“Run don’t walk to this Ramen spot. As a POC, they are so nice to me when I come in. I believe they have a daughter who’s usually at the register and the mom assists.

They actually give you meat! They aren’t stingy!

I ordered the beef ramen today, ordered the Tonkostu like 8 times before and they just opened a points reward system.

10/10 recommend!“

“Have been there so many times with friends, families and my kids. My kids love the traditional Taiwanese noodles, and I love their Japanese rolls. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff add to the overall dining experience, making it our favorite go-to restaurent! Love this place.“

“I was craving good Japanese food close to home so I went to Teriyaki 1. I got the Chicken Bento box with a Shrimp roll, Angry Dragon roll and a Cucumber and Avocado roll. It was absolutely delicious that was my first time trying the Angry Dragon, and I enjoyed it. My food was fresh and full of flavor. The only room for improvement is that the spring rolls that came with my Bento box was too oily, I had to blot it with a towel to absorb the oil. Other than that the food was great and I highly recommend it to anyone, and would definitely go back. 👌🏾👍🏾“

“My favorite Japanese restaurant! The food and service are exceptional!“

“I tried vegan specialty Mango Tango roll, it was awesome tasty & excellent. The Ginger & Wasabi was very fresh. The taste was amazing, but it'd be nice if they have little bigger portion

Vegetarian options: They have vegan normal & specialty rolls“

“Outstanding food and very friendly staff ~ highly recommend!“

“Loved their lunch box with chicken teriyaki. Wife had several rolls, and liked all of them. Became our favorite Asian restaurant in Bernards/Warren area. It may be crowded during the evening hours. Recommend to order take out rather than waiting to be seated.“

“No need to go to NYC for ramen! Their broth is slow cooked for around two days for that rich flavor. The cold dishes served in this restaurant are phenomenal! You can find some dishes not easily served in other NJ ramen restaurants. Staffs are very helpful and friendly. For whoever feeling not welcomed, it’s likely cultural differences. These folks work very efficiently and are very impressive“

“owner is so nice!!! they make their own soy sauce. wasn't salty“

“fresh food and friendly staff.“

“I’m so happy to have a place nearby that serves great Korean food! The dishes are flavorful and satisfying, exactly what I was hoping for. I also tried the sushi, and it was fresh and very filling.

The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of parking available. I didn’t have to wait at all, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a solid spot for both Korean cuisine and sushi lovers. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Yum! Great split decision for lunch. Parking can be tight and they could bring back indoor dining.“

“Great very fresh sushi a small out of the way place that is a gem.. We found this place about 2 years ago and haven't gone to another sushi restaurant in our area since...“

“We walked into this place last minute on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday since another sushi place had been unable to accommodate gf. We could not have stumbled upon a better experience! Elan at the sushi bar made us a custom omakase tasting all gluten free and so delicious. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really created a one of a kind meal while making us feel special and taken care of. We ended up with about 15 different courses i believe all fabulous and ended with a special ice cream sushi dessert. Best part was it’s been a bit since we ended and i still feel great, stuffed but i can tell it was celiac safe! We will definitely be back!“

“Fantastic food, great service, clean with reasonable pricing. We ordered the sushi boat for three, easily feeds 4 people.“

“50% off sushi if you pay cash! I got enough sushi to feel totally full for $12 and it was so good! Their tempura maki especially has a good combo of different veggies and is very satisfying/filling.

Vegetarian options: For sushi: Tempura maki is ?✨ They also have tamago and the usual avocado/cucumber roll.“

“First time. New to town. Got a no-rice roll, a spicy tuna roll and seaweed salad. A strong 4 stars. Very good, but different from what I'm used to...Somerville, NJ. Staff was 100% on point. Friendly and service was fast. I will definitely go back and try more.“

“The food is delicious? and the service attitude of the staff is very good??? The only drawback is that it is too hot to eat in. There is no air conditioning. There is no air conditioning. There is no air conditioning...How can there be no air conditioning! If there is still no air conditioning, I will not choose it again next time. I hope it will be resolved soon. Overall, I am very satisfied, especially the service attitude. ?“

