What People Are Saying About Sushi Lounge

Featured Review

Kara Zuaro

Contributor

The Scene – Slick martinis and infused sakes provide the buzz and a DJ lends the beats, but the sushi chefs steal the spotlight at this energetic, unpretentious lounge. A long, thin bar offers maximized front-row seating for those who like to watch the chop and roll. Tables up a few stairs in the back make for more secluded dining. – – The Food – Not sold on Hoboken sushi? This place will raise your expectations on standard rolls. The spicy tuna, untainted by gooey mayonnaise, showcases mouth-melting fresh fish encased in a thin roll of sticky rice. The impeccable,…

  1. The sushi is tasteless and has gotten VERY SMALL, $14.
  2. Great fish, great vibe, but no attitude.
  3. Ambiance was warm and inviting, service was excellent, and the food was even better.
  4. The HOBOKEN roll is to die for, spicy tuna is delicious.
  5. Fun place w/ good food
  6. If your into high volume Teenage Bubble Gum Pop music, kids dressed like a bad rap video, and sushi thats not really sushi, then you'll probably think that Sushi Lounge is "phat
  7. the service is sub-par, and has been on every trip, the sushi varies - from slightly above average to poor (had a very very fishy maguro, which isn't a culinary stretch), and the music is often too loud to allow any coversation (i like the music, i just l
  8. It was crowded, the music was fun, drinks were strong and sushi was good.
  9. This is one of the best sushi restaurants ANYWHERE.
  10. The sushi si really good, however I did not get any type of sashimi.
  11. restaurant/lounge. Great food, great music and the overall ambiance can't be beat.
  12. The Sushi Lounge is not good for the food, no one goes there for the food, the sushi is so lame, it's typical for New Jersey.
  13. Noisy atmosphere but great food.
  14. The fish is FRESH, and you feel like you can actually sit and enjoy yourself while you eat (unlike some other local sushi houses which rely on take-out or delivery).
  15. The service wasOK,the menu is a bit pricey(but worth it),BUTthe sushi offered a zen-like quality that serious sushi lovers will truly appreciate.
  16. If you are looking for a place with great sushi try Ubu across the street from Sushi Lounge.
  17. great sushi restaurant in NJ.
  18. Sushi Lounge may be the best sushi in Jersey, but it can't compare to places in NYC on its best day.
  19. The service and the food were great.
  20. The fish is as fresh as any I have had, and I've dined all over the world.
  21. The new head sushi chef has loads of talent and you truly will not find more creative sushi anywhere, especially in NJ.
  22. If you love sushi, don't miss it!
  23. The highlight of the evening was the executive chef coming over to chat after he noticed"serious sushi eaters enjoying the fruits of his labor"He recommended some delicious/exotic speciality rolls that exceeded all expectations.
  24. The rolls were plentiful and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and the sushi was MOUTHWATERING AND EXTREMELY FRESH.
  25. the food was delicious.
  26. sushi lounge is good if you don't ever get out of hoboken.
  27. The sushi is always fresh and delicious!
  28. The food was extremely fresh.
  29. Kitchen food is very good, but go for the sushi, it melts in your mouth.
  30. DJ's are very good and you really can't beat the sushi anywhere I've eaten.
  31. Sushi Lounge thinks very little of the people in Hoboken, which is evident is their horrible service, chewy, cold sushi, and amateur service.
  32. But seriously the food is consistently great, remember the edemame should be hot not warm and I'll be back!
  33. At nearby Robongi which has huge rolls meaning plenty of fish and $1.50 miso soups the soups were three times the size as SL.
  34. Poor hobokenites, no good sushi place to go.
  35. At best, it's a mediocre restaurant, forget about the fish variety, I asked for Char (A sushi staple), and received a blank look from the waiter, same fish here as any grocery store.
  36. First of all the food is fantastic.
  37. Very good dj's (everynight) and I have never been disappointed in a meal.
  38. The atmosphere isn't as nice but the sushi is fantastic.
  39. Great scene with unbelieveable food!
  40. Sushi is as fresh as you can find, anywhere.
  41. negative reviews & dont know proper format 2 write a reviewBUT i do know is good sushi.
  42. The sushi is pretty good.
  43. They should get a top chef that can really cut fish, a good staff that know their menu, and at LEAST 60 variety of fish, which as any avid sushi fan knows: makes or breaks the expirience.
  44. If UR looking 4 the most tasty, well prepared, largest variety of never before sampled sushi, Sushi Lounge will live up to the expectations.
  45. Sushi is always as fresh as can be!
  46. Now thats some good sushi!
  47. This place has huge pieces of fresh fish and a great atmosphere.
  48. If you are looking for a nice looking crowd with fresh sushi and very good dj's, here you go.
  49. Although the service and the atmosphere are a plus, the sushi is horrible.
  50. Their creative roles and presentation just add more enjoyment to the meal.
  51. Great fish and nice atmosphere.
  52. Additionally, where can you eat great sushi and be entertained by a DJ or a live jazz trio in NJ, or NY for that matter?

Great Sushi, Great Service

by sweet a

The food is outstanding, the appetizers are amazing and the service couldn't be better. I usually combine some sushi with one or two of their very creative cocktails, yummy.

The only downside is the atmosphere. Although the crowd is usually pleasant I don't like to style, it's more like a sports-bar and just too small. Their location in Totowa is much much better.

Great for a date

by MickeyFricchione

Sushi Lounge is perfect for a first date! It's right on the river and has a great view-- I took this girl I was seeing for the first time there last week. It's tiny with just a few tables and very intimate. I got this huge Dragon Roll that melted in my mouth and she wouldn't stop raving about this TY KU cocktail on their menu with agave nectar! The best part was during dinner out of no where fire works went off over the river! Talk about looking like mr. romantic-- she loved it!

  • Pros: Tiny and romantic with a great view
  • Cons: The place is kind of noisy!

Nice Presentation

by sharmagirl

The HOBOKEN roll is to die for, spicy tuna is delicious. Their presentation is amazing and the service is prompt and courteous. It is usually loud inside of the restaurant so I would reccomend sitting outside on a nice night. The sushi si really good, however I did not get any type of sashimi. Great date spot.

  • Pros: Specialty Rolls
  • Cons: Small and Loud

Loved It!

by Deehz

I enjoyed myself at Sushi Lounge I tried new things and they were delish!! I LOVE their desserts!!! It gets a bit packed so you may have to wait, and sometimes they blast the music a little too loud. But other than that I loved it. The service and the food were great. It isn't pricey at all, even better they have their menu posted online so you can take a look before you even stop by how great is that??

  • Pros: Cozy,Ambiance, Service, Food, Price
  • Cons: It's a bit hard to find parking in hoboken...
