Teaneck Sushi Buffet

Came in with my hubby on Memorial Day at around 1:30 and it wasn't too packed. Everyone was socially distanced - I thought it was cute that they put a parasol on top of the tables where people weren't allowed to sit at. We were sat at a cozy booth (although at times, too cozy because we had to make a couple of requests multiple times). There was no lunch pricing that day, probably since it was a holiday, but we wanted sashimi anyway (which isn't typically included on lunch menus for AYCE anyway) To start, we ordered a kani salad and seaweed salad, which I like to mix together. No complaints here. We normally don't order cooked food from these places but decided to try the shrimp tempura and chicken wing. The shrimp tempura was not bad - your typical Costco freezer aisle shrimp tempura. The chicken wings were dry but at least they were crispy (my husband enjoyed these). We also had a miso soup, which was standard. Now onto the main course. The sashimi were basically regular pieces of sashimi cut in half, but I wasn't mad at it. I actually liked the smaller pieces. Plus, you could always order more. The tuna was unsightly pink but it tasted fine, thankfully. The salmon and white fish were also good. They also have spicy salmon/tuna sashimi, which I was wondering how they would do that. They just put some spicy fish on top of a cucumber slice, which was very innovative. I really liked this because it allowed me to eat spicy fish without the extra carbs. For rolls, we went with the soft shell crab tempura, New York Roll (tuna, salmon, yellowtail jalapeno & tobiko, served with wasabi mayo sauce), and some other ones, which I can't really remember. To be honest, all of the special rolls at fushi places taste the same to me. But I'm not complaining - I know what I'm getting myself into when I come to these places. To finish off, I always like to order a soup before dessert to end my meal (what can I say, I'm Asian). I ordered the tom yum and everyone should avoid this. It smelled and kind of tasted like feet. Stick to the miso. For dessert, they have fried oreo! I'm not a huge fan but it's nice that they have this on the menu because most places don't. Ice cream choices are green tea, red bean, vanilla, and chocolate. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and will definitely make a return visit. There are the small little details they are doing to try and make themselves stand out, which I appreciate.

This is our neighborhood sushi restaurant. I can't tell you the difference new ownership has made. The sushi was mediocre in its previous iteration. Under new ownership, this restaurant has made slight decor updates, but significant food quality improvements. My daughter and I went a couple of months ago when they reopened. It was the first day, the service staff was mostly confused and short on many some items. Since then our family has eaten here 8 or 10 times. The sushi is of good quality, fish is fresh and the lunch buffet is a great bargain. We are grateful that we now have a fantastic eating option in walking distance of our home. As long as prices don't go up, I highly recommend sushi house.
