    Edamame
    Cyn C.

    I was in the area and decided to try this spot. Immediately upon walking in, we were seated with no wait. It was a Friday evening but there was plenty of seating available. We sat down and gave our order of edamame and sweet potato rolls to start. The wait for this was about 15-20 minutes. We then placed our main dish order. We ordered the chicken teriyaki and a small order of chicken fried rice. This took a while to come and they never brought out the chicken fried rice. When the bill came, I noticed the chicken fried rice was not on there, so obviously she never wrote that down. The quality of the food was sub par. The edamame was okay. The sweet potato rolls were probably the worst I've ever had. They were definitely crispy, however there was BARELY any sweet potato in there. It might as well have been all rice. The chicken teriyaki was awful. It tasted like fake chicken. The texture was so bad. The flavor of the teriyaki was good but that's about it. Servers were nice, but due to the long wait to get the food, and the quality of it, I wouldn't return.

    Amazingly calm ambiance! The most clean and spacious Korean BBQ we've gone to, and we are from Hawaii. I feel the variety of meats is sufficient. The employees were very helpful and they offer to cook for you as well.

    Went after lunch during the week with my family, place has a nice ambiance. They offer both Japanese and Korean food with in table BBQ grilling. I must say we usually go to Fort Lee and Korea town in NYC so our standards are pretty high. The sashimi and sushi boat for two was good and expensive. The spicy pork bulgogi was the same as some Korean restaurants we've been too. The marinated short rib could use more flavor, I only say this because we've had the most succulent, tasty, and tender marinated short rib in Fort Lee and always go there for that dish. The banchans (side dishes) are not as much as you would get in the city or in Jersey. Take note: their dipping sauce is a citrus soy sauce, no the typical sesame oil and salt. Do be careful with your knees if you sit at the BBQ table, since the short table has a big base underneath and you will bang your knees on them. The service was good as the server does cook your food at the table like those in the city. Overall, if you want a good Korean BBQ in the New Windsor area, be sure to check this place out.

    Beautiful refreshing place! Decor is absolutely stunning, very modern and inviting. Service has been great every single time and the meals are good, their menu has various options to pick from, something for everyone. There is always parking available,so no issue there. Definitely will keep coming, just keep in mind they are on the slow side when it comes to the meal arriving to the table.

    Randomly found this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon, and the sushi menu looked great! A few combination platters available along with Korean BBQ, Kimchi, and teriyaki dishes. Something for everyone. The dining area is pretty chic, a great place for date night. The service was very attentive and don't forget to ask for complimentary tea. I sampled the spider roll, and Q roll, and my mom enjoyed the chicken teriyaki. Will be back sometime for cocktails!

    We finally found our sushi place! We've been here twice and haven't been disappointed yet. The service here has been great and all the servers are professional and polite. This place is still new but we hope it does well.

    tried lunch here and i do like the inside, it's pretty here and has a classy look. The servers pretty quickly got me a table and my drinks, but I have to say i was sort of forgotten for bit till one of servers noticed they did not even take my food order, so glad they made it up. So i got the angry papa roll, man never had a sushi roll that was so filling and like an entree itself. Really it was a great roll for sure and one i would gladly have again. I got the bulgoki, the beef was very tender, and all veggies were just right, I like the little sides they give of kani salad, kimchi and seaweed salad and a bowl of white rice. pretty awesome place and very much worth it.

    Had lunch today at Joa Joa and it was amazing! It definitely passed the vibe check. Classy yet laid back and fun. Clean. We enjoyed every minute here. Loved the ambiance. The servers were prompt, very friendly, and courteous. The food itself was delicious and fresh, and definitely worth the wait. We tried the Shrimp Tempura roll, California roll, and the Sweet Potato Tempura Roll. My favorite was the Sweet Potato Tempura Roll. It was the perfect combination of sweet and savory. We also ordered a large chicken fried rice, which was more than plenty to share, and then we had plenty of leftovers to take home. Can't wait to go back and try their other dishes! We'll be back.

    Not a bad sushi place! While sushi is a little scarce in this area, Joa Joa is a solid option with a very nice high class Interior and a friendly staff. We went on a Tuesday night and was quite crowded! Had a bit of a wait but there were no idle hands on deck. We got some simple sushi, a crab roll and a sweetheart roll, both were quite good! Not the best sushi I've had but it was all very good and would happily go back for more!

    Do we need a reservation for this restaurant?

    My Husband and I didn't have any reservation we just walked in on a Saturday and had no problems. But if you want to play it safe make a reservation anyway just in case they might prefer reservations instead of someone just walking in to the…

    Asahi Poke & Tea - My friend's mix of his two favorite sushi! Made fresh on the spot!!

    Beacons is a lovely small town with potential to grow as a thriving micro downtown. There's a…read morebrewery (my favorite of all breweries) and plenty of vintage shopping. What it does lack, however, is a standalone boba shop. While Asahi is, first and foremost, a poke restaurant, it does offer a selection of boba teas and slushies. The weather had just turned from dreary cold to summery hot, so I was craving my favorite Asian drink. After some hand-wringing (I couldn't decide which one to get), I finally settled on an iced strawberry tea with milk foam. I wasn't confident in my order, but all my anxieties allayed at first sip. It was delicious! The boba was soft, the strawberry flavors came through strongly without tasting artificial, and the milk foam added a complex layer of creaminess and saltiness that elevated the drink altogether. Even my husband, who's not much of a boba drinker, thought it was great (and kept stealing sips). If you're in Beacon and you're suddenly hit with a hankering for boba, try Asahi.

The place was clean and the service was friendly and efficient. Overall, a good experience and definitely somewhere I'd return when I'm in the mood for poke or sushi. Nothing completely blew me away, but everything was well prepared and enjoyable. 4/5 -- fresh, friendly, and worth another visit.

The restaurant wasnt especially busy but it seems that they were dealing with delivery orders and had little time for the restaurant patrons. We asked about one of the dishes as my friend is allergic to gluten. The waitress was very bothered by our question. The food was good. But the service was terrible. I might think twice before going back.

    7/11/25. Haven't been here for a while, so we thought we'd try it again…read more The staff is very pleasant and cordial; no rush to turn tables. Tried an ice cold Sapporo before the meal. Much more refreshing than my usual Coke. Ordered the shrimp teriyaki bento, comes with miso soup or salad. My friend had the sushi/sashimi lunch. The soup was good and the salad well drained. Most places don't bother using a salad spinner; the dressing gets watered down. =( The shrimp were cooked to perfection. Not curled up little hockey pucks. The Vegetables were al dente, not close to baby food mush. Her sushi/sashimi meal was tasty. The proteins were fresh, no fishy smell. The prices won't break the bank. Speaking of the Bank; you can use Chase's Wi-Fi. The decor is low-key and sort of romantic. They were high chairs. We made a good choice today.
