I would like to express my gratitude for the excellent catered food and service Bistro 1051provided for my Fathers repass. I asked Michael for a full service offsite event for 120 people and he and his team provided that. The food was above and beyond and Jamie and Kristin could not have been more efficient and friendly and Bistro 1051 exceeded my expectations. Thank you Michael for your attention to details and professional service. Ed Komoroski read more

I came to Bistro 1051 with a large group for dinner. They accommodated us easily and everyone easily found what they wanted on the menu. I think this is the first place with mostly Italian food on the menu that also has a pretty extensive sushi menu. They had a skirt steak special that was calling my name. I'm a sucker for chimichurri so when I saw it was included I was sold. The steak was SO tender and flavorful and the chimichurri was perfectly herby and acidic. It came with mashed potatoes and garlic which were also very good. We shared the broccoli rabe and sausage flatbread and the margarita flatbread which were both delicious. We ordered fried Oreos for dessert and they came out warm and crisp. I hate when they are soggy and these were perfect. Our waitress was attentive without being overbearing and very easy to talk to and ask questions. We enjoyed talking to her and getting her opinion of various dishes. read more

Convenient neighborhood strip mall eatery for family and group gatherings as the menu is massive and has enough options to satisfy the pickiest diner. Pleasant service with staff that know the menu well. Portions are healthy to the point of each dish being large enough to serve more than one person "en famiglia." Side dishes are the size of mains one might expect in any other restaurant. This is great for my family who could take their eating on the road and go pro. read more

Valet and service was fine and the place looks promising. However, the food is half my dish was cold and so salty.

1. The waiting time to get the order 1hour 30 minutes, ridiculous. 2. The quality of food average 3. The tip is automatic above 20% 4. We never coming back. read more

We went out for Mother's Day expecting a nice family dinner and left extremely disappointed. We waited over 1.5 to 2 hours just to receive appetizers. When we asked if our entrees would take much longer, we were told yes, while another table that had arrived before us still had not received their food either. At that point, we asked for the check for the appetizers and drinks so we could leave, but the staff refused to bring it. The owner kept assuring us the food would be out in "5 minutes," yet another 30 minutes passed before plates started coming out one at a time. To make matters worse, the quality of the food was mediocre at best. We paid expecting outstanding food and service and received neither. The kids ordered dessert and even found a hair in it. When we brought it up, the owner simply said they "outsource" the desserts instead of taking responsibility. The owner also told us that waiting two hours for appetizers was acceptable because it was a holiday, which is not an excuse for such poor service and organization. Despite all of this, a 22% gratuity was automatically added to the bill. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences we've had. Poor service, terrible wait times, mediocre food, lack of accountability, and being forced to pay gratuity after such an experience ensures we will never return. read more

My last visit was in 2010! I chose a revisit with my sister and it did not disappoint. Service was good and food was excellent. There are enough choices, including their sushi menu. We had edamame, eggplant tower, prosciutto & cheese flatbread, and crab/avocado tower- all very good. BYOB and if you forget your bottle, there is a nice wine/liquor store within the same parking lot. A good stop in Clark. read more

We were there mother's day and couldn't ask for a better day. Food and service was excellent. I usually hate going out on mother's day because of the crowds and being rushed. This time changed my mind. read more

Good food, good prices nice environment, BYOB bring a good bottle of wine. Owners are always there to make sure customers are happy

I searched high and low for a restaurant with reasonable prices to host a group of 20 and I found it in Bistro 1051! We had enough space and privacy, the servers were great, the food was delicious, portions were large and the menu was varied. Highly recommend, esp. for anyone dining with a large group! read more

I had my daughter's baby shower here today and it could not have been any better. The food was fantastic. The service was top-notch. Everything from the day I booked it up to today was seamless. Can't wait to go back for dinner. Thank you for taking such good care of us all today. We will be back! read more

Terrible experience waited 3 hrs for the food when the food came out food was cold hair was in the food never going back

If i could give it zero stars i would but it doesn't allow me too...Had a terrible experience on Mothers Day...waited 2hrs for apps another almost 2hrs for our entrees the food was terrible it was disgusting it came out cold over cooked dry the chicken tasted like it was reheated tried to charge me 22% gratuity for barely any service. All the owner would say is its Mother's Day...ive been to plenty of restaurants on bigger holidays and got exceptional service and food...he couldn't take accountability of his lack of management. Last time ill be dining at that place read more

