Food - mediocre Service - nice but horrible…read moreAmbiance - nice Unfortunately, we will NEVER return for SO MANY REASONS! Tonight is a Tuesday night, barely 10 tables full yet the service was extremely slow and not good. First thing the restaurant should consider are the toppings price/portion. It is way too expensive and huge. The portion should be small, the same amount they add to a bowl of ramen and it should be like .50-$1 not $2-5! The ramen places in San Francisco include like 5-8 toppings for under $20. When she went over the menu she said the tonkatsu meal "comes with rice, salad, and a beer". We look at the menu photo and it looked like the beer had a separate charge. So when she returned to take our order, I asked again if the beer is included, she says "yes". So I showed her the photo then she corrected herself and said "oh I mean it's recommended". We waited for at least 30 mins after ordering our food but then the "manager" (who looks inexperienced) came out to tell us that one of our orders (katsu) ran out. (When our order was inputted and received in the kitchen, why didn't the kitchen immediately know that they would run out of katsu?) So our 3 ramens came out so we had to start eating while our aunt had to wait another 10 mins for her food to come out. After her food came out I realized our Brussel sprout appetizer never came out either. Two of our water glasses were empty and never refilled. Then as we're still finishing up our meal, the waitress asks if we're getting for our check.... (Why didn't she wait for us to finish our meal?) Okay, so our check comes (they did comp us for the katsu replacement but not the brussel sprouts even though it came AFTER our meals and I had to remind her). My bf notices there's 2 items that's not ours. She leaves and comes back, still one additional item. She leaves and come back, my bf notices there's already a credit card on the bill and she's only charging us $12 (bc we are honest ppl). She leaves and comes back and we pay for the bill. (Why did the manager not come out to speak with us after our Brussels sprout was forgotten then the check was messed up multiple times?) At this point our entire meal should've been comp'd. This is what happens when you leave a bunch of kids to run a restaurant. And the worst part of it all, this place is expensive and supposed to be high end (we are from San Francisco and we found it expensive).

They delivered our food to our table and I was excited as I would drive anywhere for good food! It was worth the hour drive! Nice portion of food, super fresh ingredients, from the spicy tuna to the soft rice. I did the happy dance with the first bite, hahaha! I had the classic milk tea with boba and that was even on point. The boba's texture was amazing and the tea was smooth and paired well with my dinner. Will definitely be back plenty and share this new gem!

I ordered a salmon avocado roll which was only $7, a pork banh mi sandwich for $12 and a Thai tea for $7. Great prices. The roll is a basic sushi roll and it was very tasty and simple. It was light on the rice but has plenty of salmon and a good chunk of avocado. The sandwich was great. It was on a thin toasted roll which was prefect. There was plenty of pork that was well seasoned and included crispy veggies and a sweet sauce. There was also an additional spicy yum yum sauce that was also good. Lastly the Thai tea was good. It was slightly less sweet than other Thai teas I've had but that's not a bad thing. Overall would definitely go back To try some more items.

REVIEW UPDATE - TAKEOUT ONLY: Ani Ramen House is a fantastic…read moreramen spot in Montclair. It's always a fun time and you're pretty much guaranteed a great meal at Ani Ramen. My husband and I really wanted some restorative, Japanese comfort food. However, we were unable to go there in person because he was sick, so I ordered delivery from them for the first time (via Uber Eats). The food held up well in transit and was just as good as if we were dining in. I went with a Karaage Rice Bowl with a Ajitama (6 minute egg) as an added extra. My husband went with a Vegan Ramen bowl. While we were supposed to share the Crispy Tofu Buns, my husband couldn't stop after one. Hey, I can't really blame him though, they are delicious. I can't say I would not have done the same thing had I gotten to them first ;)

Walked in and I loved the place already. Very chill and relaxing ambiance. Staff was very friendly and quite a lot of seating. Went on a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of seats. I don't live very close so I thought I'd order a few things on the menu to try a variety. Was glad I did. Started with the cucumber salad. Light. Refreshing and even has a little kick. I couldn't stop eating it! Ordered the braised pork belly Bao. Comes in orders of 2. Sooooooo flavorful and so worth it! Ordered the Short Rib Ramen and their Special Spicy Tonkotsu ramen. So much flavor in the broths. Very filling and the numerous flavors from the fresh onions, to the beautifully cooked pork belly and short rib, to the perfect soft boiled eggs. A+! Will most definitely be on my mind to stop by every time I'm in the area!

For lunch, I tried the shoyu ramen with a soft boiled egg and side of spicy oil. The broth was light and flavorful. The chashu was very tender and seared nicely. The shoyu came with straight noodles instead of wavy, but it was still good. The bowl had menma, as well as red and green onions. I enjoyed the bowl so much, we went back for dinner the same day. For dinner, I tried the shio ramen, which was basically the same thing, but with a sea salt tare instead of soy sauce. I also got wavy noodles this time and I definitely prefer the wavy noodles. Once again, it came with red and green onion, which i think is a bit overpowering. I would get just green onion next time. The family/couple sets seem to be a great deal. I would definitely return.

Honestly one of the best unknowns I've ever picked. Needed some food after a day of shopping and…read moremost things were already closed, so went a little out of our way to get some food. The place is a simpler local eatery, so decor wasn't exactly a designed by some of the best New York interior decorators, but it was pleasant and very calm. The food is a fusion of various Asian cuisines but it is picked very well and cooked to perfection. Kids loved the Baos and Ramen which is probably one of the best indicators of the quality. From what I can tell it is family owned and run, so service may be a little slower than most similar places but it is definitely attentive and friendlier then most.

I ordered a number of skewers, including shrimp, king mushroom, chicken thigh, steak, the requisite pork. The skewers weee on the small side and just lacked seasoning and flavor. This type of kushiyaki type of food has subtle flavors and relies on top quality ingredients over binchotan. I just got none of it - mute flavors, no smokiness, poor seasoning. To be clear, it's not bad, it just didn't live up to my expectations when compared to a Manhattan izakaya or yakitori joint. Service was fine, but I was disappointed when we asked for a pork cutlet with curry sauce over rice for the little ones, bit minus the curry sauce and it was a rather big deal. Just make the dish and leave it off!
