Can't believe I haven't written a review for 7 Doors Down yet. I absolutely enjoyed our dinner here the other night for my wife's birthday. I never knew there was a Japanese / Peruvian specific cuisine. From the dishes, to the location, and the staff, just a really great experience. I would definitely come here again! read more

Good Vibes! Customer service is consistent and good; employees answer my questions, help me navigate the menu, and know the menu well enough that I don't really have to look at it (though do to double check ingredients). I order Garlic Soy Cucumbers (very tasty, a colder flavorful more than spicy light snack with a distinct flavor) and Mushroom Ramen (the establishment has a Vegan version which is good; I get the most flavor from the noodles by wrapping the chopsticks then sucking on the noodles, so good, the rest of the ingredients are really tasty together in a bite though the seasonal mushroom has a gentle chewy texture with a good subtle distinct flavor complementing the ramen well). The establishment takes different forms of payments. I don't know if a physical menu option aside from the QR code is available. The interior decor and music (during my visit) are so in tune working thematically well with the establishment's ever present overall theme. read more

I feel so blessed to live within walking distance of this restaurant. My boyfriend and I went to their pop-up back in January - needless to say, we were big fans of most of the menu which brought us back last night. Only things we weren't the biggest fans of during the pop up were the BLT Ramen - overly bacony in our opinion but otherwise it was VERY filling with a great portion and the Papas A La Huancaina which I found to have a flavor I didn't particularly enjoy.. My preference though, order what you know you'd enjoy as we were just ordering to try stuff then. I was not able to get any photos of our takeout but I do have photos from the initial pop up! Last night we ordered the coconut shrimp bao buns, chipotle + sesame wings, Tokyo ramen and the Lomo Saltado. LET ME TELLLL YOUUUU, you cannot go wrong with ANY of these 4 dishes. Out of all 4, our top dish was the Lomo Saltado which was out of this world. Whatever they did to make such a magical dish... I do not care, but I will be ordering very often! They even have this special takeout bowl for ramen that separates the fixins and noodles from the broth which I so greatly appreciated!! My only gripe is that they did not have the bao buns that they offered during the pop up which was some sort of beef if I'm not mistaken. All In all, Chef Lawrence and the team did a phenomenal job with this restaurant - looking forward to frequenting here more often. read more

Visited on 02-05-2023 Overall a wonderful experience and I couldn't find too many faults. Parking can be a little tough on the street but there is a parking garage nearby or there is a small lot next to blue steel. Ambience: A+ this is a great location if you are coming on a date. The decor is really nice and the seating is spacious. Drinks: I had the La Chicha and my girlfriend had the Honey Yuzu Lemonade. The drinks were both really great and I wasn't expecting it! I tried the La Chicha on recommendation from the waitress and I wasn't disappointed, it was fruity as expected but the combination of purple corn and cinnamon gave it a little more complexity and I am not entirely sure how to put it into words. Coconut Shrimp Bao Buns - Delicious! I recommend giving this a try, inhaled this in a few bites... 48 Hour Short Rib Ramen: The broth was very flavorful and the meat was very tender and juicy. I would have preferred my noodles with a little more chew but it was still very good. The mushrooms were a pleasant surprise, they were well cooked and added some nice variety to the dish. The candy shallots also packed a ton of flavor and they did good to not add to much. Milk Tea Panna Cotta- This dessert had a very mild flavor. I did not get a hint of passion fruit in it. Would not recommend this one. Service was amazing, the waitress made some very nice recommendations and she really knew her stuff, thanks for the great recommendations! I believe her name was Alanna by my receipt! read more

Avoid at all costs ! I went there with my fiancé on 22 February when we entered the restaurant. There was a loud and obnoxious customer, causing a ruckus and nothing was done to calm or control her. That was the best part of the restaurant we then ordered wings, which were tasty. However, shortly after eating them, my fiancé felt nauseous. The Ramen came. She ordered the chicken Ramen and I ordered the duck Ramen. I wasn't feeling great myself. We ate a few bites and decided to take the rest to go. My fiancé got violently ill on the way home vomiting , as I entered the house I felt nauseous and also began to vomit and had violent diarrhea obvious food poisoning from this garbage place. Do yourself a favor don't ever go there. There are many other good places to enjoy Ramen . I would give it zero stars if it would be permitted. read more

We came here for an early rainy Saturday dinner. We didn't have reservations but were seated right away. I'd definitely recommend reservations because it was crowded by the time we left. The atmosphere was dark but not too dark. It was very nice and cozy on the inside. We started with the honey yuzu lemonade which was sooooo good and the La chica. For starters, we had the papas La huancaina and the O.G ceviche. The papas did not taste like traditional Peruvian papas La huancaina but still had good flavor. Maybe just a tadddd bit on the salty side. The ceviche was tasty and balanced well. For entrees, we had duck ramen and tonkotsu ramen. The duck ramen was lacking in duck meat but our server was kind enough to bring us out some more. We enjoyed the flavors. The tonkotsu was the better of the two with the broth being tastier and richer. Towards the end of the bowl the broth did become a bit much and felt a bit salty. We also wish the ramen egg was marinated for longer since it didn't taste like a marinated egg, just a soft boiled egg. Overall we enjoyed our time here and will be back! read more

