Miga Sushi — Restaurant in Livingston

We visited Miga Sushi in their Livingston NJ location and thank God we arrived before 6pm. The restaurant has about 15 tables and 8 booths, but the ceilings are incredibly low, so it's quite noisy.

Miga is a new restaurant in this location as it was previously occupied by another Japanese restaurant. It's located in a busy plaza, off route 10 and in the same plaza as Aldi, Paris Baguette and a few shops, so the parking lot is very full.

I can't say I was overly excited about Miga. Since the restaurant has a AYCE option which many patrons order, it looks like a factory. There are no sushi bar seats, but on this busy Friday night, there were 6 chefs preparing sushi, sashimi and rolls at the bar. The waiters were quite efficient but not overly friendly.

The restaurant offers a regular menu in addition to the All You Can Eat but the AYCE fish portions are much much smaller than those on the menu. My husband ordered the AYCE (photo attached) and I had the Chirashi dish which I thought was good. In addition I order the Age tofu which was quite tasty.

Not sure I'd return here for dinner - as I said, the place was very loud and it was hard to have a conversation.

There is a 5% fee for credit card payments -...

I've been looking for a decent AYCE sushi spot and I think this has to be it. Big fan of their selection and their specialty rolls are really good. I appreciate the fish to rice ratio. I found the fish for the sashimi to be a bit too cold for me, but happy with the sushi/nigiri and the rolls. Its also BYOB and they don't take reservations so make sure you get there at a decent time otherwise there will be a wait. We arrived 6:30pm on a Friday night and we're able to be seated immediately at the sushi bar because there was just 2 of us. But if you have a larger group, it will be tougher. It looked like around 7pm is when it really started getting packed. Love that it's also BYOB. They'll provide an ice bucket upon request. Green tea is $2.50 each but they bring you a tea pot. Otherwise everything is truly AYCE. The service is nice and attentive which always is a question when it comes to these places. Food turnout is pretty quick too even on a very busy night. Price is...

The last several times that we came, the same thing happened in where we did not get what we ordered. We are not big eaters so the count of sushi pieces is within reason imo. For a family of 4 we ordered, 14 pieces of salmon, 14 pieces of tuna and 14 pieces of yellow tail. We received 10 pieces of salmon, 8 pieces of tuna and 7 pieces of yellow tail. We had to order another round which we had to wait for another 25-30 mins. I understand that they don't want patrons to waste food but customers should get the number ordered. If they have a limit on each item they should state that on the order sheet. Given that it was a Saturday, it was very busy but had they given us what we ordered we could have vacated our...
