HonshuDecember 16, 2016$1 off for ANY oyster in happy hours 4:30pm-6:30pm. BluePoint $1. Beers, sake, wine & bottle in happy hours price. $5 appetizers and more. Have fun @"50 best sushi bars in America" the Daily Meal.
I've tried them all and this is the best sushi place in Jersey City. Like everyone else said, get the spicy tuna tartare.
Rock shrimp - the perfect appetizer to share with friends. And although the Godzilla roll is delicious, my absolute fave has to be the fire roll! <3 service is attentive too (:
YumiNovember 10, 2017Happy hours is pretty cool, I got Japanese whiskey for $ 6 -unbelievable price. Omakase is fantastic, fancy fish, excellent oyster with Michellin star presentation. Better than many NYC sushi places.- Nabashis Dev MisraMay 16, 2016Honshu food is really fresh and they have a friendly staff.i must say that this place serves some of the best sushi options even for vegetarians...
- Yujin EJune 20, 2017Been here many times. Their omakase is top - fancy fish from Tsukiji, love so much LIVE scallop & LIVE shrimp (it is real live). Compare to Manhattan sushi, they are much cheaper. Sake is superb!
- May SuzukiSeptember 7, 2018It is a fun restaurant that you can come back EVERYTIME. Happy hour special is rock, lunch special is fast & great deal and Omakase if you have extra budget. Not to mention, outdoor space is fantastic
- ThomasAugust 11, 2017Happy hours are rock..expensive Japanese whiskey are start from $ 6. Nowhere else you can get this price. Oysters are $ 1 off and many appetizers for $ 5. I left very satisfied for $ 30.
- TaiMay 31, 2017This sushi place is rock! Order the omakase or special fish appetizer. Please not to skip their sake list.
- Be.JaDecember 15, 2017Don't skip Omakase when the head chef there. His skill blows your mind. Two thumbs up for Japanese whiskey and sake collections. Service is very attentive.
My favorite is the sushi platter for 2! Very much worth the value. Get the soba noodles, not the ramen if u want something warm!
Try the Honshu and Fashion Rolls, very tasty. Good sushi and sashimi dinners for 2 to share. Ask about oysters—many times they will be available and not listed on the website’s menu.- Sort of a hidden gem that's popular among sushi lovers. Best place in in Jersey City (Komegashi Too is a close second).
- SteFebruary 2, 2018Must try special of the day!! Oyster, happy hours and sake are great deals. Be friend as their facebook & instagram to get their special.
Amanda Petrocelli McLeanMarch 24, 2015Spicy tuna tartare is a mandatory order when you come here. Sushi is amazing. Service is great too!
Almost everything is good here. The happy hour is outstanding. Excellent service
Eric StimpsonMarch 6, 2018Blue fin tuna app is absolutely amazing!! Routinely excellent lunch location.
Ordered sashimi delivery and it was impressive. Beautiful and varied, perfectly sliced, pleasingly plated.
Fried oysters, whole squid calamari, & spicy tuna tartar. Do it! Also, Stop by the liquor store up the block & pick up some tall boys of Asahi.- Try the Montgomery Roll - Spicy tuna, fresh salmon, toasted eel, avocado, tobiko and eel sauce
Liza PDecember 24, 2021Omakase is very good ...but...last time I was there we saw a rat so I'm never going back
Be daring...Get the uni... Mash it in your soy sauce and enjoy the flavor as you dip everrything else. Amazing.
By now everyone knows that you must order the spicy tuna tartar but after you're done keep the sauce to dip in other rolls or your fingers! Haha
Marcela DuronSeptember 13, 2015Pros: Montgomery roll is good. Sashimi and sushi is fresh. Cons: music is too loud, feels like u r @ a club
Great Sushi place. Lobster Rolls are a bit pricey, but worth every penny.- Don't forget the desserts too! Fried bananas or the spring roll cheesecake are to die for!
Two hours later and I'm still saying how good it was. Spider roll and spicy tuna tartar app. Drool.
- Ben SookyingMarch 30, 2010Montgomery roll is the bomb! Spicy Tuna Tartar is a house specialty - not to mention a worl of art, sushi pizza is off the hook!
OMG...MY FAVORITE SUSHI SPOT IN JERSEY...TRY THE SPICY TUNA TARTAR.....look like mini volcanos.....yummy
- do yourself a favor, order the spicy tuna tartar. your nights' done...SMILE
James CastronuovoMarch 27, 2010It's BYOB. Bring vodka they make virgin drinks that usually mix well with vodka. Food is good. Enjoy.
