“I loved this sushi place. The King Dragon Roll was excellent. The menu has a picture of every sushi roll. Our waitress Sky was friendly and attentive at the right times. My cup was always full of green tea that tasted like it was brewed at the correct temperature.“

“This is my favorite sushi place. Top quality sushi, top notch chefs, family run business !!! Awesome My favorite is their brown rice tea, eel special and smoke salmon sashimi“

“Great food and excellent service. I’ve been going here for many years.“

“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!“

“A little secret! Really good food! Tasty, fresh, and made with love.“

“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.“

“Ginza offers the best AYCE and regular sushi menus by far. I used to frequently go to MIZU-Long Branch for AYCE before and after COVID, but the experience declined—rude service from the start when you walk in and food that was bland or overly frozen - others I included would speak on the same topic. Ginza is a refreshing change: welcoming staff, better atmosphere, and consistently delicious, fresh dishes and clean!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Amazing tuna poke bowl! Will be back!“

“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.“

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

“I lived in NYC for about 12 years and when I moved to NJ I was very disappointed to not find good sushi in the area. I found Kanji and I have already been there 3 times. I try the Chinese food, the Hibachi and the sushi and all very impressive. Finally something worth to eat out in the area.“

“The food is fresh and beautifully presented. Waitstaff is so helpful. The restaurant is immaculate. Our favorite restaurant. It is worth the hour and a half drive to get there.“

“the service and the food“

“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.“

“Went out with family and just had a great time.Yes it’s outdated, we had red solo cups with plastic tablecloths but the food is amazing.Nice size portions Although they were very busy, food came out in a reasonable amount of time.

Kid-friendliness: Great fun tasty food

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space to move a wheelchair into and around the restaurant“

“Amazing dining experience and even found something I could eat being a picky eater…“

“This is the best Chinese Food in the world. I’m so serious. I’ve never had better food in my life. I actually like the fact that it’s plastic utensils so I know I’m getting fresh utensils. 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“
