    This Japanese/Chinese restaurant has a lot to offer with an elegant menu. The service is great, and the staff are helpful in explaining the menu. As for the food, I felt it was just Okay. Nothing spectacular, but not bad. The choices I went with was quite tasty, but nothing special. Located in the heart of a quiet town, this restaurant is a solid option.

    Love, love love this place! The sashimi is always fresh and of great quality for the price. The service is excellent very attentive and fast. This place is my favorite sushi restaurant in the area!

    60.00 for three items!! I don't know, but I think that's excessive. dumplings 12.00. Lo main I guess can be made with linguine? Lol but I've never seen that before. It was flavorless. And it was also 21.00! Chicken and broccoli not a lot of flavor. No sauces in the bag, I guess they don't do fortune cookies, no chopsticks. Cheaping out and over charging tasteless food. Never going there again!

    I had a Friday lunch here. The food was amazing, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and beautiful presentation. The staff was top-notch. The cozy atmosphere makes it such a nice spot to spend time with friends and family. I highly recommend it!

    Loved having the no rice rolls. Very fresh.

    Excellent food and service. Everything was DELICIOUS!!! The atmosphere is very relaxed and didn't feel rushed. A must try.

    Crispy Orange Flavor Beef

    DELICIOUS SUSHI AND CUISINE, A GO TO IN BERGEN COUNTY. Amazing, fresh fish that pairs perfectly with their spicy mayo. I loved the orange beef, super flavorful and crispy. My favorite dish was definitely the sesame noodles- I got them cold, and they were incredibly refreshing with the slivers of cucumber and yummy sauce. Owners are also so so sweet and staff is wonderful. Would 100% go again!!!

    The food was so phenomenal that my friend took home all the leftovers!!

    Not usually in Cresskill but drove through with a friend and found this Hanami gem! The sushi was phenomenal... we had the Jennifer roll which had shrimp tempura, and for the first time in my sushi eating life, the tempura was actually warm! We thoroughly enjoyed their chicken and pine nut lettuce wrap - all perfectly diced and seasoned to perfection! Kudos to the chef who also served up orange beef - not my go-to entree but my friend wanted to try it. I was floored at the fragrant orange-y taste that wasn't the typical sliced beef. The servers were also super attentive and constantly offered up refills of green tea (which oddly was a better quality green tea than most Japanese restaurants!)

    Stopped by on a busy Saturday, we didn't have reservations but were sat immediately. The apps were very good and the sushi burrito was tasty. Recommend here, it's also BYOB as a FYI

    tuna tartare pizza

    I liked menu selection. My favorite was general Tso's Tofu! Loved signature Hanami roll..and crispy tempura shrimp...and yellowtail jalapeño...tuna tartare pizza ....service was delightful.. have to try this place!

    I had an amazing lunch at Hanami in Cresskill with my friends. I actually found out that this restaurant has been serving customers for over 25 years, which to me sounds like thousands of, if not millions of happy customers. The venue has a delightful patio for those who appreciate al fresco dining. And guess what? It's BYOB. I had lunch with three of my friends and we all truly enjoyed the variety the restaurant offers. They have so many great dishes, from sushi, sashimi, Chinese to noodles. One might think, maybe justifiably, that because of the wide variety of cuisines offered here, the quality would be mediocre at best. To my surprise, all the dishes I tried were amazing. Maybe my morning workout prior to lunch was one of the key "ingredients," in all seriousness, all the dishes were really delicious. My favorite dishes were the yellowtail sashimi, tuna pizza, and the General Tsos Tofu. The tofu wasn't too sweet or spicy; it was just right. The lo mein had a great portion (took home the leftover which my husband completely decimated) and the chicken with string beans was great as well. The chicken was so tender and the string beans were cooked to perfection. I can't forget about the fried shumai. I am not a big fan of fried shumai (I prefer steamed shumai) but this was different. It was so crispy and simply delicious. Of course, the service was amazing as well; probably another reason why it's been around for over 25 years. With its service, variety, and tasty dishes, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!

    Hanami has been a neighborhood favorite for 26 years, and for good reasons. The extensive menu offers a full sushi and roll selections, from creative signature rolls to traditional sushi/sashimi entrees. The fish is very fresh and always presented very nicely. The sushi pizza is delicious, a great way to start a meal. The Hanami Roll is great too, wrapped in cucumber instead of rice. The restaurant also offers a large Chinese menu, from crowd favorites like Crispy Sesame Chicken and Sautéed Eggplant with Sweet Basil to more traditional dishes like Crispy Tender Half Duck and Filet Mignon with Black Pepper Sauce. The staff is friendly and attentive. The place is not big which makes for a nice intimate setting. It's a great go-to place for a quality meal for any occasion.

