**NOTE: For me, Apple Maps has led me to the wrong location when I navigate. When in doubt, you can navigate to Nanami Sushi & Asian Cuisine in Jamesburg, NJ since it is to the left of Fogon Latino.**
Had to provide an update because YEARS later it is still delicious and remains one of my favorite spots! I will weep if they ever close down.
Their food is divine. Even their rice is somehow incredible. Their meat bursts with flavor and is tender. I don't order off of their menu; they just have a bunch of hot food buffet style and I just request what I want. I always get their rice with black beans on top. Menu items vary by day but these are common items and some of my favorites: chicken leg, beef ribs, yuka fries, and pork ribs.
When I introduced this place to my boyfriend, he fell in love too. When I asked what he would do if it ever shut down, he said he would kidnap the ladies working there (joking, of course). But he did say seriously if he knew ahead of time he would be willing to pay for their recipes.
The friendliness of service depends on who's serving you, but no one is rude. They're just straight to the point.
The inside is always clean - I just never eat in there since I just pile a bunch of food in a takeout container and bring it home for several meals. My boyfriend can finish it in one go if he's starving though.
I always get a takeout box to go, and tbh the only downside is I don't know how much it is until they check out. They don't weigh it either, but I'm sure they have some type of formula? A box is usually around $22 BUT that's with A LOT of food stashed in there that I ask for. It's worth it. Another thing is that their soups, while delicious, are overly salted like crazy! So I usually skip that. Or if you really want to try it, you can dilute it with water and reheat it.
A hidden gem overall - Must try! Who would've knew a quiet strip mall can hold some of the best food I've ever had. read more
