From the moment you sit down, you feel like you are in someone's home, to share a meal. The ambience is warm and dimly lit and although the place is small, its super cozy. They also have cute little colored Post It note pads and Sharpie pens which allows their customers to write/draw whatever they want and stick it on the walls! I love that, it just goes to show how welcoming they are to their guests. The food was amazing! By far my favorite sushi spot so far in NJ! Every meal comes with a free sample of a special roll which is so nice and introduces you to new rolls you may not have tried. After your meal, you are offered a dessert on the house which is a flavored ice to share with you table. Its so yummy and refreshing and like the cherry on top to a perfect meal. I will definitely be a frequent customer at this place. They got the customer experience right 100%!

Meh, this place is just so sad now. The service is still pretty good but the sushi is not worth the…read morehype anymore. There are less tables and the place is darker. It just makes the restaurant gloomy; not romantic. I used to order the Kiss of Fire roll, which was hands down the best sushi I ever had. I ordered it today and it was just lacking flavor. Mind you, I haven't been to this place in years but I just thought the quality would remain the same. I know times are hard now, so it's still nice they give stuff on the house. However, it's not a roll on the house anymore, just a sushi piece lol. I did bump it up a star since the dessert on the house is PHENOMENAL. Other than that, I hope the old Kenko brings back their fire. They're missing it.

Appetizers: Sate Beef (sliced sirloin in Malaysian BBQ sauce). , Agedashi Tofu (deep fried Tofu with Dasi sauce), Yam Yam Eel , OMG , (fried sweet potato with crispy eel and spicy sauce). Then our ship came in. It included the following: Mexican Shrimp Roll, Mango Shrimp Roll, Yose Roll, Soprano's Roll ( each piece had a different topping). I had to order two more rolls: Tako Su (octopus) and Lou's favorite of the day...Pepper Tuna with Kiwi and Mango. Each dish was a new experience as Nori's Chefs prepare everything in their own style . Fabulous !! We finished our meal with Mochi- Vanilla, Green Tea and Mango. We can't wait to return !!

It had a dense consistency bordering on hard. It also lacked flavor and had a bit of a sour aftertaste. I'm not sure if it was actually tuna. I feel it may have been hake with some kind of red food coloring added to make it look like tuna. With all that said we may give Yellowtail another try at some point to give them an opportunity for redemption. But we won't be in any rush to do so.

I ordered the grilled chicken, chicken broth ramen noodles. Out of all the Ramen I've had, this ranks the lowest. I even make my own ramen at home and (pat myself on my back) I make better Ramen than this restaurant. The lack of flavor must have been a mistake, like ingredients were missing type of mistake, it lacked soy flavor, you know that savory, high quality charm that a ramen bowl brings and the layers of tastes. Just none of that was there. In fact, the chicken or broth had a slight metallic taste to it... This bowl was void of any life or soul. Avoid Teriyaki Bowl if you want Ramen, or try it and let me know if I was off. Maybe their other dishes are much better. Jinya, Kinya, Ani Ramen, Fuiji Ramen runs laps around this bowl I purchased, which I regret. I didn't even finish it.

As far as the food goes, my husband and I both agree that it's good and worthy of a re-visit in the future however, it wasn't blow your socks off! I got the chicken ramen and I literally got two pieces of chicken in my ramen....i was definitely expecting more than that. My husband got the chicken chashu and he said it was a solid option. I want to be so clear that this five star review is based off of our fantastic server, Yosef. He was so friendly, so personable and an overall pleasant worker! He made conversation with us and made sure we had everything we needed to have the best experience. Nowadays, people are so unfriendly and just there to collect a check. JINYA, you are very lucky to have a worker of this nature! Thank you for making our dinner a great experience. We will gladly be back in the future to try another dish and hopefully get the same wonderful customer service.

I wouldn't hold it against you if you eyed me with suspicion when I said:…read more "It's in a strip mall, next to an Applebee's but... it's great!" "It's my new favorite ramen joint. My last favorite was in a food court inside of a mall!" "It feels like it's the next evolution in the Tommy's Tavern-Tio Taco's takeover of high-quality spots all across our great state!" (But each statement is said, and meant, with sincerity.) It's large (high ceilings adding to the 'wow factor'). It has a great look and vibe. The entire staff are profusely positive. As for the ramen... the broth was chock-a-block with flavor and veggies and noodles and a whole array of goodies (black oil, crispy garlic nubs, creamy tofu, you name it). The Mrs. (who is the real connoisseur when it comes to ramen, I'm just a wannabe) thought the portion was a bit on the 'wimpy' side (for the price) but I was content. (We arrived at the tail-end of happy hour, so maybe I was a bit more forgiving since the bill wasn't as bad as it could've-would've been.)

We just stopped here on the way back from a shopping trip at the nearby Costco. The restaurant…read moreitself was very large and clean and the staff was friendly. We ordered from a touchscreen kiosk and had the food delivered in plastic containers by a robot. My daughter and I had the black garlic ramen, my wife the spicy miso, and my son the miso with the udon option (75 cents add-on to replace the ramen noodles). We also had pork gyoza and pork steam buns. The food was pretty good. It wasn't the level of some of the NYC or California ramen places that we've been to (e.g. Ippudo, or even the Edgewater Mitsuwa food court ramen--which are amazingly good). However, it was decent especially for the price and we enjoyed it. What struck us as very odd was that we were the only customers in the entire restaurant. Why was a well-reviewed, fairly good place like this not without a single other customer during prime dinner time (6 to 630pm on a Sunday night)? Complete mystery--hoping it's an anomaly as we need good places like this to stay open.

Turns out drive by here all the time so why not finally try!? I ordered the Tonkotsu Shio Ramen with extra pork + egg along with the Pan Fried Pork Buns and Yasai (veggie) Gyoza. The bowl of ramen is big enough for two people so I made it last for dinner and leftover lunch the next day. The pan fried pork buns were my FAVE! There were 3 of them and pretty sizable! The gyoza was okay - next time I won't get the veggie option. Pretty reasonable pricing, it was approx $30 for all of this. All in all, I'd order here again!

One of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had…read more Let me start by saying this is no longer a BYOB restaurant, despite giving every impression that it still is. There is no clear notice that they now have a liquor license, yet they charge a $10 corkage fee per bottle--or require one drink per person to waive the fee. This feels misleading from the start. After a long and frustrating discussion with our waitress--who couldn't clearly explain the policy--a man (who never identified himself as a manager or in any official role) came over. Even after more back-and-forth, the policy remained unclear until we were told definitively: one drink per person to waive the cork fee. By that point, we had already purchased a drink. We decided to stay, as we've dined here many times before without issues. Unfortunately, things only got worse. We specifically asked for our appetizers and entrees to be timed separately. Instead, our main courses arrived while we were still halfway through our appetizers. Then came the biggest issue: the beef teriyaki. The meat was inedible--extremely undercooked, with a bloody taste and raw interior. We immediately stopped eating and called the waitress over. She told us, quite confidently, that it was filet mignon. It absolutely was not. We asked to speak again with the same gentleman. When questioned, he immediately contradicted her and said it was not filet mignon--but then admitted he didn't know what cut of meat it actually was. He went to the kitchen and came back still unable to identify it, only saying it was "beef." At that point, offering us ice cream as compensation felt almost insulting. We asked for the dish to be removed from the bill. Instead, the waitress returned with three cups of vanilla ice cream--and the charge for the dish was still on the bill. We paid and left, including a 20% tip for the waitress, as the issues seemed more systemic than entirely her fault. Be advised: this is not a BYOB restaurant anymore, and based on this experience, I would strongly recommend proceeding with caution.
