    Love Potion
    Clare D.

    Pricey but worth the money. The variety of premium maki rolls available is astounding. There's something for everyone. This time I got the Love Potion filled with lobster meat, shrimp tempura, and avocado wrapped in soy paper and topped with mango sauce and black roe. Totally delicious!

    The seafood/fish in our appetizers was amazing! So fresh, with amazing flavors! The whole roasted duck was incredible!!! Service was excellent. Nice atmosphere in the dining room. Can hear the excitement from the Hibachi side. This restaurant is consistently great!

    We came here randomly. Unfortunately, we didn't get to eat here we ordered take out. I was able to peak inside for a hot sec. It's huge! Looks clean and the decor was nice and inviting. Our order came out quickly. I ordered chicken and the hubs got steak and chicken. I got bonus shrimps in mine! Total win! Everything comes with a soup, salad, rice, noodles, and veggies. The portions are ridiculous btw! A lot of food, but it's really good food! We would like to go back to experience the habachi here. We'll eventually make our way back! Definitely a must try when in Toms River!

    The restaurant is nestled on the side of a golfing hole. Hence the clients are mainly golfers. Having side rooms available there is always some type of medical dinner happening there or the booths in the back. As far as sushi goes, this place is just ok. The fish was fresh as of that morning, but they are very fast to get you food. And so sometimes the quality is not there on the dishes. The rolls looked to be rushed and did not appear well put together. I can down 3 rolls, and I was done after 1. The prices are at the high end and so make it not worth it for the quality of the food. The restaurant is busy because of all the golfers and medical dinners. This makes it hard place for anyone else to get good service. The bar is busy with golfers and the servers are covering all the doctors and pharmacists from the local hospital. And the decor is from the 90s. Feel like you are in the Scarface movie... nice, but very dated.

    The food was amazing! Great service by our chef, he was so funny! The place is also great with a mini exhibit in the restaurant.

    Apparently there is a sister Koi in Brick. These restaurants serve Asian fusion food: Japanese, Chinese, and Thai. We dined at this one in Toms River early last evening. It is a BYOB and we brought a bottle of Saki, which our attentive server Jenny kept heating up. The ambiance is nice in the dining and hibachi rooms (lots of tables and seats) and make sure you check out the mini-museum to the right as you enter. I like the menu, which is basically a book with pictures of dishes. We started with an appetizer Pandora Lobster, $14, lobster salad and avocado wrapped with rice paper, deep fried. Tasty. Our entrees came with soup and salad. You can order hibachi at regular sit down tables too. For entrees we had Hibachi Scallop with two shrimp, vegetables, noodles, fried rice and ice cream, $30. and Phoenix Roast Duck with fried rice and bok Choi, $30. Everything was delicious, and generous portions. We will return.

    Fun, clean and reliable dinner spot for groups. I liked it's flexibility, service and servings.

    If you are looking for a great hibachi show this is not the place to go. The hibachi chef was not very exciting. However the portion sizes were great and food was very good. The restaurant was very quiet and clean.

    For years, I had come to Friendship Plaza, though I never took the chance to the go to Nagoya. I…read moregot the chance and I will say that the food perfectly represents the concept of friendship. Brand: 5/5 Nagoya is a Japanese restaurant located in Friendship Plaza in Howell Township. I do like the brush stroke of the logo, which shows well on the entrance sign and the leather-bound menu. Website: 3/5 I do like the first impressions that Nagoya's website gives you, with an image of the sushi and an option to select "Pick Up and Delivery," which leads you to their usage of the app MenuSifu. The gallery of images of the food do provide a glimpse into the establishment's cuisine. While a couple of the menu items had images, most of them did not. It should be noted that Nagoya has unusual time lapses in terms of when they are open or closed, which the Yelp description provides a better format for explaining it than the website does. Wait Time: 5/5 I experienced no delays or disruptions during the wait time. Ambiance: 5/5 This Japanese restaurant has the unique ambiance of having multicolored lights shown upon the glass walls, while the dimmed lights gave the interior a cool vibe. This includes the dark color of the tables and the seats, all of which felt comfortable. I can clearly see how this establishment would be used for celebrations. The well-spaced tables percolated throughout the large space. The music showcased Japanese Christmas songs throughout the establishment. Food: 4/5 I ordered the Alaskan Roll, which consists of salmon, cucumber, and avocado. The vegetables gave the special roll its sharp, distinct taste. Clearly, I can see how Alaska would have a major theme in the roll with the presence of salmon. The rice and the nori sheet did not stay, and the sushi rolls did fall apart, though I did think that the rice and the other ingredients had good texture. Service: 5/5 The staff managed to provide my order without any issues. Worth The Money?: 5/5 The Alaskan Roll perfectly represents the brand of Nagoya, as among its selection of unique sushi rolls. I personally suggest creating a more unique rolls, for I would be curious as to what they would taste like. Indeed, the website provides you with many other selections of Japanese cuisine. You can also expect to find your sushi roll well-tended despite the nori sheet and the wait time it took to make them. Throughout my meal, the ambiance greatly matched the experience. The service matched the food well, since the meal had the sushi roll, the wasabi, and the yellowtail available. Concerning the first impressions of Nagoya, I definitely did not expect the establishment to have the more upbeat ambiance compared to other Japanese restaurants I went to. I will say that it did give me a new experience, despite the website's presentation. As such, the ambiance never once tried my patience while awaiting my order. I can see how the staff managed to keep the establishment cared for. I will say that the Alaskan Roll and the experience overall managed to match the price and make it worth it. Rating: 5/5 Stars With an establishment like Nagoya, I see plenty of hope for improvement and it will continue to represent Friendship Plaza pleasantly. I would definitely consider Nagoya my second choice when searching for Japanese restaurants in the Howell Township area. Recommend To... Anyone wandering around the large Friendship Plaza if they go to the Shoprite there if they are looking to try Japanese cuisine.

    Wow - this was a truly excellent sushi option when we were in Jackson. Great special rolls and very…read morereasonable lunch specials that even included some rolls normally considered special elsewhere. Please serve tea in a pot for those who want it. Also, the bubbles in the bubble tea were WAY overcooked to the point of exploding. Please either cook them correctly or don't serve it at all. Skip the drinks and go for the sushi! It was delicious, very generous, beautifully presented and very fresh.
