Came here for dinner on a weeknight while in town for business. Everything we tried tasted great. The service was okay. The waitress seemed very busy trying to fill online orders and managing all the dine-in patrons so that's excusable. Ambience was casual. The food was great. I especially enjoyed the kani salad. Will definitely come back. read more

Fast service, we were seated right away on a weekday for lunch. There were plenty of open tables, although there more customers that came in around 1pm. Started off with the kani salad and miso soup. They had lunch specials with various combinations. We opted for the 2 special rolls and regular roll for $30. The spicy yellowtail was delicious and we loved the Godzilla and bamboo rolls, too. We enjoyed every item we ordered! Will definitely be coming back! read more

Favorite sushi spot!! Staff are very kind and attentive, and the restaurant is cozy. Everything on the menu is delicious. Highly recommend the magic potion tea (decaf) to go with your meal! Parking behind the restaurant is somewhat limited, but I can usually find a spot around dinner time. read more

Food yummy service great! Ambiance warm and clean Love the tea roman and sweet potato roll. read more

Solid 4 for service, food quality, and ambience. We had the spicy tuna roll, California roll, chirashi bowl and the chicken katsu curry. Rolls were 6 pieces per order and rice to fish ratio was good. The chirashi bowl at about $19 dollars was small compared to any chirashi bowl I've had. 8 pieces of high quality fish ( snapper, toro, salmon, white tuna ), eggs and rice. For that price point the bowl is usually filled with more fish, with bigger pieces. Takoyaki was okay. Chicken katsu curry was great- good portions served with rice and potatoes as well, chicken was crisp and smothered with curry. Our server was friendly, service was good, casual and clean place. Would recommend:) read more

There are many sushi options in the Morristown / Morris Plains area, but we just found our new favorite! We had a great experience all around. The sushi was very fresh, with lots of great options. And the kids LOVED their bento boxes. One piece of advice - order a pot of the Magic Potion tea. Turmeric, ginger, lemongrass, lemon, orange, and some honey for sweetness. We were all fighting over the last cup, until the waitress settled the argument by bringing a fresh pot! And that brings us to the service - which was very friendly and helpful. Plus, she brought a little treat for the kids at the end, which definitely scored her some points! We'll definitely be returning soon. read more

Excellent food, great quality of ingredients and fish. We love the sushi and sashimi options here along with the ramen. I wish they had some vegetarian options for the ramen, hard to take others here that's are strict vegetarians. The appetizers are all amazing! The servers are so so good at taking care of every customer. The food is served with a smile. The place is cozy and has a warm and casual vibe. Highly recommend this place. read more

Walked in for lunch and was surprised how many tables were open. They did some takeout business while we were there. Server was prompt and efficient. I ordered a bento box and was pleasantly surprised by the quantity of food. I actually ended up taking most of the beef and rice home in a to go box. The restaurant has windows along the front and part of the side so it felt well lit and had some cute decorations. My nephew had his first bento box and enjoyed it so much he talked his parents into taking back again a week later! read more

Went for a last minute late lunch and loved the half ramen and one roll deal. I don't eat red meat so I love when a ramen places offers chicken substitutions for all their ramen variations. Also for an eel avocado roll and it was good. Lovedddd that they gave mochi on the way out. It was exactly what I wanted without even knowing it. Docked half a star cause the waitress was cold and a little rude. read more

The salmon bowl came with a good portion of salmon, but the salmon itself lacked the fattiness that gives the salmon it's rich flavor. Also, the rice was under seasoned for my liking. The katsu was crispy and good. The rest of the rolls we got were fine but nothing memorable. read more

I visited this restaurant this weekend. I had the chicken katsu. It was very good, not dry. But, the salad was AMAZING! I know its just a side salad, but the dressing was so good. I asked for a salad to go and had it immediately when I got back to my air bnb. My friend said her salmon teriyaki bento box plate was also amazing. Will definitely go back if were ever visit Jersey again, we are from Los Angeles! read more