Lovely location with an upscale feel and BYOB. The exposed brick walls, modern decor, and low lighting (not too low could still read the menu) really give a relaxing inviting yet upscale vibe. The service was great and very attentive. I was with a party of 4 and they took our starters and mains together but were served and paced at perfect timing. The food was outstanding. I highly recommend the coconut shrimp boa buns they were perfection. Soft bao bun with extra crispy shrimp. The soy cucumbers were also a great starter. The portions are perfect for getting a few starters to share and have a main and not feel overwhelmed or over stuffed. I can't say enough good things and can't wait to be back. read more

One million times... YES. 7 Doors Down Ramen is a relatively new spot owned by the same folks that own the restaurant... you guessed it... 7 doors down. Incredibly hip and trendy interior, 7 Doors Down Ramen is serving up Japanese and Peruvian fusion. That means you can get ceviche and ramen in the same meal, YUM. Great selection and great food. On Wednesday nights they do a vegetarian pre-fixe menu that I can't wait to try! BYOB. The liquor store and parking garage are right around the corner. Don't sleep on this spot! read more

Wow, this place was such a pleasant surprise! I am not normally a fan of ramen but this might be the only place I'd keep coming back to for ramen. My husband who is the Dave Portnoy of Ramen, also really loved this place!! The starters are also very delicious. The papa hauncainas is a different twist to the normal Peruvian dish but yummy! My husband really loved it because it has an olive kind of taste mixed into the sauce. And my personal fave were the coconut shrimp bao buns! I could probably eat 6 of those alone as my whole meal!!! Service is also exceptional. Can't wait to go back. read more

We came here for dinner right before Christmas. Our general outlook was that the food was okay and while the service was kind, it was sparse. I understand that a lot of places are short staffed but our whole experience took over 2.5 hours. I will say they comped us a drink (all are non alcoholic) so that was appreciated. The food overall left much to be desired. The cucumbers, while typically not an over complicated dish, it lacked flavor. The potatoes were good, but there was a blueberry like tasting chutney that didn't go with the flavor profile. The mushroom ramen was okay. I completely understand it's mushroom, but it would be nice to get some complimentary flavors in the ramen. This is just a personal taste preference but it tasted good overall. In general, our service staff was very nice but the food lacked a bit of excitement. read more

7 doors down is a delightful experience. The highlight of our night was the Salmon Tiradito which was absolutely heavenly. The flavor was absolutely perfect, it had the right of amount of spice, and the mango, salmon, maracuya combination was out of this world. I've never had anything like it and I am very picky with my ceviche since I am from the coast of Peru. The lomo was amazing! The short ribs were unfortunately a little bitter and the sauce was overwhelming the plate and mash potatoes. Service was inmaculate, everyone was really kind and attentive to our needs. Ambiance was great, they had great lighting for a romantinc date, music was a mix of english and spanish 2000's pop that you can vibe to. Very very clean! I will definitely come back, specially to have at least two plates of the Tiradito! read more

#Latergram. #FirstTimerAlert. 7 Doors Down Ramen (Bloomfield, NJ) fo lunch with @jakenrimmer. Highly regarded Ramen spot, time to take a drive into town. Found free parking easily on the Street with a little walk. Two entry doors, the one on the right leads to the open kitchen dining room, the one on the left is the host table and more dining space. Modern decor with a beautiful tin ceiling. Ordered the Duck Ramen (roasted chicken broth | miso tare | chili oil | duck confit | caramelized onion | corn | poached egg | scallion) and the Shrimp Ceviche (cucumber | jalapeno | charred corn | coconut leche de tigre | ají amarillo | cilantro). Enjoyed a beverage - La Chicha (peruvian purple corn | pineapple | lime | cinnamon). BYOB by the way. Love that. Food knocked it out of the park. Flavorful. Creative. Unique. Filing. Priced right. Staff was attentive and considerate. Highly recommend it, Check it Out! #MajorLeagueGrubbin #NomNomNom read more

Duck Dynasty Dumplings $12 - Ok. Dumpling wrapper excellent , filling very dry and again off-putting taste. I like duck, but I should have went with the regular pork mix. Barely any sauce as well to dip. Signature Tonkatsu Ramen $20 - Good! Best part was the egg! I've had better ramen elsewhere. For $20 I expected more flavor and fillings. You can definitely customize and add, but at this price point I would rather have had base start at $24 and include wood ears, more veggies, bamboo, etc. Mine was basically the fat part of pork slices with 20% meat, one veggie, whole egg (which definitely was excellent), and a good broth. Thin ramen on this one, but again I've had much better broth, noodles and fillings. Burnt Honey Calamansi Tea $8- very good for about 12-14oz, but expensive. I understand Calamansi is not typical here in north Jersey and I'm certain they pay higher pricing wholesale, but it wasn't that superb to pay $8 for again. I really teetered with this review for days as I wanted to give 4 stars for local support and the chef's passion, but I simply won't pretend we loved this. Might try 10 for $10 dumpling Thursday with the pork filling one day.

