Shumi Japanese Cuisine

We came to Shumi for our annual anniversary omakase. To say that the food was out of this world is to say nothing. They started us with a soup with cooked tuna sushi roll. It was new to us and interesting. The bowl was bursting with umami. Chawanmushi — Japanese egg custard came next. Tender smooth and smoky it was hiding mushrooms and a fish cake. Then there was a sushi platter — different ways with tuna, salmon and yellowtail. Scallop and fish tempura arrived next. I didn’t catch the name of the fish mentioned by our server. Another sushi platter: tamago on one end and smoked eel on the other, with three rolls based on monkfish liver topped with octopus and tuna, wrapped in incredibly flav...

Shumi is one of my favorite sushi places in NJ. I have been numerous times and have done both Omakase experiences ordered other items off the menu. My brothers’ and their wives love it as well and frequently go! It’s a family favorite. Every time I have gone it was always filled with people. It created such an energetic vibe with the people including the music. Not overwhelming though, it’s the perfect amount to almost still feel intimate with whom your dining with. I’ve had a pleasure at trying both the sushi bar and regular tables I personally prefer the bar if I’m doing Omakase. But if I’m ordering regularly from the menu, the tables are just perfect. The staff are always attentive and gr...

Don’t ever try the Omakase here. I ordered the Omakase and this is the worst experience I’ve ever had. If the sushi come out with plates, it should not have been called as “Omakase”. The rice part is literally smaller than my finger… my friend ordered other rolls and the nori and rice are obviously not even attached tightly. To be fair, they taste okay. I do not know what else I can say except for Melani, the girl who served us is super nice and patient.

Some of the best sushi I've ever had. My girlfriend and I got the omakase special and werr very impressed with the quality of the fish and the garnishes that paired well with each. It was plenty of food too, so definitely worth the money. The decor and vibe were fun, and the wait staff were all friendly and attentive, which helped further elevate the experience. Would definitely recommend Reserva una mesa ahora

The omakase experience was mediocre, and the noise level was too high, making it difficult to hear the waiter. The staff could benefit from better training and perhaps a more laid-back approach. The decor could use some improvement as well. That said, the quality of the fish was acceptable, but the chef’s technique didn't showcase it well. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place.

We had a fantastic experience at the restaurant! The prices are reasonable, and the ambiance is delightful. We ordered four appetizers and two rolls to share between two people, and since it's a BYOB place, we brought our own drinks. The portions for the appetizers were just right, and the service was attentive. We will definitely be returning!

Food was great, had sushi sashimi combo. Good portion and great quality for the price. I like my sushi rolls with minimal rice and it was perfect. Cons: parking in the area is a mission. But not to the restaurant's fault, music was too loud to talk with person across from me at a 2 person table, and service was good minus feeling rushed.

Incredible omakase experience featuring fresh sushi and rolls. The quality of the dishes is outstanding. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area or anyone looking for a fantastic meal. The omakase is plentiful, so be sure to come hungry! Reserva una mesa ahora

I haven’t had such great sushi for a long time! The fish was very fresh and anything we tried was awesome. Hats off to the kitchen team. The staff were very friendly. This place is BYOB.
