Servings continue to be large - we got five entrées and a roll for four adults and two preteens, and it was still too much food! But I'll never say no to leftovers. The Spice is Right roll was the perfect bite for a starter. XO Fat Noodles remains my favorite, but the group favorite of the night was the Orange Beef; General Tsos Chicken and Pad Thai (x2) also did not disappoint. BYOB. Great ambience. We keep eating too much for dinner, so haven't tried dessert. But we will be back!

I came here with a big party and our food came out quickly and correctly, which was great! The food itself honestly really surprised me. The sushi they had was delicious and fresh. The ramen was also really great as well. The portions were huge and the price was very very cheap. There are a few tables in here, so you can eat inside if you wish, but I saw a lot of people getting take out as well. Would recommend!!

I decide to do takeout since I don't want to wait for a seat and all the tables are for 2 and 4. The bar was taken up by 6 friends and they left 5 minutes after I ordered.

When I got home to eat my Seaweed Salad and Paradise Roll, I understood why this business does well.

Rolls are the quality you'd get from any NY bodega / deli. Fish was not fresh. Rice was dry. The Japanese entrees were not any better. The batter on the tempura was very thick.

Very unfortunately on an extreme cold Tuesday night there was little or no heat in the seating. Albeit people still came and filled up the space. Might say that that shows people like it enough to bear the very cold eating experience. Mgmt apologized and stated there was a pipe issue that came up. Service was prompt and friendly. We only ordered rolls, not realizing there was a ramen special that night. Sushi was fresh and tasty, miso soup and salad were good portions. We rushed through meal as it was very cold to sit there and linger. BYOB.

We wanted to celebrate Fathers Day with 3 dads with a total of 10 of us tonight. We arrived around…read more5:30p and it wasn't very crowded and we were seated immediately. That sadly was the best part of the night. We ordered; 8 AYCE and 2 ordered ala carte. My wife's vegetarian and doesn't eat much and my mom doesn't eat raw sushi and ordered the teriyaki shrimp. 1. The service is horrible. We waited 20mins to get our first appetizers. The waitress just dropped off plates and didn't explain what they were. My mom noticed the table next to us ordered what she got and a few minutes later, the waitress asked if she received her entree, which she replied no, and then she went to the table next to us and grabbed their plate and brought it back to the kitchen. We assume they reheated and replated the dish because it was way overcooked. 2. Long wait. Some items didn't arrived after over an hour and we asked about them multiple times. As we were ordering our 2nd round, we just reordered them. We got our waters refilled often but they never checked in to see if we were receiving our food or if we wanted to order more. Like they didn't ask one time. 3. Lost in translation. My parents are immigrants, so I am pretty understanding but the waitress didn't understand much of what I was saying and when I asked for extra ginger while pointing at it she looked very confused. I also asked her what a few items were when she brought them, and she didn't respond. 4. 10% coupon: don't bother trying to use the 10% off coupon from their own website. When we asked for the check, I showed her the coupon and she looked confused like I made it up and I let her know it was from their website under "coupons". She went to the back to ask about it and returned to say it was for online orders only. I mentioned that the coupon doesn't have any fine print except it can't be used with any other offers, and she didn't try to help at all which was frustrating. At the end of the day, it was probably one of the worst meals I've ever had. The food quality was ok except for my mom getting a reheated meal. But the service was terrible. It sucks to have to wait so long for food and things coming out randomly and my son and wife waiting over an hour for their items while others are pretty much done. Save yourself the aggravation and try something else.

In what appears to be a converted fast-food outlet, this Ichiban location along Rt 35 delivers a very entertaining, capable dinner that was probably drowned in MSG but who am I kidding, MSG tastes great. My Salmon was terrific with copious amounts of fried rice, Lo Mein and grilled vegetables riding shotgun. Compared to what I could have had "dining" at nearby Monmouth Racetrack, this was a meal fit for an Emperor. An easy five stars.

Standout appetizers included the seaweed salad, avocado cucumber roll (we split that as an app for the table) and the miso soup. I got the vegetarian hibachi! It was a bit too oily for my liking and I definitely needed to doctor it up with some hot sauce/ soy sauce, but it was solid for what it was. Perhaps next time I will try more sushi options or get hibachi fresh

Tried the tan-tong which was just a blob of cream cheese in a wonton wrapper. Served with no sauce. Got a ginger salad, came warm and the dressing smelled off like it's been fermenting.
