“I luv the salmon avocado roll here! When getting sushi here, be sure you specifically ask for the Kikkoman soy sauce in the green packets...or else they'll hand you the cheapy generic soy sauce packets that most Chinese restaurants hand out.”

“The mango special roll with shrimp tempura was a little slimy because mango was very ripe and cut into small slices which were falling off the roll. It was ok not great. I did not care at all for the consistency of the chicken in the noodles dish. I ate around the meat and just ate the noodles.”

“I had the honor privilege and luck of being the very first customer to be served at Kanpachi Sushi during their grand opening on 4/29/2022. The very first think I noticed was how friendly and inviting the staff is, they make you feel welcome the second that you step into their establishment. The second thing I noticed was the how the new renovation which makes you want to come in and have a seat at a table or sit at the sushi bar to watch the sushi master construct your order before your eyes. I am impressed with the addition of this new business to Amboy Ave. The food is fresh, top-quality ingredients prepared by a world class chief and sushi master. I had lunch there yesterday and today. Oh, and did I mention that Kanpachi is a BYOB establishment? Sushi steak and Hibachi lovers, do yourself a favor and get over there. I am making this my go to spot for lunch or dinner, I give Kanpachi 5 stars. Thank you for picking Amboy Ave to open your sushi house.”

“I had heard so many good things about Nikko's so I stopped by for a take out meal the other day. From the time I walked through the door, I had a great experience. The decor is really nice, the restaurant clean and the people working there are even nicer and very helpful. I ordered the seafood hibachi entree. The smell was so good I couldn't wait to get home to eat it. I wasn't disappointed. The meal was delicious, plentiful and made with FRESH ingredients”

“For those that know me, there has been a legend I’ve spoken of many times. Once upon a time, there was a place which provided me with some of my best culinary memories ever. This legendary place was called Mr. Pi’s Sushi Restaurant in Metuchen, NJ. Almost ten years of amazing experiences I had accumulated there. However, one day this place of legend had eventually relocated and, in the years that followed, I spoke of, and daydreamed of, this legendary place quite often. Then, over a decade later, I accidentally find out that they have relocated back to the area near me. My sheer joy, the smile from ear to ear, the absolute excitement, was so intense it was practically palpable. Speaking of palpable… in their journey before returning to Middlesex County, in Highland Park this time around, they have made their menu even BETTER, which seems almost impossible for a place so legendary, but it’s true. They are the best version of themselves they’ve EVER been! If sushi restaurants have a glow up era, they most definitely are at the summit of it, and will most certainly remain there, as legends do. Welcome to Mr. Pi’s 3.0! Placing a restaurant into legendary status is neither something I do easily, haphazardly nor willy nilly. For, you see, I have quite literally tried sushi all over the world. I’ve had sushi in Europe, the UK, the South Pacific, Australia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and yes, Japan. I’ve had sushi in (almost) every one of the 50 states, except for those states in which I just didn’t feel like risking my health by trying the sushi. Of all these places I’ve been to, all over the world, NOWHERE compares to Mr. Pi’s! They are the truest of diamonds, valuable beyond imagination! In an area of NJ where you can barely walk a block without finding yet another sushi restaurant, Mr. Pi’s OUTSHINES every single one of them, by far! What makes a place so legendary? Their food, first and foremost, is TOP TIER, ALWAYS FRESH, HIGH QUALITY, and BEAUTIFULLY, quite STUNNINGLY, PLATED! Great food alone, although amazing, does not grant legendary status. This next part is where many restaurants sadly fall short these days. SERVICE and HOSPITALITY are an art form that not many have mastered the way owner Jeannette and Sushi Maestro Pi have perfected it. They welcome each and every guest with the warmest of greetings, most genuine of smiles, and truly heartfelt interests in giving their customers a PREMIUM experience. How they are able to remember so many people by name is a talent so challenging it’s practically pure magic in and of itself. After even just a second visit, you will already feel like you are home when you dine here. Our server, Cindy, made sure we always had hot tea in our pot, drinks in our glasses, and our every need anticipated and catered to. She truly excelled in her attention to all the details of our dining experience! The atmosphere is a delight, with so much space that they have multiple dining areas and a banquet room that could easily accommodate 50, possibly even 75, people. They also have (a new territory for Pi’s), a full bar with a variety live music certain nights of the week. In this massive space which was once occupied by a Charlie Brown’s of decent proportions, they have managed to retain all the charm embodied in the sushi restaurants of their prior incarnations. Plenty of space, comfy seating, delightful decor, and a bar as well, make this yet another amazing quality this legend has taken on! Of course, one can not dub a restaurant a legend without discussing the food. In the only three times I’ve been in since discovering it’s reemergence locally, I have been dazzled by the displays of sushi some plated with dazzling miniature ice sculptures, as they’ve floated by my table onwards to their destination where I am sure there were patrons in absolute delight. On the menu you can find many of the usual items found in sushi restaurants, but there is quite a list of items that you will find only at Pi’s. Their special rolls have taken creativity to a new level of transcendence. In additi”

