The Nagasaki Champon is our new favorite. My wife and I had a very pleasant Sunday dinner. Havenāt had a meal this good in a long time. We were supposed to have dinner here some few weeks ago but the Fort Lee-Pal Park traffic congestion gets really bad. Last time we were here was in 2021!!. Now we canāt wait to go back. We also had the Salmon Roll and Yakitori Chicken, Pork, Beef and Mushroom wrapped in Bacon.
The food service and atmosphere were all great. The reason I am leaving such a low review is because of how expensive it is. Traditionally, Izakaya restaurants are places to get cheap food and beer. A place where young people can spend a few hours drinking, eating, and talking with each other after work or after a night out. This place is way too expensive to be considered an Izakaya and is just overall overpriced.

I just discovered this place after returning from Japan so, im going to be abit more critical on the food.
We started with spicy crab meat, It was the imitation crab meat, which was to be expected for the price.
Then my girls had the corn cheese, it was pretty good.
Then the yakitori assortment came out, i thought this was the best dish of the entire dinner. We each took pieces from each type, the only ones I didnt have a chance to try was the beef. Everything else was pretty good and very flavorful. Just got to watch out for the tomato one, it exploded in your mouth and the juices were burning hot, wasn't expecting that.
The next thing that came was the volcano and dragon roll. The volcano was really done well as it had real crab meat this time, which I was surprised with š®. The dragon roll was kind of soso. I didnt like the sushi rice as it was very sticky.
The next thing that came out was the sashimi assortment, we got a small as the kids didnt really help us with it. They only like the typical salmon and tuna,they ignore all the other whitefish. We also got the handroll to me it wasn't anything to write home about.
The last thing was the wagyu beef sushi, I was really looking forward to this one and it came so late, right before we were all pretty stuffed. The same thing happened when we were in Japan and it was the best wagyu ever, I told my wife I would go back to Japan just for the waygu sushi...lol.
Ok so back to Jersey, this one was ok. It had more flavor of the burned sides and not enough beef flavor, also the ac was cranking so cold that this thing was already cold by the time it reached our table, it really killed it. I was really disappointed with it.
Overall the ambiance of the restaurant was nice, but the cold temp and high prices didnt hit the mark for me. For the price and 45 min drive... I wont be making the drive again. Our total bill including a 20% tip was about $290

One of my absolute favorite local spots! The Suntory draft beer is simply exceptional, and the Japanese cuisine here is by far the best around. Always a satisfying experience, highly recommend!

Food is good, music is good and the people are very good. What else is needed here. Apparently, our server was fantastic and I recommend for those who seek for night time dish.
The atmosphere was cozy and fun, and the food was deliciousāespecially the skewers and small plates. The staff were super friendly and everything felt relaxed but well put together. Iād definitely go back again with friends.

Had a wonderful late night dinner here with the fiancĆ©. Service was friendly and attentive, food was great. Atmosphere and decor were modern and well taken care of. I only gave it 4/5 because when we were eating another group who had been sat a few tables away had a women who started crying hysterically. Itās no oneās fault! Just made it a little uncomfortable.
