"Probably has weak food"…read more Passed by the spot because next-door there's a really good Spanish food spot and I thought to myself this place probably has some weak food wrong again. The Mango chicken is always fresh and juicy as well as my personal favorite in the drunken noodles. It doesn't even need a protein. They had a deal where if you spend over $30 you get a free roll and this meal comes just to that amount.

Almost 7 years later and I'm still a fan of Wasabi Thai! Their lunch special always saves me for a…read morequick, affordable, and filling meal. My go-to order? 3 sweet potato rolls with spicy mayo + tofu pad thai. Whether it's take out or dine in, the food and service is always consistent. Yes, they're still BYOB and yes, you can redeem a free Bayonne roll with a certain purchase when dining in. The restaurant is cozy and a bit small with under 10 tables I would say. It can get busy but I've never visited when there was a line out the door. Majority of customers order for take out here. Parking is a hit or miss. There's been days I find a spot right away and days where I am circling so just keep that in mind. LOVE Wasabi Thai thank you!

Sushi was fresh, not tasty/flavorful, but very fresh. Rating the sushi alone, if you're looking for…read moresomething simple, a quick meal and fresh, this place may be your go to (didn't think it was worth the price. Paid a little over $30 for the two things pictured below). I was worried about the quality with so many different rolls being offered on the menu, but they prepare the sushi made to order- the freshness is there. I think the service wasn't as fast as everyone is saying in other reviews. I got there right when they opened at 11AM. I was actually in the parking lot much earlier but had to wait until they opened ofc. I ordered two rolls and it took about 20 minutes to make- no one else in the establishment but myself. Customer service was dead. I'm pretty upbeat as that is my personality, I came in excited to try and was met with some annoyance. As I was leaving, I said to the chef "thank you was delicious" then said "everyone have a wonderful day" they literally stared at me and ignored, before I finally walked out. Wasn't expecting that as I was the only one there and was there as soon as they opened. Not sure that I would go again. I think one time was enough. There are much better sushi places to try, maybe not so much in the Bayonne area.

I've been coming to Otaiko for a few years now with my daughter. We usually spend the day shopping…read moreat HomeGoods and all the other stores nearby, and this is always our lunch stop since they open at 1:00 p.m. It's kind of become our little tradition. The restaurant is big, clean, and really nice inside. My only funny thought every time I go is, "I wonder what this place would look like if all the lights were turned on?" It's a little dark for my taste, but that's just me. The food is always good. The shrimp, chicken, and steak have never disappointed me. Every once in a while the food comes out a little light on the seasoning, so don't be shy about asking for a little more. Once you do, it's delicious. The service has always been great. Everyone has been friendly, and we've never had any issues. Now, let me save you a few dollars... I'd skip the alcohol. Every time I've tried a drink, it's been pretty weak, so I'd rather spend that money on more food unless you would be satisfied with a few squirts of soki while they are cooking at your table. Speaking of food, the portions are very good. For around $26-27, you get soup, salad, your entrée, and enough food that I honestly don't think I've ever left without a to-go container. I almost always end up with another meal for the next day. Overall, this is one of my favorite lunch spots after a shopping day. Good food, great service, generous portions, and leftovers? That's a win in my book. We'll definitely keep coming back.

I came here on a Saturday night and my party & I were seated immediately for hibachi. I have to say…read morethe food is very affordable for hibachi. I've been to way more expensive hibachi restaurants. I overall had a great experience here. The food came out quickly and it tasted delicious. I had the steak and shrimp hibachi which was phenomenal. I was a little disappointed with the fried rice, I feel like it was tasteless but everything else was delicious. The service was also a bit slow for clearing the table, we had no room for our plate of hibachi food because they didn't pick up the appetizer plates and soup/salad in a timely manner. But I will definitely come back here, had a great time!

We got the three special roll deal that came with dumpling soup for free on Uber…read more The three special rolls were pretty selected which was a shame, it would have been preferable to pick. The three rolls were the Angry Shrimp, Salmon Lovers, and Samurai. The dumplings in the dumpling soup were actually shumai. The salmon Lovers roll was by far our favorite. The mango chili sauce on top was an amazing addition. The samurai roll was fine. Very tuna-y. I just dont like tuna enough to appreciate this one as much but if you do love tuna you'd love this one. The Angry Shrimp roll was weird. It tasted decent, but was just very wet. I think they just drowned it in too much sauce. And the shumai in the soup was a pleasant surprise for me because I love shumai, but my partner doesn't so he wa disappointed with that. The soup does not say that the dumplings are shumai in the description. Overall, we were impressed. We dont normally get special rolls, but we decided to splurge tonight and mostly were not disappointed. Would return.

