Also, the Chicken Noodle Soup is so good. Definitely would say you’re missing out if you’ve been thinking not to go. It’s the best spot“

“Sono has always been our go to for delicious fresh sushi. Tonight there was a delay with our pick up....it's lent. We get it - they even gave us 2 free sodas to apologize. Then 2 hours later they send us an apology text. Honesty and apologetic. Now that's a classy move!“

“This is, by far, my favourite sushi place. Their alaska roll is my favorite thing and the avocados are always nearly perfectly ripe. I eat there in person, delivery, and take out frequently and am thrilled with all three. The alaska roll and holiday roll are both especially worth trying.“

“First time going and I’m hooked. The bowl that I ordered was amazing. Food was fresh and had great flavor. Definitely going to be my go to spot.“

“If you're a sushi lover looking for quality and quantity, this place is a hidden gem. The all-you-can-eat option is a dream come true — not just for the variety, but for the freshness and flavor packed into every bite.

The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in. The staff was warm, attentive, and fast without being pushy. You can tell they actually care that you’re having a good experience.

Now let’s talk about the star of the show: the Magic Salmon Rolls. Absolutely incredible. The salmon was buttery and fresh, perfectly paired with a unique combination of flavors that made each bite feel a little indulgent. Easily one of the best specialty rolls I’ve had in a long time.

Will definitely come back next time!“

“We found ourselves in the Red Bank area for an event and were looking for a late meal that wouldn’t break the bank. RB has a plethora of fantastic higher end restaurants but we were looking for quality at a good price and… we found it at Oriental Empire. Fusion offerings were pretty standard but the taste was amazing. Ordering the Pad See Ew and it was delicious, as good as I’ve had. Service was impeccable and a very relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“This place is a gem! I liked it better than sushi that cost 3x as much, everything was really fresh and the special rolls were really creative combinations, we had the Krusty Krab roll and the Black Angel Roll and were blown away. The fried rice had a really great flavor too, a sign of a great chef to make fried rice memorable!! We eat sushi a lot and I've never felt so strongly about a place that I went and wrote a review, this is really something special!!“

“Amazing tuna poke bowl! Will be back!“

“Solid bowl that hit the spot and warmed the body on a cold January afternoon. Pickled mushroom provided a mild tang to offset the richness of the broth, jammy-ish egg, and fatty pork belly. Staff was friendly and readily answered menu questions“

“Delicious food, cozy interior, great service. BYOB.“

“Great sushi! Always fresh :)“

“In town for an event, 8 of us went out for dinner. Everything was so delicious, the 3 of us still in town the next day went back the next night for round two.I personally enjoyed the Red Curry Chicken and Beef Pad Thai. Especially of note is their General Tso's Chicken which was ordered both nights, as it is mostly chicken, not cheap breading like a lot of other places. The Shrimp Shumi were also reordered on day two. The prices were completely reasonable as well. I would 100% return to this restaurant for round three.

Parking: Parking was easy as not a lot of people were there when we were, however I could see it getting crowded when busy.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is an outdoor ramp if needed.“

“We have been dining here since Covid hit. Awesome family owned business with great food, pleasant atmosphere, extensive menu (I’ve never made a bad choice but my go-to is the Pink Angel) . We are still here every Monday and holidays when we’re in town. 10

“Excelente lugar. super recomendado“

“The food and drinks are so delicious! Danielle and John are awesome! Perfect date night for me and my honey!“

“My wife and I patronize our favorite restaurants, usually for a specific dish that they serve that is better than similar dishes offered elsewhere. Every Thursday we go to Szechuan Tokyo specifically for the Negimaki, the Japanese dish consisting of broiled strips of beef marinated in teriyaki sauce and rolled with scallions. While it is not equal to the Negimaki to which I was accustomed when living in New York, it is the best to be found anywhere around this neck of the woods. Since it is BYOB, we usually stop at the Foodtown, located in the same strip mall, to pick up a bottle of Sake Wine to complement our meal. The service here is excellent - very friendly, fast, courteous, and efficient. The salad and miso soup, which are included with the meal, are always fresh and very tasty. My wife and I each get a California Roll, which is also quite good, as an appetizer before eating the Negamaki entrée. Every course arrives at the table at just the right time - never rushed. Best of all, the prices are extremely reasonable for such an enjoyable dining experience.“

“Really good food!!

I understand what people are saying about having to wait a long time for their order to be ready. I wish they accepted online payment for pickup orders because it seems that they don’t start cooking orders until customers come in and pay.“
