Aikou - Morristown

I had an excellent meal here on New Year's Eve! I ordered the chicken pad Thai and a salmon avocado roll, both of which were absolutely delicious. This place is a fantastic sushi spot. My boyfriend opted for the sushi dinner, and he enjoyed it as well. The staff is consistently attentive. I witnessed a girl drop her chopsticks, and a server promptly brought her a new pair. I’m not sure why, but we can always get a table without much hassle. I will definitely be coming back!

The food was excellent. We also tried the chicken lettuce wraps, which were delicious! The portion size of the shrimp dish was generous. Additionally, we ordered the chicken fried rice, and it was fresh, flavorful, and packed with plenty of white meat chicken without being greasy.

We ordered rock shrimp, carnation, angel, and dynamite rolls. The portion of rock shrimp was small, but they were crispy and the spicy mayo had a nice kick. The angel roll featured very crispy shrimp, which was a highlight. The carnation roll was quite good, but the dynamite roll was a bit bland. While I think the quality of the fish they use is good, the rolls just didn’t quite hit the mark for some reason. The fried ice cream was enjoyable, but the portion of ice cream itself was quite small.

I ordered pad thai with shrimp take out. The dish had an assortment of ingredients but I liked the ample shrimp (5-6 were included) and the onions were particularly savory. There was a lot of liquid at the bottom of the food but overall it was good. The miso soup was ok (every miso is pretty much the same thing).

This place has gone down in quality. It 's been about 2 or so years since I 've been here. My husband and I were walking around town and we stopped in for lunch since I remember it being very enjoyable in the past. Tuna avocado roll was suspicious. Had a fishy flavor and did not taste fresh. It was also chewy? I 'm not sure if it was the seaweed/nori or the fish. We didn 't finish this as we were a little concerned. Chicken lettuce wraps were edible and fine, but lacked flavor and the chicken was very oily. Chicken lo mein looked like it was barely stir fried. The chicken was so pale in color as if it really wasn 't cooked. There are better Asian cuisines in town.
