Sushi Cafe — Restaurant in West Caldwell

Quaint little place in a location you would not normally expect to find great sushi!

Don't be in a rush, he's a one man show and worth the wait. The owner, Paul is super friendly and always smiling. There are regular weekly specials, and a recommendation or two if your undecided. He will exceed your expectations and the presentation is always part of the experience.

My wife and I brought a nice bottle of red, and sat at the open counter space front row to the chef. We started with a couple typical rolls and then took full advantage of the chefs attention. After mentioning some favorite flavors and textures, Paul fired off two of his own suggestions. If you like ginger sauce, and a kicked up roll with shrimp, avocado and eel, I would get his attention and make a special request. We followed up with his special lobster garden roll before pushing the plates back.

The staff is super attentive as you'd expect in a quaint local spot. The crowd is a mix of polite college students and local residents. All are often mentioning how long they've been coming back to eat at their favorite spot. We Highly Recommend it!!

Thursday Night - For those who enjoy both Quality and Quantity. Your welcome to sit from 5-8 and Eat All You Can!! The sign reads, "Clean your plate, or Pay full rate!" ...

Good quality fish. The restaurant moved recently, and since this is my first visit I cannot compare, but the new restaurant is really nice, with an attractive entrance, wall decor, and sushi bar. Some of it seems out of place with live music, college employees, and rock music, but it breaks the stereotypical mold of a sushi restaurant. It is BYOB, and the servers seemed to be new and a little confused on what to do. When we arrived, they handed me the wine key to open the bottles. Also, most tables were left for 15 minutes or more with all the dirty dishes after the party left. This probably would be five stars, but the service issues caused the dropped star. Will revisit to see if these...

I did door dash. I opened my food and the sushi pieces weren’t even the size of my thumb. They were so small. But that’s not even the point, the spicy tuna tasted very very weird. And so did the seeweed on the salmon roll, I opened it and the salmon was beat up all over. Then they gave me such little soy sauce, I’m not exaggerating. And the wasabi, I like wasabi, but they put very little, they were careless, they just slabbed a little bit on the side. And the price? I got three normal rolls not special ones normal ones. The total costed 86.15 I won’t be coming here again and neither should you if you want low...
