FANTASTIC RESTAURANT 9/10/2005

Went there on my 10th wedding anniversary and I won't wait another 10 years to go back. Ambiance was warm and inviting, service was excellent, and the food was even better. Got the sushi for two and an entree and we were stuffed. I will definitely go back...and soon. Pros: food, service, ambiance Cons: parking, japanese beer more

Consistently Exceptional 7/13/2005

Truly an exeptional experience. Sushi is as fresh as you can find, anywhere. Dj's play lounge music, not teenybop music and the service is friendly. Very nicely managed. A great find in general!!!!!! Pros: Quality, Quantity, Atmosphere Cons: long waits, can be loud, no reservations more

Disappointed 6/13/2005

I went on Monday, half price mojito.. but they failed to specify that it's only regular mojitos not the specialty ones. So we ended up paying for $9. mojitos with no alcohol. The sushi is tasteless and has gotten VERY SMALL, $14. for a mediocre special roll is pretty expensive. The music is loud and for TEENYBOPPERS. Pros: lounge atmosphere Cons: no parking, crowd, music more

Takeout is horrible, not open to feedback 3/6/2005

I ordered from this Friday, 5 rolls and 2 miso soups and a 15% coupon. The total was $34. I have been to the restaurant before and love it but may never go back again. When the rolls arrived they were TINY. The miso soup at $2.50 a pop was equivalent to two measuring cups. At nearby Robongi which has huge rolls meaning plenty of fish and $1.50 miso soups the soups were three times the size as SL. I called the restaurant to give them feedback and they did not care. They were defensive and was not open to feedback. Guess they don't care to improve. Pros: Good for dining in Cons: bad takeout svc, Small pieces, Pricey more

Super Quality 2/16/2005

Sushi and atmosphere are hard to beat! Kitchen food is very good, but go for the sushi, it melts in your mouth. DJ's are a great touch and the service is very friendly. Been a loyal customer for years. They are the best!!!!!! Pros: Food Quality, Atmosphere / DJ's, Great Cocktails Cons: Long Wait for Table, Very crowded more

great, innovative rolls 1/22/2005

I sampled a lot of these rolls and they are all great, especially the hudson roll. The sushi is pretty good. It's not the highest quality of sushi but for the price it is pretty good. A sushi for 2 and a roll is about $25 a person. Noisy atmosphere but great food. more

Awesome! 1/26/2004

I am a frequent here for many reasons including, BEST SUSHI ANYWHERE, great music (DJ's and live bands) and friendly, overly? courteous staff. How can such a busy restaurant make you feel so ""at home""? The new head sushi chef has loads of talent and you truly will not find more creative sushi anywhere, especially in NJ. Have a first date? Go there!!! Pros: Fresh fish, great music, friendly staff Cons: no reservations, very busy, there is only one more

One of the Best 12/25/2003

This is one of the best sushi restaurants ANYWHERE. Great atmosphere, service does vary, but overall very good. Sushi is always as fresh as can be! Never compromised as they say. Highly recommend! BTW, great dj's Pros: Great Fish, Culinary Creations, Atmosphere Cons: Long Wait, Service Varies more

bleh 12/10/2003

the service is sub-par, and has been on every trip, the sushi varies - from slightly above average to poor (had a very very fishy maguro, which isn't a culinary stretch), and the music is often too loud to allow any coversation (i like the music, i just like not shouting at my friends seated with me, too). don't bother making the trip. Pros: Average Cons: Service, Atmosphere more

Wonderful Experience 11/24/2003

I've eaten at this place about 15 times and I have always enjoyed every aspect. The fish is as fresh as any I have had, and I've dined all over the world. Their creative roles and presentation just add more enjoyment to the meal. Additionally, where can you eat great sushi and be entertained by a DJ or a live jazz trio in NJ, or NY for that matter? It just doesn't exist. Expect a long wait as they do not take reservations. All of the other reviews sound like sour grapes because a NJ restaurant made it to the top 10 of NY restaurants. Make the trip to Hoboken, you will be pleasantly surprised at the overall delight that is eating at the Sushi Lounge. Pros: Great Fish, Great Atmosphere, Good Service Cons: Long Wait, No reservations, Crowded more

bad bad service 11/22/2003

Terrible service after an hour and a half of wait, we demanded explanations from the waitress. She dismissed us rudely until called manager, who was ruder. The food eventually was OK. Poor hobokenites, no good sushi place to go. Pros: average food Cons: service, managers, owners more

There are much better sushi places 10/13/2003

Although the service and the atmosphere are a plus, the sushi is horrible. I actually went there several times thinking it would get better but in fact the food got worse. If you are looking for a place with great sushi try Ubu across the street from Sushi Lounge. The atmosphere isn't as nice but the sushi is fantastic. more

Truly OUTSTANDING!!! 10/4/2003

After reading some of these reviews, I thought that visiting might be a wast of time. Fortunately, we tried anyway and we believe it lives up to the top 3 position in ""Best of"" in the metro area for quality, atmosphere and value! The rolls were plentiful and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and the sushi was MOUTHWATERING AND EXTREMELY FRESH. By the way, they don't even have ketchup in the entire restaurant as one reviewer suggests. The dj spun a deep house, most of which I never heard on the radio and certainly did not approach the ""Pop Genre"", and the restaurant was filled with BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! We had the pleasure of meeting the executive sushi chef who explained in detail his ingredients in the 2 special rolls that were featured that evening AND HE PERSONALLY INVITED US BACK. We will certainly accept that invitation. IT IS A COMPLETE DINING EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!! Pros: , GREAT MUSIC, PROFESSIONAL SERVICE Cons: LONG WAIT, VERY CROWDED more

