A Decade of Love on a Plate: A Local Favorite That Punches Above Its Weight…read more This place is the definition of a neighborhood gem--the kind you almost want to keep secret, yet can't stop yourself from praising. Cheap and cheerful on the surface, it punches way above its weight class, delivering inventive, clean, Asian-inspired food that's masterfully cooked by clearly skilled hands--and made with real love. I've been coming back year after year for most of this restaurant's 10-year lifespan, and that consistency is no accident. Every dish tastes intentional, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying, with a clear goal: to feed people love on a plate. It's a super veggie/vegan friendly that easily wins over even my "meat and potatoes" husband--who happily cleans his plate every time. In an era where genuine hospitality feels increasingly rare, Perry single-handedly restored my faith that quality service is not extinct. Warm, attentive, and authentically kind, Perry makes every guest feel seen, welcome, and cared for--without pretense or attitude. This is food that nourishes, service that uplifts, and a place that keeps you coming back not just for the flavors, but for how it makes you feel. A true neighborhood treasure.

Mediocre food and very slow service!…read more This place was a disappointment for what I hoped from a highly rated ramen place in the area. The service was quite slow, almost waited 1 hour for entrees to be brought to the table. It's a small place with limited staff working everything. The food was fairly basic. The fried rice seemed to be bland and below par despite ordering the spicy version. My friend who ordered the ramen liked the soup but the meat was not fully cooked and felt chewy.

My second time here and a first for my friends We started with the crudo and the whipped ricotta and the carpaccio for me the whipped ricotta was amazing with the date syrup and the olive oil and the carrots gave it a perfect crunch I hope they never change it I had the Lumache omg what can I say but it was simply amazing so delicious my friend had the Mafaldine another amazing dish it had a smoky taste to it that was so yummy and my other friend had the special dish of the day which was the black bass fish she loved it We also tried the tiramisu which was a little dry for my taste but we also tried the Lemon Olive Oil Cake which in my opinion should be called Limoncello Cake because it has a very profound taste of lemon which reminds me of limoncello lol it was super moist and delicious a must try! Definitely will be coming back!

The scallion pancake was a bit small but it was super delicious. The chicken katsu had an interesting tangy flavor and was nice and crispy. Service (4/5): Top notch service with super friendly staff.

Only issue we had was we were asked if we wanted a bread refill for the Whipped Ricotta and we didn't know it's cost $5 which surprised us a bit on the check. Ambiance (5/5): Nice interior ambiance and super well designed restaurant. We walked by many times and got drawn by the beautiful interior which is why we came. Classy and nice vibe.

I got the Sushi & Handroll Course and it was incredible and worth it. I will be returning to have this again. The first course: Hamachi Ceviche. Delicious and light. The second course: 9 piece assorted sushi. This came with 3 seared pieces which melted in my mouth. The 6 other pieces each had the right seasoning or added compliment to make it a delicious bite. The third course: 2 hand rolls of your choice. I liked this because you can eat 2 hand rolls fast enough that the seaweed doesn't get too soggy. Since I had so much raw fish in the first 2 courses, I decided to get the coconut shrimp tempura and miso blacked cod. Highly recommend both. Everyone else at my table got the 4 handroll set. I wouldn't recommend this, because by the time you get to handroll #3-4, the seaweed is completely soggy and makes the experience end on a bad note. I wish they would consider separating the seaweed and rice with plastic like they do at other handroll spots or Hmart lol. Regardless, a great dining experience and I will definitely return to DomoDomo for the sushi and handroll course!

Overall: 4 stars…read more Dined in at the Jersey City location for the first time and I was quite thrilled by the comforting seating and attentive service. The food is pricey but also higher quality than most of what you can find in Jersey City so its competitive in that sense. (Hamachi Appetizer: A) - I love the bold flavors across many dimensions that encapsulate the yellowtail with flavor. Its a colorful and bright way to start a meal. (Nigiri Course: D) - Nine pieces of sushi, most of them uniquely flavored with fun. I think at this price point, I wished that the color of the fish looked more bright and glistening -- the salmon and tuna are a bit washed in color, although some of their white fish is glistening. The flavor combinations are theoretically interesting but a lot of them are a bit too subtle to taste well. (Wagyu Handroll: F) - The wagyu is nice quality with a delicious richness that melts into that soothing rice. It theoretically pairs well with the truffle pate and the high quality uni, but unfortunately the proportions were quite off so they were hard to taste in harmony. (Black Cod Handroll: A) - I love this concept of taking miso black cod and making it into a petite handroll size. Its warm and comforting and oozing with that saline forward flavor that I was looking forward to.

