“From start to finish, our experience was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail from the service to the food was top notch. The new owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, checking in throughout the evening and truly making us feel like valued guests. The chef is nothing short of incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell there’s a deep passion and talent behind the menu especially if you’re a fan of French Mediterranean cuisine, which was executed to perfection. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an elevated yet cozy dining experience. A must visit spot that I’ll definitely be returning to!“

Our server was professional and friendly, immediately inquiring about any food allergies—a thoughtful touch when dining somewhere new. Their recommendations were spot on, and the menu offered a diverse range of options to suit everyone's taste. Definitely a must-visit in Montclair, NJ!“

“Excellent - wonderful lunch menu with daily specials . Soups snd risottos are my favorites but the entrees are delicious and perfect amounts. The soufflés - from choc to mango - are to die for. Even the expressos are good.“

“I love coming to Wasai Bistro whenever I’m visiting the east coast. I’ve followed Chef Nelson since his days at Aozora and Wabi Sabi. His food quality, menu options, and value are unmatched in the area. Once you try his food you will understand why he has so many repeat diners. I highly recommend the Mes Reves Roll, Uni and bone marrow ramen, Miso glazed sea bass entree and salmon lover entree but it’s very hard to go wrong with anything Chef Nelson serves. Parking is street parking only but honestly I’ve always had a very easy time finding a spot. BYOB so you can drink what you love.“

“Wish had menu or weekly display of what available during week or daily“

“Crepes, both sweet and savory are always good. Ambiance is great and the place is very cute with murals of the Eiffel Tower and french music in the background. Every time I go, we are the only people there. If you have a bigger group, wait times will be longer because I think the person who takes your order is also the cook and the waitress. I’ve never seen anyone else working there. She often has an unpleasant attitude that sours my experience, but I go because my mother loves the crepes and the food is good.“
