Reviews
What truly makes this place special, though, are the owners. They are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. They make you feel at home every single time you visit. It’s not just a restaurant — it’s a place where you create memories.
After all these years, they continue to maintain the same high standards in both flavor and service. If you’re looking for amazing sushi, a cozy atmosphere, and heartfelt hospitality, this is the place.
Highly recommended.
For an All You Can Eat spot, the quality of the fish is incredibly fresh especially the salmon! We had a variety of nigiri, rolls, and even their katsu, and everything was delicious.
The pricing is very reasonable: $30 if you pay in cash and $35 for card payments. Given the portion sizes and the freshness of the food, it’s a total steal. The atmosphere is cozy and the service was attentive throughout our meal.
If you’re looking for a place to satisfy your sushi cravings without breaking the bank, this is it. Definitely coming back!
We walked in excited (and a little curious to see what she’d think), and wow. This place absolutely delivered. She was hesitant to try the hand rolls and regular rolls at first, but after a few bites, she was hooked. Safe to say her palate has officially been upgraded!
If you’re questioning whether $30 for all-you-can-eat sushi isn’t worth it, think again. Everything was incredibly fresh. The tempura special rolls came out perfectly hot and crispy, the fish tasted insanely fresh with no weird aftertaste or overly fishy flavor, and the presentation was absolutely beautiful.
What really surprised us was the chicken teriyaki appetizer. At other all-you-can-eat spots, it’s usually mediocre at best, but here, it was genuinely amazing. Even if you’re not a huge sushi fan, the non-sushi appetizers (especially the chicken teriyaki) make it completely worth going with friends who want to indulge.
On top of the incredible food, we were welcomed with warm smiles and greetings from the owner, which made the experience even better.
10/10 from all of us. This is officially our new favorite spot, and it even exceeded our old favorite. We’ll definitely be back!
The service was quick, and the staff was very nice and attentive. What really stole it for me though? They keep a bottle of spicy mayo right on the table — no need to keep asking because I loveee spicy mayo .
Overall, such a great experience. My friends and I came here for Thanksgiving because we didn’t want turkey, and we’re so glad we did. We loved it and would definitely come back!
The service is outstanding, friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. On top of that, the atmosphere is amazing, making it a perfect place for both casual dining and special occasions.
If you love sushi, Picnic Sushi is a must‑visit. I can’t recommend it enough.BYOB
My family and I have been loyal customers of Picnic in Fort Lee for over 14 years, visiting multiple times a week since my daughter was in elementary school. We have always considered it a neighborhood gem… until our most recent visit, which was extremely disappointing and concerning.
We visited with a small group that included my daughter’s friend and her sister, who has a severe allergy to pork. She ordered a sushi platter and clearly requested no pork. When the platter arrived, she took a few bites and immediately felt nauseous and dizzy. She stopped eating, inspected the remaining pieces, and noticed something that didn’t look right. When we asked the server, he confirmed the dish did contain pork, apologized, and admitted a mistake was made.
Within minutes, she became physically ill and began vomiting once we left. The rest of our plans for the day had to be cancelled so she could go home, medicate, and recover. Anyone with food allergies knows how dangerous this could have been.
Naturally, we expected the dish to be removed from the bill. Shockingly, it was NOT. When we brought it to their attention, the response was dismissive and rude. The owner, who has always greeted us warmly for years, appeared irritated that the item needed to be removed, instead of showing concern for the guest who had a reaction due to their negligence. Not once did anyone check to see if she was okay or offer any support.
This left us questioning how many times we may have eaten food here believing it was one thing, when it may have been something else. That is a serious trust issue, especially for customers with dietary restrictions or allergies.
Food mistakes happen, but how a restaurant handles them defines its integrity, safety standards, and respect for those who dine there. The lack of accountability and compassion shown was extremely disappointing.
As much as it pains me to say, after 14 years of loyalty, we will not be returning. I cannot recommend Picnic to anyone with food allergies or anyone who expects proper care when a restaurant makes a mistake. When the owner sets this type of example, it reflects on the entire staff.
A customer’s well being should never feel “inconvenient.”
Update: they were very respectful and also considerate and accommodating to my child who is non-verbal and neurodivergent
