to this restaurant since 2003.
Love this place! I always get a seat at the conveyor belt and try to hold my excitement as the never ending sushi train rolls by. White plates are a bargain, especially on Mondays and Wednesdays (specials on salmon and tuna). Pink and red plates are also great and if you really want to splurge, get yourself a blue plate or maybe even checkered! They have kitchen items too like mini udon, salads, entrees, etc, but I don't think i've ever gotten those. The endless sushi conveyor belt is more than enough for me and if you don't see something you want, just ask anybody who works there and it'll be in your face before you know it. Friendly staff, alcohol options, and never ending sushi, what more can you ask for? I think this is better than AYCE sushi places because 1) the quality is better 2) if you can eat $25+ worth here, you'd be full (unless you are only getting blue/checkered/gold plates)
Very casual and chill place to grab some either some sushi, ramen, teriyaki, tempura or what want you. If you're a fan of sushi bar setup with conveyor belt and all, they have more then plenty of seats in the bar area. If you would like a sit down setup, they got plenty of those too. Sushi is ok, shumai (who ever wondered sushi place serving shumai too!) is ok, teriyaki is also an ok. Service is quite on the slower side, so this is a great place for a first date or to catch up with friends over dinner
Cheap, quick, and decent selections. Ive only had the sushi off of the moving contraption in the middle of the restaurant. anywhere from 1.75 to about $8, depending on the color of the plate–thats what you pay. The rolls arent fancy but if you got a quick craving for something, this is your spot. The thing thats annoyin is the fact that they choose to charge $1 for spicy mayo. give me a damn break—especially because i use alot of it
From the time this place opened it doors, they have stayed busy, from single eaters to large family groups. This is is convienently located on Teaneck Rd across from the Teaneck Shopping Plaza. I have both dined in and ordered take out. The california rolls, my favorite, are always fresh and made to order. Most of the dishes are affordable, a great place for date night on a budget.
