I love temaki! We started with shishito peppers with a smoked honey miso. I was curious to see how they did vegetarian options, so I went with five plant-based temaki. I'm hard-pressed to pick a favorite; each one was so delicious! -- avocado "toast" -- cucumber black sesame -- tofu chimichurri -- sweet potato tempura -- maitake truffle Our waiter was so nice and welcoming. She checked in on us and answered questions that we had about the menu. That kind of genuineness and hospitality always makes the dine-in experience a notch above. I hope to return again soon. The eatery is close to the Welmont, so I made a mental note to remember it next time I'm seeing a concert or show. Nami Nori in Montclair is highly recommended!

The interior is very minimalistic and modern, although the tables were a bit close together for my liking. We both ordered the signature temaki set and had the mushroom dip to start. The dip came with only a couple chips, but fortunately, our waiter brought out a refill for us. The dip was surprisingly good and I would get it again! Unlike other places, the handrolls are semi-DIY as you put the rice and toppings onto the seaweed itself. As a slow eater, I've found that the seaweed usually gets soggy at other places by the time I get to the last couple pieces, so this was a fun alternative! For dessert, we ordered the matcha basque cheesecake, which had a strong matcha taste, and the cookies, which I could have lived without.

It's always a little sad to say goodbye to a place that meant more than just good food. Thank you…read morefor all the wonderful memories, incredible meals, and experiences over the years. We always looked forward to coming here, and the food never disappointed. The environment was inviting, and you could have privacy in a booth or be front and center at the window and enjoy the view. What made it even more special was the people. Mem was always so incredibly sweet, remembering us and asking about our cats, while happily sharing updates and stories about hers. Those little personal touches are what you remember long after the last meal. We're truly going to miss this place and everyone who made it special. Thank you for the food, the hospitality, the laughs, and the memories. Wishing everyone who was part of it nothing but the best.

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!

The seats were comfortable and the host and servers were all wonderful for real. Then a man who was maybe an owner or manager was totally wonderful as well. All the things were great and the food was super yummy for every single bite I had. This is definitely a great spot to go to and I am thankful again for some local people to suggest a great spot like this.

Not anymore. Watching the prep table getting cleaned with the same towel several times over, well I had to expect "it" was going to happen. Sadly, there used to be a real Sushi restaurant not far from there. The owner was aging and had to tap out. Kim's is the fast food restaurant of sushi. Take a wise pass. Note to Management: When customers call, try to go out of your way to call them back.

Had driven by this…read moreintersection so many times and have seen Aki on my Yelp searches for so long, I finally had to try it. Showed up around 1pm and the restaurant was completely empty. There were a few delivery app pickups and the sushi chefs were busy the whole time we were there so they definitely have a lunch clientele- just not at the restaurant. There is a lunch menu available at the back of the menu booklet. Mostly sushi/sashimi combos, bento boxes, and rice bowls, most of which come with miso soup and/or salad. I opted for the sashimi lunch, which was 13 pieces of sashimi with a small bowl of rice. For the most part, the sashimi was excellent - fresh and melt-in-your mouth. I was pretty disappointed that 2 of the pieces were imitation crab tho...

We were able to be seated right away and the person who greeted us was incredibly kind to us. The restaurant is fairly spacious. They have lots of tables and some booths. As we were looking through their very large menu to the side, what to order, the waiter brought an appetizer on the house, which I believe was some kind of tempura fish, which was pretty good! We ordered four rolls and one miso soup. I do have to say that other places give you the miso soup when you order more than one roll, so it was different that we had to order it separately and pay for it separately, but I understand that restaurants are different. We got the Montclair, the Caldwell, the salmon avocado, and their Hawaiian roll. The one that truly stood out to me was the Hawaiian roll, it had kiwi and mango on top which made for a delicious combination and very refreshing. The other three rolls were OK, nothing outstanding. That miso was a bit sweet, which was different for me. At the end of our meal, they gave us orange slices and they were actually delicious! It was a cute surprise and truly showed the vibe of the people who run this place. Overall, the bill came around $50ish which was incredibly cheap for all four rolls and the soup. I definitely would come here again to get the Hawaiian roll and maybe try out some other stuff!

Every roll we got was satisfying and the rice was good, the rolls well-formed. The only issue was the cut of the Boston roll was too thin. Service was polite but food was quite slow to come out. The not so good: the chicken teriyaki. The purple rice we ordered was seasoned like sushi rice, which made it an odd accompaniment although it was tasty enough. The chicken itself was not seasoned well enough and had the distinct texture of being frozen for just a bit too long. Quite dry and unspectacular. Outdoor seating was cute. We would go back for the sushi only.

And after sitting there for a while, I understood why. This place is clearly built for takeout and delivery. It looks like a Chinese takeout spot that decided to throw a couple of tables inside and call itself a restaurant. The sushi? Fuggedaboutit. I ordered several rolls, and I swear the portions were so small I thought they forgot half the ingredients. For the prices they charge, the amount of food you get is ridiculous. Everything tasted extremely average and looked cheap. Nothing about this meal made me think, "Yeah, I'm coming back here." At one point I was so disappointed that I just packed the food up and took it home. Meanwhile, the place was full of Uber Eats and DoorDash drivers coming in and out picking up orders. Apparently, THAT is the real restaurant business here. Listen, nobody is asking for Nobu. But if you're going to charge restaurant prices, at least give me restaurant-quality food and portions. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Save your money and go somewhere else. There's plenty of better sushi around. Jersey verdict: Fuhgeddaboudit.
