Treated me like family and everything on the menu looked so good, it was hard to pick. First time coming here and loved it. Got a bowl with salmon, shrimp, masago, cucumbers, spicy mango, crispy onions, and the Purple rice!!!! Best poke bowl I ever ate and the fish was so fresh. Ty for having me and will come back.

I ordered, Chipoba (South Orange), a couple of times for lunch, and just had to review the ramen. I ordered their, Spicy Miso Ramen w/ Chashu & 6 Minute Egg, on one occasion. And on another occasion I ordered their, Aburi Chashu Rice Bowl w/ 6 Minute Egg. I absolutely LOVED the Ramen Bowl. It was fantastic! The broth tasted extremely fresh and flavorful, the veggies added were fresh and added a nice crisp taste. The Chashu took a little getting used to. Not sure if that’s how ALL of Ramen Chashu comes, but the texture was comparable to being not cooked long enough. Great flavor though! The Aburi Chashu Rice Bowl was extremely disappointing, mainly because for the second time, the pork just did not have a great texture. Everything else was really good though! When I order this place again, might try a different meat or vegan their options. It’s really only the Chashu (Pork), that is throwing the score off a bit. EVERYTHING else was AMAZING! I’d highly recommend, Chipoba (South Orange), to anyone in the area, and are looking for some really good ramen. Unless you’re accustomed to the Chashu, I’d say get something else. The Chashu was really good in flavor, it’s just the texture. The fat doesn’t melt in your mouth, and the pork is a bit tough. But def check this place out, the customer service is so dang good. They’re really nice and attentive. The Spicy Miso Ramen broth is delicious.

Food is amazing the workers are super friendly, only think I would change about the ramen broth is super salty. Perfect amount of noodles and broth. The buns and poke bowls are super delicious. I love how you get too choose what you want in your poke bowl. The boba teas are amazing. My favorite is the milk taro bubble tea. I think they need more chairs and tables inside. I know they can’t fit allot in such a small space. I’m so happy there’s a bubble/poke bowl place in town so now I don’t have too go too nyc all the time too get it. Sad there closed on Sundays because allot of restaurants in south orange are closed. But if your in town defiantly stop by!

A Japanese restaurant actually run by Japanese
A rarity in New Jersey
Excellent food
Really a take place although they have a few seats
I think typical of the type you would see in Tokyo
You order and they bake the food in the spot or you can call in
A lot of good names are in Japanese but easy to figure as food is illustrated
Poke bowl is their spect and you get a lot of food for a very reasonable price
Highly recommend for much or dinner

Ordered a poke rice bowl with salmon. Thought I had ordered grilled salmon but they brought me raw salmon (my mistake). When I explained they offered to grill it for an extra $2 (grilled salmon is only $2) but then changed it to $4. Not sure why but that's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Other than that the food was delicious, the atmosphere is cozy, they have a pretty decent sized menu, and the staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend stopping by.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of meat free options

Parking: Free after 6.

I came here for the first time, thinking it was a nice Rumen place but when we entered they were loud talking and the food tasted like store bought ramen and the brown sugar boba was horrible too .
