"I hate to give this 4/2022 negative review but it's necessary please read it. This is a restaurant in serious trouble, if you read other reviews you can see the themes. First, they are horribly understaffed, and everyone was waiting at least an hour forfood. They have one chef and one service employee working a peak Saturday night shift and they simply cannot keep up with theavalanche of both diners and take out orders. The server was working so hard, I felt bad for her. But one server cannot takeorders, take takeout orders, pack takeout, serve diners, do checks, seat patrons, heat tea, etc. for 15 patrons. Not possible.The restaurant was filled with patrons circling like hungry vultures, waiting an hour plus for 6 pieces of sushi. Everyone EVERYONE was angry, anxious and waiting. Some people had to wait 30 minutes for their check. Second, their menu is out ofdate. It has a sticky note that says things may be 1 2 dollars more. One of our special rolls was advertised at $15, but billedat $19. So it's a guessing game what anything costs because the menu is irrelevant. This is utterly unacceptable. Third, thesushi is simply bad, no way around it. Likely because they are so overwhelmed it sits out on the shelf waiting to be picked uponce prepared and has a chance to get too warm. The sushi was inferior to supermarket sushi, and both my wife and I woke up thenext day with very upset stomachs. We should have gotten Shoprite sushi. The ingredients were poor. The fish was obviously old,the rolls were constructed carelessly, and it made us slightly sick. All in all, the picture we got was of a failing restaurantthat is in serious trouble, and headed for disaster fast. They can't keep up with takeout orders, they can't keep up withdiners, and the quality of their sushi is horrendous. They were working hard, but they need more help and better ingredients. Bygetting more help, they could focus on their food. I wish them the best of luck and hope they succee"

"Very disappointing!!! We have been going to the Sushi Room for about 3 years about every two weeks, so it has been one of our go-to spots. When we arrived this Saturday, we didn 't recognize any of the front-of-the-house staff or the sushi staff and knew something was up. After being greeted by a new waiter, we were seated. We were not given the usual weekly menu additions sheet, a key reason for coming here. When we asked about it, we were told there were no special items this week. We then ordered our usual bottle of wine, and the waiter came back 10 minutes later, telling us that it was out of stock; they gave us a sample of a different bottle, which we didn 't like, and we ordered a different bottle. We placed our order, and they were able to make us a 'sashimi salad ', which has been taken off the menu. We made a selection of another 5 plates, and were told that they were out of the wagyu beef, which we always order. The food itself that we were able to order was still of fair quality, although the waits between courses was much longer than usual. But, without the additional special weekly items, it 's just another sushi joint, albeit a VERY high-priced one. For the price point, one might as well go to Kuru at the Casino. When we asked initially if the restaurant had sold, we were told that there was just 'staff turnover ', but, when we asked a different person, we were told that Sushi Room and Mama Mia next door had both been sold in the past week. So the new iteration is off to a very rocky start. Hopefully, the new owners can right the ship and make the place worthwhile to come back to. As far as the 'noise level ', energetic above translates into far too loud . And we had to ask that the music be turned down so that we could hear each other talk."