I would give 10 stars if I could. Took my son and his girlfriend for dinner tonight. Greeted by smiles from the whole staff when we walked in, it was very busy at 5:30 yet we got smiles from everyone and that says ALOT! Patrons notice things like that about restaurant staff, how you are greeted when you walk in is a big deal and this staff crushed it! Very impressive!! We haven't been there in a good few years and I have to say their food is still outstanding! I made a reservation which I highly recommend as that place gets packed! Our server Kyle was so nice, on his game and checked on us often even though he was crazy busy he never forgot about us or made us wait. He's very good at his job. We had fried calamari with marinara which was absolutely delicious! Just enough breading without going over, fried perfectly, serving size was plenty for our table of 3. Then onto the Kamikaze rolls..... They have the best sushi I've ever had, order the Kamikaze rolls you can't get those anywhere else and they're just perfection. Entree was the Lobster Ravioli... I was so full from the Calamari and Sushi I had to bring most of my entree home which is ok because the Lobster Ravioli was also great... We ordered desert to go as we were all full.. I ordered the Lemon Mascarpone cake .... I don't know if they make it there fresh or have it flown in lol and I don't care I couldn't believe how light and fresh it was. The BEST Lemon Mascarpone cake I've ever had, Period! Great birthday dinner for my son. 1051 Bistro is absolutely fantastic Thank you so much for giving us a great night! read more

I've came to Bistro 1051 three times and the last time wasn't the best. The food was just not up to par. We ordered the fantastic roll and it was decent but i couldn't really taste what fish was in it. I used to love this spot but recently, it hasn't been the best. It has always had great vibes but at the end of the day, the food matters the most to me. read more

4 stars for lunch, 3 for dinner. Lovely spot for lunch in Clark, NJ with a nice enough atmosphere for a business meeting or outing with friends. We ordered the flounder oreganata, which was lemony, fresh and had very tasty bread crumbs. Also ordered was the grilled chicken salad. The chicken was a high quality and very tasty. Both portions were generous and the waitress was lovely. I enjoyed lunch so much we returned for dinner. The seafood pasta was enjoyed, as was the veal saltimboca (my family wasn't as picky as I) but the stuffed shrimp was more breading than crab meat filling and the shrimp had an iodine taste. The waitress also kept coming over and interrupting people while they were chatting, which made the evening less enjoyable than it could've been. This didn't happen at lunch so it was waitress specific. All in all, I'll return for lunch and would happily have the flounder or salad but I'd skip the shrimp. read more

Great food & staff has always been extremely welcoming & respectful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant

We've been here about 15 times. I like that there are myriad options for meals here. If I'm craving sushi but my wife wants an Italian-inspired salad, we're both happy with what's on the menu here @1051. Michael the owner is always visible & circulating around the restaurant. You can tell he cares about his place & the customers. It does get very loud in here as the acoustics appear to be amplified off the walls or glass ceiling. The food was very good & fresh. Some updating is needed with the tables as they are showing signs of excessive wear & there needs to be more care in making sure that the plates & utensils are up to Michael's level of cleanliness expectations. Jaclyn our waitress was responsive & courteous without being pushy. Everything food wise was as ordered. Always parking available in the lot. Love that it's still BYOB. This place always brings back memories of the Rice Bowl of my youth We'll be back because there's always something new I want to try here. read more

UPDATE: We spoke to the owner, Mike, who couldn't have been nicer. He offered to make it right by way of a gift card, refund, etc. The food and is always good there so this was an anomaly. We will be back! so disappointed- we usual enjoy the food from there. They forgot the order of rice (this was a delivery) pan fried dumplings were tasteless and soggy, spider roll was falling apart and lacked flavor. The tiramisu was small for the price. The sashimi platter was good, as usual. $110 for this! read more

The service was great. People were very nice but the food was bad. We had chicken parmigiana, sea food on pasta and pappardelle bolognese. Sauce very bland, calamari like rubber and the chicken dried out. The portions were immense but if it ain't good what's the sense? read more

We had the hanger steak and crab ravioli and both were excellent. Always a pleasant ecperience.

