    Sushi & Sashimi Lunch Combo
    Katrina T.

    I got the sushi and sashimi lunch combo! For the price, the food is pretty good. The lunch combo comes with a salad and miso soup which were all pretty big portions. I felt like I just ordered salad tbh with how much they gave, but it was nice and filling so I don't mind. The soup was good because they added real tofu! The sushi itself was yummy. My favorite pieces were the black skin fish, salmon, and squid. I would say the sashimi is better than the sushi though, next time I would just get sashimi because the rice wasn't rly contributing anything. I came during lunch so it was very quiet. The parking is amble but very gravely and odd which is a minus. Overall solid lunch special for around $20

    It was sharp. Glad I found it before it went into my mouth.

    I am a huge ramen fan. There are a few new ramen spots in my area, and I wanted to check one out today. This used to be Wasabi 34, so I was surprised to see it was now Wasabi Kaizen. I placed an online order of tonkotsu ramen for takeout. The online ordering process was simple and convenient. I think the prices are fair, especially for the lunch menu ($14+tip and tax = $17). My order was ready within 15 minutes. Pick up was easy, and I saw that they upgraded the inside of the restaurant. It was a pleasant surprise to see they included a small miso soup and small salad with my order, as I wasn't expecting it. Ramen was packed up nicely with the broth in a separate container. Egg was cooked perfectly. Lots of utensils and napkins. Here's where it goes a bit sideways. I probably should have considered the ingredients better, because I was surprised to see a load of bean sprouts added. That's unusual for ramen. The pickled ginger (radish?) had a super strong sour taste... and I enjoy ginger. Bamboo shoots were chewy, I spit the first bite out. There was no seaweed and not many scallions. The braised pork was tough (one piece was kind of like jerky - 2 pieces of pork altogether). The broth, though - it tasted unlike any tonkotsu I've had. It put me off a bit. A bit sweet/sour(?), kind of gamey(?). Noodles were okay, slightly over-soft IMO. Anyway, I removed the sprouts and tucked in. I'm not super loving it but I'm hungry... and then, I pull out a small silver wire thing. Immediately stop eating. I now have a giant bowl of ramen sitting on my counter. Good news is I fill up quickly. Onto the other new ramen spot I found, for next time.

    Age Tofu

    The sushi here is really good, but I like their ramen more. Their tonkatsu ramen has a rich broth with amazing slices of roasted pork. It was really delicious. Wasabi Kaizen also has lots of little Japanese eats. We ended up ordering several of these appetizers to share. The karaage (fried chicken) was really crispy and so were the mentai potatoes. The age tofu and star crab salad was yummy too. The waitress was very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. It's an unexpected place to find good Japanese food so I try to stop here for a meal whenever I'm in the area.

    Wagyu beef ramen

    We can back again! Ordered the Tonkatsu again! Hubby ordered it with me this time! Again, the broth is outstanding, the pork belly was scrumptious, enoki mushrooms , bamboo shoots etc! There are lots of Ramen noodle places opening up all over the place and I always choose to drive right back here. Tonight, we met the young man named Wally who is one of the owners.!! It's refreshing to see owners come to the table and making sure that you enjoyed the food! We drive all the way from Freehold. What does that tell you

    Chicken Teriyaki

    Real good authentic Japanese. The waitress was so sweet. She let me have shrimp tempura with no vegetables. I would definitely try this place. We're going back try something else. I like the cherry blossom tree in the center with fishies in the ceiling.

    This sushi restaurant is getting better and better every time I go there. They not only offer more variety of dishes but also more fresh delicious salads. The service is always great. The surrounding area is quiet and inside decor is very artistic.

The place was nice, quaint with your typical Japanese Restaurant flare. Not pretentious. Comfortable and seemingly spacious enough for 6 people. The food was very good. I had the Chirashi Sashimi and the fish was fresh. Didn't feel like it was frozen for days. My wife and son enjoyed the Steak Teriyaki Bento Box, My other son found his Sushi Roll very satisfying. Even my daughter, who is very picky, like her Chicken Katsu. I also had the Tokyo IPA. It was surprisingly good! It didn't have that tiresome bitter IPA taste. I was delightfully refreshing. This place is definitely worth visiting. I should really explore the back roads of my area more and not just go up-and-down Route 9 or 18 or trekking to NYC. There could be more hidden gems that I haven't discovered.

I really loved how they presented a boatload of Sashimi and Sushi. The boatload of sashimi and sushi were really fresh and of high quality. The Kani salad was really good. The miso soup was just okay though, a little improvement is needed if I may suggest. The Cheesecake and the Green tea ice cream are very good. My friend and I really enjoyed in this restaurant after getting tired of playing pickle ball nearby. I will definitely recommend this restaurant and will go back again to experience the other list in their menu.

