My parents and I were already in New Jersey so we decided to visit my good friend and her daughter. At first, we were heading to one of her diner spots but last minute we changed our minds and we came here instead. My good friend and her family frequently dine-in for lunch and dinner here so 老板娘Ling already knows them. The restaurant was spacious with a sushi bar near the entrance as the Sushi Chef was behind the counter slicing up sashimi. My mom ordered for the table...Sesame Jumbo Shrimp (this was definitely my favorite...totally thumbs up...very tasty dish), Taiwan Mai Fun (it was bland so I asked for some hot sauce), and Beef with Broccoli + a bowl of white rice for my good friend's daughter. My good friend ordered her favorite dish Egg Foo Yung with Pork + a bowl of white rice (these two omelets were huge...don't forget to pour the hoisin sauce over them...very tasty dish as well). OMG, we were so stuffed man! I definitely will come back whenever I am back in my good friend's neck of the woods =) Note: They are located in the Echo Plaza Shopping Center!

We were in the area and looked for a place to have an early dinner. Thus, we came across Chen's 22 and agreed to give them a try. As expected, since it was early for dinner so we were the only dine-in customers there. The restaurant is on the small side, kind of long and narrow. We were greeted and seated by a friendly woman who also turned out to be our server. Interestingly, each table had a small bowl of duck sauce and a plate of crispy wide noodles on it. We had never seen that before. We started with soup. My husband and I had a cup of hot and sour soup while our son-in-law had wonton soup. The hot and sour soup had a generous amount of stock but didn't have any kick to it. Our son-in-law liked his wonton soup which had a generous amount of wontons. We used the crispy noodles in our soup. The restaurant has an extensive menu of Chinese items, as well as some Thai entrees plus sushi. We all had Chinese items. I had chicken with bok choy which consisted of small strips of white meat chicken which was on a bed of sauteed bok choy. This dish had a mild sauce and I enjoyed it as I hadn't had bok choy in sometime. My husband had chicken with garlic. He said the garlic flavoring came through very clearly. Our son-in-law had sweet and sour chicken. The chicken was fried and the sweet and sour sauce was served on the side. He, too, enjoyed his dinner. We were offered a complimentary pot of tea which we accepted. Our son-in-law got a soda. As our meal progressed, we realized that this restaurant is a true mom and pop business. Two young children (pre-school to elementary school age) sat in the restaurant and kept themselves occupied. At one point, their dad came out of the kitchen. Kudos to Mom and Dad for two very well behaved kids! We found the food to be A-OK. The portion sizes were generous and reasonably priced. Should we ever be in the area again, we would consider coming here to eat. They have their share of regular customers. While we were there, one came in for a take-out order.

No fish at all.

This review is only about the all you can eat sushi. Which was horrible! Literally a joke to call it all you can eat sushi. It is made to order and the amount of fish that is in each roll is miniscule. There is loads of rice in each piece with a tiny tiny tiny bit of fish. The fish was see through it was so thin! The variety offered is decent, but it doesn't matter when you're just eating mountains of rice. We still laugh at how ridiculous this place is after eating there months ago. Also, they charge you extra if you leave any sushi on your plate! So beware.

We had to wait ~15 minutes for a table to open up before we were able to be seated despite having a reservation. There was a large (and disruptive) party next to us and it seemed like the place was understaffed as our server wasn't able to attend to us much and he seemed frazzled. For appetizers, we had the vegetable gyozas and fried wontons. Both were pretty unimpressive and I wouldn't order them again. I ordered the tempura udon for my entrée which came with a bowl of miso soup which was pretty good. One of my friends got the D.E. warrior roll which was quite pricey (~$30) and was chewy since all the meat was cooked. My udon was decent and came with two shrimp tempuras and two broccoli tempura as well. However, I wasn't a fan of the spinach that came inside the soup. Overall, we had a satisfactory time at Akai but we don't think we would return.

Too much love for Fujiyama Mama to not write an update every 2 years or so. Another girl's night…read morenearby, another massive sushi order. Edamame and seaweed salad were perfect sides to pick on. The Dragon roll is one of my go tos because I don't think you can go wrong with eel. It was delicious as always. The Perfect Naruto Roll might be a new favorite to add to the list. Loved that it was almost entirely different types of fish and no rice. It was a nice change from the other rolls. We also go the Hanky Panky roll that I will need to remember to reorder as well, and a classic salmon roll. Everything was delicious and filling and perfect even the next day. Thanks for another wonderful meal!

Once upon a time, Fujiyama was my go-to for AYCE sushi. They used to have great daily deals and…read moreeven better food, especially during lunch or happy hour. Sadly, not only has the quality reduced to barely edible, they have also decreased in portion while increasing in price. How disappointing!! At first, I thought maybe it was a bad night. But every time can't be an off night, not for me. The service is the same. They don't 'bother' or disturb you too much, but someone is usually need if you need something. It looks a little run down these days, despite the increase in price, everything else seems to be going down. Maybe they will revamp and do better. I'll stick around Yelp to find out, because otherwise, I will never know.

We have been coming to Roosterspin for years now - probably our favorite spot in Westfield. We all…read moreshared the honey butter rice balls, bibimbap, japchae, and regular size of the soy garlic wings. We have been coming here for a while and always get the honey butter rice balls without fail. The crunch on the outside and chewy texture on the inside is perfect and we love the sweet taste. I would pass on the bibimbap next time, it was kind of bland and the crispy rice was burnt instead of golden. The japchae was the star of the meal. So much flavor, perfect cook of the noodles, and thin beef. If I wasn't sharing dishes, I would get this all for myself. Lastly, we got the regular size of soy garlic chicken, which was 12 pieces because they were out of the big drumsticks. The crunch was great with perfectly cooked chicken on the inside. I don't like that they charge extra for sauce but honestly this meal was such a bargain. A meal for 4 under $100 at a nice restaurant is rare. The service was fine, refilled our water on time but our waiter could've been more attentive overall. Ambiance is always great with a retro vibe and cool lighting.

We booked a karaoke room for an hour for 6 people on a Thursday evening, and while the singing was fun, the service was below subpar. When we arrived, we did not have a full menu available to us in the room, so it took a few mins to get our order in. Our server kept close tabs of every minute in karaoke, but not the food. It took over 60 minutes to get our wings! Apparently there was some sort of mix up in the kitchen & while we were understanding, what threw us for a loop was that even though our wings were DELAYED, our server was hesitant to offer complimentary time in our karaoke room while we waited. Right at the 60-minute mark, he was quick to offer two options - our wings to go or a table in the dining room. In the end, we had to negotiate an extra hour in the karaoke room since our food took SO long to come out. When paying the check, we were surprised to see a charge for food we never ever received! I'm super disappointed that they tried to take advantage of us, when we were very understanding of their mix up. In my opinion, servers could use a lesson or two in customer service. Never in my time in hospitality, have I ever behaved in the way they did.

We ordered the halfway roll and kani Stella rolls, and those were actually really good. They were fresh and flavorful. For drinks, she had a Diet Pepsi and I got bubble tea. Overall, the experience was just okay. Not bad, not amazing. I'd say it's worth checking out, especially for the sushi, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.
