I'm not entirely sure why I schlepped all the way here for Hallmark's biggest holiday. Or why I had sushi in a town famous for.....Korean food. But there are a lot of things in this world that don't make sense, and I'm no Vulcan. Anywho, the food was just okay. We started with Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice that had way, wayyyy too much mayo. It was more like sriracha aioli with a side of fried rice. Somewhere in all that creamy coral was fish, but my senses couldn't really detect it. The Crab Cream Croquettes were better, but--being totally on brand, it seems--there was much more cream than seafood. The Mentaiko Basil Pasta was pretty to behold, but I learned that I don't like my pasta cold. And spinach really can't make up for a lack of basil, no matter how much chlorophyll you get. Next came my entree: the Moru Don. Pretty to behold. Fresh to the taste. But unfortunately, my don came with a thick layer of negitoro--and there was way more negi than toro. Anyone who knows me knows I loathe scallions. I think they're the devil's herb. They're the plant equivalent of your worst Hinge date dunked into a sea of your biggest childhood traumas and then glazed with your deepest fears. They taste like rotten onions crying at their own funeral. I hate them. And I normally never have to encounter them in a chirashi bowl. But Moru decided to be different and mash their maguro with a billion slices of this unholy herb. So I was cursed to encounter it in every bite of my dinner, no matter how hard I tried. I tried praying. I touched garlic. I burned sage. But I couldn't escape the negi. The only respite I got was to try a bit of the Spicy Blue Crab Crispy Rice and Shiso Yellowtail Premium Handroll. The former didn't have enough crab, and the latter lacked adequate shiso. So no winning there either. Anyway, many hard lessons were learned from this meal, but the hardest lesson of all was not to go all the way to Fort Lee for chirashi. Even if is a *little* more affordable than Manhattan.

service- 5/5 attentive and super friendly staff Food- 5/5 both dishes, lunch Maru don set and hand roll set were phenomenal! The portion was great and the side dishes complimented the main dish so well. All the ingredients tasted super fresh, and they highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients so well. There was a nice variety of flavors and textures that really made this place stand out. ambiance- 5/5 sooo lovely and calm interior! The location of the restaurant maximizes the natural sunlight which makes the interior feel warm and inviting. This has been my favorite meal of the year so far. I'd definitely recommend this place!

Best Kaisendon in the area! The Moru Don is a must get - it comes with toro, sweet shrimp, salmon, scallop, tuna, salmon roe, tobiko cucumber, etc on a bed of rice. It also comes with a side of pickled chayote, miso soup, salad, as well as some nori. The fish is so fresh and the portion is very generous at $32. I also recommend the hand roll set - it's 4 rolls and miso soup for $28. The salmon avocado is surprisingly really unique and creamy. The spicy tuna comes with chunks with tuna which creates really nice texture. The creamy scallop just melts in your mouth. The soft shell crab has a nice crunch and a nice way to end the set. Staff are always friendly and food comes out fast. It is also easy to find street parking nearby.

I've been dying to try MORU for a while now, as all the food I've tried in Fort Lee NEVER misses. My group all tried one of their Gozen set lunches - I had the hand roll gozen which came with a huge portion and assortment of dishes, including 2 classic hand rolls, a portion of udon, hamachi, fried shrimp, and various vegetables/salads. This was the perfect introduction to their menu and I was delighted by the generous portion of food. I really loved how all the gozen came with a mini bowl of udon even if it wasn't part of the main dish as well! We were seated promptly and with a striking view. Their main dining area sits on the corner of an intersection and has windows all around, so there was a wonderful amount of sunlight streaming through which provided the most cozy and inviting atmosphere. Although the view is just of the street, it was my favorite part and great for people watching. Service was perfect - they answered any questions and were happy to give recommendations/explain the menu. Kept our complimentary hot waters full throughout the meal as well. MORU 100% lived up to the hype and I was glad to take my out-of-town friend here to show them North Jersey has some of the best eats. Perfectly located nearby my work and usual stomping grounds as well - I can't wait to return!

Impressive menu and comparable to manhattan levels with creativity, freshness, and presentation. I ordered the nine mini plates tasting box in February under their specials. Service was attentive. Each tasting was quite an adventure to the palate. I look forward to the special seasonal menu.

