    Be forewarned... If paying with a CC, you will be hit with a 3% service fee, take-out or otherwise. And if you are holding a $10 coupon for a $100 order, management will not honor it upon request if you are at $96 and change, plus tip. And the sushi rice is hard and subpar.

    Not the best sushi and a bit pricey for the quality. However their hot entrees were a better pick esp the crispy squid and general tso chicken. The service was quick and generally nice and the restaurant was clean and spacious.

    Rock shrimp. It was good, but heavy. We wouldn't get it again.

    My boyfriend ordered Thai fried squid and rock shrimp as an appetizer. The squid was very good and we would get it again. The rock shrimp was good but heavy (very thick batter on the shrimp). We wouldn't get this again. For the main dish, my boyfriend got soft shell tempura crab roll. It was very good and he said he would get it again. He also got a shrimp tempura roll. If you are trying to decide which one of these to order, he said the soft shell tempura crab roll was best. My boyfriend said he had a slight stomachache, but I have a feeling this is due to the fact he ordered all fried food lol. I ordered a salmon avocado roll and a spicy salmon roll. Both were good. I'd get the salmon avocado roll again. The salmon in the spicy salmon roll was a little dry, but it was very good anyway so who cares. Overall a pleasant experience and we would go again.

    Our favorite Saturday afternoon lunch place. $14 for 3 sushi lunch. We usually order the standard : shrimp tempura, eek avocado, shrimp avocado rolls. Service is prompt. They are nice and respectful and it's always extremely clean. They have also been accommodating with our sons sesame allergy -making his rolls special for him Without sesame and we've never had an issue.

    This place has hands down the best sushi in New Jersey! Delivery was fast, and the customer service was great. 10/10 will order again.

Pros: plenty of parking, AC was comfortable even during a heat wave, service wasn't rushed. The place was quiet. Cons: the sushi was average but not amazing. I had the tuna belly appetizer with a friend. It was so unimpressive, I barely remember it. I ordered a bento box. It was standard but the chicken was very bland. The sauce didn't add much flavor at all. It's hard to mess up tempura so that was fine. The California roll was a half notch above supermarket. And the shumai tasted a bit fishy. Not terrible but just ok. Keep in mind the others seemed to enjoy the place immensely. The prices were fair. For a neighborhood spot geared at takeout it's fine. If you're looking for a dining experience, keep looking.

Very generous portions for the shrimp, and the chicken, and veggie alike. Seasoned and flavorful,crispy and delicious with the dipping sauce. I also really like the shumai, the steamed shrimp in a delicate wrap. Its soft without being mushy. The texture is just right. The gyoza is fine, not remarkable. The roast duck spring roll is also interesting, very crispy and mine was served with a pretty spicy sauce that I enjoyed. The sushi is fine, and the Magic Roll is a standout - lobster salad with mango whitefish with tempura flakes. Very good. I recommend the Crispy rock shrimp as well. The staff is friendly. Overall, really good food, definitely get any one of the tempura dishes and some shumai.

This place is more of Asian fusion style restaurant with a unique variety of cuisines. As I waited for my order I could see that they have a nice dining room with linen tablecloths for dining in.

They have a good selection of Chinese, Vietnamese,Thai, and Malaysian dishes, along with some unique offerings like Jellyfish Salad, Sweet n Sour Jellyfish, Pickle with Pork Intestines, Sautéed Pork Liver with Vegetables,Crystal Dumplings, Fish Maw Soup with Crabmeat and a whole lot more of interesting and unique dishes. They offer a separate Chinese menu for authentic dishes, and a menu all in Chinese for those who can read it. Ye's Asian Bidtro also has a nice variety of Soups, Salads along with Vegetarian options. They offer Beef, Chicken, Pork, Lamb, Seafood, Chef Specials, Noodles and Rice Dishes, Casseroles, and Pho. They have Lunch Specials too. I ordered for an Appetizer Steamed Leaf Shape Pork Dumplings. You get 6 in an order, they were very good, I could've stop eating them. For my dinner I placed an order for their Combination General Tso's Chicken with Fried Rice. It was really delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly and it was tender. The sauce had good flavor and the Stir Fried Broccoli was a nice accompaniment. My bf ordered their Combination Pork Lo Mein with Fried Rice. He really enjoyed his meal. I shared my dumplings with him, and gave him a taste of my General Tso's Chicken. He too thought the food here was very good. There is a large free parking lot in the back. There are a few handicapped parking spaces. I will definitely be returning.

I've eaten at Ottoyee for months now, and each experience has been incredibly delicious. However, the only thing is that the wait time can run very long. Not for the food to arrive, but for placing the order. We tried to get the attention of the waiter on staff multiple times, but was either ignored or they were behind the screen attending to something else. The wait time was around 15-20 minutes, but this is likely attributed to the small staff. Otherwise though, they were incredibly kind and knowledgeable of the menu and we still had a delicious experience as usual.

Upon entertaining on a weekend evening, there were a few tables with patrons but not too busy. The restaurant did seem a bit understaffed with only one person taking orders / bringing food out, making it difficult to flag down this one person to successfully take our order and ask for anything additional throughout the night. Gyudon: for the price, we were really surprised at how small of a portion this was. It was not only in a small bowl, but the meat was layered on top perfectly deceiving you to think that there was more than there actually was. The majority of this dish was rice, and with limited sauce at that. As displayed on the menu images it was to be served with a runny egg, but unfortunately we got a fully cooked one (disappointing, as we were looking for something to mix with the rice!) Sushi: We got a 3 rolls and they were just alright. They were pretty small in size, with less rice than I'm used to (which is something I do like - I would rather more fish than rice!) With us getting spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and spicy scallop - they all kind of tasted the same, so I wish the fish wasn't as heavily masked with spicy mayo. Ramen: I got the black garlic ramen, and it wasn't the best, but wasn't the worst. I've purchased fresh ramen packages in the supermarket before and it tasted just like that, so it made me disappointed knowing I could achieve the same at home. The soup itself was extremely rich and fatty, and the charsiu had no flavor whatsoever leaving much to be desired. The main reason I'm rating this so low is upon having my last bites of sushi, I could tell something was off. I don't recall which specifically I had but I made a statement that it was extremely fishy and off putting. Fast forward later that night, I was hunched over the toilet vomiting with stomach pain - and I can deduct that the sushi was the culprit. I might consider trying Ottoyee again due to the great deals they have listed on food delivery apps, but the sushi quality (quite literally) put a bad taste in my mouth.

We also tried the Goat Cheese Croquettes, Chicken Liver Mousse Toast, Black Pepper Calamari, and Spicy Maple Glazed Ribs. The apps were tasty and easily the best part of the meal. The entrees were more inconsistent. The Caesar salad was skimpy and oddly put together. I had to ask for more dressing, the chicken was sliced large and parked in one spot, and was bland af. I had to steal sauce from some of the apps to make it edible. My husband's Steakhouse Burger was cooked perfectly and juicy, but it was basically just a patty with cheese and no other toppings, and the cheese itself was pretty bland. Service was pleasant but not polished. We weren't asked about another round of drinks, water took a while, and simple menu questions got uncertain answers. I'd come back for cocktails, appetizers, and the vibe, especially with a group. For a full meal, Landmark didn't totally land.
