The new team of caterers has taken over the Visitor Center Cafe to produce a beautiful and tasty dining venue. No longer a grab-n-go cafe, the new sleek and modern Japanese themed establishment is a nice option. Great service and tasty options. We spent a little over an hour at the restaurant and had a relaxing time on the patio. Each dish has several pieces and the food is delivered as it is ready. There is a constant flow of food and between the four of us we tried 8 menu options including tempura vegetables, dumplings, sushi, and a short rib entree. A bit more expensive than the traditional Garden Cafe fare but TOTALLY WORTH IT.

Their service is amazing always, they are very attentive and make sure to make their customers feel welcome and appreciated. Food here is always delicious and made to perfection!! Definitely a must to try different appetizers, their soup dumplings are to die for!!! Definitely recommend, whether you're craving some noodles or simply a rice bowl, they are equally exquisite in their own way!!!

I think in general, Zhongzhong noodles are one of the most underrated Chinese restaurants in NYC. I…read morefirst had it in Roosevelt Island and I thought it was absolutely delicious. I wish there were more locations of this in Manhattan. We made an order at the desk before we seated ourselves and for a Saturday evening, there was quite a bit of open tables which was great. I ordered the Szechuan Braised Beef Noodles and they were absolutely delicious. The noodles tasted a bit like ramen noodles but they were able to grab all the delicious and garlic flavored soup. I really appreciated the soft-boiled egg with its marinated egg whites. I also loved the big tender beef chunks as well. Overall, I really cannot wait to go back to Zhongzhong noodles and I hope that they open up more locations. I will say though that since I last went to the Roosevelt Island location, they have raised their prices quite a bit - maybe $2 or $3 per dish.

I've ordered delivery from here several times, and I can't rave about it enough! I usually get…read moreeither a bento bowl or one of the teriyaki platters. My most recent order was a combo platter with beef and salmon. The photo does not do it justice! The salmon was well glazed, and the beef was very tender. They also allow you to customize the meal with lo mein; rice; vegetables; or a combination of those items, as well as indicate how much of the sauce you want. You really can't get a better deal for the quality and the price. 10/10!

Unfortunately, since this location has become a neighborhood hot spot, the portions have drastically reduced.

I also enjoy the kitchen apps and entrées- the miso eggplant and agedashi tofu are great appetizers. The salmon teriyaki is always perfectly cooked and accompanied by fresh vegetables. As other reviewers have mentioned- the construction of the rolls can suffer at times- for me this usually looks like 1 at most 2 pieces losing their integrity when I pick them up. My friends and I agree that this is Riverdale, not A sushi hotspot desitation and we would rather sacrifice a point on the physical construction /proper sushi technique than go somewhere else that has beautiful perfectly rolled sushi- with less fresh fish or rolls that are more rice than filling. Also- the sushi IS good! I usually go for salmon, tuna and a sweet potato tempura roll The lunch specials (monday-saturday until 3:15 pm) are a really good deal and come with pretty good miso soup and a fresh side salad. I am appreciative that they run a little later in the day as well. Aoyu has always been very reasonable abt modifications- there is no upcharge for brown rice for lunch bento- easy to request veggie instead of pork gyoza, and I really don't like crab- imitation or otherwise- so they always let me sub a cucumber avocado roll instead. Thanks for being such a great restaurant in riverdale Aoyu!

Descriptions sound a lot better for the nigiri than what you get, things you can find in a cheaper place. Standard piece of salmon and yellowtail without any flourishes described on the menu. There was no "sweet soy reduction, roasted tomato, or Tabasco" as described with the salmon. Pictures on the website are also not reflective of the food they serve. Our waiter confirmed they don't serve fancy looking nigiri in the picture. Again food isn't terrible, just overpriced and somewhat misleading.

I order from here about four times a week (yes, seriously), and the food is ALWAYS consistent. Same incredible flavor, same quality, every single order.

The portions, the flavor, the consistency -- you would expect to pay so much more. If you're looking for hibachi that never disappoints, this is the place. Highly recommend to everyone. Ask for the Stephanie Special -- you won't regret it!

Honestly, she could have said anything and the words "saves you money" and I pretty much would've done it. I personally loved my beef and shrimp teriyaki with noodles. My son liked his bentonite box except for the spring rolls. My brother loved his chicken teriyaki with rice. The prices were very decent for the amount we received. The place was huge with a lot of sit down area and very clean. Y'all know I love clean now! When I'm around and in the mood, I'd stop back in and use my little rewards thingy again.

The smell of hookah coals being lit is very unappealing while trying to eat. They do charge 18% gratuity automatically and while the $8 happy hour margaritas were not bad they charged us $12 for two (not very cool in my opinion when we are only one of two parties there during happy hour). The calamari was almost too chewy to be good- but the seasoning and sauce saved it. The waitresses were excellent and seem to only speak Spanish- but I was able to get by with what I know to say.
