    General Tsos Chicken Dinner
    Alex C.

    Overall: 3/5 Value: Pretty good, $9.95 for a general tsos combo PLUS soup (usually a $1.99 value). Portions were fairly generous with good chicken to rice ratio. Food: I got hot and sour soup, which often says a lot about a restaurant. There was some intention and thought behind their soup - it wasn't simply left over scraps from the day prior poured into soy sauce vinegar water. It was pretty darn good. From the general tsos chicken, it's obvious this is an Asian fusion place - probably with Japanese roots. How do I know this? (Besides the fact that they offer sushi and Japanese dishes?) Easy. They used chicken breast only for their general tsos. Their chicken didn't have random pieces of fat and breading that is often deep fried and thrown into the mix, it was quite pure cut. However, I do prefer chicken thigh meat over breast as it is often juicier after deep frying. The sauce was ON POINT. Way better than the sauces at the other places I've reviewed in Newark. The rice, unfortunately was what knocked it at LEAST 1 Star. This "pork fried rice" had maybe 5 little scraps of cha siu. The rest??? Al dente rice. NOT GOOD at all. Overall thoughts: Would probably still choose this over other local delivery Chinese places so far for its sauce quality and value. But...I have higher expectations for a 4 or 5 star general tsos.

    TLDR; The oil used to fry their tempura was rancid and the waitress refused to take my sushi off the bill. Fake filler ingredients were found in their sushi that did not match the menu description. They also served me microwaved miso soup! AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE. Came here with my family for a late dinner around 9 pm on a Friday night because of all the glowing reviews. Boy do I regret it! The food and the plating I got looked NOTHING like the pictures already posted. It looks like they just put whatever ingredients are left for the night in my food or had the amateur chef working the shift. The General Tao's chicken we got was not the right color. It looked more like Orange Chicken with some dried chilis added. It tasted heavy on the tomato paste where as General Tao's is supposed to be more soy sauce based. The worst part was the plate came with a decoration carrot flower which ended up staining my little sisters' fingers red when she wanted to eat it. Why would anyone put food coloring in carrots (decoration or not)? That is so fake! For sushi, I ordered the Snow Mountain Roll and the Hawaii Roll. I was excited because it was $20 for 2 specialty rolls plus miso soup! Should have known it was too good to be true! The Snow Mountain Roll was supposed to have lobster salad in it but lobster was no where to be found. The Hawaii roll was supposed to have crab meat on top but it was imitation crab meat (kani), which by the way is made from fish! The menu lied! I even had to remind the waitress about my miso soup because she forgot to bring it. They must have microwaved it because the soup was heated unevenly and some of the tofu cubes were still cold. The worst part? The oil they used to fry the tempura in our sushi was RANCID! It tasted old like they haven't changed the fryer oil and over used it. My family tasted the rancid oil in the avocado ball but just ate it anyway because we were starving at first. We didn't want to be anal customers. However, when it came to eating the rolls we just could not do it anymore. The Snow Mountain Roll tasted like greasy old cardboard/newspaper, and we started to feel sick from the rancid grease. I called the waitress over and told her I couldn't finish my food anymore because the oil in their food was rancid. She got defensive and said "No body else complained today. We just changed the oil today, you want to check?" I said, "No I don't want to go see your fryer. You don't believe me? Try a piece yourself." She wouldn't and took the plate away which was still half full. She came back with the bill and said "Don't know what happened but we give you 10% off." 10% OFF was $5. No, the restaurant should have taken all the sushi off the bill, if not, made the whole bill free! People could have gotten sick from eating their old ass oil! This is the first time in my life that I let sushi go to waste. This restaurant is cheap and dishonest and lies about what's in their food. Not to be racist against my own people, but I thought fake food problems (e.g. gutter frying oil, fake eggs, dumplings filled with sawdust, etc.) only existed in China! I grudgingly paid the bill but I am going to call Discover and get a charge back. Too bad I could not use my Amex here. I would be surprised that this restaurant stays in business for more than a year. The rancid oil might be a fluke and generally the food wasn't completely terrible, but based on how cheap and irresponsible the owners are, that attitude is going to be their downfall.

