Absolutely fantastic omakase experience! Every dish was thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor. Chef Jayson was incredibly friendly and attentive — you can truly feel his passion and creativity in each course. The service was top-notch, and the entire atmosphere made the night unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience!
Drove quite the distance to try this place and it really was not worth it. The place seemed understaffed with food coming out late and waiter not waiting on us much at all. Fish quality was ok but the rice was hard and not quite right. The hall was not kept well with unclean tables, crooked chairs, and uneven placement of table boards. They can probably get by as mediocre local japanese restaurant. But I would say def below average of sushi joints ive tried.

Solid option for Japanese food in Jersey City. Convenient parking lot nearby. Service is nice and lots of options on the menu.

I am shocked and how disappointed I am at nigiri. My review is below, but if you read no further, go anywhere but here.
We had a res at 745 and arrive 10 minutes early. We were sat down at 815, restaurants get backed up and this wouldn’t have been a problem, however nigiri texted us that day that if we were 5 minutes late, we would forfeit the $390 prix fix we had already paid(before tax and tip).
We sit down and to my surprise we are in a covered balcony with outdoor heaters inside (it’s February). The ambiance from the paper menus to the terrible chairs to the plastic place mats made the entire experience feel awful. Keep in mind we paid $390 for 2 people.
Overall the sushi was OK at best. There are comparable place in JC at half the rate.
We also had plans at 945. We were that table are only reserved for 1.5 hours. Given that our red was at 745 we figured we’d be fine. We ultimately got our last piece of the pre set menu at 1040 and promptly paid tax and tip by 1045 and left. This place took THREE HOURS for what they said they’d kick us out for after 1.5.
Overall: the sushi was 5/10. The staff was nice enough but the experience we had was unacceptable. I have never written a review before and am SHCOKED at the rating/social media presence this place has. I have never had such a poor experience at a restaurant.
Avoid this place for your own sanity.

Amazing experience! Omakase is delicious and fun Update: I’ve been back here many times over the past year and the omakase has never stopped being incredible. The consistency in quality throughout each season is impressive. The uni tasting is not to be missed—choose the large course option. The chef told me that there will be exciting menu changes in 2025. I hope more people will discover this omakase restaurant because it’s the best in JC by far

I wanted to love this place but it was OK for $300 for 2 in JC, can’t say I think it was worth the price.
The fish is def very fresh and great quality but the pieces are small and I didn’t love all the combos. The weirdest one was the waygu with egg (which tasted bitter to me) and the best was their spin on ceviche with a mango salsa.
Ambience is a bit weird with the crowded counter. Prob should only be seating 6 vs 8. For the price and experience I’d go with Sushi by Bou or DomoDomo

The omakase is good for the price. The service was friendly and attentive. The only issue is the decor and music felt like I was at a party instead of a nice omakase restaurant. This took away from the nice experience we had during our visit.

Nigiri is my favorite omakase!! The restaurant itself is such a vibe with city views and proximity to the waterfront. Nigiri has the best chefs, the omakase is exciting, creative and mouth-watering. I haven’t had an omakase that compares. You will not be disappointed!!!
