    Spicy yellowtail roll and Cobra roll
    Lisa C.

    Loved everything! My spicy yellowtail roll was skimpy on the spicy yellowtail but it was quite tasty! Both appetizers and all the rolls were great!!

    If you like sushi this is definitely one of the must go to spots. Nice small place, very good sushi, good atmosphere and the pricing is very reasonable for what you get.

    Loved it!!! Seafood udon is out of the world amazing!! Specially if you are a udon and seafood fan - the broth is spicy and flavorful. I loved it. We went to Momofuku in New York last week and was extremely disappointed with there udon (not even warm :( no flavor nothing for an 2 hours wait!) We also ordered sushi and AC, salmon, mango and California rolls and they were Aaamazinggg veggies in them were fresh crispy - more than five stars to the hospitality, the lady here came and asked for our tastes and how spicy and warm/hot should our soups be. (Try clear and miso soups both are great starters) We were beyond impressed.

    Spicy Salmon, Spicy Tuna and Amazing Roll. Yum!

    This is an amazing little find for me because I live over an hour away, but will definitely be back. Sushi was fresh, lots of great specialty rolls, service was quick, and the environment is very beautiful and artistic. Highly recommended this for lunch, dinner, or anytime you have a hankering for Japanese food. I can't wait to come back to try their Korean dishes too!

    Just went here without any plans of coming here but was astounded with the food we were served. We ordered some sushi and the presentation was one of the best that I've ever seen. Looking at the menu, this restaurant serves a fusion of Korean and Japanese (some Chinese) delicacies. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    This is my favorite sushi spot is the whole town. Always get their crunch balls: deep fried sushi rice topped with tuna and avocado with a sweet sauce and spicy mayo. SOOO GOOD! My fiancé loves the teriyaki beef rolled with scallions, and the green tea is a must

    Little Tokyo is heads and shoulders above the other over priced sushi in our area. Absolutely love it. Please go and enjoy!

    Probably the best sushi in town, tastes really really good and is great value. Food always comes out quick and it's super quiet in there.

    Came here for my birthday and cannot say enough good things. Started with the bread, which is a…read moregenerous portion of crispy, fluffy bread with butter. The tuna crudo was fresh with nice acidity, and I loved the plate it came on. The foie gras was extremely rich and savory, and the risotto underneath was cooked perfectly. The rabbit ragú is such a unique dish. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the rabbit was so tender, and the sauce was excellent. Not pictured is their take on fries, which are thick but still extremely crispy and delicious. We were between the orange dessert and the chocolate cake, and they surprised me by bringing us both, which is indicative of how good the service was. It's a cozy place that I would absolutely visit again. Overall: 4.8/5

    ***If there's one review you should read before deciding to come here, it's this one. I'm about to…read morewax poetic.*** Let me preface by saying that I'm a young adult who considers himself a bit of a foodie. I work in Times Square so I usually frequent fine dining establishments in the city, but my home is North Jersey so I am acutely aware that there are some hidden gems in this state. Last week, I was at the Saddle River Inn in Saddle River and was blown away. But this place is far, far, even more exceptional. Greatest dining experience ever. Called the restaurant due to a last-minute cancelation in my party. Evan, a manager, was super helpful in waiving any cancelation fees. It's BYOB and there's a brewery across the street that apparently does takeout. I just brought beer from my house. They gave me chilled glasses and a bucket of ice to keep my refreshments chilled. Onto the ambience. You walk in and it's a nice, cozy little place with tables and a bar top with an open kitchen layout behind it. You can see all the food that's cooking and the presentations that go behind each dish - all live in front of you. The chef's were busy but always obliged when I said hey or asked a question. I tried the 5 course chef's tasting menu for $125. You get a little bit of all of the best flavors coming out of the kitchen. And the flavors are always changing. They source their ingredients from local farms. First came out complimentary course #1 - all I remember is it had crudo in it. Then course #1 - gulf shrimp with squid. This is the point where I decide no matter how else dinner plays out, I'm coming back. What fresh ingredients and creative flavor pairings. Next was course #2 - duck confit spring roll. It's just a smaller portion of what's regularly on their menu. This may have been my favorite item of the night. Next was wood fired octopus in tagliatelle pasta. After that, I believe, was complimentary course #2 - what appeared to be a caesar salad. Anything they make is delicious. Finally, I had an American wagyu strip as the fourth course. Absolutely delectable. At this point, I'm in Heaven. But I'm not quite yet full and ready for my dessert - profiteroles - one of my favorite desserts. I was looking forward to it from the moment I walked in and saw it listed on the tasting menu. I only eat 1 meal a day so when I finally eat, I eat a lot. A normal person would be full at this point, but I wanted more. I also couldn't help but think it might have something to do with me not wanting to leave and just try anything this kitchen made. So I ordered more. I asked for their regular menu and ordered some more duck confit spring rolls and some type of pork belly entree. Quick note - the pork belly entree was not good. You have to take the losses on the chin to make the wins matter more. Pork belly over beans? It was like bbq ribs meets an English breakfast. Please get rid of that, respectfully. After 3 bites, I didn't want any more so I quietly flagged down my server, Kat, and told her please quietly take this, I fully intend to pay for it since I ordered it; it's just no good. And I had been raving to her about every dish up until that point. So she insisted that she'd take it off the check. I insisted I'd pay, she kept insisting, so I relented. That's really good customer service. Now time for dessert. I wish I could say I was ending on a better note but the Profiteroles - which I mentioned is a favorite dessert of mine - massive disappointment. After everything else was put together for care, I got notes of freezer for this last one - especially the pumpkin part. I love this restaurant and I intend on returning as soon as possible, so please don't take offense to my constructive criticism. I applaud your efforts to infuse different flavors together. It is working wonders for you. Keep it up. I'm gonna share pictures of everything, including the menu. But the last 2 things I'll talk about are the cost and the service. With the pork belly entree taken off, it was just the 5 course tasting menu, an order of duck confit spring rolls, and a $6 double espresso. The total came out to $168 after taxes. I tipped $168. That's right. 100%. In a world where people like to dock tip percentages from their precious "20%" for what they perceive to be a lack of good service, let's normalize going above 25% for exceptional service. Not everyone can afford 100% like me, but next tip tip your servers 30-35% for exceptional service. As a former server in my heyday, I promise it'll mean more to them than the few extra dollars to you. And exceptional service is what I got. From manager Evan, to server Kat, to all of the others I met - forgive me if I forget any names. Chef Kelly, Chef Mike, Chef Jon, Keira, Jimmy. Thank you for an unforgettable 5-star experience. Keep up the exceptional work. I will see you again soon.
