RAMEN GAMI REVIEWS

This is a very good Japanese cuisine restaurant in Newark, the atmosphere is friendly, clean and pleasant. The service is great and the staff are awesome. Shana gave me a few samples of their different sauces, I enjoyed them all! I also enjoyed the Sparkling Yuzu drink and the hand rolled mango roll.

I’ve been here a couple of times, and it’s definitely worth checking out. The ramen is really good, and the portion sizes are generous. However, if you start adding a lot of extra toppings, it can get expensive. Overall, it’s a great place to grab a quick bite.

Went here for my lunch break. Received my food in a reasonable amount of time. It is a lil busy due to traffic of college kids. The ramen was so good just as I remembered from a few years ago. Glad to see them back open.

SARKU JAPAN REVIEWS

Food is always prepared hot and fresh. The teriyaki chicken entree is delicious, especially when you add some spicy mayo or yum yum sauce into the mix. The staff has always been kind and responsive. Shout out to Vernon, who is consistently a pleasure to deal with. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent service, especially with the $8 Teriyaki deal on Tuesdays! It was so worth it for the generous portions they give. The staff was so kind and communicated with us very well. The store was clean with lots of seating. I was happy my mobile order was ready quickly because I walked a bit to get there! My friend and I ordered Chicken and Shrimp Teriyaki and we loved it.

I Dont Know What All the Fuss Is About in the Reviews... I Believe They Give a Proper Portion of Meat w the Rice... And Ya,, the Taste is a Bit Mild... But That Cup of Teriyaki Sauce They Provide is There for a Reason... Thats What Completes the Meal... The Lady at the Counter Treated Me Well... The Chicken and Shrimp Combo Ran Me $12 Bucks.

SAKURA JAPAN NEWARK REVIEWS

I go there whenever possible. They are a clean establishment. They have great off street parking, and the staff is friendly. They have a great selection and their exclusive items are amazing. I personally recommend the Red Bull Roll or their EMT Roll. I began my journey with sushi there, they make the sushi right in front of you. Definite must go if you like sushi.

The food is always good here. The bubble tea is also delicious. Great portion sizes. I get extra chicken and am always happy with it.
