East Japanese - Teaneck

Update: I can't come back! The administration has changed and replaced the menu. The food is terrible and sushi fish is cheap quality. Previously...

Sitting in Sushi Carousel recommend, If you have a few drinks and not in the mood for Saki, try some of their imported Japanese beer!

I live very close so I always go here, they have changed management or owners recently and the restaurant itself got a much needed facelift I think!...

East Japanese Restaurant is a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. They also have other Japanese foods, but I haven't tried yet. The concept of the Sushi conveyor belt is that small portions of different sushi species sprinkle around the conveyor belt, where you can grasp what you want. The plates are encoded at the price. It is a fun concept and you can try out different types of sushi that are the most important stimuli of the type of restaurant. I would say the actual sushi is not the greatest, but it is good and you get a good variety. They serve alcohol which is cheap. The service is good and attentive. Tea cups are filled in a regular interval and the servers are very nice. Overall, East Japanese is a fun place. But they pay something for the novelty in price and freshness.

It is a decent neighborhood sushi restaurant that generally serves low price sushi item in a fast food style 80s novelty conveyor belt system. I don't know that for a fact, but they don't seem to store their fish every day, so they have weekly specialties that squeeze salmon every Wednesday, for example. This means that depending on which day of the week you go, you will find sushi fresher than other days. Depending on what I see, I would sometimes go for more vegetables or shellfish sushi or even go for cooked items. Another factor affecting food quality is how long the piece of fish sits on the belt. Good thing is, they throw out the fish after a certain time, but you could ignorantly find a dish of sushi that is on the edge... so generally looking for discoloration, it is usually a good way to say freshness. You can also order whatever you see directly from the sushi bar, the same price and it usually tastes fresher. If you note how this place works, you have no problem finding this place convenient and pleasant.
