Tgi Sushi - Newark

5TH FRIDAY OF LENT: LAST RESORT FOR DINNER Most addicts are feening for something knowing they can 't have it. Well for Catholics the addiction is eating meat (primary beef, pork, and poultry) on Fridays during Lent. During those days Catholics could eat fish but not meat. On the 5th Friday of Lent I already had fish for lunch. For dinner I was hungry. I thought about just getting dessert that night, but I felt dessert wouldn 't diminish my hunger enough that evening. As a last resort I choose this eatery for dinner based on one dish sake donuri, which is salmon over rice. I felt this type of rice bowl would satisfy my hunger during dinner. I placed a pick up order of the sake donburi. Fearing that dish might not be enough for me to become full I also ordered the mixed tempura as an appetizer. The mixed tempura was a nice start to quelch my hunger for meat. Despite the vegetables were packaged in a plastic container the mixed tempura was still slightly crunchy. The sake donburi on the other hand was puzzling. The salmon over steamed rice should sound enticing. The salmon was moist but lacked flavor. For the amount I paid for this dish, which was about over $20, I was disappointed. If I ordered another dish besides the sake donburi I would probably rate Kiseki Sushi one more star, but the crux of my review is based on that one dish. As my title of my review suggests this place was my last minute choice for dinner. Unfortunately the dish I ordered from Kiseki Sushi sake donuri fell flat.

$18.77 for this much of chicken breast and NO RICE. A piece of chicken breast for $18.77. WTF?!!! (I ordered chicken teriyaki dinner after 10.75% tax is $18.77. Not worth it. Won't go again.

Large portions for a decent price. We got: 1) chicken katsu : fresh out of the kitchen- crispy and hot! 2) miso soup : liked the strong paste flavor 3) lion king : not as much mayonnaise as other places, instead they use more of this sweet teriyaki sauce (a little bit too much in my opinion though, it drowned out the entire sushi roll) 4) tea: didn't taste like anything as it was too diluted Service, however, is mediocre. We were greeted by a sushi chef behind his station ; yelling from across to room telling us to have a seat anywhere instead of a waitress. After taking our order and delivering our dishes, no one came to check on us ie refill water or tea, take away dirty dishes, ask if we needed anything. There were maybe 3 tables including ours in the entire restaurant. We also had to flag someone down specially to get a to go box and the bill.

Sadly they changed their menu which was pretty good I don't have time to give them a chance to go back to what I liked about them. The use to have a great bento option now it's the saddest thing you ever saw.

Ownership changed again along with the menu. Sushi rolls and sashimi were solid though it took 50 minutes to get the sashimi. Definitely come here if you are not crunched for time and don't mind walking up to the front to ask for service. There's only one server to manage ~10 tables, all online orders and the phone.
