Chicken Teriyaki Dinner
Irene S.

What an INCREDIBLE dinner experience! Came here for my hubby's bday and it didn't disappoint. We had our first omakase meal here and just loved every dish we received. Server was friendly and even met the sushi chef, a friendly Indonesian lady. This wasn't even the official omakase as it was the 7-roll version that was highlighted on their menu. Almost like a sampler to the real experience. They also do an official omakase with at least a week's notice, where they personalize the rolls based on your preferences. Will definitely come back on another special occasion.

Ordered takeout which went smoothly and they had the order waiting for us when we walked in. The sushi here is just okay. In my opinion it's on par with some AYCE places. I had higher expectations for the price point. The rice in the two rolls I got was dry and overall did not enjoy the texture of those. The pieces of sushi were decent but nothing special. The spicy mayo is very light in color but I still found it tasty. The ginger and wasabi on the other hand were very bland.

Octopus appetizer

Japanese dining tends to taste like the owners all bought the same Sushi Restaurant kit. That is not this place. This is on another level of taste and creativity. Service, atmosphere, and menu variety are excellent. At first I hesitated ordering the 7 piece Omekase wondering if was worth it, and chose the chicken teriyaki anticipating I would still be hungry. The octopus was cooked rare, avoiding the sin of octopus shaped rubber, and had a very well balanced marinade. The broccoli was the star of the show in the teriyaki; crunchy with fresh garlic flavor. The chicken was fried and in a thicker sauce that was interesting but became a bit bogged down. I have to tell you I had tears in my eyes when I ate the Omakase it was so fantastic. There were at least 5 different flavors to each nigiri and finding them was a surprise and delight. I couldn't believe it was so good. I gushed to Cindy, the chef, who is humble and kind, discussing the individualized Omakase experience, the crunchy broccoli, and the complexity of the nigiri. This is our new spot when we want good sushi, good atmosphere, and go beyond the American sushi kit restaurant.

Space is nice and service is good. I really want to like this place but unfortunately the food has no taste. All the food. Very unfortunate.

Cheesecake
Paula J.

It was very nice place to eat. Had outside dining as well. Waite's was attentive, and very kind. The food was amazing My son who's special needs loved his short ribs ( forgot to take pic before he started eating) I had halibut with like risotto and coconut milk And we had rock shrimp Dessert was burnt cheesecake Thant was really good Had fried ice cream It was good the food was A+++++++++ On weekends free parking by the restaurant And there's a parking garage right beside the restaurant.

Edamame
Lindsey M.

Not super impressed. The appetizers were a little disappointing, definitely wouldn't get the ceviche again(super small portion and more of a tartare than ceviche but what do I know). Edamame was ok but salted unevenly. The sushi was pretty tasty but not life changing. The lucky o five and eel rolls were good but the soft shell crab one was a little watery. The desserts however were SO good. Highly recommend. Our server was a kind of cold but the service was super quick. The restaurant itself is nice. They also let us return a dish that we didn't like which was nice.

We had just gotten to our hotel and they suggested this as a takeout option , so we placed our order online , it was very easy & everything came out fresh and delicious!

Stephanie D.

Ordered takeout from the website which was pretty seamless. The food was ready earlier than expected. The interior of the restaurant was pretty nice but i didnt see any parking nearby. The food was pretty good and fresh but a little on the pricey side

Love sushi? Same. I've enjoyed the crème de la crème in Kyoto and Tokyo, where the fish practically introduced itself before leaping onto my plate. So imagine my horror at paying $55 for the so-called "Elite Omakase" here in the States. This is what I got for my hard-earned cash: 5 pieces of sashimi (toro, tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and white tuna) tasting like they were caught in a pond of sadness. Plus, a "special" roll so bland it could've been named "The House Salad of Sushi." Tuna, salmon, avocado, and red tobiko all drizzled in a "special" house sauce so dull, it served no purpose except in its possible attempt to add color to the boring fish. And the condiments? Oh, they were the supporting cast of disappointment. Pre-packaged soy sauce that tasted like salt tears, wasabi that had no bite to it, and ginger so lifeless it did nothing. Even its color looked worn out. Here's the kicker: this dish changes price depending on the website--$50, $55, $65. Honestly, it felt more like a bidding war for mediocrity. This meal put me to sleep. As I was snoring, a neighboring diner robbed me of $55. Consider my omakase dreams officially crushed. This photo makes the Elite Omakase dish look colorful, full of vibrant tastes but alas, it's a dish of mushy fish with no distinct flavor with an unreasonable price tag.

Cold smoked yellowtail with "white sturgeon caviar" BS it is not sturgeon caviar. It is tobiko at best. Tasted fine.

Server was great. Atmosphere is fine if not standard. The food is not great for the price you pay. None of the sushi tasted particularly fresh and we ordered and appetizer that calls itself "smoked yellowtail with white sturgeon caviar". What they served is not white sturgeon caviar. I told the server but I don't think they care. The Yakitori we were served came out almost immediately and was clearly just precooked and briefly warmed up skewered. Overall quite sub par and expensive. Avoid.

