This place catered a simcha for us in the past, so when we found ourselves in the area and hungry, we figured we'd stop in. That was a mistake.We were warned that food would take 15-25 mins. After about 40min of waiting we noticed other families weren't taking it anymore and grabbing anything available in the pre-made area just to feed their kids. We had to do the same. In the end, It took over an hour to get our food.Was it fresh? No, despite the fact that they were apparently busy, sandwiches tasted old, and the bread, stale.Was the chicken juicy? Nope, dry.And the portions? Disappointingly small.The burger was fine though, so at least there's that.The whole experience left us very disappointed.Conclusion; they're good for catering but the dine in experience is awful.

SUCH STINGINESS = CHILLUL HASHEMThis is a very expensive take out restaurant with mediocre glatt kosher food. Rather than inviting customers to sample foods so we would eat more and buy more, the manager uses cameras to harass (non-yeshiva) customers for sampling the smallest morsel of cooked foods before reaching the cashier. Such stinginess is not the "Ayin Tov" expected from G-d fearing Yiddin. On my many occasions there I never saw a food sampler for those dining there. However, the set up and dining atmosphere are clean and spacious. Regrettably, I have found those serving behind the counter to be discourteous and condescending to frum women.Baruch Hashem we discovered better glatt kosher take out/restaurants in Teaneck. If this review leads to improvement I will gladly re-evaluate. Thank you

Great place! The main ingredient has an array of sushi rolls on the menu ready to be made within a few minutes.They also have many other items to be bought around the store.They also have a sit down area if you want to eat something in the store.They have plenty of candy and candy trays perfect to bring to your host for a shabbos meal.They have many dips ect..Nice place for Passaic. Definitely worth gining it a try if your looking for a quick meal or extra shabbos food.I would definitely come again.