HOWEVER, this Ghost kitchen can accommodate Private small parties with reservation. You will be served by the chef and be able to see him first hand prepping your order. Chef has an amazing personality, and gives you and your party enough space to engage with eachother. It's a unique, and intimate experience. Perfect for 2 people, and can accommodate more if you reserve! Also! There's a no tip policy which is UNHEARD OF! Food: We had the honor of dining in so this experience gave us the freshest and quickly served dishes! Starting with the trusty old Edamame that was delicious and finished with his signature drama oil and furikake! Chicken Karaage Bao: The crunch and juiciness of the chicken thigh on this bao bun is worth the buy, ESPECIALLY if you dine in. You won't get em anymore fresh than that and the scallions just give it a beautiful freshness. Original Miso Spicy Ramen: So I'll be honest here. I'm someone who has gone to all the big name ramen spots in the city and i have always left the broth. I prefer lighter broth. This Miso Ramen, I sipped the last drop of broth. The flavor, salt levels were great and the combination of pork and chicken broth give it a lighter feel but retains a just right amout of richness for my taste! If you're someone who loves a hearty broth. I STRONGLY recommend the Signature Tonkatsu Ramen! It's got the exact richness that Ramen lovers crave in a bowl! The noodles on both of them, slurp worthy and cooked to perfection Overall Service: It's an amazing meal for anytime of day, and with its doordash, uber eats available it's quite accessible for ordering! Protip*Best rates are available through his website* Sitting in was really nice (Don't forget you have to request a time to eat in) service was quick, conversation was great and the food was incredible! Will absolutely do that again!

The other side of the restaurant had these big white booths which were pretty cool. I ordered the Spicy Scallop Roll and Sexy Girl Roll for myself. We all ordered on the provided menu sheet and were able to check off the items we each wanted. Because we got there so early, the food came out fast. I LOVED my scallop roll and plant to come back here just for that. Aozara is located on Bloomfield Ave right across from the Wellmont. I'll be honest, I go to the Wellmont for shows at least once a month and had never been here before but I plan to come back now that I know the food and service are good. It's BYOB - so make sure to bring your fave wine with you!

Nothing really stood out to me as far as flavor or noodle texture. The curry was almost all just sauce over rice so I would pass on this dish next time. Loved the fried chicken though. Crunchy non the outside and super juicy on the inside. The dipping sauce had a slight kick to it but was manageable. The gyoza was average as well. Overall, a pleasant experience. The inside is spacious and clean. Staff are friendly and service was fast.

As far as the food goes, my husband and I both agree that it's good and worthy of a re-visit in the future however, it wasn't blow your socks off! I got the chicken ramen and I literally got two pieces of chicken in my ramen....i was definitely expecting more than that. My husband got the chicken chashu and he said it was a solid option. I want to be so clear that this five star review is based off of our fantastic server, Yosef. He was so friendly, so personable and an overall pleasant worker! He made conversation with us and made sure we had everything we needed to have the best experience. Nowadays, people are so unfriendly and just there to collect a check. JINYA, you are very lucky to have a worker of this nature! Thank you for making our dinner a great experience. We will gladly be back in the future to try another dish and hopefully get the same wonderful customer service.

I wouldn't hold it against you if you eyed me with suspicion when I said:…read more "It's in a strip mall, next to an Applebee's but... it's great!" "It's my new favorite ramen joint. My last favorite was in a food court inside of a mall!" "It feels like it's the next evolution in the Tommy's Tavern-Tio Taco's takeover of high-quality spots all across our great state!" (But each statement is said, and meant, with sincerity.) It's large (high ceilings adding to the 'wow factor'). It has a great look and vibe. The entire staff are profusely positive. As for the ramen... the broth was chock-a-block with flavor and veggies and noodles and a whole array of goodies (black oil, crispy garlic nubs, creamy tofu, you name it). The Mrs. (who is the real connoisseur when it comes to ramen, I'm just a wannabe) thought the portion was a bit on the 'wimpy' side (for the price) but I was content. (We arrived at the tail-end of happy hour, so maybe I was a bit more forgiving since the bill wasn't as bad as it could've-would've been.)
