I got the Any Three Roll Lunch Special with my usual go-to rolls of salmon avocado, spicy tuna, yellowtail scallion. The pieces of fish were chunky, fresh, and clean, the rice ratio was decent, and the rolls had really good flavor. My order came with salad and while it was fine, I would have appreciated the option for a miso soup instead. For less than $20, this is a great deal and it was super satisfying this time around!

Service was very friendly and prompt. I forgot specifically what it was called, but we both ordered the set that comes with a small bite first and then a dish of sushi and then a few hand rolls to end. As with we've seen before, everything was fresh and quite good. The restaurant itself is a great spot for an intimate dinner and even small groups. Domodomo is always a good time and will likely be back again.

What a fantastic addition to the neighborhood!!…read more I've been here a few times now, to dine in and to carry out and the food always hits. The bento boxes have generous portions, so if you're really hungry, this is your best bet. The rice bowls are delicious and the apps have been phenomenal. I'll have to try their ramen some time and with fall right around the corner, I know I'll be heading back. The service was quick, they were very attentive to our needs and answered all our questions. It's a very minimalist vibe which I appreciated and I was happy to see a lot of delivery orders being picked up. I'm really happy and excited to have them in the neighborhood!

We got a Spicy Squid Rice Bowl and Spicy Chicken Rice Bento Box. The prices are very good ($30 for the two dishes). Portion sizes are on the smaller side, but I felt satiated. Be forewarned, the spicy dishes are very very spicy and not for the faint of heart. My husband and I love spicy food and still had to take pauses and drink lots of water. I can't wait to try more of their menu, such as their ramen, I'll definitely be back. Very clean and quaint inside, the owners are kind. I love that there is a more authentic Korean/Japanese spot in Jersey City Heights.

The sushi roll was fairly standard, though thankfully, contained more eel than it had on my previous order. The soup, however, was excellent! The broth was rich and flavorful; it contained tender strips of white meat chicken, shitake mushrooms, and a handful of other vegetables. It was fantastic and definitely worth ordering again. The pair made for the perfect late evening meal to tide me over until the next day.

Plenty of tables and good for groups. There are some outdoor seating as well if it's crowded or nice outside. My family tried the below: -Miso Ramen - broth was ok, not my favorite. -Tonkotsu Ramen - broth is ok, not my favorite. I guess I like to have a little spiciness in my soup and we didn't choose the spicy Tonkotsu instead. -Pan-fried Vegetable Gyoza - I thought it was good but my kids said it was ok. -Chicken Katsu Curry Rice plate - my son said it was ok but he didn't finish it. -Tan Tan Ramen - broth was very good and plenty of ingredients The one thing I don't like is thin ramen noodles but that's me. Everyone has their favorites. Sometimes Japanese ramen places like it thin. Service was friendly, attentive and maybe our server was the owner but he was funny. [109R,2025]

Saka has a solid offer of Any 3 Rolls for ~$20. Their selection of rolls is more limiting than other places; would love if they had yellowtail or scallop as options at lunch. Nonetheless, the rolls I got were solid! The fish was fresh and the portion was great, the rice layer wasn't thick at all which is a big factor for me, and to my surprise, it came with both a miso soup & salad. The miso soup was pretty flavorful compared to others I've had and the salad came with a sesame dressing that was so refreshing with the crisp salad. I should've kept my order at that as the Crispy Spicy Salmon wasn't worth it. The crispy rice was slightly too hard/over-fried and the portion of spicy salmon was so tiny. The rice layer should be fully topped with salmon, unlike what they gave. It didn't taste half bad but I'd probably skip it next time. If you order for delivery, their insulated packaging is great for transport and temperature control. Solid try!

A tiny restaurant with BIG flavors!…read more I honestly did not expect the food to be this amazing! It's a small and unassuming restaurant from the outside, but the food is anything but ordinary. Our waitress was so lovely, sweet, and welcoming, and she gave us some great recommendations. I went with the Hokkaido Scallop Crudo and the Mushroom Noodle, which was a new item and both were absolutely delicious! My friend ordered the Filet Mignon Banh Mi Sando, and she absolutely loved it. Everything came out so flavorful that we basically forgot about taking pictures and just devoured our food. Honestly, the fact that I have zero pictures might be the best review I can give. We were too busy enjoying every bite! Now we'll just have to go back... for the food and to finally take pictures. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out!

First, the decor inside is really nice. Whoever handled the interior design did an excellent job. Really dope ambiance with the walls and lighting. To start, we ordered the Vegan Summer Rolls. This was really really good. Love how the rolls were generously filled with veggies. Made eating with chopsticks a little tougher, but a challenge worth pursuing. For the veggie meal, I went with the Crispy Eggplant. This is worth coming back for. It was a very generous portion, but you got a lot of kick with the five spice and the extra chili. Even though it's just eggplant, it fills you up without any doubt. Unfortunately, my other half wanted to try the prawns and it was a bit too difficult for her to eat because it was overcooked. Also, we tried the ube tiramisu and didn't really feel the fusion elements in it. It was okay, just nothing special. I'll come back for the eggplant and the summer rolls. If there's another veggie option in the fall, I may consider that. TBD on whether my other half will return though. 4 for me overall, but with caveats.

Order was correct. And it will be our last time though.

That's all we would have ordered had we known. The Tokyo shoyu ramen was awful, unflavorful and way overpriced. Egg costs extra for ramen... bizarre. All other places add everything for the same price and way better flavor. Noodles overcooked. Pork bowl also bland. This place is a pass for us. We miss vivi bubble in Hoboken.

This was fantastic - Esquites: Very good, the corn is crisp and tender and delicious. This is vegan and better than many of the non-vegan versions I've had. It can be a little sweet but not overly so - Empanadas: They are made perfectly and served over greens and avocado. They were delicious and really well done. I just love Jajaja. I will continue to order different things and update my reviews. It's really a phenomenal option for vegans/plant based eaters who miss meat and cheese and great Mexican: but Jajaja satisfies all those boxes. Non vegan eaters should check it out as well - you won't be disappointed.
