This spot seems to be a very, very popular local favorite for sushi rolls.

Makes sense, as the restaurant is small and it gets crowded especially on weekends. The restaurant is family run and very friendly. We tried a few rolls and everything was nice and tasty. I saw a sign that they offer omakase on certain days, and would love to try that next time.

While it's not quite on the level of New York City's omakase spots, it's solid for New Jersey and worth a visit if you're in the area. Standout bites for me were the Otoro and Chu Toro- both beautifully fatty and flavorful - as well as the Hamachi with shishito and the scallop topped with crispy garlic. Other highlights included the Madai (seabream), barracuda, striped jack, and a satisfying bone marrow served with toast. I also tried Kumamoto oysters for the first time in years, and they were a lovely surprise-cleaned properly, topped with a light sauce, and incredibly fresh. The Hokkaido uni was creamy, though slightly more briny and bitter than I personally prefer. Mr. Bin himself mentioned that uni flavor can vary depending on the season. Throughout the meal, Mr. Bin was present and helpful, guiding us toward which fish to try. The fish is delivered fresh twice a week, and the quality really does show. That said, it's still missing that little extra something that sets top-tier omakase apart- the purposeful dot of yuzu sauce, the hidden dab of wasabi under the fish, or a crisp garnish that adds dimension and surprise. Some sushi have this, some don't. The technique is good, the fish is fresh, and the experience was enjoyable- I'd return- but it's a notch below the more elevated experiences you can find in the city. Hence 4 stars. Solid though, and friendly. Nice ambiance inside too, Saturday dinner time it filled up quickly so I recommend a reservation.

Two small tables at most and it seems like it's probably a lot of takeout and delivery. We sat down and ate and got food in take out containers. Very friendly guy working there. It was delicious.

I was able to save the rest for the next day fairly priced and just as good as any sit down hibachi spot (benihana etc) .

The spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and salmon avocado rolls are part of my regular lunch rotation, always fresh and consistently good. When I want something a little extra, I love the Fancy Tuna and the Bonsai Tree roll- both beautifully done and full of flavor. Their vegetarian udon / soba noodle dishes are also great. And of course, the meal isn't complete without the tempura ice cream. Consistent food and excellent value- that's why I keep coming back.

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 had all you can eat sushi for two people and it was $30 per person. I'm from SoCal so this is typical and reasonable. As with all places that are all you can eat, you need to be careful how much you order otherwise you'll get charged for the leftovers. We started with miso soup and a couple of the apps. The crab salad was so delicious. Simple but tasty. The apps were hot and fresh and came out quickly. We ordered five rolls between the two of us and a couple pieces of salmon sashimi. We finished off with a scoops of strawberry and vanilla ice cream. Yum!! Everything was fresh and colorful. It's a nice local place and I'll certainly be back.

Everything is cooked so well and deliciously, and the prices are incredible. It's so affordable while still tasting amazing. I love all of the options they have to offer here. I've tried a lot of their food options and I'd genuinely recommend anything and everything. I will say my favorites are the classics -- chicken teriyaki hibachi and the shrimp tempura rolls.