    This place is definitely a hidden gem! My husband and I moved to the area earlier this year. We are VERY picky about sushi, and always do our date nights at sushi places. We found Tree Garden on Yelp, and it has definitely been one of our best finds. The sushi is consistently delicious and fresh, and the prices are unbeatable. My favorites are the tempura shrimp roll and spicy tuna. My husband's favorite is the shrimp avocado roll. We have had maybe half of their selections and rarely find something that doesn't wow us. We also have had several of their non-sushi dishes, and they have all been fantastic. But we usually order off of their "maki roll combo" sheet, which gets you two or three rolls with a soup and salad for a VERY reasonable price. The setting is modern and clean, the food comes out quickly, the staff is friendly and attentive, and we are always surprised when the check comes- this is the least expensive sushi place we've tried, and the food quality and experience are consistently great. Oh and as you wait for your food, they bring you a bowl of crunchy fried noodle things and some kind of sauce to dip in, and it is seriously one of the most addictive snacks, like potato chips on crack lol. To be honest, I half considered not writing a review because it is such a hidden gem lol! We have never had to wait for a table, even on weekends. The restaurant is kind of hidden away in the shopping center, but other than that we have no idea why they are never busy. So that's why I did want to write a review- a restaurant this great should get the recognition they deserve- even if I risk having to wait for a table in the future haha!

    My friend took me to Tree Garden on Friday night. We didn't have trouble getting a table and the service was good. The restaurant is very low key and casual. The avocado ball was amazing and I will definitely order it every time we go there! I ordered sushi and got a yellowtail roll, tuna avocado roll and salmon avocado roll. The sushi was okay but nothing great, i think it may have been better if the rice was more fresh. My friend ordered a bento box which was bigger than I expected and it looked really good. I'll probably try getting some non-sushi items next time.

    The Avocado Ball

    This place is a hidden gem! The service was great, very polite, and helpful. We ordered the avocado ball which was PHENOMENAL. Also had crab ragoon which was very delicious. I ordered Orange Chicken and my boyfriend ordered General Tso. Both dishes were brought out nice and hot. The presentation was cute and the food tasted great! Their prices are reasonable. I will definitely be going again when an Asian food craving strikes.

The first time I went there was in 2009 on the recommendation of a friend who used to have a Japanese restaurant. With job changes, going back to school, and plunging headfirst into a turbulent new career with multiple job changes, I never got back there until 2022. And guess what? They remembered me! The staff is genuinely friendly. They remember what I like, and a few times I've described dishes that weren't on the menu--and they made them perfectly. They actually listen, and that level of care is rare. The wine and beer selection fits my tastes really well, which is a nice bonus. Every time I visit, the atmosphere is happy and relaxed. I often see other customers come in and get greeted like old friends, and it's clear this place means something to a lot of people. It's not just a meal--it's a place that lifts your mood. Okura has become one of my favorite spots. Friendly people, great food, and a warm, welcoming vibe every time.

    Kyoto was a solid 3. Not sure how we missed this sushi place before. We arrived on a Friday at 5pm…read moreand we were the only customers. There was one server which was fine for just us, but when the crowd came in 1/2 hour later it was a long wait for everything. We ordered shumai which were tasty, and Sunomono salad which the server forgot. We reminded him after he brought out our sushi rolls but I was not a fan of due to the octopus and wished I had not reminded him. My pineapple drink was made with orange juice because they were "out of pineapple". I would have ordered a different drink if he had told me. We ordered roasted duck roll and spicy scallop roll, yo-yo roll with lobster and spicy tuna, and the ufo roll with tuna, salmon and mango. All of the rolls were creative and delicious but had way too much sauce. There were so many rolls on the menu I would like to try, and the udon and bento boxes look amazing as well. But perhaps next time we will return on a weeknight and ask for less sauce.

They were all delicious. And, as you can see, presentation was very nice. Now, my chopstick skills are not good, I'll own that. My totally uneducated observation is that 2 of the three rolls were not rolled tight enough. It was a very messy experience and if I cared, I would be very embarrassed by my lack of sophistication. That said, it was delicious.

Maybe I should not of been looking for more flavor and took the description at its word.

The soft shell crab looked Ok but it was not fresh but frozen. It wasn't bad, but also wasn't the exceptional food soft shell crab usually are. It was flat, good tempura, but not a specialty at all. My wife ordered steamed dumplings along with scallion pancakes. The dumplings were large and very meaty, very flavorful and very good. The pancakes were also very tasty and flavorful. My big complaint was ---- the place is called "Fancy Sushi". The sushi was not fancy at all. Everything else was very good though. Please keep in mind we ordered delivery.