Nice, cozy atmosphere with ample seating. BYOB. Cool atrium room, also. Delicious food- both Italian and Sushi. Great stuffed mushrooms and awesome seafood linguini. Very friendly staff and quick service. Highly recommend. read more

Haven't been back in weeks. The food does not compare with what good Japanese fare should be; fish was edible (I didn't get sick) but not fresh. Freshness is an almost inviolable standard for a Japanese restaurant and this place failed. So many other good choices for sushi; not here. read more

Food is delicious. It's a very popular local restaurant. If you go at peak hrs, expect to wait. Wait to be seated, wait to be served, wait for food, wait to pay bill. So, because food never disappoints, and the staff are very nice...we either go for lunch or have an early dinner. I Recommend you make a reservation. read more

Very good food , excellent service and ambiance, highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Mike ! read more

Restaurant is decorated very nicely. We were immediately seated. (We did have reservations). Our waitress was very nice and made great recommendations. We started with the grilled octopus which was delicious. Calamari was tender but crispy. Great flavor. Long hots with potatoes was awesome. Sushi roll ( Happy Roll). What a great combination (tuna, eel, avocado and banana) like a flavor explosion. Dinner consisted of Filet Mignon. Cooked perfectly. Grilled pork chop Giambotta. Delicious just slightly over cooked to my liking. And a Parmesan encrusted pork chop. Karyn's veal chop parmigiana!! Fantastic!! We experienced a little issue with one order( no need to discuss it) because it was rectified immediately. Great service. Desserts ( I think we tried them all) lol.. they were delicious also. Definitely will go back for the great food !! read more

Great meal here recently! We went with a group of 10, had a reservation and seated timely. Service was ok. They are byob and liquor store in same parking lot. I had stuffed chicken parm (a special) which was cooked and seasoned well. A lot of people also enjoyed their seafoood options read more

I don't see how anybody thinks this place is good. Every time I order I have an issue. Penny vodka was just pasta with watered-down sauce which had no taste. There's no pancetta, no peas and it cost $19.99. I wouldn't recommend and I won't order here again. read more

Hadn't been here in a while but definitely a great spot for dinner if you're celebrating with family. Food was delicious. Service was a bit slow but overall was a good meal. Pretty large menu and wide variety, so there's something for everyone! read more

Waited over 45 minutes for food that was completely disappointing. The seafood linguini tasted like margarine, and the veal bistro had no flavor at all. When I brought it up, the owner, Mike, was incredibly rude, spoke over me, and told me not to come back if I didn't like it. Overpriced, bland food and awful service -- I won't be returning. read more

We went to your establishment tonight for the first time for an ugly sweater get-together for family and friends. We had an amazing time. The food was delicious and the service was great.

We were a party of four on a Saturday. We had booked a table for lunch but there seemed to be several available tables. I like the ambiance there and it's easy to park which is a big plus. Our waitress had forgotten about us so it took some time before we could order. She must have been new. We ordered four meals, a plate of potatoes and an iced coffee. I had ordered the Clark Bowl with crab and brown rice. I must say it was excellent! She forgot about the coffee and we ended up leaving without it. If it hadn't been for the service on this day I would have given five stars. read more

Did my daughter's Sweet 16 here. Mike is one of the best hosts ever - very accommodating and helpful throughout our planning. Amazing food, extraordinary servers and a great party place. Has a smart TV where we played our daughter's pics and has a great sound system too. The party was a super duper hit with our 35 guests. Enough space to walk around. read more

I've been here twice and ate outside both times. The food is delicious and the portions are huge. The menu is very expansive. They have a variety of Italian and seafood dishes plus sushi. All sushi and seafood dishes have always been fresh. The sushi is pretty good considering this isn't a sushi restaurant. The service was excellent both times. My favorite entrée was a fall special. It had large scallops cooked to perfection over butternut squash risotto. I ate this meal over a year ago, and I still think about it. The restaurant is a byob, so don't forget your wine! read more

Just getting around to write a review now we were here a couple weeks ago. It was a bustling Saturday night lots of Christmas parties all day. We were there with a group of eight people. All of our dinners came out hot and delicious. All of the appetizers were wonderful, even though they were super crowded one would've advice. The glass room gets very loud when it's crowded to the point you have to scream to talk across the table. They definitely need to put some soundproofing.! read more

Came here for my birthday celebration. Plenty of parking restaurant is located in a strip mall, very nice decorated place. For being a Monday they were pretty busy. It did take some time for us to put in our order, however after we did service was pretty smooth. We started with a couple appetizers all were very good. We all had different entrees, each of us were pretty happy with our choices. Two of my sons had the chicken Frances they said it was good just wish it wasn't so lemony. Finished off with some fried Oreos and bread pudding! Both were fantastic! Will definitely be back! read more
