I'm here for the reviews. Quaint and small place and packed on a Wednesday night at 7. That's a…read moregood sign. I decide to do takeout since I don't want to wait for a seat and all the tables are for 2 and 4. The bar was taken up by 6 friends and they left 5 minutes after I ordered. No less than 2 minutes later, the bar had only two seats left! I'll say again, that's a good sign! When I got home to eat my Seaweed Salad and Paradise Roll, I understood why this business does well.

Out of all the sushi and Japanese restaurants I've been to, this is a solid 2 star. I'm giving this…read more3 stars using just the other sushi restaurants in Monmouth County as a comparison. Rolls are the quality you'd get from any NY bodega / deli. Fish was not fresh. Rice was dry. The Japanese entrees were not any better. The batter on the tempura was very thick. The udon broth tasted like it came from a powder.

Service was really bad. My table was not wiped down properly I ended up staining my shirt even…read morebefore I got my order. I ordered ayce and they left out some of my orders couple of times so I had to keep on reminding them about them. You can just tell that they were poorly trained. I would never go back especially for sushi. Sushi restaurants should be extra clean and on point in my honest opinion.

Saw that they had AYCE sushi special so we went to check it out. $29.95 all you can eat dinner…read more Place was clean, service was good. Menu is mostly standard sushi with some interesting special rolls, along with a couple Chinese food offerings. Sushi for most part was good, not excellent but good. Sashimi Tuna was fresh tasting. Scallion pancake disgusting. I'd stay away from Chinese offerings based on that alone. Warnings are placed on table if you don't finish food I think it's $1 per plate, $8/lb for Chinese food charged If not eaten , or maybe that was for all food. Seems harsh. When I started the pancake was disgusting they didn't bother to take it away. So can use your imagination what we did with it. Would we go back? Possibly now that we know it's also BYOB, liquor store is in the plaza.

I came here with a big party and our food came out quickly and correctly, which was great! The food itself honestly really surprised me. The sushi they had was delicious and fresh. The ramen was also really great as well. The portions were huge and the price was very very cheap. There are a few tables in here, so you can eat inside if you wish, but I saw a lot of people getting take out as well. Would recommend!!

Although I thought we'd see more of a show for dinner, the chef cooked everything well. I tasted the food not just sauce-spices. I really liked the tuna roll I got, also tasted very fresh.

In what appears to be a converted fast-food outlet, this Ichiban location along Rt 35 delivers a very entertaining, capable dinner that was probably drowned in MSG but who am I kidding, MSG tastes great. My Salmon was terrific with copious amounts of fried rice, Lo Mein and grilled vegetables riding shotgun. Compared to what I could have had "dining" at nearby Monmouth Racetrack, this was a meal fit for an Emperor. An easy five stars.

Very unfortunately on an extreme cold Tuesday night there was little or no heat in the seating. Albeit people still came and filled up the space. Might say that that shows people like it enough to bear the very cold eating experience. Mgmt apologized and stated there was a pipe issue that came up. Service was prompt and friendly. We only ordered rolls, not realizing there was a ramen special that night. Sushi was fresh and tasty, miso soup and salad were good portions. We rushed through meal as it was very cold to sit there and linger. BYOB.

Our car was in opposite direction so we took all of our stuff with us. The hosts out front were kind enough to let us leave our beach chairs near their stand and the managers were kind enough to let us in looking like beach bums. We had Taylor as our server. She was attentive and recommended more than half of what we ordered. All bangers btw. The crab cake is one of the best. It's just crab and cornflake crust. No added fillers. I dream of crab cakes like that. We tried to go back again last week but they were fully booked. Can't wait to get back. My only issue is the drinks were lackluster. My blue moon came with no head and no orange garnish.
