Clam chowder
Beau B.

We came here for lunch to celebrate my Mother's birthday. Great food, service and atmosphere! We had the Tuna Tartare which was amazing. The blackened fish over ceaser salad was cooked perfectly. And the clam chowder was good to the last drop. The music was perfect.

Spring Lake business district has a charming small town air. They even rent some Seward Johnson (Grounds for Sculpture) sculptures of various ordinary people. You might wander around town and check these out before or after your meal. Arugula is a small BYOB restaurant. So, make a reservation and bring your favorite wine. The ambiance is charming. Last evening, Teresa was our attentive and funny server. We started sharing the Eggplant Tower, tasty and certainly big enough for two. And, entrees come with a small house salad. For entrees, we had Ahi Tuna Steak and Drunken Swordfish. All these fish dinners are $33. Both dinners were quite good. Chef George has an extensive menu, surprising for such a small place. We had no room for dessert. Overall, a pleasant dining adventure (first time for us here). We will return.

Came here for an early dinner on a Thursday-- outside patio seating (Covid compliant). The menu has so many great options, it's hard to make a decision on what to get-- just means multiple visits are in the future. Service was amazing and the food was SO flavorful-- equally as amazing. Would absolutely recommend and will be back.

Personal note on back of menu.

We went to Arugula this weekend and I truly am amazed at the diversity of the menu and the vibrancy of the staff. Chef George is a visionary and his menu items are unique and carefully crafted. I had the seafood diavolo and my fiancé had the chicken francese. It was perfectly cooked. As an appetizer we had the calamari and the cheesy bread bites. So delicious and marinated in garlic. I loved how the calamari also had an aoli sauce and a marinara sauce option to choose from. They had outdoor seating and indoor seating which is perfect for catching some sun. Can't wait to try the Godiva chicken!! Arugula, as a Doctor of Pharmacy, is pharmacist approved well done!

Soon as we walked in, initially saw people waiting to be seated, but were seated immediately…read more Atmosphere is spacious but Japanese inspired: paper lanterns, geometric fabrics, possibly some feng shui? Moving onto the actual service, waitress took the alcohol order at the same time as the food order; Boyfriend who used to work in high end food service said it's usually a bad sign. Was proven wrong, thankfully. Ordered the Yuzu drop, thought it would be more punchy but it was on point for yuzu. He got the eel dragon and firecracker rolls, I chose the bluefin tuna and salmon nigiri (with one unagi/eel, which I hated) We absolutely devoured our food, which is why there are no pictures attached to the review. The salmon was so buttery smooth, and the tuna was so meaty and flavorful, I ordered an extra helping as sashimi! IT IS THAT GOOD! Besides the banging baby at the other table (not the restaurant's fault) it was one of the best walk-in experiences I've had to date! Will definitely recommend and repeat visit!

Taka is located on the corner of a busy street in Asbury Park and is deceptively huge restaurant…read more Lovely calming interior colors (wood and red tones) with simply appointed decor and intimate lighting. The sushi is fresh and tasty, we enjoyed the seared scallop appetizer. My sushi (Tiger roll) was magnificent. The Yuzu lobster roll could have had a bit less rice in the roll but was otherwise very enjoyable. The combination of fish in this roll paired very nicely together. Taka has a vast menu with many options from appetizers to specialty sushi options. They provide alcoholic and non alcoholic mocktails for those of us not interested in consuming liquor.....the mocktails are fantastic. The only thing that made me rate 4 instead of 5 stars was the staff needs a bit of work on serving. We ordered an appetizer and were also given two additional small plates since we were sharing this item. When we were done with the appetizer our specialty sushi plates were bought out and the same server left the three empty plates from the appetizers on the table instead of removing them. Dessert was absolutely decadent and moist (I omitted the whipped cream since I don't like it) but the shortcake was perfect without it. I look forward to returning to Taka and trying more items on the menu.

I keep coming back to MOGO on Cookmam, one of my go-to spots in Asbury right now!…read more Food-wise, the pork burrito is my staple, especially with the veggie fried rice mixed in, it adds this perfect texture and makes the whole thing feel extra satisfying. The flavors are bold, well-seasoned, and consistent every time. The buldok cheesesteak is also a standout sandwich, spicy and cheesy. Don't skip the pickle bar either! The pickled cucumbers and spicy pear sauce are my favorites and honestly elevate everything. Bonus points for the strawberry lychee drink, which is super refreshing. Service is always friendly and easygoing, and even after 20+ visits over the past six months, it still feels welcoming. They also do a great job keeping things interesting, there's always something new or a collab popping up, which keeps me curious enough to try different items. This spot is perfect if you're into bold, Korean-inspired street food and like having some room to customize your order. If you're new, try a couple things before locking in your favorite, but trust me, you'll find one.

Literally the best tacos I have ever had. Top 5 foodie spots for me. Seriously, you guys have to…read moretry this place. Gourmet well thought out flavor profiles, incredible. 10/10. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming as well. Place is very clean and well maintained. Will most definitely be returning here anytime I'm in the area.
