We picked this restaurant to get some Vietnamese food for lunch. Upon entering the restaurant, I…read morewas not really elated by the interior. It seemed little bit old and messy but decent enough to dine-in. The menu had all the popular dishes like banh mi, pho, vermicelli, broken rice dishes, and of course drinks like Thai iced tea. Of course I ordered the tea, it was pretty good, liked that it was on sweeter side. I ordered the lemongrass chicken on salad (57). I was absolutely blown away by how good the dish was. They gave two giant pieces of chicken, with perfectly grilled golden skin and moist soft meat in the middle. The salad, mix of cucumber, carrot, radish and tomato, was so good with the fish sauce. Even though I was bummed out by the dining space, I loved the food so much, I could ignore those short comings. The service was fine, our orders were taken on time, and the dishes were served within few minutes.

Small local restaurant just outside of Union center. We were able to easily find street parking…read more Fast, friendly service... quite the disappointment when they didn't have the sliced beef appy which we requested... I ordered my standard pad Thai with shrimp and friend got the garlic beef with veggies and brown rice. Both were delicious, although not spicy... we had requested a 2 and a 3 out of four. Would rather have it less spicy than overheated, but definitely added more chilis ourselves. Reasonably priced especially for the portions! Would definitely recommend and return!

Unfortunately, I did not take photos…read more I ordered the fried pan dumplings, but unfortunately I received steamed dumplings instead. Normally, I'm not a big fan of steamed dumplings, so I was a little disappointed at first. However, the flavor was excellent and definitely exceeded my expectations, so I can't complain too much about the mix-up. The real star of the meal was the Yellow Curry Crispy Duck. Absolutely amazing! The duck was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the curry had incredible flavor. I ordered it with spice level 1, which was just right for me and allowed all of the flavors to shine through. My only real complaint is the portioning of the rice. While the half crispy duck portion was quite generous, the amount of rice provided didn't seem to match the amount of meat. For the price I paid, I feel like the rice portion should automatically be adjusted to complement the entrée. Having to request extra rice just doesn't make much sense when there's plenty of duck left over. I'm usually not picky about things like this, but considering the cost of the meal, I expected a little better balance. Other than that, the staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself is a small hole-in-the-wall spot with a cozy, authentic feel. It's the kind of place that locals seem to know and enjoy. I actually discovered it while heading to a Mexican restaurant with some coworkers and decided to give it a try because I'm a big fan of Thai food. Overall, I'm glad I did. The food quality was excellent, the flavors felt authentic, and the crispy duck alone is worth coming back for. Despite a couple of minor issues, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. If you enjoy authentic Thai cuisine, you'll likely leave satisfied. Authentic taste and quality ingredients--everyone should give it a try!

Ani Ramen in Cranford, New Jersey is always a hit. I ordered my go-to dish, the short rib ramen…read morewith a six-minute egg, and it was pure deliciousness in every bite. The short rib is consistently tender and flavorful, and the six-minute egg is perfectly soft with just the right amount of richness. The service is always great, and the food comes out quickly--there's never a long wait, which makes the experience even better. The ambiance has a hip, modern Asian flair that adds to the vibe and makes it a fun place to dine. Consistently excellent food, great service, and a cool atmosphere. I'll definitely be back--again and again.

Ani Ramen House's Cranford location is on the corner of Walnut and Chestnut on the ground floor of…read morethe apartments at The Albero. The main entrance is next to the kitchen, which is designed for food delivery and takeout operations. The L-shaped dining room wraps around the kitchen and offers an impressive amount of seating for 80 people with ample natural lighting. The interior decor follows the same rigid industrial wood and metal aesthetic that almost every new hipstery restaurant chain has subscribed to for the past decade. In case you've forgotten that ramen is Japanese, you'll also see neon signs on the walls illuminating some common Japanese phrases (although without furigana). Two gendered restrooms are located left of the kitchen in the far corner of the building and each have two stalls and one sink. I ordered the Tokyo Shoyu Ramen with a side of Chili Charred Brussels for takeout. I placed the order 30 minutes in advance and it was ready at the scheduled pickup time. The Chili Charred Brussels were about five halved sprouts that were steamed and lightly sauteed with a light sprinkling of mustard greens and pepper flakes. I actually enjoyed these more than the ramen I ordered, but they did not have much noticeable charring (or the caramelization that comes with charring). I had a very difficult time enjoying the Tokyo Shoyu Ramen, which is the first item on the ramen menu. The dry ingredients are packaged in the main serving bowl and the broth in a separate plastic takeout container for you to combine yourself. The main attraction of the Tokyo Shoyu Ramen is the three massive slabs of braised pork, which did not disappoint. I tried some of dry ingredients first before drowning them in liquid, although I could not find any bean sprouts. The noodles were slightly undercooked, possibly to compensate for the hot broth. Everything kind of went downhill after I added the shoyu broth. Although the shoyu did impart flavor to the meat and ramen, it was so overwhelmingly salty that it was completely undrinkable by itself. After finishing the noodles, I felt like I was sipping boiled dipping sauce. If chicken broth was in the mix, I certainly couldn't taste it. This is particularly concerning because half of the ramen menu contains this same shoyu tare, and will most likely be too overpowering for most people. In retrospect, I should have ordered the brothless mazemen ramen. The food preparation, while adequate, seemed a bit rushed based on what I ate. Perhaps 30 minutes was not enough lead time for the kitchen, or perhaps this is just how Ani Ramen makes its food. While I appreciate that Ani has helped make ramen more accessible in Central Jersey, it's probably not my first choice for ramen or any of the eclectic side dishes on the menu, e.g. brussels sprouts, kimchi, and gua bao (none of which are Japanese).