Stopped in for a midweek lunch. Small dining area noisy (lively with office people out for lunch talking animatedly, terrible acoustics). Ordered ramen lunch: small ramen bowl (with instant noodles? They brag about authentic ramen and serve package noodles?) tasty but with few items; delicious spicy tuna roll included in order. Fairly good service. Small parking area in back. That tuna added half a star to my rating. read more

Nice cozy little place for lunch. Me and my team have come here numerous times for their lunch specials-we especially like their bento boxes since there's plenty of food and all very reasonably priced. On this last occasion, we had chicken teriyaki,orange chicken and beef bulgogi bento boxes. Great fast service,good food,prime location (there's a free parking lot in the back)-what else would one need? ;) we'll definitely be back. read more

Finally dined in at Kiori, and the food was (as expected) even better tried hot and fresh. The steamed veggie dumplings were perfection and even came in a cute steamer basket. The boneless fried chicken with soy garlic sauce was everything. Perfectly crispy and crunchy with the sweetest and most flavorful sauce. The lunch special is $11.95 and comes with a large basket of chicken, plus curly fries and coleslaw. I'm not a huge sushi fan, and love that they have so many other options like small plates, ramen and udon, katsu and fried chicken. Service was wonderful. There was one staff member for several filled tables, and he constantly came over to check in. Every meal at Kiori ends with a complimentary mochi ice cream - such a cute touch. Absolutely worth a visit for in-person and not just takeout, especially for their fabulous lunch specials! read more

Ordered: 6pc Chicken Wings (~$9): soy garlic Avocado Bomb (~$12): with spicy tuna Seaweed Salad (~$6) French Kiss Roll (~$16): spicy tuna mixed crunch, cucumber rolled grilled shrimp, crunch and scallion on top with eel sauce, spicy mayo, and sweet sauce Tropicana Roll (~$15): fresh tuna, fresh salmon and mango rolled, top sliced avocado with house wasabi sauce Chicken Katsu (~$16): deep fried chicken with house made panko bread crumbs served with white rice and miso soup Green Tea Mochi (complimentary) Aya's take: Great dinner spot! Everything we had was delicious starting with the Chicken Wings. The soy garlic coating was light and could've used a bit more sauce but they were crispy and had great flavor. I actually really liked the Avocado Bomb; super creamy and soft from the avocado and spicy tuna. Considering it's just one piece (but can be sharable), I wouldn't get it again. Both Rolls we had were solid, although there was a bit of a wait since they forgot our orders. The Chicken Katsu was unbelievably crispy and thin; it was a bit dry but the katsu sauce on the side definitely helped with that. They offered us a free piece of Mochi after our meals which was a sweet way to end the meal. Decent try, overall! read more

I was at this Japanese restaurant pretty recently with a group and I would say that it's in general a lot better than the other comparable Japanese place in the area, Tokyo Ramen. The staff here was nicer and the food here was definitely much better. I was thinking about the katsu curry but eventually I went with the Beef Bulgogi Bento Box for $17.95 listed as Japanese style thinly sliced ribeye and onion with house made brown sauce served with a side of steamed rice, house salad, spring roll, edamame, California roll, and miso soup. The miso soup at the beginning was standard and fine. This was a tasty above average bento box even with the main dish being more on the Korean end (especially as they also have kalbi as an option so I presume one of the owners is Korean or something.) There was a good amount of beef which was pretty tender and the sauce had a bit of sweetness but not as much as many of the Korean places I've been to. This was on top of the steamed rice of course which absorbed all the juices. The California roll was fine and the rice wasn't clumpy. The house salad did not have the usual gingery dressing but instead had a lightly sweet white dressing which was a different but nice touch. The spring rolls were presumably store bought but they were fine and there was a sweet sauce to dip them into and there was a good amount of edamame. This was a good deal for the price. Another person had a bowl of Vegetarian Miso Ramen for I believe $14.95, someone had the chicken teriyaki bento, and the last person had the Japanese fried rice or rather chahan which came topped with an egg which they seemed to like. read more