    Tuna seaweed tacos. Crunchy seaweed wrap with tuna and shredded lettuce in a tangy sweet salty sauce.

    Tuna seaweed tacos. Absolutely delicious. Crunchy seaweed wrap with tuna and shredded lettuce with a sweet/salty sauce. Hanami never disappoints.

    This is one of the best restaurants in northern Bergen County. I say this without hesitation, and…read moreby judging the restaurant on what it's trying to be: the highest expression of a neighborhood Korean-Chinese place. We most recently came in on a Friday night with a 6 pm reservation. Yes, we had to flag down one of the harried but cheerful women working here to place our order. But look around - there's not a white tablecloth in sight. You may have to catch someone's eye, and there's nothing wrong with that. By 6:15 pm, half of our order was on the table, and we were gleefully chomping on fried dumplings and pillowy buns. The small but clean and modern space was packed - packed with people, but also with so much happiness. Almost everyone was smiling, laughing, and joking as they tucked into this feel-good array of comfort classics. Jajangmyun, jjampong, khan poong, gochu japchae... all of these traditional dishes sang. Even a simple plate of sauteed vegetables was delicious. And everything spent just seconds between being finished in the kitchen and sitting in front of us. Is it cheap? No, nor should it be. The ingredients are of the freshest, including the seafood. The cooking couldn't be better. And this is no grimy hole in the wall. If it were a French bistro, you'd have no problem with the prices. So pay these fine folks what they deserve, and enjoy.

Everything we ordered was so much they were not cheap with their servings . The lady Taking the order was making sure no other orders had special instructions-since I requested no veggies for one.

NY Strip Steak Cheeseburger & Fries Here is the novelty regarding all of these appetizing entrees; they were all prepared from a Chinese take out restaurant! While most of the double sided menu offers Asian cuisine, there is one section specifically geared for American dishes! And the best part is it all tastes fantastic! The starters are on par. They taste identical to what you'd get served at a pub. The cheeseburger was a juicy, giant patty served on a brioche bun. The burger exceeds a Quarter Pounder in terms of taste and size! The steak was also decent, but make sure you have your favorite bottle of steak sauce handy! It's not Longhorn quality, but you'll still get your money's worth and will be satisfied. The calamari was more chewy than crispy, but it wasn't the worst I've had. In fact, it tastes better when I re-heated it in the oven for my preferred level of crispiness. There isn't any indoor seating, so take their outdoor sign literally. If you are looking for delicious non-Asian dishes at reasonable prices at a Chinese spot, this is the place to go.

Madison Ave…read more Dumont, NJ 07628 General Tso's Chicken Dinner Combo Boneless Spare Ribs Dinner Combo Located on the intersection of Madison Avenue and Veterans Plaza is a locally owned Chinese takeout spot. Out of all the choices on the takeout menu, I decided to explore the two most popular plates. General Tso's Chicken Dinner Combo: The hot, spicy chicken is chewy on the inside while slightly crunchy on the outside; expect a mild kick. I'm satisfied broccoli was included, but my only critique is that I would have preferred that the vegetable was mixed in with the tangy sauce. Also included with this combo is pork fried rice and wonton soup. The three wontons and the broth were piping hot. The noodles go hand in hand with the soup. It is a win win whether you choose to have them dry or soaked. Boneless Spare Ribs Dinner Combo: The ribs are tender and chewy with a savory taste. For this combo, I explored the white rice and egg roll. This appetizer was filled with cabbage and ground pork. I enjoyed it, but the size of the egg roll could have been slightly larger with a tad bit more pork. Both combos can also be purchased as a lunch special if you arrive between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. An adequate amount of seating is available if you decide to dine in. Empire Szechaun is open six days per week; arrive any day except Tuesday. I highly recommend this location if you are on the go and need a quick meal, especially the two popular menu items. #chinesefood #chinesetakeout #generaltsoschicken #bonelessspareribs #eggrolls #wontonsoup #whiterice #porkfriedrice #dinnercombo #foodstagram #localbusiness #chinesebusiness #foodreview #foodstagram #njfoodie
