    Chef Justin
    Reyna N.

    We had the pleasure of swinging by @yakitorichefjustin on Saturday to have some of Chef Justin's renowned yakitori. The grilled vegetables and protein were AMAZING, reasonably priced, and expertly made. Juicy and just the right amount of tenderness, perfectly capturing the flavor of the grill. Overall, we had the BEST yakitori meal we've ever had; it was an outstanding experience; WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND it! Great Vibes. Great Customer Service. OUTSTANDING FLAVORS

    Yakitori cart

    I saw this on Google and decided to give it a try as I have never seen an yakitori cart before in the U.S. The owner is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about his craft, introducing me the various cuts of chicken as well as recommendations for other authentic Japanese eateries. I can confidently say that these skewers are the best I have had other than Uyghur skewers. MUCH MUCH juicier than any from high-end yakitori restaurants and at a lower price. You can immediately tell that the seasonings/sauces are carefully constructed to compliment the meat, enhancing and not overpowering the tori flavor!

    2 chicken, 1 zucchini skewers over white rice

    Got the 2 chicken 1 zucchini skewers over rice and OMG!!!!!!!! Sooooo delicious. Cooked on the spot. Best skewers i've ever had. Thank you Justin!

    4 chicken skewers, 1 steak,  1 pork belly

    We saw it on a TikTok and decided we had try it for lunch. It's a small cart on the corner of Newark and Hudson, in front of Starbucks. He said he tries to get there at 12pm everyday but should be up and running by 1pm. The options are: various types of chicken (chef asked us if we would want organs, which we said we'd pass on), pork belly, steak. I got the 3 chicken skewer set while my husband got 2 chickens and a steak (he wanted to try 1 of each, but the pork belly was sold out). It is made to order, so it does take some time (probably about 15 minutes). BUT, it was well worth the wait. It's actually pretty cool - he cooks the meat very carefully on a small coal fire grill. We wanted to bring the food down to the pier and eat it while enjoying the views, but literally couldn't wait to start. The chicken was incredibly well cooked- soooo juicy. Each skewer had a different type of sauce (depending on the type of chicken meat). Husband said the steak was cooked extremely well as well. By the time we reached the end of the pier, we were done eating because we inhaled the skewers. We actually happen to spend the day at the pier the next day and had to go again because it was that good. This time, we might've been the first customers of the day and my husband was able to try the pork belly. He enjoyed the pork belly, but said the chicken was still #1 - "the juiciness doesn't compare". TLDR Chef Justin said he tries to get there around 12pm (but go after 1pm to be safe) Must try chicken - juiciest skewers ever! Wait time is about 15-20 minutes - worth the wait Several payment options (venmo, cash app, zelle etc)

    Excellent spot. 1) The menu has a main item, Japanese Yakitori. 2) The owner takes all forms of digital payments from Venmo to Apple Pay. For someone like me, who doesn't carry cash, this is awesome! 3) I would say, this is a must eat Hoboken street food.

    We got yakitori here and he made it fresh in front of us. It was perfect for a cold day. It's does take a bit but it's worth it.

    Just returned to Denmark from a nice Eastern holiday in Hoboken NJ…read more We found Saka by coincidence. Ordered Red Dragon and Saka rolls, salmon nigri and Edamame with seasalt, and we did that again 2 times more during our holiday.

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!

It's a very casual place. You order through your phone. We ordered sodas to drink and karaage chicken and shrimp shumai dumplings. The apps were delicious. Our ramen arrived fast. I had the Tonkotsu ramen and my gf had the shoyu ramen. I prefer the thin noodles and pork broth so I was happy with my choice. We both finished as much as we could. It was a good portion size. Overall it's a good spot.

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]

    We've been coming here for a few years, and unfortunately the experience has declined noticeably…read moreover time -- which is disappointing because the restaurant has a lot of potential and a great market. We've visited almost every Thursday during the winter, and the dining room has repeatedly been uncomfortably cold. Most guests, including us, kept our jackets on throughout the meal. When we asked about it, we received conflicting explanations: the manager said the heat had just been turned on because dinner service was starting, while our server told us the heater was broken. Given that we experienced the same issue earlier in the winter -- when space heaters were set up -- it seems like a known problem that hasn't been properly addressed. The bathrooms were even colder, which made things especially uncomfortable. On top of that, the bathroom fixtures had rough, visible trim/paste around the edges, which looked unfinished and unappealing. The food quality has also slipped. The Korean fried chicken bites used to be a favorite, but this time they tasted like plain store-bought chicken breast with only a light drizzle of gochujang -- barely enough to notice any flavor. When our drinks arrived, the server joked that they would "warm us up," which felt a bit tone-deaf given how cold the space was. As a long-time customer, it's disappointing to say this will likely be our last visit.

I'm not the biggest fan of cream cheese in my roll so my least favorite was the Philadelphia roll. I ordered a peach iced tea. The service was great and attentive. When we walked in without a reservation we were able to be seated right away as it wasn't busy. As we started to eat our rolls, the restaurant did get busier with time. Dates and families coming in for their dinner. I have to be honest and say the shrimp shumai wasn't all that special but overall the presentation of the sushi and taste was pretty good. The shumai tasted okay to me, I have had better elsewhere and they looked different. They were tiny. All in all, I would come back and recommend this restaurant to sushi lovers. 10/10 restaurant recommendation.
