The location of the restaurant maximizes the natural sunlight which makes the interior feel warm and inviting. This has been my favorite meal of the year so far. I'd definitely recommend this place!

I've been to this location when it was a Korean restaurant and had similar rustic vibes. Ended up getting the Donkatsu which comes with salad, rice and sauce.

Overall had a good experience. * Good service * Recommend making reservations * Meter parking

Would probably skip the sushi ~ We all tried a different curry and really enjoyed it. Even the spicy option wasn't too spicy ~ but the flavors of the curry come through more on the non spicy options. Everything was good, felt homey! The katsu is the best in our opinion! Also BYOB!

Their picture menu will have your head spinning because of the endless food combo dishes. On this visit I chose their AZUMA GOZEN SET. You can have the soba cold or hot. For the noodles just know that you will paid the same price whether you choose small, medium or the large (100 grams of soba per portion). I loved all the sides that came with, super delish and their tempura is one of the best I have ever had. And don't get me started on their gorgeous presentation. I plan to come back to try their other dishes. Reservations are highly recommended as the place has limited seating. Staff is super friendly. Fun fact: buckwheat noodles has many incredible health benefits so slurp up!!

I ordered over the phone for pickup and the woman who answered was very professional, clear, and friendly. I could tell it was a busy, lively night from the background noise. Yet she was very attentive. She read my order back to me before hanging up. When I arrived I was greeted right away and led to the pickup station, where my food was waiting for me. I ordered two spicy tuna rolls and a spicy salmon roll. The sushi was some of the best I've ever had! Very fresh and nice spice level. I normally don't like salmon rolls but they were sooo good I thought they got the order wrong; like no way this is salmon. It had the perfect amount of spicy mayo. Solid place for sushi and I will definitely return.

Nice place! Plenty of open tables on a Thursday evening. And the wait staff was friendly and…read moreattentive. There is a bar area where you can sit and watch them make the ramen. I got the yubu unagi and my friend got the yubu ikura. Both were really good, the rice used was very flavorful. It was a great appetizer. My friend loves fish roe and she said hers was very good. They are known for dipping ramen, but I didn't get that. I got the tonkotsu broth Ajitama because I didn't want that much meat and I wanted to make sure I got an egg. The broth was delicious, not too salty but very rich and umami in flavor. I love the addition of wood ear mushroom and the noodles had a great chewy texture. They have some claw machines in the front, it's $5 minimum spend which gets you 5 coins, each machine is one coin and there is one machine that gives you two tries for one coin. I ended up getting a prize! Not the one I wanted but was happy.

The Tsukemen Deluxe was flavorful and hearty -- more filling than I expected. I would skip the…read moreappetizer sampler next time and just order the karaage chicken, which was great and made with dark meat. The service was good, especially considering there were only two people seating guests, taking orders, delivering food, and busing tables for the entire restaurant.

I would definitely come back again to try their spicy tonkotsu ramen!

The soft shell crab was yummy and perfectly fried but we preferred dipping it into the yellowtail sauce. The yellowtail was a little overcooked and not the best piece. My friend complained that the meat was too tough as it was not just the collar portion. I usually find overcooking the yellowtail quite difficult since it's normally very tender. The cheesy corn chicken was delicious. Love the little pieces of corn in the cheese and the texture and taste of the chicken. The interior of the restaurant is clean, bright and relaxing. Service was good. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have the Orion draft available. Ordered and the ever came back 5 mins later saying that's unavailable as well so I ended up ordering the Terra. The have meter parking in the back or the restaurant. Around $3 per hour and the restaurant will refund you the first hour. Plus if you pay cash, you get 12% off. I would definitely check the bill as there was definitely a discrepancy with the parking reimbursement and cash discount. Overall, I think the food is better than norm and would definitely come back or visit/try the Manhattan location.

My son got a bit of a kick out of the random frogs they have placed around the restaurant. Food tip: Although they have lunch and dinner menus, you are allowed to order off the dinner menu if the lunch menu is not something you want. We ordered the fried dumplings $12, 2 salmon lovers, chirashi bowl, udon for the kids, chilled buckwheat and acorn jelly bowl, spicy octopus bibimbap in hot stone pot + miso soup and garlic chicken. Did we over order? Definitely yes. But we finished most of the things. Sushi in the chirashi set and the salmon lover was fresh and tasty, so I would order that again if we come back. Parking: street parking can be hectic but spaces opened up being it was a Sunday. The lot in the back didn't have a designated space for them, so it would either be municipal or street parking.

My girlfriend and I were…read moreimmediately greeted by a small but cozy environment tucked away in a little strip mall in Fort Lee NJ. The experience was solid and very unique, as they seat you on a long counter with about 15 other patrons, giving you a great view of everything the talented sushi chefs are doing as they prepare all 16 courses. The service was amazing, with the waiters being very attentive and paying close attention to everything from how much water was in your cup to how clean your plate was Dinner started with light appetizers featuring a variety of flavors to get you used to the main course. Then, after a small palate cleanser, the party really starts. The 16 courses featured some fan favorites such as fatty tuna (my personal favorite for it's rich flavor) and salmon, and ended with a very delicate crème brûlée dessert. I recommend checking out Sushi Kai for your next date night or special event. Just make sure to make a reservation.

The interior is very modern and sleek with clean lines.There is a counter with about 10 seats and 2 other tables so reservations are a must. There are purse hooks under the counter which is great because it can get a little tight. The omakase experience is an intimate, 16-course meal. The fish is super fresh. The fatty tuna was by far my favorite course that melted in my mouth. I also really enjoyed the Black Sesame crème brûlée and wish I had more! Service was good and there was someone who came around to pour more wine. Sushi chefs were friendly and happy to answer questions. Parking is challenging, but that's normal for the Fort Lee area. Highly recommend checking out Sushi Kai for a unique experience.

We also shared a few rolls specifically the spicy tuna, salmon avocado in California- spicy tuna was my favorite but all three were fresh and yummy. The Josh hand roll which is their take on a spicy scallop was incredible- I could likely eat 5 of these myself. It was so delicious we decided to try their special scallop roll which had a torched flavor - it was good but I would skip this and go for the Josh hand roll instead. Ambiance was casual- a very typical sushi restaurant in terms of the decor. Service was friendly and quick. Prices were very fair. Would definitely return here for a quick, casual, and yummy meal.
