“Let me start with the constructive feedback- and if you are still reading based on the scoring- you clearly want to try this place. -Wish there was a more accessible entry- not stroller friendly. -Wish some of their dishes came with sauce to dip in since a lot of it is finger friendly. -Wish their menu didnt label all the seafood items as vegetarian. Now the good, because a little bit of lifting and asking can help with the above! Service was amazing. Our server was super informative and guided us on our culinary excursion. Szechuan Ravioli- spicy vinaigrette so may be a little on the sour side for some, nice crisp on the outside Fried Rice- serviceable, not much to it Impossible Duck Bun - vegetarian, nice flavor profile and a good bite Vegetable Bowl - lots of veggies and a choice of noodles or rice. Get the noodles. Shanghai Wontons- we ordered this last but we should have done this first... and in multiples. My fav dish because I am a sucker for spicy peanut sauce. Spicy Vegetable Bun- also a great bun, cant go wrong with any of them really. Nice sauté on the vegetables and great flavor. If you made it this far....go! Get those shanghai wontons to start and see where your journey takes you!“

“Location was lovely, service was ok. Food was great. Only 1 think I didn't like. I said no tomatoes, made a point of expressing it a few times. Bacon, chicken sandwich ? had tomatoes. (Mine you, I can take it out myself, but I don't like tomatoes, it wets the bread the seeds stay on the sandwich.) I asked them if they were just going to remove the tomatoes and give Me the same sandwich. Cause I can do that myself.) The waiter said they would make me another one. They didn't they took the sandwich for 10mins and just removed the tomatoes. I could have done that myself, that's why I ask. I got pink stained wet bread, now cold, with the tomato seed. I hate that they said they would make another to just bring me the same one. What is the point of asking people how they want their meals. If you are just going to do whatever. I DIDN'T LIKE THAT AT ALL. THOUGHT THAT WAS TRASHY.“

The ramen was spicy but good and the Domodachi Lunch set was abundant and good. Parking wasn't bad for a weekday and service was prompt.“

“Really cool, hip spot in Caldwell for good Peruvian food. Our server knew exactly what to recommend as well when we asked about the specials, entrees, and appetizers. We had ceviche as a appetizer as well as some Maduros and they were quite tasty. I really enjoyed my main entree which was a Mofongo saltado which adds a nice Dominican fusion/flair to it. For dessert I went with the flan and espresso and I feel like you can't go wrong with that choice. My friends had the tres leches and they mentioned it was super tasty too. Not too many seats in the restaurant so make sure to call ahead and make a reservation.“

“Wow! I loved this bakery! We went to visit the area, and happened upon this bakery. There were all sorts of options to try: scones, cookies, cakes, croissants, donuts, etc. There wasn’t one dessert we tried that we didn’t like. The blueberry scone had to be my favorite though, well, and the chocolate croissant. Nothing was too sweet or too dry, the flavors were great! Staff was so nice. Would love to come back again!“

Its the first time my partner and i have had to get a box to bring our leftovers home ever, it was that good. Thanks to the chef who was working solo today. :)“

“ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. My wife and I came here for a quick lunch. Although inside was not busy it felt very comfortable to eat in. We came during lunch hour when prices are at a discountI ordered the beef with rice lunch special and THE TASTE WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD. By far my fav. Only minimal comment I can make is that I wish my dish came in the same fancy stone bowl my wife got with her Teriyaki chicken over rice. Mine came in a long brown takeout box.As mentioned my wife got the teriyaki chicken over rice and 10/10 the flavor was delicious as were the vegetables.We also ordered chicken katsu Bao buns and Pork Bao Buns. Chicken was very tasty, but when I unwrapped my pork Bao bun it almost looked like we received the beef Bao bun as the cut of meat on the bun looked exactly like the beef I had with my lunch special dish. I imagined the pork being a crispy pork belly piece.All in all this place was very good and I plan to come back again. I am looking forward to ordering the pork Bao bun again to see if the meat is supposed to look like the beef or if it’s an actual crispy pork belly piece(s).“

“I came in around 6pm to ask about times and see the menu. I was helped by a very kind woman who provided me with a paper copy of the menu to review as I got ready for dinner. Upon arrival at dinner time, I was seated and attended. It was only one other pair in the restaurant (next to the bar) area. The place was pretty peaceful and had low music. The steak was a perfect medium well strip. It cut through like butter. I loved the texture. The mashed potatoes were so tasty and plentiful; it was topped with two baked home-made potato chips. The broccoli had minced garlic, which is not mentioned in the menu but, which transformed it from regular steamed broccoli to a tasty side. I will definitely be used that in my future recipes. I can't wait to return to this hotel and to this restaurant. I'm sure you can come have a bite even if you aren't staying at their equally as wonderful Renaissance Meadowlands Hotel.“

The portions are big, which was great for the price. The ambiance was also great, as they played great music. They also put the birthday girl's picture on the menu he which I thought was such a nice touch. The service was as phenomenal, our waitress was patient and super sweet! I will definitely return soon. Restaurant is small, so I suggest making a reservation if it's more than 2 people.“

“It has been many years since we last visited this place. It was for Father's Day, since my husband loved risotto.This time around, as luck would have it, we were only five minutes away (having just ended with our son's baseball game). We stopped by for Mother's Day dinner. The place was busy, but luckily we were able to get a table for five once we got in. It was a nice small space that had two sections. And, the hostess and staff were nice and attentive.It took a few minutes for our food to come out, but when it did, the staff were quick and helpful. They also provided warm baked bread and butter.The food was really delicious. My mother-in-law really enjoyed her stuffed mushrooms as did we with our own dishes.Definitely a great place to try if you're in the area.As an FYI, there is a 4% additional charge of paying by credit card, and 20% gratuity for parties of five or more people. And it is street parking.“
