“A really good, quiet, and friendly environment. They all welcome you and say bye afterwards. Their sushi and ramen are really good and had a beautiful presentation. If you are looking for a quiet place where to read and eat this is your place but go between 4:45-5:30!“

“This place was a great find. Coming right off of being back in Japan, so you could say my expectations were low. Zaku did not disappoint. While I would not place them in the authentic camp, their flavors are spot on and notably their grilled fish prep, especially the hamachi kama, was done perfectly and a great value. They have some yakitori selections that might be less popular with western tastes, but those items also hit strong. I needed some starch so gave the duck fried rice a try - which I would not associate with a Japanese style, but was delicious nonetheless. Service was outstanding, drinks were refreshing and I only wish i had two stomachs. Well done!“

“The food without a doubt, is so delicious! I LOVE and enjoy the food!

However, I went to dine-in, with a friend and when I did not tip, the server demanded I do so. This was an autonomous customer experience where no one took our order we had to order on our iPhone and then all they did was bring the food.

I will stick to take-out from now on, to avoid this experience. Despite the tip issue, I keep coming back for the food! The food is unmatched!“

“Absolutely blown away — my new favorite restaurant!
I placed my first order from Salem, NH, and it arrived perfectly packaged and fresh. From the very first bite, I was hooked. This might already be my new favorite restaurant — it’s that good.
I ordered the Baked Salmon Maki, the Ebi Mango Maki, and the Green Tea Cheesecake. Every single item was delicious. The maki rolls were packed with flavor, beautifully prepared, and the salmon was perfectly baked. The Ebi Mango combination was such a great sweet-savory mix, and the green tea cheesecake was the perfect way to finish the meal — creamy, not too sweet, and full of flavor.
I can’t wait to order again. Highly recommend!“