Came here on lunch break. Small to medium venue with a private rear lot. It's actually next door to where I went yesterday during my lunch break. Modern, dark themed interior, quick and very friendly service. The sushi was very good. Collectively we had the two Salmon & Avocado rolls, California roll, Bamboo, French Kiss, Boston roll, Godzilla roll, Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box, Miso soup, & Fried Chicken. The fried chicken was complimentary, & it was greatly appreciated that. All of the food was very good. I'd definitely come back again.

We've always had a great experience with takeout from Kiori but tonight we finally got to dine-in and we are SO thrilled we did. We enjoyed the Miso Ramen, Dark Knight roll and Sweet Potato Roll, but the star of the show was the Soy Garlic Chicken. 10/10 every bite. Great, polite service that kept our waters and tea full and cozy inside was just the cherry on top. It's a small dining room with maybe 10 tables so get there early on a Friday/Saturday night, which is when our waitress says they are the busiest. My only regret was not taking any photos! We can't wait to dine there again! read more

This was our second visit here, and you can def tell that the word is out about this place, it's a lot busier, but happy to say that the service is still very personal, and the staff really take pride in their craft, and rightfully so! Today we got to try the sushi and the chicken wings. The sushi was good suburban sushi, but the star was def the wings, they are not traditional Korean wings as they use a tempura like batter that makes for a much crunchier and "lighter" wing compared to the potato starch variety, these may get be the best wings I've had in a long while! The shrimp tempura udon and Kani salad were repeats and for a good reason, they are delicious. As Arnold would say I'll be back read more

Ok so you know I walked in and there wasn't anyone here. It was a Monday night and there was a steady dordash takeout flow so I was eating by myself so I really did t care and because I'm here for work I thought I'd give it a try.... The reviews were good so what the heck!!! Man I was not disappointed!!!! The sushi is fresh and generous portion. It kinda weird though they only sell one nigiri piece per order which isn't very Japanese them... usually two per order. But the price reflects one piece and it isn't expensive so go figure.... Anyway wow was it good and super fast cause I was the only one.... Sushi and ramen YUMMY, and the ramen is very good huge bowl and so much flavor.... Not to ever be compared the college room staples.... This was so good I recommend! read more

Every time I come here the food is consistently very well done. The bulgogi and kalbi are very flavorful and marinated well. Both are also tender and not overcooked.

I'm sorry to say, the tuna roll didn't seem fresh. The pieces weren't attached to the rice. Soda was served in the can with a straw. Prices weren't bad but the sushi rolls were small and not great quality. Ambiance was poor. Service was good. We got complimentary dessert at the end that was tasty. read more

The Cheese katsu they serve here is crisp savory flavorful and definitely cheesy. They make their panko in house and the meal is scrumptious. Paired it with the white peach yuzu drink and it is a must try. They also have a good selection of sushi, ramen, bento boxes and many more. We ended the meal with their soft mochi ice cream which was satisfying. The staff were amazing as the owner and the host took care of us well and attended to our needs. Please support them and comeby for a good meal. read more

One of the better Japanese restaurants in the area in my opinion! I've been here twice now and both times the employees are extremely hospitable and attentive. Their lunch special is a good deal - even the half size ramen is pretty filling and at under $16 I would definitely say it's worth it. Also good for if you can't decide between sushi or noodles! Ramen has tasty broth and big pieces of pork, even for a half size. Their pork katsu came with a generous portion of meat (wish there was more sauce though, it was tasty!) and their breading was unique. MAYBE a little on the drier side, but I still thought it was flavorful and satisfying. They also give complementary mochi ice cream after your meal! Inside is spacious and both times I went, I didn't have to wait for a table for two. Might be a little harder for parties larger than maybe 5 or 6, but the staff definitely seems like they would do their best to accommodate. read more
