Nothing really stood out to me as far as flavor or noodle texture. The curry was almost all just sauce over rice so I would pass on this dish next time. Loved the fried chicken though. Crunchy non the outside and super juicy on the inside. The dipping sauce had a slight kick to it but was manageable. The gyoza was average as well. Overall, a pleasant experience. The inside is spacious and clean. Staff are friendly and service was fast.

Ramen was once nothing more than Japanese street food. The scene in the Garden State has come a…read morelong way, where one doesn't have to go across the Hudson for fantastic ramen. What started as a handful of niche noodle shops is now a full-on culinary movement. All across Jersey, ramen chefs are crafting rich broths, house-made noodles, and inventive toppings that delight the senses. Located on State Street in Hackensack, I frequent this establishment numerous times during the year. Ramen Azuma pours out their soul in preparing perfectly the classic Japanese cuisine. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the staff and got an empty table by the window inside their cozy and inviting vibe. Their menu features a wide selection of ramen, curry, and appetizers. I decided on their newest edition--Wonton Ramen and 3 pieces of Fried Chicken. The savory ramen soup was filled with shrimp wontons. Even though they were very thin wonton wrappers with a smaller amount of filling, they tasted consistent with other shrimp wontons from past restaurants, accompanied by Menma Bamboo, Scallions, and Egg. The Fried Chicken was well seasoned. The food overall remained authentic and incredibly flavorful and on point. The portion was very generous. Friendly service, and the price was reasonable. Make sure one comes on an empty stomach.

My friend selected Yakitori 39 for a Thursday night dinner. We've been to so many places that it…read moreslipped his mind that we had been there before. (I did that recently for a holiday dinner) To his credit it was probably 8-10 years since we had been there. I remembered it favorably and was looking forward to trying it again. Doesn't feel like it's aged particularly well. We were the only diners a bit after 6 on a Thursday. Waitress was pleasant. We started with 5 skewers. Various parts of the chicken, mostly pretty bland. Nothing was bad but nothing was noteworthy. Tried another round of 5 skewers, the one with the plum filling was a bit more enjoyable. In Yakitori 39's defense, we probably did it wrong. It's probably fun with a bunch of sake but I don't drink alcohol. The ingredients seem quality. Probably won't be rushing back.

The place is pretty tiny. Probably not the best for groups. I imagine it could get packed quickly…read more Overall I liked the vibe. Kind of cool seeing the chef tending to the grill. My dining partner and I were seated rather quickly. Our server took our drink orders and came back promptly so we could order our food. The menu is pretty extensive but we ordered an assortment of skewers and a bowl of ramen to share. The skewers came out little by little; about 3 skewers per plate. They didn't come all at once so I assume they bring them out as they finish getting grilled. The chicken heart was some of the best I've ever had. I'm not sure if it's the way it was sliced, the seasoning, or just everything about it but I wish we ordered more. The tail skewer was another standout. It had so much crunch that it was almost like it was fried. The flavors were rich and varied. Each skewer cost upwards of $4 so that's a bummer. Unfortunately the ramen wasn't so great. Not terrible, but not great either. Especially not great for $19. Not my first choice for ramen. Is it the most bang for your buck? Certainly not. But I did enjoy my meal and in the end, that's what matters.

They play some chill jazz music and serve your sushi on a cool wooden platform. They also threw in a small miss soup. Wish they had more variety for the vegetarian options and should consider adding a lunch special.

The owner or manager was also very kind and gave some free stuff for my kids. All in all it was what you'd expect from Menya - very good ramen that always hits in the right ways, especially on those cold days or nights when you've got a serious noodle craving. Their ramen is great and their gyoza is also top notch. The shoyu ramen here is right on point and is my favorite of the bunch. It's also got easy access to parking which is also an other plus as well. You can't go wrong if you want ramen in the area and come to this particular location.

There was one older woman taking and serving both to go and dine in orders. We ordered the chicken Katsu bento box, the salmon bento box, and also Korean fried chicken wings. Everything was delicious. Even the miso soup was tasty and there was just so much food. We sat and had a very nice, delicious lunch. Even grabbed a bottle of wine because they're BYOB and there is a liquor store a few shops down. We spoke to the woman who I think is an owner and she said she has customers come in from NYC and I totally believe her because it's that good and very reasonable. We will absolutely return.