One of the best meals that I have had in a while! Went here to celebrate my birthday and it was the perfect place to treat myself to high-quality food without breaking the bank too much. The food here is SO GOOD and made with quality and creativity in mind. To start, we got a variety of starters and hand rolls, which really set the tone for our meal because of how delicious everything was. Till this day, I am still dream about the hand rolls. We tried the salmon avocado, spicy tuna, creamy scallop and soft shell crab and I love how they were all so good in their own ways. For our main dishes, we ordered the bulgogi cream udon, korean fried chicken, and the sukiyaki nabe and have nothing but positive things to say about each of them. The bulgogi cream udon is so unique with the udon, and the creaminess of the sauce paired so well with the bulgogi. I also really enjoyed the broth of the sukiyaki, which was so flavorful and comforting. Dining here is really so special and it was one of those meals where you leave feeling so satisfied and happy to eating such good food!! I cannot wait to be back :)

I got the regular lunch sushi set on a Saturday, I think they serve it everyday. Their sushi is incredibly flavorful and fresh. The toppings are extremely flavorful even tho there's only a little dollop on each, you can really taste the perilla or whatever is on top for each fish and it balances very nicely. I think every part of the sets here match to make a very balanced meal making good food become great. The udon is nice and chewy and the soup savory without being salty. I would say these sets are similar to the NYC affordable omakase but with a better price point. The place is also very pretty and nice with big open windows. The waiters are very conscious of everything to make sure the experience is nice like in the Korean fusion restaurants in NYC. Overall very good!

Coming back here for a family dinner on Sunday evening right at the opening of 5 pm to avoid the crowd. We ordered a few dishes that we liked before and new ones such as seaweed salad , tofu, dumpling and Kimchi Donkatsu Nabe. Everything tasted great as expected. Love the kimchi katsu combo. We did not try any sushi , sashimi or handroll due to personal preference. Will try them on the next visit.

2nd time trying Moru, it doesn't quite meet my satisfaction. I was craving an uni dish, more specifically uni bibimbap, and their Mentaiko Avocado Bibimbap ($21, with uni added; comes with miso soup) just didn't sell it. My husband got the Donkatsu (pork cutlet; $19) and that was also watered down/soggy; you're better off getting donkatsu from Yum Sem in Closter. The Salmon Avocado Tartar ($18) was decent -- probably what we enjoyed the most that visit. Sparkling drinks aren't homemade (and expensive @ $6.50). Service was great; the waiter & waitress were attentive and accommodating. Ambiance is sweet and homie; being upstairs on a rainy night with the large, slanted windows bearing the city made me feel like I joined a set in Ratatouille or a Miyazaki film.

Killer food, presentation is absolutely on point and the restaurant is gorgeous. The salmon in the salmon don is incredibly fresh and melts in your mouth. Rice is perfectly seasoned with a great texture as well, overall perfect bite everytime. Getting the lunch set here came with a ton of great little sides, it made for a fun dining experience where the food never got stale. the udon was rich and had perfectly cooked noodles with a great chew, it was one of my favorite additions to the meal. the crispy shrimp was fantastic, super big with a great crunch and the creamy sauce had a nice flavor. Potato salad and sesame salad were great too, nothing special flavor wise and tasted classic but a great little side to cut through the other dishes. overall this set was not just gorgeous but insanely delicious, that with the amazing ambiance ended up creating my favorite dining experiences in new jersey. service here was great too, they offered us hot water and made sure our cups were filled and warm the entire time. i will most definitely be back, a must try if you are in the area for sure!

Much better menu selection this time. Hand roll set of course ~ And then more from the noodle section. Definitely better than any sashimi or sushi. We have made up our mind about not ordering sashimi or sushi from Moru, so - noodles it was. Quite good. Everyone was satisfied with all three : soft tofu brisket spicy ramen, kimchi donkatsu noodle (too spicy and salty), and the cold buckwheat noodles. The soft tofu spicy ramen was the best among the three. Will come back to try this again.

This spot in Fort Lee is seriously a must-visit for lunch, with the most filling and fun lunch gozen sets ever which come with veggies, tempura, and a whole mini bowl of udon. Came on a Saturday for lunch and it was pretty busy, so recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Food came out really fast though despite how busy it was though - Sushi & handroll gozen (5/5): my least favorite part of this was the yellowtail handroll (too many toppings and flavors going on), but even that was good. The sushi was EXTREMELY fresh and not fishy at all, and the yellowtail sashimi that came with the gozen literally melted in my mouth. On top of that, the udon was delicious, cooked perfectly (I have high standards for udon) and the creamy shrimp tempura was large and juicy! Honestly the most perfect lunch set and I was feeling extremely full after, so it was so worth i! - Matcha mochi ice cream (5/5): It was restaurant week this week too, so the lunch sets came with a complimentary matcha mochi ice cream. I was surprised by how good the mochi was - super thin and chewy, tasted homemade almost. Would def recommend ordering even when its past restaurant week Would be super stoked to come back and try the other lunch sets!
