REVIEW UPDATE - TAKEOUT ONLY: Ani Ramen House is a fantastic…read moreramen spot in Montclair. It's always a fun time and you're pretty much guaranteed a great meal at Ani Ramen. My husband and I really wanted some restorative, Japanese comfort food. However, we were unable to go there in person because he was sick, so I ordered delivery from them for the first time (via Uber Eats). The food held up well in transit and was just as good as if we were dining in. I went with a Karaage Rice Bowl with a Ajitama (6 minute egg) as an added extra. My husband went with a Vegan Ramen bowl. While we were supposed to share the Crispy Tofu Buns, my husband couldn't stop after one. Hey, I can't really blame him though, they are delicious. I can't say I would not have done the same thing had I gotten to them first ;)

This place deserves all the hype and rightfully so…read more After a long day at Turtle Back Zoo, was feeling quite hungry and was told about this establishment. I thought why not. Walked in and I loved the place already. Very chill and relaxing ambiance. Staff was very friendly and quite a lot of seating. Went on a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of seats. I don't live very close so I thought I'd order a few things on the menu to try a variety. Was glad I did. Started with the cucumber salad. Light. Refreshing and even has a little kick. I couldn't stop eating it! Ordered the braised pork belly Bao. Comes in orders of 2. Sooooooo flavorful and so worth it! Ordered the Short Rib Ramen and their Special Spicy Tonkotsu ramen. So much flavor in the broths. Very filling and the numerous flavors from the fresh onions, to the beautifully cooked pork belly and short rib, to the perfect soft boiled eggs. A+! Will most definitely be on my mind to stop by every time I'm in the area!

The service is mixed: food arrives in good time, but catching the eye of a server is near impossible. On May 2, late morning, the staff felt resentful, unwilling to respond.

The lighting is warm and cozy and beckons you to dine in and enjoy every bite. The service at is excellent, from the moment you walk in. Everyone is very friendly and on a busy night we didn't have to wait long. It is BYOB, so we brought a red, white and orange wine that paired well with our meal. My friend eats at Cafe Giotto often so he's of a regular and the staff treated us really well which made our experience even better. We started with the Insalata di Mare, which was very fresh. The handmade pasta is really great and I had the Seafood Linguine, with lots of scallops and shrimp in a broth, and extra spicy. i tasted some of my friends' dishes too, which included flat bread pizza, ravioli, salmon and some other delectable dishes. I ended the night with their Tiramisu. It was the perfect finish, to the meal. Not too sweet and nicely presented with fresh fruit. Though I'm not in Jersey often, I'm sure to return to Cafe Giotto later this year.

We started with the Seafood jeon... a seafood pancake... which had a lot of seafood and was served crispy and hot. I ordered the 'Stir fried spicy squid' which had lots of squid in a very tasty sauce. My wife ordered the Tofu soup with kimchi and pork... pretty much a staple when we order Korean. As I said, everything was very good... the ambiance as well as the service we got from Alex. I'm sure we'll be back to this BYOB

Service throughout was really friendly. The interior of the restaurant is also pretty and modern. We ordered the LA Galbi, rose tteokbokki, and a pork tofu soup with level 1 spicy. Food came out quickly and hot. I was really looking forward to the LA Galbi but was disappointed that it was kind of salty but of course if you ate it with the white rice, it paired fine. The rest of the food was also just fine - this place is not the authentic traditional Korean flavor I was looking for but definitely has the modern Korean fusion/street food taste.

We made reservations for 2 hours before the show and good thing since the place was packed about 10 minutes after we got there and there were other tables reserved- so plan ahead if you can to make the reservation. Very cute and decorated inside. The ordering system is through an iPad and actually allows you to see each dish your ordering. For appetizers we went with wontons in chili oil, chicken dumplings, and pork bao buns. I got chicken and broccoli as my entree and my fiance got a chili chicken dish. Everything was fabulous and relatively affordable for the amount of things we got. I can't wait to come back and try more things they offer!

Three stars but don't let that deter you…read more COVID-compliant! No indoor or outdoor seating however. One staff member. Everything is neat and clean, if a little outdated inside. The TV playing a PBS program is from 2003, but it's more about the food right? Good selection of menu items, from salads to soups sandwiches and smoothies. Pricing is based on weight of the salad, so I was a little taken aback that two salads (add avocado), and two seltzer's were just short of $30. The place is nestled in the plaza close a bookstore, coffee shop, and several delis of varying flavors. So they do have some competition and without any outdoor seating available I think it's a rough time for them. However, right across the way is a little park with benches and a few tables, so you can sit and eat safely. I imagine they handle a lot of delivery and takeaway orders. Bottom line is the food is fresh, flavorful, and I'll be back for a good salad.

Cute place. I've been coming here for years. However, like anywhere else prices have gone up, and…read moresometimes you feel like things are hit or miss. For example, my $9 grilled cheese, in the past, was toasty and tasty. This last time around it was a soggy oily mess. For 9 bucks I expect better. But, throughout the years I've had burgers, salads, sandwiches, and kabobs. More often than not I was completely satisfied with the quality and quantity of food. Like anywhere else, I suck up the price and hope portions don't shrink.

What is going on here?…read more I ordered the First Avenue sandwich -- a cheesesteak with bacon and sautéed onions -- and it was an absolute salt bomb. Not "well-seasoned." Not "bold." Just aggressively, overwhelmingly salty. Every bite felt like a dare. Between the bacon and the cheesesteak, it was sodium stacked on sodium with zero balance. I genuinely couldn't finish it after two bites. At that point, it felt like I had just thrown money straight into the trash. The sausage stuffed peppers were decent...thankfully. Not mind-blowing, but at least edible and competently made, which is more than I can say for the sandwich. They saved me from a starving morning. Extremely disappointed. I'm all for flavor, but when the dominant note is "are they trying to preserve this for winter?" something has gone very wrong in the kitchen.

We were exhausted, hungry, and honestly just defeated by the day. And then the door unlocked. A girl inside saw us standing there and just -- let us in. Opened the restaurant early, just for us, out of the rain, on a holiday. I haven't experienced kindness like that from a stranger in a very long time. We sat in a warm restaurant, ate incredible ramen, and I thought about that moment for days afterward. The food is SO wonderful.
