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.

We ordered two curry dishes - pork katsu and chicken karaage. They were so good. The breading was crispy but not oily. The protein was thick and juicy. Super moist. The curry was seasoned well. The restaurant was staffed by a hostess/waitress and a single cook. Really small operation with a small retail footprint. It's nice because they have a small parking lot in the back, too. They were really friendly. The food came out reasonably quickly considering that there was only one person preparing food.

Soba noodle azuma has been our #1 spot for soba noodles! I literally get excited when my husband…read moresays, "Soba?" My answer is always an immediate, "OMGOSH YES," and we know exactly where we're going -- Soba Noodle Azuma. We always get the cold soba combo, LARGE PLEASE. The soba is just SOOO good -- the right chew, the right temperature, the right texture, and the right amount. I used to get the small, now I get the large, but if I can't finish it, my husband will. We've gotten the combos with salmon sashimi, katsu, curry, chicken egg bowl, and the beef bowl. All were good, just depends on what you're craving that day for a little extra something on the side from your soba. And we ALWAYS get their cucumber appetizer. We love our cucumber apps, so we usually get it at every restaurant if it's on the menu, but azuma makes it THE BEST. We also had their okonomiyaki one time. It was really good and very filling, but I feel like it was over-sauced (but im also not a "saucey" type of person). They have other great things on their menu that we want to try, but we just can't get enough of their soba! They're BYOB, so that's a nice little perk if you want to have some light drinks during lunch or dinner. I want to go there with some sake one night and try all of their appetizers. Also, it's easy on the wallet for such good food and it's so filling. Great food, great value, nice casual and cozy atmosphere. The servers are straightforward and polite. There's street parking right in front if you can snag one, and there's also parking at the municipal parking area.

Their udon is the best and soup is full of flavors you can tell they make it there. I always get their Azuma Gozen, and although I notice the quantity of each side dish decreasing very slightly, it's still a wonderful mix. The tempura is perfect, pork is nice and tender, sashimi fresh All this for 25$ is great, and even if you prefer soba they will allow you to choose 100/200/300 grams for no upcharge. Also had takoyaki, you get 5 pieces it's amazing and soft too Service is respectful and amazing. The overall music and design of the place is relaxing. I felt like it was winter again sitting there.

Heard a lot of great things about this place, so this place has been on my list for quite awhile…read moreand finally made it. If you want amazing, fresh, and supreme sushi, this is the place! If you are thinking, no need to think. Go! Trust me! You won't regret it! First of all, the sushi chefs are Japanese, so you know that the sushi is going to be legit. And it was busy there from customers and take-out, so you know that everything will be fresh, too. There were so many options to choose from the menu, so I had to ask for a recommendation. My friend and I were recommended to try the omakase option and, boy, that was a perfect choice! There were 3 types of omakase and we chose the first one. -Sushi omakase - $70 -Sashimi omakase - $80 -Sushi & sashimi omakase - $90 This was my first omakase experience where I walked out super full and impressed. -We were advised to eat each piece without soy sauce because each piece was curated with their own unique flavors. -After our first bite, we were advised that we could ask the sushi chef to adjust the rice and wasabi ratio in each sushi piece. We decided to keep it as is. -The wasabi here is really good, but spicy, so if you can't handle the spiciness, definitely ask for less. I was crying because of the wasabi but I didn't want it to be adjust because it was so good. -On the menu, it states that you have 2 hours, which allowed us to enjoy the omakase at a nice pace. -The udon soup you get in the end is made with hand-cut, chewy noodles and it was a perfect ending. -And this omakase also includes a dessert at the end, which was a perfect sweet ending. I hope you made the right decision to come here for your sushi craving/experience. Once you come here, I bet this will be your regular sushi spot. Tips: -Yamagata in a small shopping plaza with parking, but it fills up fast. There is metered parking on the street if needed. -This place is cozy and intimate, so if you are planning to come at a busy time, I would suggest calling to make a reservation. -For the omakase experience, if you can, sit at the sushi counter so that you could get the full experience by getting each sushi piece from the sushi chef.

Not to mention, it's open really late so...if you have a hankering for sushi or Japanese food at an ungodly hour, this place will scratch that itch. I'm not a sushi lover, but I love me some Japanese food. I love that Raku's menu is tapa-styled so you can order a bunch of small plates for yourself or to share. One thing I will say - the quality of food is not as consistent as it should be. Everything here is very good, but some days it is better than others, which is why I will only give it four stars instead of five. Some of my favorite dishes: fried shishito peppers, fried rice (probably some of the the best fried rice in the area), karaage, agedashi tofu, and the garlic steak - all bangers. Fort Lee is known for its incredible Asian food, and Raku is definitely a casual spot to add to your list!

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.

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.

The interior is very modern and sleek with clean lines.There is a counter with about 10 seats and 2 other tables so reservations are a must. There are purse hooks under the counter which is great because it can get a little tight. The omakase experience is an intimate, 16-course meal. The fish is super fresh. The fatty tuna was by far my favorite course that melted in my mouth. I also really enjoyed the Black Sesame crème brûlée and wish I had more! Service was good and there was someone who came around to pour more wine. Sushi chefs were friendly and happy to answer questions. Parking is challenging, but that's normal for the Fort Lee area. Highly recommend checking out Sushi Kai for a unique experience.

My personal favorite was the black sesame creme brulee. It added a dimension of business and toned down the sweetness of traditional creme brulee. Service was top notch and the ambiance was great. There was one other couple during our dining slot so the chef was really like our personal chef. I'd definitely return.