From the moment we walked in, the owner personally seated us and ended up cooking our food himself. He has a quirky, memorable personality that adds to the charm of the whole experience. It's the kind of place where you can tell the food is made with intention rather than being rushed out of a big commercial kitchen. The dishes were packed with flavor and tasted very authentic. You can really tell the ingredients and spices are balanced the way Thai food should be -- bold, savory, a little spicy, and deeply satisfying. Everything we ordered had great texture and presentation as well. Overall, it was a unique dining experience with authentic flavors and a memorable host. If you're looking for a polished corporate restaurant this isn't it -- but if you want something personal, quirky, and genuinely delicious, Prince & I is absolutely worth visiting. Would definitely come back!!

The food was delicious, and the drinks were generously sized and well worth it. For two people with drinks, the pricing was actually pretty reasonable for the quality and portions you get. Bill came out to $100. I prefer the Waygu bun burgers, the pitcher of rum, my friend got the wings and edamame. One thing to keep in mind: if you go during peak hours, expect a bit of a wait since it gets pretty packed. I'd recommend going during a less busy time if you want to avoid that. Overall, easy 5/5 for me. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

First, it's great that there's parking. It's always instant plus points for any place that has parking! Now, onto the food. I had the Spicy Pork Lunch Set, my husband had the Bossam Lunch Set, MIL had the Bulgogi Lunch Set, and FIL had the Bulgogi Perilla Pasta. Everything was great and honestly, a super great price for the amount of food you get. My set came with pork, rice, soup, and three banchans - japchae, cucumber salad, and fried tofu. The food was good, the only issue being the spicy pork wasn't spicy enough! But otherwise, it was very good! For dessert, we had the injolmi tart and the panna cotta. They even put a candle in it because I had marked that it was a birthday on our reservation.

WOW, did our opinions change! We ordered several dishes to share including the Vegan Summer Roll, Hokkaido Scallop Crudo, Chilean Sea Bass Chả Cá, Crispy Eggplant, Crab Garlic Noodles and Viet Cajun Prawns. The husbands also ordered the Hanoi Gimlet and added gin which we brought. The Summer Rolls were crisp, fresh and flavorful. The Eggplant was rich - bursting with flavor and had a delicate tempura batter. The Crudo was creamy yet delicate and very pretty. The Chilean Sea Bass was cooked to perfection. The Crab Garlic Noodles Stole the show with intense flavor and sooooo much crab meat with a caviar surprise! The only dish that fell a little short were the Prawns. The flavor was delicious but the prawns were very small and not very many. We absolutely will return to this delicious BYOB.

Just for the record - I am basing my review on take out, not going to the restaurant to sit down…read moreand eat. I want to love this place. I want to give this place a stellar review - but alas, with the items that I have gotten, I cannot. I've ordered from Dumpling Dojo a few times and have gotten different things each time. Their menu is filled with delicious-sounding entrees that have a unique spin, different from typical Chinese places. In addition, all the food is definitely made fresh using real ingredients. So what's the problem? Well...they do not season some of their food items properly - specifically, the sides / veggie entrees. The best thing about typical Chinese food restaurants is the preparation and sauce that goes along with the food - and as someone who does not cook their own Chinese food, I look forward to the sticky-sweet, savory flavors that Chinese-American food is associated with. I find that Dumpling Dojo lacks that. On the plus side, their General Tso's chicken is some of the best I've ever had - and their dumplings are solid. Not amazing, but solid (although I liked them better crisped up in the air fryer the next day). But the other things I've had just simply lacked flavor. For example, I ordered their veggie fried rice and found it incredibly bland and mushy. It was great heated up and doctored, but I want that experience out of the gate. I also ordered their lomein veggie bowl - man, what a disappointment! Basically, I received a container of steamed vegetables and boiled noodles - no sauce or anything. Again, if I put my own spin on it, it would be fine - but when I order out, I don't want to season my own food. It should be prepared as it. Also, I had the short rib buns and they were ok. The sweet potato fry topper was really stale and stiff, and the coleslaw seemed droopy and old - but it was fine. The delivery has also always come very quick, which is a plus as well. However, I don't want to order from a place where the food is hit-and-miss.
