    Clean place, all takeout tho aside from a couple of tables in the parking lot
    Kevin W.

    This is definitely one of the most pleasant culinary surprises I've experienced so far this year. First off, don't let the takeout-esque vibe throw you off. Personally, I wasn't quite sure of the place myself initially but decided to give it a shot after I drove by the location again. It was a good decision. The inside is just a sushi bar/kitchen area, not a dining area. There are a few tables outside in their parking lot area (which is a plus). I decided to try both an entree and sushi option to see how the food fared on both ends. The beef teriyaki lunch was actually excellent. The flavor of the sauce was A+ and the beef was tender, savory and well-cooked. Maybe I was hungry, but I wolfed it down very quickly. The tuna roll was also quite good. The fish was fresh with excellent texture and the rice/fish ratio was just right. Word was the chef is quite experienced and based on the food I had, this definitely was reflected in the quality of both the beef and tuna dishes I had. The price to food quality ratio was also solid and definitely offered good value for the money. The folks here are super friendly and really pleasant to customers. The order came out in a timely manner and I personally think this is a real hidden gem in the area. I will definitely be back as I really enjoyed both aspects of my excellent lunch. It's nice to see another good new dining option in the area.

    sushi & sashimi platter!
    Elisha H.

    Pros: 1. LOTS of variety in their menu! 2. BEAUTIFUL platters for small or large parties. 3. FRESH FISH with a beautiful layout. 4. Great place if you want fast and good sushi for you and your friends. 5. WONDERFUL service! They actually messed up our order so we had 10 extra pieces of sushi! Cons: NONE!

    Fatty tuna & Uni
    Jenny C.

    Akasaka is very much a hole in the wall sort of place, and a true hidden gem. Although the prices aren't cheap, they are definitely very reasonable, particularly for the quality. Fresh sushi, super friendly staff, and within walking distance of home, what's not to love? They even gave us an extra piece of fatty tuna! Definitely will be coming back!

    Spicy salmon and tuna belly
    Edie N.

    Very great service! The chef greeted me himself and offered me a few suggestions on the menu. I got the spicy salmon roll, the weekly special tuna belly and the suno mono. The suno mono was so refreshing to start with, definitely a must. The spicy salmon was so fresh. It was my first time trying tuna belly so I was a little nervous but I actually loved it! I personally feel like it is better than typical tuna roll. So good!

    Small sushi platter (perfect for 2)
    Doris Y.

    5 stars. 10/10. I just had the most AMAZING, FRESH, AUTHENTIC, and DELICIOUS sushi take out in my entire life. It's hard to find a good sushi take out spot to rely on in this area. Both the quality and quantity of the small sushi platter I ordered exceeded my expectations. I've tried sushi at many other places so I always have very high expectations and I am a sushi snob. This place is truly a hidden gem. I wish they would open as a eat in restaurant because their sushi is amazing! The small sushi platter came with 20 pieces of sushi (I had 6 pieces of buttery, fresh TORO in there, salmon, tuna, and the rest) & a special roll & and a regular roll. Each piece just MELTED in my mouth. Remember when you order the platters, the rolls are always chef's choice. The special sushi roll was ALSO delicious and the salmon avocado roll was spectacular. The staff working here are so friendly and treat you like family. They packed the sushi and miso soups very carefully. You can tell they work very hard. The chef has many years of experience with sushi, working in Tokyo, Japan. He told me that I wouldn't be disappointed and he was right! I am ecstatic this spot opened up in Fort Lee and I can't wait to go back again. Call and place an order NOW, you won't regret it! :)

    Peace L.

    Our go-to for special occasions. I've never been disappointed. Simply the best- so much fresh deliciousness and attention to detail. great customer service too!

    This is definitely a one time place. Now I know I really should pay attention to negative reviews. They are there for reasons. No one patronizes an establishment intending to give a bad review, they do it with expectation of great experience of their product or services. Having said that, I even let them know I am new to the area and this is my first time ordering. Maybe I should have lowered my expectations? I have never had "Delux Sushi" consisting of only four types fish. Typical of tuna, salmon and two white fish of rather low grade. Usually expect to see eels, shrimp, squid if not more but was I wrong! Oh, one thing that turned me off even more was the fish was warm to touch. Simply put, this was not worth the container it was placed in. A one time place indeed. Dispointed......

    Sushi & roll platter MEDIUM
    Kayan W.

    Great sushi platters! We've gotten the sushi & roll platters several times (even on a Tuesday, typically a no-no day for sushi), and each time the fish was super fresh and flavorful. Customer service was fast and friendly. It's now our go-to place for crowd pleasing sushi platters!!