    We wanted to celebrate Fathers Day with 3 dads with a total of 10 of us tonight. We arrived around…read more5:30p and it wasn't very crowded and we were seated immediately. That sadly was the best part of the night. We ordered; 8 AYCE and 2 ordered ala carte. My wife's vegetarian and doesn't eat much and my mom doesn't eat raw sushi and ordered the teriyaki shrimp. 1. The service is horrible. We waited 20mins to get our first appetizers. The waitress just dropped off plates and didn't explain what they were. My mom noticed the table next to us ordered what she got and a few minutes later, the waitress asked if she received her entree, which she replied no, and then she went to the table next to us and grabbed their plate and brought it back to the kitchen. We assume they reheated and replated the dish because it was way overcooked. 2. Long wait. Some items didn't arrived after over an hour and we asked about them multiple times. As we were ordering our 2nd round, we just reordered them. We got our waters refilled often but they never checked in to see if we were receiving our food or if we wanted to order more. Like they didn't ask one time. 3. Lost in translation. My parents are immigrants, so I am pretty understanding but the waitress didn't understand much of what I was saying and when I asked for extra ginger while pointing at it she looked very confused. I also asked her what a few items were when she brought them, and she didn't respond. 4. 10% coupon: don't bother trying to use the 10% off coupon from their own website. When we asked for the check, I showed her the coupon and she looked confused like I made it up and I let her know it was from their website under "coupons". She went to the back to ask about it and returned to say it was for online orders only. I mentioned that the coupon doesn't have any fine print except it can't be used with any other offers, and she didn't try to help at all which was frustrating. At the end of the day, it was probably one of the worst meals I've ever had. The food quality was ok except for my mom getting a reheated meal. But the service was terrible. It sucks to have to wait so long for food and things coming out randomly and my son and wife waiting over an hour for their items while others are pretty much done. Save yourself the aggravation and try something else.

I had to scramble to get another reservation somewhere else and they did not respond to any phone calls or voicemails, regarding an explanation. Very unprofessional!! Please also see my review below for a previous experience I had there. I also have a $150 gift card that I am unable to use! Pros: Plenty of tuna available, served with fresh wasabi. Cons: Limited or no rice (asked multiple times, but few had it), mediocre appetizer quality and quantity, chaotic and loud atmosphere, no water provided (asked multiple times), and the fish was not sourced from Japan. I was disappointed with the tuna cutting event. I had expected a more formal and relaxed setting, similar to my previous omakase experience, but instead, it was loud, crowded, and chaotic. I also assumed the fish would be sourced from Japan and that the appetizers would be of somewhat comparable quality and quantity to those at the previous omakase dinner, due to the price of the dinner. Additionally, my girlfriend and I were very sick afterward and still are (throwing up etc). People were throwing up outside as well. The lack of rice, limited appetizers, and no access to water made it difficult to balance the meal. Having these options would have helped settle our stomachs and balanced the meal, instead of just eating pure tuna. We also didn't drink much (less than two weak alcoholic beverages each since we rarely drink), which made the event feel less worthwhile. Offering a non-alcoholic price option could be beneficial for guests like us. Overall, I found the event underwhelming and wouldn't attend again. Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback.

    Intimate seating, as per usual omakase dining experiences, with only ten seats. Ambiance is quiet,…read morenot super formal but we felt we had to keep our voices down. Cocktails were a reasonable price, they do not offer wine, and many sake options. Most are quite pricey, but the warmed sake was $28 for a carafe. We got two and split it between the three of us. They warm it in the microwave, which I thought was slightly awkward, as the microwave was in the main dining area, near where some of the alcohol was stored. Our dining experience started off with three appetizers. They were interesting but not quite that flavorful in my opinion. The sushi coming out after we're much nicer. I especially liked the pickled vegetables on top of a few of the pieces. I mentioned in my reservation that I was a pescatarian and as they only asked for food allergies before they began and not preferences/dietary restrictions, I did not mention it. I wasn't offered anything instead of the wagyu piece so I ended up giving it to my friend. They were, however, very mindful of my friend's shrimp allergy. Bill ended up being $136 for the 16 courses plus the drinks, tax and tip.

    The sign on the door is correct, we do love this place on Yelp…read more We were a little nervous coming to this place but we're very surprised. We went on a Monday so nobody was inside. We were greeted at the door and were aloud to pick our seat. The ambience is such a cool Asian inspired atmosphere. Mural on the wall, little table top waterfall on the sushi station, bonsai and other nicknacks on the shelves and tv showing peaceful marine life. The menu is very sushi dense, with the whole first 3 pages being sushi. I got the shrimp tempura, dragon roll, and Philly roll with a miso soup. My partner got the green curry, miso soup and white rice. My sushi rolls were so delicious, perfectly fresh, and just so yummy. Shrimp tempura roll 9.0/10 Dragon Roll 8.7/10 Philly Roll 9.1/10 The green curry was different from what we've had in the past, it came out in more of a curry soup.
