I had the Gyu-Don and it was great! I’ll definitely come back to try some of the Filipino food. There’s actually more different foods on the menu than listed on the website so you just have to come in and see what’s on the daily menu! The owner is amazing and one the sweetest restaurant owners I’ve met in a long time. Can’t wait for my next visit

This was surprisingly a pleasant experience, compared to my first impression. The wonderful lady chef is the same person who serves the table as well. Luckily we were the only party dining in.

I was looking up Japanese curry places nearby and this came up as one of the best rated on Yelp- finally got a chance to visit today and it was well worth the trip! The place gets really busy as its a one person operation but Kim is absolutely great. I got the chicken katsu curry and it was excellent! Great portions, nice crispy exterior and juicy interior. Definitely will come back soon to try the ramen.

I visited with my dad and I got tonkatsu curry while he got chicken curry, the food was absolutely delicious. On top of this, the owner is a wonderful woman though, she let us in even though we got there after dine-in hours ended (check the website!) and was super sweet. I would HIGHLY recommend eating here. Delicious, authentic food with quick service and a kind owner.

Best Ramen shop in all of North Jersey. The owner is also the server and the cook, and is the sweetest woman ever. Besides the friendly environment, the food is absolutely amazing and very authentic. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Went here for an amazing lunch experience with my husband on Friday afternoon and I really can’t recommend eating here more. Small space ran by chef extraordinaire, Kim. It’s just her in the kitchen, whipping up Japanese and a few Filipino dishes made to order. We got some gyoza to start and I got the chicken yakisoba and husband got the shoyu ramen. All dishes, felt like I was at this lady’s home eating her home cooked meals. She cooks with love and it’s all in the flavors and presentation of her dishes. What an awesome experience and such a pleasure to meet Kim. She’s so delightful and an amazing chef. So glad we found this spot! Highly recommended!

Noticed this place finally not to long ago. Glad my wife and I decided to finally try it. Amazing cooking. It’s one woman who cooks like you are her family. I felt the love in each bite. She is a total master of her craft. We will definitely now become regular customers. Go in, be polite and patient, it’s absolutely worth the $$$ and the wait.

We took a day trip to Paramus and decided to stop by Japino for lunch based on excellent reviews. The reviews were completely justified. The owner and chef Kim was an absolute delight and served up food that was just as delightful as her personality. My wife and I lived in Japan for a bit and ever since we returned we’ve been chasing down Japanese food that makes us feel like we’re back there (not so easy where we currently live). The food and experience deserve 6 stars out of 5. Trying to find out how I can move closer just to eat here all the time! Thank you for the great food and conversation, Kimさん.

I think it’s a great restaurant with a unique concept. The owner is the only one who works here and she makes delicious food. It may take a little longer than other restaurants to have food ready but the waiting isn’t unreasonable. I recommend go there when you are not in any rush and enjoy the food there. Recommend pork katsu curry and kyudon!

Awesome little restaurant! Ran by one woman (who is also ridiculously friendly and interesting as a person), so expect a wait if she has a lot of orders. It’s completely worth it though, as she puts her heart and soul into the dishes prepared. One of the most fresh and delicious takeout experience someone can ever have
