Yakitame Bento & Katsu started in 2022 under the name Kiori Japanese Kitchen. Located in Morris Plains—including Morristown, Parsippany, and Hanover Township—we combine traditional Korean and Japanese cuisine. We are opening in Jersey City with a more diverse menu based on the existing Kiori Japanese Kitchen menu. The store’s name, Yakitame, combines the Japanese words “yaki,” meaning grilled, and “itame,” meaning stir-fried. For customers accustomed to the flavors of Korean and Japanese cuisine, we will serve the existing delicious taste; for those who have not tried it, we will offer a new, delicious taste that will keep you coming back for more.

I recently did a food photoshoot at Yakitame Bento & Katsu and genuinely loved the experience. The team was kind and welcoming throughout the entire shoot.
I got to try the fish katsu and it really stood out: crispy on the outside, light and flaky inside. It tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. I’d definitely recommend stopping by if you’re craving a solid katsu spot.

Love the food here! We ordered pork and chicken katsu and a karaage rice bowl. Everything was fresh and delicious. The takoyaki with big octopus pieces reminded me of Japan! We came back for their ramen to go, which arrived home perfectly (see picture). Not sure you can find another place in the area with 5-star ramen, 5-star katsu, and 5-star donburi. Our kids loved it too!

This place is fantastic.
The prices are fair and reasonable. For one ramen, one rice bowl, one bowl of edamame, and a specialty ‘corn’ coffee (tasted like egg-drop Vietnamese coffee) I paid a total of $38. The rice bowl is generous enough to include egg and radish with a small bowl of soup akin to miso (had a fishier taste). Both entrees filled us completely. Food was hands down perfect – I was in the mood for this style of food and it absolutely hit the spot.
The front/server was charming, polite, and welcoming. The restaurant is small and seating is limited. Bigger groups might want to call ahead (4+). I only saw two tables for two, a bench against the wall with four stools, and one table for four. Has a cozy but clean vibe.

The food here is amazing. I have been ordering take-out for some time, but this time I tried ramen in house. So-so good. Their karaage and katsu are mouthwatering too. Basically, everything on the menu is delicious. I definitely recommend this place A LOT.

I recently tried Yakitame Bento & Katsu in Jersey City, and it was a really satisfying casual meal. The place has a simple, no-frills atmosphere, but it feels welcoming and perfect for a quick lunch or takeout.
I ordered a katsu dish, and it was exactly what I hoped for—crispy on the outside with a juicy, tender interior. The panko breading had a great crunch, and the katsu sauce added a nice sweet-savory flavor. Many of their meals come as bento boxes with rice and sides, which makes the portions feel generous and well balanced.
The menu also includes ramen, karaage, gyoza, and different rice bowls, so there are plenty of options if you want something beyond katsu.
Service was quick and friendly, and the prices felt reasonable for the amount of food you get. Overall, it’s a great neighborhood spot if you’re craving Japanese comfort food like crispy katsu or a hearty bento box. I’d definitely come back again.

Yakitame Bento & Katsu
This meal delivers exactly what you hope for in a satisfying bento experience. The grilled yakitame slices are tender and flavorful, layered over steamed rice with just the right amount of glaze. The fried egg adds richness, while the pickled radish offers a crisp, tangy contrast. The miso soup is light and comforting, with fresh green onion for a subtle lift. Paired with a chilled peach Mogu Mogu, it’s a well-balanced combination that feels both hearty and refreshing. Presentation is simple but inviting, making it a solid choice for a casual lunch or dinner.

I started off with a seaweed salad and a chicken onigiri — and even with just those two simple dishes, I could already tell the food quality at this little gem of a restaurant was top-notch. Then came the spicy squid rice bowl… WOW. Absolutely delicious! The spice level was high, but the flavor was perfectly balanced and bold.
The man at the front was super friendly and attentive, checking in often to make sure everything was just right. It’s clear they care about their customers and the food they serve. This place is awesome — I’d recommend it to anyone, and I’ll definitely be back soon!

This looks small on the outside but it’s mighty in the inside, highlighting the service and food! The food is straightforward and affordable. Large portions and delicious! Service is amazing and super attentive, food also comes out fairly fast.

Excellent addition to the neighborhood. Ramen was hot, flavorful, and a great portion. The chicken wings were super crispy. Everything is made fresh so you may wait a bit, but absolutely worth the wait. Can’t wait to go back and try other menu items. The service was very friendly as well. BYOB.
