The key word is local!…read more Great little local spot in Monroe, NJ. You can tell they're meant for locals and takeout orders as they aren't necessarily catered to diners, but the few seats they do have always get filled with local couples. While the ambience is nothing special, my wife and I love the food here as it has become our go-to sushi spot after we go shooting at Recoil. One of our favorites is the spicy kani salad. They include bits of fried noodles to give a crunchy texture that makes it so good!!! Another item we love to order is the pumpkin tempura roll. We love pumpkin tempura but there aren't many sushi restaurants that will make a roll out of it much less have it on their menu. Their other special rolls are good and they have great ikura too!! Would I recommend going out of your way to come here? Probably not but if you're a local or passing by Monroe, NJ, this is a great spot to try out!

Our server/service was excellent overall and food came out very fast despite the restaurant slowly filling up! We started off with the mentai potato, zaru soba, and tempura appetizers and those were the stars tonight. The mentai potato were steak fries with a mentaiko and wasabi dipping sauces. Fries were large, crispy and perfectly saulted. The zaru soba was also a nice find! We usually have go to NYC for it so it was a nice surprise. Pro tip, add wasabi to the sauce to mellow out the saltiness. We ordered a few rolls, a sushi dinner and some uni. Unfortunately the uni didn't seem as fresh as we had hoped and had a very overwhelming ocean taste to it. The rice on the rolls and sushi also were a bit mushy as if the rice wasn't cooked enough or too much rice vinegar was used. We also ordered a white christmas roll expecting seared white tuna, but it wasn't seared. Fish quality was ok overall. Overall, the experience was fine and we would love to try some more of the hot food. We really loved the apps but were a little disappointed tonight with the sushi. We'd come back soley for the apps!

It's a…read moregreat way to explore places I normally wouldn't visit, and this time we picked Thai Streat since Thai is our second favorite cuisine. We called around 8:40 PM, and they told us the kitchen would take its last order at 9 PM. Luckily, we made it just in time (around 9:02 PM), and they were kind enough to accommodate us. The ambiance was beautiful, with elegant golden décor hanging from the ceiling that gave the place a warm and inviting feel. We quickly ordered the Drunken Noodles and Basil Fried Rice, and to our surprise, the food arrived in just five minutes! The Drunken Noodles were easily the highlight of the meal, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The Basil Fried Rice, however, was a bit disappointing as the rice was hard and chewy. Since it was closing time and we were starving, I didn't feel like complaining. Overall, I'd still say it's a solid choice for Thai food lovers in Central Jersey. The menu offers plenty of authentic Thai favorites, and based on our experience, I'd definitely come back to try more dishes.

I've had problems ordering here in the past due to language differences, ordering through doordash or one of those outfits made it very easy to schedule a pickup. We tried the baba ganoush this time, koshari with fried liver, stuffed green peppers, and little rice and meat sausages. Prices are super reasonable- too- Everything was excellent, not a complaint at all! And that's rare for me. Oh yeah a complaint, allow a lot of time clarify with the restaurant exactly how much time it will take because everything is made to order and it is not a 15 or 20 minute deal. But well worth it.

Let's get the elephant out of the room first…read more Ambience: Non-existent. Interior looks bare. It has a few seating. This is not a spot for a romantic date. We got takeout and were very satisfied. Food: I've had Egyptian before in NYC and I liked this much more. Here's what we ordered: Dolmas (stuffed grapeleaves). They were served hot. Never had them hot and I was surprised by how much I liked them. The stuffing was soft inside with a hint of sourness. Completely different from the typical cold pickled versions we had. I usually have 2-3 pieces but this time we ate the whole pound of it. Stuffed Cornish hen. This order takes a while, so order ahead. At first, we were not impressed by the meat. Not bad, very moist and meat fell off the bone. But, then we ate it with the stuffed rice. Rich umami. All the flavor went into the rice. Very rich flavor and together it was delicious. I would add hot sauce to the mix. Chicken kabob. All breast meat. Decent portion. It was not dry and very well spiced. My in-laws loved it. I'm not a fan of white meat but recognize that it was done well. Stuffed eggplant. Indian eggplant. Also hot version. Firm exterior, soft interior. Cuts through really well to share. Definitely like it more than the cold appetizer i've had elsewhere. More on the milder side so other dishes tasted better. Biftek (fried breaded thin steak). Fried very well. Didn't get soggy in the container so the kitchen knew to let it cool and stay crispy. Nothing bad but also not special. Many different cuisine does the same thing. Needs a dip. I would order it again and I imagine kids with a tunnel vision palate would like it too because it's like chicken nugget and french fries to them. Meat shawarma. This was disappointing. It's not bad but boring compared to all the other dishes. It's pretty much meat over rice but since I come from the city, it doesn't stack up against the lamb/chicken over rice from halal carts. It was a little dry and came with tahini (hummus based). Pretty sure this version is more authentic but I'm biased to the lamb over rice covered in white sauce. If you never had Egyptian before, it's in between Mediterranean and Middle Eastern because it is both but at the same time different enough to be its own category. There's a Greek restaurant in the same plaza and I would say the fare is completely different although their dishes overlap in the menu. They are not comparable. Verdict: We ordered more food the very next day. Until we try other restaurants in the area, this is currently my favorite Egyptian restaurant.

Only $11 for the tofu hibachi which includes rice, noodles, veggies and tofu) and pretty decent portions.

I have only been there for dinner, but I've heard they have great lunch deals as well.
