" I finally tried Ai Sushi after hearing so much buzz about it. I must say the omakase presentation was stunning, and the flavors were truly authentic. Each piece was distinct, showcasing different types of fish you don't often find elsewhere. The staff was warm and inviting, and even pointed out their social media for seasonal items. However, I did notice the dining space is quite small, so plan accordingly if you're in a large group. In any case, if you cherish authentic sushi experiences, I can't recommend Ai enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Ai Sushi for dinner, having heard it was the best sushi spot in New Jersey. It did not disappoint! The fish was incredibly fresh, and my husband loved the unique fish varieties they offered. Although the place is small and easy to miss, the quality makes up for it. I ordered a sushi platter, and my kids devoured every piece! The service staff were friendly but slightly slow, which is the only hiccup in an otherwise delightful experience. I highly recommend the omakase – it's well worth the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Ai Sushi last week, and I can't stop thinking about it! The omakase we ordered was incredibly delicious, featuring a wonderful selection of fish. The freshness was out of this world! The flavors were true to Japan's sushi traditions. The only drawback was the space felt a bit cramped and getting a reservation is essential. Overall, it was a fantastic experience where I left feeling satisfied and eager to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" After many visits to Ai Sushi, I can confidently state that this place has the best sushi around! From seasonal fish to the simplest nigiri, the quality is always superb. I’ve even recommended it to friends who visit from out of town, and they were equally impressed. The simple decor adds to the charm as the focus is truly on the food. It's definitely a little gem to uncover. Reservations are a must during weekends; though it's sometimes packed, the quality makes it worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally took the plunge and went to Ai Sushi after hearing all the fantastic reviews. Everything was beyond my expectations! The chefs prepared an impressive omakase meal with several seasonal fish that I had never tasted before. It's clear that they source only the best for their offerings. While the place is not flashy, the focus is where it should be – on the food. Service was attentive and friendly, and I felt right at home. I’ll be back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm not usually a sushi person, but Ai Sushi completely changed my view. The variety here is incredible, and the quality is evident in every bite. I ordered a few rolls and a sashimi platter; each was more fresh than I anticipated. I particularly loved the consideration given to sides like their ginger salad, which had a unique homemade dressing. It was busy, so the service was a bit slow. But ultimately, it was a fantastic experience and I left satisfied. If you're new to sushi like me, this place is a great introduction! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing dining experience at Ai Sushi! The omakase was delightful, especially the seasonal fish offered. The chefs are incredibly talented and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was relaxed, and they paid attention to every detail. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but absolutely worth every penny for high-quality sushi. I’ve already made plans to return. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)
