Im a bit of a snob, so was skeptical to eat here, but was very much pleasantly surprised. The price for all you can eat is very reasonable, and I loved the idea of all the small plates that were unlimited. The garlic edamame was to die for, and the fried chicken wing, tempura, and fried rice were all delicious. The dinner was a great experience. Only setback was that the red bean ice cream just tasted like vanilla, and I was very eager to see what the new flavor was like. Otherwise, a great, affordable spot!

The staff was friendly and were very accommodating. We go here once a year as we drive through NJ and this has become a yearly stop. The menu is fantastic and quality of the food is great. We will definitely be back, again!

Who doesn't like a good 'all-you-can-eat'? Sometimes, despite better judgment, one just has to let their inner 'fat-kid' out and go nuts. But let's be perfectly clear on something - it is very rare should one come across an a.y.c.e. where the food is exceptional. Most a.y.c.e.'s are about pumping out lots of cheaply prepared, carb-rich, salty food that separates a fool from his dollar after just two plates. Now, if you're a seasoned buffet professional, you know all the secrets to swindling the swindlers. Start with the proteins, specifically the high-end stuff - skip all the things that are going to trip you up; rice, noodles, pastas, and breads. I like to start with the snow crab legs, lobster tails, boiled shrimp (not fried), and obviously, Prime Rib. But you won't find any of those items on the menu here. This establishment gives you two options. Just two.
Sushi or Cajun.
Now, I know that sounds bizarre, and it is. You can't even combine from one menu to the next. You have to make the decision whether or not you want Sushi or Cajun.
Now this is a conundrum for me, because Sushi and Cajun cuisines are my favorite - so you can imagine my disappointment when I asked to do both and the waitress said I had to pick just one menu.
Major Point Reduction.
I went with Sushi. And the wife and I went all out. Okay, truthfully, we went overboard.
The result, well... I had mixed reviews. You see, they did some things right, but mostly wrong. And they prepared a few things well, but mainly, it was kind of mediocre.
We started with a Miso soup. It was tasty, but it was practically all broth and little to no tofu, scallions, and nori. Next, grilled squid, or ikayaki, in a teriyaki glaze. It was okay. But the shumai and the gyoza, now those were good (even though I think they came from a bag).
Then our sushi arrived, and I realized that perhaps we had been a little overzealous, as the pictures would suggest. But I wasn't about to pay the additional fee for food wasted charge, so I soldiered on and finished my meal with zest and fervor... and immediately regretted the overexuberance of my folly.
It was my first and only meal of the day. I couldn't eat another bite afterward.
Now, as for the sushi. The quality of the ingredients was very good, but the preparation was lacking. The fish to rice ratio favored the rice, and the rice was underseasoned.
For $28.99 per person, we pigged out - and that's okay. I was in a sushi coma by the meals end. But was it worth pig-out? My answer: sort of. Some of the rolls were very tasty, and others were bland. The fact that specialty rolls and common rolls are both included in the same price means that a diner should stick to the specialty rolls - you get a lot more value for what you are given. But if nigiri is your thing, then this place is a bit of a letdown. I was disappointed that the nigiri pieces I ordered were as bland as they were.
If you're the kind of person who mixes Wasabi into your soy sauce and drowns your maki pieces in the mixture after slathering each piece with a slice of pickled ginger, or a person who values quanity over quality, then this place is perfect for you. If you are, however, a purist, then stick to your high-end omakase.
Would I go back? Yes, I believe I would; but to try the Cajun side of the menu and compare my findings, or to scratch a sushi gorgefest if ever the craving to be a disgusting piglet arises again.
Vegetarian options: Clearly marked vegetarian dishes and items. You know, rabbit food.
Dietary restrictions: Again. It's Sushi. And Cajun. Think fish and think spicy fish.
Parking: Weird parking lot, far off to the side. I can see how night

I’ve been a regular customer at AJ’s. I’ve eaten here at least 15x for the past 5 years. They have the best quality of fish for sushi for an AYCE. Every time I wanna try an AYCE sushi closer to me, I always just end up driving to AJ’s as I am sure the quality is great!

Normally I would give this place five stars because of the food but I was seriously disappointed when we came to celebrate my mother in laws birthday with 4 guests. We called and They told us we could not make reservations for 4 people (only for parties of 16) and that it was first come, first serve which we were totally okay with.
When we walked in and asked for a table, they told us it could be about a 25 minute wait. Again we were okay to wait. However We saw an entire 8 top available and asked if the table was reserved. The hostess said no, they reserve that table for big parties. Again we inquired, “so there are no parties of 8 here sitting at the table and even though we are here ready to be sat, you won’t sit us?” The woman again said no. They save that table for parties of 8 and refused to separate the table. So eventually we walked away.
It just made no sense. What kind of business is willing to turn away paying guests just in case someone else comes? Despite their “first come first serve” policy. I was really disappointed. Off to the Red Crab! 🦀
Lack luster. Vegetable udon flavorless. Never seen red onion tempura. We had to eat and it was this or a chain food restaurant. We made a mistake

Got the AYCE sushi option and found an ant in the sushi… extra protein I guess. The fish was neither fresh nor good, and although the rolls were decent, the individual sushi pieces were fishy and thin. Pricing was ok but not overall not very worth it. Service was good though!
Food is always fresh and service is always quick!
