“I have been ordering from Happy Wok for over ten years. We usually get sushi for takeout and the fish is always fresh and delicious. The service is also friendly and welcoming when we dine in. Besides for sushi, the menu has tons of options and they are all great!! you can taste the Happy wok hei!“

“Charlie and Sharon are an incredible team. The food is amazing!“

“Amazing. There is options for everyone the flavors are insane. You can choose between an item based menu a set menu or omakase and all of them are worth it, everything tastes so fresh. Staff is super nice and can accommodate your requests. Price is a bit steep but it’s fair for the quality of the products. Like let me tell you I think this is the best quality of fish in central New Jersey at least. Unfortunately it is a BYOB but they can accommodate. Big fan will be coming back!“

“Considering the neighborhood, the pricing makes sense. Produce is definitely overpriced. I love their onigiri. I can stock up on my favorite snacks and sauces when I’m in the area, including the cream puffs that come in a box of 12. Love to bring my friends in.“

“Great service, great sushi. Delicious sushi combo and Clinton roll.“

“The service and food were excellent! We got the Sushi Boat and couldn't believe how fantastic it was. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!“

“Haru Sushi is easily one of the best sushi spots in the area. I’ve yet to try anything I didn’t enjoy — the sushi and sashimi are always fresh and prepared with great attention to detail.

The dining and prep areas are immaculate, and you can tell just by watching how clean and organized the chefs keep their workspace that they truly care about their craft.

This has become one of my family’s go-to places for sushi. The consistency and quality keep us coming back. It is truly a hidden gem in our area!“

“My husband, who eats sushi like its water, found this place one day and couldn't wait to show me. They are a small, cozy shop in a basement in the city. They have a respectively diverse menu for a sushi restaurant and make everything individually to order. With this in mind, yes please plan to spend time there. It is a bit pricey, but for us it is worth it every time.“

“Delicious 😋 thank you for your wonderful service during these tuff times..“

“We stopped in on the way back from a trip to Trenton. We searched for a place to get Pho, soup dumplings and boba tea. This place hit on all three.
This is a small store front and at 9 PM on a Saturday it was very busy. There were a few seats open but most were full. There were a half dozen or more people waiting for food and drinks and a steady stream of people were coming in to pick up takeout.
The decor is contemporary, bright and busy lots of signs, specials, menus, etc.
There were only three employees visible and all were in constant motion.
The service was efficient without time to do much more than acknowledge each customer.
The food and drinks are focus and the draw
I am not a huge fan of boba tea, but when asked to try it, I have to say that it was excellent. The milk tea was rich and flavorful, the bobas were not too sweet, the texture was so much better than others that I've had. (Admitting that I am no expert, I will say that I will definitely explore the drink options when I am able to visit again.)
The soup dumplings were delicious. Many different flavors shown through and blended perfectly.
My favorite pho is roast pork, which was not an option, so we got the standard beef. It was also very good.
This seems to be a Princeton staple and I can absolutely see why. I wish they were closer. I would absolutely be a regular if it was close to home!
I would highly recommend this place!“

“Went here last night with a friend! Service was lightning fast, and the noodles had just the right bite to them!“

“All you can eat!! Fresh fish!“

“I really enjoyed these tasty and unique dishes they served . Fresh and delicious! The servers were helpful and very pleasant! Thank you for a very memorable dinner!“

“Midori is our local Go To for consistently good sushi. We've been going here for a few years now since they reopened a while after COVID. My neighbor's turned us on to the place when they ordered sushi platters during and after COVID since they didn't open their dining area until much after most places had already opened. Their sushi and food has remained consistent with quality and taste and never failed us. Sushi is always fresh tasting and lots of variety of specialty rolls also. My kids really love the chicken katsu dinner and always get that. Their Kani salad is one of the best I've had around the area. Their dining area is nice and large with plenty of seating and is a great atmosphere. They are BYOB also, which is a plus. It you are from the area you are missing out if you don't have Midori as one of your go to local sushi spots. You won't be disappointed.“

“Love the North Riverside location they’re always delicious and the customer service is friendly and welcoming to say the least.“

“Love coming here. Best Ramen by far. Even if we live a distance away, this is worth the trip.“

“You have to try the sweet potato tempura sushi. What a revelation! My omnivore friend and I had a great vegan meal here. There are several vegetarian options that won't make anyone feel deprived.“

“Not sure why the reviews were bad. My salmon nigiri was excellent and soft despite looking a bit less presentable. The Beef Ho Fun was delicious and addictive with soft chewy rice noodles. The service was insane at around 2 lb. I weighed it because I diet. The spicy tuna hand roll was good. Prices are competitive and they deliver themselves, outside the apps.“
