"We went here before a show at the Keswick. We arrived early enough We didn't need to wait to be seated. About an hour later that was not the case for people walking in around 630pm. We asked for one of each menus (normal and all you cam eat). We were tossed two normal menus and away the server went to retrieve our waters. My girlfriend ordered all you can eat, and I got General Tso. The main dish for her came out before her appetizers which was strange. Also, it came out separate from my meal. Both meal were very good! As for the food we loved it. Very big portions. Only complaints was my veggies surrounding my main course was not even warm. Would we go back, surely. The food was worth it. Last add in i only gave the atmosphere 2 stars as I was getting bucked like riding a bull the entire meal as the seats transfer every single movement from the couple on the other side."

"Great price and selection for an all you can eat sushi with appetizers, tempura, sashimi, and ice cream for dessert. We've been coming here for years, and the quality and the service have always stayed consistent. We've referred many friends and family here if they love sushi at an affordable price. Highly recommended."

"This place always hits the spot. Their sushi is always really good, portions are great and their service is fast. Pictured is three of their special rolls and some sashimi, everything is always super clean and tasty. If you're looking to try a lot of things, come with your friends and try the all you can eat. Just make sure you finish your food and not let it go to waste! The close picture is our favorite roll, the Rock n Roll which has mango and tuna. Its super fresh and the mango is ALWAYS sweet! I've never had mango in sushi before but this turned me into a fan, definitely try it out if you're adventurous! (Also their green tea ice cream is legit, try it too )"

"Accurately, I would say it is 3.5 stars. For the last 10 years, I've heard so many people telling me to go try Nagomi. I've been to over 30 different AYCE Sushi spots and buffets, so I have a good idea of what is good or not and so finally, I went to see if the hype was real. Now. Let's get into it. #1 This place needs a facelift. Very boring and depressing decor and ambiance. #2 You're an AYCE, and you charge $30 per person but there is a limit of 25 pieces of sashimi per person? #3 Being that there is a limit on sashimi, I was expecting the quality to be top notch, but it wasn't #4 Overall, the food was good, both from kitchen and sushi bar #5 BUT, as you can see in my photos, the rice to fish ratio in the nigiri was RIDICULOUS! AYCE employees often tell customers who don't eat all the rice on their nigiri to order sashimi instead, but you can't even do that at Nagomi because there is a limit on sashimi #6 Their servers are fairly miserable. If you are working at a restaurant where it is $30/head, you might want to provide better and friendlier service. The service I received is the same type of attitude I receive at a $10 Chinese buffet. #7 Their saving grace. They are still one of the few that have ice cream. So good. #8 Their menu options are very limited to most of the AYCE restaurants in the Tri-state area After all the hype I have been hearing for years, 1 word. Underwhelming. It is a solid spot, don't get me wrong but you know where you can find me for my AYCE Sushi, and it's not in PA."

"I love the servers at this restaurant! It is so welcoming and friendly. My kids love the food here, especially the miso soup, and the servers always make my kids feel welcome. It isn't my favorite sushi, but others in my party really like it, so it might just be me. Because of the way they welcome my kids, though, it is one of our go-to places for family dinners. Bring your appetite, your self, and your kiddos!"

"Went with a friend based on their recommendation. It's a small little place in the cozy town of Glenside, PA but pretty decent overall. I wouldn't mind coming back, it's a good spot. Appetizers: Crispy Calamari (6.5/10) - A little on the oilier side but there wasn't a whole lot so it was ok. The portion size is small. Miso Soup (5/10) - Average at best. Edamame (6/10) - Standard. Sushi: Salmon Nigiri (7/10)- These were good, no complaints. Good as any decent sushi place. Eel (6/10)- These were good but a tad bit saltier than most places. Sashimi (25 piece limit per person): The portion size for Sashimi is small as it is, but these are slightly smaller that the average place so I got all 25 pieces. Salmon (6/10) - Standard but good. Nothing else to add. White Tuna (7.5/10) - These were pretty good. Not plain flavored like most places I've been to. I recommend this one. Dessert: The portion size is small so I got 2. Green Tea Ice Cream (7/10) - Good ice cream, on the sweeter side for green tea ice cream. Strawberry Ice Cream (7.5/10) - I liked this one more, it has a more enjoyable flavor profile."
