Great sushi at a fair price. Ordered the Kubo, Orange Blossom, Spicy Unagi, Tiger, and White Dragon. The Tiger was my favorite, a very well balanced roll with the perfect amount of spice. Photographed are the CA roll and Kubo, Tiger, and Orange Blossom rolls. Will definitely visit again to bring friends and family when I’m showing people around the area!

I ordered lunch take out from Amakai. The food is really good, and not very expensive. I ordered beef teriyaki bento. The taste of the teriyaki sauce is little bit sweet. Beef is grilled just about the right time ( not too chewy and not too raw). The rice is Japanese rice, I like it! Gyoza is deep fried, so it’s crispy outside. Miso soup is as expected. I would come back again and try sashimi or roll on my next visit.

Small place but it’s very nice. You can watch them make your sushi. Sushi there is top notch. I recommend getting at least one hand roll. If you go as a group of 4 or more you can make reservations.

From the NYC-NJ area and this place is up there with probably one of the freshest sushi that I’ve ever had. The only downside was that they were short staffed and had to wait a bit. There were signs all over the restaurant informing of the staff shortage and to expect longer than normal wait times. They handled what they could during the lunch hour rush. Pretty good sushi. Would come back here again when I come back to the area.
