Review -
Try the Angry Dragon Roll. It's great!
I may be overly-excited, but Illuzion has certainly proved to be among the best Japanese dining experiences one will have. Akamiso soup is definitely not as salty as all other bowls served in Hoboken. And the salmon did not taste like rubber, at all. It was soft and melt-in-your-mouth delicious!
Tom, our waiter, was sweet and friendly. He will be asked about time and time, again.
Alas, the unfortunate news comes. My guest and I tried the Tempura Ice-cream dessert and found the outer a little too thick! Thin out the shell a bit, please!
Thanks for a divine two-hours, Illuzion. I cannot wait to visit on my birthday evening with a large group of friends!

Review - Not the best sushi in Hoboken, but one of the best. The non-sushi items were very good, and beautifully presented. Atmosphere was very cool and hip with glass tiles, etc., but was a little on the cold side.
definitely worth checking out.

Review - Stopped by before Christmas as a treat with some friends... We hit before it was actually dinner time so the service was beyond comparison. It was fabulous... some of the best Sushi to be had without going to the city. Some of the best seaweed salad I've ever tasted, and the banana tempura was to die for... The decor is wonderfully modern leading the whole restaurant to have a cool asian fusion look.

Review - Best sushi in Hoboken and at least as good as in the city. We ordered a few other items which were all very good and creative. Great service.

Review - I gave this place two chances, because of the reviews posted here. Although it may be presented very nicely, I found both the sushi and prepared dishes to be just plain fair. The sushi was very cold and tough.. I'm used to tender room temperature sushi. The beef negamaki was tasteless, we had to douse it in soy sauce. The atmosphere is very nice though, as is the service, but the food leaves something to be desired.

Review - Having eaten at Sushi House and Sushi Lounge, I can see no reason to go to or order from this place. The miso, the sushi - all bland. Hopefully they read kannekt.com.

Review - Not overly impressed with the sushi here. Mediocre at best, although my friend thought more highly of it. Thought the prices were a bit steep (there is a minimum). The decor is ok but seems like they're really trying hard to be trendy and it doesn't come off as a very warm, comfortable place.

Review - This is the best sushi in Hoboken by far. The helter skelter roll rocks and the presentation of everything was awesome not to mention the very attentive service.

Review - The decor of this new trendy sushi house is an omage to nature: wood and stone walls, faux fire background, metal lighting...perhaps more attention should be paid to the less than spectacular sushi. The sushi, although presented ornately, was bland to say the most. The special rolls on the menu is a vain attempt to vary from other sushi restaurants in town, however the rolls are larger than a mouthful and often fall apart. The wasabi and ginger had to be requested and was not fresh.

Review - This place has by far the best japanese food in Hoboken. The restaurant's decor gives a very relaxing feeling and the chef is a food artist. I ordered the cod and there were no words for it. It melted in my mouth and tasted very buttery. I can't get enough of this restaurant.