We've been here quite a few times because my husband always wants Pho and it's only about 15…read moreminutes from home. Also he loves the Pho! He always gets the same order the K1- Shrimp and Pork Egg Rolls to start and the P1- Pho Way Combo which has Oxtail, Raw Steak, flank, brisket, tendon, and tripe. The egg rolls are very small here, I don't think I have ever seen smaller. They are pretty much the size of Filipino lumpia. They are tasty but not worth the cost $5.95 for 4 little pieces. As far as the Pho he enjoys it. I don't particularly like to eat Pho so I always find something else to order. Here I always get a Vermicelli rice noodle bowl. On this day I got the B6- which has Grilled pork, Grilled shrimp, and Egg rolls. It was just ok for me. The pork was very thin and was dry, I prefer pork to be a thicker cut so it's a little fatty and juicy. I tried to doctor it up with some hoisin sauce but I still didn't like it so I just ate the few shrimp and egg rolls and then asked for a to go box. I figured I could make something of it at home. The service here is very fast and friendly and we were checked on frequently to see if we needed anything and our waters were refilled often. If you're looking for a place for some good Pho then pay them a visit...

Fresh and Sumptuous Vietnamese Food in Downtown Millburn!…read more We came to Saigon Cafe in the downtown area for an early dinner on a Friday evening. They have a few tables outdoors and some seating inside. When we arrived around 6 PM, the place was just starting to get busy, but it was completely packed by the time we stepped out around 7 PM. The food here is fresh and really sumptuous. Honestly, they serve some of the best pho we have ever had. The bone broths used in the soup are incredibly flavorful and feel freshly made. Here is what we ordered: * Fresh Spring Rolls: We started with the shrimp spring rolls, which were decent. * Chicken Pho: My wife got this, and it was awesome. * Special Beef Pho: I ordered this one, and it was very flavorful and tasty. The meat quality was absolutely fantastic. * Grilled Meat Pao: My sister got this with chicken and fresh veggies, and she really enjoyed it. On top of the excellent food, their staff was very friendly throughout our meal. I highly recommend checking this spot out, just be sure to get there early on the weekend since it fills up fast!

I always love visiting Pho Minh's. I cannot believe it isn't busier because the food is delicious…read moreand the serving sizes are generous. I haven't had a bad experience yet! The food is always hot and delivered to your table quickly. I love the fried spring rolls, the vermicelli dishes and all the phos I have tried. It is clean inside the restaurant. I always see the same woman working, and I once forgot a bag there and she held onto for me until the next time I was there to eat again. I didn't even realize I had left the bag there so it was a pleasant surprise and really spoke to the character of her. Makes you feel good to give business to good people. :) It is street parking if you go but I've never seen an issue with space. It is close to a small thrift shop and some other little shops. I really recommend you stop by. I've been coming for about two years now.

I guess I give this place overall a 3.5, instead of just a 3. This place caught my eyes as an asian…read morerestaurant in the area and relatively good ratings, but felt that everything was pretty average. I went with a group of 3 and all ordered ramen and the karaage appetizer, but the karaage was just slightly crispy and barely had any flavor, the sauce really saved that dish but definitely would pass on that dish. All 3 ramens were average. The pork cha shu was tender though which was the highlight, but overall broth was pretty standard. Particularly my miso ramen didn't have that much flavor. Service and staff was a bit slow, but food came out pretty fast. Overall not bad, but will probably give this place another go sometime and try some of the other dishes.

I ordered a black garlic ramen and a kids meal (katsu) for my son, they came pretty quickly and they look delicious!! My son's katsu is super hot and crunchy (he said he doesn't want to eat it prior the food come, and ate 1/2 of the chicken!!) that means did you great!!! Rice was a little hard to be honest and corn was ok.. I kinda put them in my ramen.. the black ramen was good.. lots of spinach and thick piece of pork (chasiu).. soup was thick but not too thick!! Noodle was cool perfectly.. only thing is I have to pay to get the egg, but it was cook perfectly!! My son agree since he ate the entire egg.. would definitely come back again.. I wonder if it would get super busy at lunch time since they don't have too many tables (10 maybe), they might be a line out the door.. but 11:30 was a great time!! And parking is just across the street!!