“Came for dinner on Friday around 6:30pm. Recommend making reservation on Friday Evening otherwise take a seat at the bar or will need to wait. The fish was fresh and presentation done well. Seeing the chefs put the dishes together was a nice experience as well. A bit slow with the order but most likely its because the place was full. Would recommend 18 pieces sashimi, salmon tartar and tako su. Over all a great place to stop by if you want fresh sushi and want to bring in your liquor.”

It’s not open to the public and there’s no open sesame. Legend has it that chef Ge shall find you in your dream should you wish.”

“If we could, we would give Isaka Midori 10 stars! ⭐️ This is one of our favourite restaurants, and it's always worth travelling from Brisbane to experience their food. And I say experience because every bite is an explosion of different tastes. We stopped eating meat seven years ago, and it is amazing to see how their chef transforms plant-based food into something that looks and feels so much like fish. And the staff are wonderful too; always friendly, calm and professional. They make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The presentation, flavours and textures are incredible. This is not just food — this is art. ❤️ Arigatou gozaimasu! 🙏”

“As an Army veteran on Veterans Day, I waited 40 min just to be seated and another 45 minutes with 6 others at the table and still no food on the hot grill in front of us. Several other tables were empty and only two other tables of 8 had chefs cooking up some food, so the place was not crowded. I got up and left. Super disappointing.”

“They are open every night, just not late. The miso is perfect. They have gluten free options like rice noodle pad thai and brown rice. My wife got the hibachi chicken and brown rice. I got the tuna lover and eel combo, pricey but I love eating a lot of sushi. The spicy tuna has a nice crunch to it. The eel sauce is simply divine! The only issue was the fish scale and extra fat in the eel. They also have ice cream, but no chocolate. The server was so nice and gave me orange peels bexause I'm lactose intolerant. I used to order ramen from here every month. Decided to finally eat in. They play calming techno music. There's a nice picture of Mt. Fuji and geishas. Some oriental lanturns at the bar. They store drinks in the corner, so you know what drinks they serve like canada dry and brisk.”

“I have gone here three time already. Food is very good considering the price. The second time I went something was wrong with the food. It made my stomach upset for hours after. I decided after the second time to come one more time and if it happened again I wouldn’t come back. The third time I went (the most recent time), food was better than before. The food was good considering it’s all you can eat. Service could use some changes. I went on a Thursday night and although it wasn’t super busy, food took forever to come out, and the servers rarely came by to check in. There were two servers working yet felt ignored at points.”

Jinya Ramen Bar is slurping up success, becoming the second-fastest growing full-service Asian restaurant in the U.S. In 2023, this Tokyo-born (and Los Angeles-based) chain grew by 30.2%, second only to KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot.
