Oyako Tso’s – Sushi and Hibachi
Freehold, NJ – OPEN 11 AM to 10 PM
If you asked me two years ago if I wanted to go out for sushi, I would have politely responded with a “HELL NO”.. Since then however, my palette has expanded in so many ways and sushi is one of the many reasons I am so happy It did. Oyako Tso’s doubles as a sushi bar and hibachi grill where you can enjoy one or the other, or both. There of course are many grills with hibachi chefs cooking in front of you as you order, and there is also the main restaurant area where you can order from the extensive sushi menu, or even hibachi. However, the sushi is what they pride themselves in with over twenty specialty rolls to order. There are so many rolls to choose from, there is something there to order for even the pickiest sushi eaters. The best part is, THE SUSHI IS ALWAYS HALF OFF!!
If you have a chance to visit Oyako Tso’s, which I highly recommend you do, you’ll see how they have their original prices crossed off next to the half off price. And these prices are amazing. You may be thinking that the price is a reflection of how the sushi tastes but I can assure you, I would have no problem paying full price for this sushi because It truly is one of the best sushi spots I have been to. Freehold is a bit of a hike from Rutgers but It is 100% worth the drive and I hope you have the opportunity to taste the experience.
Wait times may very from day to day in both the dining area and the hibachi area. The dining area is not very large and you may wait a while especially on the weekends. However, the service is always great and the environment is vibrant and fun. And for those who like to step outside of their comfort zone with flavors and sushi, you will definitely have the opportunity here at Oyako Tso’s.
HELPFUL TIP #1: BYOB!!!! bring your favorite wine and pair It with your favorite sushi rolls. (your dinner is sounding cheaper by the minute isn’t It?)
P.S. great spot for a first, second, or any date after that 🙂 enjoy !
