The tamaki is expensive relative to the portions received and nothing too memorable. Sushi is not their specialty either imo, it was fine but not great compared to what you can get elsewhere in the area.

Okay first of all this replaced the old Pho57 and THANK GOD, this place is so much better than Pho…read more The menu was very simple and easy to ordered, and we all got our foods really quickly. The food itself was okay, my ramen didn't taste too great, not much better than ramen packs you'd buy in the store but the bowl as a whole was good enough. I went to the bathroom and they didn't have paper towels in the dispenser and they didn't even have a garbage? And in the middle of eating THE FIRE ALARM WENT OFF!! It was loud and painful to my ears but they fixed it in a minute but the fire alarm itself was just hanging on by a few cords and it didn't feel very safe. Overall this place is fine, it's good in the Mansfield standards seeing as they don't have any genuine Japanese cuisine around but nothing too special.

Very pleasant and super helpful picking out a meal. The best part was the food - so aromatic and everything was very well balance. We had Crab Rangoon appetizer, my husband had Rare Beef Pho, I had Glass noodles with Shrimp. Everything was delicious and we now have a new place to add to our favorite list!

This is the closest I've gotten to NYC or even San Francisco quality Vietnamese anywhere. The menu…read moreis deep. I'd say something for everyone but with a twist. That would be a genuine thank you and greeting. Menus adorn the wood tables. The art on the walls seems to be reminiscent of another restaurant but no matter. The smiles are genuine and they have foods that no one has in NJ. I'm getting a stir fry with lamb and basil. The bubble tea (coconut) with soft and chewy boba charms. Not cloying. Not overly sweet. Nor too cold. A lively aperitif perhaps. The coconut goes down easily. It would not be over reaching to say that the yellow curry soup is one of the best soups I've enjoyed lately. Each sip is a journey into the heart of darkness. Mysterious and tasty. It comes rife with napa cabbage, fragrant scallion and napped with coconut milk. The stir fried lamb is a pan Asian delight. Its roots firmly in the classics with natural stock and evident love in the kitchen. This is a restaurant that will require deep study because this one meal will lead to many more.

Booking was easy online and we were provided with the menu we'd be making. Chef Jay and his staff were so friendly, and the space we cooked in was very cozy. I loved the experience of Chef Jay explaining the ingredients, helping us understand the flavors we were creating, and then getting to eat all of our delicious dishes, and of course taking home the leftovers. This event was so worth it. I would recommend this to any one of any skill level. My partner and I are by no means chefs, but our food came out perfectly. I can't wait to come back and take another class here, or stop by for dinner!

Otherwise it's a 5 all the way! The miso soup (usually not exciting) was also very fresh tasting. The tofu tasted fresh, not rehydrated, and the scallions were crunchy, as well. TV was playing, no music, which took away from the ambiance.

Our go-to items are the shrimp tempura, chicken tempura, and the M&M roll, and they never disappoint. I also love the bulgogi it's always cooked perfectly and full of flavor.

Although, while his name tag did say Markus, I appreciate the swaggy nickname. It reminds me of Drew from "Rock of Ages" who goes by Wolfgang Von Colt! Anyway, on with my story, I walked in on a mission. I needed to get trail mix but I COULD NOT find it! I looked EVERWHERE but it was just not in sight! I was on the verge of giving up, just as I was leaving, Ja'keith caught my eye. I looked over at him and marched up to Ja'keith. "Hi, I need trail mix, will you help me?" I said. He took a deep breath and thought really hard. "Yes, I do. Follow me." He practically glided over to the chip section and yanked out the last bag of trail mix in stock. I was overjoyed and to this day, Ja'keith and are great friends and I come and visit him frequently!
