About Chipoba

Chipoba is a Japanese restaurant known for its delicious and high-quality food, run by Japanese owners, which is a rarity in New Jersey. The restaurant has a small seating area, but customers can also call in their orders. The menu features many items with Japanese names, but it is easy to understand as the food is illustrated. The poke bowl is a popular choice, offering a generous amount of food at a reasonable price. The restaurant also offers vegetarian options and vegan choices, making it suitable for different diets.

Visitors often praise the friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and the quality of the food. Customers have enjoyed dishes like the poke bowl with salmon, shrimp, masago, cucumbers, spicy mango, crispy onions, and Purple rice, describing it as the best poke bowl they've ever eaten with very fresh fish. The ramen options, such as Spicy Miso Ramen with Chashu & 6 Minute Egg, are highly recommended, with the broth described as very fresh and flavorful. However, some have noted that the texture of the Chashu pork can be tough and not cooked long enough, which affects the overall experience. The Aburi Chashu Rice Bowl has received some criticism due to the pork texture.

Parking is convenient with many meter spaces in the town center, which are free after 6 pm. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible at street level. Despite being closed on Sundays, Chipoba remains a popular spot for lunch or dinner and is highly recommended. Customers appreciate the attentive service and the attention to detail from the staff, making each visit a welcoming experience.