“I have been going for years simply because you get consistently excellent portions for the price. That is still the truth today.“

“We ordered California roll, Sesame Chicken and Bean Curd Gravy with Tofu. The California Roll and the Sesame Chicken were delicious, while the bean curd gravy could have been better.
We would recommend this place for a good Asian meal.“

“good service and good food“

“It’s pretty good but I’ve only been here once. I’ve tried a lot of Asian fast food places and their food is better than average. The lo mien is tasty, not too salty or dry. I also got the sesame chicken which was tender but just a lil too strong with the seasoning (kind of salty). The tofu was reallly good!! Nice customer service too.“

“I love their garlic shrimp with scallops menu item. I always get it for take-out. I have eaten at least 20 of them. There is a problem with their packaging. They put the food into a white plastic container that ALWAYS leaks. The container is not water-proof. They put the white container into a brown bag and put that into a plastic bag. The sauce leaks from the white container through the brown bag and into the plastic bag. When I open the white container, I get sauce from the bottom of the container all over my kitchen counter and have a mess to clean up. I have seen other take-out containers and NONE of them ever leak. This business needs to get a liquid-proof or water-proof container to put the food in so the sauce does not leak out. Wake up please!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered a take-out today July 31, 2024 and was surprised to see they have a new container that, when held upright, does not leak. One good step in the right direction. I wish they would go one more step and use a truly watertight container. Many restaurants use waterproof containers so an even better type of container does exist.“

“Nice variety of foods for 1 complete price, and quite tasty“

“Exquisite sushi. Very well prepared Asian fusion food. Tasty to look at and delicious to the palate. My husband and I enjoyed the yummy yummy, the Rock and Roll. toffu. and the best fried ice cream for dessert. I give it 5 stars... for everything.“

“Best Chinese & Japanese I’ve had, from their green tea with toasted brown rice to their soups, their general Tso is always a good balance of spice to sweet, very accommodating with gluten allergy for my partner. They are always nice and we tend to catch going once a week at this point, very good every time“

“We celebrated a family birthday at Yutaka Hibachi in Somerville, and it was an unforgettable experience! The chefs are incredibly skilled and entertaining, making the meal both delicious and fun. Everyone in our group was impressed by the quality of the food—from perfectly cooked steak and shrimp to fresh sushi and tasty fried rice.“

“We have been going here for our once a month dinner date for a few years now and are never dissatisfied. They are consistent, friendly to us every time, and quick! it is a BYOB establishment 30$ per person on weekends and $25 on weekdays will get you all you can eat from a menu that has salads, teriyaki choices, tempura choices, a host of apps, and all the sashimi, sushi rolls, and specialty rolls you can think of! My husband gets every appetizer on the menu but really likes the chicken teriyaki and fried shrimp dumplings. I go crazy for their shrimp and salmon sashimi and of course the classic US California roll. The few times we have not been able to finish a few pieces of sushi they have been understanding and not charged us, that being said we’ve seen many people order too much and get a charge. My main advice would be START SLOW. You can order as many times as you want and they are very quick to get the food to you. No need to start with a monster order and end up in a hole! I also recommend getting the hot tea (free refills all night) to help you eat more ! Finally if you are GF either pick up your own bottle at the nearby shoprite or bring one from your house they no longer offer GF soy sauce. My husband ops for spicy Mayo instead but you have to ask for it!“

“Aikou is outstanding, in all regards…from the service, ambiance, presentation and personality. You will not find a better establishment that tops the charts in all categories. The quality of food is outstanding and exquisite, your orders will speak for themselves.“

“Great service with amazing food. Bianca the waitress is very friendly and super fast“

“This place is legit, authentic Korean food. The outside looks unassuming, and quite possibly easy to pass by, but the dishes I’ve tried have been on point especially for being a hole in the wall. Classic Korean dishes done right without being made overly sweeten or watered down like a lot of places these days. Recommend!“
