    Edamame and Gyoza dumpling appetizers

    Ate for the first time at this newer sushi and ramen restaurant in what was formerly an Arby's last night. The food was good, we had an edamame appetizer, a mixed sushi plate and a house poke bowl. Fish was very fresh, and portions were generous. Plates were very nicely decorated and presented. Service was a mixed bag, a very nice Asian man (Owner?) took our actual order, he was great, could not do enough to help us. The other servers were young folks who clearly had no training in restaurant service, were improperly dressed for work, but were eager to please. Expect to need to clearly ask for exactly what you want here, at least until these servers get trained. I never received the miso soup they said came with the sushi order. The restaurant was clearly a somewhat redecorated Arby's with a former take out window. It was comfortable enough, and the place was spotlessly clean. I will be ordering takeout from here regularly, quality of the food was great.

    The aftermath of my dinner... obviously I enjoyed it

    Great sushi and appetizers. Service was excellent. Especially enjoyed their signature rolls. We enjoyed the quiet, no drama atmosphere.

    Delicious. Authentic. Nearby. Reasonable. Come get some ramen. I'll be back soon and often. Bonus: tap water in the restaurant tastes good.

The yellowtail is flavorful without being too fishy and the salmon cuts are consistently high-quality. The red tuna is alright. Albacore and sea bass are both good. I would definitely recommend trying the rolls and combinations here as well. The sushi is understandably this restaurant's high point, and I cannot emphasize the quality and care enough. Even the plating is beautiful. The environment here is very welcoming. Even when it's completely full, the music and conversations are never overly loud. Used to be BYOB but now has a drinks menu and bar. I haven't tried the sake, but the NJ wines are decent. The desserts are limited. The oreo tempura ice cream is interesting though and unique to this location. I wouldn't recommend getting any desserts, though. I'd fully recommend coming here! It's the best sushi in the area.

    By far the best Asian food we have eaten since moving to the area…read more The indoor dining area was a little small but on a good day one can eat outside on a terrace with tables. My family and I went to Red Lantern on a Friday night. We did not have to wait to be seated. The hostess greeted us and soon after our waiter joined us. The waiter explained to us the different prices for portion sizes ( small or large). I ordered the small portion which is more like a lunch, but it was adequate for me. My daughter ordered the Perfect 10: a full box of sushi and sashimi which was on the pricey side but all tasted very good. My husband ordered the Basil Chicken and I ordered the small portion of the Mango Chicken. All entrees were delicious. We will definitely return

    Absolutely Not! Why…read morewould anyone put raisins in rice? I repeat: why would you put raisins in rice? We ordered pineapple fried rice, crab rangoon, a spicy tuna avocado roll, and a California roll while watching the Spurs win the Western Conference -- woo hoo. The spicy tuna roll never even made an appearance, the crab rangoon showed up without the red sauce, and the fried rice was basically mush with about five lonely shrimp. Also, raisins? In pineapple fried rice? That's a crime. It's supposed to have cashews. That said, the sexy mama roll was delicious. And if you're reheating it, skip the microwave and pan-sear it on the stove. Now you officially have the Supreme Touch!
