The restaurant was staffed by a hostess/waitress and a single cook. Really small operation with a small retail footprint. It's nice because they have a small parking lot in the back, too.

The inside is super cute, and the display of the food is top notch. - Hand-roll set, (5/5): very worth your money! this entire set can definitely fill you up, and each of the hand rolls are so unique in flavor and super filling. I love the banchan as well, and my favorite is the edamame, which I think or flavored with miso butter?? - Pork Cutlet set, (4.5/5): got curry on the side as extra for $5, because it doesn't feel right to have tonkatsu without curry! The cutlet itself was fried very well, and it was not oily at all. it was on the sliiightly drier side, but I recommend getting it with the curry - Yuzu Cheesecake, (3.75/5): can taste the yuzu here, but the texture itself was a bit crumby, and I prefer a creamier texture. the serving size was also a bit small, and we felt that the strawberry didn't really pair well with the cheesecake overall I would come here again to try their other menu items! I heard their dons were pretty good. that's all from me thanks for reading :^)

Great spot in Fort Lee for high quality Japanese food in a nice yet casual setting. I especially…read morelove the lunch Gozen options. I ordered the Unagi Don Gozen ($42)- it came with a whole tray of different delicious items, with the star of the show being a generous amount of unagi (eel) over rice. The eel was cooked very well and the rice was flavorful with a bit of sweetness. There was also a small bowl of udon noodles, some sashimi, a crispy tempura shrimp in a yummy creamy sauce, flavorful edamame, mashed potato with corn, and some pickled veggies - quite the diverse array, all of which was tasty. The restaurant itself has a rather simple yet elegant Japanese wooden design. The prices suggest it's a more high end place, but the vibe is actually rather casual. The staff are very attentive and the service speed is pretty quick. Overall, I would definitely give Moru 4.5 stars if I could. I think it's great for most types of occasions, and the only reasons it's not getting 5 stars is because I do think the prices are a tad higher than I would've hoped and I think they could've done a bit more in terms of designing the place to match the price point. That being said, I still highly recommend Moru, especially for a nice lunch.

Heard a lot of great things about this place, so this place has been on my list for quite awhile…read moreand finally made it. If you want amazing, fresh, and supreme sushi, this is the place! If you are thinking, no need to think. Go! Trust me! You won't regret it! First of all, the sushi chefs are Japanese, so you know that the sushi is going to be legit. And it was busy there from customers and take-out, so you know that everything will be fresh, too. There were so many options to choose from the menu, so I had to ask for a recommendation. My friend and I were recommended to try the omakase option and, boy, that was a perfect choice! There were 3 types of omakase and we chose the first one. -Sushi omakase - $70 -Sashimi omakase - $80 -Sushi & sashimi omakase - $90 This was my first omakase experience where I walked out super full and impressed. -We were advised to eat each piece without soy sauce because each piece was curated with their own unique flavors. -After our first bite, we were advised that we could ask the sushi chef to adjust the rice and wasabi ratio in each sushi piece. We decided to keep it as is. -The wasabi here is really good, but spicy, so if you can't handle the spiciness, definitely ask for less. I was crying because of the wasabi but I didn't want it to be adjust because it was so good. -On the menu, it states that you have 2 hours, which allowed us to enjoy the omakase at a nice pace. -The udon soup you get in the end is made with hand-cut, chewy noodles and it was a perfect ending. -And this omakase also includes a dessert at the end, which was a perfect sweet ending. I hope you made the right decision to come here for your sushi craving/experience. Once you come here, I bet this will be your regular sushi spot. Tips: -Yamagata in a small shopping plaza with parking, but it fills up fast. There is metered parking on the street if needed. -This place is cozy and intimate, so if you are planning to come at a busy time, I would suggest calling to make a reservation. -For the omakase experience, if you can, sit at the sushi counter so that you could get the full experience by getting each sushi piece from the sushi chef.

Place was a bit of a letdown overall…read more Wasn't aware this was an AYCE place, I believe it wasn't prior. Place looks really nice outside but looks comparatively run down inside. Main complaints are the no sashimi and free water/tea. As per all AYCE, you should charge for leftover food. However, they stat also on the menu they'll charge if there is an excess of wasted appetizers and rice. There are no options on the AYCE menu for the sushi without rice. All your sushi needed to come in a roll or paired with rice. Seems a bit unfair. No water or drinks available without charge. Only had tea and water bottles that were 2-3$ each. Sushi was fine but it's more in the middle of the pack in price in the area for AYCE sushi, not including the price of drinks. In addition, the fact I can't just order fish without rice is a major letdown.

I've been a patron of the OG Sazanami for years while I lived in Jersey. Came back to visit and had…read moreto try their new spot. The new location is more spacious and brighter. The concept here centers around their hambagu which at the other location was limited per day and was served with their signature curry. We got a few appetizers and enjoyed each one thoroughly. The tartare was a standout. For mains we got red wine demiglace hambagu and the kaisondon. The hambagu was as good as I remember; juicy, tender, explosion of flavor. I would love for there to have been a curry option though as it was truly my favorite J curry in the states. The miso soup is also is different. It's more like what you'd typically find as opposed to their previous homey version. Overall very solid spot from one of my favorites.

This place specializes in Japanese hamburg steaks, which, for those who are not aware (like me…read morebefore coming here), is basically just a thick burger patty. I got the original hamburg steak which actually contains both beef and pork with the gorgonzola white cream sauce and kinoko baby bell mushrooms. The steaks come in a set with other sides including white rice, miso soup, salad, chawanmushi (steamed egg), and a scoop of mashed potato. It was $23 + $2 for the mushroom topping for all of this food (which I couldn't even finish), so I'd say the value is pretty good. The steak was good and juicy, although to be honest, not sure if it's better than in the normal burger form. The gorgonzola white cream sauce dominated the flavor profile a bit, though it was pretty good if you like cheesy sauces. They make it clear on the menu that it takes 20 min to prep the steaks, which was an accurate estimate. The staff were fairly friendly although I thought they could've been a bit more attentive. The restaurant is situated on River Road, which is quite a busy street with limited street parking at times. There is a decent amount of seating inside though and the place has a chill clean environment. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, but it wasn't quite impressive enough to warrant a full 5 stars, especially with the prep time. That being said, I would still definitely recommend it if you are in the area and interested in trying a hamburg steak.

I really enjoyed this place, it isn't as popular as other Japanese places but their food is quite delicious too. Their portions are larger than those of Teri Teri which is something really good. Their restaurant really catches your attention the lighting really makes everything calm and relaxing and you can see the chef cook the food for you. Ginger grill should become a more popular place I highly recommend it. read more

Robongi's lunch special is from 11am-4pm on weekdays. You have a choice between 2 or 3 rolls and it comes with a soup or salad. All the fish tasted super fresh and the fish-to-rice ratio was on point! I loved the salmon avocado and spicy tuna; those are 2 classics I tend to get wherever a lunch special is offered. I also got the spicy scallop which came at an up-charge. A lot of places don't offer this so I didn't mind the additional $2. Flavor-wise, I actually enjoyed it a lot but there was a lot of tempura crunch when I would have preferred it to be all scallop. The miso soup had a rich umami flavor but not much tofu in it. Good quality, reasonably priced, and super fast service!