A Decade of Love on a Plate: A Local Favorite That Punches Above Its Weight…read more This place is the definition of a neighborhood gem--the kind you almost want to keep secret, yet can't stop yourself from praising. Cheap and cheerful on the surface, it punches way above its weight class, delivering inventive, clean, Asian-inspired food that's masterfully cooked by clearly skilled hands--and made with real love. I've been coming back year after year for most of this restaurant's 10-year lifespan, and that consistency is no accident. Every dish tastes intentional, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying, with a clear goal: to feed people love on a plate. It's a super veggie/vegan friendly that easily wins over even my "meat and potatoes" husband--who happily cleans his plate every time. In an era where genuine hospitality feels increasingly rare, Perry single-handedly restored my faith that quality service is not extinct. Warm, attentive, and authentically kind, Perry makes every guest feel seen, welcome, and cared for--without pretense or attitude. This is food that nourishes, service that uplifts, and a place that keeps you coming back not just for the flavors, but for how it makes you feel. A true neighborhood treasure.

I've seen this restaurant circling my YELP for the last few months and put it on my "want to try"…read morelist. This place is absolutely solid! If you're looking for good flavorful food options, this has got to be on your "must try" list, I genuinely do not think you'll be disappointed. I ordered the blueberry lemon iced tea, maitake mushroom medley with the option of udon noodles & added chicken, the coconut curry with the option of ramen noodles and the rice pudding with caramel sauce for dessert. First things first, my absolute FAVORITE thing about this restaurant is the food contains no GMO's no preservatives, pink Himalayan salt to season and NO REFINED sugars- only agave and palm sugar to sweeten. I WISH I would've known about this spot sooner JUST for that detail alone. I am always on the hunt for a place that offers refined sugar free options, and with that comes this level of safety knowing what I am consuming has a heath standard/holistic approach to meet and me not having to feel guilty or worrisome after a meal. Absolute 10/10 in that aspect. I saw a few reviews mention the blueberry lemon iced tea, as someone not even a fan of lemonade I decided to give it a try. Let's just say, I was slow sipping my drinks to not finish it all and avoid getting another in the same sitting lol. It's well balanced, not sour, blueberry flavor is present and knowing it's sweetened with agave led to guilt free pleasure. Would recommend everyone to try it, even if you're not a fan of lemonade like I am. Another mention, lemonade tends to make my throat dry, due to its sourness and tanginess and that didn't happen at all. Think the blueberry was more prominent than the lemon, it was really enjoyable. The curry ramen was a highlight! If your a fan of curry, I think you def have got to try this. I actually didn't get it (my partner did) because I didn't wanna be let down, but it was absolutely delicious. I got the maitake medley udon noddles with added chicken and what a blast of flavor. It had veggies, mushrooms, chicken, udon, eggs, kimchi and was extremely flavorful. I was very surprised that each element of the dish had its own flavor and spice that really jumped out, but paired well together. The least favorite thing for me on this platter was the eggs. Just your standard egg, I'm a fan of soy-marinated eggs on my noodles and not a fan of regular boiled eggs, but they are always an added protein plus! One honorary note, is the kimchi. I like kimchi, don't love it, but this was the best kimchi I have ever had. I even ordered a side to go. Another cool thing is the food is cooked fresh, right in front of you. Tbh, we were the only ones in there at 6 PM and food took quite a while, but I appreciate and prefer freshness over quickness always. The rice pudding is light and the homemade refunded sugar-free caramel addition makes it so much better. As there were only two options of dessert on the menu (rice pudding & matcha ice cream) I decided to give it a go although I'm not really a fan of rice pudding. Was it amazing? No. Would I get it again? Possibly. This place was on the pricier side I would say. My bowl of maitake mushroom w/chicken (added chicken being a $6.50 dollar up charge) was $34. Worth it for that price point? Not really, but good none the less. I also ordered a small side of kimchi (the small clear containers) and that was $7 which I think is crazy, but also it was good. For a better price point, I might've asked for a jar lol. Customer service- the workers were nice, but not really personable, which I don't really care for much, but bringing this up because there was this sense that maybe I shouldn't be in there or they just possibly didn't want to work. I tipped nonetheless, but for being the only couple or people in there I thought we would be greeted by everyone, just a simple acknowledgement, but it felt more like we were bothering them by walking in. I understand that people have their days and you have no clue what someone is going through personally, but it was distinct enough to mention- especially as someone who never really comments on the customer service aspect. I see through it cuz the food was great! Something about it was also just a let down, but I can't put my finger on it. Although it was good, I don't see myself frequenting this place. Maybe the price point is deterring me, but I do think it's worth a try!

I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to go back but if I were in the area, I may return.
