    Was pretty disappointed last time I came here. We got takeout and I ordered chirashi and specifically labeled it as gluten free in the notes. Picked up our order and took it home. Got a ton of gluten free soy sauce, always a good sign. Then I opened up my chirashi and immediately noticed krab sticks (not GF) and tamago (sometimes not GF). Taking them off, now I saw some stuff on the rice which is unusual so I called and it turned out that they put seasonings and soy sauce on the rice (also not GF). This could have been really bad if I was full blown celiac and not just intolerant. They told me I could come in and they would make a new one. So, instead of eating, I got back in my car and drive over. Didn't wait too long but they gave me a new one. Not much of an apology over the phone or in person either, very lackluster handling. When I ate the food, the rice was still warm which was nice. Overall, the fish didn't impress me this time and after some time my mom said her stomach wasn't feeling great. Mine was bubbling a little but not like hers. Was it the sushi? Maybe. Either way probably will not be returning for a while.

    6 stars really. Stopped in for lunch special and really enjoyed our meal. The waitress was great with fast and friendly service and the food was very good. We had chicken hibachi lunch and chicken teriyaki bento box. Also had sweet potatoe roll which was delicious. Very nice calming ambiance.

    Warm welcome to this awesome new addition to the Livingston food scene. Ate there for the first time a few days ago and thought it was great. Clearly whomever runs it has their shit together because everything from service, to decor to the sushi was amazing, especially for. Soft opening. I would take a 1/2 star for the vile parking in the Shop Rite lot but I gave them the benefit of a doubt. Thanks for a great meal and see you again Tuesday night.

    They use unseasoned non-sushi rice which makes everything taste worse than the expected mediocre suburban NJ sushi.

    5 Stars I visited…read moreMiga Sushi in Livingston, NJ at the end of May, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. A friend and I decided to try the all-you-can-eat sushi, and it was one of the best dining values I've found in a long time. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. Every dish we ordered tasted fresh and high quality, and honestly, we ended up ordering more than we could finish because everything looked so good. What impressed me even more was the service. We arrived around 4:00 PM and stayed until almost 8:00 PM catching up and enjoying our meal. Spending four hours at a table is not something every restaurant appreciates, but the staff was incredibly patient, welcoming, and never made us feel rushed. They continued to provide excellent service throughout our entire visit. To top it off, we even had dessert, and the total bill for two people was around $80. Considering the amount of food, the quality, the desserts, and the excellent service, I thought it was an incredible value. It's rare these days to find a restaurant that delivers great food, great service, and great value all at the same time, but Miga Sushi absolutely does. I would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend the all-you-can-eat option to anyone who loves sushi. Highly recommended!

The menu also offers a nice selection of Japanese and Korean dishes if you want to explore beyond sushi. We tried the bibimbap, which unfortunately wasn't our favorite. Although it was served in a hot stone bowl, the bulgogi was a bit lukewarm and the egg was overdone. I also would have preferred for the staff to mix it for us when it was served. The ambiance is lovely, especially compared with many of the nearby sushi spots, and the service was warm and welcoming. Overall, a really enjoyable experience. Well done!

Now for entree, I chose the flounder daily special. I got it go and it was bland and a very small portion considering what my friends who ordered the same meal to stay received. Booooooooo to the small take home portion size that many restaurants do because you can't tell what they give you until you get home. (Do better!) Drinks-ehhhh! So our evening started off bad when my lychee was missing from my pear lychee martini (with tequila instead of vodka drink. The server bought me one in a cup but it was slimy and smelled like it was spoiled. Needless to say I didn't want any lychee's after that. The server tried to convince me, a lychee connoisseur that there was nothing wrong with it. After the rest of my party who had the same drink noticed it was spoiled, we all requested a new drink. The server had an attitude and was clearly bothered. After asking for the manager, she came back and brought us fresh drinks and a cup full of fresh lychees. But it was such a task to get the drinks straight. My remade drink came back incorrect and I decided to go over to the bar and who was messing up our drinks and who was putting a damper on what should have started out to be an amazing night. He asked what was wrong, I told him and he made me a new one (3rd times a charm I guess). Service 3/10 The young lady that served us had an attitude the moment I told her about the rotten lychees. It was downhill after that. This establishment needs to take some of the money from the overpriced meals and train their staff! I could go on but don't feel like it. Ambience 7/10 it was okay. The live entertainment for the night, Eric G made our night. His voice was amazing and he sang all the old school songs I grew up on. He definitely made the night what it was. IF and I mean if I go back, I will sit at the bar to watch them make my drinks and I will only order the apps I like. The 3 stars is ONLY because of entertainment or else I would have given 2 stars.

    Maybe as a ramen snob i had low expectations but I really liked this place. The ramen broth was…read morelegit authentic. And portions were very generous. The pork slices were big although I wouldn't say they are as good as those found in very traditional and higher end ramen places in NYC. But at this price point in the suburbs, the place is absolutely a 5-star. Look it's not Ippudo or Ichiran... it's part of a small group with various locations... but it's also not your typical suburbia mall Japanese spot either. The drinks are very well priced too. Service was very friendly, it's convenient with lots of parking, and they seem to be quite busy midweek for early dinner. I've yet to find a go-to ramen place in NJ... Ani Ramen is popular around here though I think this is better. It's good enough for this ramen snob to not make me want to drive into Manhattan to seek out ramen even if it's not exactly quite like the very best in the city.

So, realistically, I don't expect to find that same level of ramen here in the New York/New Jersey area. That being said, this place in West Orange definitely does the job. I tried the shrimp ramen, and I can honestly say it was very good. Is it the perfection you can experience in Osaka? No--and that would be an unfair comparison. But for what you can find around this area, this is easily one of the better bowls of ramen I've had. Good flavor, enjoyable broth, and a solid overall experience. If you're local and craving ramen, this place is definitely worth giving a try. Osaka set the bar very high for me, but this one gets my respect.
