7 Best Japanese Restaurants near Manahawkin

“i always order out the same thing: a bento box and a spicy tuna hand roll. sometimes they make the hand roll a regular roll but ever since i put it in the notes it’s been fine. the portions are huge and for the price, the amount of food you get is crazy. i love going here at least once every two weeks, if not more. staff could be a tad friendlier“

“FOOD
We go strictly for the Hibachi. They start you with soup and salad. Fried rice, Lo mein, fresh grilled veggies, and your meat/chicken/seafood choice. My choice is the Filet and Scallops. It's never disappointed. My wife gets the Gluten-free meal which is plentiful and I'm sure equally good.
SERVICE
The server on Friday was ehhh... going through the motions. Generally they're pretty pleasant and at least efficient. While they do the legwork, the chef is the one doing the meal... which takes us to --->
ATMOSPHERE
Our Hibachi chef was Ocean this time. Yep, pronounced like it's spelled! He was great. There were kids at the table and he was sure to give them special attention.
Don't wanna spoil the entertainment, but Ocean made the experience a lot of fun. Don't forget the saki shots!
COST
Very reasonable for Hibachi. It's BYOB which helps with the expense. Tipping is always tricky! Chef v server... hmmm.

Have a blast and enjoy!

“There are three things I would like to mention.
1)The food was great. But with that said. My wife had a vegetarian grilled entree, had hardly any vegetables, and very little rice, Basically My wife portion was very small, compared to everyone else's.
2) TRYING to get a refill on your drink was almost impossible. We had
To get another person from another table, that was setting up next to us to get our drinks.
3) Finally, enclosing food was fantastic. The atmosphere was energetic. If you can just work on the finner details that I mentioned, I would have given a 5 🌟 instead of a 4 🌟 on service.“

“My favorite Chinese place in town. The chicken and broccoli is out of hand good. White meat. Get extra sauce. Prices are fair. I literally just got a whole combo meal with rice soup and an egg roll for $16 You pay that at McDonald’s nowadays if you get a big enough meal ? Don’t think I can say iv have had a terrible meal here ever. Service. ?? fast. Fresh.“

“Went to Stafford, NJ for a vacation and saw this place one day while kind of driving around and touring the neighborhood. Just wanting something quick for lunch, I came here with my Dad. First thing is it is Takeout and Pickup only, maybe delivery? I'm not sure on that. Anyway, I had my dogs at the beach house we rented and so I was OK with going back and hanging there anyway. We both decided to try their VERY affordable Lunch Special, and for the price we expected small portions, but they were actually a very nice size for the price. Plus it came with roughly a Pint of Wonton soup, and so you can't beat it. ( I left price out in case of change but at the time of writing this it was very fair and the food was very good as well. ) Would definitely recommend to anyone and I plan on stopping back if I'm in the area ever again. The lady up front was very nice and I loved seeing the fresh sushi bar up front as well. Great find“
