Sushi Village — Restaurant in Town of Poughkeepsie

TLDR: Friendly Staff, Good Sushi.

Our party opted for the all you can eat option. It was 35 bucks a person; a price that was a little steep in my opinion, compared to AYCE places elsewhere, including in New York City, but given the location I guessed there was a reason for the 5-8 dollar step-up. The waitstaff were friendly and frequently came by to check up on us and offer more AYCE sheets.

The sake, according to the others, was a little watery and didn’t taste quite great. Otherwise, the kitchen entrees, sushi, and sashimi were great. We ordered a variety of rolls, fish, and appetizers, more than I can remember. I do recommend the miso soup and spring rolls, but the mushroom soup, although tasty, was quite salty. The rolls were not bad. I found that some of the ingredients in the descriptions for the rolls were missing from the actual rolls, although these were pretty minor details, such as a little sprinkle of tobiko or drizzle of sauce. The sashimi was great. The staff honored our requests for multiple pieces at a time. Fresh, tasty, and worth the increase in price compared to other AYCE places. We were absolutely full by the end of our meal. One thing I will mention is the lack of a time limit, which the staff seemed to advertise, telling us to take our time with eating. I’ll also mention that some types of fish (e.g. yellowtail) were only available in sushi or roll form, not in sashimi. To finish it all off, the ice cream was great.

Overall, was a great meal and would recommend to anyone looking for...

My current visit was absolutely horrible I ordered 3 inside out rolls the waitress says seaweed on the outside I say no rice on the outside she seemed confused but took the order she brings out my Sushi and there are three rows of rice deep. I called her over shoulder to Sushi and explain to her that that was unacceptable. She takes it back bring me back the same rolls with some of the rice taken out now it looks like a deformed miniature version of what a sushi roll should look like. I ended up not eating any sushi and returning it. Afterwards she proceeded to tell me that because it was a lunch special they couldn't make it correctly I asked her what she accomplished besides from getting a bad review and pissing off a local customer if she would have offered me normal sushi for a regular price I would have gladly accepted but she was expecting me to tell her how to run her business. Also the quality of the fish was subpar when I walked in I took a look at their display and should have known better and walked out. These guys need to go on Ramsay Gordon's show Sushi nightmares. Now I am no expert sushi chef but I can make better with a YouTube video. If I could give this place a...

We’ve read the positive reviews about sushi village, and have wanted to try it for AYCE, but decided to order takeout for dinner this past Sunday first and we are glad that we did. Overall, we found the food quite underwhelming. My husband and I split the sushi for two, and ordered seaweed salad and shrimp/vegetable tempura for our son’s dinner, and beef negimaki to share as an appetizer. The seaweed salad is the same as what you get at any restaurant, and the tempura was good, although I only tried the vegetables. The beef negimaki was bland. The sushi was disappointing overall. The spicy tuna roll had no flavor, and the “amazing roll” is incorrectly named. It’s stuffed with more filler items than fish and was topped with mango and god awful spicy mayo. The nigiri was slightly better although the rice was bland, and some of the fish cuts were quite thick. The calamari pieces were chewy and hard and inedible. We are big sushi fans and unfortunately have been spoiled by better quality sushi so this was a...
