pastaRAMEN 6 South Fullerton Avenue, Montclair, NJ 07042

"I had high expectations for pasta ramen, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The dish was mediocre, lacking the expected burst of flavors. The disappointment was amplified by a lengthy three-week wait for reservations, making it a less-than-ideal dining experience. The ambiance was really nice and the service was great. I would not return though."

"Our experience was definitely worth the hype! The atmosphere is great, but be prepared for a loud environment. The servers were all very helpful and knowledgeable of the restaurant and its menu. Now for the food.. I'm honestly beyond impressed at the success in making Italian and Japanese fusion work so well. It's a fun concept with great execution. Everything was very tasty, and had plenty of flavor balance between the two themes. I will definitely be returning when I can snag another reservation!"

"Oh my, this is now my new favorite restaurant. My husband and I got the omakase because it was our first time and wanted to try a little bit of everything. Every single dish was made to perfection. The waiter was also very nice and frequently checked in. The food came out quickly and tasted like perfection. The hostesses were also extremely nice. While I wish the reservations weren’t so hard to make, I can appreciate that the small dining room makes it so that you’re receiving your food very quickly and the wait staff is able to give you their full attention. I will absolutely be back!"

"Delicious! All the dishes are very flavorful. Bao buns are always a good choice and the shrimp scampi is a staple. The new truffle dinner from the updated fall menu was a good change of pace as we have dined here a few times. The music could be lowered a pinch but the ambiance is great."

"Although I loved the atmosphere and the vibe of the place was absolutely energizing, I can't say that I loved the food. The presentation was great and it had flavor but it wasn't absolutely amazing. I only say this because others have visited the establishment and gave it raving reviews. I guess I had high expectations. The staff was wonderful and informative and the manager was accommodating. I did like the matcha lemonade that was quite tasty. I understand the menu is constantly changing so maybe next time I'll try something else."