Alex T.

What a sweet gem in the Princeton area! Love the affordable sashimi options they have and will certainly be returning after a wonderful anniversary experience. The maki elite five roll is also quite good too. Bathrooms are quite clean and the service is rather quick. The restaurant being packed on a decently cold day kind of tells you how consistent and popular they are! Scenery and vibes are immaculate and the tuna is to die for!

Lunch today !

There is a microwave in the shop which is very convenient as well. The shrimp shumai was soggy but flavor wise it was good. A few minutes in an air fryer to get that crisp back and they'd be delicious! Theres also a large assortment of refrigerated drinks like juices, sodas & teas as well. I tried the matcha love sweetened green tea which was very good and refreshing. I just kept going back after eating one thing after the other to try something else. I meant it when I said I became a fan lol. I picked up a mini packaged cheesecake (more like a cheesecake bread than a traditional creamy cheesecake) which was a great dessert to end it on. My first time at Haru Grab & Go was great so of course, I came back for another spicy salmon roll and a kani salad which both tasted good and kept me satisfied. 5/5!

I ordered the Grilled Chicken Wrap, which was excellent, packed with chicken and very filling. I ended up taking half home because it was both generous and delicious.

Tiger Noodles in Princeton delivered a small triumph to my room through Grubhub. I opened the…read morecontainers and felt that quiet sense of hope a hungry person feels when the aromas drift upward and promise a good evening. It is always a pleasure when those promises are kept. I ordered the pineapple fried rice and the portion was enormous. It felt like opening a treasure chest filled with bright colors, roast pork, and warm spice. The seasoning worked perfectly with the sweetness of the pineapple. Nothing was timid. Every bite had a lively balance of heat, sweetness, and savory depth. For the price I paid, it felt almost like a small miracle in a paper box. My wife ordered three sushi rolls and she was happy with all of them. She enjoyed the shrimp tempura roll and the tuna avocado roll. But the spicy tuna roll was the star of her show. She generously offered me a piece. The heat was lively but not overwhelming and the filling tasted clean and fresh. There was no excess rice, no unnecessary filler, just a satisfying ratio of fish to rice that let the tuna shine. It is one of the better spicy tuna rolls I have had in quite some time. In Princeton you can find more refined or experimental Asian restaurants if that is what you want. But you will also find prices that may affect your credit rating. Tiger Noodles stands apart because it offers generous portions, honest flavors, and a price point that feels almost out of place in the neighborhood. For what you receive and for what you pay this is an easy five stars. I threw out the empty containers with the feeling that life had been made a little better for an evening. That is all a person can ask from dinner and Tiger Noodles delivered it.

We both started with their Pear Paloma-tequila, pear, cardamom, lime, grapefruit soda. It was refreshing and good. It was the perfect drink to try. We were looking to get a quick bite just to tie us over. This place came recommended by a close friend. We ordered a few appetizers. Spicy Tuna Roll- tuna, spicy mayo, masago, scallion, sambal, eel sauce, sesame seeds add avocado + $1, add pickled mango + $1 I chose the mango for a twist. It was fresh and delicious. We also ordered a California Roll- kani, cucumber, avocado, nori, sushi rice, sesame seeds. You can add pickled mango + $1 or avocado for + $1. We added the mango for a twist. It was very good.

There was a couple sharing our high top and they ordered several orders of these and they told us it's a must try. I would've ordered more food, but we were going to another place and I didn't want to fill up. The staff is very nice here all very friendly and welcoming. There's no children's menu. This place is a bit small so I don't recommend it for young children and it would be difficult for handicapped unless you're able to get a table outside. We will definitely be back.

As we were leaving I reconfirmed it with the person at the host's desk ( seemed to be the manager) , who apologized and said maybe our waiter missed it . But it was a noticeable miss that cannot be overlooked, as that was the purpose of our dinner here. End of the meal, our family's spirits fell flat, but we still sang and celebrated sans the petty candle. Now on to the food and drinks... Mocktails were delicious, colorful, and eye-catching . We tried all 3 on the menu and loved it. Appetizers galore filled our table ... Bang Bang cauliflower had a medley of sweet & sour flavors. Hummus pita board - Warm grilled pita was a table favorite with the small portion of hummus and fresh crisp veggies. Harvest salad - crisp lettuce, feta cheese, walnuts, poached and fresh sliced pear, cucumbers, and watermelon radish with rose vinaigrette made this extra special. Crispy calamari - great pairing with pickled veggies and arugula basil aioli. We ordered an assortment of entrees with all seafood choices . Salmon with risotto , Halibut & Branzino cooked to perfection served with flavorful sides. For dessert, it was the warm brownie with vanilla ice cream and peanut butter cup . The brownie was soft and not too sweet, slightly warm and it vanished in a few seconds. Peanut butter cup was a dense donut texture with candied peanuts We hoped that at least one of the desserts would be served with a candle as we were celebrating a birthday but they missed it and didn't care enough despite letting them know when marking the reservation.
