    Edamame and Gyoza dumpling appetizers

    Ate for the first time at this newer sushi and ramen restaurant in what was formerly an Arby's last night. The food was good, we had an edamame appetizer, a mixed sushi plate and a house poke bowl. Fish was very fresh, and portions were generous. Plates were very nicely decorated and presented. Service was a mixed bag, a very nice Asian man (Owner?) took our actual order, he was great, could not do enough to help us. The other servers were young folks who clearly had no training in restaurant service, were improperly dressed for work, but were eager to please. Expect to need to clearly ask for exactly what you want here, at least until these servers get trained. I never received the miso soup they said came with the sushi order. The restaurant was clearly a somewhat redecorated Arby's with a former take out window. It was comfortable enough, and the place was spotlessly clean. I will be ordering takeout from here regularly, quality of the food was great.

    The aftermath of my dinner... obviously I enjoyed it

    I always stop here when I get my hair cut in Hackettstown. The sushi(spicy tuna roll) is good a reasonable priced.

    Great sushi and appetizers. Service was excellent. Especially enjoyed their signature rolls. We enjoyed the quiet, no drama atmosphere.

    Delicious. Authentic. Nearby. Reasonable. Come get some ramen. I'll be back soon and often. Bonus: tap water in the restaurant tastes good.

    As someone who only eats vegetarian sushi, I HIGHLY recommend! There's SO many options! My husband…read moreordered various non-vegetarian rolls and rated them highly as well. For apps we had salad, miso soup, and spicy edamame. Needless to say, not one was left behind. I also ordered a side of noodles and they weren't bad, but the flavor was not my preference. They had a sweeter taste than I was expecting. I'd also like to highlight that my husband noted the miso soup as one of the best he's ever had. Our drinks from the bar took some time, but not overly long. The lychee mojito was great. The service was friendly and attentive. We made a reservation online and I'm glad we did because it was definitely busy for dine in and takeout. I'd describe the restaurant as modern meets casual. I look forward to my next visit.

    When someone asks me for sushi recs in the Somerville/Bridgewater area, I ALWAYS say Ryujin…read more Whether you're looking for fresh, melt in your mouth sashimi or a bowl of ramen, this is the place to go. The interior is gorgeous, and you can't go wrong sitting at a table or at one of the bars. They also have sake here, and the selection is great! Every time I come here my meal is delicious. Everyone who works here is so friendly too. When I went recently I got the Ryujin tuna and miso soup. My husband and I also split the wagyu gyoza special and the mochi ice cream for dessert. If you're in the area you must go here!

    Can't speak to the typical dining experience, but I had to share my love for this place. My partner…read moreand I took one of the cooking classes offered here today. Booking was easy online and we were provided with the menu we'd be making. Chef Jay and his staff were so friendly, and the space we cooked in was very cozy. I loved the experience of Chef Jay explaining the ingredients, helping us understand the flavors we were creating, and then getting to eat all of our delicious dishes, and of course taking home the leftovers. This event was so worth it. I would recommend this to any one of any skill level. My partner and I are by no means chefs, but our food came out perfectly. I can't wait to come back and take another class here, or stop by for dinner!

    Not worth the money or the hype…read more Pandan was recommended by close friends and we love Thai and Indonesian fare so we wanted to try it. It's priced like a solid sit down restaurant one would go to and easily spend $100 for a couple or small family on appetizers and entrees. The menu is interesting and authentic. The execution for our take away meal was sub par. First, we ordered two of an appetizer (dumplings) and only one was packed in our bag (unfortunately we only noticed after we were home); it was all stuck together and ripped apart - it was unappetizing to look at but had average flavor. The other appetizer, spring rolls, was very mushy and I am not sure if made as advertised; it was listed as some shrimp rolls and some vegetable rolls, but we only got one type of roll and I don't know if there was shrimp due to the consistency of the filling. The bang bang shrimp and chicken had NO bang (heat/spice) - it's like there was no seasoning at all and again the consistency was mush; it wasn't inedible but it wasn't worth $20. We would have been much happier at a standard Chinese or Thai place versus Pandan despite its stellar reputation. I'm not sure what happened tonight. Maybe it's better to sit down and have super fresh plates hit the table versus a 15 minute drive, but, I'm not convinced. Service was excellent, apart from the missing appetizer which could be an accident, an $8 accident. Not the end of the world.