    I asked for the rice to be on the outside not the inside. What's with the rolls not together? Wtf!
    Joanne F.

    The person who answers the phones should speak and understand English a little bit better than the person now. I repeated my phone number two or three times and they still got it wrong. The number 0 and the number 2 sound nothing alike. I ordered one cucumber roll and I asked them to put the rice. Of course the rice was on the inside. I don't think I will be returning. Very disappointed! Very frustrating trying to communicate with the sky over the phone.

This one is older and the ambience is not quite as nice/private, but we had a great meal here. I love their sets! The sashimi is incredibly fresh. I'm usually not a huge fan of Korean oysters, but the ones we had here were the freshest I've ever had. Next time I come I will probably ask for the fresh fluke (?) sashimi to come out first before the assorted sashimi, because that was the absolute best and it was a shame we barely had room left to enjoy it. Service was very friendly and they even gave us the live octopus appetizer on the house because it was my FIL's birthday, which was very sweet of them.

It's such great value with so many delicious appetizers before the star of the show - the sashimi! Of note, some of the appetizers are definitely an acquired taste (e.g. the raw sea squirt, oyster & abalone(?) platter) & are not my favorite. However, I love the octopus salad, the croquettes, the fried fish, the steamed egg, (honestly there are too many to name -- you should come here to experience it!!). After the delicious sashimi which is enjoyed with sesame oil & seaweed, you also get a handball & seafood soup w the fish bones ). We're usually so full by the end that we take the soup to go for the next day! The 2 person set is definitely big enough for 3. If you come with a bigger group, it comes with lobster which is also delicious and elevates the soup! I also recommend the "live" octopus which is fun to eat as it slightly moves in your mouth (it is already dead when you eat it but because it is so recently killed, the reflexes are still intact). Service is pretty fast & responsive as well! It's great for families, dates, and hangouts.

I ordered the Unagi Don Gozen ($42)- it came with a whole tray of different delicious items, with the star of the show being a generous amount of unagi (eel) over rice. The eel was cooked very well and the rice was flavorful with a bit of sweetness. There was also a small bowl of udon noodles, some sashimi, a crispy tempura shrimp in a yummy creamy sauce, flavorful edamame, mashed potato with corn, and some pickled veggies - quite the diverse array, all of which was tasty. The restaurant itself has a rather simple yet elegant Japanese wooden design. The prices suggest it's a more high end place, but the vibe is actually rather casual. The staff are very attentive and the service speed is pretty quick. Overall, I would definitely give Moru 4.5 stars if I could. I think it's great for most types of occasions, and the only reasons it's not getting 5 stars is because I do think the prices are a tad higher than I would've hoped and I think they could've done a bit more in terms of designing the place to match the price point. That being said, I still highly recommend Moru, especially for a nice lunch.

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.

If you are thinking, no need to think. Go! Trust me! You won't regret it! First of all, the sushi chefs are Japanese, so you know that the sushi is going to be legit. And it was busy there from customers and take-out, so you know that everything will be fresh, too. There were so many options to choose from the menu, so I had to ask for a recommendation. My friend and I were recommended to try the omakase option and, boy, that was a perfect choice! There were 3 types of omakase and we chose the first one. -Sushi omakase - $70 -Sashimi omakase - $80 -Sushi & sashimi omakase - $90 This was my first omakase experience where I walked out super full and impressed. -We were advised to eat each piece without soy sauce because each piece was curated with their own unique flavors. -After our first bite, we were advised that we could ask the sushi chef to adjust the rice and wasabi ratio in each sushi piece. We decided to keep it as is. -The wasabi here is really good, but spicy, so if you can't handle the spiciness, definitely ask for less. I was crying because of the wasabi but I didn't want it to be adjust because it was so good. -On the menu, it states that you have 2 hours, which allowed us to enjoy the omakase at a nice pace. -The udon soup you get in the end is made with hand-cut, chewy noodles and it was a perfect ending. -And this omakase also includes a dessert at the end, which was a perfect sweet ending. I hope you made the right decision to come here for your sushi craving/experience. Once you come here, I bet this will be your regular sushi spot. Tips: -Yamagata in a small shopping plaza with parking, but it fills up fast. There is metered parking on the street if needed. -This place is cozy and intimate, so if you are planning to come at a busy time, I would suggest calling to make a reservation. -For the omakase experience, if you can, sit at the sushi counter so that you could get the full experience by getting each sushi piece from the sushi chef.
