" Absolutely phenomenal sushi experience! I visited Ai Sushi after being recommended by a friend, and I am so glad I did! The omakase was not just sushi; it was an adventure through different flavors and textures. The chefs were not only skillful but really knew their stuff. The monkfish liver was a highlight for me. The place isn’t the fanciest, but it is a cozy and quiet space to enjoy amazing food. I will definitely return for another round of sushi indulgence soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Ai Sushi was unforgettable. We opted for omakase for a special occasion, and every course was more satisfying than the last. The chef is a true master, presenting beautiful dishes that tempted all the senses. I was particularly impressed with a piece of aori ika, which was not only rare but also tasted vibrant and fresh. While the venue could use a bit of refurbishing, the food more than compensates for it. Be prepared to spend a bit of cash, but it is worth the experience to enjoy such authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Ai Sushi! Their omakase is absolutely top-tier. The experience of tasting such fresh fish from a great chef is something every sushi lover should indulge in. Even if the place is a little hidden, once you step inside, you're welcomed by flavors that transport you. The vibe is relaxed, and the prices are reasonable considering the quality provided. I’ll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

I would say this is the best sushi in NJ. The atmosphere, while not fancy, has a friendly vibe. We received great service throughout the meal, and I was amazed at how filling everything was. Every visit leaves me wanting to try more. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Ai Sushi, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience! I enjoyed the omakase, which was full of flavor and freshness. The attention to detail in flavor combinations and presentation was impressive. Though it’s tucked inside a building, the friendly environment makes the experience cozy. A small downside was the wait, but the meal was well worth it. I hope to return soon to try more of their innovative dishes! " (*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*)
