This place was great! Who ever the guy was that wrote the review stating in his first few lines how the clear soup was not right. This guy was stupid. They didn't have a Caucasian manager either.
Take it from me. I am not form this area and on travel from California will say this sushi was great. The service was great. You wont be disappointed.
They would of gotten 5 stars if it wasn't for the music blasting in my ears and having to repeat myself and asking the chef what did you say?He did turn it down so we can talk easier.
This place is fantastic! I've been searching for a good sushi place in the area since I moved here and I FINALLY found it!
I've never actually eaten AT Kyushu but I regularly order delivery and take it. No disappointments!
My recent favorites are the crazy tuna roll and the white pearl, SO DELICIOUS! My good ole fav (spicy tuna) is also so very fresh and yummy!! The staff has also been very very friendly. My new favorite spot!
Went here for take out. Ordered 2 clear soups, gyozas, "rock shrimp" tempura (misrepresentation since they are actually overcooked prefrozen baby shrimp)a salmon and a tuna roll.
Upon entering I was very impressed with what seemed like a very trendy interior, a mix of NYC lounge and trendy sushi joint.
But unfortunately that is where the trendiness ended, because unlike the crowd at most trendy lounges in NYC the crowd here s what u expect from your typical corner bar up here in Garfield/Wallington lol. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I like your typical jersey dive bar as much as the next man. Lol it just seems like an ironic contradiction lol
On to the food. . . It was not good.
I honestly think, the 4 stars this place is averaging is a misleading quite generous stretch. When considering the number of stars an establishment has, they should consider the number of 4 star reviews that were written by ppl with less then 6 reviews.
Kyushu is far from anything special and has awful customer service.
The salmon wasn't a good cut, It seemed to have seen better days and those days have long past..... it was void of any decent fat lines and it had an unappetizing dryness to it, the nori was equally as dry to the point it was causing the roll to come apart. The sushi rice was either stale or it was not completely cooked through, it had a very unappetizing texture to it. The salmon was of sub par quality, so much so that after one bite I had to put it down.
The maguro was no better. It seriously should not be classified maguro, simply based on the lack of quality and the fish being borderline supermarket quality fish. Again with this roll the rice and nori were equally as unappetizing. It was like if they took the scrappings of the tuna and threw it together, as the tuna was chopped into oblivion.
The food was awful to the point that I bagged everything back up and drove ten minutes back to return this atrocity.
I figured I would give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was an off day.
I found the customer service that I received was quite unbecoming and for better or less words quite rude.
The general manager, a Caucasian man, was very rude and condescending. He argued with me, that I must not know good quality sushi and that I must be utterly nuts to say the food did not taste good and the sushi did not taste right.
I thought that was funny, since I spend thousands of dollars yearly at some of the best sushi places around the country; from Nobu, Morimoto, Oiishi in Boston, Sagami in SNJ and in my opinion the best sushi in NJ at Sakura Bana in Ridgewood..
The sushi chef then put in his two cents in and in a huff stated that he prepared sushi at some of the best restaurants in NYC.
They seemed insulted when I pointed out that the supposed "rock shrimp" were in fact soggy frozen baby shrimp.
I wanted to give these guys another shot, but after the rude treatment from both the GM and the sushi chef I have written this establishment off.
Hopefully they ownership reexam their management options, bc the current staffs attitude is robbing the owners blind with their aloof knowledge in Japanese food and non existent customer service.
My two cents, if you want high quality extremely fresh sushi skip this place and drive 15 minutes north to Sakura Bana in Ridgewood!!
