Drinks just stuck to Water, did tried to order the Lavender lemonade but they forgot it ahh in the end not that big a deal. To start we gave the Fried Shrimp a try, very good nice dipping sauce. I gave the Black garlic ramen a try great tasting broth, very good ramen. Hubby had the Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen combo with the fried chicken, very good as well, good chicken nice & crispy. Small place, simple decor , service was not bad & decent prices we enjoyed our ramen.

Mango-ade was fizzy and sweet. Chicken karaage was really well cooked. This time I got the shrimp tempura set. Lots of good stuff in it including rice bowl with soft boiled egg, cabbage salad, miso soup and a huge bowl of shrimp + vegetable tempuras. Tempura were fluffy and crispy, not overcooked or burnt. Service was great. Food was served in fast pace. Overall we had a great lunch.

(I did that recently for a holiday dinner) To his credit it was probably 8-10 years since we had been there. I remembered it favorably and was looking forward to trying it again. Doesn't feel like it's aged particularly well. We were the only diners a bit after 6 on a Thursday. Waitress was pleasant. We started with 5 skewers. Various parts of the chicken, mostly pretty bland. Nothing was bad but nothing was noteworthy. Tried another round of 5 skewers, the one with the plum filling was a bit more enjoyable. In Yakitori 39's defense, we probably did it wrong. It's probably fun with a bunch of sake but I don't drink alcohol. The ingredients seem quality. Probably won't be rushing back.

The place is pretty tiny. Probably not the best for groups. I imagine it could get packed quickly…read more Overall I liked the vibe. Kind of cool seeing the chef tending to the grill. My dining partner and I were seated rather quickly. Our server took our drink orders and came back promptly so we could order our food. The menu is pretty extensive but we ordered an assortment of skewers and a bowl of ramen to share. The skewers came out little by little; about 3 skewers per plate. They didn't come all at once so I assume they bring them out as they finish getting grilled. The chicken heart was some of the best I've ever had. I'm not sure if it's the way it was sliced, the seasoning, or just everything about it but I wish we ordered more. The tail skewer was another standout. It had so much crunch that it was almost like it was fried. The flavors were rich and varied. Each skewer cost upwards of $4 so that's a bummer. Unfortunately the ramen wasn't so great. Not terrible, but not great either. Especially not great for $19. Not my first choice for ramen. Is it the most bang for your buck? Certainly not. But I did enjoy my meal and in the end, that's what matters.

The inside is super cute, and the display of the food is top notch. - Hand-roll set, (5/5): very worth your money! this entire set can definitely fill you up, and each of the hand rolls are so unique in flavor and super filling. I love the banchan as well, and my favorite is the edamame, which I think or flavored with miso butter?? - Pork Cutlet set, (4.5/5): got curry on the side as extra for $5, because it doesn't feel right to have tonkatsu without curry! The cutlet itself was fried very well, and it was not oily at all. it was on the sliiightly drier side, but I recommend getting it with the curry - Yuzu Cheesecake, (3.75/5): can taste the yuzu here, but the texture itself was a bit crumby, and I prefer a creamier texture. the serving size was also a bit small, and we felt that the strawberry didn't really pair well with the cheesecake overall I would come here again to try their other menu items! I heard their dons were pretty good. that's all from me thanks for reading :^)

Great spot in Fort Lee for high quality Japanese food in a nice yet casual setting. I especially…read morelove the lunch Gozen options. 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.

I got the yubu unagi and my friend got the yubu ikura. Both were really good, the rice used was very flavorful. It was a great appetizer. My friend loves fish roe and she said hers was very good. They are known for dipping ramen, but I didn't get that. I got the tonkotsu broth Ajitama because I didn't want that much meat and I wanted to make sure I got an egg. The broth was delicious, not too salty but very rich and umami in flavor. I love the addition of wood ear mushroom and the noodles had a great chewy texture. They have some claw machines in the front, it's $5 minimum spend which gets you 5 coins, each machine is one coin and there is one machine that gives you two tries for one coin. I ended up getting a prize! Not the one I wanted but was happy.

Sadly, the noodles were so overcooked they staged a rebellion, stubbornly sticking together into one dense, doughy ball before we could even dip them properly. The Chashu didn't fare much better--it was about 60% fat to 40% meat, which isn't a "premium cut" so much as a "choose-to-skip" cut. Worst of all was the kid's bowl: my daughter rejected it after a single salty sip (and kids are basically sodium vacuums). Overall, the quality has plummeted since our last visit. Guess some reunions just aren't meant to be.

Quick, on point service from the staff. 5. Tasty gyoza. 6. Fresh, delicious sushi whether you're looking for maki, nigiri, specialty rolls that I'm sure don't exist in Japan, or anything else. Truly, this is the dinner stop I've been looking for on Route 17. Everyone in my family enjoyed it. We have yet to try the ramen, but I see it in our future on a winter stop.

The inside is spacious and clean. Staff are friendly and service was fast.

What started as a handful of niche noodle shops is now a full-on culinary movement. All across Jersey, ramen chefs are crafting rich broths, house-made noodles, and inventive toppings that delight the senses. Located on State Street in Hackensack, I frequent this establishment numerous times during the year. Ramen Azuma pours out their soul in preparing perfectly the classic Japanese cuisine. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the staff and got an empty table by the window inside their cozy and inviting vibe. Their menu features a wide selection of ramen, curry, and appetizers. I decided on their newest edition--Wonton Ramen and 3 pieces of Fried Chicken. The savory ramen soup was filled with shrimp wontons. Even though they were very thin wonton wrappers with a smaller amount of filling, they tasted consistent with other shrimp wontons from past restaurants, accompanied by Menma Bamboo, Scallions, and Egg. The Fried Chicken was well seasoned. The food overall remained authentic and incredibly flavorful and on point. The portion was very generous. Friendly service, and the price was reasonable. Make sure one comes on an empty stomach.

I'm not a food snob, but this is offensive. I can have a full meal of Shin Ramen. This is worse, much worse. I can count on one hand the number of times I quit eating cuz of how bad the food is. This is one of them. Literally felt nauseous and sick halfway thru. Show some respect for your customers, Kailani. Your ice cream is decent. Don't sell ramen. 1/5 for the ramen. 4/5 for the ice cream. Out of courtesy I'm giving 3 stars total.
