I gave 3 stars, but it's more 3.5.
And there's a reason for it as you will discover soon later on in this review.
Now, once again, like most AYCE locations, the reviewers who gave 5 stars, is because of their lack of experience with much higher quality locations. I feel 3.5. is fair and accurate.
Now from the outside you would think, "Did I come to the right place?" Because it doesn't look very appealing, but once you step inside, it has a cute dining area, and it is very clean.
Now for the main part. The quality of the fish used for their sushi is not up to par compared to most of its competitors.
Actually, they fall very short.
The only sushi that was worth ordering again was their Unagi, which is the freshwater Eel, and their Salmon. Their Salmon sashimi and nigiri were actually pretty good.
Now why did I give 3.5 despite the overall quality of the fish being poor?
Reason #1
As some of you may know, the majority of AYCE locations in the Tri-State area are owned by Chinese people. That being the case, the majority of AYCE Sushhi locations offer the same service you get at most $10 Chinese buffets.
No smiles. No communication. No serving.
This is where Mr Sushi differed for me. The service at Mr Sushi exceeded the service of most other AYCE locations, which you can tell by my reviews, I have been to many.
I, am a rule, will always choose decent food and great service, over delicious food and horrible service. The waitresses at Mr Sushi are awesome! But their food quality does need to improve.
Reason #2
Their green tea, red bean, and chocolate ice cream are amongst the best I've ever had from buffets and AYCE locations.
The prices of gas and tolls makes it a difficult trip to make, but only if the fish quality improved, I would make it bi-weekly.
There is no separate lunch menu as the same menu is served all day.
If you were planning on making a trip, here is what you should order:
Eel Nigiri
Salmon Nigiri and Sashimi
Japanese Sausages
Pork Ramen Noodles
Beef Teriyaki
Beef Yakitori
Shrimp Tempura (a must)
Crab Tempura
Spider Roll
Pork Buns
Chinese Donuts
ALL THEIR ICE CREAM!
As I drove back to PA and crossed the bridge and paid my hefty toll, I could only think "What could have been...."
