The restaurant has a sushi restaurant vibe with a playlist that will make anyone who is a fan of the 90s singing in their seat. The owner, Juan, is very friendly and happily shares lots of information about the restaurant, the food, and the ingredients. We started with the soup dumplings, which are steamed fresh to order. They were awesome. The soup was rich and flavorful and the dumpling was soft. We got the miso ramen, the beef noodle soup and the seafood noodle soup. These broths were incredible. They are apparently cooked for 18+ hours. The noodles were chewy and thick. Loved everything and we will be back.

Conveniently located in Newark Shopping Center, they have plenty of parking. They seemed to have a lot of takeout orders coming in, and they have plenty of tables for dining in (appeared clean and well maintained). I had a very friendly greeting, learned a lot about the menu offerings, and was offered plenty of time to decide what I wanted to order on this first visit. I went with Soup Dumplings, Japanese Shu Mai, and Beef Udon Noodles. All was very good. Perfect meal for a cold night. In my opinion the soup (in the soup dumplings) was light on flavor, but still good. The Shu Mai was full of flavor and the perfect crunch, and the udon noodles were very good. I would definitely go back and try more new things.

I visited this restaurant on a Saturday around 1 PM with my cousin, and the experience was…read moreextremely disappointing from start to finish. The service was unacceptable. The server, an older woman, was consistently rude and dismissive in her behavior. While I cannot confirm intent, the interaction felt uncomfortable enough to raise concerns about whether bias may have played a role. I have rarely encountered such discourteous treatment in any restaurant. After handing us the menu, she returned to take our order. When my cousin pointed to Thai basil fried rice, she abruptly said it was only available on a different menu or day. I then pointed to "Thai basil vegetables" and asked if that referred to Thai basil fried rice, and she said yes before quickly taking the menu away without properly clarifying. When I asked whether the dish contained egg or meat, she confirmed it did not. She did not ask about water preferences and brought us warm water without ice. When the food arrived, it was not fried rice but plain white rice with vegetables. When I raised the issue, she insisted I had ordered that item. When my cousin tried to explain that he had specifically asked about Thai basil fried rice, she told him to stop speaking for me, which was highly unprofessional. What made the situation worse was that when she tried to justify the order by pointing to the menu, she was unable to locate any listing for Thai basil fried rice on that same menu, which further highlighted the confusion and lack of clarity in her explanation. Eventually, she brought the correct dish, but I noticed the incorrect item was then served to another customer, which was concerning. The portion size was also quite small, though I understand this has been mentioned in other reviews. Toward the end of the meal, she cleared the table prematurely, taking my cousin's plate while he was still eating without asking. That was the final point of frustration. Due to the overall experience, I left no tip and made that clear on the receipt. I strongly caution others to be aware of the service here. If a restaurant is not prepared to treat customers with basic respect and professionalism, it should reconsider its standards of operation.

This was a bit of a walk from my office, but so worth it! The sushi burrito is basically like a giant sushi roll. It's amazing! It was quick and simple and filling. I wish it had come with a blob of wasabi and ginger on the side and a ramekin of soy sauce for dipping, not because it needed it, but more for the novelty of it. read more