Truly Awful 8/14/2003

If your into high volume Teenage Bubble Gum Pop music, kids dressed like a bad rap video, and sushi thats not really sushi, then you'll probably think that Sushi Lounge is ""phat"". We ate some bizzare sushi rolls, including one that had tomato sauce in it. The DJ, (there's a live DJ in the restaurant, no, make that Lounge) has the same taste as the DJ's that play at kids Birthday Parties, I'm 48, and even I recognized all the artists he was using from my childrens parties. It's pathetic, but hey, this is Mall-Town. Anyway after hearing Britney Spears belt out ""I'm a slave"" and watching as every table of Hoboken hipsters sang along, I got the sudden urge to cry uncontrollably, instead we just left, and in a hurry. They should really lose the Sushi moniker, and just call it a Pop lounge. Truly Awful. Cons: LAME SUSHI, Kids Only, Bad Music more

Best of Jersey, Worst of NYC 8/14/2003

Sushi Lounge may be the best sushi in Jersey, but it can't compare to places in NYC on its best day. Want to try the BEST, here's your list: 1. Nobu in TriBeCa 2. Blue Ribbon in SOHO 3. Tomoe in West Village 4. Bond Street in NOHO 5. Sachi in UES 6. Gari in UES 7. Yama in West Village 8. Ed in Village 9. Yasuda in Mid town 10. Japonica in Village We could easily tack on another 40 that serve real sushi. Sushi Lounge puts CONDIMENTS in their rolls, I'm not making this up! They have sushi rolls with Mayonaise, with Ketchup...KETCHUP!! This place is a joke! If you think its the best in Metro New York, obviously you have no clue as to what sushi is. Sushi Lounge is for folks that are into loud DJ music, the stuff mostly listened to by teens. Get real. Pros: Clearly marked EXITS Cons: Horrible Kids Music, Awful Sushi...Awful, In Jersey more

Best Sushi in Metro NY 8/11/2003

Wow. My mouth is still watering from the assorted sushi (must have jumped out of the ocean onto my plate) and ingenious, daring rolls. Deep Sake selection and unusually large and good wine selection for a sushi rest. Specialty drink menu is hard to match and they are mixed extemely well. Unbelievable DJ spinning great lounge music during dinner and then smoothly mixing in house as the night progressed. A+ .. Enjoy the scene, great looking people. Pros: Great sushi, Smooth DJ Cons: 40 Minute wait, crowded more

Scorpion Roll ? 8/6/2003

These reviews are like stupid. Malls are the best thing ever! Jersey without malls is like saying New York City without beautiful women you know. The Sushi Lounge is not good for the food, no one goes there for the food, the sushi is so lame, it's typical for New Jersey. You go to the Sushi Lounge for the DJ's and the lounge like atmosphere. They play great beats, last night was Timberlake, Missy, and a lot of Wu Tang, thats hard to beat unless of course your J.Lo, Word! In closing, come to the Sushi Lounge right here in Hobo, for the phat djs, the drinks, the guiedos, the Irocs in the parking lot, the kids that pretend to be Hip Hoppers, and just chill you know, enjoy yourself, but don't eat the food! Cons: Lame rolls, New Wave Sushi, Weak DJ more

Now thats some good sushi! 8/5/2003

Look im completely baffled by the prev. negative reviews & dont know proper format 2 write a reviewBUT i do know is good sushi. If UR looking 4 the most tasty, well prepared, largest variety of never before sampled sushi, Sushi Lounge will live up to the expectations. &THENSOME... My mate&i arrived late on friday night&were seated immediately. Being native new yorkers, we both were very impressed&immediately felt at home with the trendy,upbeat atmosphere the place had to offer.The service wasOK,the menu is a bit pricey(but worth it),BUTthe sushi offered a zen-like quality that serious sushi lovers will truly appreciate.Delicious!! The highlight of the evening was the executive chef coming over to chat after he noticed""serious sushi eaters enjoying the fruits of his labor""He recommended some delicious/exotic speciality rolls that exceeded all expectations. Chef Henget takes great pride in his work&it shows! GO TO THE SUSHI LOUNGE&YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED! more

Best Sushi in NJ... 8/5/2003

Anticipated the worst from other reviews. Went Saturday night at 11:45pm regualr restaurant menu wasn't available but sushi was. Sat at small tables by bar area. Waitress wasn't overly friendly but attentive. Ordered many rolls, each one better than next. Fish quality top notch. Had the pleasure of having the executive chef visit our table and he ordered us one of his ""Scorpian"" specialities & sat with us to see how we liked it. It was awesome. The rolls were so good we had to order seconds. 2 ppl. bill was $75, wasn't bad for all we ate & still remained full hours later. Atmosphere was trendy with DJ playing tunes. Only downside is having to pay $15 for parking in the lot for just 2hrs, felt like city prices Definitely the BEST SUSHI place in NJ. should branch out & open more Pros: Open late, extensive menu, quality of food Cons: pay for parking, small seating area more
