This is just a cute little local restaurant owned by an auntie who is both running the kitchen, serving the customers, and helping clean up. It definitely gives off the most homey vibes. I went ahead and ordered the Bulgogi Kimchi Tofu Stew. I do not eat beef so I kindly asked if they could sub pork instead and they were happy to do so! This came out bubbling hot and was an absolute delight for the palette. Ahri's Kitchen is also BYOB so we got to enjoy our favorite drinks on the side. Overall, loved this place, especially for the atmosphere! Will be back!

This place is so quaint and cute, perfect for a date. We went here for dinner on a Friday night and…read moreit wasn't terribly crowded. There are only a few tables inside and outside so we got lucky. We had the vegetable waffles which were delicious. The soy sauce that comes with the waffles was especially good. My date had the vegetable gimbop and I had the tofu bibimbap. The tofu bibimbap was good but the egg wasn't great on top. The spicy sauce that came with the bibimbap was delicious. I would go back here again and try to the kimichi fries. Service was pretty good! It's a casual place so my expectations for service were not high and I was pleased with it.

I brought my bowl up to the front expecting to find a squeeze bottle of some type of chili sauce, but was instead offered a cup of chili sauce that I'd have to pay an extra $1 for, or packets of hot sauce that wouldn't pair well. I declined since I already paid too much for my meal, but the manager (owner?) was very nice and brought a cup to my table - unfortunately this chili sauce is a sweet sauce and not a spicy sauce, so it went to waste. The storefront is very clean though and the woman behind the desk was perfectly nice, the manager was also very friendly and clearly cares a lot about customer service. I'd definitely go back and give something else a try.

From the moment we walked in, the owner personally seated us and ended up cooking our food himself. He has a quirky, memorable personality that adds to the charm of the whole experience. It's the kind of place where you can tell the food is made with intention rather than being rushed out of a big commercial kitchen. The dishes were packed with flavor and tasted very authentic. You can really tell the ingredients and spices are balanced the way Thai food should be -- bold, savory, a little spicy, and deeply satisfying. Everything we ordered had great texture and presentation as well. Overall, it was a unique dining experience with authentic flavors and a memorable host. If you're looking for a polished corporate restaurant this isn't it -- but if you want something personal, quirky, and genuinely delicious, Prince & I is absolutely worth visiting. Would definitely come back!!

I've dined in, ordered for pick up, and gotten deliveries from them countless of times and they're always consistent. Favorite items from them are the sashimi regular (comes with miso soup and salad) and the spicy girl roll (a must)! Their service here is great as well - super nice and friendly over the phone and in person.

Very decent sushi. I got the lunch special which was two rolls, soup, and salad…read more The salad was decent, not quite the addicting dressing I hope to get at a Japanese place, but not bad. The soul was typical miso soup. For the rolls, I got the Alaskan and spicy tuna. They were both very well filled and fresh. The spicy tuna was a bit too spicy for me, but that is just a personal preference. The vibes were nice, the service was fairly quick, no flash. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to go back but if I were in the area, I may return.

A neat little spot with fun, creative Asian-fusion dumplings, but the overall execution and pricing…read moreleft me a bit on the fence. The Good: The concept is cool, and you can tell they put a lot of thought into unconventional dumpling stuffings and unique flavor pairings. The Bad: For a casual dumpling and noodle joint, it ends up being surprisingly pricey. Also, some of the fusion flavor profiles can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on your palate--not every creative combo quite hits the mark. It's a fun spot to check out if you're looking to try something different, but given the price and mixed flavor results, I'm probably in no rush to make it a regular rotation.

Perhaps a more unexpected success was the $4 side of kimchi, fiery but multi-faceted and benefited from a cucumber cameo. If I ever run for political office to promote my pro-modularity views I'll be sure to praise the side items here. I applaud the brisk preparation/delivery and the late hours.

We ordered from Ani Ramen based off of a friend's rave review and recommendation…read more We ordered delivery in early February. It was our first time trying Ani Ramen. Delivery was quick. Order was correct. And it will be our last time though. We ordered kurobuta sausage, a side of soy glazed chicken, side of garlic yu choy, side of yaki-pulled pork, the pork bowl, and Tokyo shoyu ramen. The side dishes were great. That's all we would have ordered had we known. The Tokyo shoyu ramen was awful, unflavorful and way overpriced. Egg costs extra for ramen... bizarre. All other places add everything for the same price and way better flavor. Noodles overcooked. Pork bowl also bland. This place is a pass for us. We miss vivi bubble in Hoboken. They had the best ramen. :(

Burrito had awesome flavor and the corn bread was not only huge but also very moist and great flavor as well. Portions were big but also a little pricey, which is to be expected in a city setting and for how "upscale" the place is! The reason I put it in quotes is because it's not necessarily a fine dining establishment but not a hole in the wall authentic Mexican place if you get what I mean. Decor is all very modern and authentic with great music playing and big TVs. Service was great, bartender and hostess were very nice and welcoming and food came out quick! Definitely a cool little spot for a quick bite!
